Maybe it was the humble attitude of the defeated army that made Vyazevsky get face satisfaction, maybe he didn't want to cause dissatisfaction with the life and death of these wastes, you know, there are about 50,000 servants and cannon fodder troops in the team, and he also pointed at these people to block the guns.

Vyazelsky slowly retracted his gaze and muttered: "Thinking of the first offense, this time I will spare you, if there is a next time, military law will deal with it, now we are about ten kilometers away from the position of the Chinese army, and China repelled our first attack, it should not be expected that we will launch a second attack after us, so we must immediately launch an attack and catch him by surprise." ”

"What?" Everyone is stunned, and they are going to attack the Chinese army again? Is this Vyazelsky the reincarnation of a war maniac? The first time he attacked in the name of beating China by surprise, and ended in a complete defeat, he didn't give up and wanted to do it again!

But the cannon fodder army and the servant army did not dare to touch the moldy head of Vyazesky, they could only hope that there were people who understood in the Russian army.

Sure enough, a colonel named Rogreve persuaded very incomprehensibly: "Your Excellency Vyazelsky, our soldiers are tired and hungry, and they have no ability to continue fighting, and besides, the heavy snow obstructs the view, we can't see the layout of the Chinese army clearly, and it is difficult to make targeted strikes, so it's better to wait for the snow to stop and then fight a decisive battle with the Chinese army?" ”

Vyazelsky did not have a seizure, but smiled and waved his hand: "Your suggestion is very reasonable, but don't forget, we are the attacking side, as the attacking side, it will take time for our artillery to be launched, and this time will be the most dangerous moment." will be completely exposed to the artillery fire of the Chinese army.

And the heavy snow gave us the best chance to get artillery to the front, although we couldn't see clearly the layout of the Chinese troops. But they didn't know that we had brought the artillery up, so we just had to fire at the general direction. The fire from the muzzle of the cannon will be obscured by the heavy snow, so that the Chinese army will not be able to locate it, and he can only passively be subjected to the shells and hit the Chinese army indiscriminately, while our warriors will attack the Chinese army with all their might, and it is entirely possible to defeat him and relieve the siege of Vilneburg.

Of course, I know that everyone is tired and hungry, so that's it. I'll give you an hour to eat, and after an hour, the whole army will be pressed! ”

It must be said that Vyazevsky's analysis is quite plausible, in that era, the role of artillery was quite large, and it is difficult to imagine that an army could accomplish operational goals alone in the absence of artillery.

At first, Wang Feng only had two naval guns salvaged from the British ship Hermes, but he took these two guns to Beijing without hesitation. And play a huge role, so to speak, without these two guns, the trip to Beijing would have become very troublesome.

There was heavy artillery shelling of the Chinese troops. Obviously, it will increase the chances of victory, especially since Vyazes means that the whole army will be pressed, that is, including the Russian army, will also participate in the offensive. This has more or less balanced the hearts of the various ethnic groups in Central Asia.

No one was opposed to Vyazelsky's battle plan anymore, after all, fighting against the Chinese army. Everyone knows that it is very difficult, and the annihilation of nearly 50,000 cavalry is the best proof of this. So, if you're sure, why not give it a try? It's better than when the snow stops, visibility returns, and there are no more secrets between the two sides.

The Russian army still has 150,000 men, three times the size of the Chinese army, and can mobilize troops to outflank and encircle, and the line of sight is blocked, which is more advantageous than the Chinese army that is on the defensive.

A Russian staff officer reminded: "Your Excellency General, the Chinese army should send a patrol post to observe the movement of our army, which is very unfavorable to our offensive, I think we should start from two aspects, the first is to send a small force to clear the Chinese patrol post, and the second is to send a small force to clear the Chinese patrol post, and secondly, before the shelling, the main force stays in place, creating the illusion that our army is not attacking, and only sets out from the center of the formation with more than 10,000 troops to protect the artillery unit to move forward slowly, which can ensure the secrecy of the artillery unit to the greatest extent." ”

"Good!" Vyazelsky immediately shouted: "Colonel Rogrive, in half an hour, you will lead a thousand people to hunt down those nasty flies, limited to one kilometer, I don't want any more flies to appear within one kilometer." ”

"Yes! Excellency! Rogriff gave a military salute.

Everyone took the time to eat and rest, and although they were nibbling on cold, hard dry cakes and hard-to-chew beef jerky, and the water source was to dig a handful of snow into their mouths, it was the only way to restore their strength.

The snow was falling incessantly, and there was a tendency to increase, and the visibility was further reduced, and the two armies were ten kilometers apart, and they both knew each other's existence, but they could not see each other, and even if they sent out patrols, they could not find too many details, and it was very dangerous.

Even if the Russian army does not send troops to hunt, when you can see the other side, the other party can also see you, often just a glimpse, you need to transfer, which makes the patrol post of the Democratic Alliance Army can report that the Russian army stops ten kilometers east of the position.

This is a rare occurrence in the world's military history, and it is precisely for this reason that both sides are vigilant enough.

"It is reported that the Russian army is stopped ten kilometers east of it and shows no signs of moving."

"Report, the Russian army has not moved, it is still ten kilometers east."

"Report, the Russian army sent a small force to start driving our army to patrol the outposts!"

Every few minutes, a piece of news came, Li Erhu did not dare to relax a little because the Russian army did not move, after all, ten kilometers is too close, so close that the artillery only needs to move forward a little, and the artillery can be fired.

When the last message came, Li Erhu's brows furrowed.

A staff officer also heard the unusual, and couldn't help but say: "Commander Li, how do I feel that the Russian army wants to take risks, he won't attack again, should we move our position?" The Russian army is on the side of the active attack, and such weather is in his favor. ”

"No way!" Li Erhu didn't want to deny it: "The more you can't see clearly, the more you can't move, otherwise once the Russian army attacks with cavalry again, we will be very passive, who can guarantee that the Russians' war horses are all consumed?" And as a Chinese soldier, we have the glory and self-esteem of winning every battle, why should we make way for the Russian army? ”

As he was talking, Li Erhu's voice softened, and he said: "Pass on my order, the removal of corpses will be stopped immediately, and there will be no need to transport the horse meat back to the last batch, and the whole army will be dispersed, with brigades as units, no more than 500 meters apart, and artillery will be scattered into each brigade." ”

"Yes!" The herald relayed Li Erhu's order, and the circular formation formed by the Democratic Alliance army immediately spread in all directions, and some people rode to the east to convey the order.

Now that a lot of horse meat has been piled up in the army, it is not that Li Erhu is greedy, but that he is in the steppes of Central Asia, and it is in the cold winter season, so it is quite difficult to get supplies from the rear.

The ammunition is better, before the departure, it was expected that it would take a long time to fight, and the ammunition of each unit was overmatched, which could ensure continuous combat for more than half a month, but if the ammunition was carried too much, the food would inevitably be affected, which was also the fundamental reason why Wang Feng asked the combat units to take food on their own as much as possible.

Although he captured Tashkent and obtained a lot of food, the consumption of hundreds of thousands of troops was not a small amount, and Li Erhu was unwilling to waste any of it.

"Huh? Listen, what sound? "Not long ago, when the order to retreat was received, a soldier who was cutting the last leg of a horse suddenly looked to the east, and a sound like a rut came faintly.

"It's still very heavy, could it be that the Russian devils are here again? But what does he do with the cart? Another fighter added.

"It's not good, it's artillery! Artillery, for sure! ”

In the wind and snow, there were scattered dark gray shadows, which was obviously the Russian army, the previous wave of offensive had just passed, and now there was another wave, and it was still in a continuous hurry, and in the case of the first arrival in Narneburg in the wind and snow, the tenacious style had to be admired.

There were only three or four hundred people at the scene, and a soldier hurriedly asked, "Commander Zhang, should we withdraw or stay to block the attack?" ”

This head Zhang is called Zhang Bo, and he shook his head: "I can't go, can you see the shadow in front of you clearly?" There is cavalry inside, as soon as we run, he will inevitably pursue, not even a kilometer, none of us can run back, now we can only fight to the death, while he is not paying attention to us, he can also be caught off guard, you, you, hurry back and inform Commander Li, the rest of the people will stay with Lao Tzu, fight one by one. ”

"Head Zhang, go back and report the news, Lao Maozi will hand it over to us!" The two soldiers who were named hurriedly asked to stay.

"Get out, get out of Lao Tzu, and then don't roll the military law!" Zhang Bo didn't look at it, and waved his hand impatiently.

"Commander Zhang, brothers, take care!" Staying to block the attack was almost a life of death, and the two soldiers were slightly shocked, but they also understood that someone had to go back to report the news, either themselves or someone else, and pushing back and forth would only delay time.

The two of them gritted their teeth, and even the corners of their eyes turned a little red, and solemnly saluted the soldiers who were left behind, perhaps this was the final farewell, and then handed over the bullets and grenades, and ran back.

Zhang Bo swept left and right, and said: "Anyone who is afraid of death, go back!" ”

"Head Zhang, don't ask, people are dead, I'm afraid of a bear ball, hurry up and arrange it, at least my old man won't leave!" A battalion commander named Lao Wu howled dissatisfiedly.

"Yes, Captain Zhang, arrange it quickly, no one will leave!" The rest of the fighters also took a stand.

"Good!" Zhang Bo nodded and said: "It's four kilometers back, and it takes fourteen minutes to run, and the Russian artillery can hear the sound but can't see it clearly, which means that the distance should be between one and one and a half kilometers, which is almost enough range, and the gun carriage will be deployed at any time, so we can't all point to the two of them to report the news."

Chen Dang, you are limited to collect twenty grenades within two minutes and bundle them together to detonate, it is expected that Commander Chen should be able to see the fire, and the rest of the people will disperse and catch up with Lao Tzu, remember, each person will leave a grenade for himself in case he can't leave.
