Chapter 870: A Thousand Miles of No Man's Land

The west of Yekaterinburg and the southwest region are the first dense urban agglomerations of Tsarist Russia from east to west, there are not many cities in the northwest, and most of the cities on the East European Plain are gathered in the west and southwest of Yekaterinburg.

The army of more than 3 million people seems to be a lot, but it is not enough to really face the behemoth of Tsarist Russia, but Yang Meng's side is victorious in the speed of the march, within three months, he will lay a thousand miles of territory and slaughter tens of millions of people, in Yang Meng's opinion, it is not a difficult task, three months later, the entire Tsarist Russia is afraid that it will rebel en masse, at that time, it is a real hard battle.

In the midst of the bitter battle, the Eight Banners army was invested, 500,000 people, and I am afraid that it would be able to fight cleanly in a month.

Yang Meng dared to march like this, but also relied on, his reliance is today's level of weapons, rifles, artillery, although most countries in the world have popularized firearms, but the exchange of hot and cold weapons, is still continuing, there are no rapid-fire guns, machine guns, aircraft, tanks, these modern weapons, relying on rifles and front-loading artillery alone, whether offensive or defensive, have been greatly restricted, the number of troops, is the key to victory or defeat.

Of the three million troops that entered the west of Yekaterinburg, the Mongolian men and horses accounted for one million, and the West Asian men and horses accounted for one million, which really belonged to the Qing Dynasty's young and strong, but more than 600,000, which was the result of successive military increases.

Compared with the real Northwest Army, the age level of the Mongol army and the West Asian army is much more complicated, but no matter how old or young, these people are all trained in military affairs and can shoot and shoot. Cardboard Shell Dresser. Although it is not the most advanced rifle in the world. However, compared with the standard weapons of Tsarist Russia, the superiority is still great.

Not to mention the cavalry-based Mongol legions, the miscellaneous West Asian legions alone, twice the number, can block the elite legions of Tsarist Russia, the number of the army is too small or too much, it is not easy to use any tactics, facing a raging army of millions of people. None of the tactics were immediate, and it was impossible for Tsarist Russia to deal with a multimillion-strong army in the short term.

Without the support of Britain, France and other European countries, it is impossible for Tsarist Russia to organize an army that can resist aggression. Once it confronts Yang Meng's million-strong army, the disaster of Tsarist Russia will really befall.

Fight a war of attrition. The first one who can't afford to fight is Tsarist Russia!

The army that entered the Eastern European Plain, with hundreds of thousands of West Asian infantry as the vanguard and hundreds of thousands of Mongolian cavalry as the backing, rushed into the hinterland of Tsarist Russia with an unstoppable momentum.

The oncoming several Tsarist Russian armies could not stop such an offensive at all, except for the rout that was the annihilation of the whole army, relying on the captured map of Tsarist Russia, the real massacre, radiating the countryside with the city as the point, and setting off a thick blood wave on the land of Tsarist Russia.

Tsarist Russia one step earlier, entered the era of hot and cold weapons exchange, the introduction of hot weapons, is also changing the layout of the city, and the Qing Dynasty city is different, Tsarist Russia's cities, most of them are not cities, the city is not strong, in the face of a huge number of troops, there is only a part of the slaughter.

After the city is lost, the small towns and villages below are even more vulnerable, and after the army captures a few cities, it will turn back and slowly slaughter the people of Tsarist Russia, with infantry as the blockade line and cavalry as the main force of slaughter.

In a month's time, Zuo Ji Gaoshang was on the way back to Beijing, the army of the devil six had just walked a third of the way, but Zeng Disheng had already captured nearly twenty cities, more than a thousand miles of territory, had already arrived, the massacre was only the first step of the war, for the hinterland of Tsarist Russia, Yang Meng did not mean to occupy it, the land here, even if it was occupied, would be the territory of the Mongolian kings in the future, what he cared about was the wealth of these lands now.

Thousands of miles for officials are only for money, thousands of miles of war are also for money, Siberia is enough to satisfy Yang Meng's appetite, Eastern Europe is not Yang Meng's meal, Eastern Europe's wealth is.

Tsarist Russia is a strong country, even if it loses the Siberian region, Tsarist Russia is still a strong country, destroy Tsarist Russia, today's Qing Dynasty has certain conditions, but it is only a certain condition, I really want to do this, I am afraid that Tsarist Russia will not be destroyed, but it is the country behind Yang Meng that is divided, the European world will not allow Tsarist Russia to be destroyed, once the conflict between the Qing Dynasty and the European world is provoked, with today's conditions, it can only be that the Qing Dynasty is divided.

In the face of the whole of Europe, there is no advantage at sea, and the advantage of having more land soldiers will also be swallowed up by the army of the whole of Europe, millions of land forces, Tsarist Russia can't take it, but Europe can take it, the overall military level, the Qing Dynasty is still lagging behind the European world, and it can only die in the end.

As long as Yang Meng's side does not occupy the territory of Tsarist Russia excessively, as long as Tsarist Russia still has the ability to breathe, the European world will not directly participate in the war, and it is the most correct choice to accept it when it is good.

Fortunately, Yekaterinburg is not far from Kazakhstan, and land transportation can be regarded as able to support the transportation of large-scale looting materials, and the population of Kazakhstan is also quite large, and they are not treated with Tsarist Russia.

Kazakh nomadic groups, whether cattle or horses, can participate in the transportation of materials, as long as they are properly organized, no matter how much they harvest, they can be transported out of the territory of Tsarist Russia.

Nearly three million troops, in a month, created the first thousand miles of no man's land, this is just the beginning, maybe the army still has the strength to fight again, but Yang Meng, who was in the Beijing division, gave an order to stop fighting and collect materials, a thousand birds in the forest is not as good as a bird in hand, the territory west of the Ural Mountains, no matter how much it occupies, it is not their own, or the materials that can actually be obtained are more important.

The timing of Zeng Zuo's breakthrough through Yekaterinburg is very good, it is the time when the crops of Tsarist Russia are not harvested, which means that after a few months, the army can also carry out an autumn harvest in Tsarist Russia, the Eastern European Plain is the main grain-producing area of Tsarist Russia, as long as it destroys or occupies the vast majority of the grain producing areas of the Eastern European Plain before winter, Tsarist Russia will celebrate the New Year with tears this winter.

People have bad roots, killing and plundering, especially can cause people's bad roots, killing more people will be easy, looting more, no longer thinking about production, killing and plundering, Yang Meng has always let the Mongols as the main force, the new country established by the Mongolian kings in the future will inevitably have a mortal enmity with Tsarist Russia, and it will be good to pull hatred now.

After the army stopped killing, it was mainly engaged in looting, and the materials of one city after another were sent to Yekaterinburg, and then transferred to Kazakhstan through the hands of Kazakh people, and after arriving in Kazakhstan, a group was diverted, and then transferred from Kazakhstan to the country, and the valuable items were naturally the Qing Dynasty, and the fragmentary things were the remuneration for the Kazakh transfer of materials, and the remaining materials that were not easy to carry, Yang Meng did not waste them here, and built a Great Wall west of Yekaterinburg, and needed a lot of materials, This is the basis for the future Mongolian kings to resist the counterattack of Tsarist Russia, as for where to build, it is not something that Yang Meng needs to plan, it depends on the ambition of the Mongolian kings, if their ambition is enough, even if the Great Wall is built on the outskirts of Moscow, Yang Meng has no opinion, this thing depends on the vision of the Mongolian kings.

Compared with the orderly advance and retreat of the front-line army, the Tsarist Russia was much more chaotic, and the Tsarist Russia still can't understand how the Qing State can have such a combat capability, the defensive direction of Tsarist Russia has always been the European countries, and the Qing State has no threat at all in the eyes of Tsarist Russia.

In the opinion of everyone in Tsarist Russia, the Qing State's attack on Tsarist Russia this time was purely a bluff, and the so-called Winter War was also plausible, who would have thought that the Qing army would be able to break through Yekaterinburg soon after the beginning of spring?

The scale of the war of millions of people cannot be supported by today's Tsarist Russia! In the face of the embarrassing scene on the Eastern European Plain, the tsar is waiting, in terms of the balance of power in Europe, Britain, France, Germany and Austria will not sit back and watch Tsarist Russia be destroyed by the Qing State, rather than asking for help, it is better to wait for Britain, France, Germany and Austria to take the initiative, and politics is also a very helpless game!

So far, the war report in Tsarist Russia still stays on the day of the fall of Yekaterinburg, and the subsequent war report, either because of panic or because of the massacre of the Qing army, has not been transmitted to the top of Tsarist Russia, but any massacre will have survivors or fugitives, and when the survivors and fugitives from the east brought the news to Moscow, the entire top of Tsarist Russia was shaken.

More than a dozen cities have been captured, killing dramas are being staged everywhere, and the actions of the Qing State are to destroy Tsarist Russia!

Waiting, has become a thing of the past, after hearing the news, Tsarist Russia is also busy, asking for help everywhere, but it also takes time to ask for help, no matter which country Britain, France, Germany and Austria, Tsarist Russia wants to get substantial assistance, it will take half a year at the earliest.

Half a year, Tsarist Russia can not afford to wait, prepare for war, in the face of millions of untold Qing troops, the Tsarist military is also extremely difficult, since the Crimean War, Tsarist Russia has been unable to organize millions of troops, the current season is also extremely bad, Tsarist Russia up and down the stock of grain is not much, once the war opens, the grain production areas of the East European Plain are affected, the country up and down the large-scale shortage of grain, the impact is not the last two years, once there is no population advantage, Tsarist Russia wants to rise, it will be difficult.
