Chapter 876: The Death of the Eight Banners (Part II)

The conspiracy of combining inside and outside has been quietly laid in secret, but the devil six in the bureau is unaware, and his eagerness to fight and vain his attempt to restore the glory of the Eight Banners is his biggest weakness, as for the two Mongol khanates, they are bent on Moscow's goods, and today's Tsarist Russia is a vulnerable store in their eyes.

The army passed through Nizhny Novgorod, looking at the boundless plain, the faces of the three were full of excitement, the plain is conducive to marching, and in half a month, a million troops will be able to drink the horses of Moscow.

Since the army left Nizhny Novgorod, there have always been Russian scouts around, and the atmosphere has gradually become a little tense.

Today's Moscow is indeed worth paying attention to, most of the population of dozens of surrounding cities is gathered in this area, once Moscow falls, at least tens of millions of people will die under the swords and guns of the Qing army, this battle is also a national battle for Tsarist Russia, if this war is defeated, then Tsarist Russia will also be defeated, and Yang Meng's prediction is different, Tsarist Russia's troops around Moscow are not 2.5 million, but a full 4 million.

Nearly one million regular Russian troops, and the remaining more than 3 million, all of them are Tsarist Russian civilians who have picked up swords and guns.

More than one million regular troops have built a tunnel defense line that stretches for dozens of miles in front of Vladimir, and more than three million militiamen, along both sides of Vladimir, are carrying out counter-encirclement of the Qing army on the march. To the army of Tsarist Russia. Caused a lot of trouble. In order not to expose the true purpose, they could only march 100 miles away from the Qing army, once the true purpose was exposed, in the face of the powerful Qing army, the three million militia responsible for the encirclement could not stop the breakthrough of the Qing army at all.

In this regard, the shadows and new troops among the Eight Banners and the Mongolian soldiers were also very helpless, not that they did not know this information. It's that the blockade on the side of Tsarist Russia is too tight.

Thousands of scouts were sent out, but it was not very realistic, and there was no news of the scouts of the squad after they went out, and in desperation, the shadow and the new army could only pass the book through the flying pigeon, asking Shi Dakai as a backup to predict the battle situation.

The simplicity of the means of communication allowed the army of the devil six to enter the encirclement of Tsarist Russia step by step, and when Shi Dakai's analysis arrived in the army. It was already late, and the march was five days long. The large army, which was between Vladimir and Nizhny Novgorod, was completely encircled by the Russian army.

Fighting on the plains, most of the regular army and militia of Tsarist Russia could not stop this army, but after the trenches and other fortifications were dug, it was not easy for the army of the six devils to break through, and it was not easy to stretch for miles or dozens of miles of tunnel defense lines.

Unlike the Northwest Army, most of the Eight Banners and Mongolian soldiers under the command of the Devil Six are cavalry troops, although their marching speed is fast, but their weaknesses are also extremely prominent.

On the Tsarist side, it was precisely the super mobility of the cavalry of the Qing army that took advantage of it, and when the encirclement was formed, the army of Devil Six could already see the first line of defense of the Russian army in Vladimir.

The encirclement has been formed, and the Tsarist side does not need to cover it up anymore, the situation is extremely unfavorable for the Devil Six side, but it is impossible to easily solve this huge cavalry team that is surrounded within a radius of hundreds of miles.

Yang Meng's pit killing methods are not to let these horses be wantonly slaughtered by Tsarist Russia, the hard-hitting war of attrition is the key, and the Tsarist Russia, which has suffered heavy losses repeatedly, is also unable to support a long-term encirclement and annihilation war, these more than a million people and horses, only a small part of the Qing army, if it is delayed for too long, this huge encirclement near Vladimir can only be a joke, once the follow-up troops of the Qing army come to help, the entire encirclement will be useless.

Most of the devil's six sides are cavalry, and the battle is focused on a speed, and the Tsarist side does not dare to delay for a long time, so after the encirclement is formed, the two sides immediately start a decisive battle.

Under the heavy design, the encirclement and annihilation battle on the side of Tsarist Russia and the breakthrough battle on the side of the Qing army entered a white-hot confrontation at the first time, and the militia of Tsarist Russia, whether it was the Eight Banners or the Mongolian soldiers, had a considerable advantage.

On the first day of the battle, the Devil Six lost nearly 300,000 horses, while the Tsarist militia responsible for the encirclement paid millions of casualties, and the regular Russian army in front of Vladimir also paid more than 100,000 casualties, the result of four to one, the biggest reason is the equipment rate of weapons on both sides, the Tsarist Russian militia, most of them are holding cold weapons, and there are very few guns.

The bloody nature of the Tsarist militia is nothing to the devil six and others, what they see is the military exploits, the division of troops in five ways, the impact of huge casualties in the army, and the impression that the Tsarist side is vulnerable is also deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, after all, the men and horses who went out to fight have killed and injured the Tsarist army in large numbers.

Many times, people are like this, you are worse than me, I can keep fighting with you, 300,000 casualties can not be gathered in a day, without knowing the casualties, the devil six sides have also made certain adjustments, that is, the army abandoned the horse and fought on foot.

Although the cavalry has a great advantage over the infantry, but against the militia of Tsarist Russia, which has no firearms, the lethality of the infantry gun array is greater, and the horses are the top priority of the army, and the task of guarding hundreds of thousands of horses has become the power of the elite troops, and the elite of the Eight Banners and the Mongolian soldiers is only the new army.

This war was of great significance to the two Khans of Mongolia and the six devils, and it was also an opportunity for them to get rid of the Han forces in the army, so half of the new army in the army was pushed out, and as the horsemen who guarded the horses, only a few new troops participated in the big battle with the Russian army.

Yang Meng didn't know this kind of news, if he knew, he was afraid that he would immediately laugh, this time he killed the Eight Banners and Mongolian soldiers, what he was worried about, in addition to the tens of thousands of new troops, was horses, although the million army was not all cavalry, but the number of horses exceeded one million, the loss of population, Yang Meng could quickly make up for it, but the loss of a large number of horses, Yang Meng could not make up for it immediately.

When the army led by Devil Six was fighting to the death with the Tsarist Russian army, Shi Dakai, who learned the information, made a decisive attack, the purpose of his attack was not to meet the men and horses of Devil Six and the new army under the command of Yang Sanye, those hundreds of thousands of horses, in Shi Dakai's eyes, are more important than millions of elite people.

The people and horses of the devil six, still fighting with Tsarist Russia, completely ignorant of their own back road, were copied by Shi Dakai, a traitor, watching the Qing army withdraw a large number of horses to the rear, although the commander of the Tsarist side was a little unwilling, but compared with the horses, they wanted to stay more than the Qing army, and the one on the battlefield had their own interests as the lead, and after Shi Dakai safely withdrew tens of thousands of new troops and hundreds of thousands of horses, he did not have half of the attachment to the army in front of him, and directly pulled the men and horses and left quietly.

The war, as the casualties continue, is also slowly undergoing qualitative changes, the devil six's men and horses, each batch of death, can not only reduce the pressure on the Tsarist side, but also send a lot of guns and ammunition to the Tsarist side, this war, is a light weapon war, the change in the number of weapons, so that the devil six side slowly fell behind.

Vladimir's war has lasted for half a month, this half a month, every day is a white-hot battle, with the aggravation of casualties, the Tsarist side had to continue to recruit militia, and now on the battlefield, in addition to the men of Tsarist Russia, a huge number of women have also joined the ranks of the war, at least more than 100,000 injuries per day, which is also an unbearable burden for the Tsarist side.

"What about backup? Why hasn't the backup come yet? ”

The one-armed devil six, roaring wildly in the big tent, millions of people and horses, killed for half a month, only less than 200,000 left, I thought it was a slaughter that destroyed the withering and decaying, who had thought that it became a trap, and now it will be annihilated without a fight, although the army is very tired, but the people and horses of the devil six dare not slack off.

The two Mongol Khans who marched at the same time have died in the chaos, facing several times the enemy army with me every day, as long as they are on the front line, no matter the generals and soldiers, their lives are in danger.

But the army has no way to retreat, and now the back road has been blocked by the Tsarist Russians, and the casualties from behind the siege are the greatest, and the feasible way now is to break through in other directions in addition to surrendering.

"God-damned Yang Laosan, the Qing Dynasty has fallen for your trick!"

"Lord, let's come down......"

"Bastard minions who are greedy for life and afraid of death, drag them down and cut them down, and the army will fight to the death! Eight Banners Death Battle! ”

When people are on the line of life and death, their thinking is also extremely active, since Yang Laosan entered Beijing, several big difficulties of the flag people are Yang Laosan's hands and feet, and now Yang Laosan is going to close, and he has come to Russia, and the devil has not thought about it, but Yang Laosan's people have done too much in Tsarist Russia before, and it is a dead end for fear of falling.

The most important thing is that the people here have fallen, and Yang Laosan will inevitably be angry with the bannermen of the three eastern provinces. Devil Six is a talent, he can figure out the insidiousness in this, and now the Eight Banners New Army has no other way but death.

"I hope you, Yang Laosan, are worthy of this king! The end has been decided, there is only death, and the army will fight the Rakshasa ghost with me! ”

With the bold words of the devil six in the battle array, the new army of the Eight Banners formed over the past few years was wiped out in Tsarist Russia, and they could not descend to the bloody nature, Yang Meng, who was in the Beijing division, also deeply admired the decision of the devil six, and could only treat the flag man well after that.
