Chapter 875: The Death of the Eight Banners (Part II)
In the battle of Russia, Yang Meng did not intend to destroy Tsarist Russia from the beginning, and the price paid to destroy Tsarist Russia would never be small, compared to extinction, splitting is a better choice.
Moscow is a key city, once Moscow falls, the Russian army to the north can be the capital of Tsarist Russia, St. Petersburg, the south can occupy the Balkan Peninsula side into the Black Sea to connect with the Mediterranean, north is the road to conquer Tsarist Russia, south is to enter the road to conquer Europe, its key position can be seen.
Since the army conquered Yekaterinburg, it went north and south, controlling most of the Eastern European Plain, and the area of Moscow west of the Volga River was a blank space for the Russian army.
Moreover, the army of Tsarist Russia has not been defeated on a large scale, according to the scale of the Crimean War, the regular army in Tsarist Russia is at least about 1.5 million, and the vast majority of this 1.5 million Tsarist Russian army is gathered around Moscow.
This seems to be a loser's move, but also very important to Yang Meng, this battle, obviously to kill the Eight Banners New Army and the Mongolian kings among the rebellious forces, but this is not the point, like European countries, Yang Meng's focus is also on the future peace talks, this battle is to show that the Qing Dynasty is determined to destroy Tsarist Russia, with this as a foreshadowing. I am not afraid that Tsarist Russia will not sign the alliance under the city.
So this battle is won or lost. For Yang Meng. It doesn't have much impact, it is gratifying to win, and it is just as happy to lose, as for the Tsarist side, take this opportunity to fight back, Yang Meng is not worried about this, the array of ten thousand cannons is not as simple as it seems. Once the Tsarist Russian army stupidly pounced, the total annihilation was only a matter of fingers.
Like Yang Meng, the six devils and the Mongolian kings who participated in the war are also worry-free, this battle is a big pie for the six and others of the devils, this Moscow and Jiangning have the same status, one of the big cities in Tsarist Russia, dozens of surrounding towns, and the capture of Moscow means not only merit for them. And great wealth.
In this operation, the devil six is the commander. The Mongolian kings helped, Shi Dakai and other Mongolian kings were stationed around the artillery array as backups, watching the millions of troops march one after another, Shi Dakai also sighed as a farewell gift.
Although like Li Xiucheng, Shi Dakai also hated the Manchu Qing Dynasty and hated the Eight Banners, but he was born in the rivers and lakes, and he did not hate the heroes of the Eight Banners.
Not to mention Shi Dakai's melancholy, the army of the devil six, the army divided into five routes to go straight to Nizhny Novgorod, a major town on the Volga River, this city, is a key place, a few years ago just built a direct railway to Moscow, the city to the west of five hundred miles is Vladimir, eight hundred miles west is the goal of the battle Moscow, if you can use the train, three days, the front of the army can reach the city of Moscow, even if it is a march on foot, half a month later, the front of the army can also reach the city of Moscow.
The five road army of the devil six, very lightly crossed the river and captured the Nizhny Novgodero, the devil six armies did not care, this thing has often happened recently, the Russian army pointed out, the cities of Tsarist Russia, have been abandoned, the Mongolian cavalry that has experienced many empty cities is the most calm, and the new army of the Eight Banners also did the same, after entering Nizhny Novgodro and looting, the army continued to want to march Vladimir.
"Shi Qincha, Prince Gong's army has broken through to Nizhny Novgorod and is marching towards Vladimir, but around Nizhny Lovegorod, there are movements of the Tsarist Russian army."
In Shi Dakai's military tent, the Mongolian kings were on the side, and after listening to the return of the horses, Shi Dakai did not speak, but just focused on the Mongolian kings in the tent.
"Shi Qincha, in addition to King Gong, there are two Mongolian Khan kings involved in this army, a little Tsarist Russian thieves are not enough to fear, if we are east, I am afraid that the three princes in front of us will not be able to hang on their faces, if they are just unable to hang on their faces, it is still a trivial matter, once the three princes believe that we are going to fight for merit in the past, this matter will be troublesome!"
Turghat Khan, has now become one of the Mongolian kings, there are a number of powerful figures, under the support of Yang Meng, he is a little sorry for people if he doesn't fight, although the current Turghat Khan is strong, but compared with the two Mongolian Khans who went out to fight the six years old, he is still a weak goods, those two khans are unruly masters, not to mention that Turghat Khan can't afford to provoke them, that is, Devil Six and Shi Dakai, but also treat these two with courtesy, in the army, strength is authority!
Turghut Khan said the jealousy in his heart, and the Mongolian princes present also began to pour bitter water, these two domineering are abnormal, there are benefits to occupy first, and there are no benefits to occupy, touching the moldy head of these two, it is really unwise!
Now these two are involved with Prince Gong of the imperial court, and they are even more domineering, and they can't afford to provoke them!
"That's what you all think? Judging from Ben Qin's mission, Tsarist Russia's action this time, I am afraid that there will be an ambush, if it is not saved, I am afraid that the three princes in front of him will be more auspicious! ”
Shi Dakai in front of the Mongolian kings, named Qincha, is actually the military adviser of the Mongolian kings here, involving the framing of the two Mongolian Khan kings, for his own future, Shi Dakai does not want to leave a handle to the Mongolian kings, and points out the conspiracy of Tsarist Russia to encircle and annihilate the three kings, if the Mongolian kings have the heart to rescue, Shi Dakai also has other ways to let them fail, of course, holding his hands on the wall is the best choice for the Mongolian kings, otherwise, the few remaining Mongolian kings will have to be cleaned again.
"Ambush? Shi Qin is a little worried, right? Have we seen fewer big battles along the way? This time, the Manchurian and Mongolian joint troops were selected, and the million men and horses selected were all elite divisions, and if the three kings were defeated, it would be the same for whoever went.
If the three kings are undefeated, let's go, it's a trivial matter to complain, if the three kings execute the military law in the battle, it's not beautiful! ”
As the mouthpiece of the Mongolian kings, the knowledge of the Turkhut Khan is naturally not shallow, among the Mongolian kings, except for Shi Dakai, who does not have a few people who understand? Even if there was no before, now there is, because of the anti-corruption thing, many Shaoxing masters went to the northwest to seek a way to survive, these Shaoxing masters from the northwest have built a military curtain on the side of the Mongolian kings, with the existence of this group of people, the danger of the battle of Moscow, the Mongolian kings are not unclear, but compared with the interests, some dangers are to be taken in the end, so there is the strongest two khans and the devil six partners.
"yes!"
"The Great Khan is right!"
"Just this battle, our hundreds of thousands of people went, and it was also given for nothing."
"Let's take a look at the situation, if it's really bad, it's not too late to ask for help from the Marquis Zeng!"
……
The Mongolian kings, you say a word to me, the atmosphere is magnificent, and the heart is even more mirror-like, but none of them are willing to defend the back road for the army of the three kings, or the sentence of the dead friend is not dead and poor, not to mention that the two khan kings are not very well treated in this group of people?
"Now that the princes have made a decision, then Da Kai won't say much, but there is one sentence that I still have to say, after the princes go back, you must be on strict guard! Don't let the Russian army break through the Volga and counterattack our army! ”
The battle of the Mongol kings to eliminate dissidents, compared with the eastern king of the year, is more than a hundred miles away, this military curtain will not be trusted by the Mongolian kings, it seems that we should think of a way, in the Mongolian kings' military curtain, recruit a group of people.
After Shi Da opened the account here, he sent a message to Yang Sange through the channel of Guò Shadow, and when he got the news that Li Xiucheng was about to enter Russia with his family, Shi Da laughed, it seems that their brother still has a law here in Tsarist Russia!
"Huh...... At this time, the six devils and the two khans of Mongolia will definitely die!
From Moscow to Nizhny Novgorod, it is completely a plain, although there are some rivers in between, but it is only a hindrance for the army, once the number of Russian troops exceeds our men and horses, plus a continuous trench, the Mongolian iron cavalry can only dismount and carry guns as infantry!
Tsarist Russia and the European countries were anxious to make peace, although the number of participants in this battle was large, but the duration must be extremely short, and it is likely that in a month, the army of Devil Six will be completely annihilated.
Of course, in terms of their combat power, it is not a problem to pull an equal number of Russian troops to accompany the burial, and if they are lucky, it is possible to pull a half-cushioned back!
Inform Zeng Disheng that during this period of time, we must step up the expansion of our territory, before Tsarist Russia seeks peace, we must occupy as much territory as possible, kill and injure the population of Tsarist Russia, the time for peace talks is not short, it will take half a year or a year if it is not good, and the period of peace negotiation is the time for Zeng Disheng's army to loot Tsarist Russia.
We don't want minerals underground, but as long as they are above the ground, we don't let go of anything that is useful to us!
Inform the Mongol kings that relying on the Volga and Dvina rivers to build defensive fortresses, the territory of the new kingdom will depend on how strong the fortress fortifications they have built in the past year. ”
After receiving Shi Dakai's news, Yang Meng smiled, and began to discuss the previous deployment, being able to hit the Volga River valley is already considered high, and if you are not greedy, you will be unlucky, and it is time to accept it when you see it. (To be continued......)
