Zhukov wanted to ask Schikov for help, it was easier said than done.

Besides, if it was easy, wouldn't he have done it a long time ago?

It takes a lot of effort, that's a must, and whether it can be done after a lot of effort, only God knows.

And Zhukov briefly explained to Schikov some of the things that had happened in the past few days, and then sincerely hoped that he could help, and made a heavy promise that if he could help, he would agree to whatever Schikov proposed.

This condition is very favorable, almost the best condition that Zhukov can offer, if it is someone else, I don't want to think about it, I may agree, with Zhukov's words, it is equivalent to the glory and wealth in hand.

However, Schikov can't agree, at least not just like that, if he does, how can he explain to Gutavov, although Gutavov has already let his mother go on the surface, but he knows in his heart that Gutavov can be so kind, Gutavov will not let go until he has fulfilled those three conditions.

With his mother's constraints, Schikov had to be cautious in his dealings.

"I'm very sorry, Your Highness, without the will of His Majesty the Tsar, our army cannot be taken lightly, and you, as the deputy commander of the Western Military District, must know this rule better than me." Schikov said apologetically.

His apology is from the heart, and he can't do it.

If it weren't for Gutavov's tricks and threats to his mother, even if Zhukov didn't make this request now, he would have led his army to help, because he knew in his heart that Zhukov was the legitimate heir to the throne.

And he, the army commanded by Schikov, has always defended orthodoxy.

But who allowed him to have his weaknesses exposed in front of Gutavov. Maybe that's fate.

In fact, Gutavov asked Schikov to lead the army to join before he started the army, and promised him that as long as Schikov was willing to join, then he would be the commander of the three armies in the future.

This promise is not insignificant, the commander of the three armies has always been held by the tsar himself, but Gutavov is willing to give it to Schikov. Apparently, he also considered Schikov to be a rare talent, and he had a very good character.

However, such a promise was made in front of him, and Schikov still refused.

He must refuse, because he has principles, principles of life, principles of doing things. And he doesn't do anything that goes against his principles.

Schikov is a man of temperament.

And Zhukov saw that Schikov refused without thinking about it, he was disappointed, really disappointed.

He originally came with confidence, but he didn't expect Schikov to shatter his confidence without any hesitation, he really couldn't figure it out, was there nothing that made Schikov tempting?

And Schikov held the military power of the Western Military District, even if Zhukov was the deputy commander. Without the commander's order, he would not have been able to mobilize the large army of the Western Military District. Therefore, the road of mobilizing the army without permission will not work.

However, he still had a bit of luck, and he hoped that Schikov would agree to another request, which may not be a big deal for Schikov, but for Zhukov now. Very important.

Schikov nodded and asked Zhukov to come and listen.

"I want to mobilize my guard regiment and the army of the two towns under my direct control." Zhukov was a little apprehensive.

His request was not excessive, as long as Schikov opened one eye and closed one, but there was a lesson just now. Zhukov was still a little uneasy, and if Schikov did not agree, then he could not do anything.

The total number of Zhukov's guards plus the army of the two towns was 50,000, which means that Zhukov asked for the transfer of an army of 50,000 people, which was not excessive, but the number was quite large.

Zhukov looked at Schikov a little nervously, and noticed the changes in his face and all parts of his body, not letting go of the slightest change.

Now he can only hope that Schikov will show mercy and let go of these 50,000 people.

And to his surprise, it was exactly in line with his expectations.

Schikov actually agreed.

Zhukov also thought that there was something wrong with his ears and heard it wrong, until he asked several times in a row, but Schikov stopped speaking, and Zhukov knew that the dream had become a reality, and Schikov acquiesced to mean that he had agreed.

Zhukov suddenly felt the urge to cry, it was wonderful, it was a real surprise.

With these 50,000 people, although it cannot be said that the current situation can be changed absolutely, at least there is one more option.

He really has to thank Schikov for this, he is obviously releasing water.

The situation was urgent, and after thanking Schikov for his kindness, Zhukov seized the time to mobilize these 50,000 people and prepared to rush to the aid of Dimilov.

With these 50,000 men, Zhukov had a mobile force at his disposal, which could be deployed from the outside to support the besieged Eastern Army.

And the Northern Army led by Wasky still attacked the camp of the Eastern Army without stopping.

Corpses were piled up inside and outside the camp, but the battle was still raging.

After this contest, the strength of the two armies has undergone earth-shaking changes.

The inherent strength advantage of the Eastern Army has been greatly inferior to the past under the indiscriminate bombardment of the Northern Army, and the morale has become more and more depressed, coupled with the two major commanders, one life and death are uncertain, and the other is newly defeated by Wasky, the comprehensive strength of the Eastern Army has been far below the Northern Army.

If the situation continues like this, the Eastern Army will not be able to support it for long.

Of course, even if the Eastern Army is defeated, the Northern Army will probably be greatly damaged.

As long as this battle is successfully fought to the end, the result will be a defeat for both sides, which is exactly the result that Lu Wen wants to see, and it is also the result that Huang Xu and others want to see.

Everything is going according to plan, just waiting for the two armies in the northeast to hand over satisfactory answers.

And Wasky couldn't take it for a long time, and he couldn't help but be anxious, but he didn't take advantage of the situation today to capture the camp of the Eastern Army and inflict heavy damage on the Eastern Army, and he was not willing, so he decided to make a desperate bet.

Mobilize all the forces of the Northern Army to stay in the garrison, and it is necessary to take the camp of the Eastern Army in one fell swoop.

As a result, after receiving Waski's order, the army defending the camp of the Northern Army rushed to the battlefield non-stop under the leadership of Lu Wen and others, and joined Waski and others' attack on the camp of the Eastern Army.

Hundreds of thousands of northern troops covered the eastern army camp like a dark cloud.

The war drums were like thunder, the trumpets sounded in unison, and the sound of hundreds of thousands of northern troops and hundreds of thousands of eastern troops made the earth tremble.

The battle was even more brutal than before, and more and more people died.

Lu Wenwen was a businessman, and although he had seen many big scenes, he had never seen such a grand war scene, and looking at such a scene, his face turned white.

In the face of war, life is simply not worth anything.

And in the face of the onslaught of the Northern Army, the camp of the Eastern Army was finally breached.

The Northern Army rushed into the camp of the Eastern Army with a cry of excitement, and the Eastern Army fell to the ground in a panicked resistance.

The defeat of the Eastern Army seemed to be a foregone conclusion.

At this moment, the sound of horses' hooves suddenly sounded in the distance, and a group of soldiers rushed over with shouts.

Look at the banner, it is the army of the Western Military District.

It turned out that Zhukov personally led the people who supported the Eastern Army. (To be continued......)
