Chapter 1538: Confrontation

Fortunately, the Rakshasa army has been attacking Weihuo City for ten days in a row, and it is already exhausted, and Cherkov needs to rebuild Weihuo City as his base, and now it is going deep inland, it is too laborious, and the supply line is too long, it is inevitable that there will be times when the supply is not timely, and it is not allowed to hoard a certain amount of grain and grass in Weihuo City.

Therefore, Chernkov ordered the temporary rectification of the city of Weikho, and at the same time sent an order back to the rear, ordering Kazan to increase troops again, and at the same time to transport supplies to the city of Weikho.

After all, just one battle, the Russian army lost almost seven or eight thousand troops, for 50,000 troops, this loss is a bit too big, and then, I don't know how many tragic battles to deal with, because Cherkov's order gave Guo Zhen the opportunity to deploy for defense.

Guo Zhen continued to transfer troops and generals, and in one breath requisitioned more than 10,000 original Mobei cavalry from Mobei to reinforce Erdenet, and the strength of the army increased sharply to more than 20,000 people.

The two armies began to confront each other on the Mobei Frontier, and a new major war could break out at any time.

The Naturalization City of Mo Nan has now fallen into a tense atmosphere.

Song Jiaxing continuously received urgent battle reports from the front, one by one more urgent, until Duan Xuan's blood letter was delivered to Song Jiaxing's hands, Song Jiaxing finally couldn't sit still, there was no ammunition, eight thousand Manmeng Xinzhen, where is the opponent of the Rakshasa army?

Song Jiaxing is going crazy, constantly sending orders, mobilizing troops, Mo Nan is different from Mo Bei, now the three parts of Mo Bei are unified, all under the control of Norbu, and the mobilization of troops is very fast; However, there are more than a dozen large and small tribes in Monan, each stationed in different positions in Monan, and the troops of the third town of the Tianwei Army are also stationed in various departments of Monan, where is it so easy to quickly gather troops?

Can't wait!

Song Jiaxing was worried about the battle ahead, and directly led the Tianwei army and the Monan cavalry that had been assembled, almost 20,000 people, and rushed to Mobei in advance, and the army behind let the vulture bones lead him, and he rushed straight to Kulun.

When he came to Kulun, Guo Zhen had already sent troops for more than half a month, and even Duan Xuan's body had been sent back to Kulun.

Song Jiaxing just glanced at Duan Xuan who was placed in the ice cube, and he was already unconscious, the two of them stayed in Manchuria back then, and became Zhu Jie's eyes in Manchuria, the two brothers were born and died, and how many hardships they went through before they retreated from Manchuria.

"Where is Guo Zhen now, and what is the situation in Mobei?"

When Song Jiaxing came to his senses, he was already carried back to the governor's yamen, and the middle of his side persuaded him again and again.

Song Jiaxing also knew that now was not the time to be angry, the enemy was current, and the most important thing was to protect the territory and the people, and drive the Rakshasa army out of the Ming Empire, as for revenge, it could only wait.

Qian Hao, the deputy general on the side, replied in a deep voice: "We have learned just now, now Lord Guo Zhen is leading the main force of Manmeng Xinzhen and a part of the Mobei cavalry stationed in Erdenet, and is supervising the offensive to prevent the Rakshasa soldiers from attacking again, however, Erdenet is just a small city, the city wall is short, which is not conducive to defense, and the Rakshasa country has 50,000 troops, even if it is to attack Weihuo City and lose some troops, the combat power is still extremely strong, especially two hundred artillery, which is too threatening to our army, The last general suggested that Lord Guo Zhen be withdrawn to Kulun, and outside the city of Kulun, a decisive battle with the Rakshasa soldiers, the two troops combined, there were 40,000 people, enough to fight with the Rakshasa army! ”

Song Jiaxing asked, "How strong is the Rakshasa army?" After taking Weihuo City in just ten days, could it be that the combat power of Manmeng Xinzhen is so different from that of the Rakshasa army? ”

Qian Hao smiled bitterly: "My lord, two hundred artillery pieces, bombardment in turns, even if Weihuo City is impregnable, it will definitely not be able to withstand such a fierce attack, not to mention that Lord Duan only has 8,000 troops, and more than half of the shells are fake, how can it support for how long?" And the combat power of the Rakshasa army is really not to be underestimated, the brothers in Manmeng Xinzhen have already said, whether it is infantry or cavalry, they are all issued muskets, infantry and cavalry cooperate to attack, well-trained, their cavalry only took less than an hour, five or six thousand Mobei elite cavalry to completely defeat, Norbu is not anyone's opponent at all......"

Song Jiaxing's heart sank suddenly, and in less than an hour, he defeated five or six thousand elite cavalry in Mobei, such a combat power is comparable to the main force of the Tianwei Army, and an army like 50,000 is really difficult to defeat the army of the Rakshasa Kingdom just by virtue of the current rabble.

"Qian Hao, immediately lead the main cavalry of the third town to advance towards Erdenet, if the Rakshasa soldiers enter Erdenet, don't force it to defend it, retreat to Kulun, if the two sides have already fought, immediately cover the retreat of the army, don't fall in love!"

Song Jiaxing said in a deep voice, "Also, immediately send out elite cavalry, return to Guihua City, pass on my generals, open the treasury, take out all our stock of musket ammunition, distribute them to the Mo Nan cavalry, hand them over to the command of the vulture bones, and gallop to Kulun City!" ”

Qian Hao hurriedly agreed, and then said: "Listening to the news from Weihuo City, it seems that the Rakshasa army also has a situation of increasing troops, but the hinterland of the Rakshasa country is too far away from us, even if we march with all our strength and rush from Kazan to Weihuo City, it will take at least more than a month and a half, otherwise we will gather all the troops of Monan and Mobei, and take advantage of the unstable foothold of the Rakshasa army to take the lead in launching an attack and drive them back to the Rakshasa country in one fell swoop?" ”

Song Jiaxing shook his head and replied, "No! In the face of the elite army of 50,000 Rakshasa countries, we have no chance of winning, except for the third town of the Tianwei Army, whether it is Manmeng New Town or the cavalry of Mobei and Monan, the combat power is not as good as the Rakshasa soldiers, a group of rabble, how to guarantee the defeat of the Rakshasa army? If we win, it's good to say, if we are defeated, then the territory of the south and north of the desert will be at the mercy of the army of the Rakshasa country, and even the army of the Rakshasa can drive straight to the Naturalization Mansion, we can't afford to take such a big risk, I have already sent seven hundred miles to expedite the battle report, it won't take long, the court will get the news, send reinforcements, and wait until the court reinforcements arrive, it is the time for us to fight to the death with the Rakshasa country, this time, we dare not drive away the Rakshasa army, but also directly into the Rakshasa country, Cut off the heads of the Rakshasa Kingdom and pay tribute to Duan Xuan's spirit in the sky! ”
