Chapter 1550: Marching into Cullen City
"Alright, you two don't quarrel!"
Brigadier General Adrian, the commander of the Cossack cavalry on the side, said helplessly, "Now you still have the heart to quarrel?" Our 50,000 troops, but it is already crumbling, the food of the entire Weihuo City has not lasted long, even if there is no cavalry of the Ming army in the west, it will take at least 20 days for the follow-up transportation team to arrive in Weihuo City, not to mention that the cavalry of the Ming army is strangling our logistics supply line, and we cannot replenish the grain and grass in time, what should we do now? What to do? Once the ammunition is exhausted, the army of 50,000 will become a group of refugees! ”
The two of them stopped arguing at the time, yes, now that the Rakshasa army is facing a dilemma, and if they fight among themselves, they are purely looking for death.
"Adrian, what's your idea?"
Chernkov asked.
Adrian sighed and replied: "Two roads, one road, send a large army, advance to the west, attack the cavalry of the Ming army, open up our grain routes, as long as the safety of the supply line is ensured, the Rakshasa army of Weihuo City will naturally be as stable as Mount Tai; The second way, concentrate all our forces, attack the city of Kulun, before we run out of food, take Kulen, and feed the war with war, as long as there is food, everything is easy to say! ”
Chernkov shook his head and said, "Attack Kulen City? Where is it so easy? Where is the hoarding of tens of thousands of troops of the Ming army, if Ananiyevich brings 15,000 troops, then we can take the city of Kulen by virtue of the superiority of troops, but now we are not sure, or we will send troops to the west to open up our supply lines? ”
Ananiyevich replied: "No, although it is difficult to attack the city of Kulun, at least we can feel the place, and the strength of the troops is superior, it is still possible to take the city of Kulen; However, it will not be so easy for us to attack the Ming cavalry in the west, won't they run away if they can't beat us? From Kazan to Weihuo City, a full 6,000 miles, people can hijack our grain and grass in almost any position, once they play a game of cat and mouse with us, then no one knows what time it will take, in order to be able to clear the threat behind, I think, it is still necessary to take Kulen City, use Kulen City as a springboard, loot the Mobei Mongolian departments, replenish military supplies! ”
"However, it is not so easy to attack Kulen City, the ammunition is enough, but we only have twenty days of food and grass, but it will take more than ten days for us to reach Kulen City, and the remaining ten days can guarantee that we can take Kulen City? There is no possibility, Kulun City is not Weihuo City, Weihuo City is only less than 10,000 troops, but Kulun City now has tens of thousands of troops......"
Chernkov smiled bitterly.
Adrian said in a deep voice: "It's not that there is no opportunity, Kulun City is admittedly strong, but one is that the defense of Kulun City is far less solid than Weihuo City, and second, the tens of thousands of troops in Kulun City are not all elite divisions of the Ming army, the main force is still the Mongolian cavalry of Monan and Mobei, only good at field warfare, not good at defending the city, and lack of firearms, this is our opportunity, and all the departments in Mobei have been gathered around Kulun City, we can attack Kulun City while looting the Mobei departments, to fight to support the war, too long to say." , looting the army's military rations, cattle and sheep for a month, there is still no big problem! ”
Cherkov hesitated, unable to make up his mind for a moment.
Adrian continued: "Chirkov, there is another point, if we besiege the city of Kulen with all our might, once the city of Kulen is in danger, then the Ming army in the west will inevitably hear the news and come back to help, when the time comes, we can set up an ambush and volley halfway, with the strong combat power of the Cossack cavalry, I think it is not difficult to defeat it, and when the time comes, the problem of logistical difficulties we are facing will be solved!" ”
Cherkov's expression was shocked, Adrian's last reason finally made him tempted, encircling the point to send reinforcements, and killing the Ming cavalry in the west is definitely the best policy, no matter whether Kulen City can be taken or not, as long as the elite cavalry of the Ming army in the west is solved and the supply line is opened, the Rakshasa army will be directly out of the predicament, and it can be attacked and defended.
"Okay, since that's the case, then we will attack Kulun, pass the order, leave two thousand troops to guard Huocheng, and the rest of the army will go out to besiege Kulen with all our might, and we must attract the elite of the Ming army in the west and gather it and annihilate it!"
Chernkov made up his mind to fight the Ming army in Kulen.
Now that the Rakshasa army has been repairing in Weihuo City for two months, and has been recuperating, and the army's combat strength has returned to its peak state, Cherkov still has a lot of confidence in taking Kulen City.
Just one day later, Chernkov took all the Cossack cavalry and most of the elite Rakshasa infantry to the south and north, and the troops went straight to the city of Kulen!
Mobilize all the elites of the Rakshasa army in one go, how can such a big movement be able to hide the cavalry scouts sent by Kulun City, and some cavalry have already transmitted the news back to Kulen City.
Song Jiaxing got the news of the Rakshasa army's departure, and he didn't feel the slightest nervousness, but instead let out a long breath and laughed: "It's good, in the past two or three months, it's really aggrieved, since their Rakshasa army dares to come, then don't blame us for cleaning it up!" ”
"Master Inspector, we can't underestimate the enemy, the Rakshasa army has many firearms, more than two hundred artillery pieces alone, and the combat power is extremely fierce, now only the third town of the Tianwei Army is here, Mo Nan and Mo Bei's cavalry are fighting field battles, charging into battle and thinking, defending Kulun City, 30,000 Mongolian cavalry is not as good as 20,000 infantry......"
The vulture on the side smiled bitterly, "I suggest that you should send cavalry immediately, and quickly ask Qin Mufeng to return to Kulun, he is the most elite second town elite cavalry in the whole army, and his combat power is unmatched ......in the world."
Song Jiaxing laughed and said: "Haha, vultures, you are too cautious, without Qin Mufeng's fine horse, Kulun City is still as stable as Mount Tai, this time, their Rakshasa army will definitely not return!" ”
Not only the vultures, but even Norbu was a little confused, so that the Rakshasa army had no return? Inspector Song is really confident enough, and the confident ones are a little conceited, you know, the elite cavalry of the third town of the Tianwei Army has been transferred away by 1,000, and the elite troops of Kulun City are even weaker......
Song Jiaxing said with a smile: "Two, don't worry, maybe relying on the third town alone, we can't help the Rakshasa Army, but what if the main force of the Tianwei Army arrives?" Now Lord Yifan is leading the main force of the three towns from the capital to the north, and it is only four hundred miles away from Kulun City, and it will take seven or eight days at most to reach Kulun City, and with the main force of the Tianwei Army again, not to mention the 50,000 Rakshasa army, even if it is a 100,000 Rakshasa army, it is definitely no return! ”
