"Leader, after a few days of strong attack, the new army has suffered a lot of losses, most of the new army soldiers are demoralized, and there are even voices of refusal to attack, Orenburg artillery is numerous and well guarded, and the soldiers of the Russian Imperial Army are stubborn in resistance, relying on those ...... that are difficult for the new army to break"

Yuan Fang reported to Li Liguo that the siege had lasted for several days, and Li Liguo, who had no pity for the lives of the soldiers of the New Army, continued to launch high-intensity attacks, and the losses of the New Army and the Russian defenders were very large, but Orenburg had been firmly in the hands of the Russian defenders and could not be captured......

Li Liguo frowned slightly, he attacked the firearms fortress for the first time, he didn't expect that the modern fortress fortress with a large number of muskets and artillery was so difficult to gnaw, this time it was really not those rebel new army did not work hard, more than 5,000 rebel new army, after today's high-intensity consumption, there are less than 2,000 people left, no wonder under the eyes of Li Liguo's lineage, these new army soldiers still dare to fight Li Liguo with resentment......

This new army has really reached its limit, it seems that it is going to change its strategy, after such a long time, Catherine II's crusading army should also be formed. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

"Order the soldiers to be stationed on the spot, prepare for a long-term siege, send a small force to sweep the periphery, and the people at the bottom of Dolara join the army, and also replenish the food and grass of the army!"

"The leader is really wise, our army is here to besiege Orenburg, the military fortress of the Russian Empire, the Russian Imperial Government will inevitably send reinforcements to rescue here and crusade and suppress us, we can completely wait for work, choose the advantageous terrain to ambush the crusading army, as long as the reinforcements of the Russian Empire are defeated, the morale of the Orenburg defenders will inevitably plummet, we can force Orenburg at that time, or expand in other directions with a great victory, the rebel army can definitely expand rapidly!"

Li Liguo glanced at Yuan Fang, and felt a little relieved that he guessed his intentions, such a person is suitable to be a strategic staff officer!

"Well, yes, then send someone to closely monitor the movements of the Russian Imperial Government Army, and surround the point to send reinforcements, how wonderful is the most comfortable."

Catherine II, who colluded with the nobles to murder her husband and ascended to the throne of the emperor, naturally would not let go of the peasant rebel army with tens of thousands of horses!

At the end of October 1773, Catherine II ordered the crusading armies formed in various places to march in the direction of Orenburg in 3 directions, to relieve the besieged Orenburg and suppress the bold leader of the uprising of Joseph Vissarionovich Stalin!

Catherine II threatened to see Joseph Vissarionovich Stalin hanged in front of her eyes!

In Europe at that time, hanging was a harsher criminal law than shooting!

After all, Europeans did not have the ten major tortures of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, let alone such a cruel death penalty with a thousand cuts......

Burning at the stake is generally the prerogative of the Church, and although governments do not have to obey the disgraced Church of Rome, they are not guilty of enmity with the Church under criminal law......

In the expansion of more than a month, Li Liguo, who did not continue to attack and consume the strength of the new army, once again recovered to more than 5,000 people due to the refuge of a large number of toiling people in the surrounding area!

In addition, the sporadic personnel who took refuge were still coming to the garrison of the rebel army in a steady stream, and every day the logistics officers of the rebel army had to receive a few mud-legged people who had taken refuge......

Anyway, they are all used as cannon fodder, and spies also have to go to the battlefield and be shot!

The 3rd Route Army did not come to Orenburg together, and according to the distance, the main force of the 1st Route Army, which arrived first, was more than 20,000 people, led by General Karl, and the Russian general did not take Joseph Vissarionovich Stalin seriously.

In his mind, the peasant rebels were nothing more than a rabble, vulnerable to a single attack, and he would surely succeed immediately!

This is also the backwardness of the intelligence system in this era, the Russian Imperial Government's real strength of the rebel army is mostly hearsay, at most send someone to verify the approximate number of the rebel army, the real combat effectiveness of the rebel army still has to be fought to know!

General Karl's pride and carelessness also affected the army he led, and Karl was not psychologically prepared to face a strong enemy at all, so he casually put up an ordinary marching army column and marched towards Orenburg with a big grin!

Such a good opportunity, if Li Liguo doesn't grasp it, he will fight so many battles in vain!

Just when General Karl marched with his men and horses in a fragile long snake formation, he was thinking about what kind of reward he could get from His Majesty the Emperor after defeating the peasant rebel army, and the dream was halfway done, when suddenly dozens of shells hit his marching army!

Several of these shells landed in the dense crowd of marching troops with unusually accurate accuracy, bringing up a stump and severed arm!

General Karl was startled and almost fell off his horse, only to realize that his troops had been completely unprepared and had encountered an ambush carefully arranged by Joseph Vissarionovich Stalin!

General Karl sat on his horse and shouted orders to return fire at the chaotic marching procession, but unfortunately, in this era of passing orders by the voice of the voice, the chaos caused by the army of more than 20,000 people could not be stopped by a few people shouting at the top of their voices......

And Li Liguo's cavalry troops obviously will not give General Karl the time and opportunity to pacify the army!

30,000 Spartan horsemen, either with straight spears or brandishing sabers, blew from all directions like a whirlwind!

General Karl's soldiers hurriedly took their rifles off their shoulders and aimed at the rushing cavalry to launch sporadic counterattacks, and there was no time to list the tight infantry phalanx!

It is conceivable that the officers and soldiers of the Russian Empire who responded to the battle in a hurry could still withstand the charge of these elite cavalry?

After being rushed into the infantry marching column by the Spartan iron cavalry, the originally chaotic long snake formation became even more boiling!

The Russian soldiers who were cut off and disturbed by the cavalry, the officers could not find the soldiers, the soldiers could not find the officers, and under a blind counterattack, they were quickly scattered and fled by the cavalry impact!

Karl, a proud general, did a very humiliating thing, after he saw the rebel cavalry rushing in, he knew that he had no power to return to the sky, and left his team with a few guards and ran away first......

The main force of the First Road Army was defeated by Li Liguo in a battle! (To be continued.) )
