By this time, Joseph Visalionovich Stalin's territory had already encompassed most of the South Urals, Astrakhan and Kazan provinces, as well as Western Siberia and Western Kazakhstan. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

The territory occupied by Li Liguo is not like in history, which is managed in a mess by a group of mud legs, or even just blindly looted!

Due to Li Liguo's tolerant policy towards the upper echelons of the Russian Empire, such as landlords and aristocratic officials, the basic local management system was not greatly damaged.

Although the use of the officials of the old era increased the possibility of defection, this was all based on the possibility of Li Liguo's defeat, those local governments were completely deprived of their military power by Li Liguo, and a small number of peasant second-line troops were left in each town to guard them, even if these mud legs did not know anything about governing the locality, but they only needed to cooperate with those local officials, the basic position of the mud legs was already doomed, and those old officials could not threaten the foundation of the Russian-Cossack Empire no matter how many hands and feet they used!

The peasant army that had just participated in the uprising was very difficult to be corrupted in the early stage, and those officials of the old era in Russia who were used by Li Liguo were deeply touched!

During the period when Li Liguo was strong, Catherine II did not want to strangle her infant while she was still in her infancy, but after the Russian Empire's investigation and understanding of Joseph Vissarionovich Stalin's forces, and under the persuasion of a group of generals, Catherine II dispelled her impatience to give away her head.

The peasant rebel army with 30,000 cavalry, and the crusading army of less than 10,000 sent over, is enough to fight in the field!

For this reason, the Russian Empire had to constantly gather troops from all over the country, reserve logistics supplies, gather enough troops, and then go to Joseph Vissarionovich Stalin to settle accounts!

However, as the Russian Empire's crusading army continued to expand, and Joseph Vissarionovich Stalin's peasant rebel army was also rapidly expanding, the Russian Imperial military had to repeatedly revise the plan of the expedition, mobilize more troops, and obtain the size of the peasant rebel army in time!

In this era, the intelligence systems of various countries are almost unilateral sieves, and the protection conditions and awareness are very poor, not that the government does not have this awareness, but the people do not have this awareness!

Of course, the real military secrets will definitely not be leaked, but the approximate number of people is easy to know by the surrounding people, so Li Liguo can easily know what the Russian Empire's crusading army is doing, and the Russian Empire also knows very well what the size of the peasant rebel army has swelled!

The Russian Empire, which had accumulated strength, only had some local wars in the local area when the peasant rebel army was expanding, and the scale was not large, and both sides won and lost, which is also the reason why Li Liguo's men only conquered the above-mentioned areas, but did not occupy the entire southeastern part of the Russian Empire!

Until the end of March 1774!

The recharged Russian Empire has assembled 25,000 high-spirited crusaders!

These armies, composed almost entirely of regular troops, were well armed, well-trained, and had high morale, all of whom paid lip service to the Tsar and were familiar with Joseph Vissarionovich Stalin's brutal use of Russian prisoners as cannon fodder......

The only thing this army lacks is probably only experience in large-scale battles, but the lack of experience in large-scale battles does not mean that those soldiers have not killed anyone!

You must know that in addition to Joseph Vissarionovich Stalin, the largest and strongest peasant rebel army, the unpopular rule of the Russian Empire, after a little fragile, uprisings everywhere are full of smoke, and those crusading armies do not stay in the barracks all day to train, they are busy expanding and regularizing the army at the same time, they are also surrounding and suppressing those incompatible rebel armies everywhere, killing people who are called a head!

When the crusade army marched towards Orenburg, Li Liguo, who always paid attention to the movements of the Russian Empire, naturally learned the news, and the 100,000 rebel army, including logistics personnel and second-line troops, walked out of Orenburg under the command of Li Liguo!

The area around Orenburg has long been covered with the double-headed eagle flag of the Russian-Cossack Empire......

Joseph Visalionovich Stalin's slogan was to replace the Russian Empire, and naturally the double-headed eagle was also used, implying his determination not to divide and compromise the Russian Empire, but with a different background to show that it was different from the rotten tsarist army!

The reason why Li Liguo planned to fight the Russian Empire in the field was to show the courage of the Russian-Cossack Empire not to be afraid of the tsarist army, and on the other hand, to protect the territory he had already gained from being ravaged!

The indomitable momentum is clearly more loved by the belligerent Russians!

Li Liguo took advantage of the internal line and planned to choose Samarra, a city not far from the Volga River, for the war!

The Russian crusaders are very confident in their own strength, they know that although the rebel army claims to be an army of 100,000, there are only about 30,000 people who are really equipped with firearms, and among these 30,000 people, there are less than 10,000 people with real combat effectiveness, and there are not as many artillery as their own!

Joseph Vissarionovich Stalin's only advantage was only the 30,000 cavalry regiments, for the cavalry, the generals of the Russian Empire believed that the brainwashed crusading army would definitely be able to withstand the cavalry charge!

Because these generals of the Russian Empire did not think that a peasant rebel army could be armed with cavalry units with strong willpower!

Li Liguo, who closely observed the movements of the crusading army, learned the news that the crusading army was crossing the Volga River under the reconnaissance of the scouts!

The Russian Imperial Crusade Army knew that the main force of the peasant rebel army was staying near the city of Samara, and even if a hurried march came, it would not be enough to interrupt the Russian crusade's crossing of the river, even if theoretically Joseph Vissarionovich Stalin's cavalry troops could force a march over, but!

Not to mention how much combat strength the cavalry troops who forced the march over, by that time, the crusading army had at least crossed half of the troops, could it be said that half of the elite tsarist regular army could not defeat 30,000 tired mud-legged cavalry?

And Li Liguo's approach was precisely to let the 30,000 cavalry troops rush to the place where the Russian crusading army crossed the river!

The generals of the Russian Empire thought that the real main force of the peasant rebel army was the infantry, but Li Liguo knew that the seemingly huge infantry of the rebel army could not defeat 30,000 guards cavalry at all!

Li Liguo knew that the Russian crusading army on the opposite side all had the combat effectiveness of their own Guards Infantry Regiment, which was not comparable to the Russian soldiers who were defeated by themselves before! (To be continued.) )
