Twenty-five, night with a golden knife (3)
Wu Yundi was very strange, "This, Ulan-Ude, it is difficult to capture for a while, most of my troops are cavalry troops, and it seems that the effect is not good in the siege battle." Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info”
Rong Lu looked around at the generals, "Now the army is pouring out, in order to win, Russia and others are despicable, they should be greatly attacked, in order to declare the prestige of the country, if not, there is no shame to face the fathers and elders in the country, and it is not possible to repay the kindness of the court, since this seat is the commander of the army, the emperor decreed, I am allowed to send troops independently, and now I am here, and I will divide the troops in Sol Mountain, and all the departments will obey orders!" ”
Wu Yundi stood up, bowed slightly, and the rest of the generals knelt down together, "The ministers and others obey the commander's dispatch." ”
"Madeshan, you lead three hundred musketeers and three hundred cavalry to the northwest from Sol Mountain," Rong Lu commanded, "and the target is Erkou City." ”
"Yes, the last general is at his disposal," Ma Deshan half-knelt on the ground, "dare to ask how long it will take to reach Erkou?" ”
"No matter the time," Rong Lu said, "The White Lotus Sect spies came to report that there are several defense lines south of Erkou City, and they must be Russian soldiers retreating from Sol Mountain, and it is really difficult for you to break through the defense line in a few days, and," Rong Lu smiled confidently, "I don't want to see too many Russians under Erkou City, you are here, fight a guerrilla, and then contact the troops led by the Wulianghai General Army, mobilize the army, or bite the defense line, or attack from the side, be sure to muddy the water here, don't worry about the army!" ”
"Huh!"
"Where is the Ministry of Labor!"
"The lower official is here."
"You command the craftsmen, go to the North Sea and do this, you must complete the construction within half a month! I will send you a thousand musketeers, a thousand cavalry, in case of Russian harassment! ”
"Yes!"
"Except for the 1,000 cavalry left in my headquarters, the rest of the cavalry will be given to you," Rong Lu said to Wu Yundi, "I don't need cavalry here, I'll give it to you, I'll keep the musketeers myself, and you go to Ulan-Ude," Rong Lu whispered a few words in Wu Yundi's ear, and Wu Yundi's eyes burst into light, "Listen to orders!" ”
"I'll rest here, and wait for the preparation time of the Ministry of Industry to be right," Rong Lu said solemnly, "Ulan-Ude, just hand it over to Lao Yang, it's naturally best to attack it, if you can't attack it, let's take care of it elsewhere, and then gather soldiers and horses, and join Ulan-Ude!" ”
"Huh!"
The orders of the army were spread one after another, countless horses were flying, the horns were whining, the flags were flying fiercely against the wind, Wu Yundi packed up the things in the tent, turned over and got on the horse, and several people in Mongolian costumes came over and stroked Wu Yundi's chest, "Lord Wu, we were ordered to follow the adults to crusade against the Russians, are we going to Ulan-Ude?" ”
Wu Yundi squinted his eyes and stared at the few Mongols who had just come up, "Yes, you and us, as a guide, will attack Ulan-Ude City, we are not familiar with the grassland, don't take the wrong way, delay the military aircraft, but you will cut off your head," Wu Yundi said slightly coldly, "Understand?" ”
"Yes, you will never dare, please rest assured," the Mongolian led by the leader of the Mongolian eyes flickered and wandered, "we must be good guides." ”
Wu Yundi waved his horsewhip and left proudly, and the remaining Mongolian leader looked at his entourage, which nodded and retreated.
Ma Deshan also led a small army to set off, he was originally born in the Hunan army, and studied in the lecture hall for many years, is a very stable person, leading the troops very cautiously, walking a zigzag route, if the spies come to report that there is a small group of enemy troops, they will go to attack, if there is a large army, they will make a detour, or a sneak attack at night, never a decisive battle, and not to speed up to the mouth of the city for the purpose, so there is no purpose, but let the Russian officers here scratch their heads.
"What do these yellow-skinned monkeys want to do?" Here is the third echelon colonel of the Governor of Western Siberia, Colonel Karkarov, he heard the soldiers' proclamation, a little depressed, just now, a small team was wiped out by the Chinese, in Siberia, what Russia lacks most is people, that is, the source of soldiers, although this is only less than ten dead people, but add up, such a blunt knife to cut the flesh of the personnel attrition, it is really too scary. Karkaroff presided over the garrison of the southern defense line of Erkou City, and his task was to prevent the Chinese from attacking Erkou City on the North Sea again, which is almost the favorite vacation place of the governor of Western Siberia, and it is also a tax collection town, and the Chinese are not allowed to disturb this place again, Kakarov's eyebrows furrowed, and his brown eyes stared at the map, "What do these Chinese want to do?" They want to mobilize us? Mobilize us to run around, and then they take the opportunity to break down the defenses? Dream. Karkarov stood up, "These greedy Chinese, always dissatisfied, soldiers, pass the order, except for the scouts patrolling the south, the other soldiers have withdrawn, we have built fortifications here, if they want to occupy the city of Erkou, they must pass through here, we will wait here, waiting for the Chinese to pounce in!" ”
"Yes!"
The general army of Wulianghai is the right-hand man under the account of Zuo Zongtang in the past, although he and Ma Deshan are not subordinate to each other, but in the end they are all Hunanese, after the rendezvous, they are very affectionate, and they speak directly, "Old Ma, I am in a difficult situation here, I originally wanted to go straight to Erkou, no matter whether I fought down or not, I always acted like this, but Lao Yangtou's reinforcements were defeated in Sol Mountain, I have too few people here, but I have faced the Russians a few times on the grassland, and the defense line is not passable, you are sent by Lord Ronglu, Knowing what he means, you see, what do we do next? ”
Here in Wulianghai, although there are soldiers, but they are not very good, the cavalry is not bad, but in the eyes of people like Ma Deshan, who came out of the martial arts hall, it is inevitable to lose their recklessness, and the mind is still the old practice, this is not worthy of the military attache from the martial arts hall as the commander can be transformed within a few months, Ma Deshan had to take this into account, he thought slowly, and said, "The task given to me by the marshal is to go to Erkou, but there is no time limit, just to let us keep an eye on the Russians, and the marshal must have a backhand, It's just that I don't know how to do it, but let's join forces, so let's go to the Russian line and try it out to see how the Russians are doing. If we can get through it, let's rush through it with all our might, and if not, let's make other plans. ”
"I'll listen to you." General Wulianghai nodded, "Although I don't have many elites here, there are a lot of Mongolian cavalry, and they are all under your command." (To be continued.) )
