evil slave

After briefing Liu De, He Manchuan, and Ma Long about the battle situation in Dujigensk, Zhao Qiang ordered Ma Long to lead the cavalry regiment to Dujigensk immediately. 【】He Manchuan's headquarters and the Cossack brigade also drove to Dujigensk after a half-day rest.At the same time, he ordered the military officer Guo Fei to immediately organize the delivery of logistics grain and grass, and it was necessary to ensure that the grain transported to Dujigensk could be eaten by the troops participating in the war for a month.He also ordered Wei Ji, who was far away in Yask, to quickly requisition another [-] young and strong people, including Han people, and organize them into four battalions and send them to Tugursk to supplement the loss of troops of the participating alliance at any time.

After the meeting, Ma Long led the Second Cavalry Regiment to Dujgensk. Zhao Qiang gave him orders not only to arrive at Dujgensk within two days, but also to cut off Dujgensk from the Russian stronghold in the Heilongjiang River Basin in the northwest. We must not let another Russian army enter Dujgensk.After Ma Long received the order, he patted his chest and issued a military order to the commander-in-chief, vowing that if a Raksha ghost sneaked into Dujgensk from under the nose of his Second Cavalry Regiment, he would wipe his own neck.

Two brigades of He Manchuan's 400rd Infantry Regiment were reorganized into garrison brigades, and now there are only five brigades in total, but one of the Han Army brigades has been replaced with firecrackers, and the second infantry regiment is equipped with firecrackers. It is barely possible to form another firecracker brigade, so that after the start of the battle, Zhao Qiang will have two firecracker brigades.Dujgensk originally had more than [-] defenders, plus the reinforcements that rushed into the city a few days ago, the number of musketeers reached [-]. Relying on two newly refitted musket brigades is definitely impossible to suppress the experienced Russian musketeers Yes, so Zhao Qiang didn't have much hope for how effective these two firecracker brigades would be. He just hoped that they would not be completely defeated when shooting against the Russian army.

In view of the fact that the Dugigensk garrison had eight artillery pieces and caused heavy casualties to the siege Second Infantry Regiment, Zhao Qiang ordered Guargeda in Udisk and Zhao De, Captain of the Tugursk Garrison Battalion, to let him two All the young and strong people of all ethnic groups in the two places were taken away, and all the people of all ethnic groups within a radius of [-] miles were taken to Dujigensk.Liu De was a little confused about this order, and didn't understand why the commander-in-chief wanted to conscript people of all ethnic groups to Dujigensk. Zhao Qiang's explanation for this was only two "cannon fodder".After Liu De heard this, he didn't speak for a long time, and then he raised his head and let out a long sigh. Then he drafted the order himself. In addition to asking the second place to arrest the people of all ethnic groups, the order also asked them to take the Luocha civilians in the city with them. .

"Whether it is an old man, a child, or a woman, all will be sent to Dujgensk to wait for orders. Anyone who resists and refuses to obey will be executed on the spot." This is the last sentence of Liu De's order.

The main force of the infantry set off in the early morning of September NO.20. Tugursk is located in the southeast of Dujgensk, more than 200 miles away from Dujgensk. According to the daily marching speed of [-] miles, it will take nearly four days to complete arrived.However, the battle reports and messengers sent by Zuo Mingnan said that the current situation of the Second Infantry Regiment was not optimistic.Liu De concluded from the analysis of the actions of the Russian army that the Russians in Dujgensk obviously wanted to wipe out the Second Infantry Regiment, but maybe they didn't have many reinforcements, so they tried to wipe out the Second Infantry Regiment in one fell swoop for the time being, so they He wanted to hold back the Second Infantry Regiment, waiting for more reinforcements to arrive.Calculating the time, it took two days for the courier to report quickly. Two days is definitely a long time for both sides of the war. During this time, no one knows what happened. It is very likely that the new Russian sent Reinforcements have reached Dugigensk.Therefore, the reinforcements must be dispatched without delay, without any delay on the road, and the marching speed must be increased, even more than eighty miles, ninety miles, or one hundred miles.

It was the first time that Zhao Qiang was faced with such a passive situation in such a long time in the north. Before, he always took the lead and beat the Russians by surprise, but now he has to be led by the Russians to fight them. But this crucial battle that will determine the future situation of the two sides will definitely break out, and it is better to fight it earlier than later.It doesn't matter if the Second Infantry Regiment loses two brigades, but the Russians must not allow the Second Infantry Regiment to be taken over by the Russians, otherwise it will deal a heavy blow to the morale of the entire Guanning Army.More importantly, if the Second Infantry Regiment was wiped out, Zhao Qiangshou's forces would only have one Third Infantry Regiment besides the two Cavalry Regiments.After removing the two brigades reorganized as garrison brigades, the third infantry regiment now has only five brigades with [-] troops. These [-] infantry will be the main force for the siege. Apart from this, Zhao Qiangshou has no other troops to use for siege operations. infantry.

Let the Cossack brigade also participate in the siege operation, which Zhao Qiang never thought about. If the battle goes well, the Cossack brigade will become a handy blade. The army will definitely become an unstable bomb, and no one can tell what they think at that time.For a long time, for these Russians, the Guan Ning Army existed like a god. They were unfavorable, never suffered a defeat, and never had an opponent who could stop their progress.It is precisely because of this that these Russians will be intimidated, will surrender, and will work for the Guan Ning Army. Once the myth of the Guan Ning Army's invincibility is shattered, Zhao Qiang absolutely believes that the Cossack brigade will still have those who were forcibly recruited. At that time, the soldiers of the Wu family will fall down one by one like dominoes. At that time, not only the ultimate goal of the Dingyuan battle will be aborted, but the entire Guanning army will also collapse. Zhao Qiang and his gang of Wu army brothers will once again fall into poverty and flee. dilemma.Therefore, Zhao Qiang ordered to block the news of the defeat of the Second Infantry Regiment. Except for himself, Liu De, He Manchuan, and Ma Long, no other officers knew about this situation. They only knew that the commander-in-chief would lead them to completely conquer Raksha People will drive the Raksha people out of this land forever, and the upcoming battle will be the last battle before winter.Whether you can get promoted and get rich, whether you can get more wealth, slaves, and land is the last battle.For those auxiliary soldiers, this battle is also related to whether they can become full-time soldiers before winter, otherwise, they will not get enough food during the long winter, and their families will suffer from hunger and oppression. , And worry about when I will be frozen to death.So for themselves and their loved ones, they must also fight bravely, and use their hard work to win respect and the chance to survive!

Dujgensk, no matter how many Russian troops there are, no matter how many people die, I will definitely take you down, and I will make the Russians never dare to touch my tiger's beard again!

"The fundamental purpose of this battle is to let the Raksha people sit down and negotiate with us!"

Zhao Qiang told Liu De his real plan during the march. The Battle of Dujigensk was indeed the last battle. He wanted to wipe out all the invading Russian troops and negotiate with the Russians with absolute superiority, because after the battle, the Guanning Army They will no longer confront the Rakshas, ​​their real enemy is the Manchus.The enemy's enemy is his friend, as long as it can benefit his own side, Zhao Qiang doesn't mind cooperating with the Russians, and he doesn't even mind signing a treaty with the Russians that will be very traitorous in later generations. For him, strength is the most important thing Yes, everything else is just a cover. If the Russians are willing to provide the Guanning Army with guns and ammunition, and all the war supplies that the Guanning Army urgently needs, even if they ask the Guanning Army to cede the entire Guanwai to Russia after going south, Zhao Qiang thinks I will agree without hesitation.It's just that whether they can obtain what the treaty requires depends on whether their blades are bright enough.

After hearing what Zhao Qiang said, Liu De's eyes lit up, and he sincerely praised: "You are handsome!"
