Qianlong: Qing Dynasty?What about my Daqing?

Chapter 275 It's over, the commander of the Ming army is too young!
Regardless of whether the war between Ming and Russia will last for hundreds of years.

At least for now, tens of thousands of troops from both sides have launched a fierce chase on the Mobei prairie and the Gobi.

After Chen Dewang decided to divide his troops.

Sure enough, the Russian army immediately turned around and headed north, preparing to fight with a brigade of the Ming army who stayed behind.

Concentrate your forces and attack the opponent's partial division.

This is the book of war and the basic principle of war in any country.

When the Russian army began to turn around.

Their tracks are no longer hidden!

But Chen Dewang's main force is thousands of miles away from them.

Even if the horse ran to death, it would take at least three days to catch up.

Three days.

In Chen Liansheng's right brigade of the former army, 2 soldiers need to bite the [-] Russian army for at least three days-with the firepower density of the Ming army, if the mere [-] Russian army attacked by force, it would be impossible to bleed dry The position of the Ming army was shaken.

But if they are going to run.

There was no way for the five thousand Ming army to surround them and leave them behind.

under the sky.

The gray Gobi desert and the dark green prairie are intertwined, as if the two worlds collided indiscriminately, forming a fragmented confluence zone at the edge.

The vast expanse of grassland.

The wind blows the grass.

No cattle or sheep.

Only the whistling wind.

It seems that the whole world is threatened by this wildness.

"Master Brigadier! Twenty thousand Russian troops are now stationed thirty miles away! If nothing happens, our main force is thousands of miles away. I'm afraid we won't be able to catch up with the battlefield for a while!"

Fan Baoyi, who was standing beside Chen Liansheng, said.

And the other side.

Fukang'an was also sitting on the horse. As one of the officials left behind, Fukang'an had rich experience in battle and seemed to want to make progress, so he had a lot of exchanges with Chen Liansheng during this period.

"If there are no accidents, the Raksha ghosts will launch an attack tonight, most likely in the early morning, taking advantage of the night to sneak in. They have a large number of soldiers, and they can attack at a very short distance with the help of pasture cover!!" Fu Kang An analyzed.

"This is a tough battle. Five thousand is fighting twenty thousand. Let the subordinates take time to rest, tie up the barbed wire, and build the camp tighter. If they want to come to die, then come!" Chen Liansheng sneered. Said.

"Is that the military stronghold of the Ming army?"

Holding up binoculars to observe the defensive positions of the former Right Brigade are Russian Empire Crown Prince Paul, Army General Repnin, and Army Lieutenant General Mikhail.

Mikhail is now reused again.

His previous warnings are no longer seen as "cowardly".

In addition, this army general who can be said to be the most familiar with the combat methods of the Ming army in the entire Russian army, it is reasonable to say that he is being reused again now.

"That's barbed wire. With barbed wire and trenches, as well as various bombardment guns and rifled guns, the defensive position composed of such a defensive position cannot be broken even if our strength is doubled! The opponent can easily use rifled guns from two to three hundred steps away. The gun makes a precise shot!"

After seeing the Ming army on the opposite side pull up barbed wire and dig trenches.

Mikhail shook his head and said.

"Then what should we do now?" Crown Prince Paul frowned.

Admiral Repnin also showed suspicion on his face.

"Can't break through twice as many? This looks like a thin two-layer barbed wire fence, and it will be broken when the horse rushes!" Repnin's tone was somewhat suspicious.

Mikhail looked at General Repnin.

Before I saw the mountain of corpses and the sea of ​​blood in front of the barbed wire with my own eyes.

His thoughts are the same as his.

"Admiral, are you going to let the soldiers under your command prove it with their lives?" Mikhail said coldly, "We only have [-] soldiers. If they are wasted here, the whole of Siberia will belong to the Chinese."

"I once saw with my own eyes on the battlefield in Manchuria that tens of thousands of cavalry broke through two barbed wire fences, and the price paid was... tens of thousands of casualties! And even if they broke through, so what? We still have to face [-] rifles Gun shooting, facing a large number of mortars, howitzers, and hand grenades from the Ming army.”

Mikhail shook his head and said.

"So, we have little confidence in storming such a camp, and we can't bleed here!"

"Then what should we do?" Crown Prince Paul frowned.

"Return to Irkutsk!" Mikhail said.

"Go back? Just go back like this?" The crown prince looked unwilling.

"That's right, just go back!" Mikhail said, "Isn't the purpose of the Chinese taking the initiative to divide their troops is to let us attack their partial divisions? The reason why they did this is definitely to destroy the [-] troops we have on hand." Yes, so... we can't let them succeed, if I were the commander of the Ming army, I would definitely not just watch the [-] troops shrink back to the castles of Irkutsk!!"

"They will definitely pursue!" said Repnin.

"And if you chase them, you can't carry these things." Mikhail pointed at those barbed wire fences!

"Luring the enemy?" Crown Prince Paul was thoughtful.

"That's right! Let's go tonight!"

Fukang'an miscalculated again.

When he was the commander-in-chief of the Qing army, he often miscalculated.

Now this time the opponent has become the Russian army.

He also miscalculated.

The Russians didn't want to gnaw at the iron wire array of the Ming army at all.

and so.

When the sentinel reported the next day.

Thirty miles away, the Russian army had already left Zhaikong.

Chen Liansheng's face changed drastically.

Almost jumped out of his seat.

"What? Gone? Where did you go!?"

"Judging from the traces, it's heading north, maybe... maybe returning to Irkutsk!!"

"Damn it, Rakshasa ghost wants to run!" Chen Liansheng was ready to make the Russians bleed in rivers in front of the prepared position.

As a result, they ran away directly!
This caught Chen Liansheng a little by surprise-this is normal, the generals of the Ming army used their superior equipment to bully the Qing army.

He has never fought against such a real opponent with rich combat experience.

In terms of war experience and flexibility of military command, it is simply not comparable to veteran generals like Repnin and Mikhail who have participated in many Russian-Turkish wars and wars in Western Europe.

Chen Liansheng paced back and forth a few steps.

"The Raksha ghost is going back to Irkutsk! He wants to use Irkutsk's bastion to fight against our army! If so, this battle may take a year or two!"

Chen Liansheng took a deep breath.

Now he has to make a decision.

Chase
Or let the Russian army return.

If they were to pursue, five thousand soldiers and horses would pursue the [-] Russian army without carrying much luggage and heavy artillery.

It's really an adventure!
But what young generals like Chen Liansheng lack most is the spirit of adventure.

It didn't take long for him to make a decision.

"Order the whole army! Immediately set out to pursue!"

Chen Liansheng said loudly.

"Even if you run the horse to death! You must catch up with these Rakshasa ghosts!!!"

"The Chinese are now in pursuit!"

A smile appeared on Mikhail's face when he got the news.

"It seems that the commander of our opponent is a guy who is not very cautious. We may be able to win a big victory!"

"Where are we waiting for them?" Repnin spread out a map in his hand.

"It's right here!" Mikhail pointed to the Selenga River on the map, which was at a location on the Sino-Russian border.

"Chakta"

Repnin looked here.

"This place is rich in water and grass, we can rest here for a day or two, let the horses rest on the pasture, and the Chinese are chasing after them, and their horses may not be able to fight immediately!"

Mikhail said.

"On the grassland...the Chinese who can't fight on horseback, what do we have to be afraid of?"
