Qianlong: Qing Dynasty?What about my Daqing?

Sumarokov is pessimistic.

He felt that he was going to die on the battlefield today.

It doesn't matter if he dies, the expansion of the Russian Empire for more than 100 years will also be destroyed.

Obviously, Russia is going to lose.

Tonight, tomorrow at the latest will lose.

Not only has this war been lost, but the future may also be lost.

And there is no way to recover it.

As far as this war is concerned.

The Russian army is basically infantry, while the Ming army on the opposite side is all mounted infantry. In fact, most of them are warriors from nomadic tribes who are good at riding.

Therefore, if you lose, you can't even run.

So what if he ran away?

In terms of changes in this era.

To the west of Russia is a group of European countries with stronger industrial capabilities and more civilized than theirs, and to the east is the dauntingly huge Ming Empire.

Russia is caught in the middle, where does it go from here?

Sumarokov took back his divergent thinking.

He doesn't know what the future will hold, so he can only talk about it first.

The Russian trenches were full of Russian soldiers and officers with the same serious expressions as Sumarokov.

They all know the strength of today's opponent.

And the opponent is about to launch a general attack.

Many people are anxious, and many deserters have begun to appear in the past two days.

The slogans and chants of the Ming army's infantry charge have become the nightmare of many Russian soldiers.

Sumarokov estimated that tonight is likely to be the time for the decisive battle.

Hurry up and make final preparations in the trenches.

Some are resting with squinted eyes.

Some were drinking water, some were eating black bread, some were cleaning their weapons, and more people were praying to God.

The Orthodox priest accompanying the army is sprinkling holy water on the soldiers.

"God bless you both."

said the pastor.

"May God bless Russia."

A few drops of water were sprinkled on Sumarokov's face.

I thought to myself.

He walked across the trench, and soldiers and officers stood up and saluted.

"Good job, boys! If they dare to attack, we will show them the prowess of the bayonets of the Russian warriors!"

Sumarokov spoke beautiful words that he didn't quite believe.

He still looked calm on his face, but inside he was very anxious.

"We are invincible!"

Fanaticism appeared in the eyes of the soldiers whose bodies were stained with the legendary holy water.

The fear of the Ming army can only be alleviated through this religious method.

In fact, until now, there is such a priest configuration in the Russian army.

But I don't know if it works well or not.

Anyway, on the surface now, the morale of the Russian soldiers is pretty good.

Sumarokov looked forward with his eyes. In the front position, engineers of the Ming army were reinforcing the bunker.

Those bunkers, if nothing else happened, would become the forward bases of the Ming army's first assault group!
Yang Yuchun and Chen Dewang also came to the front line to inspect the troops at this time.

Surrounded by guards, two generals with two generals on their shoulders walked through every reinforced bunker.

Chen Dewang patted Jin Biao's shoulder and said loudly: "Good job, squad leader! I saw your bravery today! Tonight I will give the Rakshasa ghost a hard time! The emperor and the people are watching us! We must not let the emperor down Holy Grace, let me live up to the expectations of the Chinese people!"

Jin Biao stood up and saluted with a snap.

Although he was born in the Eight Banners.

But there are tens of acres of paddy fields and the future of hidden descendants.

It is better to be a father and a mother now than to kiss a son tomorrow.

"Chief of Staff! My Gold Label will never disgrace the honor of a soldier!"

Other soldiers also expressed that they would fight hard and die generously.

Yang Yuchun and Chen Dewang were also very excited.

Although there are not many people dispatched in this battle.

But considering that this is a fierce battle with tens of thousands of troops dragging thousands of miles of supply lines.

It was able to dispatch tens of thousands of troops by the Syr Darya River, and it was basically regarded as the West Expedition Army that was not much different from the regular army of the Ming Army.

In history, no regime in the Central Plains has ever done this—the Tang Dynasty once established the Protectorate in the Western Regions and Central Asia.

But at that time Datang made more use of the local servant army.

It is really necessary to dispatch tens of thousands of government soldiers from Guanzhong to fight on the banks of the Syr Darya.

The logistical supplies alone can drag Ju Tang down!
It can be said that such an expedition was really the first time they had experienced it under the Han regime.

At this time, a simple front-line command post has been established relying on the bunkers built by the Ming army on the front line.

The staff hung up maps and lit oil lamps in a half-buried anti-battery pit.

The messengers are also on standby at any time, and at the same time a hot air balloon is also raised, which can convey some battle information through the color of the flag on the hot air balloon.

"The [-]st Dragoon Brigade and the [-]th Dragoon Brigade have already made preparations and have arrived at their predetermined positions. Li Sheng, the brigade commander of the [-]st Dragoon Brigade in charge, is also mobilizing before the battle! Commander, staff officer Sir, what else do you have to say?"

Yang Yuchun nodded when he heard the words, and turned to look at Chen Dewang beside him: "Is this the first time in the world?"

Chen Dewang nodded: "This is a style of play developed by the staff officers of the Grand Marshal's Mansion in Zhongdu and the professors of the Army Military Academy, based on the characteristics of breech-loading guns, grenades, barbed wire, trenches, and howitzers. , Although the effectiveness of this tactic has been proved after several exercises, it is the first time that it has been used in actual combat."

Yang Yuchun nodded.

Climb to the battlefield.

This was unimaginable before.

It's not about dignity or lack of dignity.

After all, as early as the Warring States Period, the Chinese battlefield had already begun to be a bit unscrupulous.

As long as he can win, all kinds of conspiracies and tricks emerge in endlessly. Those who abide by the rules of war like Song Xianggong have been ridiculed for being pedantic and laughed at for thousands of years.

Mainly because.

After the soldier lay on the ground.

You can't tell if he's faking death or really dead.

According to the pissing behavior of the former Qingqing soldiers, if you allow them to lie on the ground and crawl over the battlefield, I am afraid that if the opposite side shoots a gun, a large number of them will lie still and pretend to be dead.

And it's not easy to restrain the troops when lying on their stomachs - the former Qing Dynasty did not have a complete officer training system and non-commissioned officer system like the current Ming Army.

You can rely on an excellent squad leader like Jinbiao to control the troops.

So crawl over to fight, so far, probably not many armies in the world can do it.

"Repeat the battle plan!"

Yang Yuchun said.

Of course he knew the battle plan, this was just the last confirmation before the battle.

"Three and 10 minutes of artillery preparation, 130 three-inch howitzers were put in, and they bombarded the front of the Russian army with all their strength, covering the first wave of [-] infantry crawling forward, and pounced on the first barbed wire fence of the Russian army!"
