Father Mavie

Chapter 203 I am with the soldiers (please subscribe!!!)

In the early hours of the morning, the sound of wheels broke the tranquility of the night. Two horses drove into the city with a four-wheeled carriage and arrived in front of the Znamensky Cathedral in the central district. The soldiers driving stopped and looked at the Sleeping or restless refugees gathered on both sides of the street raised their hands and knocked on the gate.

dong dong!

squeak
The door of the church opened a gap, revealing a gloomy face. The butler Liseld stood at the door holding a kerosene lamp, looked at the soldier who knocked on the door, and asked in a low voice, "What do you want?"

"I am following the order of Her Majesty Katerina to take Father Mawei out of the city." The soldier replied.

"Hold on."

After closing the door, the butler Lisard passed the refugees who were resting in the church, walked upstairs quickly, and knocked on the door of the bedroom.

The Znamensky Cathedral was in ruins before, but the housekeeper Lisolde had someone clean it thoroughly, so there was no dust, and it could be used with a few sets of tables and chairs. As for the mattress issue, Mavi was not picky either. As long as there is a quilt to keep out the cold at night, it is enough.

He has slept on no matter how hard the bed board is.

The knock on the door woke up Ma Wei who was sleeping soundly. He sat up, rubbed his swollen temples, took out his pocket watch to check the time, and found that it was after 4 o'clock in the morning. He immediately changed his clothes and went to the next door to pick up his sleeping Junia, in a carriage, headed towards the camp outside the city.

Edward also followed. It didn't seem to need to sleep. It hung upside down on the ceiling and closed its eyes to rest. When it heard the movement in the corridor, it immediately opened its eyes.

"Don't call Levin?" Edward glanced at Junia, who was sleeping soundly in Mawei's arms, and asked, "If he is here, there will be an extra layer of protection."

"It is enough to have the Siren's Tears. The fat orange and little black have not returned yet, so the church must keep people."

Ma Wei yawned, some did not wake up, he only rested for less than four hours, and had a dream during the period.There was darkness in the dream, he couldn't see anything, he couldn't hear any sound, he couldn't even move, as if he was bound by something.

This dream caused his body to be sore and stiff when he got up... It may have something to do with sleeping on the hard bed, Ma Wei thought so.

As dawn approached, the night reached its darkest moment, and it was pitch black outside the city, only the campsites in the distance were flickering with lights in twos and threes.

The 15th and 19th Cavalry Regiments have been assembled. These brave Cossacks wear heavy green coats, black cloaks, cavalry long knives and revolver pistols ready to go. style rifle.

As one of the most elite cavalrymen on this continent, they have experienced the baptism of the battlefield, their eyes are sharp, and the traces of spirits remain under their bold and unrestrained beards.Commanders Onufri and Raffle walked out of the command post behind Katerina, got on their horses, and waited quietly for orders.

"Father Mawei, we are going to start from the west path, bypass the frozen river, and attack the command post of the Second Army Group stationed in the village from the flank. The main task this time is to harass, create chaos, and lure snakes out of their holes." Linna asked some horses to be brought in, and briefly introduced the battle plan: "When the first army group starts to send reinforcements, then attack the first army station at the fastest speed, blow up the railway there, and make the first army It is impossible for all the army groups to reach Tyumen."

"Blowing up the railway is the main task, right? Everything else is a feint."

"Yes."

Ma Wei nodded, expressing his understanding, looked at Katerina who was wearing a military uniform and got on her horse, and couldn't help frowning: "You want to participate in the attack too?"

Katerina put on her military cap, took the long knife from the personal maid and inserted it into her waist, pulled out the magazine of the revolver to check, and said expressionlessly, "I am with the soldiers."

Under Ma Wei's slightly surprised gaze, she commanded two cavalry regiments with a total of nearly 1 people and began to march.The dense and dull sound of horseshoes woke up Junia, who was sleeping soundly in Mawei's arms. She rubbed her sleepy eyes, poked her head out timidly, and looked at the solemn soldiers around her, shrinking her neck in the cold wind.

"Dad." She whispered, "Is this going to war?"

"Well, it's just harassment before the battle, not the general attack."

Ma Wei swung the reins, passed the marching soldiers, and came to Katerina at the front, "Our mission today is to assist Her Highness Katerina in destroying the troop railway."

Junia was not afraid at all, she just felt a little cold, a big cold wave was coming towards Tyumen City, and it was about to enter a winter of ice and snow, and the temperature dropped again and again.

At 5:30 in the morning, the cavalry regiment turned over a hillside and saw a village with bright lights in the distance.

There, there are no villagers at the moment, and it is occupied by the Second Army. The terrain is flat, it is located on the upper reaches of the Tobol River, and the water source is sufficient. It is a good place to station.

The commander of the Second Army, Marquis James, was a professionally trained general. He dispersed 50 regiments in batches and stationed them around the Tobol River, completely covering the west side of Tyumen City. If a situation arises on either side, other corps can quickly support it.

but.
Although he had undergone professional military training, he still made a common-sense mistake when facing the cold winter of the Romanov Kingdom.

The Marquis James seemed unaware of how cold the Romanov Kingdom was in winter. He subconsciously thought that the river could be a line of defense to stop the enemy cavalry from charging, but in fact, the thick ice on the river in the Romanov Kingdom in winter could completely Support the weight of the cavalry regiment.

At the end of December, a severe cold wave came, and the river was completely frozen. Even a pickaxe could not cut through the hard ice.

This is the fighter Katerina chose.

She took advantage of the night to bypass the blockade of other regiments, and quietly came to the flank of the village along the ice, where
It was the location of the command post of the Second Army.

Katerina stepped forward, her cold eyes swept over the Cossack cavalry who were waiting in full battle under the night, and she said loudly: "Everyone, we have been waiting for this battle for a whole month! The soldiers of the Kingdom of Windsor invaded with their advanced weapons. Our homeland, trampling our farmland, bullying our people! Now that I am back, the time for revenge has come! You are not fighting for me, but for the Kingdom of Romanov, for your family, for the people in the distant Wives and children waiting for your return by the Don River! Whoever wants to take away our land and our happiness must step over our corpses!"

She drew out her long knife and pointed high at the sky: "Follow me and defeat the invading enemy! Ula!"

"Ula!!!"

The horseshoes shook the ground, the cloak fluttered behind him, and the flag of the Romanov Kingdom fluttered in the wind. This army, like a black torrent, rushed down the hillside and crossed the frozen river. The Second Army launched a charge.
