Chapter 1455 Kicks off the prelude to the West Expedition
The Mongol rebellion in the Volga River Basin was undoubtedly a strong knife inserted into the heart of the Tsarist Russian Empire.
In either case, Tsarist Russia needs to quell the rebellion of the Mongols.
However, these two situations are easier to deal with, and the other is a serious crisis.
At this time, Alishak could only think about the worst and make plans for him to be fucked.
That damn Emperor Gan Chao was such a cunning fox. He might have never thought about peace talks from the beginning, and both I and Rykov were deceived by him.
Now Alexek has figured it out that the situation is not optimistic.
There is no doubt that the rebellion and ambush were carefully planned, and the peace talks may have been smoke bombs at the beginning.
Thinking of this, the Tsar had realized the seriousness of the matter, so he couldn't help but get angry and gritted his teeth, saying, "I must make the worst plan. Now I will immediately send an ambassador to Poland and Sweden to request the two countries to prepare for reinforcements. Marshal Mendotev, who was mailing the defense line of the Ural River, must defend the defense line and pay attention to the movements of the people on the east bank!"
"Yes!" The Tsar's secretary immediately took the order and went to draft the order.
Alexek said hatredly: "It's a delusional idea that damn kids think that inciting the Mongols can force me to surrender. And those Mongols who don't know how to rebel at such a close distance from Moscow, and they don't take the empire seriously. I want to organize an army to encircle and suppress it immediately!"
After obeying the orders of the Tsar, everyone had no objection to the emperor's arrangements. No matter what, they had to destroy the Mongol rebels first.
Seeing that everyone was not opposed, the Tsar shouted loudly, "The Mongols rushed to rebel under my nose and sent orders the imperial guards to send Saratov!"
Alexek issued an order, and the imperial guards in Moscow City immediately dispatched and marched southward in a mighty manner.
...
In the lower reaches of the Volga River, more than 10,000 Russian troops were ambushed, and more than 5,000 were captured by the Mongols, and less than 5,000 were left. They were divided into several pieces and still resisted stubbornly.
At this time, the Russian army, who had been divided, built ring fortifications on the Volga River, and then used firearms and artillery to resist.
Under the command of Dorgon, the Mongols concentrated artillery and attacked the divided Russian troops one by one.
Dorgon underestimated the difficulty of the Mongols using infantry and cannon coordination tactics. On the sixth day of the battle, there were still two Russian positions that were not allowed to come down.
These two positions, one was led by Major General Kastov, led two thousand people to defend, and the other was led by a major, led more than five hundred people.
At this time, the Mongolians bombarded the Russian positions with captured Russian guns and their own cast of bowl guns.
While the shelling was being bombarded, Mongolian soldiers carried shields and scimitars and launched a tsunami-like charge towards the Russian positions.
The six-day battle has consumed all the Russian army's ammunition, and the Russian army can only use bayonets to fight with the Mongolians.
After losing the advantage of firearms, the Mongols rushed to the position, slashed the sword and harvested the heads of Tsarist Russian soldiers.
Kastov led his subordinates to fight to the death, but his position was soon overwhelmed by the Mongols.
Soon, to the north of the main position, all five hundred Russian troops were killed in battle, and more Mongolians rushed to Kastov's position.
For a moment, the atmosphere of despair spread. Russian soldiers were chopped over one after another, and more than a thousand people were driven to the riverside. They were about to be driven down the river. At this moment, a whistle sound came from a distance.
When Ayuqi, who was commanding the attack, his expression immediately changed when he heard this. He raised his head and looked north. It was the Russian reinforcements who came.
"Protector! It is the horn of the Cossack cavalry, and the reinforcements of the Russian army have arrived!" Ayuqi reminded him urgently.
Dorgon picked up the telescope and looked north. In the camera, there were dense cavalrymen, and thousands of cavalry rushed over. The sabers in their hands were very dazzling.
Dorgon knew that Tsarist Russian troops were mobilized by the Mongol uprising.
Now he can say that he has completed the task assigned by Gao Huan, and it will be up to when the Alliance Army will come to save him.
Dorgon knew a little more than a dozen times that the Mongols were far weaker than the Russian army, so he put down his telescope and decisively ordered: "Retreat immediately!"
Ayuqi glanced at the Mongolian army that had already rushed into the Russian position, and couldn't help but stomped his feet in anger, "Retreat!"
Under the banner of the Great Crown, soldiers took the horn from their waists and blew it up. The sharp horn echoed on both sides of the Volga River.
When the Mongols who were attacking the Russian army heard the sound of the horn, they immediately gave up the attack, and all left behind the Russian army and retreated southward.
Dorgon and Ayuqi also turned on their horses and retreated to the south surrounded by a large group of Mongolians.
As soon as the Mongols left, the Cossack cavalry rushed to the battlefield. They looked at the Mongols who were leaving and ignored the Russian army that stood firm, but directly pursued the Mongols.
For a moment, in the wilderness, the Mongols were galloping in front, and more than 10,000 Cossack cavalry chased afterwards, and a life-and-death battle was about to break out.
On the third day of March, it is sunny.
On the east bank of the Ural River, allied troops gathered.
Gao Huan, the great emperor of the China Alliance, stood on the tower and looked out over the other side of the river.
Tsarist Russia is a great empire with a great strategic depth. Even if you don’t fight, it takes a certain amount of time to march through Tsarist Russia’s territory.
The current Tsarist Russian territory is not as terrifying as later generations, but it is undoubtedly the top-ranked existence.
The vast territory and the long winter make it difficult to conquer this land.
At this time, the weather is getting warmer and it is already the window period for sending troops. If you miss this period, you have to wait another year.
After more than half a year of preparation, the alliance completed the assembly, and the grain, military funds and even winter clothes were piled up in the warehouse. Just waiting for Gao Huan's order, he immediately launched a blitzkrieg.
However, Gao Huan was still waiting for news from Dorgon at this time.
After all, many strong men in history have failed to become a sandy place under the city of Moscow.
Gao Huan thought he was more powerful, but when he saw the Emperor Na and the Head of State who swept across Europe ended in failure, he was still somewhat worried about the success or failure of this Western Expedition.
"Your Majesty! Is there something wrong with Dorgon?" Zhang Huangyan said worriedly.
Dorgon had been invading into Tsarist Russia for a long time. According to the plan formulated by the General Staff, the coalition forces will launch a fierce attack on the Russian Ural defense line after the Mongols in the lower reaches of the Volga River.
Seeing that it was time to send troops, there was no new news in the direction of the Ural River, which made several soldiers feel a little worried.
Is this Dorgon’s failure, or is it that Tsarist Russia has seen through the intention of the alliance?
Gao Huan was also a little worried. He looked at the army gathered in the camp and said in a deep voice: "The arrow is on the string, I have to fire it! Wait for another day, even if there is no news, I will order to launch a general attack!"
"Your Majesty!" At this moment, Yang Yan appeared downstairs and shouted loudly.
Gao Huan looked down and saw Yang Yan climbing up quickly. Without saying much, he climbed up the tower with a little excited expression.
Seeing this, Gao Huan moved his heart and asked, "Where is there any news about Dorgon?"
"Report to Your Majesty, I have it!" Yang Yan climbed up, without even taking a breath, and said hurriedly: "The Mongols in the lower reaches of the Volga River have launched an uprising and ambushed nearly 10,000 Russian troops!
Gao Huan raised his eyebrows and slapped the guardrail, shouting happily, "Okay! The command of the army to prepare to launch an attack. The alliance will win this battle!"
Chapter completed!
