Chapter 850: Khmelnitsky is in pain
The conscience of heaven and earth, Amin really didn't think about retreating, let alone avoiding Khmelnitsky's Cossack cavalry, the fundamental reason for this situation is still Meng Xianglin and Wan Yanli's two guys.
In order to avoid the positive blue flag and inlaid blue flag they carried, and in order to be able to catch more living barbarians, these two guys chose to go deep alone and ran more than 300 miles to the northwest.
After discovering the Cossack army led by Khmelnitsky, Meng Xianglin and Wan Yanli carefully compared it and found that they couldn't beat others on their side, so they immediately ran away with the laborers and ran behind the army.
The distance was hundreds of miles, and Alkimir did not dare to run too far with a team of 1,000 people, so in the end, it created the illusion that the Ming army had disappeared.
Khmelnitsky did not intend to give up like this, after all, the land here still belongs to Tsarist Russia, regardless of whether he has the responsibility to defend the land or not, just let a group of Ming cavalry come and go freely here and catch civilians as slaves by the way, this Cossack's face is not bright.
Khmelnitsky did not dare and did not want to run away, and even if he had the idea of running away, Alkimir did not dare to show it, so he could only search back and forth with a team of 1,000 men.
Whether it is said that the emperor lives up to his painstaking efforts, or whether it is said that Amin did it on purpose, anyway, after searching for almost half a month, Alkimir really let him discover the shadow of the Ming army.
Of course, this shadow was in the territory of Tsarist Russia, and strictly speaking, Emperor Chongzhen and Amin and the horses once again played the role of righteous hanging.
Then, the two sides stared at each other.
Amin and a group of killers set up a formation early and waited for the Cossack cavalry led by Khmelnitsky to collide headlong, while Khmelnitsky led the Cossack cavalry to cruise far away, but did not rush into battle.
The Ming army swung there, and those stupid black and thick barrels pointed diagonally to the sky, and Khmelnitsky, even if he was stupid, could not directly rush up with the cavalry, but just took the Cossacks to swing around and then swing around.
Khmelnitsky thought very openly, the ten integrated Assak cavalry regiments under his command were fifty or sixty thousand people at full strength, which was still seriously overnumbered, and if he wanted to kill the Ming army of more than 10,000 people on the opposite side, even if he could win, he would suffer heavy losses.
Although the Cossack cavalry is brave and invincible, it can't be so scourge, right?
The best way is to delay, until the logistics of the Ming army can no longer hold on, they will inevitably retreat, this time is the best time for the Cossacks to attack - as long as the troops are withdrawn on a large scale, it is easy to be chaotic.
Even if the supply team of the Ming Dynasty is really powerful, it can send supplies over such a long distance, but the ten cavalry regiments in his hands are not dry, and they can completely attack the logistics supply of the Ming army.
Amin was not in a hurry, Khmelnitsky was dangling around, so he set up a strict formation, and after Khmelnitsky retreated far away, he pushed forward for a few miles.
Anyway, it was a step by step, and they didn't even care about the problem of logistics and supplies at all, and the Cossacks were willing to delay, so they would spend it with them, it was nothing more than a matter of one day earlier and one day later.
The supply system of the Ming Dynasty was not very good before, but after more than 20 years of development, there has already been a set of mature plans, although the army that escorts the supply of materials is not the first-level combat reserve guards, but the second-level reserve guards may not be good for the Cossack cavalry.
On the other hand, the situation on the Cossacks' side, just the information learned during this period of time is enough for Amin to make a certain judgment on them - the logistics supply is basically zero, and even the civilians of their own country are not spared, these Cossacks are completely a pack of wolves!
In this case, no matter how much the Cossack cavalry dragged on and tried to attack the logistics supply line of the Ming Dynasty, Amin was unlikely to take it to heart.
The only thing that gave Amin a headache was how to get these Cossack cavalry to take the initiative to attack,
The original plan was to do it directly with the cavalry, but after actually meeting the Cossack cavalry, Amin felt the need to change his routine.
After all, those Cossack cavalry were not too bad, and they were outnumbered, and their own side had the advantage of firearms but suffered in numbers, which should be regarded as a five-to-five situation.
So after a few days of headaches, Amin still summoned a group of killers under him, as well as Meng Xianglin and Wan Yanli.
Then Wan Yanli put forward his own opinion: "Otherwise, let's lead the snake out of the hole, deliberately sell a few flaws to them, and lure the barbarians to take the initiative to attack?" ”
Meng Xianglin said with a smile: "Have you watched too much of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms"? Why don't you say that you are an empty city, why else lure the snake out of the hole? Isn't that!
Don't forget, in the face of more than 50,000 cavalry, not 50,000 dogs, even if it is replaced by more than 50,000 dogs, it will not be so easy to kill you. ”
After scratching his head, Meng Xianglin spoke: "Then you have a good way to come out?" Now in this situation, those barbarian cavalry have made it clear that they will not confront us head-on, and you still want to lead them to take the initiative to attack?
Besides, Zhuge Liang dared to empty the city because he knew Sima Yi, do you know the leader of the barbarian cavalry? Will he take the initiative to attack? Anyway, the performance of the past few days has proved that this guy is by no means a reckless person, and the consequence is that it is likely to scare them away.
What's even more fucked up is, if something goes wrong in the middle of the environment, who will be responsible for causing a big mess at that time? It's you? Or is it Amin's commanding envoy? ”
Amin waved his hand and said: "Judging from the current information, Khmelnitsky is not a person who is too reckless, but he is moody, and ordinary people really can't guess what he is thinking." ”
Pointing behind the screen, Amin continued: "Actually, there is a lot of information about Khmelnitsky as a person, but his moody nature is so annoying that there is no clear conclusion yet.
Just now, Wan Yan said that he would sell them a flaw directly, in case he was not fooled or did not act according to the tactics we predicted, then there might really be a big mess. ”
After being silent for a long time, Meng Xianglin spoke: "Otherwise, Wanyan and I will take a part of the cavalry to be bait?" Those barbarian cavalrymen probably already hate me and Lao Wan, as soon as the two of us appear, can the barbarians still endure it? ”
Amin said, "What if you hold back?" ”
Meng Xianglin said: "In case they endure it, then it's nothing, we just need to go around with one mind, it is estimated that they will have nothing to do with us, but if they can't help it, then the opportunity will come?" ”
Amin shook his head and said, "That's not going to work out." You are different from the old man, the old man is the general of the Ming Dynasty, and you can only be regarded as a reserve in the reserve, and you are not on the roster of the Ming army at all, which is equivalent to ordinary people.
The Ming army is not dead yet, and no one will agree to let you run out as bait, otherwise there will be no way to explain to Your Majesty and the people of the world.
Therefore, you still honestly stay behind the blue flag, if there is a fight, you can go to harvest the heads for military merits, or catch the barbarians for rewards, as for rushing out as bait, forget it. ”
Seeing Amin say this, Meng Xianglin and Wan Yanli suddenly had no tricks, so they could only pull their hair together and think of another way - but after thinking about it for a long time, Meng Xianglin and Wan Yanli didn't come up with any good solutions.
The best way at the moment is for Meng Xianglin and Wan Yanli to take some horses out and hang around again, and direct the attention of those barbarian cavalry to the Ming army, otherwise there is really no good way.
Then the next day, Amin received a terrible piece of news.
Meng Xianglin and Wan Yanli privately took their horses to prepare to go out for a swing to see if they could lure the barbarian cavalry over.
Then, Amin, who had a black face, reprimanded the two.
Fortunately, this is the land of Tsarist Russia, and the killers of the blue flag and the blue flag have arranged the formation more strictly, and Meng Xianglin and Wan Yanli's team is within the protective circle of the blue flag, so they didn't let the two run out with the horses.
This is not the Ming Dynasty, the Ming army has no relatives here, it is completely a black eye, in case something really goes wrong, it is estimated that the final headache will have to be Amin himself.
If it were replaced in Daming, Meng Xianglin and Wan Yanli, the two bastards and the killers under them, as long as they could get a guide, they would go wherever they wanted, and the blue flag and the blue flag would not have to spare their energy to care about their life and death.
After all, there is no regular army, and even if there is something really wrong with these two killers and their subordinate Ma Zai, it will be a headache for the local government, and it is not Amin's turn to worry about it.
After being silent for a long time, Amin spoke: "If it really doesn't work, just follow what Wanyan said, deliberately sell some flaws to those barbarian cavalry, and prepare in advance."
Or, let's just build a city here, they take a step back, and we will build a city, which can not only force the barbarians to retreat again, but also use it when they immigrate to the real side in the future, which can be described as killing two birds with one stone? ”
Meng Xianglin and Wan Yanli had no choice but to nod impatiently, indicating that they should go.
There is no way, if the barbarian cavalry does not take the initiative to rush up, the army of the Ming Dynasty can only drag on day by day, and when the time comes, the household department and the military department and the five armies will inevitably jump to scold the mother.
Not afraid of the barbarian cavalry to attack and disturb the logistics supply line, it does not mean that the materials are already rich to the point of wasting them at will and not distressed, after all, the leader of the household department is from the previous household secretary Guo Yunhou to the current household secretary Wu Ganlai, these two are old picks!
After thinking about it, Meng Xianglin said, "If we want to build a city, will those laborers in our hands come in handy?" ”
Wan Yanli shook his head and said, "I think it's better to sell a flaw to them to see if you build a city."
Not to mention the barbarian cavalry, just transporting the materials needed to build the city from the Ming Dynasty is a big trouble.
The most important thing is that these laborers have not been castrated, and letting them work is equivalent to letting them survive, the Ministry of Railways, the Ministry of Communications, and the Ministry of Households, will these people agree that we will castrate the barbarians on the spot? ”
Amin shook his head and said: "It's impossible, especially the Ministry of Railways and the Ministry of Communications, these two big labor consumers are now short of people and are going crazy, and the barbarians will be castrated after they get back to the capital, which is much better than our conditions here."
Let's put it this way, if the laborers are castrated after they are brought back to the Ming Dynasty, the Ministry of Communications and the Ministry of Railways will be able to divide up all these laborers. ”
Then, the killers led by Amin deliberately leaked a few flaws, so that the Cossack cavalry led by Alkimir slowly came into contact with the front of the formation.
According to Amin, "After working back and forth for so long, if we don't toss a little bit and come out for the barbarians to see, they can't be cowards for us?" ”
Khmelnitsky dared to pat his conscience and say that he had never thought that the army of the Ming Dynasty was a coward, and that to support it was to die that their cavalry was too bad, at least not as elite as the Cossack cavalry.
Faced with the loopholes in the formation of the Ming army, after careful analysis several times, Khmelnitsky finally decided to send someone to test it.
The Cossack cavalry that Khmelnitsky brought with him was the real side that could not survive in terms of logistical supplies, even if the Cossack cavalry was on his own territory.
What made Khmelnitsky feel even more painful was that the Cossacks were used to "getting supplies on the spot", including from the territory of their own country, and it was only after they were reorganized into regular Cossack cavalry regiments that they were somewhat restrained.
The Cossack cavalry "obtained" a little less supplies, and the supplies of Alexei I and Mikhailovich could not be delivered for a long time, so the Cossacks reverted to their old ways and once again played "obtaining supplies on the spot".
This had a very disgusting consequence, that is, the civilians of Tsarist Russia began to hate the Cossack cavalry, and the constant phenomenon of fleeing was better, and those who ran to tell the Ming army were disgusting.
At the very least, Alkimir with a team of 1,000 people has intercepted those "traitors" who want to run to the Ming side more than once.
If this continues, it may be that the army of the Ming Empire has not yet launched an attack on its side, and the civilians on its side have already run away.
It doesn't matter where these people go, anyway, the final result is that the Cossack cavalry regiment will not be able to "get supplies", and then the army of fifty or sixty thousand will fall into a situation of lack of food.
