Gao Qiang looked at Song Tao dumbfounded, and then said, "Big brother, why didn't I see anything." ”

Song Tao shook his head and said with a wry smile: "I think so, you said that if we don't eat these hairs, just break them up and let them escape back to Russia, what will happen to that?" ”

Gao Qiang's eyes lit up, he had vaguely guessed Song Tao's intentions, but he was not sure yet.

"Commander, you mean, Maozi has lost this time, and he will definitely organize a larger army next year."

Song Tao nodded, and then said approvingly: "Hmm...... That's what I mean. The Siberian region was so important to Maozi that there were a lot of interests involved, including the Tsarist royal family, the big nobles, the big businessmen, and the Russian military, who could not afford to lose Siberia.

Of course, we have to add a fire. First of all, we can't beat Maozi too hard, at least we have to disguise it as the Tatar image in Maozi's eyes, cannons, airships and machine guns or something, they definitely can't be used. It is best to have the nomadic detachment as the main force of this campaign, with the aim of defeating Maozi's army, so that they can flee back to Russia.

And we will also send a large number of armed herdsmen to chase after the Ural Mountains, make a stir in Russia, preferably burn and loot, and then withdraw to Siberia before the harsh winter comes. In this way, Russia will have to send troops to Siberia, and even without the cherished fur of Siberia, Maozi cannot allow the Tatars to occupy the area east of the Urals. ”

Gao Qiang listened to Song Tao's words and nodded excitedly.

"Commander, your idea is too good, in this way, Mao Zi will have to carry out a large-scale mobilization, and next spring he will definitely organize a large army. Come to Siberia and have a decisive battle with us, the Tatars. ”

When he said this, he laughed and said, "If that's the case, this is a big deal." ”

Song Tao said with a smile: "We want to leave an impression on Maozi, that is, the southern Moxi Mongolia is moving north, if they still send thousands of soldiers and horses as before, it will definitely not be right." Not to mention all that they have. It also has to make them break their muscles and bones. We will organize a great war of annihilation in the region east of the Urals and destroy the main Russian forces.

Then the Western Advance Corps will also send a large number of cavalry troops from the Kazakh steppe to the north, taking advantage of the emptiness in Russia, to stir up the Eastern European Plain controlled by Maozi, and if conditions permit, to kill the city of Moscow. Hey...... This is a big battle. ”

Gao Qiang slapped his thigh and laughed: "Haha...... Commander, this is more than a big battle. If you don't do it, you can destroy Russia. Maozi's current geopolitical form is not good, there are Poland and Lithuania kingdoms to the west, and they are feuding. To the southwest is Ukraine, which is a vassal of Poland, and the Cossack cavalry of the Ukrainian steppes has never been settled. Not to mention the south, how many years of war between the Crimean Khanate and Maozi have been.

If we wipe out Maozi's elite in one fell swoop in the area east of the Ural Mountains, and then send troops to sweep the Volga River valley controlled by Maozi, then the surrounding Poland, the Kingdom of Lithuania, the Ukrainian Cossacks and the Crimean Khanate can be idle? Don't you have to pounce with red eyes. By that time, there will be no Russian or not. Even if Maozi doesn't destroy the country, it's not much better. ”

Song Tao smiled and nodded, "No." Maozi's army is coming, and we have to deploy it immediately, whether this plan can be approved by the board of directors or not, but at least we will play the show first. Even if the board of directors doesn't approve our plan, we are playing a better game now, and Maozi will definitely not give up. More troops will definitely be sent over next spring. ”

He frowned when he said this, and then said in a deep voice: "Then this time, the herdsmen of the nomadic detachment are young and strong, and I am afraid that there will be certain casualties." ”

Gao Qiang smiled and said: "Casualties are inevitable, and in order to play a good show, we can only sacrifice some of the herdsmen of the nomadic detachment." So be it. Transferring the reserve militia and disguising themselves as herdsmen in the steppe can just organize and command many herdsmen

So the two immediately adjusted the battle plan and drove the surrounding nomadic detachments to the Tyumen region to assemble. In just one day's work, tens of thousands of Mongolian herders gathered in the area around Tyumen, and nomadic detachments continued to gather here.

Two days later, the number of nomadic detachments that had arrived day and night from all over the country had reached tens of thousands. Thinking that time was urgent, some young women and half-grown children were also mixed in, and even some old people came with bows and arrows on their backs.

By this time, the Russian army led by Ostorov had already arrived in the Tyumen region, and they walked very carefully along the way, not walking much every day, and when they camped at night, they were like facing the enemy, and the defense facilities were extremely tight.

He sent several cavalry squads to the Tyumen fortress to reconnoitre, and this time several cavalry squads returned halfway. Intelligence indicates that the Tyumen fortress was indeed besieged by tens of thousands of Tatars.

Ostov chose to camp at a place not far from the Tyumen fortress and decided to start marching to the Tyumen fortress tomorrow to lift the siege there.

In the early hours of the morning, the Russian camp began to form a circle with horse-drawn carriages, and more than a dozen artillery pieces were arranged, and even the brazier was pressed all night and could be fired at any time. And the camp was full of sentry posts. None of them dared to be careless, and they stared at the boss one by one, for fear of a night attack by the Tatars.

Although there will be no night attacks in this era, it is impossible to touch them in the dark night, unless you are wearing a torch, you can walk in the dark night, but the torches will be discovered by the enemy, so basically the night raids are carried out under special conditions, and it is definitely not the norm of war.

Vasily was a musketeer, and at this time he was standing on the roof of the carriage with an arquebus, nervously patrolling the surroundings. He's been serving for more than two years, and he's a veteran, but this is his first time on the battlefield, so he's nervous.

Suddenly, he faintly heard some sounds, thinking that they were quiet, and that they would be gone after a while. He searched for a long time but didn't find it, thinking that he had tinnitus, so he didn't care, and continued to nervously observe the surrounding situation.

The moonlight is better tonight, and he looked at the moon in the sky and couldn't help but think of his hometown.

A thing swayed and disappeared from the air, he hit a spirit, quickly rubbed his eyes, and looked ahead carefully, but he didn't find anything after looking at it for a long time.

There are so many strange things today, why are you tinnitus and dazzling, maybe you are too nervous, Vasily comforted himself.

"Bang...... Bang ......"

Suddenly, several soaring flames erupted around the camp, instantly illuminating the camp as if it were day. Vasily looked at the few flames next to the camp, as if a few bonfires had been lit, and he was dumbfounded. (To be continued.) )
