Chapter 925 Surprise Attack on Lake Baikal

In any case, Ding **** has been operating in Siberia for several years, and those local Siberian tribes have also enjoyed the benefits brought by the Great Song Dynasty, and the development of farming culture has made these locals live more and more stable, so most people are still very supportive of Ding ****. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info Ding**** sits in Siberia and occupies a favorable geographical position, which is the most advantageous magic weapon. Seeing that winter is coming, when the snow is covered and Siberia returns to the ice and snow plateau, the Western coalition forces on the expedition to the Yenisei River have no strong cities to rely on. Zhao Yougong insisted on his own judgment, he must be stable, the more impatient the coalition forces are, the more they prove what they are planning.

Spies from the vicinity of the cities of Tula and Siberia were all released, and they were active north and south of the Tunguska River, closely searching for any suspicious signs. Siberia is too vast, a huge land, sparsely populated, and it is too easy to hide a single army. Holy Heavenly God Castle, Zhao Yougong frowned and walked around the hall, the fighting style of the Western Coalition Army has been bothering him for several days, and the military reports that are currently asking for war are one after another, but all of them are pressed down by Zhao Yougong. Yesterday, Dongfang Jin also rushed to Siberian City, and Dongfang Jin had only one suggestion for the battle situation in front of him, that is, to stay still. Zhao Yougong also very much agrees with Dongfang Jin's opinion, this kind of snail advance of the coalition army is obviously abnormal, before figuring out the strategic intentions of the coalition forces, it is best to do nothing, blindly attack, the more you do, the more you will be wrong. Due to the advance of the coalition forces on the Taimel Plateau, it was only more than fifty miles away from the city of Tula, so Dongfang Jin, who had always been wild and uninhibited, had to concentrate and become serious, looking at the map of the Yenisei River that had just been drawn recently, Dongfang Jin's brows kept jumping, "It's really weird, as long as you have a little military common sense, you should know how difficult the cold winter in Siberia is." The Germans did not know, the Slavs could not have known, could not have been the goal of the barbarians, the city of Tula? ”

Xiao Zhiyun walked to the side and shook her head gently, "The three cities in the eastern part of the Yenisei River, we have already finished housing, and it is unrealistic for the barbarian army to quickly take any of them. If the barbarian army really advanced slowly and step by step like this, I am afraid that as soon as winter comes, they will have to withdraw their troops. The barbarian army is acting so strangely, there must be some plan. ”

The war horse galloped, several cavalry hurriedly broke into the city of Siberia, came to the castle, turned over and dismounted, because they were too anxious, squatted on the ground, but a few people didn't have time to feel the pain, and ran towards the castle with a rolling belt, "Report... Report.... Your Highness, the detachment stationed on the Angara River received a report from the local herdsmen that a large number of barbarian cavalry had passed north of the Sayan Mountains. ”

Hearing the three words of Sayanling, everyone was shocked, several people immediately stood in front of the map looking for the location of Sayanling and the Angara River, looking at it and feeling cold all over, Zhao Yougong chuckled in his heart, and said eagerly, "Order the Angara River patrol to go to the Sayanling area immediately to find out whether the news is true." ”

Just when Zhao Yougong passed on the order, the hundred-man team patrolling the Angara River had already gone to Sayanling early, and Qin Hao's mood was not as calm as it appeared to be. After graduating from the infantry department of Chang'an Jingshi University, he was assigned to the Gyeonggi Road Front Army as a capital leader, that is to say, his position as the head of the capital was not killed step by step like most lower-level officers, this was the first time to lead troops into battle, and it was a huge challenge for Qin Hao, who had just entered the battlefield. Going to Sayan Ridge may encounter great risks, but years of military knowledge have taught him that he must confirm the authenticity of the news, and if all this is true, the impact will be great. If the barbarian army really repairs the plank road and reaches Lake Baikal smoothly, then the entire Siberian city and the Angara River will be shrouded in the attack of the barbarian army. As a qualified commander, Qin Hao understands the importance of Lake Baikal, although Siberia has made great progress in recent years, but the agricultural development is insufficient, the materials are scarce, most of the materials have to be transported from the south, especially in winter, almost all the materials have to pass through the Baikal road, occupy Lake Baikal, and control the life channel of Siberia.

"Qin Dutou, are you too worried, what the bearded man said may not be true, it is probably for that reward!" A soldier said lazily, Qin Hao turned his head and glared at him angrily, and snorted coldly, "If you don't confirm it, how can you know if it's true or not?" Remember, there is no room for luck on the battlefield, there is a little omission, but you lose your life, are you willing to lose your life on the battlefield, or are you willing to work harder in peacetime? ”

The soldier was speechless by Qin Hao's words, so he could only arch his hand in embarrassment, and near evening, this small detachment that was supposed to patrol the Angara River finally came to the northern grassland of the East Sayan Mountains that the herdsmen said. On the slope of Wusuo Mountain, Qin Hao ordered the team to disperse to find out if there was anything abnormal. It didn't take long for a patrol soldier to run back out of breath, "Qin Dutou, in the southwest direction, the brothers found a large number of horseshoe prints. ”

Qin Hao hurriedly hit his horse and rushed over, the place where the horse's hooves appeared was on the grassland south of the slope of Wusuo Mountain, the horse's hooves extended far away, and in some places the turf had been flattened, and Qin Hao's back hair was blown up, how many cavalry would it take for this to pass by to step on such an effect? The herdsman was right, there were a large number of soldiers and horses passing through the northern part of the Sayan Mountains, and there were countless cavalry. In the whole of Siberia, except for Ding****, the only thing left is the barbarian army, Qin Hao's expression changed greatly, and he turned around to touch the reins of the horse, "Everyone immediately return to Siberian City and inform Your Highness that a large number of barbarian troops have crossed the Sayan Mountains, and Lake Baikal is dangerous." ”

As soon as the words fell, I heard someone shouting loudly, the voice trembling with fear, "Qin Dutou.... Oh no.... Barbarians.... Barbarian cavalry ....."

Turning over and getting on his horse, following the sound, Qin Hao's heart sank to the bottom, and a black oppressive cavalry appeared in the north, numbering more than a thousand people, they wore strange flat-capped helmets, black armor, and narrow long swords. The cavalry of the Germanic people, such a number of cavalry, Qin Hao knew that he was less lucky today, "Chen Qing, take your people to escape from the west, and the rest of the people will follow me to block the barbarian army." ”

Chen Qing, the deputy head of the capital, nodded desperately, looking at Qin Hao's firm eyes, he shook the reins of his horse and led several cronies under his command to flee desperately to the west. Someone must escape, and the matter of the Sayan Mountains must be passed on to His Highness in time, otherwise the entire Siberian Expeditionary Force will fall into passivity. Qin Hao's troops were indeed facing Germanic cavalry, and they were also the most heroic and combative Holy Cross Knights of the Holy Roman Empire. In this sneak attack on Lake Baikal, Dolle was in charge of full command, without the Slavs dragging his feet, Dolle showed his war talent to the fullest, at least from Nannuko City to the Eastern Sayan Mountains, without showing a little flaw, until this team of Orientals came to the slopes of Mount Uso, "Sugas, surround these Orientals, kill them all, don't let any of them go, the plan of the eastern expedition to Lake Baikal cannot be affected in the slightest." ”

Lake Baikal, this beautiful lake, has once again become the focal point of Siberia. From the very beginning, Dorle had great opinions about the command of Lothair and Viache, and lacked sufficient understanding of the Orientals, but it was completely reckless to engage in a head-on collision. After the Battle of the Tunguska, Lothair and Viache suffered a serious blow to their arrogant nature, and in the absence of a better way, they had to consider Dolle. This proud son of heaven from the Frederick family, although he was full of arrogance and some people looked at him, his military talent was incomparable. With a large number of expeditionary forces arriving in Siberia, Dolle knew that the coalition forces no longer had much advantage in numbers, and what Dolle hated most was a head-to-head confrontation without any skill, which was no different from a reckless man. I have to say that Dolle has very vicious eyes, and if you want to say how much you know about Siberia, it may not be, but Dolle still quickly and accurately focused his eyes on the vicinity of Lake Baikal. According to the herdsmen who found it, the so-called Central Plains of the Eastern Empire is also very far away from Siberia, and it takes about ten days from the capital of the Eastern Empire to the city of Siberia. Phoenix, Tula, Siberian City, this area is home to a large number of Siberians, who have to pass through Lake Baikal for most of their baggage. Of course, Lake Baikal has the advantage of being located at the southern tip of central Siberia, which is the best place to camp in winter.

The movements of the Germanic cavalry should be kept secret, and the longer this secret is kept, the better it will be for your side. Under the order of Dolle, the commander Sugers led his soldiers and horses to control the entire slope of Wusuo Mountain, the resistance of the Oriental people was tenacious, but the disparity in strength made this battle without any suspense, Qin Hao died on the slope of Wusuo Mountain, this young man from the land of Qilu, before he had time to shine, he was drowned in the torrent of history. The hillside is full of lone war horses, their owners lying quietly on the grass, maybe no one will remember their names in a hundred years, but no one can deny that they are heroes on the battlefield.

There was no smile on Dorle's face, because in the end of the battle, none of these Orientals surrendered, and this mysterious Oriental Empire had a magical power. Dolle has fears and expectations, and a respectable opponent is hard to come by. In the end, only Chen Qing and one of his personal entourage survived. Chen Qing couldn't think of anything in his mind, but instinctively drove the war horse towards the Siberian city.

Woo.... Woo..... Woo, a bull's horn sounded, this is every night, the signal of the city of Siberia to close the city gate, at this moment, a pair of figures supported each other on the city gate and knocked, "I'm Chen.... Celebrate.... Angara .... Tell Your Highness... Barbarians.... Barbarian... Army... At.... In Bega... You.... Lake...."

Chen Qing's voice became weaker and weaker, and finally met him in front of the city gate, and he returned to Siberian City alive and brought back reliable news. The castle of the Holy Celestial God was brightly lit, and the general of the Siberian Expeditionary Force kept coming in and out of the castle this night, and everyone looked serious. Faced with the situation in front of him, even Dongfang Jin, who was known for his cunning, became at a loss, who would have thought that when everyone focused their attention on the Taimel Plateau and the city of Tula, the barbarian army would quietly pass through the Eastern Sayan Mountains. As a dog-headed military division, Dongfang Jin is very aware of the importance of Lake Baikal, and all Siberia and external circulation must pass through Lake Baikal, so the locals call Lake Baikal the throat of Siberia. The official road passing through Lake Baikal carries all the communication between the north and the south. Of course, Lake Baikal is important, but Ding **** did not deploy heavy troops on Lake Baikal, because next to Lake Baikal is the city of Siberia. The most important thing is that the barbarians did not know much about Siberia and the Great Song Dynasty, and they probably did not even know about the place of Baikal, let alone the importance of this lake to Siberia. This is not to despise it, but from all the previous military operations of the barbarian army, they have no interest in the south.

"What now? If the Germanic cavalry has already crossed the Eastern Sayan Mountains, I am afraid that the next attack will be on the Angara, and Baikal is already under the control of the Germans! Although he didn't want to admit it, Zhao Yougong had to face this reality, with the speed of the Germanic cavalry, as long as there was no obstacle in the area of the East Sayan Mountains, he would definitely reach Lake Baikal smoothly.

Faced with the predicament, Dongfang Jin must come up with a way, because this is his responsibility, as a strategist, without thinking about Baikal in advance, it is already a dereliction of duty, "Your Highness, Baikal is too important to us, without Baikal, the baggage cannot be transported in, and this winter will become very difficult." Without baggage supplies, we don't have much left of our advantage in Siberia. Moreover, the most terrible thing is that once the baggage is scarce, those local tribes may be unstable, which is probably also the result that the barbarian army wants, the more chaotic Siberia, the more beneficial it is for them. ”

"Well, what Mr. Dongfang said is very true, and Concubine Ben also thinks that Baikal is more important, but at the moment, most of our forces are concentrated in the three cities east of the Yenisei River, and we don't have enough troops to attack Baikal!" Xiao Zhiyun directly said the most fatal question, Zhao Yougong looked ugly, Dongfang Jin frowned, and seemed to remember something.

Seeing Dongfang Jin's complicated face, Zhao Yougong pressed his hand on the table, and said with a cold expression, "At this time, what else is there to be afraid of, it is impossible to transfer troops from the south in the short term, tell me what you think." ”

With Zhao Yougong's permission, Dongfang Jin gritted his teeth, and cold words squeezed out from between his teeth, "If you want to take it, you must give it first, since ancient times, you can't have both fish and bear's paws!" (To be continued.) )
