Chapter 56

Golowen is in a bad mood recently. All of this stems from the sneak attack on the Ming Empire more than a month ago. Damn, the Ming generals of Manjingwei were simply crazy, and the Ming soldiers were also crazy.

There were only 10,000 people in a small castle. Facing his 100,000 army, they did not escape. They attacked him in turn for four days, but they still fought to the death.

Wei Ke, he lost 20,000 people in vain. If he had known that he would have piled up all 100,000 people at the beginning and killed them. See if they could kill 20,000 people, and even piled up corpses on the city wall!

Also, the Ming army's support came so quickly. It was so miserable that it was defeated. One hundred thousand people ran to carry out sneak attacks, and less than sixty thousand escaped back. Who was sneak attacking whom?

What is even more annoying is that he has to face the revenge of the Ming army. In the past month, hundreds of spies he has sent out, but only dozens of them have come back.

Anyone who crossed the Lena River to investigate was basically no news. Recently, even the river was not safe. The Ming army sent countless detective cavalry to investigate everywhere, but if they encountered it, they would basically die.

Their flintlock rifles are too advanced and can actually fire six shots. Moreover, they don’t come one by one, at least dozens or even hundreds. It would be a blessing for the spies they sent out to meet them and not be beaten into a hornet’s nest!

It is difficult to send people to investigate now. When they heard that they were going to investigate the enemy situation, their soldiers were like they were on the execution ground, and they were so scared that they were almost wet their pants.

He had to hold a pork hook and pat it in his hand every day, so that no one dared to disobey his orders!

The situation is very bad now. The spy sent out a few days ago risked his life to approach the river bank and took a look. The Ming army actually started to build bridges on the Lena River, and the river bank opposite was full of people. It seemed that they were determined to take revenge. The hornet was stabbed, and Goloven became more annoyed the more he thought about it.

What should I do? Rozov has not responded for a long time, and I don’t know when the reinforcements will arrive. What’s more hateful is that the salary from last month has not been sent yet. Rozov has agreed that once the sea in the north can pass, it will be transported by ship.

It's July now, and the sea surface is already accessible. Where is my money?

Golovin's face was as dark as pork liver every day. He also knocked here and there with the pork hook from time to time, which scared his guards to hide from a distance and dared not approach him.

The reinforcements have not yet been seen, and the military pay has not arrived. As the Ming army is about to rush over, Rozov, you damn it, what should I do?

Gorovin was so angry that he couldn't help but waved the pork hook again and smashed it on the table, and another deep pit immediately appeared on the table.

Fortunately, he used to chopping boards when he was slaughtering pigs. The table was also made of thick solid wood boards. Otherwise, he would not know how many tables would be smashed by him.

Fake really wants to beat someone up and vent his anger, but now even the guards dare not approach him. Where can he find someone to beat him for a while?

Unexpectedly, this time he really got what he wanted. He smashed a pork hook and actually smashed someone!

A spy ran in panic and lay on the ground and said in panic: "Sir, it's not good. The Ming army has already built the bridge, and hundreds of thousands of people have rushed over in an instant!"

Golovin was so scared that he almost didn't even hold the pork hook firmly. He simply threw the pork hook onto the table, ran up and grabbed the spy's collar, took it to him and shouted: "What did you say? Hundreds of thousands of Ming troops! How far is it from here?"

The spy was opening his mouth to breathe, but Golovin was sprayed with saliva all over his face.

However, he didn't care about disgust. The Count was famously cruel. If one of them could not answer well, he would really be able to hang himself with a pork hook in anger. He quickly replied: "The Ming army did not come here, they were building a railway to the west."

Didn't come here? Golovin heard this and breathed a sigh of relief, patted the spy's face and said, "Yeah, okay, continue to explore."

After saying that, not only did he let go of his hand, he also helped the spy fix his collar and wiped the saliva from his hand.

The spy was so excited that he could not cry when he heard this. He finally escaped from the nose of the Ming army's detective cavalry. Now he is going to go again. Is this life worthless?

However, being shot to death is better than being hung by a pork hook. He gritted his teeth, turned around, and ran away like a flying one.

Golovin had actually had the intention of retreating at this time. There were hundreds of thousands of people building a railway. There were so many troops behind him. There were definitely more troops without thinking about this.

He doesn't have the backbone of Yang Zhong, and he won't do anything that he can't fight to the death.

Besides, even if he fights to the death, he will never be able to defend Yakuci Castle. Facing hundreds of thousands or even millions of Ming troops, it is wrong to fight hard. Only by using his familiarity with the terrain to cut off their food routes will he have a chance of winning.

I have to say that Golovin is still a little talented, and he is not a waste of time, so he can still do the tactic of sneak attacking and intercepting grain.

Unfortunately, he met a group of Ming army generals who were more talented than him, so he was afraid that he would be unable to intercept the food channel.

Since he had decided to run away, Golovin no longer hesitated. That night, he asked his confidants to load all the property he had robbed during this period and transport it to Novosibirsk in the southwest, where it was his nest and the rear. Unless the Ming Empire could occupy the entire Siberia, his property would not be in trouble.

The next morning, he ordered all the soldiers to pack their luggage and take all the ones they could, ready to run away.

On the third day, news came from the front that millions of Ming troops attacked on the entire line!

There is nothing else to hesitate to run away quickly. Golovin directly led the remaining 50,000 people to the west and soon disappeared on the vast Siberian plateau.

The Ming army's offensive plan was also very detailed this time, with ten legions divided into four parts.

Zhu Cijing directly led the First Corps of the Imperial Guards to guard the rear of Sun Jiazhou and was responsible for the allocation of food, grass and supplies;

Mao Wenlong led the Dongjiang Army to protect the vassal state army and the Liaodong Tunwei to build railways, and was responsible for the protection of food, grass and supplies along the way;

Cao Wenzhao led the Guanning Army, the Liaodong Army, the First Border Defense Army Corps and the Second Border Defense Army Corps to be responsible for the attack on the northern line;

Lu Xiangsheng led the Tianxiong Army, the Dingliao Army, the Second Expeditionary Army and the Zhongyong Army were responsible for the offense on the southern front;

Yakuz Castle is located on the southern line and is also on the banks of the Thanksgiving River, so Lu Xiangsheng's first goal is to take down this castle.

For this reason, he even asked the North Sea Fleet to transport all the artillery of the four legions to the vicinity of Yakuz Castle and prepare for a tough battle.

However, when he led four legions to carefully surround him, he found that Yakuz Castle had become an empty city, and all the Rakshasa soldiers ran away!

Moreover, he sent a scout cavalry to chase him for thousands of miles, but he could not find any trace of the Rakshasa soldiers!

The enemy was defeated thousands of miles before the war started. If it was in other places, this was a good situation, but here, Lu Xiangsheng did not think it was a good thing.

This is enough to prove that the Russian commander is a veteran of the battlefield. He definitely wants to intercept the food route!
