Chapter 760: The two armies face each other


The enemy forces harassed back and forth several times, and saw the torches on the city wall soaring into the sky, and soon stopped attacking.The night wind struck, the darkness engulfed everything again, and the outside of the city began to become quiet again.Everyone on the city wall breathed a sigh of relief, at this time both sides were somewhat night blind, and the night was not suitable for large-scale battles.Sauron did not dare to be careless, but still asked the army to assemble and stand by, preparing to find out the situation after dawn before making plans.More than 50,000 soldiers are now available in the city, and as things stand, there are no firearms in the area.After careful consideration, Sauron did not ask for help from the army for the time being.The provincial capital of the Qing court in the Amur region was located in Hailan Paocheng, which was only separated by a river from New China.At the beginning, Lao Maozi called it Blagoveshchensk City, which was still a small village during the Kangxi period, and was originally called Daheitun.The city has a population of more than 300,000 people, of which 30,000 are standing soldiers and horses, which belong to the establishment of the National Protector Army, and the others have nearly 100,000 militia.Thirty miles outside Blackwater City, rows of fur tents were erected one by one.These cavalrymen, dressed in Russian troops, were Cossacks who had come to the aid of Western Russia.It was the middle of winter, and if you didn't set up a tent, you would freeze to death overnight.Before setting up a tent, a ground nest should be dug first, which can only accommodate one person to lie down, and then spread cow hair felt in the ground nest, which is very cold and cold.The tent area of 100,000 cavalry is densely packed, and if you look at it from a high altitude during the day, it looks like a mushroom, and it is very powerful.In the central position of the tent area, the commander of this gang of Cossacks, Zhirkov, commanded the battle here.When the tent was lifted, a young man with blond hair and blue eyes walked in, took off his hat, and said to Zhirkov, "Father, everything is clear."

There are at most tens of thousands of soldiers and horses in the city, all of them are armed with firearms, and they still have a little combat effectiveness" The young man was none other than Zhirkov's son Sidor, who had just followed the generals on the front line to harass the city walls."

Very good, these Orientals don't know what to do, this time I will destroy one of their cities first, and give them a wake-up call" Zhirkov laughed arrogantly, not taking the defenders of Blackwater City into account in the slightest."

Father, are we going to attack tomorrow?"

Sidore's eyes were full of fanaticism."

Yes, you told the generals to get ready.We don't have much food and grass, we can only fight quickly, and it is not good for us to drag it out like this" Zhirkov nodded, and finally met with the Orientals, neither side had any contact, and only a battle could be fought to know the depths.In the middle of the night, bonfires were lit everywhere in Blackwater, tents were erected, and nests were dug up.If this is frozen outside overnight, it will become a popsicle during the day, Lao Maozi can't stand it, and the Manchus can't stand it either.Sauron summoned his generals into his tent to discuss military affairs, and asked Hakusan to tell him where the enemy had been found.Bai San's heart was about to jump out, for fear that Sauron would investigate him for the crime of losing his warhorse.All of his war horses were captured by Lao Maozi, if he hadn't given up these war horses temporarily, Lao Maozi would have allowed them a long time ago.At the moment of the great war, Sauron certainly didn't care about these little things.After the continuous analysis of the generals, the possibility of an attack by the Huaxing Army was ruled out at the moment.Because the Huaxing army is in the south, and the enemy army is from the west, it must be Lao Maozi who came to support."

Let's talk about it, can we resist Lao Maozi's attack" It was already the middle of the night, and the faces of the generals were a little tired.Sauron also lit a cigarette to refresh himself, the last time he had been trafficked from the gates.Here, they cut down trees, hunted and dug ginseng, and then sold them on the opposite side of Heilongjiang in exchange for necessities.Wherever the Huaxing army hit, there were businessmen who followed.The war has now stopped and business is on track."

Lord Toto, according to the observation of the last general, the enemy army is obviously fierce, at least about tens of thousands, and they are all cavalry.Our firearms obviously can't withstand their several charges, and we have to think of other ways" Gao Huan, the deputy commander of the left side, immediately got up and clenched his fists back, with a look on his face that was not optimistic."

That's right, generals, Lao Maozi's cavalry has always been exquisite.When we occupied this area, it took the help of the Protectors to strangle them.Now relying on our firepower alone, within a dozen or so convergences, Lao Maozi's cavalry will definitely open a gap" The right deputy commander Bu Shunda is also full of sadness, if the enemy's personal soldiers are in the tens of thousands, it is easy to say, but if it is fifty or sixty thousand, or even more than a hundred thousand, the Heishui River will not last long."

Yes, we should hurry to Hailan Pao City for help.The army will arrive in three days, and we only need to hold out for three days."

We only have tens of thousands of firearms in our hands, and if we rely on the infantry and Lao Maozi's cavalry to fight, we will definitely lose."

At this time, the soldiers outside the tent boiled a pot of hot water and went into the house to fill a bowl for everyone.When he came out of the tent, the curtain had not been lowered, and his feet slipped, and he screamed and fell to the ground.The crowd was amused by this accident, Bai San had the lowest position in it, and quickly stepped forward to help his own soldiers up.When he saw the reflective ice on the ground, a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, and he had a plan for a moment."

Lord Dutong, I have a good solution" Bai San shouted at Sauron excitedly, and all the generals looked at this little leader inexplicably, with a look of contempt on their faces."

Bai San, what should I do, I don't know if we are discussing an important military situation, what are you arguing about" The right deputy Du Bu Shunda glared at him, he had no choice, if this assistant leader had a way, wouldn't Chi Guoguo slap him in the face."

Go, go, what kind of coaxing are you doing here" The other generals also responded."

Okay, let's be quiet" Sauron raised his voice and scolded, and when the tent was quiet, he looked at Bai San curiously and asked, "If you have any ideas, just say it" "Lord Dutong, look at this" Bai San finally had a chance to speak, and immediately picked up his tea bowl and splashed it outside the tent.A cold wind blew in, and all the generals couldn't help but shiver.I saw that the cup of hot tea had just been spilled, and it didn't take long for it to form a layer of ice on the ground.All the generals looked at Bai San inexplicably, not knowing what he wanted to say."

You want to use water to deal with the cavalry of Lao Maozi" After all, Sauron has been fighting for many years and has rich combat experience.As soon as Bai San demonstrated this, a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, and he immediately raised his eyebrows and asked."

Yes, that's right.Lord Toto, it's freezing right now.We can water the outside of the city wall, and then freeze it into ice, and the enemy cavalry will slip on the ice even if they rush over, so that we can block their charging formation, and we can also respond immediately" Bai San nodded excitedly, and he couldn't wait to praise himself for being a genius."

Good idea, I agree" Ma Zhe immediately applauded this fellow countryman, if this method really works, Du Tong will definitely reuse Bai San.The other generals looked at each other and looked at Bai San and nodded secretly, as if they could really use this method
