Chapter 151: Stratagem "In this case, I think that we should go to Königsberg, maybe the adults will think that I am crazy, but I am very sober, now the vicinity of Königsberg has become a big battlefield, although our army is weak compared to the army of more than 10,000 people in the two countries, but our army is all cavalry, coming and going like the wind is our greatest advantage, so I think that as long as our army gives full play to the advantages of mobility and speed, then we can be comfortable in such a chaotic situation, and my lord, I believe that as long as we can get in touch with the Russians, then the Russian army will definitely support us."
After Plivesky's words, he looked at Kleiman with some smugness, admittedly his words undoubtedly had some truth, but Kleiman thought that the situation was not as easy as Pliveski said.

Someone may want to say that the Cossack cavalry could completely abandon the Prussian army and make a detour into the Königsberg area with the advantage of cavalry.
If this person stood in front of Kleiman, Kleiman would definitely poke his nose at him, and if he ignored the rapid advance of the 3,000 Prussian army on the opposite side, he could indeed enter Königsberg before the Prussian army reacted.
But in that case, the Cossacks would be in an extremely dangerous situation, the Cossacks entered the Königsberg area and faced a full 30,000 Prussian troops, in such a situation, the Prussian army would definitely divide its forces to block Kleiman's Cossacks, once the route of the march was blocked, the 3,000 Prussian troops that were thrown off at the beginning could completely move to the rear of the Cossacks.
The battlefield is so big that there is no room for strategic maneuver at all, once the Cossacks are blocked in Königsberg, plus the 3,000 Prussian troops that followed, even if the last Cossack cavalry can break through, it will definitely be greatly traumatized, and it is certain.
In such a situation, can you expect Kleiman to take such a big risk, these Cossacks are Kleiman's last hope.
Pliveski looked at Kleiman's face change, he secretly disdained it in his heart, of course he was very clear about Kleiman's careful thoughts, but now this situation is already a time to make a choice.
Of course, Pryvsky knew how much loss the Cossack cavalry would suffer when they marched into Königsberg, you must know that many of this army were people from Pryvsky's own tribe, but Plivsky couldn't take care of so much, if the Prussian army defeated the Russian army, then their Cossack cavalry would not be able to run, and they would definitely be eaten clean by the Prussian army who came to their senses.
There was only one way in front of him, and that was to get in touch with the Russian army in Königsberg, and Pulivsky believed that the Russian army would be very interested in the Cossack cavalry in his hands, and even if all the troops in his hands were lost, Plivsky would be able to rely on the Russians, in other words, Plivsky wanted to use this Cossack cavalry as his own step forward.
"Your Excellency Kleiman, there is only one way in front of us at the moment, the situation on the battlefield is changing rapidly, if you don't make up your mind early, maybe when the Prussian army comes to its senses, we can only be wiped out, and the Prussian army hates you to the core."
Seeing that Kleiman was still hesitating, Pliveski just continued to persuade, and when it came to the back, his words were already full of threats.
Hearing this, Kleiman was shocked, and indeed if the Prussian army knew that he was not dead, no matter where he ran, the Prussians would definitely be killed.
Thinking of this, Kleiman spun around a few times, and finally he stood facing Pryvsky, and then said: "Chief Plivesky, please go and assemble the army now, and I will hand over the command of the army to you for the time being, hoping that you will live up to my hopes and destroy the enemy who is blocking our way, if you cannot break through the enemy's defense line in five days, military law will deal with it" After saying that, Kleiman waved his hand to let Pliveski go down, and seeing this, Plivesky said a loud promise, and then strode out of the tent.
But what Priffsky didn't see was the eyes that Kleiman threw at him behind him, Kleiman handed over the command of the army to Pryvsky was really helpless, everyone knows, don't look at yourself as the supreme commander of this Cossack cavalry, but the command is in Plivesky's hands, without Plivesky's consent, Kleiman doesn't want to command a Cossack cavalry.
In such a situation, how can Kleiman not be resentful or even hateful, if Pryvsky can quickly eliminate the Prussian army blocking the way, it is naturally the best, if he cannot complete the task within the specified time limit or is even defeated by the Prussian army, then Kleiman can take the military power in Plivesky's hands by virtue of righteousness, that is not too bad.
Kleiman's plan to kill two birds with one stone, how could Pryvsky not see it, but Pryvsky didn't care, because Plivesky firmly believed that with the Cossack cavalry in his hand, he could completely beat the Prussian army on the opposite side to the point that he couldn't find it, and even if he couldn't complete the task, what could Kleiman do with him, Kleiman wanted to collect military power, but did the military power be collected, this Cossack cavalry could be said to have been subdued by Plivesky, if Kleiman dared to really do it, Pliveski will definitely let him know what a puppet means.
Soon the Cossack cavalry scattered throughout the city of Bialystok gathered, and the rest of the Cossacks were here, except for a few Cossacks who were on scout duty.
Looking at the cavalry in the city, Plevsky had no doubt that the Prussian army would be dizzy by his own beating, because when had the Cossack cavalry been defeated by others in the same number.
Seeing that the cavalry was almost assembled, Pryvsky gently spat out two words: "Go" Under his orders, the Cossacks rushed out and headed for the town of Bourne.
In fact, even if the Cossacks did not come to Bern, Blucher planned to find these Cossacks, because Blucher knew that the only way to gain a foothold in the Prussian army was to achieve a brilliant victory if he had offended Ferdinand, and if the Cossacks were shrunken turtles, Blucher would personally come to the door and break their turtle shells.
Of course, Blucher's plan to break the tortoise shell was stillborn, because the Cossacks had sent troops, and the smoke and dust in the sky and the sound of tens of thousands of horses' hooves beating on the earth made it impossible to hide the Cossacks' tracks, and by thirty miles from Bern, the Cossacks' whereabouts were already exposed.
The Prussian trumpets immediately sounded in the town of Bourne, and countless Prussian soldiers rushed out of their tents or houses, and the soldiers rushed to the entrance of the town in a panic under the command of the officers, and lined up in a defensive formation there, and at the same time, the artillerymen hurriedly pushed out a piece of artillery out of the warehouse, and a team of logistics soldiers immediately took out the shells and piled them on the side of the artillery.
Blucher picked up the telescope and looked over, but he couldn't see anything, only a large patch of smoke and dust in the telescope, and when he saw this, Brucher's heart suddenly became vigilant.
It stands to reason that thirty miles is not very far for the Cossack cavalry, and it can be completed in more than an hour, but until the Prussian army has completed the preparations for war, the Russian army has not yet appeared, what is going on, Blucher wondered.
But just as Blucher raised his binoculars to watch, someone in a place not far away was also holding a telescope and looking at the formation of the Prussian army.
This man was none other than Plivsky, and behind him there were nearly 2,000 Cossack cavalrymen, who were not on horses, but stood on the ground and quietly led their horses.
I saw that the hooves of the war horses were wrapped in a thick layer of linen, and the cage cover on the horse's head was pulled to the tightest, and some war horses were very uncomfortable, but there was no big problem under the comfort of the knight.
There was an atmosphere of tension throughout the woods, the most tense of which was of course Plivesky, who could not be nervous, and if the Prussians had seen through his plan, the odds of victory in this attack would have been greatly reduced, and perhaps it would have been a complete failure.
In fact, Plivsky's plan was very simple, he led the army out of the city and divided the cavalry into two groups, one group was composed of hundreds of cavalry, these cavalry had branches tied to the tails of their horses, and they also drove a herd of horses, these horses were not worthy of war horses, but the bluff was definitely enough.
The other wave consisted of nearly 2,000 cavalry, and when the two groups of cavalry separated, Plevsky immediately ordered everyone to control their horses as much as possible and not to make any loud noise, and ordered the cavalry to tie their horses' hooves with linen.
The Cossack cavalry, who had been fighting in the steppes of Eastern Europe for many years, certainly knew what Privsky's intention was, and it was often used by tribes who raided the enemy in the steppes, and by the time the enemy found out, it was too late.
So many Cossack cavalry horses would have these things in their small bags on horseback, so that they could come in handy when they were used.
Privsky hoped that the Cossack cavalry of several hundred men would create the atmosphere of a large army marching, so as to divert the attention of the Prussians, and then he quietly reached the Prussians with nearly 2,000 cavalry, and when the Prussians could not resist their suspicions and wanted to find out, it was a good time for him to show his might.
Fortunately, this Cossack cavalry is a master of this kind, and for the time being, Plevsky is very satisfied with the performance of both groups of cavalry, and now he is waiting for the Prussian army to leak a flaw.
