The situation on the battlefield did not change because of Potemkin's wishful thinking, and by the evening of the next day, his riding boots still did not get on the walls of the Kazakh fort.
Of course, in order to maintain the authority of his commander, Potemkin, after seeing this situation, did use a few less obedient and lowly officers as scapegoats and sent them to the front line to charge with those ordinary big-headed soldiers.
Potemkin's approach is very shocking to the arrogant generals of the Russian army, of course, for Potemkin's fierce methods, the generals are a little angry but dare not speak, after all, in the previous battle, everyone has done their best, and there is no way to deal with this situation now, and now Potemkin's punishment is completely unjustified.
But it can't be helped, as a subordinate of others, especially when the superior is annoyed, you have no way to defend yourself, and Potemkin will not accept those justifications.
The Russian army's attack is becoming more and more ferocious day by day, and Yevisky, who is defending the city, is also a little anxious, there are so many troops in the city, and now they have not taken advantage of a defensive position from the Russians, and the disadvantage of the war situation can be imagined.
"What do you say, there are reinforcements coming from Warsaw?"
"Yes, chief, about four thousand reinforcements have just entered the city through the west gate, and they claim to be reinforcements from Warsaw, and they have brought a letter from King Auguste."
With that, Mirian handed the letter he was holding to Yevisky, who hurriedly took it.
"Your Excellency, I thank you very much for your contribution to the kingdom, and in order not to let you fight alone in Kazakhburg, I have sent five thousand troops to support you, of course, I know that these troops are a drop in the bucket for the situation at the front, but please believe that I have no mobile forces at my disposal.
The situation in Warsaw is very strange now, and many nobles do not have your noble character at such a time of national crisis, although I don't know what they want to do, but I think for the Kingdom of Poland.
What they want to do must not be a good thing, so now I will give you the last of my troops, and I hope that you will be able to hold on, and the hope of the Kingdom of Poland will be entrusted to you!
” Nothing is more important than understanding, obviously in moments like these.
Yevisky understood Auguste's difficulty.
And the same is true of August, otherwise August would not have sent five thousand reinforcements to aid Kazakhstan at all, but why five thousand would become four thousand, Yevisky was a little puzzled.
"Mirian.
You go to the reinforcements and find out why they are missing a thousand men, and tell their commander that I can only give them a half-day rest, half a day later.
They have to go to the front line."
"As you wish, my chief" With that, Mirian left Yevisky's side. ...............
"What do you say?
Five thousand Polish reinforcements entered Kazakhstan."
"I think so, Your Excellency Marshal" A Russian cavalry general answered Potemkin's question head-on "Waste, you are all waste, didn't I deploy a battalion of cavalry to the west, why didn't such important news come immediately!"
Enraged, Potemkin pulled out his glove and threw it at the head of the cavalry general standing in front of him.
"Your Excellency, our lads have done their best, and they are only four hundred.
Against 5,000 enemy troops, and when I received the news, I thought that our boys might have been all loyal to the Empire."
The general didn't seem to like Potemkin's questioning, and in order to preserve the honor of the Imperial cavalry, he retorted loudly.
The general's rebuttal silenced Potemkin for a moment.
It's not that he doesn't understand the difference in strength between the enemy and us, it's just that his heart is already messed up because of the unfavorable situation of the battle, but fortunately, Potemkin is still a little sensible and doesn't let people drag this general to the front line of the battlefield to charge.
You must know that during this time, many Russian generals were cleaned up by Potemkin in this way.
"Well, there's some truth to what you say.
This time, forget it, immediately send two more battalions of cavalry to the west of Kazakhstan Fort to guard, if this situation happens again, I will let you attack Kazakh Fort like everyone else, you know what I mean" "Yes, Your Excellency Marshal" Saying that, the cavalry general secretly breathed a sigh of relief, he thought of the worst outcome when he refuted Potemkin, and now that Potemkin has not dealt with him, it can already be said that it is God's favor. .....................
"Your Excellency Chief, those reinforcements encountered the obstruction of the Russian cavalry on the way, and they also managed to defeat the Russian army and rushed here, but they suffered a lot of losses in the battle" "Well, got it, by the way, you're going to tell everyone about the arrival of reinforcements."
Hearing Mirian's report, Yevisky didn't react much, but the slightly trembling beard at the corners of his mouth revealed his true mood.
Obviously, the arrival of this reinforcement army greatly boosted Yevisky's fighting spirit, at least at this moment, even 4,000 reinforcements can play a huge role, at least the defense time can be longer.
Sure enough, just as Yevisky had predicted, when the soldiers in the city learned that they had reinforcements arriving, cheers rang out in the sky, and the arrival of reinforcements was like a shot in the heart of everyone, except for the Russian army, of course.
The time has unconsciously come to the end of November, and the Russian army has been blocked by Yevsky under the city of Kazakhburg for 20 days, during these 20 days Potemkin did not want to attack Kazakhstan Fort all the time, but Yevisky's tight defense made him have no chance to take advantage of it, and on the tenth day of the attack on Kazakhburg, Potemkin had to make a painful decision, that is, to apply for reinforcements from St.
Petersburg.
The 60,000 Russian troops who originally marched into Poland are now less than 40,000, and what broke Potemkin's heart even more was that the Russian military camp was full of pessimism, everyone knew that winter in Eastern Europe came early, although the Russian imperial ** team was not afraid of winter battles, and even winter was still their home field for them, but as the attacking side, the Russian soldiers no longer regarded the enemy in the city of Kazakhburg as a weak Polish army, and now they regarded the defenders in the city as equal to themselves.
Potemkin, who boasted of pacifying Poland before Christmas, became more and more impatient as time went on, and even his beloved general Kutuzov was reprimanded by him many times.
Of course, Potemkin's mood is understandable to the generals of the Russian army, after all, it is not because of the incompetence of the Russian army, but because the defenders of Kazakhburg have exerted an unusual combat effectiveness, which makes the generals of the Russian army helpless.
The war in Poland was full of twists and turns, and in Vienna, with the news of the success of the peace talks between Prussia and Russia, Joseph II was very depressed in his palace.
As Emperor of the Holy Roman Empire, Joseph II could not bear to be defeated by one of the princes of the Empire, and another empire that competed with the Habsburgs for the title of Roman heir was also a thorn in his side.
Originally, Joseph II pinned his hopes that it would be better for the two countries to fight to the death, but now that the peace talks between the two countries have been held, his hopes have been disappointed, and Joseph II is not depressed.
Of course, there is another news that makes his depressed mood a little better, that is, the Russian situation in Poland is not going well, the latest intelligence shows that Potemkin has been firmly blocked from Warsaw by the Poles, and it is said that Potemkin even asked St.
Petersburg for help, which makes Joseph II a little relieved and a little unbelievable.
When did the Polish army be so powerful, and it could still hold out so much under the siege of 60,000 Russian troops, it was really unseemly, thinking of this, Joseph II wondered if Austria could seek some benefits from it.

Thinking about it, Joseph II felt that it was becoming more and more feasible, so he called his prime minister, Kaunitz "Your Excellency, you see that Russia's actions in Poland are not going well, should we in Austria give some help to our dear friends?"
Joseph II's culture stunned Kanitz for a moment, and then Kaunitz thought to himself that his imperial majesty was really a little lonely.
But I have to say that Joseph II's idea seems to be really good, and now Russia seems to be in a position to fall into the quagmire of Poland, if Austria takes advantage of the fire to rob at this time, maybe it can really get some benefits, thinking of this, Kanitz said: "Your Majesty is really wise and martial, just now Your Majesty's thoughts, the minister thought about it, if it is operated properly, it is indeed somewhat feasible" "Oh, Your Excellency Prime Minister, you agree with my idea."
Hearing that Kaunitz was a little moved, Joseph II was a little excited, and it was rare that Kaunitz, who was known as the fox of diplomacy, would agree to his diplomatic strategy.
"Your Majesty, the minister means that this kind of thing cannot only be rushed to the front by our Austrian family, we may have to let Prussia speak with us in one voice" Hearing Kaunitz mention Prussia, Joseph II's face suddenly became dissatisfied, and of course he would not forget the rude demands made to him by the little William of Prussia after the Austro-Prussian War.
Seeing that Joseph II was a little hesitant because he mentioned Prussia, Kaunitz, who felt more and more that Austria should not give up this opportunity, immediately said: "Your Majesty, what we are doing now is to strengthen Austria, and only when Austria is strong can Prussia be trampled under our feet" "Oh........
Well, I'll leave it to Your Excellency the Prime Minister this time."
Saying that, Joseph II waved his hand with great interest, and motioned for Kaunitz to stand aside, obviously his opinion of Prussia was not ordinarily large.
But it's no wonder who made Prussia offend Austria so badly!
