After Potemkin's order was given, the entire Russian military camp came to life, looking at the intermittent snow outside, all the soldiers were praying for the snow to stop, because then they could go out in style with a proper name, and then vent all the resentment accumulated in their stomachs during this time.
Soon, the snow stopped the next day, not only that, but even the sun rarely came out and showed a face to everyone, seeing this situation, the huge cheers in the Russian military camp were deafening, and even the Polish defenders in the city of Kazakhburg were alarmed by the Russian army, but when the sentry saw the Russian army just cheering, he didn't take it to heart, thinking that these Russian troops had eaten too much and had no place to vent.
Potemkin sat steadily in the tent, with a rare smile on his face, and the generals sitting at the bottom also changed their usual image, and they all cleaned it from beginning to end as if they were going on a blind date, which was really rare.
And this time, unlike yesterday, all the generals sat on their chairs with their backs straight, and at the same time set their eyes on Potemkin.
Because after all, most of the areas near Kazakhstan were subordinated to Russia, so Potemkin deliberately issued a grounding order during the attack on Kazakhstan to prevent disturbance of the people, so during this time, neither the generals nor the low-level soldiers had ever stepped out of the barracks except for the battlefield.
It's just that this time I came mainly to arrange the sequence of going out to sweep and stay behind, everyone knows the truth that there is no hand when the hand is fast, and the person went out first.
You must have snatched all the good things, and the most you left for yourself is leftovers, so everyone is gathered here today to discuss who comes first and who comes later.
"Okay, looking at everyone's expressions, I think everyone knows what happened to call you over today, I won't say much gossip, you all come to draw lots, whoever draws the lot, there is red at the bottom of the lot, and whoever goes out with the army to sweep first, do you understand what I mean?"
Potemkin knew that there was no market for a tirade at this moment, so he tried to be as concise and clear as possible.
"Understood" "Got it" .................
The generals of the Russian army in the tent should be one after another.
Then Potemkin clapped his hands, and from behind him came an attendant with a pen holder with a lot of wooden sticks stuck in it, which would determine the order of the outing.
Of course, this lottery is not drawn by the bigwigs above, but by those regimental commanders, because if the bigwigs want to go out, they can go out with any army.
The hopes of a regiment and thousands of commanders are pinned on these Russian commanders, and these regiment commanders are also more nervous than the battle.
These leaders were not allowed to scold their brothers to death, and this was an opportunity to make a fortune.
Everyone wants to go out first and be able to sweep up the good stuff.
Under the eyes of everyone, the pen holder was placed on a small wooden table specially placed not far from Potemkin "Come up and draw them one by one, one-third of the wooden skewers here are red, whoever draws them can be the first to go" As he spoke, Potemkin motioned to the regimental commanders to come forward and draw lots Walking in the front was a regiment commander under Kryvisky, who walked up to Potemkin tremblingly and picked up left and right, seeing him behaving like this, Potemkin suddenly scolded with dissatisfaction: "You idiot is buying groceries, why don't you pull them out for me.
Then roll to the side."
Hearing Potemkin's scolding, the regiment commander immediately shook his hand, and then miraculously, a wooden skewer whose tail was dyed red was shaken out by him "Lucky boy, get me out of the way.
When it's all done here, you can go out with your people, and remember to be back on time tomorrow evening anyway.
Otherwise, it will be dealt with by military law."
Seeing this, Potemkin also smiled dumbly, and then reminded the officer to pay attention to the time Seeing that this regimental commander was so lucky, the officers behind cast jealous glances at him "Get out of here after I finish pumping, whoever dares to rub it any longer, just leave it for me!"
Seeing that the second officer had a tendency to imitate the first, Potemkin immediately scolded Under the coercion of Bojiangjin's eyes, the second officer had no choice but to pull out a wooden stick, but the end of the wooden stick did not change color, and the officer had to cry and walk aside. ............................
After all the lots were drawn, the lucky ones who drew the red lots smiled happily, while those who didn't draw on the other side were depressed, but anyway, the lottery was finished.
"You lucky ones go back and pack up, each regiment goes to get some carts from the logistics officer, remember that all the Poles you see are not allowed to be killed, bring them all back to me, and you must come back by evening the day after tomorrow at most, otherwise I will make you die an ugly death, okay, get out" Potemkin's threat was naturally a reminder to these officers, they had run too far, and there would be no accidents when the time came, and the last word landed, and these officers cheered like children, and then rushed to their camp happily.
One of Kulichkov's regiments drew a red lot, so he was ready to go out with him, but Krivisky and others were like this, so after the sweeping special team left, the top of the entire Russian army was left with Potemkin and Kutuzov, and the other generals ran with the team.
But just after the teams had departed, Kutuzov sighed when he saw Potemkin "Your Excellency, are you alright?"
"Kutuzov, do you think it's good or bad for me to do this" Potemkin asked Kutuzov "This, Your Excellency Marshal, this should be good for the battle."
Looking at Kutuzov, who was a little evasive, Potemkin suddenly felt very bottomless in his heart, the destructive power of such a large number of tiger wolves released to the entire region can be imagined, this is more than 10,000 Russian regular army, more than 10,000 tiger wolves, and it is a tiger wolf that has been holding back for a long time.
The most fundamental thing for a country to be strong is stability, although Poland is not the territory of the Russians now, but Potemkin's move will definitely make more Poles join the ranks of hating the Russians, which is absolutely not beneficial to Russia's rule over Poland in the future, Potemkin understands this truth, but under Kulichkov's strong persuasion, Potemkin still made a compromise.
Although Potemkin is one of the largest figures in Russia, whether an army can produce a cohesive force depends on whether the generals can convince the soldiers in the army.
So although Potemkin is very unhappy, there is no way, and the Russian army can't afford it at the moment.
Naturally, the Russian army's abnormal movements could not escape the eyes of the Polish sentries on the walls of Kazakhburg, and when the sentries told Yevisky the news that the Russian army had dispersed in large groups, Yevisky was also stunned.
At present, the first snow has just fallen when the weather is cold, and there are only two possibilities for the Russian army to divide its forces at this time, one is that the Russian generals decide to take advantage of the weakness of the Poles to capture the surrounding cities, and the other is to bypass Kazakhstan Fort and march to Warsaw.
Let's talk about the first possibility first, no matter what kind of heart he is in, Yevsky really has no luck in whether the cities around Kazakhburg will resist the Russian army, and those wall-to-wall aristocrats will definitely surrender to the Russians when the war situation is unfavorable, which is simply beyond doubt in Yevsky's opinion.
The other said that the Russians were preparing to bypass the Kazakh Fort and march into Warsaw, Yevisky was also a little incredulous, although it seems that the Russian army has divided a lot of troops, but for a fortified city like Warsaw, there is no possibility of the Russian army taking Warsaw, unless the Russians have a lot of undercover agents in Warsaw.
Yevisky, who was in a hurry, raised his telescope again and looked at the Russian barracks, only to see that the movements of the Russian troops were heading east, so the second possibility was overturned in Yevisky's mind.
What exactly do the Russians want to do?
Yevisky, who didn't have a clue to break his head, decided not to worry about the movements of the Russian army anymore, but there was another problem plaguing him at the moment, that is, there was not much ammunition and wound medicine in the city, and the fierce fighting for such a long time had exhausted the supplies in the city, and fortunately, the food and grass in the city were still enough to eat for a while.
In order to get supplies, Yevisky has sent seven or eight groups of emissaries to Warsaw, but so far Yevisky has not received an accurate reply.
Yevisky also thought about breaking through, but looking at the Russian troops outside the city, Yevisky knew that the success rate of the breakthrough was very low, so low that they didn't dare to try at all, and their holding of Kazakh Fort was like a nail into the heart of the Russians, so that the Russians could only take action against Warsaw after conquering Kazakhburg, otherwise the Russians could only obediently stay in Kazakhburg and Yevisky to dry up.
What Yevisky didn't see was that not long after the Russian army divided its forces, the towns around Kazakhburg were almost wiped out.
Countless Russian soldiers poured into every building they could see, and then looted everything they saw and considered valuable.
Although there are local sheriffs waving Russian flags in these towns that have been plagued by the Russian army, they are waiting for them with Russian butcher knives.
