From a son-in-law to a favorite of the empress

Chapter 1079

On the top of a high mountain, looking up at the sky.

The dark sky was filled with dark clouds, like surging sewage about to pour down. The summer heat was gone at this moment, but the strong wind blew, which actually made people feel cool.

Colonel Andrei didn't like to drink. Even in normal times, he didn't drink a drop of alcohol, so that he could stay rational.

Sobriety is the source of a person's confidence and the foundation of sharpness.

Artyom was different. He liked the relaxation of alcohol that made his mind slow, so that he was a little confused now.

"Are we going to die here?"

He took a sip of vodka, burped, and murmured: "I don't want to die yet. I have four sons, and I haven't trained them yet."

Andrei didn't want to pay attention to such drunken talk. He just lit the lamp and looked at the map in his hand.

Artyom continued, "Don't wait any longer! August 2nd has already passed! We can hold out for six days at most!"

"Commander Gumanyev won't come to rescue us. He's been blocked. He must have been blocked."

"After all, it's the flood season. The Songhua River is not so easy to cross. We are going to be surrounded to death."

"Just find an opportunity, kill while it's dark, and try to break through."

"Even if you die on the battlefield, it's better than starving to death later."

Andrei couldn't stand his noise, frowned and said, "If you can't stay awake, go to sleep. The Jin army won't attack in a short time."

Artyom said, "Of course they won't attack. They are determined to surround us to death. 120,000 people, a full 120,000 people. I How can we fight!"

Andrei said slowly: "Don't think that Commander Gumanyev can't fight. He can't get the position of expedition commander just by relying on connections. In fact, he has extraordinary war wisdom."

"He knows our importance. He will not give up on us. Even if he encounters difficulties, he will try his best to come over."

"Be quiet, just wait patiently."

Artyom raised his head and said in a trembling voice: "Colonel Andrei, I... I don't have confidence..."

Andrei sneered: "Do you think the army of Dajin has confidence? The most tested thing in war is will! Whoever persists to the end is the winner."

...

After chasing for two consecutive days, it was not until the night of August 4 that Zhou Yuan finally ordered to set up camp and rest for a night.

In the tent, Luo Kun, Liu Daguang, and Hong Bo were all there. With Zhou Yuan, all the old friends of Wucheng Bingmasi were there.

Liu Daguang pointed at the map and said, "Heshi is very busy now. Six regiments of the Beijing Camp are stationed in the north of Heshi. Min Tianrui's Northwest Army has arrived, which is equivalent to a 100,000-man army stored there."

"Gumanyev's 70,000 are stored in the south of Heshi. Now, two days ago, a large army of Sayihe Guard also rushed to Heshi, trying to attack from both sides and devour our 100,000-man army."

Speaking of this, he couldn't help laughing and said, "Now Heshi has become a powder keg, which will explode at any time."

"Gumanyev is really radical, boss, he is so Does he really want a decisive battle, or does he have other purposes? "

Zhou Yuan said slowly: "The decisive battle is just a cover. Andrei has 60,000 elite troops, not 60,000 prisoners. Gumanyev will never give up."

"He is still trying to find a way to cross the river. There are many boats in Heshi. He may want to use the pressure of the reinforcements of the Sayi River Guard Reserve to force Liu Fang to give up his position so that he can cross the river in Heshi without worry."

"Who knows that Liu Fang is also a hard-headed person. He has already withdrawn from the Heshi area, but he just won't go far. As soon as you organize a river crossing, he will come over immediately. Who dares to mess around?"

"So small-scale battles are inevitable. Liu Fang and Min Tianrui are in a bad situation now. If they don't pay attention, they will suffer heavy losses."

"Because we estimate that Gumanyev's reserve force is at least 50,000 to 60,000 people. With the 70,000 people here, Min Tianrui and Liu Fang will be attacked from the front and back. That won't be easy for them."

Luo Kun smiled and said, "So we speed up to the lower reaches of Heshi and hang behind Gumanyev, forcing him not to let go. If a fight breaks out, we can press on from the side and rear."

"No!"

Hong Bo couldn't help but yelled: "Now the Beijing Camp and the Northwest Army have crossed the river to the other side. Guhewei and the north of Meishan have been air defense. Gumanyev won't have other means to cross the river? If they get in, it will be over."

Zhou Yuan smiled and said: "That's why I didn't choose to cross the river at the first time, but chased north first. The scouts of the Yehe tribe have been sent out. As long as Gumanyev has any movement, I can receive the news at the first time."

"No matter what medicine he sells in the gourd, we are fully prepared and we are not afraid of taking the challenge."

"And GumanyevThis move of Gumanyev was also muddled, exposing the position of his reserve troops inexplicably, which made us feel more at ease. "

...

Anxiously looking at the map and pacing back and forth in the tent, the adjutant couldn't help shouting: "Captain Gumanyev, our current situation is very dangerous. Fifty miles to the northwest, there are about 100,000 people gathered. Now Zhou Yuan's remaining 30,000 people are biting up again... It will be too late if we don't leave!"

"Even if our reserve troops have been on the move for two days, there are 50,000 people over there, plus more than 70,000 people here, which can only keep the number of people equal to that of the other side. How can we fight a decisive battle!"

Gumanyev drank and said slowly: "Who told you that I want to fight a decisive battle?"

The adjutant was stunned and murmured: "If we don't fight a decisive battle, what are we doing here?"

Gumanyev smiled and said: "There are boats here. What's the problem with finding some boats here? Isn't the so-called decisive battle just everyone guessing each other? "

The adjutant chuckled and couldn't help saying, "So we don't fight. Commander-in-Chief really scared me. Now is not a good time for a decisive battle!"

Gumanyev said, "Don't use your wisdom to guess me. I am angry, but that doesn't mean I will do stupid things to die."

The adjutant immediately laughed and said, "Commander-in-Chief is famous! God is unparalleled! I have always admired him!"

After speaking, he suddenly took out a box from his arms, opened it and said, "Commander, this is a magic medicine bought from Shanxi merchants, commonly known as the Vajra Buddha Stick. After taking it, you will be twice as brave and can even pry the chariot..."

Gumanyev's face turned blue, and then turned red.

He stood up, clenched his fists, and said word by word, "Even you...even you dare to...dare to mock me! You are all rebelling! "

He punched him and started beating him violently. His hands were tired, and he panted and shouted, "Get out! Swallow the medicine! Then go back to your tent! Don't see anyone tonight!"

"Otherwise... I'll cut you off!"

The adjutant wanted to cry but had no tears. He said in a trembling voice, "Sir... I... I also have good intentions!"

Gumanyev grabbed his collar and said word by word, "I said, don't use your wisdom to guess me!"

"Why do you think I want a decisive battle?"

"Why do you think I need this?"

"Why do you think... I only have a reserve team?"

He threw the adjutant out and said grimly, "I said, I won't give up Andrei. He is a hero of our Tsarist Empire!"

"Let's wait and see in this battle! "

...

Sometimes you will hate some things.

But if you don't do them for too long, you will miss them.

It was a dark and windy night, and everyone was asleep. It was just the right time to be bored!

Chu Feifan looked at the rushing river and dove in. The cool feeling covered his whole body, and the familiar taste surged into his heart.

He swam happily in the water and couldn't help shouting, "Awesome!"

"I haven't swum for a long time. I'm addicted to it, haha!"

He grinned, and his smile gradually solidified.

Because he saw a series of flames at the end of the southern lake, densely packed like countless long dragons gathering, and they were coming here quickly.

Chu Feifan jumped up, opened his mouth wide, and finally couldn't help shouting, "Enemy attack! Enemy attack!"
