Facing the Qing army's advance, the Tsarist Russians could only passively defend.
Under the orders of their officers, Tsarist Russian soldiers began to set up camp on the vast plains.
There was artillery fire from the Qing army in the distance, and the rising smoke filled half of the sky.
"These Qing troops do not respect martial ethics, so they can only choose to defend in place."
Kutuzov put down his telescope, called a group of officers, and began to set up their positions.
More than 25,000 people dug trenches and set up barriers on the flat ground.
Logistics trucks filled with supplies were gathered into the Chinese army, tents were erected one by one, and the camp gradually grew in size.
Under the attack of the Qing army's dragoons, this process would take at least two days.
Kutuzov finally heaved a sigh of relief when the good-natured dragoons withdrew due to lack of gunpowder and lead bullets.
He knew that the Qing army would not let them go like this. The only thing he could do now was to organize defenses in the position and wait for the Cossack cavalry from the south to come for support.
Kutuzov is looking at the map in the camp.
At this time, a knight entered the camp with a hurried look.
"Marshal, there is an emergency report coming from near Kazan. A small group of Qing troops are attacking the supply route!"
"What?"
Kutuzov was stunned.
Where Kazan is, he knows better than others.
"It's over, it's over!"
In Yekaterinaburg, the largest military conference since the Qing Dynasty's Western Expedition is being held.
Emperor Jiaqing and Emperor Daoguang were sitting at the top. On their left was Duo Shan, the general of Zhenguo, and on their right was Xu Ming, the commander of the Qing Dynasty.
On both sides of the conference table sat the civil and military ministers of the Qing Dynasty.
Yang Yuchun, Wu Da, Wu Er, Nasimov, Petro...
All the high-ranking generals of the Qing Dynasty were present. Everyone looked solemn, and the weak candlelight made everyone more majestic.
On the long table, there is a map.
Starting from Novosibirsk and ending near Yekaterinaburg, the huge land in between is dyed blue.
This is the country I built!
Emperor Jiaqing looked around and finally fixed his gaze on the map.
He stood up to launch his pre-battle speech.
"Everyone, since the Xinyou Kingdom was difficult to come (referring to the Qing Dynasty's loss of Peiping in 1801), our Qing Dynasty's only remaining New Army crossed the grasslands, fought in the North Sea, and entered Novosibirsk.
During this journey of 6,000 miles, we will be victorious and conquerable. "
Emperor Jiaqing glanced at the two former Tsarist Russian officers and continued to speak.
"Since the fall of the Qing Dynasty, we have once again conquered a huge territory.
It is not an exaggeration to compare me to the great ancestor, and I am slightly better than the great ancestor.
As for my Amma, it’s okay not to mention it. "
Emperor Jiaqing looked down upon Qianlong very much at this time.
No good deeds have been done, but a lot of bad deeds have been done.
Even after finding out about the Aisin Gioro royal family, Jiaqing sadly discovered that only half of the emperors in the history of the Qing Dynasty could be considered emperors, and that was Yongzheng.
Each of the others is considered a tribal chief rather than an emperor, or even worse than a tribal chief.
How can any tribal chief persecute his own relatives?
After arriving here, Jiaqing discovered that what he wanted to do was not the ancestor, but the ancestor, the Taizu.
“In that haunting land of the East, we have lost everything.
So in the West, I, the Qing Dynasty, will make double the money back!
In addition to completely solving the threat of Kutuzov, this meeting will also discuss the future strategic direction of our Qing Dynasty.
Please feel free to speak your mind! "
After Emperor Jiaqing finished his opening remarks, he handed over the issue to his generals for discussion, while he sat upright and listened, acting like a hanging emperor.
The Qing Dynasty could not remain a nomadic empire forever. In today's industrialized world, a large population and vast land were what Jiaqing needed.
For the sake of population and land, the Qing army needed to change its previous strategy from nomadic plunder to siege and land siege.
Duo Shan and Yang Yuchun looked at each other and had the answer in their hearts.
This meeting did not last long, but it clarified the strategic focus of the Qing Dynasty.
The Qing Dynasty needed to go south and evacuate all soldiers and civilians from Novosibirsk while avoiding the cold winter.
The next target of the Qing Dynasty's strategy was no longer Tsarist Russia, but the Ottoman Empire and Constantinople.
The Mediterranean Sea, the Black Sea, the Caspian Sea and the land in between will be the core area of the Qing Dynasty in the future.
Two days later, two missions left Yekaterinaburg.
A mission headed east, preparing to try to get in touch with the Ming Dynasty. Although the relationship between the two parties was not good, Jiaqing still wanted to restore trade with the Ming Dynasty as much as possible.
Another mission went south to negotiate with the Junggar Khanate and explore the possibility of a presidential system in the Qing Dynasty.
If this strategy can be approved by Lutros, then an extremely powerful empire will appear in Eurasia.
Kutuzov didn't know what the Qing Dynasty was doing, because he was already very worried.
"Why haven't the supplies arrived yet?"
Kutuzov slapped his pistol on the table. He had never experienced such frustration before and roared at the officers almost at the top of his lungs.
Even on the European continent, under the military pressure of Napoleon, they had never lost their composure like they did today.
Twenty-five thousand troops were besieged on the plain, and the Qing dragoons prevented Kutuzov from dividing his troops.
On the great plain entering Yekaterinaburg, the Russians never got a grain of rice from the rear.
All the messenger soldiers sent out lost contact.
So much so that the army now had to fight the Qing army on an empty stomach.
"Report~"
"Qing infantry appears in the north of our army!"
"Qing infantry appears to the south of our army!"
"Qing infantry appears to the east of our army!"
"Where's Simeon?"
"To the west is the dragoon!"
"Suka BuLei!"
Kutuzov mounted his horse, pulled out his telescope and looked at the distant skyline.
I saw three brigades of the Qing Guards Division surrounding the Tsarist Russian army from three directions.
The Qing army was not in a hurry to attack, but was waiting for something.
Just fifteen minutes later, a cannon blast from the skyline reached the eardrums of both sides.
The Qing artillery brigade was firing at a rapid rate, and countless artillery shells flew through the crowd and hit the Tsarist Russian positions.
Since the artillery brigade's artillery was relatively unified, the artillery officers began unscrupulous precision artillery fire.
The outer positions of the Tsarist Russians were gradually defeated.
The counterattack of the Tsarist Russian artillery was met with a devastating blow by the Qing artillery brigade after only two rounds of shelling.
The concentrated use of artillery appeared for the first time in the vision of Western armies.
Previously, Western countries had a relatively primitive concept of using artillery. Generally, a square of musketeers was equipped with one artillery, which was used as fire support for the confrontation between the two armies.
In the East, as early as the Songjin War, when Huang Taiji fought with the Ming army, he began to concentrate heavy artillery groups for artillery battles.
Whether it is fire suppression or the destruction of enemy artillery, good results can be achieved.
Kutuzov saw the artillery position being destroyed, and when he looked at the Qing troops again, his face turned livid.
The Qing infantry attack began.
The coordinated operation of infantry and artillery allowed the barbarians in the West to witness with their own eyes the Qing army, with the continuous support of artillery fire, easily penetrated the peripheral defenses of the Tsarist Russians.
When the first breakthrough was opened, all the Qing troops took action.
The first battle of the 1st Guards Division was the decisive battle.
Only one wave of attacks defeated Kutuzov's regiment, known as the elite of Tsarist Russia.
The land was full of fleeing Tsarist Russians.
"Hmph! Elites, what the hell are elites? I'm fighting elites."
In the distance, Emperor Jiaqing finally felt relieved when he saw that the battle situation had been decided.
