The situation in the Far East has reversed. The core of the storm has begun to shift. Vladivostok is no longer the most dangerous place. The crossfire line has begun to move northward towards Heilongjiang.
In fact, the Amur River has not been called the Amur River since ancient times. This was a transliteration given to Heilongjiang after the Tsarist Russian expedition came here.
Heilongjiang was called Black Water in ancient times, not because of serious pollution, but because the two sides of the river have very fertile humus soil, which is commonly known as black soil. Therefore, against the black soil on both sides of the river, the river looks as black as ink. The ancients believed that here There is a black dragon living there, so it is called Heilongjiang or Blackwater River.
The pronunciation of Blackwater in Russian is Amur, so the river was marked as the Amur River on Russian maps. Of course, at that time, it was just a family opinion of Tsarist Russia, and maps of various countries still had to use the official name of the Qing Dynasty.
It was not until the signing of the Beijing Treaty between China and Russia that all the territory from the confluence of the Ussuri River into the Heilongjiang River to the estuary was ceded to Tsarist Russia. From then on, the lower reaches of the Ussuri River Estuary could no longer use the name Heilongjiang. It was renamed the Amur River on global maps.
A great river records two hundred years of disputes between two nations. Wars, negotiations, and conspiracies were staged at each other, and finally a Chinese inland river became China's boundary river.
Sister Wu's actions changed the general situation in the Far East. Xiang Shaolong and Xiao Letian placed their bets on the Kirigakure kid. They firmly believed that Kirigakure kid's actions would lead to victory.
Of course, this is a helpless choice, because if the Kirigakure kid's rebellion fails and 30,000 Cossacks detour from the hinterland of the Qing Dynasty and join the vanguard under the city of Vladivostok, then Xiao Letian must admit that the current volunteer army cannot defeat them at all. .
Therefore, regardless of whether the main force of 20,000 is in Vladivostok, as long as the Cossacks unite in one place, the result is doomed to failure. Since staying behind is a dead end, then we should bet on the fate of the country. If Sister Wu and the others succeed, then the Amur River will It will become a natural barrier.
After blocking the 30,000 Cossack reinforcements, the remaining 10,000 cavalrymen of Gogol and Furmanov are the turtles in the urn, and they can do whatever they want at that time.
This is a race against time. The war in Vladivostok is still raging. Gogol and Furmanov tried every means to break through the Chinese positions, but they underestimated the power of the Chinese artillery. Construction speed of engineers.
The defense line was lengthening and thickening at a speed visible to the naked eye. The artillery group behind the position seemed to have endless ammunition. Under the guidance of the hot air balloon in the sky, it slaughtered these tired Cossacks in droves.
Tsarist Russia's fleet has become a frightened rat on the sea. Several consecutive failed breakouts and the sinking of the flagship have broken their backs. Now that they have run out of ammunition and food, no one can hope to break out.
What worries Tsarist Russia even more is that the Chinese have strong shipping capabilities. There are ships on the sea transporting supplies day and night. The smell of meat wafting from the Chinese positions every day almost drives these Cossacks crazy.
The Chinese fought too tenaciously, and the samurai from Fuso were even more crazy. At the most critical moments of the position, these lunatics with swords actually dared to launch counterattacks in the direction of the horse's assault, saving the position several times. crisis.
"Just wait. When the legion commander arrives, we will trample you to death..." Gogol swore countless times.
Harsh words can't change the situation of the battle. The two Cossack division commanders didn't know that right now, three teams were desperately heading north.
The fleet led by Xiao Letian and Xiang Shaolong headed north from the Sea of Japan to the mouth of the Amur River, where they would march on the ice and occupy all the ferries.
General Hunchun and the Kirigakure kid headed north from Ninggu Pagoda and took a shortcut straight to the border fortress Aihui City, where a confrontation with Tepu Xin was brewing.
In the mountains and forests to the west of Ninggu Pagoda, five scattered cavalry units have been disguised as the most common caravans, beards, and horse bandits outside the customs, and their scattered troops are targeting Qiqihar.
"Accelerate, accelerate! I must see Qiqihar City within four days!" Vice General Lin roared to boost the morale of the soldiers.
"This raid can only succeed and not fail! Everyone who is alive after the incident will be promoted to the third level with three thousand taels of silver! Don't be afraid of those who died in the battle. The ten thousand taels of pension will never escape you, and your parents are in the General's Mansion. I’ve raised it for you!”
"Brothers, your benefactor also made his confession before leaving! Raising an army for a thousand days and using it for a while, even if you want to repay your kindness, you have to work hard this time, right?"
"My lord didn't say anything! Don't talk about selling your strength! Brother, I will sell all the more than 200 kilograms of flesh and blood to you today! Kill..."
The mountains were filled with the sound of galloping horse hooves. The Orion mountain people in the distance were so frightened that they fled away, wondering where this gangster was doing big business! Are you going to destroy some house? Or is it seeking personal revenge? Forget it, it has nothing to do with me, go home quickly.
West, west, keep going west! There were time limits for eating, napping, and pooping and peeing on horseback. For four whole days without sleep, Lao Lin had never been so tired in his life, but he had never been so fulfilled in his life.
Humans are really creatures that need ideal stimulation. The days of eating and waiting for death seem to be very enjoyable, but there is a wild fire burning in everyone's heart, and once given a chance, it will turn into a raging fire.
Fifteen hundred cavalry bypassed the pass, crossed the mountains, walked on the frozen river, and trampled on the snow-covered farmland. Although many people were suspicious along the way, there were many bandits outside the pass. Such a scene It's not like they haven't seen it before. The soldiers at countless checkpoints thought that the big shopkeeper wanted to do business.
"It's none of our business! Go drink and sleep! No matter how old you are, you won't dare to attack us soldiers. The stinking common people will love you to death!"
That's it, until Lao Lin saw the city wall of Qiqihar, the defenders in the city didn't know that such a group of 'bandits' were coming towards them, or even the existence of 1,500 cavalry.
Old Lin, who was hiding in the woods, was breathing heavily. He took out the temperature-sensitive telescope from his arms and carefully looked at Qiqihar, who had not been here for more than two years, but found that nothing had changed.
"Damn it, it's still the same as before! The tofu stall at the gate of the city is still there, and the proprietress's ass is still so big, it's so greedy! When the things are done, I will definitely enjoy it!"
"The garrison at the top of the city has a sentry...fuck! They are all like soft shrimps, and they are still chatting? Do they look like soldiers? The tax collector at the city gate..."
"Hey! Isn't that a bastard? Is this kid still making a fortune here? Hahaha... It would be great to have him in this city!", please pay attention.
