"Quick, quick, follow me! Keep up!"
at this time.
In the land of Central Asia, an army of 100,000 people is on the march!
These soldiers and horses come from the Putu Kingdom!
Surprisingly, it was Omar himself who led the team!
March quickly!
The urgent march of 100,000 people is still very large in scale, and a lot of work needs to be done to mobilize it.
"Khan, Khan, should we take a break..."
The people under Omar were exhausted.
"rest?"
"Have a rest!"
Omar shouted angrily: "War waits for no one, rest? We are the ones closest to Lake Balkhash now. We must be there as soon as possible, you hear me? The first time!"
The people under his hands sighed one by one.
In fact, many people privately have opinions on Omar's respect for the Longyan people. In other words, now their Putu Kingdom is also a very powerful country in Central Asia. Why was he so humble to that Longyan's Liu Shilang?
Omar sneered: "A bunch of short-sighted guys!"
“Does Putu want to develop?”
"Do you really want to become a powerful country?"
While riding fast, he shouted: "No country has ever become a powerful country by relying on its own strength. Do you understand? The world is very big and there are many countries! We need a strong alliance! Otherwise, we will be a lonely boat in the sea. There is always the danger of being swallowed up by the storm!”
The people next to him nodded.
Omar continued to sneer: "Don't you know what kind of careerists Tsarist Russia is? They have invaded our Putu many times throughout history. They are a bunch of barbarians and barbarians!"
At this time, the people under his command also believed it.
In fact, in Central Asia, most conflicts come from religious and cultural differences. The Holy See in the West, the Holy See in Central Asia itself, and the invasion of foreign religions. The Putu Kingdom has always been a loyal believer in Islam. But this Tsarist Russia is different.
Speaking of Slavic culture in Tsarist Russia, it is quite complicated.
Even in Liu Zheng's previous life, people were very unfamiliar with Slavic thought. When most people hear this word, the first thing they think of is vodka, fur, and Orthodox Christianity.
In fact, Slavic culture also originated in Europe. Historically, during the Roman Empire, they, along with the Germans and Celts, were called the three major barbarian tribes in Europe by the Romans. The following Poles, Czechs, Slovaks, Sorbs, Russians, Ukrainians, Belarusians, Rusynians, as well as Croatians, Montenegrins, and so on, all belong to the Slavs.
certainly.
As far as the current world situation is concerned, the most typical representative should still be Tsarist Russia at this time.
Russians have always been proud of their Slavic heritage.
The Slavs believed in the great god Perun. This is actually in conflict with the Islamic culture in the entire Central Asia region. Therefore, why was the Kokand Khanate never treated favorably by countries in Central Asia? Religion is the biggest reason. There is no one who wants to be a dog of Tsarist Russia and introduce Orthodox Christianity into the country.
In contrast.
The Putu Dynasty was more interested in suzerain states like Long Yan, which had a tolerant policy towards religion.
respect.
It's mutual.
In fact, this happened in Liu Zheng's previous life. After Tsarist Russia's large-scale colonization of Central Asia, the Orthodox Church still had a great influence on Central Asia.
However……
This is this life.
Omar is a staunch believer in Islam and hates Slavic culture. Because Slavic, even in Europe, was ultimately a pagan culture! Tsarist Russia wanted to invade Central Asia, but Omar was the first to refuse!
rush to the rescue!
We must rush to the rescue of Lake Balkhash as soon as possible!
In the past few days, he has not stopped for a moment. He knew that once the important military town of Lake Balkhash was lost, what a blow it would have to the entire Central Asia!
withstand!
Balkhash, you must resist!
…
The person responsible for the battle on Lake Balkhash would naturally not be a less famous general like Anton Lev.
But the famous general in the entire history of Tsarist Russia, Peter Alexandrovich Rumyantsev.
As the field marshal of the entire Tsarist Russian Empire at this time, he also knew what this war meant to Tsarist Russia. Tsarist Russia, which had just ended the Russo-Turkish War, needed a new breakthrough to realize their dream of becoming a great power. Regarding the idea of this war, Rumyantsev proposed an important strategy.
That's light on Sakhalin and heavy on Lake Balkhash.
Therefore, only 80,000 troops went to Sakhalin Island.
But Balkhash sent 200,000 troops, and there was even a steady stream of troops on the way to support.
Rumyantsev was born as a general. At the age of six, he had registered as a private in the Guards. He served as an officer at the age of fifteen and participated in the Russo-Swedish War, which established Tsarist Russia's status as a great power. At the age of eighteen, he was promoted to the infantry regiment. long. This man was definitely a very good figure in the history of Tsarist Russia. He carried forward and developed the offensive combat thinking of Peter I. He did not stick to traditional line tactics, attached great importance to the construction and use of reserve forces, emphasized frontal assault, the combination of flank assault and the close coordination of various arms.
"Marshal, a letter from Lake Balkhash."
Rumyantsev was still looking at the map of the entire Balkhash Lake under the dim light, and someone was delivering a letter next to him.
Who would have thought that Rumyantsev smiled coldly and waved his hand: "A bunch of sellers seeking glory are not worth mentioning."
In his opinion, these remnants of the Kokand Khanate were simply beyond his reach.
This is war.
When the Longyan people occupied Lake Balkhash, they had already cleared all the armed groups here and exercised strong control over weapons and equipment.
What can these ambitious old men do?
Rumyantsev believed that Tsarist Russia's army of 200,000 people was enough to capture the entire Lake Balkhash on the day they just launched the attack!
"Marshal, this is what your Majesty means..."
Others reminded.
Rumyantsev was stunned for a moment, then nodded.
He has always had great respect for Peter the Great. This ambitious emperor naturally thought more than himself. Although he was very reluctant to associate with this gang of rabble, Peter the Great naturally thought more carefully. If he wanted to take over the entire Central Asia, the help of this gang of scumbags was indispensable.
There are too many issues involving culture and religion.
Thinking of this, Rumyantsev slowly picked up the letter.
"Are they sure they can capture the enemy general's main camp in the rear when we launch an attack?"
Rumyantsev asked slowly.
"madness!"
