At this time, Rumyantsev showed his superb strategic awareness.
He was a famous general in Tsarist Russia. In several wars, he showed his extraordinary war acumen and wonderful commanding talents. This is experience. In the past few years, Tsarist Russia has been at war with the Ottoman Empire, including with Sweden, including with Poland... Long-term battles have made him accustomed to many things on these battlefields and those that extend from the battlefield.
Powerful person?
He has always despised these things.
Of course, he also knew what impact these dignitaries originally in Lake Balkhash might have on the direction of the war. But as a professional soldier, Rumyantsev still really looked down upon these powerful people.
It can be exploited, it's true.
So he took a gamble.
It is a bet that the general on the opposite side will make a fuss about these powerful people!
They will find ways to deal with the powerful!
This is absolutely reverse thinking.
Therefore, in the next process of planning to attack,
Facts have proved that Rumyantsev was right.
That's what Wang Feng thinks these powerful people will influence, and how they will affect their attitude. Therefore, when Rumyantsev launched the first wave of attacks, he made too many mistakes on this group of powerful people. This directly resulted in a lot of defensive work that day not being in place.
When the enemy launched an attack, he chained these humble dignitaries and sent them directly to the front line!
He thought that this would hinder the offensive of the Russian army.
However……
not at all.
Rumyantsev did not take these dignitaries seriously. When he saw them crying and being sent over as cannon fodder, he deliberately hesitated for a while and waited until the defensive soldiers on the opposite side began to loosen their formation. Suddenly, a thunderous attack was launched against these powerful people.
At this moment, Wang Feng was stunned.
Those powerful people were naturally confused.
Didn’t you say that the Tsarist Russian army would treat you well? How is this going? The powerful people cried for their father and mother one by one.
Wang Feng couldn't figure it out either.
Didn't it mean that these powerful people hold information about the Russian army? His defense work today was all arranged according to what they said about the enemy situation!
broken!
However.
As a field marshal of Tsarist Russia, Rumyantsev had extremely rich practical experience. How could he miss this opportunity?
beat!
Fighting like crazy!
At this time, Wang Feng was truly dumbfounded. It turns out that the enemy's military configuration is completely different from what the powerful people said! This is false information deliberately released by Rumyantsev! Next, Wang Feng was naturally in a hurry, but that's how it is on the battlefield, seize the day. The types of troops, weapons and equipment he prepared were completely unsuitable for this defensive battle.
What's the result?
Of course there is no need to say more.
Wang Feng suffered a tragic defeat, and those powerful people became "cannon fodder". In just one day of fighting, the entire Balkhash Lake fell into the hands of Tsarist Russia. Wang Feng fought bravely. But the situation was such that he had no choice but to sacrifice himself in the end, which was very shocking.
He led his troops and fought to the last moment.
However, Lake Balkhash was still lost.
"call……"
After Liu Zheng read this battle report, he felt a little bad.
It seems that Tsarist Russia is well prepared this time... He naturally knows who Rumyantsev is. All in all, he is a very strong general. Field Marshal, in the Seven Years' War, turned defeat into victory at the last moment. In several Russian-Turkish wars, it was also because of his command that Tsarist Russia won great victories...
He has a nickname.
It’s the “Victor of Transdanubia”! One can imagine how highly he will be evaluated in history.
Liu Zheng naturally had no good solution for this.
The enemy has entered Longyan, so there is only one word, fight!
He immediately sent a letter to the Western Regions, appointing Zou Sheng as the commander-in-chief of the entire Western Regions army. All troops in the Western Regions, including the armies of the vassal states in the Western Regions, would also be under his command.
The entire Western Region, Liangzhou, mobilized troops, including Sichuan, Shu, and Nanman, and also sent troops to the Western Region at the same time. We must get back Balkhash Lake within a month!
"A month?"
"Hahahaha, are you kidding me!"
"Shilang Liu..."
"you are dreaming!"
"A month? Even the soldiers and horses can't reach Lake Balkhash, and they still have to fight back?"
A group of vassal kings naturally sneered at Liu Zheng's decision and laughed.
Liu Zheng looked at this group of people quietly.
In fact, what he is thinking about now is not how to transport troops. Transporting troops is no longer a big problem, because his train is about to be launched. What he is thinking about is another problem... What will happen if Lake Balkhash falls into the hands of the enemy? What are the consequences? Obviously, the anti-war sentiment in the entire country will become even higher, but at the same time, there will also be many people who are not firm enough in their stance, which is the kind of leading party that has appeared many times in history.
In other words, while particularly positive anti-war emotions appear, extremely negative emotions also appear.
This happens in any war.
Those who have nothing to do every day and do academic work, those who advocate world peace, and those who start anti-war without any brain.
Even now in Long Yan, there are already many people clamoring that Tsarist Russia is here to deal with us poor people!
Welcoming them in is our path to prosperity!
In their opinion, it was appropriate for the entire Longyan to be captured by the enemy without bloodshed. Anyway, they were the leading party and the enemy would not treat them badly.
In fact...
Tsarist Russia is a wolf.
No matter at any time, as long as there is a war between the two sides, the other side will be the wolf.
There is only one way for a war to end, and that is to defeat the opponent. No matter what the field of defeat. Because wars are diverse, direct military confrontation, trade wars, virus wars, public opinion wars...
Is it only artillery bombardment that counts as war?
Too narrow-minded.
And as long as it is between countries, this kind of war is inevitable.
So……
Again, there is only defeat.
The war will end.
It can also be said that the war will never end.
Moreover, they will defeat not only the Longyan royal family, but your entire order of Longyan, and then establish the order they want!
The destruction of order sounds like it has nothing to do with the common people, but it is not. In this process, many people will also become cannon fodder and victims.
"A month. When I say a month, I mean a month."
Liu Zheng was too lazy to pay attention to this group of losers and said coldly.
"you……"
A group of people naturally don’t believe it.
"in addition……"
Liu Zheng took a deep breath.
He made a bold decision.
"Immediately, announce the death of the Holy Emperor and welcome the new Emperor to the throne!"
"What?"
Everyone's expressions changed drastically.
