Chapter 22 Famous Generals Gather
After Sun Chuanting took the Tsarist Russian Bastion No. 20, he did not follow the previous routines, rested for a few days, and set off after arranging everything. Instead, he led an army of 400,000 and the vassal states to build the railway while advancing.
The reason he did this was because he received a telegram from Lu Xiangsheng, the commander of the Ming army on the East Road. The Ming army on the East Road had almost captured the No. 22 Tsarist Russia Bastion, and he would be able to come over and meet with the Ming army on the South Road in at most four or five days.
Lu Xiangsheng actually adopted the tactic of digging the city walls, but he didn't need to build a railway, and the progress was more than ten days faster than Sun Chuanting's side. Therefore, the southern army had just conquered the third bastion, and the eastern army had almost defeated the fourth bastion.
The reason why Sun Chuanting waited for the Ming army on the east route to meet was mainly because the area of Tsarist Russia's No. 21 Bastion was too large.
This No. 21 basin was the one detected by Pan Feng and his army. It was a three-story basin with a scale of tens of thousands of people. Originally, Sun Chuanting was worried that the number of divine power cannons on his side was not enough to suppress the firepower of the entire basin. Now it happened that there were two first-class legions in the Ming army on the east road, with a total of two hundred divine power cannons. No matter how large the area of the No. 21 basin is, the first wave of firepower coverage will not be a problem.
Sun Chuanting's change strategy scared Golovin.
Originally, he led the Qin army, the First Border Defense Army and the Second Border Defense Army. Now, plus the Third Border Defense Army, the First Border Defense Army, the Second Border Defense Army, the Second Border Defense Army, the Second Border Defense Army, the Korean Army, the Siam Army, the Donghu Army and the Annan Army, there were a total of four regular corpses and six vassal state corpses, and a total of millions of troops gathered together!
Golovin did not dare to wander near the southern army. He led his army directly to the No. 21 Castle, gritted his teeth, and formed a formation, preparing to cheer the defenders of the Castle before slipping away.
As a result, he had just arranged 200,000 troops, and before he could even take some generals to visit the No. 21 bastion guard Vic, there was news from the east that the Ming army on the east road had already captured No. 22 bastion and was rushing here!
He was so scared that he said directly: "I'm nearby, waiting for an opportunity to attack, you must withstand it."
Then, he led his army to retreat to the hinterland of Siberia, retreating for hundreds of miles before stopping.
This is a problem with the Ming Empire. Thirteen legions were sent to surround a bastion with only 10,000 people. What's wrong with the large number of people?
He didn't dare to stay nearby anymore. Those were the thirteen legions. Once surrounded, the 200,000 troops in his hands would be over.
Now, Tsarist Russia can gather so much mobile power. If these 200,000 main forces are packed with dumplings, there will be basically no need to fight this war in Siberia.
The guard of the No. 21 Bastion was so scared that he almost pulled over. Golowen had just left, and the next day, millions of Ming troops surrounded the southeastern sides!
How can I fight this? Ten thousand to more than one million, can this be called war?
Thinking of Golovin's panicked expression when he left, he finally understood that even if all the Tsarist Russian defenders in Siberia gathered together, they would not be able to defeat the Ming army in front of him.
What to do? He really doesn't have the courage to escape. The lard hook of Goloven is not fun. It's even worse than a pig when hung on it.
Perhaps, there is only one choice, that is, surrender!
Lu Xiangsheng and Sun Chuanting have no time to deal with Victor's ideas at this moment. Both of them are famous generals of the Ming Dynasty, and they are also valued by the emperor at the same time. They have made a lot of contributions to the Ming Dynasty together, and their relationship is excellent.
Since the Battle of the Southeast Peninsula, the two towns have not seen each other for several years. It is false to say that they don’t miss it. As soon as the two armies gathered outside the bastion, Lu Xiangsheng and Sun Chuanting ordered their generals to organize troops to deploy troops, and then they rushed to the place where the two armies were connected.
The two riders faced each other and were far away. Lu Xiangsheng smiled happily and said, "Hahahaha, Brother Boya, long time no see."
But Sun Chuanting bowed with a smile: "Subordinate to see Marshal Lu."
When Lu Xiangsheng heard this, he leaned on the horse, slapped Sun Chuanting on the shoulder, and then smiled and said, "I don't know what kind of subordinates are you, how old are you older than me in terms of age?"
Sun Chuanting did not have as good skills as Lu Xiangsheng. After slapping this slap, he slapped him off the horse. He couldn't help but rub his shoulder and smiled bitterly: "Brother Jiandou, I don't have the skills of yours. If you pat it like this, you will slap people to death."
When Lu Xiangsheng heard this, he looked at his palm and smiled awkwardly: "Sorry, sorry, I'm happy for a moment, but it's not serious."
Sun Chuanting shook his head and said helplessly: "Oh, I really envy Brother Jiandou for his all-round talent in civil and military affairs. He is not like me, a scholar, and he is so weak."
When Lu Xiangsheng heard this, he said modestly: "What kind of civil and military talents are all-round? We are the generals who value strategy. When it comes to strategy, I am far inferior to you."
Upon hearing this, Sun Chuanting smiled bitterly again: "Brother Jiandou is joking. By the way, does Brother Jiandou have a clever plan this time to attack the city?"
Lu Xiangsheng couldn't help but say curiously: "A clever plan? Didn't you knock him out and dig it out directly? Does Brother Boya have any better strategies?"
Sun Chuanting smiled and said, "The strategy is not a question. I just looked at it with a telescope in front and found that the defenders' expressions were very frightened. Perhaps, we can send someone to say he would surrender."
When Lu Xiangsheng heard this, he said in surprise: "This plan is very wonderful. You can try it out. Is there a suitable candidate for you?"
Sun Chuanting nodded and said, "When I led my army to attack the first bastion, I happened to catch one of them, an army major general, maybe I can send him in and try it."
When Lu Xiangsheng heard this, he nodded and added: "Why would you use the divine power cannon to hit him for ten rounds first, give them a warning first, and then let someone say surrender?"
Upon hearing this, Sun Chuanting nodded and said, "Brother Jiandou is more thoughtful than we can start."
When Lu Xiangsheng heard this, he raised his hand and made a move backward. Sun Chuanting followed him tacitly with raising his hand and making a move backward.
Soon, their personal guards came behind them.
Lu Xiangsheng was not pretentious and directly ordered: "Send an order to line up all the divine cannons five miles away from the bastion, load solid bullets, and prepare for bombardment."
As soon as he finished speaking, a personal guard on both sides ran to the military formations on both sides.
At this time, the Ming army had already formed an orderly formation and fought there. Even the vassal state legions were pressing against the thorny prisoners and lined up neatly behind. Soon, thousands of artillery soldiers pushed three hundred magic cannons to the front of the formation."
Lu Xiangsheng continued: "Brother Boya, call the captured major general up, let's go to the front of the formation to take a look."
After saying that, he ran to the front of the formation by horse.
Sun Chuanting quickly turned around and said, "Go and take Andre, the major general of the Tsarist Russian Army, to the front."
After saying that, he also rode a horse and ran towards the formation with Lu Xiangsheng.
Soon, Andre was taken to the neat order. When Lu Xiangsheng saw that the person had been brought, he immediately ordered: "Transfer the order, all the divine cannons are solid bullets, and they will bombard ten rounds without interruption."
Two more personal guards scattered and sent orders. They were very open, and the roar of artillery sounded in front of the Ming army.
After ten rounds, Lu Xiangsheng winked at Andre directly. Seeing this, Andre quickly raised the small white flag in his hand and ran towards the bastion.
The Tsarist Russian soldiers guarding the city naturally recognized him, and he was soon hung onto the city wall.
