Hot air balloon combat

After hearing the report of the Ming army scout, Zhu Youjian did not go to see the sand table this time.

It is impossible for the sand table to see the military deployment of the Tsarist Russian army, so his mind entered the system.

"System, open the Tsarist Russian military deployment map."

As Zhu Youjian issued an order, the map of Russian military deployment in Tula Tsarist Sakura appeared in front of him.

The main battlefield selected by the Tsarist Russian army is located on the south bank of the Kolocha River, where the Kolocha River and another small river, the Voyna River converge here.

The far right wing of the Tsarist Russian position was deployed in a circular area between the Kolocha River and the Moscow River, and the left wing was stationed in the jungle around Ryazan Avenue.

The Moscow River is a tributary of the Oka River, while the Kolocha River flows northward into the surging Moscow River.

The three rivers intersect and cross the corner is a low ridge, and at its northern end is a small mound, which is very suitable for combat.

The Russian army built fortifications here. To the south of the bastion are mainly flat land and swamps, some places have jungles, and some small villages that are easy to defend and difficult to attack.

Of course, these small villages are destined to be destroyed by the Ming army, and their function is to serve as a buffer zone to drag the Ming army forward.

But there is a bastion composed of three other small fortifications nearby, forming the central hub of the left wing, which is called the central bastion.

The far left-wing position located in the jungle area is another highland, and there is also a bastion two miles west of the center of the main defensive position.

There was a legion where 30,000 people defended and supported by cavalry and artillery...

Before the Ming army launched an attack on the main position of the Russian army, it must first destroy the left wing bastion!

Tsarist Russia should want to use active defense measures to kill and injure the enemy as much as possible, change the strength of our enemy and us, and preserve its strength for the subsequent battles and annihilation of the Ming army.

Faced with the Russian army's narrow defense line, the Ming army was unable to surround the two wings, so they had to take a frontal assault.

In order to break through the Russian defense line in a narrow area, rush into the rear of the Russian army and annihilate it, thus opening the door to Moscow!

Seeing the emperor suddenly fell into deep thought for a long time and didn't say a word, Li Dingguo and Li Yan and other generals did not dare to disturb him, and they all waited quietly for the emperor's orders.

Zhu Youjian left the system with his mind and saw that all the generals were looking at him stupidly, Zhu Youjian coughed twice awkwardly:

"Ahem..."

"According to my intelligence, the military strength of the Tsarist Russian army is deployed on the south bank, which makes people confused. Under normal circumstances, they should deploy their troops on the north bank.

The deployment of military forces on the south bank not only can the river water block our army's advance, but also help them defend. They should have the intention of burning the Russian boats, and it can also make Tsarist Russian soldiers feel that there is no way out of retreat, but only fight to the death of our army.

Since this is the case, I will fulfill their wishes and inform the entire army to prepare for combat, and the Ming army will make Tsarist Russia remember today forever."

Zhu Youjian's words made the soldiers stunned again. The emperor was with them every day. How did he know the deployment of Tsarist Russia's military power in Tula?

However, those who have fought with the emperor know that their emperor has always been like this, and they always have the ability to be a prophet without fighting against the enemy.

Zhu Youjian now doesn't care what the soldiers are thinking, he directly began to arrange the Ming army's tactics to attack Tula.

"Transfer the order to ask Meng Liang and the others to temporarily stop moving forward, then retreat to the three miles to set up camp to strengthen defense and wait for the main force to arrive. If you take risks, you may be eaten by Tsarist Russia in one bite."

"The command of Zhu Cilang, the left wing, and Jin Shengheng, the right wing, suspended the forced crossing of the Moscow River and immediately joined the central army."

"Liu Changting, I ask you, how powerful is the hot air balloon special forces team trained by your scouts now?"

Liu Changting, a hundred households who are responsible for managing and training the hot air balloon special forces, hurriedly bowed and bowed:

"Reporting to AIDS, they are all good kids who love studying, and now they are able to control hot air balloons skillfully..."

Zhu Youjian nodded with satisfaction:

"Okay! Send two hot air balloons immediately to check the military deployment of Tsarist Russia."

"Abide by the order!"

The total strength of Tsarist Russia this time reached 360,000, including not only the Cossack cavalry, but also the 200 artillery.

Because hilly areas are not conducive to cavalry combat, their cavalry are basically deployed on the left wing flat.

Fifty thousand Royal Guards and eighty artillery were deployed in the central bastion, one hundred and thirty artillery was deployed on a small high ground of more than 100 meters on the left wing, and there were 60,000 new soldiers and 100,000 border troops on the left.

However, the border troops have not been fully in place at present. Once the 100,000 border troops arrive on the left, the road will basically be blocked.

Tsarist Russian Field Marshal Kutuzov stood on the central basin, holding a single-tube telescope in his hand to observe around.

He knew the importance of this battle. Once the Battle of Tula failed, it would mean that the Tsarist Russian Empire could be destroyed.

The left wing was the main passage for the Ming army to Moscow. They believed that 130 artillery guns would definitely damage the main force of the Ming army.

Some of the troops were distributed in the middle jungle, which was the 150,000 cannon fodder recruits.

Only 60,000 of these people used firearms, and 90,000 of them also used cold weapons, but they all could shoot arrows.

Tsarist Russian Field Marshal Kutuzov stood on the central basin, holding a single-tube telescope in his hand to observe around.

He knew the importance of this battle. Once the Battle of Tula failed, it would mean that the Tsarist Russian Empire could be destroyed.

"There are monsters, look at what that is!"

Suddenly, soldiers found two huge things floating in the sky, and they immediately started shouting.

As the soldier shouted, the Russian Tsarist soldiers looked up at the air and found two big monsters flying above their heads.

Some Tsarist Russian soldiers who were hiding in the forest and preparing to attack the Ming army ran out of the forest and watched after hearing the clamor outside.

In fact, that was the hot air balloon of the Ming army. They were ordered to check the deployment of Tsarist Russian military forces.

Of course, Kutuzov, the marshal of Tsarist Russian Army, also heard the screams of Tsarist Russian soldiers, and he hurriedly looked at the two monsters in the air.

Because the height problem was not clear, Kutuzov hurriedly raised his telescope and looked at the two hot air balloons.

I saw two oval big guys floating in the air. There was a hanging basket under the big guy, and there were two Ming troops standing in the spider plant.

"Damn, what's the operation? How did the Ming soldiers get under the monster's belly? How did they get up?"

When Kutuzov saw the Ming army in the hot air balloon basket, he was stunned.

Now the Ming army uses hot air balloons, which is more than a hundred years earlier than the first hot air balloon in the world.

Of course, the Russian soldiers of Tsarist Russia would not know each other, and the Russian Army Marshal even more did not know what it was.

However, when he saw the two Ming soldiers in the hanging basket above, Kutuzov immediately shouted:

"Come on, beat the monsters above me and let the Imperial Warriors watch the airmen perform."

"yes"

With Kutuzov's order, someone immediately began to shoot arrows or shoot hot air balloons.
Chapter completed!
