Lebed is a clever man, a veteran in officialdom, and he understands that the Russian army's ethos is to grab the merits of superiors. If you do something, you can do something wrong.

　　 Now it is obviously difficult to take down the enemy city, and if you can’t take it, you can’t regain the land. If you hold it accountable in the future! ...

　　 Of course he can't be caught with his hands, he has to shirk his responsibility. Therefore, there are capable people under his men who can draw pictures and draw the Ming army fortress, which can be used as evidence.

　　Okay, if I'm incompetent, come and attack the city, you can conquer this city, and you will kill my head!

proceed if you can!

Lebedd took a look at the picture, and saw that their paintings were finely crafted and the proportions were appropriate. They clearly showed that the fortifications of the porcelain country were extremely strong. If something happens in the future, he will be able to speak up, and if he finds more favors, he will be able to make major things smaller. It's a trivial matter.

　　 It’s so sad that I have already thought about how to shirk my responsibilities even before fighting. It’s weird if you have such a mentality to win the battle!

　　……

　　 In the evening, a bonfire was lit, and everyone was sitting around the bonfire. Lebed convened a meeting with the Cossack Zhuya Daman to discuss the next military affairs.

　　 Needless to say, the Yadamans shook their heads like rattles, thinking that it was impossible to attack the city.

　　 Just kidding, how can the Cossacks be able to beat such a strong city.

　　 They sighed: "God of Russia, how could they have so many guns! And such a high wall!"

　　 unanimously thought: "These **** heretics!"

　　 Guns are not enough to scare the Cossacks. They slapped the horses, they brandished their sabers, and charged!

　　 One knife in hand, I have the world!

　　 Killing is like cutting vegetables and melons. It's not a problem. What keeps the Cossacks away is the high wall. How can a four-legged horse rush to the wall? If it can't be done, it can't be done.

　　There are only two roads in front of everyone. One is to stay under the enemy city, waiting for the officers and soldiers from the rear to arrive. They have artillery and military engineering and can attack the city.

　　When they come, first all the Cossacks will starve to death. Due to the slowness of the officers and soldiers, it is very likely that they will not reach the city until next year. Now some of the Cossacks have run out of food. The surrounding area is deserted and there is no place to plunder.

　　 10,000 steps back and said: "Will the officer and army bring you food?"

　　 "We have surveyed hundreds of miles, and we haven't found any population!" Lebed told his adjutant Koskin to write it down.

　　 So stay behind the city, OUT!

　　 Then continue to advance to the bottom of Irkutsk?

　　The journey reaches 1,600 miles. Looking at it like this, I'm afraid that the road ahead is also a wild place. There is no object of predation. It is very likely that everyone will starve when they reach the city of Irkutsk.

　　 It's nothing to go hungry, if you can do it smoothly, all the hard work is worth it.

　　What if the enemy city is as strong as the enemy city in front of you, or even stronger?

　　 is not impossible, but very possible!

　　 It’s so far away from the porcelain country, and they can all build such a big city. It’s unreasonable to be close to the country, and the city is even worse.

　　 Obviously, some Yadaman thought about this problem, and their faces became gloomy.

　　 is very likely to steal the chicken, but it may lose the rice!

Some Yadaman thought further. In fact, this time the attack on China, the Tsar’s decree was issued, and the provinces were responsible for issuing notices. A large number of Cossacks were recruited to fight. Some Cossacks refused to fight for this and that reason. , They are all veterans!

Lebed was nervously thinking about his future actions. It is funny to say that the fate of tens of thousands of people lies with a little officer of him, who makes the decision, and the indomitable and arrogant knights in the tsar’s court Men are gone.

　　 However, once he achieves any results, those big guys will magically appear!

　　 It's normal. Lebed's entourage is stuffed with people sent by several big guys to act as ears and eyes. Don't be wrong, they are big guys, and you can be killed with just one finger.

　　 "Let's move on!" Lebedd said.

　　 There is no objection.

　　Gambling-the round has not officially started, with so many chips in hand, how can I not gamble.

　　Lebeda asked Zhuya Daman: "Since we are not going to fight the city, we have to keep some people here to guard, not only to monitor the enemy forces in the city, but also to take in the troops from behind, who is willing to stay?"

　　 Hearing what he said, everyone looked at each other, thinking about gains and losses.

　　 is really a problem!

　　 There may be a profit ahead, but if you don’t go, you will lose money.

　　 Staying here, just for consumption, I don't know when the officers and soldiers will come up.

　　When the officers and soldiers come up, the Cossacks may become cannon fodder in the city and be forced to fight by the nobles.

　　 The siege suffered heavy losses. After the city was captured, the officers and soldiers said that you have worked hard, stop for a while, I will go first!

　　 They go first, and the dregs will not be left to the Cossacks.

　　 The virtues of the nobles are well known to the Yadamans.

Lithuanian Cossack Yadaman Nikola Igor's heart moved. He thought that when the call-up order was issued, Yadaman Boros of the same race was clearly a strong soldier and could not do anything, but he shouldn't be called, Nicholas. Igor asked him curiously, he just said: "The Porcelain Country is not so easy to mess with..."

　　Bolos runs a business, has caravans traveling to and from the Baltic Sea, has more contact with overseas people, and is well-informed. Now it seems that it should be foresight.

　　 So Nikolai Igor raised his hand and said, "We have 1,500 people in our department, so let me stay!"

　　 Everyone is overjoyed~lightnovelpub.net~Lebeder said: "Three thousand people have to stay, and another 1,500!"

　　 But other people don't have such a good consciousness, and they don't want to stay. Everyone still wants to fight.

　　 After the public discussion, Lebed forced the two less powerful Cossack tribes about 700 people to stay, and the others continued to move forward.

　　 After the meeting was over and everyone dispersed, Nikolai Igor invited the two small tribes Yadaman to go with them to discuss their cooperation.

Seeing their frowning faces, Nikolai Igor comforted them: "Don’t think too much about it. It might be better to stay here. It’s not necessarily a bad thing to stay! I dare say those people went to Irkutsk. The city wall is taller and bigger than here, and the soldiers and horses are stronger. The enemy here did not fight, and the enemy definitely fights there."

　　 He whispered: "Once you go to war, it is very likely..."

　　 Of course there are some things that I can't say, but the meaning is very strong. The two Yadamans heard him say this, and their mood improved slightly, thinking about how to explain to everyone in the Hui.

　　 And the 20,000 people of the Cossack army here have no oil and water, so they will not be muddled, and they will set off early the next morning.

When the cavalry marched with great momentum, the so-called cavalry was invincible, but it was seen that they were marching in multiple columns, some wearing tall lambskin caps, some wearing black cloaks, others carried muskets on their backs, and sabers hanging from their waists. Tens of thousands of horseshoes galloped forward in the dust, this scene is extremely shocking.

　　I was marching all the way to the east. I was still arrogant a few days ago, but very quickly, like a balloon, I became frustrated day by day, without the courage I had before.

　　Because of being hungry!
