Ming Zuo

Chapter 1721

With the surrender of Batur Huntaiji, the two-year strategy of the Western Regions has finally achieved decisive progress.

It can be said that the stagnation of the National Defense Forces in Hami gave all parties in the Western Regions a great illusion.

Let them mistakenly think that the Han people are afraid of the Western Regions like snakes and scorpions, and dare not go westward.

Therefore, all forces in the Western Regions only cared about the enemies in front of them, and devoted all their strength to unify the Western Regions.

In addition, the strategic deception of the National Defense Forces is very well done.

The eyes of all parties in the Western Regions are only focused on the Northwest Strategic Cluster in the Hexi Corridor, unaware that the Northern Strategic Cluster in Kargo has also joined in.

As a result, when the Second Cavalry Division swept thousands of miles and suddenly appeared on the battlefield, it became the biggest variable.

So far, no large-scale forces in northern Xinjiang can resist the National Defense Forces.

What the Northwest Strategic Cluster needs to do is to take over the past one by one and return this vast land to the Chinese territory.

Of course, the footsteps of the Northwest Strategic Cluster will not stop in the Western Regions.

The situation in the north has become clear, the struggle between the empire and Russia is about to begin, and they will not let the northern strategic cluster fight alone.

As the Second Cavalry Division hit Uliasutai, the command headquarters made adjustments to allow the Second Cavalry Division to belong to the Northwest Strategic Cluster.

Because the next combat task of the Northwest Strategic Cluster is the most difficult.

In the west of the Western Regions, there are more complex and powerful forces to conquer.

However, the current Western Regions cannot escape the palm of the empire.

On the northern side, the only remaining forces are the remnants of Zhuote Babatur.

After he fled back to Tacheng, he met Norbu who escaped from Uliasutai.

Norbu is the leader of Zaksatu Khan and the son of Subadi.

The Second Cavalry Division swept across Zaksatu Khan's tribe, and Norbu was completely unable to resist, so he could only lead a small group of people to flee westward.

There were many hardships and heavy losses along the way, and when they arrived in Tacheng, there were less than 3000 people.

He thought that he could get help from the Junggar tribe, but he suddenly found out that the Junggar tribe was also doomed.

Just at this time, the situation on the battlefield came.

Knowing that the Junggar Department and the Heshuo Special Department were swept away by the National Defense Forces, Zhuote Babatur and Norbu were all frightened.

Of course they knew that the National Defense Forces would come to Tacheng soon.

In order to survive, the two decided to move west as soon as possible.

They planned to go to the Turghut Ministry.

At any rate, there is still a relationship between the two parties, and even if it is from then on, it is better to live under the fence than perish.

As for the Western Regions...

Apparently there is no place for them anymore.

Opposite the city of Yakutsk, the expedition team finally waited for Dahu's company.

"How's it going?"

Dahu and Gu Dahu are also old acquaintances.

During the expedition, the two sides cooperated a lot.So when they met, Dahu didn't exchange pleasantries and went straight to the point.

Snow is about to fall in this weather, and the most important thing is to unplug the enemy's fortress.

During the period when Dahu came here, Gu Dahu was not idle, and actually did a lot of work.

"We searched the vicinity and found that there were no tribes left, only some Mongolians who were hiding. They said that the young men and women in the tribe were either killed or caught to work in the castle. Guess, no Might come out alive."

Dahu hides in the dense forest and observes the city of Yakutsk through a telescope.

The castle is not big, but it is fully functional, but the guards are relatively lax.

The Russians estimated that the process of occupying this land was too smooth, and they did not expect any powerful enemies nearby.Over time, it is inevitable to slack off.

But in any case, such a castle cannot be solved by a company of national defense forces and an expedition team.

"Before the army comes over, let's attack everywhere, cut off the connection between this place and other places, and ask for more information by the way."

Dahu knows that the Russians have come from thousands of miles away, and it is impossible to have such a small force.

There must be a Russian expedition somewhere nearby.

Only when you figure it out, can you deal with them one by one, so as not to find a needle in a haystack.

Following his order, everyone quickly dispersed and ambushed around the city of Yakutsk.

The Russians in the city didn't know that they were being targeted. Every once in a while, the Russians in the city would come out and explore in all directions, looking for wealth.

Because this exploration doesn't go very far, each squad is small in size.

As many as dozens of people, as few as a few people.

And this scale, when it comes to the National Defense Forces and expeditions, it is a dish.

Sporadic ambushes were launched from time to time in the dense forest, and Russians disappeared one after another.

It was calm at first, but soon, the Russians also noticed something was wrong.

After all, people who go out never come back, which is very strange in itself.

"Mr. Governor, I sense danger."

Stepanov, the former head of the city of Yakutsk, hurriedly came to the new governor Frantzbekov.

The new governor was a dignified figure from Moscow, with a mission for the tsar.Once here, it takes over all power.

Franzbekov was able to gain the tsar's trust because he told the tsar about an ambitious plan.

He intends to integrate all Russian expeditions in the Far East, and then march towards the Heilongjiang River Basin, conquer the Daur people there, and turn it into Russian territory.

The Tsar was very interested in his plan and gave him carte blanche.

The reason why Gu Dahu and others were able to encounter the Russian expedition team was because of Franzbekov's order.

"Is something wrong? My champion."

Franzbekov held up a glass of red wine, arty.If it is someone who is not familiar with him, he will definitely be deceived.

But Stepanov was terribly afraid of this boss.

After all, every night a female corpse was dragged from Franzbekov's room.

Stepanov didn't think he was a good person, but he wasn't such a beast or devil either.

"Mr. Governor, none of the teams we sent out have returned. I suspect that something happened to them."

Hearing what he said, Franzbekov also frowned.

"The weather has been calm and the weather is fine recently, so what kind of trouble can we encounter?"

He has great confidence in the combat effectiveness of those squads.

After all, in this kind of place, the 50-member Russian expedition is invincible.

How could those savages who were still using stone spears and wooden bows beat the expedition team?

Stepanov was worried.

"I don't know the specific situation. But I need your authorization to organize a slightly larger team to go out and check."

Franzbekov was glad to see him bravely doing things.

"Very well, I authorize you to lead 300 people to set off. But it will snow soon, within a month at most, no matter what you find, you must come back."

Winters in the Far East are terrible, and it is absolutely impossible to survive outdoors.

The number of people in Yakutsk is very limited, and we must not lose too much.

But neither Franzbekov nor Stepanov would have thought that they would not be able to survive this winter.
