Struggle in Russia

Neither Li Xiao nor Dmitry nor Kornilov nor Nakhimov expected that the rebel army would collapse so quickly.

It seems that they are not easy to deal with with hundreds of thousands of troops. For this reason, they have made special preparations to fight a vicious war.

However, the rebels collapsed within minutes, which caught them somewhat off guard.

This resulted in the main force of the Russian army still concentrated in the Kiev area, and only a small amount of cavalry could really be used to chase down the rebels.

With more than 20,000 people chasing nearly 300,000 rebels, it was a joke no matter how you looked at it. But what made them laugh was that the Russian cavalry actually won and recaptured Zhytomir without a single blow.

You must know that according to the original plan, after relieving Kiev, Dmitri planned to rest for ten days and a half before regaining Zhitomir.

As a result, the plan for the second half of the month was realized inadvertently. Could it be that the next half of the month will be taken off directly?

Of course, rest was absolutely impossible. Dmitri and others immediately realized that the plan could not keep up with the changes, and there was a major deviation in their estimate of the rebels' strength.

This means that all previous plans need to be overthrown and restarted. The most critical thing now is to quickly beat the drowned dog so that the troops can quickly chase and annihilate the enemy.

Dmitri soon adjusted his deployment and immediately ordered the main force of the Russian army to divide into two groups to pursue Hobnin, Manokovich and Maganov respectively.

Suddenly, the Russian army surged westward like a tide, chasing wildly along the rebels' escaping footsteps, and a competition about time and speed began.

The first ones to be overtaken were Hobnin and Manokovich. After all, a man with two legs could not outrun a man with four legs. While fleeing in the suburbs of Belogorie, they were attacked by Cossack cavalry. For a while, they were thrown into chaos. group.

In the chaos, Hobnin and Manokovich had no idea of ​​gathering their troops to resist desperately. Instead, they immediately took their confidants and escorted the looted wealth and fled south and north respectively.

Hobnin went straight to Oditerog, while Manokovich rushed to Bazalia.

With these two leaders running away, the rebel army was naturally leaderless and in chaos. The Cossack cavalry slashed in this area for a whole day, killing nearly 20,000 people. For a while, corpses were strewn across the field and rivers of blood flowed.

When Dmitri arrived with the main force, the scene was so unsightly that he had to order the military police to stop the Cossacks from continuing to mow the grass. Otherwise, I really don’t know what these murderous Cossacks would do. Come.

After struggling to control the rampaging Cossacks, Dmitri quickly ordered the troops to continue chasing the fleeing Hobnin and Manokovich. Only by completely eliminating these two rebel leaders can the counter-insurgency campaign come to a successful conclusion.

What happened next was a bit lackluster, because the people of Hobnin and Manokovich who fled in a hurry were getting smaller and smaller, because anyone who was not mentally retarded knew that continuing to follow them would lead to death.

As the most wanted targets of the Russian army, the Russian army would definitely not let them go. So after escaping for more than ten hours, the two men suddenly discovered that in addition to more than a hundred people close to them, the previously prominent army of hundreds of thousands Already reduced to ashes.

Only then did they realize that something was wrong. Without enough men and horses, they would have no value at all. Even if they could escape to the south of the Austrians, they would not treat him well. They would probably just go for it and swallow up everything they looted. wealth.

But it was too late to realize this at this time. The two men could only crawl into the forest in embarrassment, hoping to escape the Russian army's search.

As for Maganov on the other side, the situation was slightly better. He moved faster. When the Russian army began to pursue him, he had already arrived at Olevsk with the main force.

To be honest, this has put a considerable distance between him and the pursuit of the Russian army, which makes him somewhat proud. However, he was proud of himself, but his actions did not slow down at all. He still urged his subordinates to move westward desperately. He must reach the Warren area before the Russian army, otherwise there would be no hope of escape!

But this is not easy. After entering Olevsk, the river network in this area is densely covered with swamps, making it very difficult for the troops to move.

That is to say, the rivers and swamps are frozen in winter, otherwise his actions will be even more difficult. Hurry and slow all the way. When he arrived in Sarne, bad news came.

Hobnin was captured by the Russian army and has been sent to St. Petersburg, which means that all the rebel forces on the southern front have collapsed. The Russian army's attention will be focused on him next, and he will face a heavy encirclement and suppression by the Russian army!

Maganov flipped through the map. If he went to Slovakia according to the original plan, he would need to cross the Warren area. Although the Russian army in this area was not strong, Volodmir, Rivvi and Lviv were all He has a heavy army, and coupled with the pursuing Russian army, if he doesn't go well, he will be surrounded by heavy siege.

Anyway, he didn't have any confidence that he would be able to break out of this tight siege. After much thought, he made the right decision to abandon his original plan and no longer go to Slovakia, but to Poland!

First of all, although Poland also has Russian troops~www.readwn.com~, the Russian army's main target is on Poland, which is in uprising and causing trouble, and they have no time to take care of them for the time being. Secondly, he can also avoid the heavy Russian army group. If everything goes well, he can even return a wave of blood in Poland and attract those foot soldiers to join his army.

Moreover, he had heard before that Britain and France had many informants in Poland. If he could contact Britain and France to gain their support, he would naturally be able to persist longer.

To put it bluntly, if it doesn't work out, you can still escape abroad through Poland!

After making up his mind, Maganov ordered the troops to go straight west to Lublin with a wave of his hand. In order to enter Poland as soon as possible, he ordered the troops to be strictly lightly armed, discarding all heavy objects that would get in the way, and plundering livestock from the local area. Increase movement speed.

It has to be said that he ran so fast, at least the Russian army behind him couldn't catch up at all. When Maganov arrived at Manevich, the Russian army's pursuers had just arrived at Korosten.

Obviously it was impossible to stop Maganov with just these pursuers, and Dmitri had a headache when he learned this information. If Maganov really escapes into Poland, he will be in big trouble.

After all, Poland does not have enough troops. It is a headache to deal with the troublesome Polish footbaths. If Maganov's people are added to the attack, there is no telling what Poland will become.

We must try our best to intercept Maganov, and we must eliminate him in Ukraine!

Thinking of this, Dmitri became furious and immediately gave orders to the Russian troops in Rivwei and Lviv, asking them to deploy troops to intercept Maganov. The other side also ordered the pursuing Russian army to speed up and must catch up with Maganov as quickly as possible...
