C1649 No choice (1/2)

There were many analyses and guesses about the Jiangxin Island Battle in the future, but the majority of the Historian s questioned Fajeev's commanding ability.

The situation on the battlefield was so disadvantageous that they actually started a concentrated assault. They did not even think about repenting after the four Gatling s were revealed. This method of using the lives of the soldiers as a joke was unanimously condemned by the later generations.

However, the Historian and the military researchers were just looking for answers in the cold data. They could look at the heavy snow outside their window in the dry heating room and make themselves a cup of hot cocoa, and then look for the answers in the words and data.

War was like a game in the eyes of these people. Even in the computer era, if you moved your mouse, you could command thousands of men and horses to charge forward.

However, the real world war was ten thousand times crueler than they had imagined. All of Fajeev's judgements had been forced to that point by the general situation.

Who knew that the opponent he would meet would be Xiao Letian. Someone who was extremely skilled in judging the general situation would naturally have a fated outcome.

At that moment, the only thing that remained in Fajeev's mind was this. The army had already run out of food, the Arms and ammunition could not get any, and the soldiers could only rely on their Zhanmadao to fight the enemy in close combat.

Looking at the surrounding fires, one could imagine that the Chinese people in the surrounding hundred miles had already established themselves, and even if they wanted to rob them, they wouldn't be able to find their target now.

You want to retreat? There was no possibility of that happening. The path they had taken to get here had already been taken by them. If they wanted to return now, they would be courting death.

Not only was the Haishenwai trapped with twenty thousand other vanguard unit, the Qing Empire had sealed off their borders, so Guo Geli and the others trying to enter the borders of the Qing Empire through the Wusuli River was wishful thinking.

Furthermore, the weather was gradually getting warmer, so the river probably had already begun flowing upstream of Wusuli River.

The root of all his mistakes was still underestimating the enemy. Fajeev never split up his troops, he had always thought that the loyal soldiers were just a bunch of thugs, he never believed that these Chinese people would have such combat abilities.

In his heart, he even felt that it was enough for Guo Geli's twenty thousand people and the ten thousand people from the Haishenwai to join hands with him.

If Fajeev had gone head to head with his fifty thousand strong army and pressed on them like Mt. Tai, he would not be in such a passive position.

Although they had lost the battle, their elite Cossack Army's vitality was not damaged at all. As long as they had enough supplies, they could gather tens of thousands of infantry soldiers in the summer.

However, Fajeev who underestimated his opponent had split up. Whether the twenty thousand vanguard unit were dead or alive, he had to save these lads, if he let the political officials in Moscow know that he had given up twenty thousand lives, they would probably just shoot him.

As long as they could fight, no matter how many of them would die in battle, as long as they could fight with Guo Geli and the rest, at that time, no matter how many people they would have, it would be fine.

If they could fight, they would fight; if they couldn't fight, they would move to the territory of the Qing. If they couldn't fight, they would fight their way to the border of the Kingdom of Korea.

It had to be said that this was the most correct choice Fajeev had made in the face of such a predicament.

After breaking through to Amur River, he would go down south with his cavalry ability, and fight with the vanguard unit. Then, he would care about nothing and save as many people as he could.

With such a big Great Qing, it was impossible for such a strong and stubborn person to be present everywhere. As long as he met one or two flexible army, he would be saved.
