Solovyov in Tsarist Russia 1796

Chapter 633 065 A large-scale annihilation battle on the banks of the Danube (explosion)

Fyodor Tolstoy was indeed a reckless bastard, but in many places, such bastards are the most useful.

Although the Turkish uniforms are messy, they still have a general color code, so it is not so easy to be seen through.

When attacking Vidin before, the Russian army stripped the clothes of many Turkish officers who were killed.

But Solovyov took a serious look at the physical condition of these people and confirmed that they were not sick before collecting their coats, which was considered to be washed and disinfected, so that they could look more decent.

In short, these people now look like German light cavalry, and when the Turkish army wanted to check them, there was no obstruction.

Because the soldiers below can also see that the leader is an officer at first glance, and he is not easy to mess with.

In places like Turkey, such things still happen frequently.

After passing two Turkish checkpoints, Fyodor looked at his men and said, "Damn it, we can finally stop speaking Turkish. My tongue is so tight."

"My Lord, what should we do?"

"First, find the gunpowder magazine that has not been destroyed, and then see if there are any Turkish soldiers stationed at the door. If there are, Karpov, have you done this kind of work before?"

"Yes, when we were in Poland, we ran behind the French. Not to mention the petty stealing, even if you asked us to cause trouble for Napoleon, we would dare to do it."

"Let's not talk about this for now. The first group will wear this outfit to find the arsenal, and the second group will find a carriage. We have to assemble this detonator. Damn it, it's a timed companion thing. If it's not placed in the carriage, it will definitely be discovered."

"Then what are you going to do? Winding the spring?"

"The fuse and the mechanical device are separate, so of course it needs to be wound."

"It's a very clever device. Was it invented by our army commander? He asked engineers for help with the blueprints, and he also likes to tinker with these things."

"No, it's a mature explosive used by the British, but you have to see clearly what's in the gunpowder magazine. It's best to find the explosive packs, so that the explosion effect can be better."

"But when blowing up the bridge, if we can't control the bridgehead, it will be very troublesome."

"It seems that you still have some brains. A Cossack lieutenant, you can become a captain soon."

Fyodor looked at his men. These people were all daring Cossacks. Of course, if they were asked to change into Turkish clothes, it would be difficult to be discovered if they ran into those Zaporizhia Cossacks who ran away.

Now, they are going to start looking for gunpowder, and it's going very smoothly.

"What's going on?"

After Karpov's team arrived at the arsenal and looked around, they felt that the Turks' security awareness was really poor. They knew that this was a gunpowder depot, but there were no reinforced sentries at the door. There were only two people here.

"I'll go up and take a look, Karpov, don't talk for now."

The two Turkish soldiers guarding the door looked sloppy, and there was only one rifle for the two of them, which looked outdated.

"Why are there only two of you guarding here? Do you know what's in there?"

"It's Russian gunpowder, sir."

"I know it's gunpowder, but what's with the pipe?"

"We're at the door, sir. Although there's a lot of gunpowder in there, it's all piled up in the warehouse. The Russians have locked the door, so it's fine."

"That's not a problem. Let my cavalry brothers teach you well."

When the two men were listening to the speech of Fyodor, the "master", one of them felt his neck snap.

The other one's neck was not broken, but he was stabbed from the back with a dagger.

He definitely didn't make any sound, that is, "Ha, ha", which might be more like the situation where blood flows back into the throat after cutting the neck.

The two guards had no chance to call for help, but Karpov was a little nervous and threw the two men directly into the arsenal.

When entering, the lock was still smashed.

Seeing the neatly stacked gunpowder here, Fyodor felt that there was no problem. Even if he could not complete all the tasks this time, he could still cause great chaos behind the Turkish army in Lom.

Because they were afraid of the Turkish looting, many people in the city took the Russian pontoon bridge to the north bank of the Danube before the Turkish army arrived, and they were not here.

As for those who stayed behind, they had to consider themselves unlucky. Fyodor thought that he had to complete the task and did not need to take care of anything else. Even if the task was completed this time, he had to keep it secret when he returned.

After another group of people found a carriage, Fyodor also began to study this thing.

"Sir, how do you pretend? Disguise it as a carriage loaded with straw?"

"I think there is no problem. Put straw outside. We are escorting this pile of stuff to the bridge as Turkish cavalry. We should think of some way."

"There will be ruts on the top of the stone bridge. If it gets stuck in it, then..."

In short, you have to look at the wheels first. It's better to think of some other way. A sneak attack is more than enough.

As for blocking a carriage, it's just the loss of two horses.

But there's no need to feel bad about losing a few horses, after all, the Cossacks often take out something easily.

These horses were taken from the stables in the nearby village. Fyodor thought there was no problem, so he signaled to continue.

The carriage was soon filled with explosive packs, but a layer of haystacks was added on top as a cover. This kind of straw cart is very common on the front line, and the Turks sometimes use this method to disguise.

It is also a must-have at home when smuggling, and a good medicine for carrying murder and arson weapons.

As for this gunpowder magazine, after Fyodor's Cossacks put all the explosives on the car, they also prepared the fuse for the gunpowder magazine.

But this explosion must be a long time after they leave, and the place where the detonator is installed.

If Solovyov knew, he would think that if Fyodor was placed in the early 21st century, he must be a master of CS.

As for the place where he put the bag, ordinary people would not think of it.

As for this explosive device, it is said that it is difficult to misfire after the spring is wound up.

The remaining cavalry, in addition to the explosives on the carriages, also had explosive packs on their horses, and each of them carried a few of them for easy use.

They had been used before, and they would definitely use them this time. They would light a few and explode them to create chaos.

Fyodor's plan was also very clear. What he probably didn't know was that Solovyov had also sent a team of engineers to wait upstream of the tributary.

"Mick, you are familiar with Fyodor and trust his ability. Isn't this a bit cautious?"

Clausewitz was more concerned about the battle on the main battlefield. Now the Grenadier Division was still stubbornly blocking the Turks, but Solovyov, as the commander, had no intention of ordering an advance.

However, he was particularly concerned about making explosives.

There was even a contingency plan, which was so complicated that it didn't seem like sabotage.

"No way, if one route succeeds, the other side will be responsible for creating chaos. The engineers are making explosives upstream, what's going on?"

"You still need to rely on me? If you read more newspapers and communicate with friends, you will know that this method of blowing up the bridge was learned from the Austrians."

"Yes, although Archduke Karl and I did not communicate this time, I also heard some opinions from the embassy in Vienna when I was in Vienna."

"Then you use it here, our engineers will have no problem with blasting."

"At this time, all you have to do is wait, the explosion over there is the same, and when we attack here is the same."

Then he continued to look at the Turkish army on the other side of the stream with a telescope, moving forward.

"By the way, Karl, what orders did you give?"

The latest chapters are available at 6=9=book=bar!

"The 9th Division will follow the explosion. If there is no explosion, we will attack one hour after launching the attack here."

"That's right. Don't worry about Arkasha. Don't worry."

What Solovyov was unsure about was the timing of the explosion. If Fedor and the engineers were slow to act, he would have to let the 9th Division go into battle according to his own action time.

As for the cavalry, Solovyov was more relieved.

At the same time, the infiltration team had brought the carriage full of straw and explosives to the city of Lom.

If you go up the bridge, you can also notice that there are only a few soldiers guarding here, but unlike the gunpowder depot, you can't just force it.

Fedor and Karpov walked in front and saw someone saluting them.

It looks no different from being in Russia. This is what a small civil servant would do when he saw his master.

"Selamu, where are you going?"

"The things that Lord Bey wants are placed under the straw. We need to deliver them to the front."

"Well, why are the horse legs and trouser legs still a little damp? It doesn't look like we came from the bridge?"

Fyodor's reaction was very quick. He answered directly: "It's so busy here now. After Lord Bey gave the order, we came from the upstream ferry. It's natural. Haven't you ever ridden a horse?"

While speaking, he raised the whip. The young officer guarding the bridge was obviously unwilling to ask more questions.

It was just that the luck was "bad". After the carriage reached the bridge, one of the wheels broke and flew out directly.

"Damn, you bastard, where did you get the broken car!"

While speaking, Fyodor whipped a Cossack with a whip. This guy is also an actor. After being told not to speak Russian, he got off the horse and apologized.

"Forget it! This kind of thing always happens. The car from the countryside is so unreliable."

"Sir, seeing that your men are all cavalry, we will help you repair the car, but the goods on the car..."

"The goods cannot be moved. Who knows how the master gave the order to send us to the front intact, and the things inside must be kept secret!"

"But."

Hearing this, Fyodor raised the whip again, and the other party understood that he was a high-ranking official anyway.

"You just repair the car here. If anyone dares to move the things on the car, His Majesty the Sultan will not protect your neck in a few days."

Fyodor's meaning was also very clear, and they retreated to a nearby distance and watched.

A group of cavalry, standing at a distance, was still acting as supervisors here. They were really the Bayi master of the Ottoman Empire.

If these unfortunate guys don't do a good job, they will probably be whipped, forced to work, and serious punishments.

In short, such an empire can indeed reflect the great lack of virtue.

Otherwise, many locals would be scared away, and even a car repairman would be hard to find.

After the great lack of virtue of the Ottoman Empire, the Danube River has been frequently looted in recent years. It may be calculated that the towns and villages burned by the Russians in the Balkans during a war are not as many as those done by the Ottoman Empire in a short period of time.

In Bulgaria, because of this kind of thing, some places are simply short of people. After the recent looting of some towns by the Turks, the population is only 30% of the original.

You know, even in the period of Alexander the Great, when this place was not much developed, a Thracian governorate could be listed separately, and a famous successor could be brought here after the feudal meeting, not to mention the later Roman and Bulgarian rule, when Rome...

Fyodor was also calculating the time. Although he was usually a gangster, he was also a cultured gangster and liked to make friends with cultured people.

As an adventurer, he was indeed good at both literature and martial arts. Although his level of literature was average, he was still full of martial virtues and knew some tricks of explosion.

Although some of this was learned from the engineering team of the 9th Division, it was enough.

According to the amount of explosives they had just charged, at least he was still in a safe range, but he was not sure about the gunpowder depot.

In short, the first thing to explode was probably the gunpowder depot, and the timing was designed like this.

"Master"

Fyodor heard Karpov imitate the Turkish way of speaking, and then coughed twice with him, and he probably understood.

The gunpowder depot was about to explode, and we had to take advantage of the chaos to find a chance to escape.

The time difference between the two sides was about a quarter of an hour, which was enough for them to "survey the situation" in the direction of the gunpowder depot and then find a chance to escape.

As for the explosives here, I guess these guys didn't dare to do anything, even if they knew about it.

Solovyov was his old battalion commander in the Guards, and he was famous for preparing several plans to act together. He would consider it a success if he completed a task.

Then, he waited for the violent explosion.
