Struggle in Russia

It was not only the local garrison that was embarrassed, but Count Provence and Lazette were also embarrassed. Before, they were worried about not being able to defeat the Turks, but in the end, Turkey was called a dish, and it was defeated by three times five divided by two. solved.

Doesn't this mean that their previous worries were unnecessary and unfounded?

The Earl of Province was a little better, but Lazette was really embarrassed and didn't know what to say.

Vishniak didn't say much, and said with a smile: "It turns out that the enemy is not as scary as imagined. As long as we unite as one and use the right strategy, it will not be difficult to defeat them!"

Count Province and Razette quickly echoed: "You are absolutely right. Next, shall we rush into the city and eliminate the remaining enemies?"

Vishniak shook his head and said: "No, we must move immediately and leave this place!"

Count Province and Razette couldn't figure it out. You dared to attack when there were many enemies before, but now there are only a few enemies. Why did you take the initiative to run away?

Vishniak explained: "The enemy is not a fool. They will definitely ask for help after being severely damaged by us. Even if they are small in number, urban combat cannot be accomplished overnight. Once we are surrounded by the main force of enemy reinforcements, the consequences will be disastrous!"

"So we took the initiative to evacuate, get out of this circle, and take a rest while seeing if there are other opportunities that would be more appropriate."

The Russian father said so, so Count Province and Razette naturally did not dare to have any objections. Moreover, what the Russian father said makes sense. Once their small force encounters the main force of the Turkish army, they will be defeated in minutes. So it would be a good idea for Ma Liudi to leave!

Vishniak took Count Provence and others to move. One day later, when the Turkish reinforcements arrived, they only saw a field of chicken feathers. Yes, although Vishnyak decided to move, he would not escape directly. Instead, he robbed the local wealthy Turkish businessmen and landowners and robbed them all.

As a result, the Turkish reinforcements were scolded so much that they almost couldn't take care of themselves.

If this is the end, it actually doesn't matter. Who hasn't been scolded yet? What made the Turkish army uncomfortable was that just a week later, Boyajik, not far from Yambol, was attacked again. It was still the same routine. The local garrison fell into the trap and was defeated one by one. The difference is that the losses this time were even more severe. Not one of the more than 500 people survived.

Just as the senior Turkish army officials were thinking about what was going on, just three days later, the Elhovo garrison south of Boyajik was completely wiped out by the same trick.

More than a thousand people were lost in less than half a month, which was unacceptable to the Turks. The most important thing was that they did not know who the enemy was and where they were. This was really unjustifiable.

"Tell me, where are the attackers? They can't be ghosts, they can't come and go without a trace. Who can tell me why they cause us losses again and again?"

No one can answer this question, and even if they did, they wouldn’t dare to say it, and even the higher-ups might not like to hear it.

In short, the Turks had to change their strategy again and increased the number of troops stationed in each place from 500 to 1,000.

However, more people meant that there were fewer points to cover, and they had to abandon some less important towns.

Valley Tribulation

And this naturally gave Vishnyak an opportunity. He specifically chose those abandoned towns to start with. For a time, the wealthy Turkish merchants and nobles in the small cities were in danger. They had to give up their industries and drag their families to the big cities.

As a result, the real estate they left in the countryside was completely deserted. Vishniak instructed Count Provence and Raziel to try to confiscate the Turkish real estate and distribute the crops they planted in the fields to the poor Vara Guiyans.

This can be regarded as killing two birds with one stone. First, it bought people's hearts and made the Bulgarians who were originally enthusiastic about joining Nicholas I's great cause more enthusiastic. Secondly, it also makes Turkey, Britain and France the villains. After all, these properties are not legal gains. You can imagine what will happen once the original owner of the land comes back.

Once a sharp conflict breaks out between Turks and Bulgarians, it will be great fun, and it is likely that more Bulgarians will take up arms against Turkey.

Vishniak knew that Li Xiao's plan was to cause greater turmoil in Bulgaria. Only chaos in Bulgaria could create enough trouble for Turkey, Britain and France.

So for the next period of time, he continued to adhere to the previous policy and specialized in picking weak persimmons, causing the Turks to suffer heavy losses.

Finally, when Vishnyak and his men burned down the Turkish army's logistics warehouse in Gabrovo, neither the Turks nor the British and French forces could stand it any longer.

“In the past three months, a small group of enemies has been operating wantonly in our rear, constantly attacking our transportation lines, destroying our storage facilities, and even daring to directly attack our garrison, causing us huge irreparable losses. "

"If we continue to let them do whatever they want, it is very likely that our frontline offensive operations will also be affected! These nasty rats must be eradicated, and they must be eradicated!"

"So after discussion and approval by the coalition forces, I will deploy another 100,000 people from the front line and strive to eliminate them within a month!"

The 100,000 people who were transferred must only be Turks. Not only did they hate Vishnyak, but more importantly, their combat effectiveness was weak.

What? Why do you want to recruit those with weak combat effectiveness?

The reason is very simple. If the British and French coalition forces are deployed, their total strength will only be two to three hundred thousand, not to mention. The deployment of 100,000 people will greatly damage the offensive capabilities of the coalition forces.

The most important thing for the coalition forces is to break through the Russian army's front, and it is best to penetrate into the hinterland of Wallachia. Once the troops that can actually fight are mobilized, the pressure on the Russian army will not be enough.

Secondly, taking away 100,000 British and French troops to "suppress bandits" in the hinterland of Bulgaria is not what the Turks like to see. Although Britain and France are now in alliance with them, the Turks do not trust them at all.

With so many coalition forces operating freely in the hinterland of Bulgaria, the Turks are worried that Britain and France may use this to make trouble, such as fostering spokesmen in Bulgaria.

Considering both aspects, it is better to let the Turks suppress the bandits themselves. This will be better for both parties.

Of course, Britain and France also have something to say about this. It is okay to let Turkey suppress the bandits on its own, but Turkey must ensure that the problem is solved as soon as possible, otherwise they will not rule out taking action personally, and at that time many things will not be left to Turkey's final say...
