Struggle in Russia

Nezhin, this small city on the upper reaches of the Ostel River is little known. If you don't look at the map, no one knows where this city is.

However, this small town is actually not that unknown. As a tourist city in Ukraine, it is quite famous as a famous university town.

The city was home to what would become Ukraine's highest university, Nizhin State University.

Of course, in this era, the university was still called Nizhin State Teachers College. This university was founded in 1805, which means it has a history of half a century. Later, a large number of famous scientists and scholars from Tsarist Russia and the Soviet Union were trained. For example, Gogol graduated from this.

It's just that in the Ukrainian uprising, pens were no match for guns. After the fall of Sumy and Kharkov, they were also occupied by rebels.

The only good thing is that the famous scholars and students of the university have already been dismissed and fled to Kiev, but there was not much loss of personnel.

However, the campus was in disarray by the rebels. The classrooms and dormitories were used as military camps and warehouses by the rebels, and the library was burned to ashes.

However, compared with the tragic situation of this city, this loss is not outstanding at all. The leader of the rebels entrenched here is named Igorevich, and he has about 10,000 fierce men.

This man was not born a serf, or he was indeed a serf in his early years, but because he could not bear the mistreatment of the serf owner, he killed the serf owner and turned into a bandit. He has been entrenched in the upper reaches of the Ostel River.

After the Ukrainian uprising broke out, this man went out with a dozen of his men to loot and gather a large number of desperadoes.

This man was addicted to alcohol and had a cruel nature. After entering Nirvana, he allowed his men to plunder everywhere, not only attacking the local tyrants to divide their fields, but also the civilians in the city. Preliminary estimates suggest that thousands of civilians died at their hands.

Even other surrounding rebels couldn't stand what he did and didn't even bother to be with him. If the desperadoes in his hands were not relatively tough, I am afraid that he would have been dealt with by other rebels without Dmitri fighting him.

So when the rebels learned that Dmitri had gathered tens of thousands of troops to attack Nezhin, everyone clapped their hands and cheered, wishing that Dmitri and Igorevich would fight to the death!

"What, those bastards really said that?"

Igorevich slammed the wine bottle to the ground, and the flying glass and wine splashed his hands in the face.

But no one dared to express displeasure, because Igorevich had already used his fierceness to tell everyone that betraying him and disobeying him would lead to death.

The person being questioned felt his knees weak and his legs weak. Looking at Igorevich's red eyeballs, he felt like he was about to faint.

But he didn't dare to faint, because Igorevich hated his subordinates not answering his questions.

The man trembled and replied: "Orginio said that he had limited troops and could not help. Rykov said that if he wanted to help us get food, we had to send him the food first, and then he would send Come here, as for Butning, he...he..."

Igorevich's eyes flashed fiercely and he asked viciously: "What did he say?"

"He...he...he told me to get out..."

boom!

Igorevich overturned the table in one move. Butinin was his old enemy. When he first fell into the trap of a bandit, that black dog hunted him. Even now, his legs hurt when it is cloudy and rainy. It was the root of the disease that that guy left behind for him.

After the uprising, he still thought about seeking revenge on that bastard and breaking all three of his legs, but who would have thought that this bastard with thick eyebrows and big eyes who ate the royal food would also transform into a rebel army.

Damn it, Igorevich just couldn’t figure it out. Are all the people following him blind? That guy is a policeman under the Tsar, a black bitch who helps the tyrants to do evil, so we should first peel off his skin and cramps and light up the sky lantern!

But what left Igorevich speechless was that there were so many people who defected to Butin. He had a total of 40,000 troops under his command, which was much stronger than him!

Not to mention that if he goes to seek revenge on someone else, if he doesn't come to trouble him, he'll be burned with incense!

This time Butinin offended him even more. Although the other Orginios and Rykovs also refused, they did not say anything to death. The guy actually told him to get out. He didn't have any face at all. No!

The more Igorevich thought about it, the angrier he became. He felt that he was really in trouble for eight lifetimes. First, he was inexplicably targeted by the army. What the hell are you doing in taking back Konotop? Hurry up and save Kiev! Go fight Orginio!

Why are you staring at me?

And you Butning, you old scheming old bastard, you don’t even understand the meaning of death and coldness. If I am taken care of by a black dog, do you think you can escape? They will definitely attack Icinia and you will be finished too!

It's just that there is no point in yelling and cursing here. Even if his throat is broken by cursing, no one will come to help him.

Full of resentment, he drank another bottle of vodka and slapped the table: "Damn it, if I don't have a good time, you can't even think about it. Aren't I just a black dog? The worst I can do is fight with them! Let you cowards see it too." See what a real man is!”

It's just that none of his men said anything. We are all foxes for thousands of years, and no one knows each other. You are notoriously greedy for money, lust, and fear of death. How can you fight with a black dog? I guess what you are thinking about right now is how to run away!

This guess is completely wrong, because Igorevich is not only thinking about how to run and where to go, but more importantly, he is thinking about which of his subordinates should help the rear to buy him time to escape!

He won't fight to the death! The most important skill he learned when he killed the serf owner and fled to the world was that his life came first. As the saying goes, if you can save the green hills, you won't have to worry about having firewood. If you lose your life, you really have nothing.

Therefore, even though he was really chased and hunted several times and had to "endure humiliation and survive", he never gave up his will to survive, and he would never give up even if he had to drink urine and swallow food.

This time was no exception. He simply analyzed the situation and believed that he could never be Dmitri's opponent. After all, he had tens of thousands of men, but he only had 10,000 men. He killed every one of them with one punch. .

Therefore, we must not fight head-on. We can only use the thirty-six strategies as the best strategy, abandon Nirvana, and run away for our lives first!

It's just that you have to find a direction to escape. According to his analysis, you can't go in the direction of Konotop. After all, the target of the black dog is Konotop. If you escape there, it will make no difference if you die a little later.

He wanted to escape towards Kiev, but Butinin's territory blocked his way. People had made it clear that they would not tolerate him, so it would not be easy to get past his territory!
