Struggle in Russia

Kornilov was not surprised at all by the collapse of Lidakov and others. These three mallets had never been severely beaten by the rebels and had no idea how powerful the rebels were. They had dealt with a small number of rebels before. Just chopping melons and vegetables makes me feel like I am invincible.

As a result, they met the main force of the rebels. It was normal for them to be unable to hold back under the opponent's human wave tactics regardless of the cost. If they were held back, wouldn't it prove that the Russian troops in Ukraine before were all useless!

Facts have proved that these three are no better than the Russian army in Ukraine, and may even be a little worse. The reason why the Russian army in Ukraine was beaten by the rebels in the first place was because their forces were too dispersed, and they were often dealt with by one regiment or one battalion. Thousands or even tens of thousands of rebels.

There's nothing to say about being consumed to death if you can't hold on. After all, the power of firearms these days is not that great. There are no machine guns and other life-harvesting weapons. It's really hard to fight like this with old-fashioned muzzle-loading guns and smoothbore artillery. Not bad.

It was precisely because Kornilov knew that these three brothers were unreliable, so he did not follow him stupidly and rushed up. Instead, he occupied the favorable terrain and built a defensive position at the right time. So when the three brothers retreated in embarrassment with the remaining troops, they were defeated. He was just there to help.

The rebels, who were progressing smoothly, did not expect that Cheng Yaojin would be able to kill him halfway. Facing Kornilov's solid position, they had to give up their lives or give them away.

As a result, a bloody unilateral massacre occurred. The situation of the rebels, who were celebrating their victory just now, took a turn for the worse, and they vomited out the fruits of victory that they had already eaten.

Facing the frightened Lidakov and the other three, Kornilov really wanted to slap them. Look at the tricks of these three guys. After the first battle, the number of troops was severely reduced, and the total number of people capable of fighting was only 10,000. People. Who would have thought that more than a month ago they still had more than 30,000 people?

"Thank you. Without your timely rescue, we would have been doomed!"

Facing the thanks from Lidakov and the other three, Kornilov sighed: "Gentlemen, now is not the time to be downcast. Reorganize your troops immediately and gather all the forces that can fight to continue northward with me!"

Lidakov and the others were so stupid that they still went north? What are you doing going north? Continue to give away heads?

"Of course, go north to recapture Cherkasy!" Kornilov lectured angrily.

The three of them looked at each other and obviously didn't want to go. Also, they had almost lost their lives after being punished in a disgraceful manner, so why did they go north?

Kornilov said: "Of course we have to go north. Although you have suffered heavy losses, you have also dealt a heavy blow to the rebels. This is the time when they are in shock. As long as we concentrate our forces to attack together, they will only flee and regain Chelten." Kaser made it a breeze!”

Is it a piece of cake?

Lidakov and others didn't quite believe it, but now that Kornilov was resolute, and they still owed a favor, they had no choice but to bite the bullet and follow him.

However, they were mentally prepared to escape, and would turn around and run away as soon as the situation went wrong.

But what happened next once again refreshed their worldview. Kornilov led them quickly north and once again arrived at the outskirts of Cherkasy. Although they encountered a certain degree of resistance, it was really nothing.

The rebels were beaten away after three strikes, five divided by two, and they met some decent resistance until they rushed into the city, but the level was just that, at least for them who had experienced the desperate resistance of the rebels. It's a big deal.

It didn't take much effort for them to capture most of the city, and then?

Then something that stunned them happened again. Seeing that the situation was not good, the rebels turned around and ran away. In an instant, they fled without a trace, almost giving up the rest of the city.

Seeing Cherkasy easily in hand, Lidakov and others couldn't figure it out. Why did the rebels fight with them like crazy when they came out? And when Kornilov came on the field, the rebels almost fled?

Did they really encounter the same enemy?

Of course it was the same enemy, but Kornilov understood the rebel psychology and tactics better than they did.

The rebels are unsatisfactory in terms of military literacy and discipline. To put it bluntly, they are a mob that breaks out due to hunger and anger. They can risk their lives in critical moments of danger, but this kind of mentality cannot last long.

Once the situation changes, especially a roller coaster-like change, their will will break.

Just like just now, faced with the aggressive approach of Lidakov and others, they naturally had to fight to the death.

But after defeating Lidakov, according to their understanding, the next step is to gain victory, and they can beat the drowned dog smoothly.

As a result, Kornilov gave him a sudden sap halfway, and he was immediately stunned. At this time, their psychological gap was really too big, and they couldn't figure out why, so all they had left was fear and panic.

They felt that the Russian army was invincible and the only thing they could do was to escape for their lives.

If you give them a certain amount of time to recover, their mentality will slowly recover and then become very difficult to deal with again.

But Kornilov didn't give them any time to recover. He chased them all the way like sheep, constantly deepening their fear. But after the few among them who dared to resist were defeated, the rest naturally also So he ran away.

In short, Kornilov had a good grasp of their mentality and accurately calculated their performance, so naturally regaining Cherkasy was not a big problem.

To be honest, he didn't particularly care about it, because after regaining Cherkasy, he was unknowingly very close to Zogtonosa and Kiev.

To the northwest he could go to Kiev, and to the due north he could go to Zogtonosha. Lidakov and others were more interested in Kiev, but they were not as coaxing as before. Especially when they heard that there were nearly 400,000 rebels around Kiev, they immediately became intimidated.

The 60,000 to 70,000 rebels in Cherkasy taught them a good lesson. If you don’t know how much you have, you would be really stupid to go to Kiev to deliver food.

Of course they are not stupid, and of course they will not die. But Zogtonosa and the others don't want to go, because there are not many rebels there, and they are closer to Kiev, so the danger is very high!

Kornilov was not in a hurry to attack Zogtonosa, because it was still unclear what the situation was over there, and the top priority was to contact Dmitri so that he could concentrate his forces to do big things!

But when he sent liaison personnel and reconnaissance troops to head north, the news that came back made him frown...
