Solovyov in Tsarist Russia 1796.

In Montana, Solovyov deployed hussars at the outpost to monitor the movements of the Turkish troops in Sofia.

After the Russian army captured Vidin, it had actually formed a stable connection with Serbia. For a time, the Turks could only retreat to Belgrade and Niš, defending the big cities.

Bosnia and Bulgaria on both sides have most of the elite Turkish troops.

However, this strategic situation seems a little familiar after taking over Vidin.

When Solovyov was cutting off the Turkish army's transportation lines, he seriously imitated Commander Liao and gave a speech to the Russian part-time war reporters.

The situation is different. Probably the Turkish army's main artery has been really cut off. It operates from Macedonia and Albania. One has narrow roads, and the other has narrow roads, and there are also "troublesome people" from Montenegro nearby. They are good brothers of Serbia and will definitely help.

In this way, the Turks were also trying to find out how many Russian troops there were in the direction of Vidin.

However, when an important piece of information was transmitted from Sofia to Ahmed Pasha, it caused serious interference.

Strictly speaking, Solovyov had no intention of concealing his own strength. He still hoped that the Turkish army would retreat and not cause trouble for him.

However, the Turkish troops in Sofia knew that if they said too much, Ahmed Pasha might not send anyone over.

In this way, they only reported the estimated minimum strength of the Russian army.

Unlike some places where the enemy is coming in large numbers, the Turkish army may have a chance to win if they start the fight with fewer people.

The last sneak attack on Bucharest failed because Langgeron was well prepared. As the only deputy commander of the Russian army who was always on the battlefield, he did strengthen the security along the Danube River, which also made the Turkish army's sneak attack last year end in failure.

This time Solovyov has crossed the Danube. According to the general experience of the Turkish army, no matter whether he has 25,000 or 40,000 troops under his command, if they have already crossed the Danube, it seems that this disadvantage is actually an advantage for the Turks.

The reason for this is that the Turkish soldiers, who are always the most combat-ready "tough folks" from the mountains, are prone to failing in battle, but their courage is beyond doubt.

Even when they arrived at the Third Institute and met the Volunteer Army, they still dared to throw away their hats and become the last line of defense, going up to fight first. Even though they were defeated, at least they were not comparable to some long-distance runners.

In this way, there is always someone who gives them courage.

Solovyov didn't know at this time, he was still busy writing letters, not only to his wife, but also to his lover and friends. In short, during his short rest time at the front line, in order to prevent himself from getting nervous due to the high concentration, he did take these measures while organizing activities to liven up the atmosphere.

As for the letters to the front, they were not just from home. Although Solovyov's family flowers were already very good, he preferred the flowers grown in the palace, which was completely different from those in France who liked wild flowers.
Maria's letter to him contained a lot of strange words. They were already very familiar with each other when they were still in the palace and Maria was still a young girl, so they had a better understanding of each other's letter writing and speaking habits.

Moreover, even Maria’s husband didn’t know this code.

After reading it, Solovyov took a deep breath.

Damn, this little girl is totally impossible to get rid of. When I was in the Palace of Versailles, I thought I had satisfied her, but I didn’t expect that she would come with a gift.

Consider that Napoleon’s name was “The Lion of the Wilderness,” and he named his first illegitimate son Leon.

Solovyov himself might be Poleon, but that sounds like brandy
What he did is really like a tiger or leopard outside, and a lion at home. From the perspective of human sociology and biology, this is not very confusing. After all, there are people who have been completely promiscuous.

But if the child is a girl, let’s not talk about what will happen to Saxony first. When William II encounters Russia in the future, there may be even more fun.

Solovyov not only worked hard and made money, but also worked hard to have children. His sons must have lived in the golden age of Russia, but by the time of his grandchildren and great-grandchildren, if they are willing to continue to serve in the army.

If Germany could still be unified, Weiwei Yixiao might have to face a group of his relatives leading troops on the front line, and Russia's strength would have been greatly enhanced.

That's it. Solovyov thought about his own situation and decided that he might have to resort to revolution.

But he didn't know that he gave a large sum of money to Lenin's grandfather to make a cloak for his wife. After all, the mentor looked like Leonardo DiCaprio when he was young. In short, when you see his family members, you can't see this style except for his younger brother, so Solovyov didn't realize what was happening.

If he had lived long enough, he would have been able to see Ilya Ulyanov's life of struggle as an educator.

As for the rest of the things, the variables will probably become bigger as time goes on, and perhaps things that come later will also change.

The "system environment" he is in is probably the kind of fluidity that P-Studio has, not the kind that KOEI has. If you kill Sima Yi's entire family, a Sima Yan may pop up in the future. So will Russia be destroyed in the future?

It’s really hard to say!

In his reply to Maria, he wrote down some methods on how to take care of the body. Anyway, he was always more professional than the old Western doctors in Europe in this area.

In his reply to Katya, he urged her to get enough rest and take care of her health. Perhaps by the time this letter was on the way, their third child had already been born.

There was also a reply to his sister Yulia, telling her that everything was fine with him and Christian, and that the enemy did not seem strong, and did not even have the intention to take the initiative to attack.
This kind of front-line forecast was slapped in the face as soon as he sent the letter home.

Clausewitz was there holding a reconnaissance report of the Belarusian Hussar Regiment, his face looking somewhat serious.

"You just wrote a letter home, didn't you?"

"Yes, is there any urgent military information? You can ask this because you must have seen me sending the courier out. But don't worry, nothing will happen."

"You won the battle and defeated the enemy. But it seems that the Turks are unwilling to suffer a loss and are forming a new legion to compete with you."

"Ah, that's it. Although there are some errors in my report, someone has to take responsibility. I think the ones who will be in trouble in the end are probably the Turkish reinforcements. Why are they here to attack our not-so-weak detachment instead of guarding against Kamensky's main force? Although the Turks are a little stupid, they are not brainless and they still understand the basic military principles. It's not likely that there is a big threat to them."

"You let him think you were strong, but someone reported that you were weak here."

When Clausewitz said this, Solovyov's expression could be described as an evil smile.

This is different from his usual behavior. His emotions don't fluctuate much and he is relatively stable. "Karl, send someone to check the situation in Montana. The distance is not too far. If there are too many enemies, let them come over to fight. Even if the Turks come with 100,000 people, their combat personnel are limited. Not all 100,000 people are soldiers. Maybe there are merchants, servants, women and children among them."

"Why do you sound like a human trafficker?"

"Prussia also had serfs before this reform, and the reform did not even start as fast as Russia. In this regard, if they are human traffickers, it seems that they can actually gain freedom from me."

In short, Solovyov was also ready to do something big.

"Karl, if we want to fight the enemy, we have to choose a good location. We can leave Montana to the Turks. We don't need to rely on the mountains to fight. We can send them to the ferry."

"You mean to lure the Turks to the Danube? Then, defeat the enemy on the plain. The ferry should be a bait for you, right?"

"That's right. Since they think we are weak, we might as well give Lom to them. We changed the new traffic line to the side of Vidin. There is a bend in the river here. Although it is prone to flooding, the sandbar formed by the impact is still conducive to our construction of a pontoon bridge. I think the enemy can think of attacking our weaknesses, but they don't know that we have a backup plan."

"What are you going to do next?"

"If Uvarov, Arkady and Christian all come over, we can deal with them with only three infantry divisions and the cavalry."

"Don't be too confident. According to the organization table, you have a division with six infantry regiments, plus the cavalry and artillery of the division, which is only a little over 30,000. Don't overextend yourself."

"It's okay. I have a way."

Solovyov was very confident, based on his confidence in his own strength. Except for the superior quality of the Turkish cavalry, the rest of the situation was not very good. Even if there were too many people and lack of organization, they might still fail.

Moreover, the terrain of this place made Solovyov think of what Suvorov had taught him.

Looking at the direction of this river, you can tell that this place is very similar to the Battle of the Trebia River.

Solovyov was also trying to figure out how to fight this battle. He could use it as a reference because both Hannibal and his master defeated the enemy in the same place.

However, Hannibal was fighting Rome, while I was fighting Roma.

This country, Romania, and France are all civilizations that love bathing
Solovyov had been to the Turkish baths in Vidin. He had not expected that this place, where there were many Orthodox people, also allowed mixed bathing for men and women.

It seems that it is really civilized.

Now it was his turn and he also needed to predict what his opponent was going to do. If they took the mountain road from the Montana area and attacked directly towards Vidin, it would not be a good thing for the Turks who had more people.

They have demonstrated this more than once, but because of the huge number of garbage soldiers, they failed in the end. Kids, this is not funny.

Therefore, after capturing Montana, marching towards Lom along the Danube would also be beneficial to the deployment of troops.

But Solovyov was also very careful. He left a division and reinforcements from Serbia waiting on the mountain road.

There are many rivers from Montana to Vidin. When the Turkish army has to cross the river, it will be very lively.

On the one hand, the local Bulgarian compatriots will inform the Russian army of the situation, and the Turkish army's operations here are broadcast live throughout the process.

On the other hand, there are always loyal subjects of the Ottoman Empire who will tell the Sultan's army that the Russians have spies here. If you go this way, no matter how many people come, there will definitely be convenience on the other side.

Moreover, there is only one road along the mountain in this direction.

It seems that the advantage is that the numerical advantage is on the opposite side, and the rest of the advantages are on ourselves. Moreover, with the recent weather, there is no need to worry about the gunpowder getting wet, and there is no need to be afraid of the massive amount of garbage soldiers in Türkiye.

By the time the three main division commanders arrived, Solovyov had already conceived a battle plan.

"What I'm thinking of now is to have them come over from Lom. There's a bridge here, but we won't fight them by the river."

After hearing what he said, Christian, his brother-in-law, was the first to understand.

"Are you going to let some of the enemy cross the river here, and then fight them later?"

"Yes, after all, the ferry is located to the west from the Danube direct current boundary in Lom. If the Turks want to cause damage, they must come from this side."

"Okay, this is it, we can fight."

Uvarov agreed, but Arkady seemed a little confused.

"Misha, you participated in the Battle of the Trebia River. At that time, your father asked you and Prince Bagration to guard the right wing to block the Polish attack, but now you want to let the enemy come. Why?"

"If we want to imitate the situation at the Battle of the Trebia River, there is a prerequisite that our army and the enemy's army have similar numbers. Whether it is Hannibal fighting the Romans or us fighting the French, the strength of both sides is like this. The Turks are different. They have too many people, just garbage soldiers, and this number is too much."

"Calling it garbage is a bit unfair to our predecessors."

Although Uvarov mainly relied on courage in fighting, he was also very good at supporting roles.

And what was said now was more or less a reminder to Solovyov that these people were your relatives and old comrades, and Arkady was the son of your master, so it was okay for these people to hear it.

If someone with ulterior motives hears it, he or she will report it, so even if you are just making a joke, you have to stop there.

"Well, I'm just saying that the enemy's combat effectiveness is not strong. But we can't take it lightly, we have to find a way. And the whole battlefield plan is like this. We weaken the entire left wing, but leave the grenadier division with stronger combat effectiveness here, and two grenadier regiments as reserves. In addition, there are two infantry divisions and cavalry on the right wing, and it will be a fierce battle at that time."

He has to play the revolving door, or the preset position. When the time comes to fight the Turks, there are still some arrangements. The pressure is actually not small. (End of this chapter)
