The reason why Zhao Xin sent out drones was because news came from the observation post on the western mountain that more than 100 cavalry dispatched by Tsarist Russia retreated.

Oh! Zhao Xin slapped his head and knew that he had made a mistake.

Only then did he realize that he should wait until most of the Russian army came out before launching the shelling. This would not only block the Russian army's retreat, but also quickly capture Mount Karen.

Now, all the enemies have been retracted.

So Zhao Xin ordered the artillery to stop the artillery immediately, and at the same time informed the various units to stop advancing and hide in a standby manner. This was because the Russian army's departure was very close to the ravine west of Mount Karen. If the artillery continued to be launched now, they would likely retreat to the mouth of the Jieya River through the ravine and then escape by boat. All ships of the Northern Navy have turned around and returned after the troops landed. They will transfer from Heilongjiang to the Huerha River and connect with Liu Sheng's troops in Ningguta to the north.

Although Zhao Xin has fought for several years, he has never studied military affairs and has no such origin at home, so he still cannot judge the battlefield.

In war, either they have high talent or even awesomeness, they will make a big splash, such as Chen Qingzhi, or they will be tempered in repeated failures, and fight again and again, such as Zeng Guofan.

But the problem is that Zhao Xin can win every time he commands. In addition, he has already received praise from "half a military strategist" among a group of time travelers, so you can't tell me about this.

By the way, Zhao Xin’s current ideas are actually quite contradictory. He wanted the Qing army to fight to the death with Tsarist Russia, but he also felt a little disgusted. To put it bluntly, he still wanted to incorporate these people; the northeast is too big, but there are too few people.

If you really disobediently, digging coal and gold is also a laborer, right?

After the shelling, the soldiers in Tsarist Russia were responsible for picking up the bodies thought the Qing army was too vicious! At the explosion site, they found many iron pieces and copper fragments. The Tsarist Russian officers at the survey site instinctively believed that the Qing army mixed these things into gunpowder to cause greater damage.

Bang! Bang!

The Tsarist Russian artillery troops used 4-pound cannons to shoot dozens of shells on the post roads before the Qing army positions, smashing the already bumpy ground, but there was no place where the explosion occurred. After the shelling was over, Bogaevsky sent scattered soldiers to search, and in the end no other places where the explosives were buried were found.

"It's just that coincidence? They buried these few, and they all met my people?" The Colonel's great mind was full of doubts. He decided to ask the priest of the army to pray for his subordinates, read two more blessings to get rid of bad luck.

The Qing army opposite didn't know what Rakshasa was trying to get crazy, and they all hid behind the cover to watch the fun. After Rakshasa finished shooting the cannon, the Qing army became even more confused.

"I said, are we digging holes to make these dogs unable to walk fast?"

"yes."

"But what do you think they are doing? Keep digging holes with cannons? Isn't this just a trick on yourself!"

"I can't understand either. Why don't you ask the assistant leader?"

"I won't go! You just saw it, the face of the assistant leader looked even more confused than that of us!"

After hearing the movements of the Rakshasa in Heilongjiang City, Eledemubu thought about it and couldn't figure out what the other party was selling in the gourd. In fact, if he had one or two Qing generals who had redeemed from Beihai Town before, he could understand that it must be the ones who were the North Hai Army who saw the explosion. After all, he had experience in being bombed, right?

The problem is that he really doesn't have any subordinates!

Since that's the case, when will you not run away at this time?

Of course, retreat is also knowledgeable. The plan of the deputy commander Eledemubu is to retreat in an orderly manner through layers of blocking, rather than running wildly, if he can't run ten miles, he will be killed by the cavalry of the Rakshasa.

First, after dark, the military and civilians in Aihui's old city began to evacuate. At the same time, the Qing army troops north of Aihui's old city gave up their positions and moved south to the second line of defense north of Heilongjiang. Behind this line of defense is a third line of defense, namely the barracks and temples in the south of Heilongjiang. From the third line of defense to the southwest, there are swamp areas on both sides of the post road, which can also delay the cavalry troops of the Rakshasa.

However, the Northern Navy was not idle that night. They carried out overnight construction on a hill one kilometer south of Heilongjiang City from the river bank, laying two anti-aircraft gun positions, covering the outside with camouflage nets and branches; at the same time, a company of defense troops were ambushed around the position. After all, Zhao Xin had only one guard company left.

At 6 o'clock the next morning, the Cossack cavalry in charge of reconnaissance discovered that the Qing army had evacuated from the first line of defense and immediately reported the situation to the headquarters. This news surprised Chief of Staff Colonel Fisher. They did not expect that the Qing army would give up such an important military fortress. Whether it was the old city of Aihui or the Heilongjiang City to the south, its fortifications were relatively strong, and the Qing army could completely resist fiercely.

Major General Alessandrov and Chief of Staff Fisher immediately convened a military meeting attended by the heads of each regiment. After some discussion with the congregation, they decided to continue the plan that died halfway yesterday. Everyone was eager to take down this important military town in the middle of Heilongjiang to open up the road to the downstream and Qiqihar; and Lieutenant General Suvorov will arrive in a few days, so they do not want to be scolded by the Lieutenant General for being incompetent.

At 10 a.m., the Cossacks who had a full meal set off.

Today is a cloudy day, with dark clouds on the deep sky, as if dull thunder will sound the next moment. The river water in the spring flood is slowly flowing, but the peaceful and peaceful water surface in the past is particularly dazzling because of the existence of dozens of Tsarist Russian warships.

At 10:15, the Russian army of Tsarist Russia continued to mobilize troops to come to the old city of Aihui at the previous rhythm, at the intervals of 15 minutes as the frequency.

This time, the Russian troops lined up in a long column on the way to the old city of Aihui. In order to ensure the safety of the left wing, Colonel Shiweilin led the Second Regiment to marching close to the bank of the Heilongjiang River. They burned all the houses on the roadside, and the Russian fleet also sent ships to protect them.

This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! This time Bogaevsky thought he was lucky, and the prayer he had found for the priest last night played a role. Until they crossed the first line of defense of the Qing army, they didn't even hear a sound of gunfire.

After entering the old city of Aihui, the Russian army set fire to all the houses in the city. The strong smoke pillars and the sky-sky fire illuminated the gloomy sky, and the black smoke pillars floated over the entire old city.

At 12 noon, Bogaevsky's first regiment arrived near the second line of defense of the Qing army, and two artillery companies of the combat column also arrived at the same time. While they were busy setting up artillery positions, the Qing army's fifty bird gunners ambushed in the woods a hundred meters away launched a sneak attack. After two rounds of volleys, they began to retreat to the second line of defense. Then, there were continuous roars of gunfire from the second line of defense.

Because the Qing army's artillery gunners made a preliminary measurement, these iron shells of four or three kilograms of light fell in front of the artillery company. However, because the Qing army's artillery was too slow to load, the Russian artillery was killed and injured only in the first round of artillery bombings. They then fired at the 4-pound cannon and 8-pound cannons, and the sound of the Qing army's artillery quickly fell.

Zhao Xin has been waiting since the morning, and his troops are also waiting. The observation posts on the western mountain and the drones in the sky have been staring at the movements of the Tsarist Russian army.

Six hundred people beat more than 10,000 people, and the patience and waiting before the war really made people feel panicked.

Even Zhao Xin saw from the drone that some residents of Aihui's old city would rather be buried in the fire than leave their homes, he bit his back teeth and endured it, although the scene was unforgettable for a long time.

At 12:20 noon, after learning that the enemy's reserve troops had arrived outside the old city of Aihui, and there were only hundreds of baggage troops left at the foot of Karen Mountain, Zhao Xin felt that the time for his waiting was coming, so he immediately ordered two artillery positions to start attacking!

The first thing to fire was the anti-aircraft gun position located in the southeast of Heilongjiang City. With the sound of "Dada" like a giant typewriter, more than a dozen red tracer shells were shot out from the top of the hills. A Tsarist Russian warship guarding the Shiweilin Column instantly fired fireworks. One after another, a series of explosions continued to sound around the warships, and the calm river surface suddenly boiled.

Monk Zhou, wearing a steel helmet, blew the whistle in his mouth, and the assault rifle in his hand also opened fire first.

"Kill all these bastards! No one left!"

With the roar of monk Zhou, the North Navy, hidden in the fortifications at the foot of the mountain, kept firing bullets at the enemy. Colonel Shiweilin, who was riding on the horse, had no time to react, but was shot like a sieve by the North Navy's machine gun and fell off his horse and died.

There is no way, who made him so conspicuous?

When the officers and soldiers of the Second Musketeer Regiment of Baikal saw the commander's death, they were in chaos. The panicked company commanders led their respective teams to shoot around. Behind them, one after another, the Tsarist Russian warships that were shot after another were like torches, turning the wide river red.

A company commander saw red lights constantly spraying on the top of the opposite mountain, like lightning, and exclaimed: "My God! What is that?! The magic of the Qing people!"

One kilometer away to the west, Colonel Fisher, the chief of staff of the Russian army, who was dispatching missions, heard the continuous explosions and his face changed drastically. He was about to order his subordinates to find out the reason, a loud "boom" almost tore his eardrums apart, and the air waves generated by the explosion overturned him to the ground. Before he could get up from the ground, more than ten seconds later, the huge explosion continued to sound in the Tsarist Russian reserve troops.

"I'm in the trap!" This was Colonel Fisher's last thought before falling into darkness.

This time, Zhao Xin's shelling order was not three rapid shots, but five shots. The North Navy in the three artillery positions was like crazy, constantly loading, fifteen high-explosion bombs... In less than a minute, they fired all fifteen high-explosion bombs.

Then, the artillery commander received the order to correct the coordinate data and eight rapid shootings, so the entire area where the Russian reserve troops were located was trapped in a hell of blood and fire. The explosions continued, and war horses neighed. Countless people were taken into the air by the explosion air waves, and then they were beaten to the flesh and blood by flying fragments.

On the second line of defense of the Qing army in the distance, the Qing army that was about to defend the temple and resisted the house was stunned by the huge explosion in the distance. They all forgot that they were on the battlefield and lay on the windows and roofs to watch. Whenever an explosion sounded opposite, the Qing army cheered loudly.

The continuous explosions in the north confused the Russian vanguard. Bogaevsky, who was commanding the attack, was about to break through the second line of defense of the Qing army, but the huge explosion behind him changed his face in an instant.

"Go and see, what's wrong!"

The successive explosions covered the gunshots of the Northern Navy's attacking troops towards Mount Karen. The two companies and dozens of Hezhe hunters also began to attack the rear of the Cossack Cavalry Company. The cavalry company commander who found the attack in the rear was shocked and hurriedly organized a counterattack. The Northern Navy moved into the trench dug by the Qing army before, and the Cossacks fell off their horses.

In the rain of bullets, the cavalry company commanded the living people to dismount and walk, trying to launch a reshoot, but after they fought for a long time, they found that the enemy who shot them was actually three hundred meters away!

The soldiers who kept falling down around him frightened the cavalry company commander to death. No matter what, he could not think of a musket that the "Qing Army" had fired more than 300 meters away and could accurately hit the target.

The cavalry company commander shouted loudly to the soldiers around him: "We are trapped by the enemy! These damn Qing people!"

"Major, what should we do?"

Based on the density of bullets on the opposite side, the cavalry company commander speculated that there were at least a thousand "Qing Army" musketeers, so he shouted: "Secretly, wait for rescue from the rear!"

Just as they were looking for a place to hide, a group of beggars suddenly emerged from the woods dozens of meters away on the left, and shot crossbow arrows in their hands at these Cossacks who were hiding behind rocks or trees. The group of people shot a round of arrows, then disappeared into the bushes; not long after, they emerged from another place to continue shooting.

This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! The Cossack cavalry was beaten to no avail. Get up and shoot. The "Qing Army" in the north has extremely accurate shooting skills. The dense rain of bullets knocked down the standing cavalry one after another. If you can't hide, you can only wait to be attacked by crossbow arrows.

The injured man screamed one after another, and a Cossack cavalry hid behind the stone, hugging his head and trembling: "I don't want to die! I don't want to die!"

A few minutes later, the gunshots subsided, and the beggars who were shooting with crossbows were gone; but these few minutes were as long as a night for the Cossacks.

Just as they poked their heads out of the hidden place and found that the "Qing Army" ambushed in the north had disappeared, the real Qing army came from the south.

The Qing army came with a 50-man cavalry team. They noticed this inexplicable battle a mile away. The cavalry school led the team could not think of who could actually suppress Rakshasa. Moreover, the Rakshasa cavalry who fought more than 100 people suffered heavy casualties. Later, the Qing soldiers responsible for close reconnaissance heard the group of guys wearing clothes talking to beggars, and then they found that they were all Hezhe people.

Since he is his own person, what are you waiting for! The Knight School didn't have time to think about why He Zheren suddenly became so powerful. He asked his subordinates to hold the horse and yelled after getting on the horse: "Kill!"

The Sorens riding on horses made great archery shooting, and each arrow could take away a Cossack life. These people were placed on horses at the age of three or four, and could gallop on the horse's back without a saddle when they were seven or eight years old. When they were ten years old, they were already like flat ground. When they were older, they started to hunt horses and hunt. If they failed to hit the arrow, they would definitely be ridiculed by their tribe members.

The end of the Cossack Cavalry Company came like this. The previous sneak attack from the Northern Navy made them unable to load the bullets after firing muskets, and the cavalry company commander ordered the soldiers to dismount, which made them lose their final resistance.

A long and whistling arrow was emitting a shrill whistling arrow to harvest the remaining Cossack life. A Sauron soldier was stubborn and picked up the stinging tiger gun hanging on the saddle and stabbed it into the chest of the Cossack Company Commander.

"Happy! So happy!" The cavalry school held the reins, and the war horses under him were also excitedly circling. He looked around and shouted: "Which hero is the team led by? Please come out and meet! The military will definitely receive a great reward!"
