At 7 a.m., the Russian troops stationed in Emulkaron received a report from the front patrol.

A small unit of the "Qing Kingdom" was discovered, with a size of less than fifty people, and was discovered by the patrol team in time and blocked at the foot of the mountain twenty miles away. At present, the two sides are fighting fiercely, and the enemy's firepower is very strong and reinforcements are urgently needed.

The reason why Emulkarun's position is important is that the terrain here is condescending to the ancient city island. In fact, the terrain of the area of ​​Jaxa is rising from north to south. After the Russian army occupied Emulkarun, he could block the fleet of attacks from the south of the ancient city island by erecting cannons here. Once Emulkarun is lost, the Russian army can also retreat to the ancient city island through the pontoon bridge set up on the river.

The local garrison troops included two hunting battalions, a cavalry battalion and five artillery pieces. The garrison commander was named Lieutenitsky.

After receiving a request for help from the patrol in front, Listnikki speculated that this must be the reconnaissance force of the "Qing people". After a brief consideration, he decided to send three companies to completely eliminate the "Qing army" to increase the morale of the troops. Of course, it would be even better if he could capture a few prisoners back.

The lieutenant colonel issued an order, and the Cossacks who had just woken up and had not had breakfast began to gather under the loud voice of the sergeant commander.

"Everyone brings dry food! Remember to get a few more bombs!"

"What happened? Sir?"

"The Qing people are here, let's go and beat it."

"Okay." The young Cossack, who had already stood at attention, touched his chest habitually and shouted: "I forgot to bring my runes and crosses, so I have to go back to the tent to get it."

"Damn kid, when will you gain a better memory? You will lose every time."

The so-called runes are the amulets carried by the Cossacks when they went to war. This thing has existed since the age of cold weapons, such as gun-avoiding spells, war-avoiding spells, and charge-breaking spells; copying whatever you like depends on your personal preferences.

However, since the Russian troops began to fight with the Northern Navy north of Guigudal, the Cossacks' favorite copy is the "gun avoidance spell". They all hid the copied spells in their close shirts, tied them on the cross chain, placed them on the sacred objects that protect peace given by their relatives, or tied them on small bags wrapped in the soil of their hometown. Although Death will not spare those who carry spells, it is better to have such things than not.

"Microsty Saint Mikola, bless us to be invincible..."

The morning of August was a bit stuffy, and the sky was covered with clouds, covering the sun. The two companies of horseback infantry set out first, and the cavalry had already set out along the open land of the river bank.

The Cossacks rode on horseback and marched in a row in a row in a row in the forest. The drummers in front of the line beat the dull drum beats to guide the troops' movements.

"Cha~Cha~Cha~Cha~Cha~Cha~Cha~"

Half an hour after Emuer's Russian army set out, a Russian colonel who received the news walked into a room in the castle of Yaksa after knocking on the door. In the room, there was only an old man with gray hair and nearly 60 years old. Seeing the colonel in, the old man asked in a casual tone: "Dear Vasilyevich, you knocked on the door so quickly, are there anything urgent?

This is an old man with a slightly hunched back, a little lame legs, a short head. His face was covered with wrinkles and his nose was not straight enough. He blinked a pair of blue eyes under his raised eyebrows. The sparse hair behind his head was combed into a small braid and tied with a silver-gray ribbon. Unlike other senior European generals of this era, he did not apply any makeup.

The old man wore a gorgeous black military uniform that was very well-ironed and ironed. Whether it was the star of Saint Alexander Nevsky on his chest, the long sword of imperial gifts on his waist, or the high-end ribbon of "St. Andre Pervozwanne" with his shoulders, it all showed that this person was the commander of the army of Tsarist Russia invaded the Qing Dynasty and General Suvorov.

This is a pure and strict soldier. Compared to the embarrassing situation where he went to Crimea to become a famous general and even a squad could not command him. Suvorov would rather let Po Jiangjin show his attention to the Turks and come to the east to command the offensive against the Qing Dynasty.

"Admiral, our troops patrolling fifteen Russians south of Emuer camp discovered the enemy's reconnaissance team! Because the opponent's firepower was too strong, Lieutenitsky had ordered two companies to support him."

"Well." Suvorov signaled the colonel to mark the location of the patrol fire on the map. He stared at the map for a while and said with a smile: "The enemy's firepower is fierce, and only a quick attack can have hope of success. The more our army, the more we will be exhausted, the defense is chaotic, and the ammunition is wasted. Listenitsky's decision was correct."

In fact, the reason why Suvorov ordered the hunting troops to block the enemy in the form of small groups after he noticed that the Northern Navy went north was to understand his enemies through constant contact and exchange of fire.

Later generations Clausewitz said that war is an act of human interaction. It is better to say that war is more like a certain trade act than a certain kind of technological competition.

It was through the continuous "interaction" over the past few dozen days that Suvorov had a certain degree of understanding of the unusual opponent of the Northern Navy.

The so-called strategy is actually based on our situation, enemy situation and people's situation. If you don't understand your opponent and don't know yourself, you can't talk about formulating a strategy to defeat your opponent. Suvorov has never been a person who is willing to defend passively. He discovered the strengths and weaknesses of his opponent through repeated battle situations, so as to seize the opponent's weaknesses in defense and achieve a quick counterattack.

In his opinion, the "Qing Army" opposite was a unit with extremely strong firepower. The soldiers were brave in combat, able to operate weapons proficiently, and had strong discipline.

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content later! Their commanders acted decisively and resolutely, and did not hesitate to ammunition. Even if there were small groups of enemies, enemy soldiers would use a dense rain of bullets to lift their heads through almost wasted methods, and then they could not raise their heads by circumventing the flanks.

Based on the information obtained before, Suvorov speculated that this unit must have been prepared by the Qing emperor to deal with the rebel armed forces entrenched in the Ussuri River. This also explains why the Qing reinforcements could arrive quickly as soon as Alessandrov arrived in Aihui.

This made him a little envious. No wonder the Queen had been hesitating whether to go to war with the Qing Dynasty before. She could maintain a force of thousands of people to fight for thousands of miles of long-distance combat, and also provided a steady stream of ammunition supplies. In addition to a huge and prosperous country like the Qing Dynasty, even Tsarist Russia was not able to meet it.

However, it was precisely because Zhao Xin and Liu Sheng used the fierce tactics of the fleet's accompanying supply in the later stages and the attacking forces to advance layer by layer that Suvorov also discovered the weakness of the North Navy.

First of all, he felt that the "Qing general" he had fought with him before must be a guy with a violent personality, and this was exactly the taboo of senior generals. A person who is prone to excitement and irritability is not suitable to become the commander of the army.

The biggest advantage of this kind of person is that he has motivation, but this motivation often does not last for a long time. Only lower-level officers need people who are easily excited about their emotions, because a fierce rush is only a matter of minutes; while a fierce battle takes a whole day, and a battle situation takes a whole year or even several years.

Secondly, in terms of strong firepower, this is an advantage that no one can match and a weakness. With such a large ammunition consumption, once the logistics cannot keep up, you will soon fall into trouble.

I have to say that Suvorov saw Liu Sheng very thoroughly and pointed out his personality weaknesses. Not to mention Zhao Xin, the three leaders of the North Navy all have their own personality defects, otherwise they would not be so unsatisfied in another time and space. From the perspective of dark human nature, Zhao Xin also saw the defects in these people's personality, so he could control the North Navy with ease.

Of course, Suvorov can't even calculate "monsters" like Zhao Xin in the world, otherwise he would definitely organize the entire army to retreat immediately.

Two hours after the firefight started in the morning, when the reconnaissance team began to appear wounded, Seldan felt that he was a little arrogant. He should not be greedy for the capture of the lieutenant, but should have retreated from the beginning. Now the reconnaissance team has been stuck with by the Russian army, so he had to ask for help from the rear through the accompanying radio station.

Relying on the cover of jungle terrain, the Russian patrol kept closer to the fire exchange between the two sides and finally entered within 100 meters. Although a mortar with a hand-held mortar could not explode, relying on the only remaining one, the Russian army dropped two grenades into the reconnaissance team's position and injured two people on the spot.

In fact, after participating in the North Navy for so long, Seldan's biggest problem is that he can resolutely carry out the tasks assigned to him by Zhao Xin, but his overall strategic vision is insufficient. Especially since the North Navy has defeated different opponents many times in recent years, there is a general mentality of blind arrogance within it, and Seldan is the same.

The cautious and calm hunter who could escape from the siege with one bow and three iron arrows had long disappeared, and was replaced by the North Navy reconnaissance captain who ignored his opponent.

Many soldiers think that they can sweep the world with their weapons. The problem is that an army trained with modern weapons and tactics is also very staggering.

Although Beihai Town has its own bullet manufacturing equipment, the scrap rate is still very high. It is very simple to make a bullet that can be fired, such as a hunting gun bullet, the threshold is very low. However, it is too difficult to create thousands of bullets with exactly the same ballistic performance!

The threshold for military bullets is very high. It does not mean that you can imitate them in large quantities with a few 7.62 bullets. Metallurgical technology level, processing accuracy, and mature gunpowder production lines all restrict the threshold for bullet production. The most important thing among them is the composition ratio of bullets. In later generations, the composition ratio of gunpowder is all state secrets.

It is easy to build a new gun, but it is difficult to create a bullet suitable for a new gun. For example, the famous 95 was because the bullets were not up to standard in the early days. In addition, a large number of experimental tests were required to obtain the best ballistic data, ammunition initial velocity, etc., and then continuously improve them. These are inseparable from a large number of mathematical calculations.

From this point of view, Zhao Liang's military-industrial and steel consortium is currently just a "military-industrial and steel joint workshop".

(Some people say that not everything can be built in Pakistan, and the equipment is not very advanced. The problem is that they have been engaged in their father's business for more than 100 years and are too familiar with the technology. Even so, a handicraft workshop produces millions of bullets with consistent performance per year, and he can't do it even if he kills it.)

The Russian cavalry finally arrived at the attack position after a large-scale detour. Two soldiers from the reconnaissance team also discovered the enemy on the back.

"Captain, the enemy cavalry is here!"

"Get this!" Seldan handed his assault rifle to the soldier behind him, changed to the other party's semi-automatic, and instructed: "Shot! Go ahead and hit!"

The Russian cavalry lined up. Because of mosquito bites, the horses shook their heads and made a buzzing sound. The warrant officer who led the cavalry pulled out the saber from the scabbard, and the blade was shining with a dull blue light.

The cavalry lieutenant rode a horse with a well-proportioned and jumping endlessly and ran to the front of the team. He held the reins tightly and wrapped the sabers in one hand.

"Everyone!" "The warrant officer pointed to the right with his sabre, then to the left, and then to the forward, stopping above the raised horse's ears. "Become a scattered line, move forward!"

As the sound of horse hooves began to sound in the silence, the fifty Russian cavalry lined up a formation of more than 200 meters wide, which made the dozen reconnaissance team responsible for the blocking of the attack immediately not know which one to aim, but time was tight, so they had to take the lead in firing.

"Bang! Bang!"

The Russian cavalry advanced at a constant speed in the rain of bullets and bullets, and the horses' pace continued to accelerate. When they approached less than a hundred meters from the reconnaissance team, the warrant officer shouted violently and took the remaining thirty people to speed up.

"Pick up the spear, put away the saber, and charge!"

The ground moaned dullly under the trampling of dozens of horse hooves. The Cossacks put their spears flat and the horses under their crotch began to run at full speed. The figure of the cavalry warrant officer was rising and falling in the woods, and the horses shouted.

The war horse first curled up its four legs, then stretched out, and jumped seven or eight meters away. In the screams, the crackling sound of gunfire became more and more intense. The two assault rifles of the reconnaissance team kept firing, and the bullets emitted made sharp whistlings, spreading out in the woodland like a fan.

At the same time, the Russian infantry in the west also began to attack the reconnaissance team. They ignited all the remaining grenades, and a large number of white smoke rose up in front of the reconnaissance team's position, disrupting the reconnaissance team's shooting sight. The Russian infantry then formed a scattered formation of ten people in a row and rushed towards the reconnaissance team.

At this time, Seldan fired all the rifle bullets. He didn't have time to load the bullets, so he grabbed the bow and drew several arrows from behind. He just felt that he shot several arrows in a row according to the warrant officer in front, and then continued to aim at the next one, and in a blink of an eye, seven or eight arrows were shot.

"Grenade!" With a shout, more than a dozen North Navy wooden grenades flew out of the reconnaissance team's positions. They rolled and passed through the air. When they arrived at the heads of the Russian infantry formation, the banging explosion shook the earth, and the Russian infantry suddenly became dead and injured. The surviving Russian army even lost their weapons and fled in panic. The two hours of suffering had exhausted all the courage of the patrol team.

The remaining Russian cavalrymen behind the reconnaissance team have also fled south, and they dare not rescue their companions who were shot and fell off.

While ordering everyone to retreat, Seldan counted the number of people. At this time, less than twenty people were left in the reconnaissance team. The most serious injury was a guy who stood up and shot. He was pierced by the cavalry's spear while changing magazines. He lost serious bloodshed and was almost out of reach.

While the Russian army had retreated, Seldan and others made a brief bandage on the wounded, and the injured soldiers were all helped to the horse, and then they began to retreat to the southeast.

The group had just walked out more than a mile and the scouts responsible for cover discovered that more Russian cavalry were surrounding him from the east, which shocked Serdan. He did not expect that Rakshasa's counterattack would come so quickly.

At this moment, figures swayed in the woods in the southeast. With loud questions and answers, more than 20 soldiers from the Northern Navy emerged from behind the trees, and the troops coming from the Duojincheng camp finally arrived. Seldan couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and he couldn't help but sit on the ground exhausted.

After a while, as gunfires began to sound one after another, more and more North Navy soldiers ran past the reconnaissance team. Seldan was a little surprised. He grabbed a platoon leader and asked, "How many people have you come?"
