After Zhao Qiang led his troops to set off, the team marched for an hour before walking less than ten miles. This speed made Zhao Qiang, Wu Si and others very worried and anxious, but there was nothing they could do. They even beat and scolded them.
However, these men were like mud unable to hold up a wall. They were beaten in front and took a few steps faster. When the officers passed by, their speed slowed down again. 【】uu After doing this several times, Zhao Qiang simply told Xiao Qi not to go any further.
After beating and scolding their respective soldiers, when he came out, these guys all had the same idea, that is, they didn't really expect to fight with the Rakshasa people. They were all working hard and couldn't do anything.
Since you don't want to contribute, then let's make it happen. Anyway, you will have to meet the Russians. What will you do then? Zhao Qiang thought that even if hundreds of pigs rushed towards the Russian army, it would be enough to give Cooper a headache.
.In short, no matter whether we succeed or fail, none of these men who are afraid of death will even think about running away.
The two hundred and sixty cavalry can go first, but without the men to offset the Russian firepower, they cannot fight alone. Even if they can fight alone, the battle loss ratio is absolutely unbearable by Zhao Qiang, so he must let the cavalry go.
Slow down the horse's speed and keep in line with the infantry. The distance between the front and back should not exceed one mile, because it is necessary to suppress the men who may mutiny at any time and form a deterrent to them. Go forward obediently and do not stop halfway.
Thoughts of escape.
Thinking of the protagonists in past life time-travel novels, after possessing them, they either descended to earth like gods, or their bastard energy exploded. No matter how small a mob they were, they were still a powerful army that could defeat ten thousand people. The weak defeated the strong, attacked the large with less, and so on.
The halo on his head is so dazzling that it can be said that he is in a disadvantageous situation. He is a natural commander. Anyone who comes under his command immediately changes into a different person. He is deeply impressed by the halo of the protagonist, and he is determined to move forward.
To fight for the protagonist. Regarding this, Zhao Qiang couldn't help but feel a little helpless. Why didn't I have that kind of luck? It was really a fate. If he had been allowed to return to this era a few years earlier, he might have been able to rely on the undefeated Wu army in the pass.
To do something, the Wu army at that time was considered a strong army. It could use the general trend and its military morale was even more available. However, today it has to rely on hundreds of defeated soldiers to start from scratch. It has to accumulate everything by itself. There is no territory and no army.
There is nothing in the logistics of the arsenal, and all the assets are a blank slate. Even the subordinates who lead the battlefield are a mixed group of people who are forced to fight hard. Leading them on the battlefield must always be on tenterhooks, not knowing when they can survive until they collapse.
When fighting, he does not worry about the opponent, but worries about his own troops. This battle can be regarded as useless. After taking a look at the sparse team behind him, Zhao Qiang smiled bitterly and reassured himself that he should not think so much about it.
Besides, the situation now is not much better than it was at Songshan Fort. At that time, there were dozens of people, but now there are more than a thousand people.
Wu Si suggested to Zhao Qiang that he might as well pick a few men to kill and intimidate them to speed up. Guo Fei also agreed to kill people to establish prestige, but Zhao Qiang did not agree. Although the marching speed was slow, they were moving after all, and they could barely keep the team.
The shape is still intact, which is already good. If we force them to march as fast as a regular army, it will be a bit difficult. Besides, killing a few people before the battle will not be of much use. On the contrary, it may have the opposite effect. Zhao Qiang said not to kill, but Wu
Si and Guo Fei naturally had no objection. After the three of them said a few words, Guo Fei rode towards a carriage behind the team. The carriage was escorted by two guards, Yan Qian and Xu Ping, and behind the carriage was Wei Jicong.
Three hundred taels of gold and six hundred taels of silver were taken out from the bank of Shouyi City. These gold and silver were used by Zhao Qiang to form a death squad when the battle was unfavorable.
The spy reported that the Russian army's camp location was at a water source thirty miles away. According to the current marching speed, it would be sunset by the time they arrived at the destination. Night is the best protection for both the offensive and defensive sides, so if
There was no exchange of fire with the Russian army before dark, so Zhao Qiang was not afraid of a sneak attack by the Russian army after dark.
The main force of the Russian army is four hundred musketeers. The Evenki auxiliary army is only a strong appearance at best, but it is afraid that it cannot be used in combat. Cooper does not have Cossack cavalry, so tactics such as cavalry raids are impossible, so Cooper
If you want to defeat yourself and take back Shouyi City, you must face yourself with his musketeers.
Zhao Qiang is not afraid of a head-on battle. Firstly, he has hundreds of cannon fodder to hold up in front. Secondly, the front-loaded blunderbuss equipped by the Russian army are similar to those of the Qing army. They need to be charged after firing, and they
They have not yet mastered the three-stage shooting method, and are pursuing a concentrated fire strike. Therefore, as long as the men successfully attract the Russian army's firepower, and Zhao Qiang leads his men to charge while they are charging, the chance of victory is still very high.
At least it would be better than defending Shouyi City and getting shot.
The original gun camp had 300 fire blunderbuss, and the Zhenghong Banner Qing army's fire blunderbuss captured in the Battle of Tu'erling also had 200 fire blunderbuss. However, apart from the Han sergeants, the only ones who knew how to shoot fire blunderbuss were the captured Sauron soldiers.
The gunmen of the Han army set out with Hu Wang and Qi Zhuang. It was found that Zhao Qiang had only more than forty gunmen in his hands, and the other dozens of Sauron soldiers were the others. Even if they were given fire guns, they would not know how to use them.
Therefore, they are equipped with swords, spears, bows and arrows.
The more than forty Han army gunmen did not have guns for this battle, but all used Cossack sabers. Like them, the 260 cavalrymen, including Zhao Qiang himself, all used sabers and Qing army swords. Those dozens
Sauron's soldiers who are good at using fire cannons are equipped with fire cannons, and they are prepared to be assigned to the front charge team. Zhao Qiang's requirement for them is that the fire cannons can sound. It doesn't matter whether they fight the Russian army or not. The key is them.
He was going to be beaten, otherwise how could Zhao Qiang lead the army and take the opportunity to rush in.
After the team moved forward for another mile, they saw two riders galloping towards them from the northwest. They were spies sent by Zhao Qiang to conduct reconnaissance.
"Report!"
As soon as the two spies saw Zhao Qiang in front of the cavalry, the first one shouted: "Report to Qianhu, the Rakshasa army is less than three miles away from us!"
"It came so quickly!"
Zhao Qiang was shocked. The Russian soldiers who delivered the message were afraid that they had not arrived at their camp yet. Why did the Russian army come? He suddenly thought that Cooper might be deceiving him and had someone deliver the message to him in order to confuse him into thinking that he was cheating.
While he was still waiting for a reply, secretly, as soon as the person who delivered the letter left, he led his troops towards Shouui City, probably hoping to catch him off guard.
Damn it, if I hadn't acted quickly, you would have already reached the city! After thinking about this, Zhao Qiang snorted coldly and gave the order.
