More than two hundred war horses rushed towards the Russian musketry team like arrows. The knights of the horses all had ferocious faces, and with their howling looks, they looked like wolves in the prairie. Wherever the wolves went, those who could not escape were those who could not escape.
The Evenkis were either knocked to the ground or killed by the horse knight's sword.
After the fast-loading Russian musketeers finished charging, they didn't know whether to shoot the Qing infantry in front first or the Qing cavalry that was flying towards them.
Damn Cooper, didn't he say that the Qing people were just a group of roving criminals? Why do they have cavalry! Vladimir's face turned green, and his fearful expression was no stronger than that of Cooper who was mumbling to himself. His teeth were broken
He couldn't help but tremble, and the right hand holding the command knife kept shaking.
"Fire! Fire!"
Looking at the cavalry who were getting closer and closer, with their faces clearly visible, Vladimir was about to collapse. He roared desperately, wanting the musketeers around him to quickly repel the cavalry, otherwise they would rush over and everything would be ruined.
It's over.
After hearing the order from their commanders, the Russian musketeers instinctively chose to shoot at the cavalry. With a "bang bang" shooting sound, dozens of knights fell down from the speeding knights, and some unlucky knights were even dragged by their horses.
They ran forward wildly. Those sergeants who were not good at riding and did not dare to run wildly were the luckiest. They fell behind and were not hit by the musket.
Zhao Qiang, who was charging at the front, was also hit by a fire cannon, but his iron armor successfully blocked the fatal lead bullet for him. Most of those who were knocked off their horses were foreign sergeants without armor, and there were also a few armored men.
Sergeant. These fallen sergeants had almost no chance of survival. Even if they were not hit critically, they were trampled to death by the horses of their companions the moment they landed.
However, the attack of the Russian musketeers was limited to this. Although they caused chaos to the galloping cavalry, the distance determined that they could not fire a second salvo. Therefore, the Russian soldiers in the front row finished firing their handguns.
After taking the shot, they looked back and chose to run back, running desperately. As they ran, Feiyala and the infantry who rushed forward rushed forward with confidence and boldness.
Taking advantage of the cavalry's protruding gap, they quickly engaged in hand-to-hand combat with the Russian musketeers.
The five to six hundred soldiers of all races who were watching also immediately realized that they did not need to retreat. When they saw that the cavalry had broken into the Rakshasa team, they were stunned for only a few seconds, and even the officers had not given the order.
, they spontaneously rushed forward again, and shouted loudly with great excitement. Before anyone arrived, the sound of killing the enemy could be heard far away, and each one of them acted as brave as a veteran of hundreds of battles.
When the saber slashed at a Russian soldier who was holding a firecracker and looking at him in fear, Zhao Qiang knew that the battle was won, and won easily and effortlessly. These Russian soldiers who performed miracles in Yaksa a few years later,
At this time, it was even worse than the Eight Banners garrisoning the red flag.
"Tolbuzin, you son of a bitch, you can't leave us!"
At Vladimir's curse, Tolbuzin, who always regarded himself as a Russian warrior, led his guards to seize several horses used by officers to travel. While the Qing cavalry and musketeers were entangled, they beat the horses and ran wildly. For those behind him,
For the curse of his good friend Vladimir, Tolbuzin could only say sorry from the bottom of his heart. It is your business to move eastward, and I have to rush back to my Yaksa.
Cooper was also running away. After Vladimir's men were rushed in by the Qing cavalry, he decisively decided to leave here, as far away as possible! Victory was no longer possible, and the most important thing now was to save his own life.
The group of musketeers who retreated with Cooper were his direct descendants, and they had maintained a relatively intact formation. After they retreated, the gunners who were still unloading their guns also began to flee, and those who had been forcibly recruited by them began to flee.
However, the strong men carrying the artillery did not choose to escape. Instead, they gathered tightly next to the artillery. They followed the example of the Ewenki people in front and squatted on the ground with their heads in their hands.
After the Russian musketeers fired their muskets, they were used as weapons. Some Russian soldiers who were born as bandits and had ferocious natures fought like trapped animals, using their long swords to resist the Qing attack. Vladimir
He also knew that the battle was lost. Although he still couldn't believe it, the facts before him clearly told him that he and his men were about to die here.
For the honor of the emperor, I must fight these damn Qing people to the end! Vladimir fulfilled the instinct and duty of an officer. He led the remaining one hundred musketeers to organize a small battle circle,
They used the attacks of the Qing infantry to effectively block the cavalry on the periphery, trying their best to support them just to survive.
Except for those who squatted and surrendered, the rest of the Ewenki people were like bereaved dogs, fleeing wildly in the surrounding mountains and fields. Although the remaining Russian musketeers resisted bravely, Zhao Qiang knew that they could not hold on any longer. For these Russian troops who resisted to the end, Zhao Qiang decided to let those Russian troops fight to the end.
The men are responsible for solving the problem, both to train them and not to lose too many experienced sergeants.
Seeing a group of Russian troops escaping to the northwest in an organized manner under the command of an officer, Zhao Qiang quickly asked Guo Fei to lead people to chase them.
"Brothers, follow me, no one can let them escape!"
When Guo Fei heard the order and was about to lead his men to chase the escaping Russian musketeers, he saw the Russian troops running towards the northwest turning around and running back, howling like ghosts and wolves, screaming as they ran, as if some wild beast was coming behind them.
"Qianhu, the Rakshasa people are back again!"
The sudden return of the Russian army surprised Zhao Qiang and Guo Fei. They saw the dust behind them flying, as if they were being attacked by another army, and they couldn't help but feel a little strange.
"Who is this group of people coming from?"
Zhao Qiang raised his head and looked northwest, wondering which army was coming. If it was the Qing army, he had to be ready for battle immediately. Zhao Qiang did not think that it was his own people, because Hu Wang's men would not attack so quickly.
Back, except for the troops Hu Wang brought to Morgan, there were no people from him in the northwest. If there were, there was only one possibility, and that was the Qing army.
"It's He Sanpao, He Sanpao!"
Just as he was wondering, he saw Chen Wei cheering, pointing to the distance and shouting excitedly: "Qianhu, Brother He Manchuan is back!"
I have never known how to describe the combat effectiveness of the Russian army. After reviewing the wars between Russia and Sweden at the same time and later with the Turks, Bones decided to describe the performance of the Russian army truthfully. That is, they were vulnerable. The reason why they were able to achieve so much in the Far East
The reason for the large amount of territory is that the Manchu and Qing armies were even more unbearable. This fact is really surprising, but it is the fact that the Eight Banners of the Manchu and Qing Dynasties are indeed decayed, and there are only a few elite Eight Banners who can fight to keep the Yellow Banner upright.
After checking the situation of the Eight Banners outside the Pass twenty years after Kangxi, we can finally conclude that the total number of elite Eight Banners outside the Pass was less than 6,000, and the number of troops stationed in the Eight Banners was 14,000.
