Chapter 1369, this is the Daming Iron Cavalry sweeping the world
"Ula~"
Accompanied by cheers, dozens of Muscovite cavalry waved their swords and rushed towards Zhang Wei and other members of the Black Sea Escort Agency.
Ruslan doesn't care who you are from the Ming Dynasty. The Ming Dynasty is thousands of miles away from the Principality of Moscow. No matter how powerful it is, there is nothing to worry about.
What's more, the people of the Principality of Muscovy have a deep hatred for the Ming people. This hatred lies in the fact that the Ming people bought and sold slaves in the hands of the Tatars at high prices, which stimulated the Tatars to continue to plunder the Slavs in the north.
At the same time, what is even more disgusting is that the Tatars were originally poorly equipped and could not pose much of a threat to the Slavic cities. However, the Ming Empire sold cannons and explosive packs to the Tatars, and now they have these two things.
The previously indestructible cities became in danger. Many large cities were captured by the Tatars, and more than 100,000 people were captured and plundered by the Tatars at one time.
They hate the Tatars and they also hate these Ming people.
If it were not for the people of the Ming Dynasty, although the Tatars plowed grass and paddy every year, they only plowed paddy in autumn and winter every year, and were busy grazing at other times. The Slavs could also farm at home with peace of mind.
But now, there are Tatars working full-time to thresh the fields all year round, leaving their cattle and sheep behind.
In the past, the Slavs could redeem their relatives through redemption, but now, because the Ming people have raised the price of slaves, the poor Slavs have no way to compete with the Ming people economically.
, can only watch helplessly as their relatives are sold like livestock to the ends of the earth.
The hatred in their hearts made many Slavs who knew all this full of hostility towards the Ming people, and Ruslan was one of them.
At this moment, looking at these Ming people entering the Principality of Moscow, he wanted to kill them all.
"Ula!"
Ruslan held the cross sword and rushed towards Zhang Wei like an arrow from the string.
"kill!"
Zhang Wei's expression was serious, just as he expected.
The more remote a small place like this, the greater the probability of encountering a battle. As expected, these Slavs directly attacked when they saw themselves. Even Alexei and Andre's persuasion had no effect.
But those who work as escorts are prepared for all situations they will face.
Following Zhang Wei's order, more than a dozen bodyguards came to Zhang Wei's side on horseback behind him, and stood side by side, with their eyes calm and steady.
"Musket~"
Zhang Wei gave an order, and more than a dozen muskets were aimed at Ruslan and others who were rushing forward.
"Bang~bang~"
Soon, a burst of intense gunfire rang out, and billowing white smoke drifted in the wind.
Several figures fell from Ruslan's side, and their hit rate was very low.
The muskets that can be purchased legally by the Escort Bureau are obsolete and outdated products. They are not the most advanced muskets like the Ming Dynasty. They are old-fashioned smoothbore guns with a really terrible hit rate.
"Hiss~"
However, Ruslan couldn't help but take a breath.
Even though the muskets in Zhang Wei's hands are lagging behind compared to the muskets of the Ming Dynasty, for the Muscovite side, the muskets in their hands are still high-quality and good muskets. From a distance of hundreds of steps, ten
A few muskets actually killed several of our own people in one go.
"Ula~"
"Rush over!"
Ruslan shouted loudly that it took a long time to load the gunpowder. As soon as they got close, let them taste the power of the Slavic swords.
"Bow and arrow!"
However, Zhang Wei did not continue to use the muskets. With an order, everyone put the muskets on their backs again, and then took out their bows and arrows very neatly and uniformly.
"咻~咻~"
Sharp arrows flew through the air and arrived at Ruslan and the others in the blink of an eye. All of a sudden, a dozen figures fell down.
"Huh~"
Ruslan took a breath of air.
The archery skills of the group of Ming people in front of them must be too great. They only had a dozen riders. A wave of bows and arrows came over and they actually killed twelve of their own people on the spot.
If there are a few more waves of bows and arrows, this person has not reached the opponent's side yet, and the dozens of people on his side are not enough for the opponent to kill him.
Just as he finished his thoughts, another wave of bows and arrows came from the opponent.
This time, the distance between the two sides was even closer. Fourteen people were shot off their horses. In just two waves of attacks, Ruslan looked around him. More than half of the people had fallen, and they were lost one by one.
The owner's horse stopped alone and kept moaning in a low tone.
"this…"
Ruslan was a little unbelievable. Did he meet the Ming Dynasty's sharpshooter?
Although there were only a dozen people on the other side, all of them were sharpshooters. Two waves of bows and arrows fell, and more than twenty people were just gone?
Before he could recover, the third wave of bows and arrows came again, and more than a dozen figures rolled off their horses again.
At this moment, the people who had been rushing towards the other party quickly stopped their horses, and looked at the dozen or so people on the other side in horror, as if they had seen a demon.
The same goes for Alexei, Andrei and Sergey. They all widened their eyes. They really couldn't believe the scene in front of them?
"Are they all sharpshooters?"
Sergei's eyes were dull, and his whole body was trembling with fear.
"This is the Ming Dynasty soldier?"
Alexei and Andrei looked at each other, and they both saw deep fear in each other's eyes.
"The Ming Dynasty Iron Cavalry really deserves its reputation!"
Alexey took a deep breath and sighed softly.
He is also a soldier. He marches and fights and travels all over the country. He has seen a lot.
But this was the first time I had seen such a terrifying cavalry. Even the grassland tribes, who were famous for their cavalry and archery, were definitely not so terrifying.
When he was in Ningguo, he heard many legends about the Ming Dynasty's cavalry. He didn't believe it before, but at this moment, he had to believe it.
Although these escorts, composed of veterans of the Ming Dynasty, only had a dozen or so horses in front of them, they felt as if they were thousands of troops at this moment, and a terrifying momentum came over them.
"kill!"
Here, after three rounds of volleys, Zhang Wei took out the saber in his hand and rushed towards Ruslan at the lead.
"kill!"
"The Ming Dynasty is mighty! The Ming Dynasty will surely win!"
Behind him, more than a dozen riders drew their sabers and shouted slogans and followed Zhang Wei.
"Let's go~"
Ruslan was frightened by the fact that he had been killed at this moment. His eyes that were red with hatred turned to fear, as if he had seen a demon from hell. He actually turned around and was about to run away.
Although there were more people than the other party, the momentum exuded by the other party and the frightening cavalry shooting made Ruslan break into a cold sweat.
Ruslan rode desperately to escape, but Zhang Wei did not intend to let them go.
They fled, but Zhang Wei chased them. The horses Zhang Wei and others rode were all high-quality horses purchased in the Crimean Khanate, but the horses Ruslan and others rode were far inferior to Zhang Wei and others.
people.
He was soon chased by Zhang Wei and others. There was no nonsense. He was shooting arrows while riding a horse. In less than ten minutes, the battle was over. Even Ruslan did not escape and was directly slashed by Zhang Wei.
die.
"Bah~"
After hacking Ruslan to death, Zhang Wei spat fiercely at the opponent.
You didn't want to cause trouble, but if you insist on seeking death, then you can't blame us.
"Clean the battlefield, deal with it, and move on~"
Then Zhang Wei gave another cold order.
"Yes~"
The dozen or so bodyguards under his command didn't waste any time. They quickly collected the corpses, dug a hole and buried them. They took away all the valuables. There were also three horses per person, so they could just swap rides.
"Huh~"
"Is it all gone?"
Seeing this scene in front of him, Sergei was frightened to death.
These Ming people were so ruthless. In just a blink of an eye, dozens of cavalry were killed by them without any casualties. Such terrifying combat effectiveness made people wonder whether this group of Ming people were actually Ming people.
The Emperor's Praetorian Guard.
"I hope the people of Muscovy will stop provoking the Ming Dynasty people."
Alexei and Andrei were also shocked and could not calm down for a long time. They could only pray silently, praying that nothing would happen again.
"Mr. Xie, Mr. An, are you okay?"
Zhang Wei rode up to the three of them and asked with a smile.
"It's okay, it's okay~"
The two said in unison.
"That's good, let's continue our journey."
Zhang Wei said with a smile as if nothing had happened.
"Are we still going to Moscow?"
Sergei was a little unbelievable. This group of Ming people in front of him killed dozens of Moscow cavalry. How dare they continue to go to Moscow pretending that nothing happened?
"Of course, why not go?"
"As long as our escort has not been completed, even if the front is a mountain of swords and a sea of fire, we will still go through it. This is the supreme mission of our Ming escorts!"
Zhang Wei smiled and replied.
"But, but, you killed dozens of cavalry, they will definitely retaliate against you?"
Sergey was dumbfounded. There were actually such people in the world who were not even afraid of life and death for the so-called mission.
"so what?"
"If something happens to us here, then the Principality of Moscow will be prepared to bear the wrath of our Ming Empire. If a dozen of us die, thousands or tens of thousands of people may be needed to bury us!"
Zhang Wei smiled and said with an indifferent expression.
He had already made a clear report at Kaffa Seaport before coming. If he did not return to Kaffa Seaport on time, the Ming Dynasty would directly put pressure on the Muscovite Principality and even use force in the future.
"..."
When Alexei, Andrei, and Sergey heard this, their mouths opened wide, not knowing what to say.
Soon, everyone set off again, one person riding three horses. From time to time, these bodyguards were very skillful in changing horses on one horse. They were very skillful and did not give in at all compared to the nomadic tribes on horseback.
