"Take the back of the Ming army's musketeer camp, and the Cossacks will win!" Yegor, the commander of the cavalry of the Rakshasa Country, raised his scimitar in his hand and screamed.

The Cossacks were not a certain people, but rather a mixed nomadic group, including Turks, Leagues, Slavs, and Georgians who had to move westward after being beaten by the Tang Dynasty.

These four peoples were all peoples on horseback, and the Cossacks had always fought to the death and never retreated.

It was with the ferocious Cossack cavalry that Muscovy seized large territories to the east and south.

"Oh-oh-" The Cossack leader shouted, screaming and rushing towards the oncoming cavalry of the 3,000 battalions of the Ming Dynasty.

"Xiao Wu, you will stay behind with your people later, and see how my brother and I break the enemy!" Lu Haibo is two years older than Wu Binghao, and both of them joined the army during the first conscription in Beijing two years ago.

"Don't talk about Lao Lu, these foreign vassal people are not Korean slaves, the prince said not to fall into a melee, you and I can't afford to spoil the prince's big business."

Wu Binghao was not angry, but just patted a row of grenades on his waist.

Both of them were promoted to generals step by step because of their military exploits, although Lu Haibo always loved Xiao Wu and called him to show his superiority, but Wu Binghao knew that this guy had always taken good care of him in addition to being competitive.

Although the main force of the Ming army has been transformed from cavalry to musket infantry, cavalry is still very important, but what Liu Hong gradually needs is the mobile force of cavalry, rather than the brave rush in the past.

Under the full match of the cavalry of the Ming Dynasty, each soldier wore steel armor on the outside and leather armor on the inside, carrying five grenades, a short gun with an attack distance of thirty paces, and a Yanling war knife.

has gone straight from a single knife to a guerrilla grenade projector, even if it is close to the enemy, it can also draw a cold shot first and then draw a knife, belonging to the generation of cold weapons charging into battle, in the Ming Dynasty has passed.

"It's coming! Take the bomb! Although Lu Haibo wanted to rush in and kill him, Liu Hongjian couldn't help but listen to his order, so he had to shout and change the topic.

The cavalry battle ensued in an instant, and the two could almost see the Cossacks' messy hair, as well as the glittering swords at their waists and the bows and arrows in their hands.

"Bomb dropping!" When the distance between the two sides was still seventy or eighty paces, Lu Haibo and Wu Binghao each ordered, and the cavalry of the 3,000 battalion immediately pulled out the grenade fuse and threw it into the open space in front with all their might.

Then the cavalry who threw the grenade, led by Lu Haibo and Wu Binghao, circled to the left and right respectively, handing over the battle formation to the cavalry who were ready to throw grenades.

The grenades used by the cavalry were not the same as those used by the infantry grenadiers, and their fuses were specially lengthened to target the cavalry in the enemy army.

Throwing grenades in turns, the cavalry of the 3,000 battalions reached the end, almost forming an oval circle on the left and right.

Bursts of black smoke suddenly rose from the position between the two armies, and the Cossacks saw that the Ming cavalry had not yet started the battle and made a mess of themselves, thinking that the Ming army was all rats, and Yegor almost howled and rushed to the front.

Boom boom - boom boom - after a few breaths, the grenades exploded one after another on the battle formation, trampled by the iron hooves of the Cossacks.

After conquering large swathes of Siberia for the Tsar's crusade, the Cossacks called themselves the wolves of the steppe.

I don't know that the reason why Siberia was so easily taken by them was because the broken ground was so cold, not only the ancient people, but even the Turks couldn't stay.

Except for some poor people who lost their land and property, the vast Siberian wasteland was almost easily taken over by the Rakshasa Kingdom.

Where have the Cossacks, who have always boasted of winning a hundred battles, seen such a formation? The arrows in their hands didn't have time to shoot, and after a bombardment, they were blown up on their backs.

Under the black smoke, at least a third of the Cossack cavalry fell.

Yegor was lucky not to be hit, but instead of frightening him, this round of attacks sparked anger in his chest.

"Charge! Charge! Take out this group of damned cavalry! Yegor continued to charge with the remaining 5,000 men.

"The back team becomes the front team, retreat! Retreat! Seeing that this group of enemy troops was so ferocious, Wu Binghao and Lu Haibo hurriedly ordered.

After a charge, the two armies were less than thirty paces apart, and the arrows of the Cossack cavalry had begun to exert their might, and most of the Ming soldiers in the rear had a few arrow feathers on their backs.

It's just that it's just inserted, and the outer and inner armor of the cavalry are equipped to guard against arrow feathers, and it is impossible for ordinary arrow feathers to shoot through the special two-layer armor.

The war horse was unlucky, and there were almost a few arrow feathers inserted in the buttocks of the horses in the back row, but the war horses ran more happily under the pain, and the Ming army, which was all Menggu horses, slowly distanced itself from this group of cavalry.

"The soldiers in the back row obey the order, grenades, throw them in one round!" While retreating, Lu Haibo gave another order.

Almost without any pause, the thousands of Ming soldiers in the back row each pulled their rings and threw them behind them, and then the whipping of the horses snapped, and they rushed to the front to give up their positions in the back row to the other robes.

The Cossack cavalry was clever this time, but wherever smoke came up, they would drive their horses away, and the casualties had been reduced considerably, except for being accidentally affected.

Rao is like this, Yegor was still angry, and after chasing for a while, he didn't even touch the hair of the Ming army.

The irascible Yegor was only concerned with the charge, and his cavalry formation was becoming more and more chaotic, unaware that they were gradually moving away from the musket camps on both sides.

More than 5,000 Cossack cavalry were almost led by Lu Haibo and the others, and after pursuing for another quarter of an hour, when Yegor reacted badly, Lu Haibo and Wu Binghao had already completed the encirclement of this group of enemy troops.

Taking advantage of mobility and firepower, retreating, throwing bombs, and opening the front to encircle left and right is a new tactic formulated by Gu Jia, the former left attendant of the military department and the vice principal of the lecture hall, according to the new cavalry of the Ming Dynasty.

This tactic proved to be quite successful, as both sides were cavalry, and as long as they could maintain the corresponding distance, they could be almost invincible.

"Chief, we ...... We're surrounded! One of his subordinates said to Yegor with horror.

"Bastard, Lao Tzu saw it, and you still need to talk about it?" Yegor slapped him over, venting the anger in his chest.

"Break out with me!" Yegor raised his sword and rushed towards the seemingly weakest point of the encirclement.

It's just that the Ming army never retreated, but Yegor didn't rush out a few steps, and the grenades in the hands of the Ming army began to smoke again.

"The soldiers obeyed the order and threw grenades in the middle! Slowly shrink the encirclement. Lu Haibo said excitedly.
