Chapter 1296 Under the Battle of Golden Russia
On the entire battlefield, the strength of the Russian army was about 80,000, including 60,000 Russian troops and 20,000 Khiva cavalry, and the strength of the coalition army was originally only 65,000 people, and the troops and equipment were at a disadvantage.
In the great battle, the coalition army lost at least more than 10,000 people, and the strength was only more than 50,000 people, and the arrival of the Jin cavalry changed the disadvantage of the coalition army in terms of troops, so that the coalition army on the battlefield increased to more than 80,000 people, surpassing the Russian army of less than 80,000, and stabilized the situation of the rout of the right flank.
The Russian musketeers were not suitable for pursuit because of their slow loading, and they used more cavalry maneuver and harassment tactics, so they did not participate in the pursuit of the Bukharas.
The Cossacks, wielding swords and spears, collided with the Jin cavalry who rushed to support them in pursuit, and when they were repulsed, the Russian musketeers rushed over.
They arrived first in the front, and the cavalry behind spread out on either side of the forward, forming a line like the infantry, and fired at the pursuing Jin army.
The flintlock muskets had a long range, and the musketeers were two hundred paces away from the Jin army, bombarded for a while, helped the Cossacks to relieve the siege, and then sounded the brass trumpet and quickly withdrew.
They only had 8,000 men, and after seeing the strength of the Jin army's cavalry, they did not dare to hedge.
The shrill sound of trumpets echoed across the plain, and the Russian troops, having fired a shot, immediately turned their horses' heads and rushed westward in an instant.
How could Wu Sangui let them go, waved his knife and shouted: "Chase!" ”
The cavalry of the Jin army did not care about the cavalry that was shot down and dismounted, and the forward thousand cavalry galloped forward, and the ten thousand cavalry covered the rear, chasing the Russian musketeers.
It was just a collision just now, and Wu Sangui found out that the enemy was two pounds.
His Jinguo Iron Cavalry, to a certain extent, inherited the characteristics of the Guan Ning Army, when he didn't make a move, he was very cowardly, and he liked to preserve his strength, but if he did, it would be a thunderous blow, very fierce, and he took out the posture of chasing Li Zicheng all the way.
However, after all, the two armies were separated by a distance of two hundred paces, and the cavalry of the Jin Army did not have flintlock pipers, and if they did not close the distance, they really couldn't hit them, but just after chasing them, the Russian musketeers had no chance to reload.
At this moment, the Cossacks, who had escaped from the pursuit, reorganized their formation a little from a distance, and the officer of the 6th Brigade, Sheremetev, took over the command, and then made a detour and charged at the Jin army diagonally, trying to intercept the pursuit of the Jin army by the musketeers and give them a chance to reload their ammunition.
In the collision just now, many Cossacks were killed, and the main generals were all beheaded, but they were not defeated, but quickly reorganized the formation and charged again.
To have such qualities is indeed stronger than the Mongol cavalry, and the reason why they were able to do this was because of the change in the organization of the army.
The Ming and Jin armies also emphasized that the high degree of organization of the army's basic units and the promotion of the role of middle and lower-level officers enabled the army to be defeated without being defeated and able to fight repeatedly.
Wu Sangui immediately understood that the Russian army wanted a team of cavalry to fight and contain, and a team to fight black guns from a distance, so he immediately ordered, "Let Wu Guozhu meet the attack!" ”
The soldiers beside Wu Sangui raised their heads and blew the silver trumpet, and not far behind him, Wu Guozhu, who was wearing mountain pattern armor, a phoenix-winged helmet, and a big red cloak that pulled the wind, suddenly pulled out the horse and changed the direction.
When the officers behind him saw him move, they also pulled the reins one after another, letting the horses break away from the brigade, and nearly 10,000 cavalry separated from the main team and attacked the rushing Cossacks.
At this time, the defeated Bukharas, after fleeing far away, looked back, the cavalry of the Jin army stabilized the right flank, and occupied the upper hand, and the leading prince Habdal immediately blew the horn of assembly, gathered five or six thousand cavalry, and returned to the battlefield from the new one.
As a result, the coalition army on the right flank was close to 40,000 cavalry, twice as many as the Russian army, and the right flank of the Russian army began to be passive.
On the left flank, the Russian cavalry was on par with the coalition forces.
Although the Cossacks were brave and good at fighting, the 20,000 Khiva cavalry was very ordinary, they fought a draw, the cavalry of both sides fought from the wilderness, to the desert in the north, the battle line stretched for dozens of miles, the cavalry fought chaotically, you have me, I have you, divided into dozens of shares, each from a few hundred to thousands of people, entangled in a very wide battlefield.
At this time, Marshal Morozov, who had discovered that the situation was not right, had already boarded the erected lookout car and observed the entire battlefield.
In the face of the sudden killing of the Jin army, the Russian army was shocked, and they put away their contempt and raised their spirit to finish the war.
"Your Excellency Marshal, General Zolotarenko of the Right Wing Corps was killed, General Sheremetev took command, but the enemy forces were too strong, and the right flank was suppressed by the enemy."
The heralds of the Russian army continued to send back new news, and Marshal Morozov and the generals were stunned when they heard it.
Morozov's original plan was to break through the middle and break through the enemy on the right flank first, and then outflank the enemy's center and left, but now the situation is that the right flank, to which he has high hopes, is instead suppressed by the enemy.
In this way, the original plan of the Russian army will not work.
"Your Excellency Marshal, if the enemy army still has reinforcements coming, then the situation will be even worse!" A general reminded.
This made Marshal Morozov's heart sink, and the sudden arrival of 30,000 enemy cavalry had already changed the situation on the battlefield, and if the enemy's reinforcements came again, the situation would only get worse.
At that moment, Morozov did not hesitate, and shouted: "Braginsky, you lead five infantry brigades, reinforce Ivankov, capture the city of Henglos as soon as possible, and break through the enemy's center." ”
Now the coalition army is still a big crab, the cavalry on both wings is the crab's big pincers, with the addition of 30,000 Jin army cavalry, the coalition cavalry is close to 70,000, which has exceeded the 50,000 cavalry of the Russian army, Marshal Morozov saw that he could not break the left and right pincers of the coalition army, so only before the pliers came to him, he first defeated the crab body and occupied Henglus City.
When the Russian infantry occupies the city of Henglus, the cavalry on both flanks will not have to escort them, and the Russian army will regain the initiative.
Morozov is worthy of being the marshal of the Russian army, since he can't make a breakthrough on the left and right flanks, then he will expand the advantage of the Russian army in the middle and crush the infantry of the coalition army.
The order was conveyed, and the five infantry brigades still advanced to the city of Henglus, and the remaining 10,000 Russian infantry troops began to set up a new formation, turning the line formation into a cross formation, with five brigades of infantry, one brigade each on the front and one on the left and one in the middle.
The Russian army changed its formation in this way, naturally because it was afraid that the right flank would be broken through by the coalition forces, and the infantry army would suffer a surprise attack by cavalry.
After such an arrangement, the Russian army stood under the battle flag, Morozov looked at the battlefield with a grim expression, the era of nomadism has long passed, and now it belongs to the era of the Romanov dynasty of tsarist Russia.
At this time, the five brigades of Russian infantry in the city, after the initial casualties and panic, had begun to change their formation, and in the three-sided attack of the Yuzi soldiers, they were still not driven out of the city, but gradually regained their disadvantage.
At this time, five more brigades attacked, and before they had fully entered the city, only two brigades entered the city, and the situation in the city was out of balance.
The monks soon fell into a bitter battle, the Yuzi people could only support hard, and were killed to retreat to the east city, as the Russian army increased its troops in the middle, the coalition forces were constantly squeezed, and the city was full of blood and corpses.
The battle lasted for another half an hour, and the entire Yuzi people in the city had been driven to the east, and the Russian army could capture the city with a little more strength.
But at this moment, on the road leading to Henglus City in the east, yellow dust was rolling again, and nearly 10,000 Jin Guobu troops rode horses and dragged artillery to rush out of the dust.
They galloped to the outside of the east city, the horse infantry dismounted one after another, the soldiers quickly lined up, the general of the various departments whistled, the Jin soldiers and soldiers took the fire and entered the city from the east gate······
(Something happened today, less than a few words, and a little slower, thanks to the 1000 of the broken sword and the slave, the reward of the shadow like a dream.) )
