Chapter 1052: First Encounter

The Wei army had its back against Atami, and the cavalry of the Rakshasas and Jungger surrounded the Wei army from three directions, and the Wei army was already fighting on its back.

Li Guo was not afraid when he saw the cavalry of Zhunger, but when he saw the infantry of the Rakshasa people, his expression became serious.

The monk who arrived on the battlefield first, led tens of thousands of cavalry, blocked the way of the Wei army, and stationed three miles away from the Wei army's formation, seemingly without preemptive intentions.

He stopped and waited.

The cavalry in the rear outflanking the retreat of the Wei army, which was also the cavalry of the Jungger Division, did not attack, but stationed on horses to monitor the Wei army.

But they didn't move, Morozov did.

The Russian army has been blocked by Broken Leaf City for several months, Morozov is on fire in his heart, he can't do anything with the defenders in the city, and now he is just venting on the reinforcements of the Wei army.

At this time, Morozov took out a clairvoyant mirror and glanced at the Wei army, which was probably more than 30,000 people, and he brought 120,000 troops.

Seeing that the Wei army did not have many soldiers and horses, Morozov's face showed contempt, and the Wei people came to relieve the siege in waves, which was simply sent to death in batches.

At this moment, the Wei army is holding on to its place, like a flock of sheep surrounded by wolves, and there is no threat to the Russian army at all, this war, for the Russian army, seems to be only a question of when and how the Wei army will fail.

"Order the Tatar cavalry, attack!" Morozov did not consult with anyone, waved his hand and ordered.

As soon as the military order was given, the horn sounded!

10,000 Tatar cavalry, slowly drove out, the Tatar leader at the head, drew his scimitar, and 10,000 horses galloped towards the Wei army.

At this time, the formation of 30,000 Wei troops has been completed, the Wei army carts are connected by iron hooks, the pikemen stand in the gaps between the vehicles, the musketeers and gunners stand on the chariots, and the cavalry who threw thistles in front of the formation hurriedly returned to the car formation, waiting for the enemy to attack.

The Tatar cavalry left the army formation and gradually raised its speed, and the cavalry that raised the speed rushed directly down the slope and rushed towards the Wei army.

The terrain of the battlefield was inclined from west to east, the position of the Wei army was close to Atami, and the ground was much lower, and the Tatar cavalry rushed down from the slope, raising billowing yellow dust, rushing down with a high momentum, and the momentum was irresistible.

Nearly 10,000 Tatar cavalry galloped, the earth-shattering hoofs resounded across the battlefield, the ground trembled slightly, and the advance had entered the two-mile range.

The Wei army's big array, under the banner of Daxu, Li Guo's cold gaze scanned the battlefield, and he had to admit that the Rakshasa people knew that the Wei army would be on guard, but they still set up an ambush here, which was reasonable.

Seeing the momentum of the Tatar cavalry rushing down from a high place, on the one hand, the vast majority of the army could not block their impact, and the slope made their impact twice as effective with half the effort, which would add huge kinetic energy to the cavalry.

Jiang Xiang showed a worried look on his face, "Governor Li, do you want to send cavalry to meet and resist!" ”

Li Guo retracted the clairvoyant mirror and shook his head, "No, the cavalry shrank in the circle and did not move." ”

In the car array, there are nearly 10,000 cavalry from the Western Regions, but the Tatar cavalry rushes down with a high height, and if the cavalry of the Western Regions meets it, it can only rush up the slope, and the impact is far inferior to the Tatar cavalry, and it will be rushed to pieces.

Li Guo looked at the enemy cavalry and decided to let the car formation take a hard attack, he resolutely waved his hand, "Order, the enemy will fire the first artillery in the near future, the second rocket, and finally the musket salvo, the earth-shattering thunder bombardment!" ”

On the artillery carriage, the black artillery of the Wei army was aimed at the enemy cavalry, and the gunners with torches stared at the enemy cavalry galloping towards them, without fear.

They were followed by heavily armored infantry with spears in their hands, as well as a large number of musketeers and grenadiers, who would be the main force of the Wei army's defense.

The earth trembled, and the iron hooves of the Tatar cavalry trampled the earth like a monstrous wave, striking head-on.

"Artillery fire!" The officer on the artillery carriage was the first to let out a loud roar, which broke the enemy's psychology and boosted the morale of the Wei army.

Artillery, the god of war in the hearts of the Wei soldiers, as long as they hear the roar of their own artillery, the Wei soldiers will inevitably be greatly boosted.

On each artillery cart, there was a sudden loud "boom", and the gun body drove the gun carriage to retreat sharply, raising a cloud of white smoke, and nearly 100 iron projectiles roared out of the muzzle of the gun, and suddenly fell into the enemy group.

In the Tatar cavalry cluster, a puff of earth and stones was splashed immediately, and the Wei soldiers thundered with joy, and the Tatar cavalry fell from their horses one after another, and the sound of people howling and neighing became one, but it was soon covered by the galloping sound of ten thousand horses.

The Tatar cavalry regiments of Tsarist Russia, mainly the Mongols living on both sides of the Ural River, who were skilled in riding and skillfully controlling their horses, took out their riding bows, javelins, muskets and other weapons, and continued to charge forward.

Their formation was not dense, it seemed overwhelming, the Wei army's solid bullets did not hurt them much, and the cavalry quickly closed the distance.

The cavalry entered a distance of one hundred and fifty paces, and the Tatar cavalry could already see the Wei army's car formation, as well as the soldiers on it, and at this moment, outside the car formation, nearly 100 Wei soldiers quickly ran back to the car formation after lighting the rocket car.

In an instant, countless dazzling fires suddenly burst out on the rocket car, white smoke instantly covered the Wei army's vehicle array, and countless rockets dragged tail flames, like a swarm of bees out of the nest, shooting indiscriminately from the sky, covering the Tatar cavalry.

Although the Tatar cavalry is also considered to have experienced a hundred battles, and has seen a lot of big scenes, but it is the first time to see the black technology from the East, the fierce cavalry was frightened by the rocket, and the front army was suddenly in chaos, and the horses and cavalry hit by the rocket rolled on the ground, and the cavalry could not dodge, and immediately trampled the cavalry who fell into a pulp.

In fact, the power of the rocket is not great, but the momentum of the chaos in the sky is too bluffing, and the Tatar cavalry has not seen it, and the formation is messy and rushes into the smoke of gunpowder.

On the hillside in the distance, Morozov looked at the Wei army's scurrying rockets with some surprise, and his face showed disbelief.

At this time, the advance of the Tatar cavalry had already rushed into the smoke and dust, and Morozov's future hurried observation saw the guns flickering in the smoke and dust, bursting with white light.

The stars flickered like a volley of Wei muskets, and the white light burst into the explosion of earth-shattering thunder, and the Tatar cavalry was caught off guard by the volley of muskets, the earth-shattering thunder, and the iron thistle terrestris everywhere before they could break out of the smoke belt created by the rockets.

In order to rush to the front of the chariot formation, the cavalry pulled out their horses and retreated, and fled back in a hurry, but the huge inertia made it impossible for the cavalry to turn immediately, and the cavalry crashed into the chariot formation one after another and was stabbed to death by spears.

Seeing this, the follow-up cavalry pulled the reins of their horses, and under the guns of the Wei army, they made a detour, turned close to the chariot formation, and then fled to the hillside.

Seeing this, Li Guo pulled out his war knife and pointed forward, "Ma Jun attacked, kill me!" ”

Several gaps were opened in the chariot formation, and the Yarkand cavalry in the formation immediately rushed out with a roar, taking the reserved passage to cover and kill the Tatar cavalry.

When Marshal Morozov saw this scene, he finally put away the arrogance in his heart and roared urgently, "Cossacks, attack!" ”
