Sun Kewang guarded the Western Regions, with plenty of horses, and the 10,000 infantry troops in his hands, according to the style of the Ming Dynasty dragoons, were equipped with war horses, and were equipped with twenty field artillery, which were galloped by four healthy horses.

These 10,000 people can be said to be Sun Kewang's old bottom, which is equivalent to his private army, and almost everything good is used on them.

Although the Jin court did not give Sun Kewang much things, after the defeat of Yarkand, Sun Kewang copied a large number of property and materials from this more than 100-year-old khanate, and he naturally did not hand them all over to the Jin court, most of them were taken by him as his own.

After destroying Yarkand, he got a large number of craftsmen, so the equipment was no worse than Wu Sangui's elite cavalry.

They were equipped with 5,000 self-made firearms, but half of them were bribed by Sun Kewang with a large amount of money to the military minister Han Chaoxuan and the minister of work Kong Wenfu, and they were successively transported from Guanzhong to the Western Regions in the past two years.

The three battalions of the Jin Army's infantry troops, plus the artillery team of one division, were not as skilled as the cavalry, so they arrived at the battlefield nearly an hour late.

Sun Kewang had already heard the sound of the bell in the eastern city and knew that the Rakshasas had already invaded the city, so he did not hesitate to let the infantry army that had just arrived directly join the battle.

In the city, under the suppression of the Russian musketeers, there were no Yuzi people around who dared to attack the spear array, and the Russian soldiers held their spears and rushed to the foot of the eastern city, and at this moment, suddenly a large group of Jin troops rushed into the city.

The Jin army consisted of thirteen men per team, with six self-fired gunners standing on the right side, in three rows of two people each, equipped with waist knives and spurs, and could fight in close combat if necessary.

On the left are seven people, led by a small flag officer holding a sword and shield, equipped with a shield, a knife and a small triangular flag on his back, and the color of the flag will be different according to the battalion number.

Behind the small flag were two pikemen, and then behind were two carrying guns, operated by four Jin soldiers.

This formation evolved from the Mandarin Duck Formation of the Ming Army, which was basically compiled with reference to Qi Jiajun and the "New Book of Ji Xiao", he retained mobility and flexibility, and at the same time adapted to the times and strengthened the firepower of the squad.

Increasing the firepower of the army has almost become the consensus of the Ming army and the Jin army, but the Ming army mainly strengthened the equipment of artillery, but the Jin army increased the number of robbery.

The choice of different paths between the two countries is decided on the basis of their national conditions and financial resources.

The Ming army was equipped with a large number of rapid-fire bronze cannons, the financial resources of the Jin State were not enough, and it was not like the Ming Dynasty After the monetary reform, Wude began to issue copper coins and paper copper banknotes, and the domestic copper ingots were sufficient, and a large number of copper cannons could be cast.

In order to cope with the powerful firepower of the Ming Dynasty army, the Jin State did not blindly refer to the Ming Dynasty, and they themselves also thought of ways to increase the firepower and range of the Jin army.

In addition to imitating the self-generated guns of the Ming Dynasty, Jin Guo's eyes fell on the "nine-headed bird" and "Yang Yinggong" of the Ming Dynasty.

A big bird like a nine-headed bird originally weighed more than 20 catties, and it cost one or two dollars for medicine, one big bullet, and several small bullets.

When the gun is far away from the enemy, it fires a large bullet, and when it is close to the enemy, it fires a divergent projectile.

For the Ming Dynasty, this kind of big gun that was not as powerful as it was not sought after by the army. After all, the Ming Dynasty had cannons that could solve the problem with one shot, and they didn't really need this kind of big guns, but for the weak Jin State, this kind of big guns could make up for the lack of firepower of the Jin army.

Jin Guo transformed this kind of big gun, and made this big bird gun larger, each rod weighed 30 catties, and the gun shaft was also divided into two kinds, one was a fine hole, which fired live ammunition, and the other was a coarse hole, which fired scattered bullets.

The fine holes can be hit three or four hundred paces away, and the coarse holes can also be hit about one hundred and fifty, which is just enough to provide fire support for the self-generated fire guns that are two hundred paces away.

At this time, the spearmen of the Russian army, as soon as they approached the city gate, they met the Jin army entering the city, and they saw a large number of troops entering the city, and instinctively wanted to use the spear array to stab the Jin army out of the city and block the city gate.

It was the Jin general Li Qichen who led the city first, he had seen the advantages of the Russian spear array on the banks of the Volga River, if it was pasted, the Jin army's guns would have to be stabbed into a sieve, he immediately waved his knife and shouted, "Fire guns, put them!" ”

The Jin army who entered the city was also stunned when they encountered the Russian army, and the self-generated gunner immediately opened fire, raised the gunner to quickly reload, and then put the gun on the shoulder of his companion.

There was a "bang, bang, bang" sound and gunsmoke, and most of the Russian troops in the first row in front of them fell.

This surprised them, but they quickly filled it up, continued to move forward, and advanced to within a hundred paces, and at this moment, the coarse hole raised the gun and fired, this thing is the ancient shotgun and rifle, and immediately knocked down a large part of the Russian army.

The Russian reinforcements who had just entered the West City and had not yet crossed the city wall only heard a continuous burst of gunfire, and a burst of cheers suddenly sounded in the city, and the Russian army couldn't help but stop one after another.

Bulginsky, the general of the Russian army standing on the top of the dirt slope, looked up at the city, his eyes were suddenly full of consternation, he saw that the Russian army that had entered the city before actually retreated in a hurry, and the enemy soldiers were crushing the Russian army from three sides.

Five brigades of elite Russian troops, who had been fighting fiercely in the city for a long time, suddenly collided with the Jin army, and the spearmen rushed forward lightly, and were knocked down in large areas, leaving the musketeers without protection.

At this time, the Yuzi people who saw the arrival of reinforcements were greatly boosted and began to counterattack under the leadership of Sangge, coupled with the fact that the battle structure of the Jin army was relatively flexible, and the phalanx of the Russian army was not easy to display in the city, after the Jin army gained a firm foothold at the city gate, the team immediately detoured back to the two flanks of the Russian army phalanx from the left and right, and the Russian army was attacked from three sides, and could only retreat from the side of the city.

Braginsky saw that the Russian army in the city was retreating, but his five brigades blocked the retreat, and it was easy to be broken up by the retreating Russian troops in the city. ”

"What's going on?" Morozov was shocked when he saw the attacking infantry retreating.

As the Russian army withdrew from the city, the figures of the enemies in the city began to appear, they were not as chaotic as the Yuzi people, all the soldiers were black cotton armor, and there was a flag for every three or four hundred people, which showed that the organization was very clear.

The soldiers of the various units of the Jin army walked down the slope, and the squads gathered into flags, flags gathered into bureaus, and began to line up outside the city.

Twenty artillery pieces, pushed up the dirt slope by the soldiers, took the lead in firing like the Russian army, the sky roared, more than 20 white smoke rose, and the shells fell into the phalanx of the Russian army, killing dozens of people immediately.

Only then did Marshal Morozov react and ordered the artillery to return fire, and one hundred and fifty artillery pieces opened fire one after another, and the phalanx of the Jin army was hit dozens of rounds, but the gap that appeared was quickly filled by the soldiers, and the front was still intact.

The Jin army formed a horizontal formation in order to control a larger front, a total of two lines, the first line was lined with three rows of soldiers, all of whom were self-generated and carried and robbed, leaving a gap of about two meters between every thirty-six people, so that the swords, shields and spearmen on the second line could rush out to counterattack.

The second line is also a three-platoon, with melee and swordsmen and spearmen to charge the last or assault enemy forces close to the first line, and gunmen to make up for losses in front.

Although the Russian artillery has a lot, the Jin army is lined up in a horizontal formation, and there are only six columns in the two lines combined, which is not easy to hit, and a maximum of six people are injured in one shot, but after the Russian army changed its formation, it gathered together, and the loss was great if it was hit by one artillery.

The formation of the Jin army is naturally to give full play to the maximum firepower on the front, and the retreating Russian army also launched a frontal formation and formed a line formation.

The commander of the front line, Braginsky, knew that the enemy's firearms were powerful, and if he did not open the formation, he could only be slaughtered by the enemy's superior firepower, and the Russian army could only change the line and shoot at the Jin army.

As soon as the whistle sounded, the Jin army and the Russian troops from the new formation advanced almost simultaneously in the face of artillery fire, and when they reached one hundred and fifty paces, they all raised and grabbed.

The sound of "bang, bang, bang" rows of guns and the roaring cannons suddenly rang out, and on the front lines of the two armies, the soldiers kept falling, and the Russian artillery was fierce, but the guns of the Jin army were also a dozen pieces.

However, in general, there were fewer Jin soldiers and the losses were a little greater. As the two armies approached, gaps were punched in the fronts.

As the distance approached, the two armies approached to fifty paces, and the spearmen of the Russian army had already advanced their spears, exceeding the line of muskets, ready to go up to slaughter the Jin army, the front of the Jin army had also stopped, and the swordsmen of the second line were ready to rush forward, but at this moment, the cavalry of the Jin army on the right flank, divided into 10,000 people, under the leadership of Wu Sangui, roared and launched a thunderous blow to the Russian army.

The Russian army and the Jin army are also in a line, the front is long and shallow, the rotation is not flexible, it is easy to be broken through by the cavalry, the cavalry on both flanks of the Jin army is not at a disadvantage, and the right wing is even more in an advantage, there is no such worry, but the Russian army is not good.

At this time, because of the proximity of the two families, the Russian spearmen came forward and had separated from the musketeers, which provided an excellent opportunity for the Jin army to ride.

When the Jin cavalry rushed over, seeing that a sea of enemy cavalry suddenly appeared beside them, the Russian musketeers couldn't help but panic, they turned one after another, and fired their muskets at the enemy cavalry.

But their depth was thin, the Jin army killed from the flank, and the muskets were hit by the Jin army without shooting a few horses, and there was no heavy armor, no long guards, and the Russian musketeers had become lambs to the slaughter.

The swiftly rushing Jin army iron cavalry broke into the formation with a momentum of ten thousand jun, and the galloping war horses with huge weights constantly knocked into the Russian army in front of them, and the cavalry swords flew up and down, and the Russian musketeers were crushed by the way.

Seeing this, the Russian spearmen who came out wanted to turn the spearhead and protect the musketeers, but it was too late, they were not only bombarded by the guns of the Jin army, but it was also inconvenient to turn, and after the cavalry of the Jin army defeated the musketeers, the cavalry directly chased the defeated army and pounced on the Russian artillery array.

"Good!" Seeing this, Sun Ke, who was behind, couldn't help but cheer for Wu Sangui.

Defeated the Russian musketeers, the Russian army's spear array was not enough to fear, as long as it did not hit it, the Jin army won the game.

(Later!) Thank you all for your support. ）
