The artillery of the Russian army was lined up, hanging and firing at the city, the infantry lined up in a line and advanced, the flintlock musketeers fired their guns as they walked, and the coalition troops on the city walls could not show their heads at all.

The attacking Russian army had 10,000 men, dozens of phalanxes, and behind them, first one hundred and fifty artillery pieces, and then a neat queue of Russian troops.

Marshal Morozov, the remaining 20,000 infantry troops lined up behind the artillery array, also in a linear formation, with the spear phalanx and the musketeers staggered, one by one neat phalanx, in the sound of trumpets and drums, the order was forbidden, standing still.

The infantry of 20,000 people, nearly ten brigades, is basically the establishment after the military reform of Sweden, a Nordic power. One company has 126 people, four companies have one battalion, two battalions have one regiment, two regiments have one brigade, and each brigade has more than 2,000 people.

They were also armed with spears and muskets, but compared to the five brigades attacking, muskets were mainly arquebuses, with more than fifteen thousand guns, and they were slightly poorly equipped.

In the Central Plains, many times, the enemy was weakened by cannon fodder and weaker armies, but Morozov sent the most elite five infantry brigades to attack the city.

On both sides of the infantry town, on the left flank were 20,000 cavalry of the Khiva Khanate and the 11th Brigade of Cossack cavalry, to the 15th Brigade, a total of 30,000 people, with relatively traditional equipment, mainly swords, spears and bows and arrows, or more traditional cavalry.

The Russian cavalry on the right flank totaled more than 20,000 people in ten brigades, and in addition to the traditional cavalry, the cavalry of four brigades was equipped with 8,000 flintlock pistols and sabers, which was a relatively modern cavalry.

Such an arrangement is very confusing, although there are many men and horses on the left flank, but the right flank is actually the main cavalry force of the Russian army.

Marshal Morozov's intention is obvious, that is, to use the elite infantry army to first take the word "mouth" on the word "pin", capture the city of Henglus, and then use this elite infantry army to intersperse between the remaining two "mouth" characters to cut off the connection between the Yuz and Bukhara camps, and finally use the elite men and horses on the right flank to defeat the 15,000 Bukharans first, and the army outflanks from the right flank, surround the Yuz people's camp, and eliminate the last "mouth" character.

The characteristic of the formation of the coalition army is that it is based on the city of Henglus, and the camp of the Yuz and Bukhara people is in the same city, forming a huge character in the wilderness.

In the continuous defense, the coalition forces have lost more than 10,000 men, and now the remaining 12,000 infantry troops are in the city, in addition to 5,000 Mongol cavalry in the city.

In the northeast corner of the city, there are 20,000 Yuz cavalry and 13,000 Mongolian cavalry, and in the southeast corner of the city, outside is the camp of the Bukhara people, with 15,000 cavalry.

The artillery and arquebuses of the coalition army are arranged in the city, because it is the word "mouth" on it, which bears the heavy responsibility of resisting the Russian army, and the two "mouth" characters outside the city are responsible for giving a support to the word "product" on the word array, and at the same time are ready to kill from both sides at any time to force back the Russian infantry attacking the city.

On the whole, the coalition army is in a defensive and counterattacking formation, but because the equipment of the coalition army, mainly bows and arrows and swords and spears, the previous counterattacks have been unsuccessful, and they have gradually become a purely defensive formation, and they only know how to passively fill the city with troops.

At this time, the elite of the Russian army of five brigades was lined up in two fronts, two brigades on the first line and three brigades on the second line, and the main task of the offensive fell on the first and second brigades of the first line, and the second line followed behind, ready to support at any time.

The Russian flintlock musketeers shot while advancing, and the Yuzi soldiers on the stage basically took the arquebus if they could hold the arquebus, because even the range of the arquebus was not as good as the flintlock musket, let alone the riding bow that shot dozens of paces.

The Russian army began to fire guns and cannons two hundred paces away, and the monks came down from a high place, and could only lead the men and horses to lie behind the collapsed city walls, and the experience of many days has let the soldiers defending the city know that showing their heads before the enemy enters the range of the arquebus, is purely looking for death, and death is meaningless.

The monk lay behind the wall, and the sand at the head of the wall, which had been blasted by the cannons, splashed into the sky, and fell like rain on the body of the Yuzi soldier. The projectiles of the Russian muskets also hit the mud splashes.

The monks silently estimated the distance between the Russian army and the city wall in their hearts, and the Yuzi soldiers leaned against the wall, lying on the slope, or lying on the ground, hurriedly reloading the arquebus with ammunition in their hands, sticking wooden strips into the barrel, constantly pulling out and inserting, tamping the ammunition inside, and then loading the arquebus.

This position is not suitable for loading arquebuses, it is slow, but it is safer to reload, and the non-commissioned officer does not shoot at the moment.

Like the monks, there are more than a dozen officers of the Jin Kingdom, who are the instructors assigned by the Jin Army to the Yuzi people after Yuzi purchased the bird guns from the Jin State, and are responsible for teaching the Yuzi people to use the bird guns and teaching them some simple bird gun tactics.

These days, four Jin generals have died on the front line, and the rest are led by a thousand generals named Wang Jinbao. If history remains unchanged, he will shine in the third reversal, and he is one of the four Han generals of Hexi in the Qing court.

"Get up, first team!" The monk suddenly whispered from between his teeth, and then Wang Jinbao and several officers of the Jin Army blew the whistle almost at the same time.

The Yuzi soldiers, who were lying behind the slope, immediately stood up one after another, lined up in three columns, and they raised their muskets and lit the arquebus.

"Up!" Wang Jinbao blew the whistle, a team of Yuzi people suddenly rushed down the top of the slope with their guns, raised the musket and fired a round of guns at the Russian army that had advanced to the arquebus range, the "bang bang" gunfire rang out, and the city wall was immediately filled with a piece of gunsmoke, and the advancing Russian troops fell to the ground sporadically, but the vacant seats were quickly filled by the Russian soldiers in the back row.

The first team of Yuzi soldiers who finished firing a shot were just about to put away their guns and retreat, when a cloud of white smoke filled the Russian army on the opposite side, and the Yuzi soldiers were shot one after another, and they were splashed with blood and rolled downhill.

Seeing this, Wang Jinbao did not hesitate, blew the whistle decisively, and shouted with green muscles, "The second team!" ”

The Yuzi soldiers hurriedly went uphill alternately, raising their guns to shoot, but as soon as they reached the top, the Russian army took the lead in gunning, and the Yuzi soldiers rolled again and again. The arquebus maneuver is complicated, and when shooting, you need to see if the arquebus is extinguished, whether it is in a good position, and the speed of loading is slow, coupled with the lack of training of Yuzi's arquebusiers, although they used the dirt slope to block part of the bullet rain of the Russian army, so that they can be relatively safe when loading, but once they shoot, they still fall behind.

In a matter of moments, the corpses of Yuzi's soldiers were rolling all over the hillside.

The monk watched as the Russian army continued to advance, and the Yuzi soldiers suffered heavy casualties, and the entire front had been filled with multiple gaps without musketeers.

"Taiji, the bird can't stand it! After the Russian army approaches, a charge can break through the first line of defense! ”

There was no need for his subordinates to report, and the monk also saw that Yuzi's soldiers were at an absolute disadvantage in the platoon shooting.

The monk knew that the city of Henglus was the key to the entire coalition defense line, and if the city was broken and the coalition army lost this key fulcrum, the left and right battalions would be divided by the Russian army.

By now, the coalition forces have no chance of winning on their own, and the only hope is to wait for the Jin army that promised to support, and to wait for the Jin army, they must not retreat until the last moment.

If they are defeated, then there is no point in the Jin army coming, and the monks can only stabilize the front with the greatest sacrifice and wait for the support of the Jin army.

"Herald cavalry prepare!" The monk gritted his teeth and ordered, and at this moment, the Russian army had already killed the slope.

Seeing that the arquebusiers were about to break through, the Mongol cavalry in the city turned over their horses one after another in the order, then drew their scimitars, clamped their horses' bellies, and rushed towards the place where the city wall collapsed. After the war horse rushed up the high slope, it suddenly rushed down, and the cavalry rushed down the slope at a very fast speed, but the elite of the Russian army under Cheng was obviously very experienced, and immediately made a response.

The Russian phalanx that rushed to the bottom of the slope immediately changed its formation, and those spearmen pushed their spears up, and the spearmen in the phalanx rushed to the edge of the square to stab their spears, and the empty space in the middle was left for the musketeers to dodge.

The Russian army suddenly turned into several huge hedgehogs, after the Mongolian cavalry rushed out, the people in front of them were directly mounted on the spear array, and the men and horses were stabbed to death, and the remaining cavalry saw this, passed through the middle of the hedgehog array, and wanted to take out bows and arrows to shoot, but the musketeers in the Russian army array, aiming at them to shoot, the Mongolian cavalry suddenly fell off their horses again and again, and did not get a little cheap.

The Mongol cavalry, which rushed through the gap, was not easy, they passed through the two brigades of the first line of the Russian army, but they were bombarded by gunmen of three brigades on the second line.

At this time, behind the city of Hengrus, the cavalry of the coalition army in array had already learned that the city of Hengrus was in danger, and Yuz Khan had no way, if the city of Hengrus was defeated by the Russian army, then the entire front would be broken through by the Russian army.

"Great Khan, while the army in the city has not collapsed, our two wings are outflanked by the Russian army, there is still a chance! Can't wait for Jin Jun! ”

Yuz Khan sat down on his horse, restless, he listened to the words of his subordinates, while frowning, and tightened the reins of the horse.

Jin Jun had no idea when the time would come, and he couldn't bet all his hopes on Jin Guo. At this time, he suddenly stabilized the war horse with his front hooves hanging in the air, and after the horse's hooves slammed into the ground, Yuz Khan ordered loudly: "Order, let the Bukharans attack the right flank of the Russian army, and Ben Khan attack the left flank of the Russian army, and defeat and outflank the Russian army!" ”

As soon as he gave the order, he pulled out his horse and rushed out, and the 28,000 cavalry with banners in the sky behind him rushed around the city to the left flank of the Russian army, while 15,000 Bukharans attacked the right flank of the Russian army.

The coalition army is like a big crab, Henglus City is the body of a crab, and the cavalry on both sides are two large pincers. Now the two big pincers are swinging out one on the left and one on the right, wanting to destroy the main formation of the Russian army, and then the big pincers are combined to surround the elite of the Russian army attacking Henglus and win the war.

This idea is very good, but when they sorted, the cavalry guarding the two flanks of the Russian army also began to attack, and Bukhara, a relatively weak pincer, immediately broke as soon as it collided with the Russian cavalry······
