Chapter 199: Weakness

"My God......" Gregory exclaimed, "Zhang Xuwen once told me two years ago that they have a strong army in Hutchison, and it turns out that the merchant army is really so strong!" ”

The Russians are not fools or blind, the original garrison in the city is the Ninth Regiment, and it is easy to see that the army in front of them, whether it is the number or the officer, is not from the Ninth Regiment. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 Although Russians sometimes make fun of Chinese squinting eyes and small noses, they claim to have no way to distinguish Chinese faces. But that's just mockery and ridicule, they are not stupid, they can remember the appearance of the Chinese a few more times, the officers of the ninth regiment they remember very well, there is obviously a change of people in front of them, including the soldiers they bring, and it is quite obvious that the equipment of the new army is a higher grade than the original garrison, the Russians do not know the reason, but their eyes are not blind.

The Seventh Regiment has been stationed on the front line of the old Central Capital, and was previously stationed near the Bahrain Department, defending the grain road and guarding Horqin and Dongyu, the task is very heavy, and later after fighting with Donglu, the troops have gained rare experience, just like good steel and a fire, Zhang Han will of course strike while the iron is hot.

In the Seventh Regiment and the Dongyu soldiers, the equipment is a priority, and the deployment of personnel is also quite a priority, in addition, Zhou Yao is very concerned about the Seventh Regiment, and the training was suspended a while ago, which also caused the soldiers of the Seventh Regiment to be transferred to be immersed in a state of hard training, just like a sword with a scabbard drawn out, the murderous aura on the body is fully displayed, and the people are much thinner than the robes of the Ninth Regiment.

To put it bluntly, these soldiers who have just escaped from Zhou Yao's clutches really want to kill people now.

The Russians felt a strong murderous aura, and they subconsciously retreated, no longer looking outside the city.

Madoff had been muttering, but this time he completely shut up.

They went up to the city together, and with strange thoughts, they stood on the left side of the tower, and looked out of the city.

First there was a dazzling white light, the cuirass of thousands of dragoon soldiers, and then they saw the most spectacular sight in their lives.

Many Russians will not forget what they saw at the beginning of the fifth month of the fifth year of the Apocalypse, and they dictated or wrote notes, especially Petrin, who wrote quite a lot of memoirs during his later years in Mokos, including the records of his first mission to the Ming Kingdom, the first time he negotiated cooperation with Hutchison, and his experiences and what he saw and heard after the prosperity of the city.

There are many things to remember, but Petrin writes with great deal to describe what he saw in his eyes near noon on the side of the high castle tower, surrounded by a large number of civil servants and scribes of Hutchison.

Endless, boundless, no end in sight, spectacular, wonderful......

Most of the Russians have such words on their lips.

It is true that they can't be blamed for Russia's foreign conquests, rarely encounter the scene of more than 10,000 enemy troops, the most is a battle of several thousand people, but this is not a reason for the Russians to exclaim, nearly 20,000 captives, as tame as sheep, like flocks of silent sheep being driven, so docile, so tame, under the escort of a large number of armored soldiers, these captives are silent, pale, walking silently with their heads down, this tame appearance of being slaughtered by others, completely subverts the existing impression of the Russians on the Mongols.

You know, since the crossing of the Urals, the Russians have been fighting with the Tatar Mongols, in fact, the Russians have quite a complex bloodline, including Aryan Germanic Gothic blood, Eastern Slavs, and many albino Tatar blood. When the Mongols ruled the steppe region of Eastern Europe, the Mongols killed a large number of the original indigenous Slavs, robbed the local women by rape and robbery, and gave birth to a large number of children, and when the Russians established the Principality of Mokos to start the war, they killed a large number of yellowed Tatars, but left behind the Mongol descendants with obvious white features, who were mixed with the Slavic Germans, and finally formed Russia, a new empire that was obviously different from the white countries of Western and Eastern Europe. Their violent and morbid thirst for land was as much as the Mongols' led them eastward to the Mongolian Plateau, where the Mongol Empire began.

The Mongols were both their former rulers and blood relatives, and in the eyes of the Russians, the Mongols on the plateau did decline, but they were still good at riding and archery, and had a strong physique and character, and the Russians never brought the Mongolian plateau under direct rule, which may have something to do with this cultural and blood identity. And now, their spiritual and bloodline co-masters have failed miserably, not only fiascoly, but also from the spirit to the body, nearly 20,000 people, barehanded, ragged, marching on foot, embarrassed.

"Look at them." Scheev's face turned pale and said, "It looks like someone has just dug up from the grave!" ”

"They've crossed." Petrin muttered, "Even if they were given the best knives and guns in the world now, these poor creatures would not have the determination or will to resist. ”

Paitlin turned to the crowd and said, word by word, "I have never seen such a tragic scene, which is unforgettable. Now I would like to warn you that the purpose of our Russian business community is to get along with Hutchison and engage in continuous trade, which is called a win-win situation in Zhang Han's words, and I hope you will keep this in mind from now on. ”

The Russians had no one to speak, they continued to look ahead with gloomy eyes, and this sad scene will remain in their minds for a long time to come.

The Mongols came from afar, and the brigade came in large groups, forming a column of more than a dozen people and coming slowly.

There were more and more Mongols from the Khalkha Department running over to see the excitement, and there were more and more Mongolian soldiers in armor, and gradually even many Mongolian soldiers in armor also ran over, and the merchant soldiers didn't care, but just separated these Mongolian soldiers from Khalkha, as if they were also ordinary herdsmen.

The armor soldiers looked complicated, but many of them took the initiative to put away their bows and arrows, knives and guns.

They knew that many people had fought with this tribe and knew each other's bravery.

This tribe has a total of 40,000 or 50,000 dingkou, and it is estimated that there are only so many men who can get on the horse, and there are at least nearly 20,000 people in front of them, which shows that the entire tribe has crossed.

In total, it took less than 20 days, but the Khan was captured, including the Great Khan and many Taiji, a result that many Khalkha people could not imagine or even accept.

But more and more Khalkha armor soldiers and herdsmen put away the weapons in their hands, the difference is too great, at this moment there were originally some unconvinced Khalkha people completely understood, the strength of the two sides is really too big a difference.

Many of the herdsmen were distracted, and they figured out that if the other side was willing to trade at all, just like the Mongols, it would be enough to plunder and plunder. Their herds, their horses, their cattle and sheep, everything they had was paper-mâché, and the Great Khans could not protect them, nor could the bows and arrows in their hands nor the horses they straddled on, nor could the spears protect them, and they were in great pain, because at this moment, the only remaining fig leaf was torn off, and they felt how powerless and weak they were. They have neither determination nor will, nor wealth and force, nor good leadership, and they are at a loss in their hearts, and at such moments, no one thinks of their leader, nor of a few Great Khans, but many people think of the living Buddhas, and they begin to chant the Buddha's name, as if they can gain more security, of course, it is actually in vain, no one feels safe, especially in front of the hordes of cuirassiers, they seem more weak and timid.

There seems to be movement in the direction of the Buddhist temple in the distance, a large number of lamas came out of the Buddhist temple in the south, they saw the abnormality here, but there should be no definite news, everyone saw a few young lamas riding horses, so a group of pious herdsmen rode over to ventilate the lamas.

Chechen Khan Shuobei, Tushetu Khan Gunbu, Zasaktu Khan Norbu, these three Great Khans finally arrived.

They had a large number of armor soldiers with them, because the three Great Khans had been hunting together a while ago, and they rushed over because the trade city was about to open, and then while waiting, the three Great Khans gathered their elite subordinates to hunt together.

Now that the war had come to an end suddenly, the three Great Khans rushed from the enclosure together, and they had seen the most memorable scene of their lives, and they wanted to forget it tonight, but for the next twenty years, these Mongol Great Khans would wake up in the nightmare of the same scene, and even after Hutchison had ruled the steppe for many years and had nothing to do with it, they would still be awakened by such similar scenes.

Everyone was pale, including Dorji and others, who had been talking eloquently about the pearl of wisdom before, and the coexistence of heroism, courage and wisdom.

These young Taiji, on the contrary, are the most feared group, they have always felt good about themselves, unlike those Great Khans and old Taiji, who are cautious by nature, and know that the strength of the Khalkha is far weaker than they imagined, and the blow to them is twofold, it is simply a heavy blow to the face, those cuirassiers, when they are stationed in the city, they don't feel how terrible it is, but when they thousands of them are lined up outside the city, armed with spears or sabers made of fine iron, or armed with bayonet firearms, These young Tai Ji realized how weak their side was.

The herdsmen are the same as the armoured soldiers, there is no queue, there is no relevant training, everything related to the war is blank, they can only shoot arrows in a swarm, they can't even do how to line up, let alone do more complicated things, their weapons are very bad, many cavalry spears or waist knives are decades old, there are collapses everywhere or there are rotten places, their cotton armor is very light, the iron blades are incomplete, they have no more armor, many people don't even have an iron helmet, even if they do, they are all elite, And looking at the cavalry wearing front and rear cuirasses, or wearing iron-scaled armor with heart glasses, looking at the weapons in their hands and the neat queue, looking at the military flags dispatching the army, as soon as the flag waved, there was a team to respond to the flag, and then adjust the gallop, when they ran together, even if there were only a hundred horsemen, it made the Mongols tremble, in addition to the armor weapons and queues, their command and dispatch and momentum also made these young Taiji feel their absurdity and the fragility of their own side, and when they saw those lamb-like captives coming overWhen they saw the tall Chotu Khan walking at the front of the group, these Taiji felt like they were having a nightmare, but they couldn't wake up.
