Chapter Ninety-Four: Fierce Battle (2)
"Retreat! Fall back! ”
The Russian major gritted his teeth and said hatefully, there is no way, the opponent's firepower is too dense, and his own cavalry cannot get close to the opponent's position at all, these yellow-skinned monkeys are too cunning!
Before the Cossack cavalry had time to turn around the horse's head, there was already a dense sound of horses' hooves behind him, and the major of the Hubei army was stunned, cavalry? Where did the cavalry come from?
When the Cossack cavalry turned back to their horses, they saw that not far behind them, a group of cavalry had swept like a violent wind! It was less than three hundred steps from the Cossack cavalry!
The Russian major was shocked and roared: "Draw your sword, Cossacks, assault!" ”
There is no way, the Cossack cavalry uses a slower rate of fire, and when the enemy is already less than three hundred paces away, they launch a surprise attack on themselves, but they are afraid that after the first shot is over, they will already be close to themselves, these Qing troops are very tight, the Russian major will never dare to take such a risk, once the cavalry in front of them rushes in, the Cossack cavalry will completely lose the opportunity!
The Cossack cavalry, well-trained, made neat movements in a crisis, drew their sabers and rushed towards the opposing side.
With their own shortcomings, the enemy's strength, if the unlucky Cossack cavalry first shoots intensively, the Mongolian cavalry in front of them will definitely be disrupted, the dense Mongolian horse team rarely experiences thermal weapon battles, and the war horses can't withstand such a fright in the first place!
Now, the Cossack cavalry drew their sabers and engaged in a white-knuckle battle with the Mongol cavalry, falling into the pit they had dug themselves!
More than 100 Cossack cavalry and 300 Mongolian cavalry charged into battle, even if the Cossack cavalry was extremely brave, it would definitely not take the slightest advantage, not to mention that this was the elite cavalry of Monk Lingqin!
The two torrents collided fiercely, the two cavalry were once famous all over the world, they were all first-class powerhouses, the sabers in their hands danced like flying, blood rain splashed, stumps and broken arms, and even heads flew up one after another, howling, roaring, instantly enveloping the entire sky!
After just a few minutes, the two cavalry left the battlefield, leaving nearly a hundred corpses on the ground, and the horses that had lost their owners neighed miserably!
The frightened Russian major doesn't care if he fights again, after all, there are still many infantry behind the opponent's cavalry, and if he is surrounded at all, his muskets will engulf his horse team in an instant!
Retreat, retreat immediately!
The Russian major whistled, and the Cossack cavalry took advantage of the excitement, but they could only retreat towards Aichun City in a gloomy manner!
On the other side, the Mongolian elite cavalry is also uncomfortable, the cavalry pipe and belt are a little pale, nearly a hundred corpses in front of them, of which there are fifty or sixty Mongolian elite cavalry, they are outnumbered, in the rush formation, they have completely fallen into the disadvantage, Batu has followed the monk Lingqin for many years, and has never experienced such a thing! What a great cavalryman! What a powerful Cossack!
However, in any case, the Cossack cavalry's attempt to harass the flank of the Qing army and storm the positions of the Qing army was completely unsuccessful, and hundreds of lives were taken, more than half of the casualties were lost, and the losses of the Russian army were even greater!
On the battlefield in front, the current Russian army has long been beaten by the Qing army and has no power to fight back, the huge gap in strength is not something that can be made up by relying on blood and courage alone, seeing that his Cossack cavalry has been defeated and retreated, Basha has also fallen into despair, can no longer fight, and if he fights again, all his thousand people will be wiped out here!
Fall back!
Basha roared frantically, the Russian army began to retreat to the rear, Guo Ye was unforgiving, striking while the iron was hot, now the morale of the Russian army has been completely suppressed, if you don't take advantage of this time to pursue, how long will you wait?
Guo Ye gave an order, and the three battalions rushed towards the Russian army in Basha, rushing and attacking on the other, and the intensive firepower beat the Russian army to a miserable point.
The Russian army retreated all the way into Aichun City, and when it returned to the city, the Russian army had suffered hundreds of casualties, and its vitality was greatly damaged, not only that, but the most unfortunate thing was that when they retreated, they lost only more than ten cannons!
The artillery of this era was unusually heavy, and under the advance of the Qing army, it was impossible to retreat with the army, so it could only be discarded, and finally became the trophy of the Qing army!
Basha was annoyed, without artillery, how could this Aichun City be garrisoned, even if there were some cannons on the city, they were all old cannons left by the Qing army in Yishan when they retreated, they were all old, and in the face of the sophisticated weapons of the Qing army, they couldn't fight against it at all!
Soon after Basha's army entered the city, Guo Ye led the elite soldiers to surround Aichun City on all sides, just waiting for the artillery behind to arrive, thinking that the Russian army would launch a general attack, Basha stood on top of the city, looking at the Qing army that was approaching all the way, and his forehead was jumping in a hurry, this time it was really miserable!
"Order, the Cossack cavalry immediately went out of the city, rushed to Vladivostok, sent a letter to Governor Mushavyov, asking him to immediately mobilize heavy troops to support, the city of Aichun was besieged by the most elite Qing army, and we will not last long!"
Basha said eagerly.
Russian Major Kursk said in a deep voice: "Yes, Colonel Basha, I personally led people to rush out and rush to Vladivostok!" ”
Basha now has no other way but to rely on Aichun City to defend it!
Kursk looked at the Qing army surrounding the city outside, gritted his teeth, and wanted to rush out, but he also needed to mobilize troops, and with just a few people, he would definitely not be able to avoid the other party's bullets.
Kursk shouted: "Cossacks, assemble!" ”
The Cossack cavalry of more than a hundred people got on their horses again and rushed out of the city of Aichun, and the Qing army outside the city had already taken precautions, and began to shoot continuously from a distance! One by one, the cavalry was hit and fell from their horses, but now they can only charge, and only by not fearing death can they truly break free from the control of death!
Kursk led the cavalry to charge fatally, and finally approached the position of the Qing army, the horse pistol in his hand was also constantly shooting, and the other hand had already raised the saber, looking at the cavalry that was constantly approaching, the Qing army was scattered in a hurry, and divided to both sides, without the slightest intention of rushing up.
Kursk was overjoyed, and with the remaining dozens of people around him, he rushed out of the position of the Qing army in one breath and went straight to Vladivostok.
A smile appeared at the corner of Guo Ye's mouth in the distance, hehe, rushed out, or rushed out, go, Lao Tzu is waiting for you here, Mushavyov, Lao Tzu thinks you think very much.
Mushavyov is notorious in modern history, and the crimes committed in the Far East are too numerous to mention, and as a Chinese, you must not let this old boy go, and you must kill it no matter what!
Guo Ye's gaze returned to Aichun City, and said lightly: "Slow down the attack for me, slowly harass them, let's drag them to exhaustion, and take Aichun City in one go!" ”
