1637 Cossack pioneer battalion

The major of the pioneer battalion looked at the straight and vertical black lines on the wide ice and shouted in surprise, "My God! What is this? What the hell are the Chinese doing?"

"I heard that the Chinese are the best people in the world at farming, do they want to grow some crops on the ice?

"Idiot, shut up!" the major crooked his nose and shouted at the soldiers around him who were babbling nonsense, "The vanguard battalion controls the river embankment, disperses these Qing slaves, and fights for the advance positions of the army!"

More than 500 cavalry began to spread, and all the remnants of Jiangbei fled in fear, and soon the wide and flat embankment on the north bank of the Aihui Ferry was isolated, and more and more flags began to emerge behind these vanguard cavalry units. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info

On the highest dirt slope on the south bank of the Heilongjiang River, on a four-story wooden watchtower, Hunchun was observing the movement on the opposite bank, and when he saw more and more black spots appear on the white and vast snowfield in the north, and finally formed a tide to swallow up all the white, he knew that the main force of the Cossacks had finally arrived.

It would be a lie to say that the number of war horses carried by 30,000 Cossacks has reached 70,000, and it can be said that this locust-like army has plundered Northern Mongolia, which is often called the Mobei steppe in the mouth of the Han people.

Such a large number of war horses cannot be provided by one or two tribes, this should be the wealth of two or three rivers and hundreds of tribes on more than ten grasslands.

Hunchun's side of the foggy ghost also pinched a sweat, she is not a person who has never seen the world, from Japan to Ryukyu to Jiangnan and Jingshi, she has seen countless big scenes.

But she had never seen such a turbulent cavalry charge, where is this army this is the waves, layers upon layers of waves.

"Baga! In our Fuso, if there were more than 1,000 cavalry battles, it would have been written into the history books, and today I actually saw 60,000 or 70,000 war horses galloping together! Amaterasu, the heritage of the mainland's civilization is really beyond the imagination of our island country!"

Hunchun clenched his fists and said fiercely, "Don't worry, we can withstand it!" Fortunately, this is a pure cavalry unit, if this is another half a year of preparation time for the Rakshasa Ghosts, let them come with infantry and artillery, we will be really dangerous!"

That's right, if 50,000 Cossack cavalry, with 80,000 or 90,000 horses, accompanied by 50,000 infantry and artillery, then such an army could run rampant in the Far East.

Even Xiao Letian's volunteers have to avoid its edge. Because where there are infantry, there must be sappers, and where there are sappers, there are naturally craftsmen, and every mountain road is opened and bridges are filled, and the inexhaustible timber in the Far East can make enough boats and rafts for the army, and even a pontoon bridge is possible.

Fortunately, the Tsarist Russia was eager to rescue, and fortunately there were only cavalry here, otherwise the tactics of bombing the river defense were really useless.

Not only that, Hunchun really wants to thank the old man, if it weren't for the old man's inspiration and ice-breaking plan, otherwise the destruction of the entire riverbed this evening would never have been completed.

"Look! The Rakshasas have begun to cross the river tentatively, and their cavalry has taken to the ice......"

The Cossack pioneer battalion in Jiangbei sent three squads of troops to carefully step on the ice in three directions, and there was no problem by the river, and after just advancing more than 20 meters into the second grid, they heard a strange sound under the clattering ice.

"It's not good, the ice is going to collapse, go back quickly......" The cavalry of the three squads turned their heads and ran, not daring to linger for even a second.

There was a commotion on the north bank, and then the strength of the three squads was reduced to nine cavalry, and the group of three began to walk cautiously towards the ice, this time they walked a little farther and walked more than one hundred and fifty meters, but the closer they got to the center of the river, the more dangerous it became, the horses and cavalry together produced a huge pressure on the ice surface, and the sound of cracking underwater sounded again.

"Retreat...... These despicable Chinese have come up with such a ruse! Damn, haven't they already agreed to borrow it? What does this mean......

"These Chinese are the most greedy, and if they don't give them enough gold, they won't let us cross the river! God punish these infidels......"

The cavalry continued to test the ice as they scolded, and finally they found that it must be a dead end to ride on the ice, and only by dismounting and walking on the ice must the crowd disperse so as not to create excessive pressure in the local area, so that they can safely walk to the middle of the river.

But when they arrived in the middle of the river, the Qing army on the south bank of the opposite side was gone, and countless interpreters shouted by the river, "Go back! This is the territory of the Great Qing Kingdom, you are not allowed to go any further......!"

"Damn, you don't understand......, do you?

The arrogant Cossacks did not care about the threat of the Chinese at all, and actually continued to move forward with guns and knives.

"Archer...... Rocket preparation ...... Too high three fingers...... "The south bank gave an order, and five hundred archers together lit their bows and arrows wrapped in oilcloth in the brazier, and listened to the bouncing ...... A bowstring sounded, and five hundred meteors were drawn in the sky.

High parabola, the flaming bow and arrow flew into the sky at forty-five degrees, drawing a poignant arc of fire in the evening sky.

Bang Bang Bang ...... A rain of arrows pounded in front of the Cossacks, and a wall of fire stood on the ice, and although it did not kill or wound a single enemy, the threat was very obvious.

"Go back! Go any further, and we'll open fire! Damn, the red-clad cannon is blasting the ice and drowning you bastards!"

The pathfinders on the ice didn't expect the Qing slaves to be so strong, their cognition was completely different before, looking at the burning wall of fire, they knew that the Qing people were not joking.

The scolding vanguard had no choice but to withdraw.

More and more cavalry gathered on the north bank, the flags of various units in the sky were hunting, and at a quarter past five Farjiev's regimental flags finally appeared, and the Chinese army rushed to the city of Aihui.

As soon as Fadeev rushed up the embankment, he was stunned: "Oh God! The Qing people have destroyed the ice? Are they defending us? Is there something wrong with this time? Where is the pioneer officer, let him come to me!"

The major of the pioneer battalion rode over and reported to Fargiev what had just happened, 1510...... These Chinese have carved grooves into the ice, destroying the safety of the ice, and filling it with a lot of earth and charcoal to accelerate the melting!"

"As soon as our pathfinders reached the center of the river, they were forced back by a rain of arrows, and even cannons were erected on the other side!

Just as Fadeev was pondering, Chekov, the commander of the 3rd Division beside him, suddenly leaned over and asked in a low voice: "Is it because the money they gave Gogol to buy the road was too small before?"
