A sudden flash of lightning pierced the darkness of the night sky, and the bright ballistics quickly turned into flames, and in an instant the Cossack position turned into a sea of fire. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Boom Boom Boom ...... The explosion began to extend along the divided area on the map, A1, A2, B3, C4...... All the areas that had previously been marked with the highest concentration of troops and the highest suspicion value were covered by the artillery.

The explosion overturned one war horse after another, and the loud sound frightened countless horses. The well-trained Donhippos were a little better, they had adapted to the sound of the explosion, and they were able to hold their ground under the comfort of their owners.

But those Mongolian horses snatched from the Mobei steppe were not so lucky, these spiritual creatures who were accustomed to herdsmen's horse whips and long tunes had never heard such violent shelling, and even the previous gunfire was a kind of torture for these Mongolian horses.

The camp was in utter disarray, with horses scurrying about the reins, knocking over tent after tent and kicking away campfires.

At the critical moment, the Cossacks had to shoot these Mongolian horses to save their lives, and of course, countless soldiers were knocked over by the horses and then trampled on a few legs, and the screams spread throughout the camp.

"Revision of the Yuan...... After three volleys, the second area was shifted, and after three consecutive shots, the transfer continued...... The general prepared 70,000 shells for us, and they were all gone, all of them!" The commander of the artillery battalion laughed almost madly.

The cavalry of the 3,000 volunteers in the south of Habaropka was gathering, and they watched excitedly as the enemy positions burned red in the distance were gearing up one by one.

"Why hasn't the time come yet? Why hasn't it arrived? Damn it, isn't there a problem with the pocket watch......?"

"Check your equipment again! rifles, sabers, grenades, bullets...... And check the life-saving first-aid kits! Listen to my orders, I repeat that the volunteers don't have to count the merits of each person, we only need victory, we only need collective merit!"

"No one is allowed to mess up the rhythm of Lao Tzu...... Lift your spirits!"

The cavalry on the east side of Jiangxin Island was ready to make a roundabout, and on the ice on the west side of Jiangxin Island, the special forces led by Ye Qiu, Ma Hui and others had already begun to crawl forward and circled to the west side of the battlefield, and behind them were nearly 5,000 infantry waiting for their charging signal.

The net has been spread, and everything is waiting for the shelling to end!

Artillery is worthy of being the king of war, in the era when aviation weapons and tanks did not appear, artillery was the king of battlefield firepower output, and no kind of army could compete with them.

The Cossack expedition pursued speed, and not a single field artillery from Central Asia was brought over, and they could only be beaten passively here, just as when Napoleon's artillery swept across Europe, all the countries trembled under the roar of artillery.

"The officers of all units gather at the headquarters! Retreat north...... God, this group of Chinese is too insidious, they actually hide their artillery until this time and use it again!"

"Damn, damn it! I should have thought about it from the moment I saw those two hot air balloons...... Woowoo...... God punish me!"

Fadeev was already going crazy, and while directing the troops to retreat, he wept bitterly and blamed himself.

"I'm an idiot who underestimates the enemy, and it's all because of my arrogance and contempt for the enemy! The enemy has released observation balloons, which has proved that Chinese have mastered the blind firing technology of field artillery, why didn't I think of it? Damn it......"

Fargiev, who was crying bitterly, smashed his head with his fist, and the soldiers around him hurriedly surrounded him to protect the general: "This war is not our fault, it is the fault of the intelligence department!"

"Don't blame yourself, general, the intelligence department has given us all wrong information! Who would have thought that these Chinese troops would advance to such a point? The British army is not as good as theirs......

"We have been deceived by those officials and masters of the military department! They pat their heads in Moscow and think nonsense, we have to throw our lives inside!"

"Go back, General! We're going to court with those idiots! We're going to appeal to His Majesty the Tsar! Your Majesty the Wise will punish them!"

A glimmer of hope appeared in Fadeev's eyes: "Yes...... What you said is not wrong, this battle is not that we do not sell our lives, nor is it that we lack combat effectiveness, we have been deceived by those military masters who are full of brains!"

"They don't know what's going on in East Asia at all, and they fool us with intelligence from a few years ago...... The march of thousands of miles would have violated all military textbooks, and their orders would have been chaotic!"

"The Tsar must have been deceived! It was they who deceived His Majesty's judgment! We retreated...... Go back to China and fight a lawsuit with them!"

Looking around the battlefield, Fadeev saw a complete apocalyptic scene, with explosions everywhere, corpses and the wails of wounded soldiers.

The structure of the troops has been completely disrupted, many officers cannot find their soldiers at all, and many more soldiers wander the battlefield like ghosts, at a loss.

"General, let's go......" The pro-soldier pulled Fadeev and was about to get on his horse.

"Wait a minute, I can't leave them behind......," Fadjiev shouted as he looked at the soldiers who had lost their formation and had no commander, "Come here, I'm Fajiev, come and gather under my command, and I'll take you to break through ......."

Several dazed soldiers saw that it was the general opposite, and subconsciously rushed over, "General...... Woowoo...... We can't find the formation, we can't find the team......"

Fadeev went up with a whip "Shut up, coward, go find the horses, go find the weapons, gather around me, and now I am your direct commander!"

"Gather the soldiers, raise my flag......"

"No! General, no! We don't have time to delay...... "The guards around him roared angrily, "After the artillery fire is covered, the enemy will definitely counterattack, and we must get out of here quickly! It's too chaotic, the battlefield is too chaotic!"

"And have you ever thought about it, general, if you fly your own military flag, you will become the target of the enemy's pursuit, the risk is too great!"

Fadeev looked up to the sky in pain and sighed, "What can I do? I brought these boys here, I have to bring them back!"

"Listen to my orders, raise my flag, and gather the ...... of the rout"

The general's death order had been given, and it was useless for others to persuade him, and the double-headed eagle banner and the corps commander's general flag were raised at the same time, and under the light of a torch, they were incomparably conspicuous in the chaotic battlefield.

"All the soldiers who have left the formation, converge to the flag...... Hurry up, don't waste time......"

And at this moment, suddenly there was a piercing sound of military trumpets from the south, followed by shouts and killings like mountains and tsunamis.

The sound of the artillery finally stopped, and the counterattack of the volunteers officially began!
