Chapter 40 The whole army is in ink

It is impossible to run, where have the Lucians suffered such a big loss here, and if they run away like this, they will lose face - these robbers are powerful and inflated.

Naohide thought that these people would dismount, but unexpectedly, no one dismounted, and these people actually found some hay and branches, as if they were making torches.

Naohide almost didn't laugh out loud, this shack is different from a wooden house, although there is some hay and branches on the wood to protect it from the wind, but it is very damp inside, and it can be a bit difficult to light the fire.

Besides, there is a strategic and tactical group in the institute, and since this time the northward march is pouring out, these staff officers naturally also participate in the battle with the army, and they also take into account the fire attack in their deduction, so everyone has smeared a lot of mud on the outside of the shack in the past few days, and the fire attack will definitely not have the effect that the enemy wants.

In fact, the Lucians on the other side also knew that the fire attack might not be effective, but what could they do?

Naohide read that right, the Lusia were indeed divided into two groups, the pure Lucians had 45 people, the leader was the head of the temple outpost, Lieutenant Ostovsky, and the other 75 people were subordinate to the Cossack cavalry officer Lemishi.

At this time, the Lusians had not yet opened up the entire channel of the Wulong River basin, so they did not invest much in the mouth of the Wulong River, but the Governor of Eastern Siberia, Muravyov, attached great importance to this place, and transferred half an infantry company of 90 people, a Cossack cavalry company of 100 cavalry companies, as well as some sailors and some immigrants to garrison the outpost of Miaotun and the Pirov winter camp.

The contradiction between Lieutenant Ostovsky was a nobleman, and Lemich was a Cossack who was considered a mercenary. Ostovsky thought that the Cossacks were rude and obscene and never took orders seriously, while Lemich thought that the former was a little white face who would only point fingers and withhold salaries, and leave all the hard work to the Cossack cavalry.

The two often faced each other, as in the "Territorial Patrol" last winter, the first time organized by Ostovsky, and the second time by order from Lemmich.

This dispatch was also full of disputes.

Nakahama Manjiro did a good job, having his guns fired at the shore as the boat passed the temple, and he deliberately had the Ainu posing as Europa pee on the bow of the boat, and fled before the Lucians could drag out the six-pounder cannon.

In the early 19th century, whaling ships harassed not only Fuso, but also the Rusian territories in the Far East, and there have been records of whaling ships robbing the Petropavlovsk Fort in Kamchatka for lack of fuel – probably to express their dissatisfaction with the high fees charged by the Rusians to foreign ships. Of course, with the deepening of diplomatic relations between Lusia and the United States, this kind of thing has basically disappeared, and now the rice ships can be resupplied in Petropavlovsk in the open.

But what is good is that in June last year, Naohide took the white master pill to pretend to be a rice boat, and killed several Lucia soldiers on the dock from the boat while sailing on the river in Miaotun, and the new and old hatreds were combined, and the head of the Miaotun outpost, Lieutenant Ostovsky, was furious, but he couldn't help it - the outpost didn't have a big ship at all now, so it couldn't pursue.

Unexpectedly, a few days later, a tribe actually came to ransom people, and also provided the news of the Europa people who had fled before, saying that these people had come to trade with the tribes.

The appearance of the Fuso ship and the Europa ship is very different, but the leading white master maru is indeed a rice-style flying clipper ship, and it is also a star-striped flag, out of arrogance, the Lucia people have long believed that this is the Mi people who are making trouble-Ostovsky is a nobleman, and he has heard that the Mi people's crazy immigration to Alaska has led to frequent local conflicts, and it is not the Mi people who dare to provoke the great Lucia in the Far East.

The chief of the outpost, Lieutenant Ostovsky, was the only nobleman in the area, and the governor of Eastern Siberia, Nikolai? Nikolaevich? The supreme governor of the temple appointed by Muravyov, he decided that he must take this breath, the rice people ran away, and there was not a single tribe that traded with the rice people

I can spare it.

But out of prudence, Ostovsky, who had studied at the military school, decided to wait two days before sending troops, so as not to suddenly return the rice boats, but the head of the Cossack cavalry, Lemych, completely disagreed and demanded that troops be sent immediately, so the two had another dispute, and finally Ostovsky used the threat of military law to suppress his opponent.

When they arrived at Woydtun, the contradiction between the two broke out completely.

Because of the delay in the temple for a few days to send troops, the nearby tunzi found that the people who went to ransom themselves did not come back, feeling that the situation was very bad, considering the previous style of the Lucia people, plus the reminder of Zalasi, the head of the Woyid Tun, when he came to do business before - if the ransom is not successful, I am afraid that the Lucia people are really murderous, plus the fact that several small tunzi were killed last winter, so they fled, resulting in the Lucia people in the previous several tunzi are all empty.

In this regard, Lemich was very dissatisfied, and sneered at Ostovsky, believing that he could only brag and not fight, and did not even pretend to be an order to him, and did not care at all; And Ostovsky believes that this is all due to the murderous reputation of the Cossack cavalry, which led to the lack of good people everywhere, and it is not his own pot at all.

When the fight began, the two began to quarrel openly.

The first ten-person advance team was composed of Cossack cavalry, in fact, it has always been like this, the task of sending to death, the difficult task is the Cossack first, but because of the experience of the previous tunzi, this time the advance team was not as cautious as before, and entered the tun with a big grin, and most of them were killed, and only two people fled in the desert.

People want to believe what they want to believe deep down. When the Hezhes came out to put on a show, the Cossack commander Lemych, who despised the Horde, believed it, and was furious, ready to press the whole army to give the opponent a profound lesson.

But Lieutenant Ostovsky always felt that something was wrong, especially this time the tribe used a musket - last year, a group of merchants who appeared out of nowhere traded a batch of smoothbore guns to several tribes, and this year there were rice people who traded smoothbore guns, and he always felt that there was some fog in the battlefield, and after careful consideration, he asked everyone to dismount and slowly approach the target.

Listening to Ostovsky's words, Lemich was furious, "We Cossacks were born on horseback and died on horseback, you want the infantry to move forward, okay, please lead the team forward, I will press the formation." ”

Again, it was the Cossacks who gnawed the bones and the Lusians ate meat, and Ostovsky, of course, refused to let his men suffer the lead first, but the Cossacks could not get off their horses, and after the death of a few people in front, Lemich became more irritable and more difficult to convince, and finally everyone had to ride together to besiege Voydtun - whoever dismounted went first, so no one dismounted.

But Ostovsky, after all, was a veteran of a military school, and he asked his men to collect hay to make torches, and with the torch materials that the original team had carried, he was ready to set fire to force people out.

But Woydtun was originally a large tribe of three or four hundred people, there were nearly a hundred shacks, plus dozens of rooms behind the commission, covering a large area, although the Lusians braved the scattered gunfire and threw a lot of torches into the tun, but the fire could not be burned, and a few people were knocked off their horses, so before the noble lord gave another order, the always brave Cossack cavalry rushed into the tunzi.

Wait for the brigade to rush in, only to find that something is wrong, the dirt road in the tunzi is potholed, but I don't know when to dig a lot of small potholes on the road, and the more trees are on the road, the more trees are on the road, the Cossack cavalry has always liked to use swords, but in this enemy's preset battlefield sabre is useless, with the gunfire of the formation, many people were knocked off their horses, and then the Cossacks didn't care about the traditions of the horseback people, jumped off the horse and cut people, but the people who rushed into the shack soon did not move, Woydtun was like a swamp, desperately devouring the lives that broke in.

"Retreat! Fall back! The Cossack leader Lemich was not an old army leader, not only did he not die in the rain of bullets, but he actually led people to rush back, but the originally difficult road coupled with the dead men and dead horses behind and the frightened horses that lost their owners and strung around everywhere, it was not so easy to go,

Because Naohide had instructed him not to hit the officer first, Lemmich insisted until now, but he rushed too deep and was finally knocked down from his horse on the way to retreat.

The smoke from the torches and the smoke from the pyrotechnic powder were mixed together, and there was some fog throughout the tun.

Originally, Lieutenant Ostovsky led more than 40 of his men to make soy sauce on the periphery, but after a while, he heard the shouts of the Cossacks getting louder and louder, and he couldn't help but lead people to rush in, but your old man led the team to dismount, and he forgot about it in a hurry.

There are no fences in the huts of the Hezhe people, and between more than a hundred shacks, horses can be strung around at will, although it is a shack, but the highest place is more than one person high, and the smoke is filled, and the specific situation can not be seen clearly on the horse.

Attacking the enemy's preset fortifications was something that could not be done, and the Lusians repeated the mistakes of the Cossacks this time, and there were finally too many dead in front, so the Lusians felt that something was wrong when they rushed halfway, and quickly turned around and ran away.

Unlike the Cossacks on horseback, there are very few people in Lusia who are proficient in equestrianism, although now the military service requires that those who join the army must be taxpayers, but the Luthia serfs have not been abolished, many remote places are let serfs join the army, and the broken land of Eastern Siberia, those who can go to this unlucky place are unlucky, most of them are to Miaotun to learn to ride horses, usually in a hurry, really want to fight on horseback, this is really fatal.

Moreover, Lusia has no enemies in Eastern Siberia at all, basically it is a security war, and the local tribes are enemies, the ordnance is a front-loading smoothbore gun, a carbine is what many people have not touched, the Cossacks still have a saber, and ordinary Luthia soldiers ride on horses with front-loading smoothbore guns equipped with bayonets, basically returning to the state of the Middle World, which is not as good as the combat effectiveness of medieval cavalry, so they die faster.

The situation collapsed, some rushed forward directly, jumped into the Wulong River to escape, some rushed back, and their own people who blocked the way moved knives, and the scene was extremely chaotic.

In fact, the breech rifles of the commission are still not powerful enough on this kind of battlefield, but hiding in the shack neutralizes the advantage of the cavalry, while the shotgun and six-wheel pistol play better, and the opponent is basically powerless in a narrow space.

Moreover, the fortifications were built in the tunzi, and several exercises were carried out, and everyone may have been a little busy at first, but after a few shots, everyone's feeling came, and there were observation posts and capable assault groups on the side of Zhixiu, and the situation of the Lucia people was finally out of control.

The arrogant soldiers will be defeated, this gang of robbers themselves because of military discipline weakened their combat effectiveness, and they made all the mistakes they could make on the battlefield, and the consequences can be imagined, when the gunfire in the tunzi finally quieted down, about 120 Lucia soldiers, there were only a dozen clever ghosts who ran out.

There were seven or eight of them who had the courage to rush into the river, and at this time, the water was turbulent and the temperature was not high, so it was estimated that none of them would survive, and the two groups of people who ran out of the village were ambushed by two groups of people who were ambushed in the woods, and the situation was not much better.

According to the training, everyone began to form a team to replenish the enemy's guns, and the first time they went to the battlefield, this performance was quite good - in fact, Naoxiu thought badly, and pursued the crazy hunting on Seal Island, these people had already been trained, and now it is not a later civilized society, these people are not as sensitive to killing as Naohide imagined, so everyone reacted much lighter, and spit out quite little directly after the war.

The battle was not long, it began at ten o'clock in the morning and ended before two o'clock in the afternoon, and the really fierce battle lasted less than an hour, and after cleaning up the battlefield, it was found that one hundred and twelve corpses of the Lucians were killed, one prisoner, and seven or eight people whose fate was uncertain - those who were forced to jump over the river on horseback, and the two who died in the battle - those who jumped out of the fortifications were hit, and few were wounded, but four of the Hezhe people died - two died in the tunzi, and the other two were killed by horses in an ambush, and there were very few wounded.

In short, this time the white lord won a big victory, and the Lucians were defeated.
