Chapter 669: Annihilation of the Tsarist Army (1)

Early the next morning, Marshal Petrotsov was studying the map.

"It's not far from the Zhongxing zone of Zungar, no matter what the Cossacks and pigs think, only half of the land of Jungar belongs to my Tsarist Empire!" Marshal Petrotsov sneered with murderous intent.

The Tsarist army was packing up its camp and preparing to continue its march.

On the Jungar steppe, which was about a dozen miles away from the Tsarist army, more than a dozen Tsarist scouts were being besieged and killed by dozens of Ming army scouts.

"Boom" war horses galloped on the Jungar steppe.

More than a dozen Russian scouts looked defeated, and desperately fled in the direction of the main force of the army, hoping to bring the news to Marshal Petrotsov and the main army.

It's a pity that the Ming army seems to have premeditated, not only the dozens of Ming scouts who chased and killed them behind them, but also dozens of Ming soldiers in front of them intercepted them in a roundabout way, and more than a dozen Russian scouts were soon surrounded and could not escape.

The tragic bloody battle began, and more than a dozen Russian scouts were red-eyed, brandishing bayonet guns, desperately fighting with the Ming soldiers who surrounded them, trying to break out of the encirclement.

The Ming scout smiled disdainfully, brandished the saber and greeted him.

The smelting technology of Tsarist Russia was obviously not much higher than that of the Cossacks and Dzungars of the nomadic steppe khanate, and the all-iron spurs in their hands could not stop the Ming army's extremely sharp alloy strong steel swords.

As the last Tsarist scout was stabbed in the face, half of his head was cut off, and he unwillingly fell off his horse, and the Tsarist scout was completely annihilated by the Ming scout's premeditated annihilation.

"Report, the Russian scouts have all been annihilated!"

"Okay, the herald army is ordered to speed up closer to the Tsarist army and prepare for battle!" Ji Feng laughed and ordered.

Without scouts, the Ming army soon advanced to a distance of only two miles from the Russian army.

Several horses appeared on a high slope about 1,500 meters in front of the Tsarist army.

"The artillery battalion and the others will discharge the cannons here."

After Ji Feng gave this order, he swung his saber forward and ordered the soldiers to start charging and killing.

"Kill"

"Boom"

The sound of countless iron horsemen galloping, excluding the artillery camp, nearly 30,000 Ming army iron horsemen rushed out from the horizon at 1,500 meters and swooped towards the Tsarist Russian army.

"Enemy attack, enemy attack!" There was a terrified roar of the Russian generals.

The Tsarist army was indeed very experienced, and almost quickly organized a defensive formation.

"It doesn't seem like this is the Jungar cavalry, what are they!" Tsarist Russian Marshal Petrotsov said with a gloomy look at the murderous and fierce Ming army iron cavalry.

The sudden appearance of the strange cavalry made Petrotsov feel a little bad in his heart. He was familiar with both the Dzungar cavalry and the Cossack cavalry, and these cavalry in front of him were not only not the Dzungar cavalry, nor the Cossack cavalry, but this place was extremely close to the Dzungar Khan's tent, and it stands to reason that the Cossack army had already captured this place, but not only did he not see the Goaker cavalry, but he also saw no trace of the Dzungar cavalry, and these strange cavalry appeared here, which was really surprising.

"Defend against the enemy, resist the enemy!" Petrotsov shouted, and the 6,000 Russian muskets were the first to form a formation to block the front.

This is the trump card of Tsarist Russia, and it is also a sharp weapon for Tsarist Russia to restrain the cavalry charge, Petrotsov is confident that relying on the 6,000 musket team, he can stop the enemy cavalry from continuing to charge, so that the enemy army will be killed and wounded in front of the dense lead bullets.

It's a pity that Debizov's ambition is quite good, but he doesn't understand the true strength of the Ming army at all.

Two hundred meters, one hundred and fifty meters

"Fire!"

"Bang Bang Bang"

The Ming cavalry rushed to a hundred and fifty meters before they began to shoot, and immediately fired a large number of Russian musketeers.

Because the speed of the war horse was so fast, after only one round of shooting, there were Ming soldiers who rushed within 100 meters. 、

"Bang bang bang" the Russian musket battalion took the opportunity to shoot.

In an instant, more than a dozen Ming cavalrymen who rushed into the 100-meter army, together with their war horses, were beaten into stoppers by the Tsarist Russian musket team.

The generals of the Ming army were shocked, in order to avoid unnecessary casualties, it was not possible to confront the Russian musket battalion head-on, and the task given to them by the army commander was not to engage the Tsarist army hard, but to surround the Tsarist army so that the Tsarist army could not move.

"Scatter the siege!" A Ming army division commander ordered.

The cavalry of the Ming army bypassed the Russian musket camp from both sides, and nearly 30,000 Ming army iron cavalry formed a circle, surrounding the 60,000 Russian army and constantly galloping and cruising, making it difficult for the Russian army to move an inch at all.

The cavalry of the Ming army also relied on the long range, cruising around the Tsarist Russian army, and at the same time kept shooting, shooting and killing a large number of Tsarist Russian soldiers, forcing the Tsarist Russian army to move an inch at all.

Marshal Petrotsov looked at the encirclement of the Ming cavalry and the soldiers of his own side who were constantly being shot at the guns of the Ming army, and his face turned black as pig liver.

Marshal Petrotsov has not yet been able to figure out where the army in front of him is coming from, but the strength of this strange army shocked him, although the Ming army suddenly appeared, but saw that the Ming army was only about 30,000 people, Marshal Petrotsov did not have any worries, but the Ming army continued to shoot at the Tsarist Russian soldiers, killing and wounding a large number of Tsarist Russian soldiers at a distance of more than 200 meters, Petrotsov had to be frightened, and even palpitated.

He saw a rather strange musket in the hands of the Ming soldiers, that is, this kind of musket can shoot and kill and wound a large number of Tsarist Russian soldiers under his command from more than 200 meters away, if only a part of the Ming soldiers are holding such muskets, but what he saw is that every Ming soldier has a rifle like this in his hand, doesn't that mean that all Ming soldiers can kill the Tsarist soldiers under his command more than 200 meters away.

Hey, all the soldiers of this strange army are holding such advanced muskets.

Marshal Petrotsov, although not very talented, was not stupid, knowing what this meant, he was terrified, such an enemy was likely to completely annihilate him and the 60,000 Russian army.

What Marshal Petrotsov didn't know was that what frightened him even more was still to come, the slightly higher breakthrough 1,500 meters away, and the Ming army's eighty field artillery pieces had been erected.

Because they were surrounded and unable to move, the Russian soldiers gathered quite densely, which was undoubtedly suitable for the Ming artillery to exert its maximum power.

The general of the Ming artillery battalion smiled and waved the order flag in his hand fiercely.

"Fire!"

"Boom boom" shells pierced the air and exploded in the midst of the Russian soldiers.
