Now that the advance of the Tsarist Imperial Army has been discovered, it is estimated that the main force of the large army will not be too far away. Tian Jianxiu immediately ordered the more than 10,000 militiamen who followed to quickly build a simple trench, and the militiamen did not complain, immediately dismounted and took out the iron balls they carried and began to dig the soil. Although these people rarely dare to do such work, the slogan of protecting their homes is still very inspiring, and the tools assigned to them by Tamihide are very useful, and three trenches were dug in a very short time.

The dust had already been seen in the distance, and the cavalry of the Tsarist Russian Empire rushed over, and Tian Jianxiu asked these militiamen to withdraw from the fortifications first, and he himself led the soldiers to start defensive preparations. The first two trenches were designed to slow down the Russian cavalry, and the last trench was the fortification, and only when they slowed down their cavalry could the artillery fire exert more power and kill more enemies.

The momentum of the 30,000-strong cavalry troops charging at the same time was amazing, and there was an overwhelming scene, and Tian Jianxiu calmly watched them continue to approach the first trench. When their speed finally slowed down, a platoon* fell on their heads, which immediately caused confusion in the formation, and many horses fell directly into the trench, and soon the Russian cavalry had to dismount to fill the trench, and suffered a large number of casualties under the washing of artillery fire, but still passed the first trench smoothly.

The officers of the Tsarist Empire were not fools either, they saw the second trench in front, but they did not directly charge, but calmly parted to both sides. After all, the time was too short, and it was impossible for the militia to dig the fortifications for too long, seeing that this trench was useless, but the purpose of extending the time was achieved, Tian Jianxiu did not hesitate, and led the soldiers to immediately get on their horses and retreat, run back to the next defensive line, and organize the defense again.

A total of ten defensive lines were used up, and finally the time was dragged out to the evening, Tian Jianxiu and they were very tired, and the soldiers of the Tsarist Empire were even more tired, they did not dare to march at night, so they had to camp on the spot to rest, giving Tian Jianxiu a precious night of time, so that he could better arrange tomorrow's defensive line and continue to stop the advance of the Tsarist Empire.

In order to better delay the soldiers of the Tsarist Russian Empire, Tian Jianxiu did not let them rest well at night, and divided several waves of soldiers to bombard the camp with mortars, and let the militia beat gongs and drums to pretend to attack, etc., to exhaust these original enemies and make them unable to recover their energy the next day.

As Shunhe City got closer and closer, the pressure on Tian Jianxiu increased, and the troops of the Tsarist Russian Empire had clearly understood the number of Tian Jianxiu's troops, and they began to charge unscrupulously, so that Tian Jianxiu's soldiers began to suffer casualties. There are no mountains here, and there are no walls around Shunhe Castle, and once the soldiers of the Tsarist Empire enter the outskirts of the city, it will soon cause great losses, and Tian Mishu finally desperately.

Around Shunhe City, Tian Jianxiu asked the militia to pull open a series of iron wires, which was Tian Jianxiu's secret weapon, and the iron piles had long been buried in the ground, and in order to ensure the solidity of the iron piles, cement was poured underneath. In order to delay the time as much as possible, Tian Jianxiu pulled out a total of ten such wire walls, and behind the wire wall was the machine gun position of the Ming army, but the number was only one-tenth of that of the Tsarist Empire, and the pressure on the defense was still very great.

The wire is very thin, it is not like a trench that can be seen at a glance, the first batch of felt that the cavalry of the Tsarist Russian Empire suffered a big loss, a large number of war horses were tripped, broke their legs, suffered heavy casualties under the fire of the Ming army, the speed of attack began to slow down, the cavalry dismounted and became infantry, a large number of wires made them dare not wantonly urge the cavalry to charge.

The war has been in a state of stalemate, the officers of the Tsarist Empire tried to quickly break into the city, Tian Jianxiu arranged soldiers everywhere to carry out stubborn resistance, every time he found a dangerous position, Tian Jianxiu ordered the soldiers to organize a fire counterattack, and then set up wires, resolutely not allowing the enemy to break into the city.

Li Hongji received information from Tian Jianxiu soon after the battle on the Mius River began, but he could not return without defeating the Ottoman coalition army, and the battle was not long, so after the battle ended, he immediately divided half of his soldiers and personally returned to Shunhe City. It seems that his troops are still too small, and the Ming army is now unable to fight on both sides, but fortunately, they are all cavalry troops now, even if they are infantry, they can also ride horses, so that the marching speed is a little faster, but then they must expand their army, otherwise they will not be able to expand their territory here.

The battle of Shunhe Castle reached the most critical moment, and Tamihide's troops had retreated to the point where they could no longer retreat, and the militia also spontaneously began to enter the battlefield, even if they could not use machine guns, they could use rifles. Tian Jianxiu did not hesitate, so he organized them to distribute rifles, and at this time, he couldn't think too much about it, and he would defend Shunhe City first.

When Tian Jianxiu was about to be unable to resist, Li Hongji finally arrived with reinforcements, and rows of * fell on the heads of the soldiers of the Tsarist Empire who were attacking, and the strong sense of oppression finally frightened them, without the orders of the officers, they already understood that the goal of occupying and destroying Shunhe City could not be achieved, and the reinforcements of the Ming army arrived.

The officers of the Tsarist Russian Empire were very single, seeing that the task could not be completed, the troops immediately began to retreat as soon as they gave an order, they did not evacuate as a whole, but scattered and separated, so that the Ming army could not concentrate its forces to encircle and annihilate one, and Li Hongji came with a long-distance march, the soldiers were very tired, unable to carry out a long-distance pursuit, even if it was one person and two horses, the physical condition of the person could not stand it, first fought a defensive battle, and in the next rapid march, the iron body would also be tired, and the siege of Shunhe City was quickly relieved, and the residents and factories were not allowed to The sacrifice of the personnel is considered to have completed the mission.

In addition, Governor Ashhard and Grei III on the banks of the Molochinaya River, a large number of troops did allow them to escape, and they also blocked the pursuit of the Ming army there, and confronted the Ming army. However, after taking a breath, Governor Eishad now regrets dying, after returning to the capital of the Ottoman Empire, he will face the harsh punishment of Murad IV, whether it is imprisonment or beheading, at least his family business can not be saved, where is his future?

Don't think about the future, Governor Aishad forcibly suppressed his pain, and wanted to consult with Grei III about what to do next, how to get out of the current predicament, and even make a meritorious turnaround, at least to think of saving his own life, whether he could gather more soldiers from the Crimean Khanate?

In fact, Governor Aishad did not know that Grei III was more bitter than him, his khanate position in the Crimean Khanate was not very stable, he and his brothers fought back and forth for several years, constantly rotating to sit on the khanate chair, this time he and Governor Aishad sent troops to Li Hongji's territory was promoted by him, he tried to keep Governor Aishad's thick legs, stabilize his khanate position, and the next step can be to eliminate his brothers. But this time, unfortunately, the war was completely lost, and Governor Aishad's current position was a bit precarious, and he might even face severe punishment from Murad IV, and he fantasized that he should send someone to bribe Murad IV's favored retainers to see who the next governor was.

The harsh reality would have made everyone almost despair, whether it was Governor Elshard or Gray III, who were now thinking about how to keep their positions, but their thoughts were very conflicting. Governor Al Archard hoped that Glay III would be able to bring in more troops to keep his position. Thinking that Governor Al Ash would lose his current position and would not be able to help him stabilize his throne, the two men were in their respective rooms trying to figure out how to get more out of each other, or to reduce their own losses.

After Li Hongji won the victory in this counterattack war, he did not dare to have any arrogance, but saw the crisis and opportunity from it, the crisis is that his own strength is still very weak, and he still needs to expand the army and territory, and the 10,000 militia selected by Tian Jianxiu should not go back, give them a certain treatment, let them directly transfer to the army, and immediately strengthen training, these people will also see their own strength, and there will be no resistance. And the opportunity is seen from the scale of the cavalry attack on Shunhe City of the Tsarist Empire, the cavalry force of 30,000 people is undoubtedly a very small part of the Tsarist Empire, and the strength of this army is not very strong, and where is their almost million troops, there will definitely be a lot of troops on the Polish-Lithuanian border on the Western Front, and there will be a lot of troops fighting in the tense situation with the Kingdom of Sweden, but where are the hundreds of thousands of troops going?
