The blue sky, the gentle breeze, it was the fifth month of the Ming Empire, and the ice and snow of the Siberian plain finally began to melt.

On the vast land, a group of cavalry was galloping on horseback, with the sound of hooves rumbling and mud splashing, breaking the tranquility of the plain and faintly heralding the coming of war.

This team of cavalry is about more than 100 people, all of them are dark black Chongzheng clothes, and they are all equipped with heavy black cloaks, which are waving in the wind, mighty and domineering, and extremely iron-blooded.

They are the soldiers of the Second Regiment of the Daming Frontier Army, the first one, with two bars and three stars on the epaulettes, and they are actually guerrilla generals!

After the hard work of millions of soldiers, the Ming army of the southern route finally rushed to the edge of the Siberian Plain when the ice and snow melted, because the Jinyi Wei spy did not go deep into the territory of Tsarist Russia, Sun Chuanting did not know anything about the situation in the Siberian Plain, so he ordered the First Army of the Frontier Army and the Second Army of the Border Army to send 100 groups of cavalry each to the east and north to investigate.

This cavalry was a group of scouts sent by the Second Army Corps of the Frontier Army, and their main task was to investigate the situation of the Tsarist garrison between the South Route Army and the West Route Army.

The young general at the head is named Pan Feng, he is also a martial artist, but he is only a second-class leader, not a first-class soldier, so he was arranged to be a guerrilla general in the third-class army.

This position is already an unexpected surprise for Pan Feng, you must know that before the Chongzheng Dynasty, Wu Jinshi had no status at all, even if he was the second in high school, he could always be a thousand generals, and it was always the ancestral tomb that smoked, which is like now, he is directly a guerrilla general of the fifth grade, if he wants to change before, if there is no ancestor Yu Yin, he will not want to be a guerrilla general in his life.

It is precisely because of the hard-won that he cherishes this position very much, this investigation, he does not need a general of more than five grades to lead the team in person, but he still volunteered to come, because the competition in the Ming army is quite fierce, mediocre, no military merits, is likely to be demoted, he does not want to change from a general to an ordinary non-commissioned officer!

Pan Feng led more than 100 light horsemen to march forward for nearly two hours, and a low hill suddenly appeared in front of the endless plain, and he didn't know if there would be a Russian garrison on the hill.

The ice and snow on the hills have not melted, and the tall clouds and pines are still covered with snow, and the eyes are all white.

He slowly glanced along the hill from left to right, everything was normal, as if there was no situation, just as he was about to put down the binoculars, a row of city walls suddenly appeared in front of him, he chuckled in his heart, and quickly swept around the city wall, it was a fortress!

The Russian garrison actually built a three-story fortress on the far right side of the hill, which was enough to garrison tens of thousands of people.

He quickly stuffed the telescope into his arms, and then took out a partial map of the Siberian Plain, his fingers slowly moving forward along the path he had come, and his mind quickly calculated the distance between this place and the Ming army camp.

After a few sparse references on the map, he finally determined the location of the fortress, and then, grabbing it with one hand and taking a charcoal pen from his pocket with the other, he drew a circle around the approximate location on the map.

Just as he folded the map and was about to stuff it into his arms, he suddenly heard the faint sound of horses' hooves, as if a large force of cavalry was rapidly approaching them, and he quickly looked around, except for a few low mounds in the distance, the rest of the place was a flat river, and there was no enemy cavalry.

Could it be that the enemy happened to be hiding behind the mound and rushing towards them, he immediately said to a lieutenant beside him: "Guan Bu, go down and listen." ”

When the lieutenant named Guan Bu heard this, he quickly flipped off his horse, scraped the thin mud on the ground with one foot, and then directly put his face on the mud floor and listened carefully.

After listening for a while, he stood up suddenly, pointed to the right rear and said, "The right rear is about two miles, and at least more than a thousand horsemen are accelerating towards us." “

Pan Feng turned his head to look behind the right and saw that there was a mound a few feet high about a mile away blocking the view, no wonder he couldn't see it!

As soon as he looked at the mound, countless cavalry swarmed on both sides of the mound.

It's not good, it's going to be surrounded, he hurriedly ordered: "Everyone, turn the horse's head, left rear, retreat." “

More than 100 cavalry soldiers turned their horses with him, beat their horses and retreated to the right rear.

This unfortunate urge, I don't know if the Tsarist garrison set up a secret post on the mound, or if this Tsarist cavalry happened to be doing behind the mound, silently, they were almost surrounded!

Pan Feng looked behind him while galloping his horse, and at this time, all the cavalry of Tsarist Russia had come out from behind the mound, and nearly 2,000 horsemen were outflanking them, and the nearest enemy horse was less than a mile away from them.

Because the enemy cavalry accelerated ahead of them, and they had been running for nearly two hours, the physical strength of the war horse was obviously worse than that of the enemy cavalry, and the pursuers behind were getting closer and closer, and the distance between the two sides was soon shortened to less than two hundred paces, which was already close to the effective range of the flintlock musket.

Fortunately, the enemy cavalry was not armed with flintlock muskets, but with all-colored longbows.

Seeing that the enemy was getting closer and closer, Pan Feng gritted his teeth, untied the revolver rifle on his back, and while shooting at the back, he shouted: "Everyone, scatter a round backwards." “

When a group of Ming soldiers heard this, they took off the revolver rifles on their backs and shot indiscriminately.

With this shot, dozens of enemy cavalry were knocked off their horses, but for the Tsarist Russian cavalry, which had more than 2,000 cavalry, this loss was nothing, and they still persevered to catch up.

Seeing that the enemy had already begun to unload his longbow and prepare to release his arrows, Pan Feng hurriedly ordered: "Everyone, throw a wave of grenades backwards." “

With that, he took the lead in unleashing a grenade, turned and threw it back.

At this time, most of the enemy cavalry behind had already bent their bows and arrows, and a rain of arrows came over with a "whoosh", followed by a "boom, boom, boom" explosion of grenades.

Pan Feng held the handle of the gun, swept it back, and swept most of the arrows to the side, but there was still an arrow that hit his back, directly through the right ribs, he only felt a huge pain, almost got off the horse and fell off the horse, he held the reins hard, gritted his teeth and held on, fortunately, the arrow did not hurt anything, it just hurt, he did not feel too much discomfort.

However, the other Ming soldiers were not as lucky as him, at least thirty or forty people were shot off their horses by this round of arrow rain, some of them were killed on the spot, some of them were too many arrows and did not hold the reins, and some were directly taken off by the wounded war horses.

When he looked back, he happened to see Guan Bu being hit by several arrows and falling off his horse, and he couldn't help but roar: "Guan Bu!" “
