Just as Xiao Xuan was chatting with the Russian envoy about the reality and even the history of another world line, the new combat rules and regulations were also issued when fighting in Eastern Europe. These regulations were memorized and familiar to the junior officers in the past, and when they were about to fight, they only decided which one to choose to fight with the other side in accordance with the requirements of the order.

In the previous assumption, all unknown and unsuccessful enemies are potential strong enemies. In the face of such an opponent, the team will try to adopt a conservative and defensive combat strategy during the day, and at most dispatch some reconnaissance forces to reconnoiter the movements of the enemy's main force. It is only at night that the team launches an all-out attack and maximizes its strengths.

Therefore, when the main force of the Russian army in front of them saw that the team led by Xiao Xuan was not obviously weak in strength and there were still many horses, they were a little disapproving.

Eastern Europe at this time was different from Central and Western Europe, where the fortresses of this era were rampant, and the Poles, Russians, and Swedes all advocated active field warfare. Only those second- and third-rate armies that could not move to the table at all would encounter the enemy and begin to build fortifications.

Seeing that the negotiators did not return for a long time, even beyond the agreed time. The Russian army once again sent an envoy from the army to inquire about the situation, but of course he was also detained by the Ming army. Although they were very conservative in their tactics, the last Russian envoys to return came with shocking news: "The king of the Easterners or: the purpose of this expedition is to make all the flesh-eaters of the heads of the workers and peasants in Russia disappear." If you don't work, you can't get land, and only in this way can you eliminate the war and threat capabilities of a European country... ”

"Those uninformed Orientals are really arrogant, it seems that they should be made light and sober... The officer in command of the Russian army was not a reckless man, and at first he only carefully observed the temporary barracks and positions of the Easterners with a telescope. It seems that there aren't many long weapons like spears other than firearms, just a few very short-looking Kiba short spears?

"This army is really weird, don't they know what it means to fight with projectile soldiers such as firearms and bows and arrows, and not to have reliable and decent long weapons? Let the Cossacks test the reality of the Orientals. "The generals in charge of the Russian army actually look down on those Orientals who are in charge of the military from the bottom of their hearts. It is said that there are also many armies of Chiba in India, Persia or North Africa, but nine times out of ten they are not the representatives of the Tao.

It was only this time that the Orientals who came were quite a few owners, decent horses and armor, and even bows and arrows that looked like they were not small, so that the Russian general had to be cautious.

At this time, the revolutionary army and the various units of the volunteer army had also accumulated a lot of experience in the previous battles and had become much more mature. He is not doing thankless work, but in the face of the enemy's attack, he tries to maximize the damage to the opponent in the defense. Therefore, when the 30,000 Cossacks tentatively attacked in a rather loose formation in the direction of several miles in a row, and had just assembled within a range of 200 paces, the continuous white smoke accompanied by the sound of guns began to sound one after another, and at least 10,000 guns in the direction of the Cossacks attacked fired at such a distance, which also completely relaxed the hearts of some Cossacks who were nervous before the war. At least this behavior shows that although the army in front of us is quite numerous, it is obviously a rabble or even a small army, not only does it not have many decent long weapons, but even the firearms are so unreliable. From this point of view, perhaps just relying on his own 30,000 main forces can form a sufficient advantage for these 100,000 or so troops who are not at all on the road to achieve a big victory.

But this thought was only for a moment, and then those fierce projectiles swept over like flying locusts, and beyond the distance of the bow and arrow, they seemed to bombard the crowd with undiminished power, and the fire of more than 10,000 projectiles alone knocked down at least a thousand riders and even nearly two thousand horses in the front in the first place. No one thought that those firearms were so huge in terms of power and precision.

But, perhaps because of the threat of such firearms in the battle with the Poles, such casualties and blows only paused the Cossacks who rushed ahead, and soon the whole cavalry approached in a denser formation like a tide.

However, what the Cossacks did not expect was that after only a few breaths, the fierce cannon fire began again. Because the distance of this round of fire was about one hundred and twenty or thirty paces, the gun fire was much more accurate to a large extent. The dense tide of projectiles knocked nearly two thousand Cossacks and even more horses to the ground in a very short time. The attack which had just been organized by the Cossacks on the whole tentative offensive front was completely crushed by this heavy fire, first of all, the horses could no longer withstand such blows and became confused.

At this moment, an overwhelming rain of arrows also came from the ranks of the army, and again in a short time gave the Cossacks a decisive blow and casualties.

After paying the price of five or six thousand men, the general who commanded the Russian army finally understood that this army, which seemed to have a very conservative combat choice, had such powerful projection firepower. At this time, the Russian commander was not willing to give up the battle like this, and began to order the gunners to push the gun carriages to approach forward, and let the dismounted infantry begin to prepare their shields. Prepare for a real coordinated attack of infantry artillery to thoroughly test the depths of those Orientals.

In this way, with the smoke of gunpowder and even the fierce artillery fire from more than 200 field guns that looked decent, the Russian army finally regained the courage to fight and held a meeting to move forward. This time, the protagonists are undoubtedly infantry and artillery. More cavalry groups were instead behind the line at this time.

However, just when the Russian army concentrated its forces to launch a concentrated attack on Xiao Xuan's right flank, the sound of guns and cannons within a range of at least several miles also sounded one after another like a tidal wave. It's not just three-two-shell guns that can be operated by individual or two-man guns.
