056 First draw
Although Shu Zifeng's cavalry team was not large in number, they had a sharp spearhead comparable to that of a big knight, and with the abundant physical strength to wait for work, they inserted it accurately in a complete wedge formation side by side.
On the other hand, the aristocratic cavalry who had just broken through the militia spear phalanx, even though they still had more than 300 people who had not been shot down and dismounted, rushed all the way from the ambush circle, and had a frontal hard steel battle with the conscription militia at the narrow exit, and their spirit had long been exhausted, not to mention the cavalry queue that had long been gone.
Of course, the most important thing is that there is no real great knight in this group of noble cavalry who can match Shu Zifeng!
Under the leadership of Shu Zifeng, dozens of horsemen easily penetrated the array of noble cavalry, completely tearing, dividing, and slaughtering them!
Half an hour after Shu Zifeng led the assault on the exit, the victory and defeat were divided.
However, in the middle of the ambush circle, Baron Jamai was facing a life-and-death crisis, he kicked away the dead body covered in iron armor, glanced at the knight's sword that had been cut in his hand, gasped and threw it aside, picked up the scimitar left by the dead body, and looked at the mountain battlefield in the melee.
Baron Jamai never imagined that this group of besieged Rostov avant-garde infantry would be so tenacious in their will to fight, and after experiencing a large number of corpses left by the sudden blows of boulders and various bows and crossbows, they would be able to rush up the current to the mountains on both sides to continue the battle.
The number of Rostov-on-Don soldiers who rushed up was not more than that of the first battalion, but after more than half an hour of fierce fighting, the first battalion, which had the advantage of terrain and physical strength, was beaten and retreated.
Initially, the Pioneer soldiers fought with vodka for meritorious deeds and promises, but now the remaining Pioneer soldiers are only able to survive and raise their arms against the equally exhausted enemy.
The situation on the battlefield seems to have been reversed, because this group of elite veterans of the Rostov avant-garde army who were ambushed, they were shot and killed to death without resistance under the sudden attack, and a large number of comrades were killed with bitter hatred.
The soldiers of the first camp are just ordinary civilian class, not nobles, and they can't get a ransom if they are captured, plus the blood feud they have just made, this group of arrogant elite veterans is naturally ruthless.
They are not the big men who boast of chivalry, they are just professional mercenaries who lick their blood, elite soldiers promoted from the noble guards and city defense armies, and in their simple thinking, the enemy is divided into only two kinds, one is a valuable aristocratic captive, and the other is a worthless ordinary captive.
Just as the nobles don't care about their lives, this group of soldiers doesn't care about the lives of the civilian class soldiers, and even their own lives can be thrown away!
Baron Jamai found that he was killing more and more people, but the number of enemy soldiers besieging him did not decrease but increased, and the group of cannon fodder in the first camp could not be compared with this group of elite infantry of the Rostov avant-garde army in terms of equipment and individual combat effectiveness, after all, the first battalion expanded so many people, most of them were soldiers who made mistakes in the conscription militia and were pulled in, and there was not much difference between them and the farmers who took up arms.
If it weren't for the first-hand advantage of the ambush and ruthlessly killing a large number of elite infantry troops of the Rostov avant-garde, I am afraid that these cannon fodder who first entered the camp would not even be qualified to fight with the other side......
Just as Baron Jamai was gradually falling into the siege of dozens or hundreds of elite infantry from Rostov-on-Don who had come to kill his opponents, the belated roar of muskets finally came from the official road.
Hearing the familiar sound of a salvo of delicate arquebuses approaching, Baron Jamaica, who thought he had exhausted his strength, suddenly burst out of nowhere with the power of returning to the light, and in a short period of time, surrounded and forced the elite infantry of Rostov to temporarily retreat.
Immediately, Baron Jamai saw the big banner of 'Shu' slowly rushing not far away, and laughed heartily, because he knew that he had survived again, and as long as the reinforcements came ten minutes late, he would be beaten to death by exhausting his physical strength in this melee!
As the roar of muskets got closer and closer, the Rostov avant-garde infantry around Baron Jamai no longer cared about killing, and fled to the outskirts of the battlefield in panic.
They had been fighting for nearly an hour, and they didn't have much strength to continue slashing people, not to mention that there was a full musket queue on the opposite side, and not many of them could still afford to hold swords......
When the musketeers led by Bandak rushed to the battlefield, the battle basically came to an end, and the desperate elite infantry of Rostov-on-Don, some of them scurried between the mountains like headless flies, and some of them continued to slash and kill the cannon fodder soldiers of the surrounding camp with the idea of killing one without losing two and making a profit.
Most of the soldiers of the Rostov Avant-garde, of course, made a sane choice and laid down their arms and surrendered on their knees.
The soldiers, who have consumed a lot of energy, are really unable to continue fighting, and can only resign themselves to fate to the winner.
After Shu Zifeng's men and horses won a decisive victory, they pursued the remnants of the enemy for a day and a night and cleaned up the battlefield to make up for the knife.
This battle can definitely be regarded as a crushing victory for Shu Zifeng, the gap in the military quality of the two troops is too big, even if Shu Zifeng took the lead in ambushes and surprise attacks, he was still killed by the elite of the Rostov avant-garde army.
The 500 Pioneer Battalion cannon fodder and 500 conscripted militiamen who were used as bait at the beginning were almost completely wiped out, because the ambush did not care about their lives at all, and were slaughtered together as the pursuing enemy troops, and the captured conscripted militia and the Pioneer Battalion cannon fodder were all slaughtered by the angry soldiers of the Rostov Avant-garde Army who were attacked, so few lucky people survived to the end of the battle......
In addition, the heaviest losses were the remaining more than 1,000 first-boarding cannon fodder that were almost annihilated by the elite counteroffensive of the Rostov avant-garde infantry, and after post-war statistics, the more than 1,000 first-boarding cannon fodder removed the missing and seriously wounded, and only more than 100 returned intact.
Secondly, it was the conscription militia that stood in front of the noble cavalry, and after the noble cavalry broke through the spear phalanx of the conscription militia, they easily harvested the small number of conscripted militia, and the entire establishment was wiped out......
However, due to the good performance of the conscription militia this time, the surviving conscription militia was enough to be promoted to the real warrior battalion.
The losses were very large, but the casualties of the soldiers from the system were extremely small, so Shu Zifeng didn't care too much, he was staring at the reward of the task three listed by the conquest system at this time, a chance to draw a lottery with an unlimited range in theory!
