Chapter 403: The Greedy Cossack Cavalry

When the Cossack cavalry fell into the embarrassing situation that even the 1st Brigade of the Janissaries could not gnaw, the other brigades of the 1st Janissaries Army and the infantry of the 4th Army also came ashore one after another. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

As the commander of the Praetorian Guard, Lu Xiangsheng also met with Chang Yanling, and Chang Yanling informed Lu Xiangsheng of the general situation at this time.

Lu Xiangsheng didn't show a look of worry or joy after hearing this, but just said calmly: "Since we are here, we can't just repel this Cossack cavalry, according to Your Majesty's decree, for this kind of foreign enemy who invades my Ming territory, no matter who it is, it must be annihilated, so that it has no return, so our key now is how to completely annihilate this Cossack cavalry!" ”

"It is naturally easy to repel it, but it is indeed difficult to completely annihilate it, and for this kind of extremely mobile cavalry, we still can't wipe them all out after all, unless we wait for the rest of the fraternal troops to arrive one after another, and then disperse and tie up a net with our infantry in various important places, and at the same time use artillery and flying battalions to kill and wound a large number of Cossack cavalry in the early stage of the war, causing its main force to collapse, and then our infantry will be encircled and annihilated, and the cavalry of the Third Army will sweep up the periphery, so that it will not be destroyed!"

Chang Yanling, as the commander of the Praetorian Guard, although he directly commanded the First Army and the First Brigade of the First Army, his status in the Praetorian Guard was second only to Lu Xiangsheng and Liu Ruyu, so he could also insert a few words in Lu Xiangsheng.

Lu Xiangsheng couldn't help but point at Chang Yanling: "Speaking of which, you let the First Brigade take the lead, and now it's a good thing to bite these tens of thousands of Cossack cavalry first, otherwise if you really wait until all my army gathers, this Orkneido is afraid that he will not be so stupid waiting for us to annihilate, if he is vigilant and good at judging the situation, he should withdraw directly to Eastern Siberia now, now it is better, let him be sandwiched between my local defenders and the first brigade of the Praetorian Guard, let him taste the taste of chicken ribs, and take advantage of this we just to solidify the net!" ”

As he spoke, Lu Xiangsheng propped his hands on the four corners of the marching map, stretched them out on the ground, grabbed a handful of snow and pressed the four corners, and then compared them on the map, and ordered: "In order to avoid startling the snake, the rest of the First Army except the First Brigade and the Fourth Army are divided into two roads, bypassing Temple Street and Longshanwei, making a big detour a hundred miles away, and finally assembling at Mutar, and guarding all parts of the way must be guarded by heavy troops, and must hide their whereabouts so as not to be discovered by Cossack rangers!" ”

"At the same time, the 1st Brigade should show weakness to the enemy, and it must be made to make Orknidor feel that there is an opportunity, and furthermore, along the way, find out where the 3rd Army and the Flying Battalion and the 2nd Army's Machine Gun Battalion have marched, and now the general attack and the defenders are waiting for them!"

……

The Second and Third Armies of the Janissaries marching by land were quite smooth at first, but once they crossed the desert, the climate became more harsh, the roads became more difficult, and this area was still a primeval forest that no one had set foot in at this time, and the Praetorian Guards had to be careful not only of jackals, tigers and leopards, but also of the raids of the rangers of Jiannu and other primitive people scattered everywhere.

As a result, the pace of the march became slower and slower, but fortunately, the first batch of Janissaries and Dongjiang soldiers who had crossed the Outer Khing'an Mountains had already made some marks and opened up many paths, so that the Second and Third Armies would not lose their way.

When the Second and Third Armies of the Praetorian Guards arrived less than 100 miles away from Longshanwei, they finally met the scouts of the Praetorian Guards, and when they learned that the Inspector Lu Xiangsheng had arrived at the Red Rock Beach twenty miles away from Miaojie City and had begun to encircle the Cossack cavalry, Ao Bai and Fu Dahai couldn't help but smile at each other, and had to reply that after a short rest day for the soldiers of the headquarters, they would immediately follow the orders of the Lu Inspector to launch an attack on the Cossack cavalry.

In the afternoon of the next day, the commander of the Cossack cavalry, Oknidos, looked at the boxes of gold and dozens of carts of grain discarded by the retreat of the first brigade of the Praetorian Guard, and couldn't help gritting his teeth with hatred, and scolded: "These yellow dwarfs are really generous, there are so much food and gold in just a few thousand people, no wonder the defenders of the two cities of Temple Street and Longshanwei can hold on for so long, but I am afraid that they have also hoarded a lot of food and treasures, but unfortunately, they can't take it." ”

"Your Excellency Orknidos, it can be seen that the distribution of these grains and gold and silver items discarded by the yellow dwarves is very scattered, indicating that they retreated in a hurry, and had to discard these boxes and boxes of treasures and carts of grain, in my opinion, we might as well take advantage of the victory to pursue, maybe we can coerce them to hand over more treasures, at least the firearms in their hands are very tempting, if we get it, I'm afraid that the Rakshasa Kingdom will be able to dominate the whole of Europa!"

After one of Orknido's cronies said, Orknidor couldn't help asking: "It's just that what makes people wonder is that these yellow dwarfs obviously have very sharp firearms and are very powerful at the beginning, how come they have become so vulnerable in a few encounters, and their casualties don't seem to be serious." ”

"Your Excellency, in my opinion, I am afraid that their ammunition may not be enough and the ammunition will run out, you look at the bullet casings and dismantled wooden boxes all over the ground, I am afraid that they are loaded with ammunition, and once the firearms in their hands run out of ammunition, they will naturally not be able to pose a threat to our Cossack warriors, so they will be in a hurry to retreat."

As soon as this man said this, Oknido suddenly nodded and said: "You are right, I am afraid that the arrival of this army now is only a small force that arrives first, so the ammunition is insufficient, if we don't annihilate it before the main force of its army is in the future, I am afraid that there will be no more chance, in this case, immediately pass the order, pursue this enemy army with all our might, and then decide whether to withdraw or continue to advance after completely destroying this small group of yellow dwarf troops." ”

It can be seen that Orknidor also has the intention of retreating immediately at this time, and the defenders of Temple Street and Longshan Guard, as well as the 1st Brigade of the Praetorian Guard, who have fought him several times, have already made him realize that he seems to be provoking a very powerful empire, if it continues for a long time, he is afraid that his Cossack cavalry will not take advantage of it or even die here, not to mention, at this time, the gold and food obtained are enough for his Cossack cavalry to return to the tribe to confess.

But people are always greedy, and Chang Yanling ate the Cossack cavalry accurately so that the 1st Brigade of the Praetorian Guard deliberately abandoned the food and property of the whole brigade here while showing weakness to the enemy, which made the Cossack cavalry even more greedy and forgot the way back.

In the end, the highly mobile Cossack cavalry still pursued the 1st Janissary Brigade, and of course, the 1st Janissary Brigade also deliberately exposed its whereabouts to lure the Cossack cavalry to the bait.

But just as Oknido and other Cossack cavalry were about to attack the 1st Brigade of the Praetorian Guard, suddenly countless cannonballs emitting black smoke flew over like snowflakes in the sky, and exploded directly in the middle of his army, and immediately exploded on their backs!

"What's going on", Orknidor was stunned for a moment, and then looked back, only to see countless artillery and troops emerging from the hillside in the distance, and even countless strange black behemoths and something like a ball floating in the sky.
