Chapter 100: The Fish Takes the Hook and the Cavalry Fights
Now Mushavyov is really anxious, since he ordered to recruit reinforcements from all over the country to rush to Vladivostok to now, almost ten days have passed, and only less than two hundred people have entered Vladivostok, and as many as three or four hundred people have been wiped out outside the city, how can it go on like this?
The Qing army led by Guo Ye has begun to besiege the city, and once a full-scale attack is launched, Vladivostok will be outnumbered, but it will be really dangerous!
It is necessary to wipe out the opponent's cavalry and open the passage for the Russian army from outside, otherwise, Vladivostok will have to sit and wait for death!
Mushavyov gritted his teeth, but it was difficult to make up his mind, because there were not only cavalry outside, but Guo Ye's Qing army was also close to the left.
"Your Excellency, we must do something! If this continues, our reinforcements will only be broken by each one, and we will really lose control of the east of the Ussuri River! ”
Konev, the commander of the cavalry battalion on the side, said urgently.
Mushavyov said in a deep voice: "Konev, I don't want to annihilate the opponent's cavalry, but the opponent's cavalry has a lot of people, a full 600 people, and your cavalry battalion is only 400 people in total, are you sure that you can defeat the other party?" Even if he defeats the other party, Guo Ye still has 2,000 Qing troops there, all equipped with powerful firearms, once we fall into Guo Ye's trap, we will also fall into a crisis! ”
Konev shouted: "Your Excellency, the Cossack cavalry is invincible, if we can't even deal with the Eight Banners of the Qing State, then what's the use?" Now we have no other way, the reinforcements in Bakhalovsk are too far away, God knows when they will be able to rush over, really let the Qing army launch an attack on Vladivostok, not to mention whether it can be defended, the ferocious artillery fire will definitely turn Vladivostok into ruins! Even if we hold on, what's the use? ”
Mushavyov's heart was shocked, yes, if the Qing army was not deterred by force and let them do whatever they wanted, then Vladivostok would really be reduced to ruins in the artillery fire!
"Konev, I ordered to lead the Cossack cavalry battalion to sneak out of Vladivostok at night, find the main force of the Qing cavalry, wait for the opportunity to fight a decisive battle with it, and gather and annihilate its cavalry in one fell swoop! At the same time, the 2nd Battalion advanced ten kilometers to the north to meet the offensive of the Cossack cavalry. ”
Mushavyov is also a cadre general, with rich combat experience, knowing that there are risks hidden in this, and he must first leave a way for the cavalry to retreat, otherwise, once he falls into the siege of the Qing army, it will be difficult to run, this Guo Ye is brave and ruthless in battle, he is really a ruthless character, and he should not be underestimated in the slightest!
"Yes!"
Konev's face was full of excitement, and it was finally time to take revenge, Basha was his friend, he was beaten miserably by the Qing army, as a good friend, he had to take this bad breath for Basha!
In Siberia at the turn of early summer, the weather is still very cold, especially in the middle of the night, it is still icy and snowy, and the north wind blows people's faces like knives.
Luo Bicheng led the cavalry still cruising on the war horse, no matter when, the cavalry battalion must ensure that the general people and horses are in a combat state, this is the requirement given to him by the military gate, the Cossack cavalry is very powerful, and there must not be the slightest carelessness.
Luo Bicheng naturally strictly implemented the requirements of the military lords, and today is no exception.
At this moment, a cavalryman ran over and said in a low voice: "Lord Guan, the cavalry of the Russian army has come out and is searching for our main force everywhere?" ”
Luo Bicheng was shocked, he came so fast, it seems that we are going to do it again!
Luo Bicheng shouted in a low voice: "Order, the Mongolian cavalry battalion is here to lure the enemy, our cavalry battalion, cruising towards the two wings, once the Mongolian cavalry battalion starts a battle, the cavalry on both wings will attack the Cossack cavalry from both sides, our firearms advantage is obvious, this time we must give the Cossack cavalry a suffocating loss!" ”
The moon is high and the stars are scarce, and the Russians' attire is completely different from that of the Mongol cavalry, which is easy to recognize!
Seeing that the time had come to a moment before dawn, the Cossack cavalry of Tsarist Russia finally found the main cavalry force of the Qing army!
Konev's heart was overjoyed, this is the time!
Konev shouted: "Order, charge the whole army!" ”
The Cossack cavalry roared, hundreds of people launched a whirlwind storm together, and at the same time, the Mongolian cavalry battalion in the distance was already ready, and almost at the same time launched an assault on the Cossack cavalry!
The two sides collided fiercely together, and the sound of fighting resounded throughout the world, and spread far away in the silent night, although the melee combat ability of the Mongolian cavalry was slightly inferior to the Cossack cavalry, but it was not far away, but there was one point that suffered the most, that is, the weakness of the troops, two hundred against four hundred, half the number less than others, and the Mongolian cavalry battalion suffered a lot.
By the end of the first round, the Mongol cavalry battalion had suffered more than forty casualties! The heart of the commander Batu trembled, such a powerful Cossack cavalry, if it was fought alone, the Mongolian cavalry was really inferior to others, Grandma's Luo Bicheng, at this time, don't play tricks with Lao Tzu, Lao Tzu's more than 100 people are all here!
Konev on the other side had some hesitation in his heart, the number of people on the other side was not right, why was there only about 200 people? Didn't you say that the cavalry of the Qing army was five or six hundred people?
When the Cossack cavalry beside him was Nahan, the sound of horses' hooves began to sound in the distance on both sides, accompanied by fierce gunfire!
Waves of bullets flew towards the Russian Cossack cavalry, and when Konev heard the gunshots, he knew that it was bad, the Qing army really had a premeditated plan, this is to turn themselves into the bait again!
Konev was furious and roared: "Order, the whole army is rushing to the south!" Be sure to rush out! ”
The south is the closest to Vladivostok, once lost, it is the best direction to break through, after the Cossack cavalry learned that there was an ambush, one by one began to panic in their hearts, and launched a surprise attack on the cavalry in the south, as for the Mongolian cavalry on the other side, they completely ignored it, and jumped out of the ambush circle of the other side first!
Luo Bicheng was not a fool, he had already thought of the retreat of the Cossack cavalry, and left the main force of two or three hundred people on the southern side, and the musket salvo blocked the approach of the Cossack cavalry.
The brave and unusual Cossack cavalry has completely ignored the rain of bullets at this time, frantically impacting the line of the Qing cavalry, trying to tear a hole in the Qing army's defense line, the Qing cavalry did not show weakness and the Cossack cavalry entangled together, at this time, the Mongolian cavalry battalion in the distance and another green battalion cavalry also rushed over, surrounded the Cossack cavalry!
Fierce battle!
