Chapter 265: Catching a Turtle in an Urn (Asking for a Monthly Pass)

"Poof!"

The sharp saber was driven by the high speed of the war horse, and easily split an adult man in half. With the help of the high-speed charge of the horses, the cavalry only needs to use a small force to successfully kill the opponent, or directly decapitate the head.

The 3rd Cossack Cavalry Corps of the Russian Army attacked the defense line of the 1st Cavalry Brigade of the Northern Army, and nearly 10,000 people on both sides were strangled together. The 2nd Cavalry Brigade and the 4th Cavalry Brigade of the Northern Army are also attacking the 3rd Cossack Cavalry Corps of the Russian Army from other directions, and the situation of the Russian army is very dangerous.

Under the sharp firepower of the 1st Cavalry Brigade of the Northern Army before, the 3rd Cossack Cavalry Corps of the Russian Army paid a heavy price. After the cavalry of both sides began to fight in close quarters, they were even more at a disadvantage.

Even so, the Cossack cavalry fought very bravely and fearlessly to the death. In addition, they are tall and powerful. In strength, the cavalry of the Northern Army was no match for the Cossack cavalry. However, the Northern Army had an absolute superiority in numbers, often two or three Northern Army cavalry against one Cossack cavalry. As a result, one after another the Cossack cavalry was cut off from their horses in a situation where two fists were invincible to four hands.

"Ahh A terrible howl rang out. I saw a Cossack cavalryman whose face was cut off in half, and fell under his horse with a scream.

The Mongol cavalry, who slashed this Cossack cavalry, did not have time to rejoice. But a saber cut from behind him directly split him in half. It's just that the Cossack cavalryman who succeeded in the sneak attack was also pierced through the body by two sabers almost at the same time.

"Bang! Bang! Bang! ”

A squad leader of the 1st Cavalry Brigade of the Northern Army, shooting from a pistol. Although the range of the pistol is very close, it can also come in handy in a melee. A few bullets knocked several Cossack cavalrymen to the ground.

"Despicable fellow!" The Cossack cavalry gritted their teeth with hatred for this. In his mind, the valiant cavalry should fight with the saber in his hand. But the cavalry of the Northern Army was not only equipped with a large number of artillery. Also armed with a large number of machine guns. This can no longer be called cavalry, it is completely infantry. It's nothing more than infantry on horseback.

In the face of the siege of three cavalry brigades of the Northern Army, the command of the 3rd Cossack Cavalry Corps and the 10th Cossack Cavalry Division of the Russian army suffered heavy losses.

"Damn, you must rush out, you can't die here!" Lieutenant General Anatoly, under the protection of the Guards, charged with a large number of cavalry. In order to break through the interception of the Northern Army. He did his best.

After more than an hour of fierce fighting, Lieutenant General Anatoly finally found a gap and, with dozens of guards, broke through the interception of the cavalry of the Northern Army and fled in the direction of Kulen. The cavalry of the Northern Army, on the other hand, had a company behind them in pursuit. As for the rest of the Russian Cossack cavalry, they were all annihilated.

At the same time, several other cavalry brigades of the Northern Army also took action. The Russian Cossack cavalry, which was used to guard the logistics supply line, was completely annihilated. This also leads to the logistics supply lines of the Russian army. It was all cut off. From now on, the Russian army will not be supplied with a single bullet and a grain of food. Their weapons, ammunition, and food, which are already scarce, will become scarce until they run out of ammunition.

On the afternoon of August 9, under the city of Kulen, another wave of Russian attacks was repulsed. They left corpses in front of the positions of the Northern Army. As the casualties of the Russian army are increasing, their morale is also declining. It's almost freezing.

"Damn! Why can't you tear through the last line of defense of those yellow-skinned monkeys. Yes, those yellow-skinned monkeys must have reached their final moments. If you put in a little bit of effort, you can succeed. Admiral Vladimir told himself. He's already gambling all the chips in his hand. If he can't break through the defense line of the Northern Army and take the city of Kulen, then he will lose a lot, and hundreds of thousands of Russian troops will be completely annihilated. This will also be a devastating blow to Russia.

"General. General Anatoly returned. "The adjutant of Admiral Vladimir reported to him.

"Anatoly? What did he come back for? His task was to protect logistical supply lines. Admiral Vladimir said with great displeasure. With the Russian army's war materials becoming less and less, the security of logistics supply lines is becoming more and more important.

"General, General Anatoly seems to have suffered a crushing defeat. He came back with only a dozen men, and they were covered in blood, as if they had been through a great war. The adjutant continued.

"What? What's going on? Damn it. Those yellow-skinned monkeys have taken advantage of our logistical supply lines. Admiral Vladimir's face turned pale all of a sudden. His worst fears had happened. The counterattack of the Northern Army has already begun. The blow to the logistical supply lines of the Russian army is the beginning. After the logistical supply line was cut off, the Russian army had to starve to death here.

"General, we are under heavy fire from the cavalry of the Northern Army, and the 3rd Cossack Cavalry Regiment is finished. Our logistical supply lines have also been completely cut off. "Lieutenant General Anatoly came to Admiral Vladimir and reported to him.

"It's over, it's all over!" Admiral Vladimir said secretly. He did not mean to blame Lieutenant General Anatoly. He knew that the cavalry of the Northern Army was much larger than the 3rd Cossack Cavalry Corps. The annihilation of the 3rd Cossack Cavalry Corps was also inevitable.

"General, what should we do now? Do you want to continue the offensive against Cullen? Lieutenant General Fyodor asked.

The other generals were also frightened, and they looked at Admiral Vladimir with blank eyes. Everyone knows what it means to them when logistical supply lines are cut off. Although, there are still more than 200,000 Russian troops gathered under the city of Kulen. But without weapons, ammunition and food, they would not be able to fight at all!

"Attack, you have to attack. If we don't take Cullen, we're dead. Only after taking Kulen and getting supplies from the Northern Army can we continue to fight! Admiral Vladimir shouted.

For the Russian army, it seems that it has reached the final point of despair. If they can't succeed, they're dead.

Admiral Vladimir immediately unified his mind and intensified the march on Kulen. In order to break through the defense line of the Northern Army, Vladimir invested almost all of his main forces, except for a small part of the army that remained to guard the camp, the rest of the army joined the attack.

And this also caused great pressure on the Northern Army. Kulen is just a small city after all, even if the Russian army invests 50,000 people in each attack, it is enough to form a gray ocean. Now, the Russian army is doing its best, which shows how fierce their offensive is.

"Send all the troops out! In this battle, we must resist the offensive of the Russians. Otherwise, we're in vain. Wu Haoxuan also had a serious face. He knew that now the Northern Army had to fight hard.

"In addition, send a telegram to the cavalry, asking them to gather at Kulen and wait for an opportunity to launch a diversion attack on the Russian army, so that Lao Maozi has no way to devote all his main forces to the attack on Kulen." Wu Haoxuan ordered.

If the cavalry can appear in Kulun, it will undoubtedly be able to effectively alleviate the pressure on Kulen City.

"Yes, young marshal. And what about the three infantry divisions deployed in Uriya Sutai? Do you want to withdraw it too? Now, the main force of the Russian army has been completely trapped in Uriya Sutai. It is no longer necessary to deploy heavy troops there. Lieutenant General Zhao Xifu said.

"Well, let them pull back." Wu Haoxuan nodded. If the three infantry divisions deployed in Uriya Sutai are withdrawn, then they will have more than 50,000 fresh troops, which will be very helpful for encircling and annihilating the Russian army.

The desperate attack of the Russian army caused the defense line of the Northern Army to encounter a fierce attack. A large number of Russian soldiers, led by junior officers, attacked fearlessly and fearlessly. However, their attack was doomed to be futile. In the face of the powerful firepower of the Northern Army, launching an attack in a dense formation is just looking for death.

After the massive equipping of troops with automatic weapons, the superiority in forces is no longer so obvious. This is undoubtedly very bad news for a country like Russia, which relies on military superiority to ensure the country's military strength.

In the evening, the cavalry of the Northern Army appeared outside the city of Kulen, and the three cavalry brigades withdrawn from the north, plus the four cavalry brigades from the south, made a total of seven cavalry brigades, which directly posed a huge threat to the rear of the Russian army. If the Russian army still puts its main forces into the attack on the Northern Army, then their nest may be eliminated. In that case, the Russian army will be dead.

"Damn, order the troops to retreat!" Admiral Vladimir deserved to give the order to retreat, to regroup the troops. It's just that there are only more than 200,000 people left in the Russian army now.

Tens of thousands of cavalry of the Northern Army cruised around the Russian army's camp to ensure that the Russian army would not break through. In the absence of sufficient supplies, even if the Russian army wants to break through, it is impossible to succeed. In the vast Mongolian steppe, they did not get any supplies at all. On the contrary, under the frantic pursuit of the Northern Army, it will suffer heavy losses.

"Damn, it's over. We're completely besieged in Cullen. Without the supply of weapons, ammunition and food, we simply will not be able to hold out for much time. Admiral Vladimir thought secretly. There is no doubt that now they have become turtles in the urn, and they are about to be completely annihilated by the Northern Army. (To be continued......)
