Chapter 217: The Russians won't be fooled easily

The snow on the ground was a foot thick, and the sky had been clear for days, but the temperature was dripping and icy, and the snow outside showed no sign of melting.

This is Northern Xinjiang. In winter, the temperature is generally lower than minus 10 degrees Celsius, which is not inferior to the cold of Qinghai in winter.

It was in such a cold and snowy place that the Russian Cossack cavalry still wanted to bypass the Kulongkwe Mountains and kill from Borohugir to Gongchen City. It's just that they didn't know that their actions were all under Liu Xian's control, and when they saw the Cossack cavalry pouring out of the nest and turning to the north, Liu Xian clearly 'saw' the Russian army's plan. One step earlier, he led all the cavalry troops at hand into the southwest of Kulongkui Mountain. And released Isshak at the Borohugil police post.

Ishaq led his troops without the slightest suspicion. Liu Xian led his troops to Kulongkui Mountain, not to say to his subordinates that he was going to fight and block, but to march to the flank of the Russian army and kill Kurgan, that is, the original land of China, a small city in Qihe Prefecture where Lao Maozi is now. His goal is Almaty! The army stopped at Mount Kulongkui to wait for the last resupply and the last rest before the raid began.

Isak led his troops to Borohugil, nominally as a defense against the Russian army in the south, but no one except Liu Xian could have imagined that a large Russian army would really arrive there soon. So no one could have imagined that this was Liu Xian's trick - borrowing a knife to kill people.

This guy is definitely a restless man, and because he has fought against Aguba many times, he also has a high reputation in the Aksu area. In the future, when the Sino-Russian war subsided, peace was restored in Xinjiang, and Ishak, as a meritorious person, was indispensable for an official hat. It would have been difficult to kill him at that time!

"Is it the Russian army? Cavalry or infantry? "I saw the appearance of Ahmat and the two. Song Zuoxian and Wei Ming were shocked. Immediately I thought of the original - the Russian soldiers actually paid the same attention.

Wei Ming didn't talk nonsense, and the first sentence was straight to the point.

"It's the Russian army." Ahmat replied in the affirmative, his face full of sadness. "Yesterday afternoon the cavalry of the Russians suddenly arrived in Borohugil and immediately attacked us. Lord Ishaq resisted desperately, but there were too many Russians. More than 300 of us couldn't withstand it for an hour. Most of them were killed and wounded. Master Ishaq was also seriously injured......"

"How are your adults now? Can the injury be stopped? There were only more than 300 people under his command, and the defeat at the hands of the Russian cavalry was excusable, not a crime of war. "Liu Xian has arrived at the door. When I heard that Ishaq was seriously injured, I was happy in my heart. But on the face, you must not show Xiàn, but also make a look of concern.

Ahmat is very grateful for Liu Xianam's 'care'. "Let the military gate worry. With the blessing of God, Lord Ishak's injuries have been alleviated, and although he will have to nurse for a long time, he finally has no worries about his life. ”

Liu Xian made a sigh of relief, and secretly scolded Isshak in his heart. The next topic turned to the military:

"You see. How many Russian cavalrymen are there fighting with your troops? Are they all Cossacks? ”

"According to the villain's peep, the Russian cavalry is riding four or five hundred, all Cossacks."

There was silence. "Could this be the vanguard of the Russian army?" Wei Ming was worried.

If this is only the vanguard of the Russian army, then the Russian army, which has captured the prisoners and interrogated the location of the main force of its own army, will it have already killed here?

However, after this experience, no matter what, his plan to raid Seven Rivers State was in vain. The Russian army will definitely be prepared.

"Pass the word. Gather troops. "To ask Ahmat to retreat, Liu Xian immediately ordered all the cavalry to assemble and guard, and at the same time sprinkled a large number of reconnaissance teams. Spy around.

Even though no one knew, in fact, he had already grasped it in his heart.

"It's really greedy to defeat Ishaq and find out where your army is stationed, and the Russian army continues to march despite fatigue." Liu Xian said so in his heart.

The camp was filled with the sound of horses. In the past few days, the main force of the horse team has nothing but guards, warriors, war horses. Whether in terms of physical fitness or energy maintenance, it is absolutely superior to the Russian army.

Although the Russian old hairy is especially durable. The Don hippopotamus is also hardy. Liu Xian looked at the Russian troops on the virtual map who were killing towards the camp like a torrent, but he didn't believe that they could still maintain 100% combat power.

Running through a foot of snow. It's very laborious. Although the Russian army was in a hurry to find Liu Xian's large number of horses, they would not ride their horses all the way without restraint.

After each rush, the Cossack cavalry also rested.

Now, a small group of Cossack rangers urged the horses to gallop westward for more than ten miles, and under the leeward slope of a high ground, a large number of Cossack cavalry under the pressure of black pressure was resting.

"Bang-" The figure of the ranger was spotted by the Cossacks of the guard. The crisp sound of gunfire alarmed the resting Cossacks, and made the Cossack rangers rushing to the camp quicker and faster.

More than an hour later, on a vast snowy field, the two Chinese and Russian cavalry teams each set up their own positions in the face of the cold winter wind. A cavalry battle was imperative.

Wei Ming raised the saber in his hand high, and there was a sharp howl from his mouth, and then the sound of the saber being unsheathed became a loud sound, and the 14500 cavalrymen behind him all raised their sharp weapons in their hands like him, and the muskets with ammunition were pressed on the horse's back by them.

A sharp knife in one hand and a musket in the other were the standard attire of the vast majority of Western cavalry in this era.

The Russian army reacted just as quickly. The Cossack cavalry at the front drew their sharp Cossack sabers.

At exactly the same time, the soldiers on both sides shouted and urged the war horses under the seats, and they rushed face to face.

There was no dismounting, no foot fighting, no miscellaneous work. It's all a head-on charge of water!

Because everyone on both sides knows that such a battle is the way for the two armies to distinguish the victory and defeat in the shortest possible time. If the cavalry dismounts and attacks in a horizontal row, and no one on either side wants to suffer losses, then the battle will last for three or five days, and it will not be possible to distinguish between winning and losing.

"Kill, kill, ......" Song Zuo took the lead, he was just a captain, he only needed to charge into battle, he didn't need to command and control the rhythm and combat of the whole army like Wei Ming, and he didn't need to be like Liu Xian behind him, taking charge of the overall situation.

The roaring hooves of the horses were deafening, and the ground trembled when the horses were trampled on them

The distance between the two sides is rapidly decreasing. "Rockets, let's-" Cao Huailiang's shouts sounded behind Wei Ming. It was two four-horse carriages, each with two rocket launchers on them. The rocket team of "whoosh-" only lagged behind the sound for a moment, and the four flaming dragons crossed a straight line and directly submerged into the Cossack cavalry group opposite.

The roaring explosions caused the Cossack cavalry to panic. Especially when the rockets were bombarding at a rate three or five times faster than the shells, every charging Cossack cried out in his heart 'Virgin Mary'. When the distance between the two sides changed from about one mile to thirty or fifty meters, and the last round of rockets before the impact exploded, the Cossack cavalry in the forefront of the entire Russian army was completely scattered and unshaped. And the damage they inflicted on the expeditionary horse team was only to kill and wound twenty or thirty horsemen with their horse guns.

In the smoke of gunpowder, Song Zuo rushed to the forefront of the whole army first, he had already set his sights on two targets, his right hand clutched the saber, and his left hand held a pistol, ready to shoot first, and then cut off the head of the white pigskin on the right with a knife.

The two iron hoof torrents suddenly collided together, and the gunshots rang out intensively in all directions, and the sabre scimitar saber flew up and down, and suddenly blood splattered on the battlefield. Song Zuo rode his horse into the Cossack cavalry formation first, and the saber in his hand slashed left and right, and his upper body was extremely flexible to dodge the Saber of the returning Cossacks, but the lower plate was firmly fixed on the saddle like a pile.

As early as when he was a swordsman, he was one of the best horsemen in the handkerchief, and now he has been mixed in the cavalry for so many years, and his riding skills have long reached the point where he can be compared with Mongolian riders.

The Chinese and Russian armies rushed against each other, and the soldiers on both sides who were unfortunately injured and fell from their horses, even if they did not die on the spot, would be trampled on by the horses behind them and turned into a puddle of minced meat.

When the two cavalry turned their horses and formed again, the battlefield between them was already full of flesh and blood. There are people, and there are war horses.

Wei Ming's position was raised from the central part to the front, and he raised his saber again, pouting his lips, and staring at the enemy opposite with disdain. The cavalry officers behind him had already turned their horses, waiting for his order.

Cao Huailiang was carrying a big gun, and the rocket soldiers around him had all turned into cavalry. Two huge wagons and four rocket launchers were all reduced to splinters and scattered across the battlefield. The remaining eight rockets were firmly tethered to the side of their own saddle. All of them were closely protected, and even Cao Huailiang, a master of horse warfare, could not drink the blood of a Cossack with a spear.

Wei Ming's bloodstained war horse raised its head and neighed, its four hooves rose into the air, and the majestic command once again sounded in the ears of the cavalry soldiers: "Brothers, rush—"

"Rush-" A deafening voice sounded over the battlefield, and under the sunshine, the snowy saber showed off a piece of light.

"Rush—" Semenovsky cried out in shame. The number of their own troops was obviously greater than that of the enemy on the opposite side, and they rushed down in waves, but their own losses were greater. How did this make him accept?

Two Cossack regiments lost at least two hundred cavalry. As the commander-in-chief of the cavalry unit, how could he not be angry?

It's just that Semenovsky didn't know that on the top of a valley not far from the battlefield, Liu Xian was quietly looking at the battlefield. The first wave of fighting is over, the second is coming, and then the team will lead the Cossack cavalry to this place......

At present, this tragic cavalry is rushing, which is only a prerequisite for him to lure the turtle into the urn. Otherwise, the Russians will not be fooled.

And now -- "they're going to be fooled......"
