"Rest in place! Order the guys, get some hot breathing! Faitinov saw that although there were still more than 3,000 people under his command, they were sleepy and lacking horses, and if he continued to hurry, it was needless to say what the situation would be if he encountered the opponent's cavalry again. What's worse is that due to the previous retreat, 2 or 300 cavalry were lost.

"Two of the five knights on the other side have already appeared, so the remaining three must be nearby!" Looking at the map of the march on the ground, Faydinov licked his dry lips with his tongue. In order to prevent the smoke from being discovered by the enemy, the entire cavalry team did not have hot water to drink. Although Faydinov still had half a pot of wine with him, he was not willing to drink it, but now if he doesn't eat some hot food and replenish some energy, the next road will be even more difficult.

"Here!" "Here we are, with a plain in the middle, but surrounded by mountains, and to the northwest, there is a gap that leads to the plain, but we are the madmen of the Freeship Knights we met in that direction. Now it should have been blocked by the Mongol Dark Cloud Knights, and there were so many of those Mongol horses, it is estimated that it was because of their fast horses that they were the first to arrive and save the group of madmen. Faydinov swiped his hand to the northeast, "This is the road we took when we came, and it is estimated that it is also blocked by them now, and we will forcibly break through this road." So are there any other trails nearby that can be walked? ”

Several Mongolian guides in the army discussed for a while, and finally one of them said, "Dear Comrade Commander-in-Chief, we are afraid that we will encounter the situation like yesterday when we take these paths, but we must know that nothing like this has never happened here before!" ”

"You mean we brought them in?" An officer in the Soviet army immediately reprimanded.

"You don't have to be afraid, this must be the ghost of the White Russian army. I ......" Faitinov's words were not finished, "boom! Not far away, it was blasted out of a mess.

"What's going on?" Losing people does not lose the battle, although the Soviet Russian army is sleepy and lacking, but scouts are still sent around, but the voice just now....Is it?!

There was no longer a need for Faydinov to think about it, and the roar sounded again, "Shelling!" "The Russian cavalry was hiding in all directions, and there was chaos in the makeshift resting place.

"Report!" The long-overdue scout finally appeared, "We have placed sentries within a kilometer of the surrounding area, and just after the cannon sounded, the sentry on the east side ran forward for another kilometer before seeing the opponent's artillery position!" ”

"Boom!" Another shell landed a hundred meters from Faitinov, "Listen to this sound like the 75 infantry guns of the French!" Faitinov's expression was calm, he tightened his belt, and ordered, "The enemy's infantry has come up, it seems that we have been surrounded, pass my order to the whole army to the east, break through!" ”

In fact, in Faydinov's heart, he had just thought of countless ways out, and breaking through to the east was not the only way out, and even if he failed to break through, he suddenly went south, rushed all the way to Outer Mongolia in China, and then found another way out of the retreat, Faitinov had just thought about it.

What forced Faitinov to make such a decision was the French 75 infantry guns, which were now roaring vigorously. The high-level of the White Russian Army had speculated before that there should be modern artillery in the White Russian Army, not all of those old-fashioned artillery.

Isn't it a waste, one might say, to use artillery to destroy the cavalry scurrying around? In fact, this is also the case, but if the purpose of the White Russian army is not to destroy, but to drive away, then using artillery to force the cavalry to move in a certain direction, intensive artillery fire can still complete this task.

It's like a pack of wolves, driving a herd of deer into their pockets of hope!

"Report to the commander-in-chief, there is an urgent military intelligence report in the rear!"

"Stop!" Faydinov shouted suddenly, and immediately the rolling Russian cavalry stopped, and some of the horses snorted from time to time due to the long trot.

Faydinov asked the scout: "The rear pursuers, caught up?" ”

The guard cavalry beside him also looked at the scout cavalry.

After listening to the scout's report and looking at the surrounding shape, the White Russian cavalry not only appeared in the front, but even appeared on both wings and in the rear, and the Soviet Russian cavalry advanced all the way to the northeast, but it is unknown, and now there are White Russian cavalry in front and back.

In the face of heavy encirclement, Faitinov has a bit of confidence in his heart, and the source of his confidence is these knights around him. As regular cavalry of Soviet Russia, they were all dressed in dark brown Russian long military coats, and their demeanor was fierce, because they had been on the battlefield for a long time because they had moved from Europe to the Far East with Faitinov.

They came from a variety of backgrounds, including Cossacks, Ukrainians, and Caucasians, but they followed Matveyev for a long time, and all of them were loyal.

They were divided into a saber group and a firepower group, and the saber group was equipped with short weapons such as pistols in addition to special sabers and water beads. The fire team is equipped with a shotgun, of course, immediately with a water bead, the hit rate is extremely poor, often false, difficult to target, so a wide range of killing weapons, shotguns have become their killer weapon. It was with this weapon that he was able to escape from the previous battle with the Mongol submachine guns.

"Behind us now should be the Mongols, twenty miles away from us; To the south of us was the artillery corps, also about twenty miles away. Ten miles to the north is a series of mountains, which are not suitable for cavalry combat, so the most suitable for us to fight at the moment is directly ahead. I guess it's the elite of the other side in front of us, and there's a good chance that this is the place for the decisive battle. Faydinov analyzed the situation reported by scouts from all sides.

Sure enough, not long after, the scouts sent out again rushed back, and from the east, on the road where they came, countless White Russian cavalry rushed innumerable, and the number was so large that there was no end in sight.

Not only that, but from the mountains to the north, there are even a large group of infantry, which is setting up improvised positions and erecting machine guns to block the Russian cavalry from entering the mountains.

Faydinov's face is difficult to look at, he is not completely fearless, in his opinion, he has entered the circle of the main force of the White Russian army, where should he go? How could these White Russians have so many troops? Could it be that Matveev was captured?

Faydinov was confused.

If Faydinov immediately chooses the best plan, the first choice is, of course, the commander immediately turn south, and the encirclement of the White Russian army, before and after, although the mileage is similar, but it is not so tight that the cavalry cannot run out.

And there are cavalry in front and rear, and the north is a strictly defended infantry position, only the south and east and west directions of the opponent are not tightly coordinated, but the southeast direction is also a group of mountains and mountains, and there is only a way out in the southwest between the south and the west.

But with such an obvious release of water, could it be a trap?

Faitinov looked around, the plains were reckless, the trees were scarce, occasionally there were some sparse forests, dotted with some larch and other miscellaneous trees, but it was winter, most of them only had a light pole left, and there was a sense of slaughter all around, a gust of wind swept in, the grass and treetops were swaying, and the snow on the ground was also raised a lot.

And deep on the horizon on all sides, which the eye could not see, seemed to have a large army marching, and a sense of oppression was overwhelming......

Seeing that everyone was looking at him, Faydinov suddenly decided: "Turn around first and break through to the southwest." ”

Even if it's a trap, you have to step on it, although I don't know why the other side has so many cavalry, but these real cavalry have broken the last bit of hope in Faitinov's heart to break through to the east.

With some apprehension, more than 3,000 horsemen rode Soviet Russian soldiers, pulled their horses and turned back, and ran back along the way they came, and the Mongolian cavalry of the White Russian Army, which had fallen behind them, immediately adjusted their direction and followed them south, but due to the distance, they were still a long distance away from the Soviet Russian cavalry.

All the way back, the road behind is not stable. After all, the Soviet and Russian armies have been fighting for days, and the people and horses can't bear it, and they are gradually caught up by the pursuers in this endurance race of horsepower.

A cavalry contingent in hot pursuit, carrying the flag of the "double-headed eagle" on a black background, was none other than the crippled knights of the Cossacks.

The Crippled Knights are a knightly order formed by the Cossack cavalry exiled in Siberia, and the combat power is not inferior to those European Cossacks, and because they all crawled out of the pile of the dead, they are not afraid of death, but the number is small, only more than 900 people. However, they were mortal enemies with the Soviet and Russian cavalry in Europe, and the so-called enemies were very angry when they saw each other, and this was the case with the Cossacks and the Russian cavalry now.

After receiving the news that the Soviet Russian cavalry turned south, they immediately broke away from the brigade and ran all the way at all costs, only before sunset, they bit Faitinov's tail.

These Cossacks, all of them are quite skilled in horsemanship, some of them are armed with horse guns, or fast and slow machines, divided into many small groups of cavalry, relying on sufficient horsepower, scurrying around, they move flexibly, distributed in the periphery of the Soviet Russian cavalry, one blow away, see a large group of Soviet Russian cavalry rushing back, immediately scattered with a bang. Their task was to bite the Russian cavalry, after all, the Russian cavalry numbered more than three times as many as them, and with the strength of the Cossacks alone, it was simply impossible to destroy them.

And because of the flexibility of the Cossacks, it was easy for the Russian cavalry to crush them, and it was difficult to annihilate them! So Faitinov couldn't do anything with them, and between chasing and fleeing, when the moon hung in the middle of the sky, the Knights of Justice of the White Russian Army also caught up.
