After dawn, the Qin army appeared directly outside the city of Boli.

All the people in the city seemed to be uneasy. Officials and businessmen were distressed by the lack of specific information from the front line, and they felt uncomfortable. Civilians are even more worried about the safety of their families and are restless.

The city of Burleigh has restricted the business activities of its residents, the streets are closed, and the streets are patrolled by soldiers. The people had no access to outside news.

"What will happen to you?" Officials asked.

They don't praise Kosolov as much as they used to, Andrey. Governor Korf no longer praised Major Kosolov, whom he admired, and remained silent when people talked about the army.

Not only that, but that afternoon, as if intent on alarming the inhabitants of Boli City, things had come together, and another terrible piece of news had come to the fore.

Rumor has it that the Chinese army outside the city has surrounded the whole of Boli and has divided and surrounded various positions outside the city with surplus forces.

……

City Hall.

Andre. Colf's breathing began to be rapid and heavy, his lower lip was shaking, and his eyes were moistened with tears.

"Lieutenant Colonel. What kind of news did you bring to me? Is it good news? ”

"No, Your Excellency the Governor. Very bad news. Major Kosolov was killed, and the troops placed there were almost completely annihilated by the Chinese. ”

"What about the rest of the positions?"

"The other five positions are still there. But they can't stop the Chinese. ”

"Can you withdraw all the troops to the city?"

"Your Excellency, that would be a great cost. I'm going to lose at least half of my troops and all my heavy weapons. Including heavy machine guns. ”

Andre. Colf sank halfway. "Lieutenant Colonel, I can see from what happened. Christ wants us to make heavy sacrifices to prove our loyalty to Mother Russia. If the troops outside the city are not withdrawn, is it possible to hold the city? ”

"If there is no guarantee. I will obey the will of the Lord; Please sue me. Lieutenant Colonel Vasilyev, relying only on the troops in the city, can withstand the attack of the Chinese? ”

In Andrey. Under Kolf's cold gaze, Vasilyev opened his mouth and couldn't say a word 'can'! It is self-evident.

Andre. Colf closed his eyes. "Tell me my orders, and order the troops to withdraw to the city." No matter how great the losses are, the city can be replenished with the remaining troops. But if those soldiers were left outside the city, their fate would be sealed when the city of Boli was lost. "What is the situation with the militia now? Have you ever noticed a drop in morale? ”

"Your Excellency, will you allow me to speak as frankly as a loyal soldier?"

"Lieutenant Colonel. I have always asked for that. Don't hide anything, I want to know the truth. ”

"Very well, Your Excellency the Governor. I tell you that the militia of the city of Burleigh is now plunged into a deep despair, from its leader to every soldier. ”

Andre. Coulf's face flushed, and his eyes lit up with anger.

"Will we, the Russian nation, be discouraged in the face of defeat? No way! "Andrey. Colf waved his arms vigorously: "You go and tell our warriors, and all the subjects of the city of Sù Boe, if the time comes when I don't have even one warrior left, I will personally go to the battlefield with a gun." Victory in this war was destined to belong to the great Russia. His Majesty the Great Tsar. We are far stronger than the Chinese! ”

"I refuse to surrender in shame." Andre. Colf said with his hand on his chest.

……

Qin army position.

In the large open space, groups of war horses were quietly drinking, eating, grassing, and resting. The deafening sound of gunfire not far away did not alarm them.

A fast horse came straight to the brigade headquarters of the 10th Brigade of the 5th Cavalry Division.

At this time, Ren Huabang, the brigade seat of the 10th Cavalry Brigade, was resting on the marching bed boringly.

In the past, Li Hongzhang called him "the first-class cavalry general of today, and he was compared to Xiang Yu". The leader of the Twist Army, who is equal to Zhang Zongyu, is the highest boss who took the initiative to break away from the army when Shi Dakai left southwest Yunnan.

Ren Huabang became famous as a teenager, and Bao Chao and Liu Mingchuan, who fought 20 years ago, were afraid. Monk Greenqin gritted his teeth. But he's really not half as young. I'm only in my early forties.

Liu Xian will not let such a character go back to the countryside. The future Qin army will be very useful for cavalry. Although Ren Huabang is a traditional cavalry general. But as long as you stay in the military academy for a few months, you can become proficient in the armament of the cavalry of the Qin army. Liu Xian's confidence in him is far greater than that of some generals of the current cavalry.

He won the world too quickly. His troops are not trained enough, especially the generals. Except for a few people, he can't rest assured when he fights the national war.

Therefore, Liu Xian personally issued an order to invite Ren Huabang to Beijing, and then invited him to go out of the mountain. After three months in the military academy, Ren Huabang has not been in the northeast for long.

Many officers of the 10th Cavalry Brigade, Ren Huabang, are still not famous. This time, he marched into Boli with Zhao Tong, and the officers he was more familiar with in the 10th Cavalry Brigade were all ordered, and his plan was to make a great contribution.

Ren Huabang has not been active in China for 10 years. And for Qin Jun, no matter how big his name is, it should not be used. After the 10th Cavalry Brigade was parachuted, the first crisis it faced was the lack of prestige.

In Ren Huabang's view, this battle is a great opportunity for him to make military merits and establish his prestige. Who knew that the Russians were shrinking so quickly that they had no intention of fighting a sports war at all.

It has been three days since the official start of the war, and the main forces of the cavalry units have also rested for three days.

"Traveler, traveler." The cavalry lieutenant dismounted outside the brigade headquarters and ran into the rear tent. Ren Huabang had already sat up from the marching bed. "Brigade, the Russians moved. The Russians on the positions outside the city moved. An order came from the passenger seat to quickly prepare for battle. ”

When Ren Huabang, who had no energy on his face, heard the word 'battle', his eyes increased tenfold brightly. The whole person feels different. It is an unsheathed war knife, revealing a sharp edge that cuts off a qiē.

"Pass my orders, and the whole army will assemble!"

Seven brigades of cavalry units quickly assembled in one place.

There is nothing to hesitate about. Leave the two cavalry brigades on duty last night as a backup. The remaining five cavalry brigades, each taking a Russian position.

Can an infantry leg, no matter how fast it is, be faster than a four-legged horse? When the retreating Russian troops. Or when the retreating Boli City militia was panicked by the artillery fire of the Qin army. Five brigades of cavalry swept down, and killing the enemy would be as easy as slaughtering chickens.

On a tall and strong Ili horse, Ren Huabang looked with a telescope at the Russian army that was gradually becoming panicked and chaotic in the midst of artillery fire not far away, and his face was full of murderous energy.

Ren Huabang, who had only fought in the 'Civil War' before, felt good about being able to kill Lao Maozi today. If it weren't for the hard and fast rules of the battle regulations, he would have wanted to go to the battlefield himself.

Soon, one of his hands was slowly raised, and the cavalry behind him mounted their horses. Soon, they were arranged in three scattered horizontal formations, and slowly rode forward. There was no other movement, just quietly listening to the earth-shattering cannon sound and looking at the billowing gunsmoke.

"Draw your sword!" Ren Huabang pulled out his saber with a snort, pointing straight ahead. The standard-bearer behind him immediately shook the battle flag, and the 'bell' of the brushing was a sound of drawing swords, and the Qin army's cavalry group suddenly reflected a white and flickering bright light. Just like the silver scales on the surface of the water, looking from afar, dazzling people's eyes.

Countless bombing sites exploded in the ranks of the Russian army.

When the cavalry of the Qin army drew their swords, the intensity and accuracy of artillery shelling suddenly increased to a higher level.

A flash of fire. The brown earth fell, and pieces of Russian militia were cut down by shrapnel.

Ren Huabang's saber turned into a fierce group of forwards, and the battle flag behind him shook three times.

"Rush!" The captain of the cavalry brigade pointed forward sharply with the saber in his hand, and the war horse under his crotch was stabbed hard by the spur. Let out a long hiss, spread all four hooves and gallop forward.

There was a thunderclap on the plains.

The cavalry of the five brigades of the Qin army beat their horses and galloped in a shout of "rush, rush!"

Cavalry is also a type of unit that pursues speed. This kind of galloping horses and flying horses swept away made all the warriors glow with an indomitable momentum of victory! The sword is as bright as snow. The sound of hooves is like thunder, and the thrill of riding a horse and slashing is far from being comparable to hitting people from afar with a long or short spear.

The horse team swept through the wind and sand and rushed towards the Russian troops! The galloping of a thousand horses. It really makes people understand a truth - speed is power!

Ren Huabang still had a solemn look on his face, but his heart was turbulent. He has been running to Xichuan since he hit the north. It's never been used again. What is the situation in the three southwestern provinces? Not at all suitable for cavalry galloping. And with the passage of time, more and more war horses are getting old, and Ren Huabang is about to change from a rider to a foot general.

It is precisely because of the difficulty of reaching his ambition for many years that Ren Huabang still has a wildness in his bones, so easily persuaded by Liu Xian. Otherwise, such as Bao Chao, Yang Yuebin, Peng Yulin and others, no matter what Liu Xian said, they would not raise their heads and respond.

The onslaught of thousands of troops! This is the joy that Ren Huabang has dreamed of for many years! That shout, that trampling of horses' hooves, is enough to make any bloody man burst into infinite fighting spirit!

War horses with a grass-green outfit rushed left and right in the black and gray crowd, unstoppable! Everywhere the knife flashes, there are always Russian soldiers screaming that they have lost their lives or limbs. The red battle flag followed closely behind the grass-green figure, waving in the wind.

Ren Huabang really dared to drink a bowl of ice brew on dog days, and it was refreshing. He just likes it. Riding a horse into the crowd, slashing and slashing with impunity. This is the greatest pleasure of cavalry!

Alexei looked stunned, under the onslaught of the Qin cavalry, the militia under his command had completely collapsed. Often a touch of grass-green figure can easily annihilate three or four black and gray figures! The rifle in his hand weighed thousands of pounds, and he couldn't even lift it when it was so heavy.

A rushing green figure suddenly enlarged in his eyes, and when Alexei's gaze could no longer encompass the entire figure, a white light turned blood red.

After Alexei fell, the last look at the world was exactly the Russian tricolor being cut down with a knife! (To be continued......)
