Chapter 938: Iron Cavalry Highlights the Sound of Swords and Guns (1)
"Boom, boom, boom......"
Since the start of the war, more than an hour has passed, and the remaining two Qing armies have been annihilated by the enemy, but the left-wing troops have never opened meat, and the top and bottom have long been full of energy, this heard Cheng Guiwu's order, all of them were enthusiastic, and the action was extremely fast, and many artillery positions even completed three rounds of rapid fire in a minute, and the efficiency was amazingly high, hundreds of shells pierced the sky overwhelmingly, and smashed towards the charging queue of the Dzungar cavalry. Violent explosions rang out one after another, and in an instant, the Dzungar cavalry was killed and wounded.
"Fire on the divisions, hit me!"
Before the Dzungar cavalry woke up from the chaotic artillery bombardment, Cheng Guiwu had already given the order again, and immediately, the infantry phalanx of the two divisions moved in unison when they heard the order, the machine guns roared, the platoon guns roared, and countless bullets intertwined into a huge net of death, and the head and face were covered by the panicked Dzungar cavalry.
Chaos, chaos! The elite of the Junggar cavalry army has lost most of it as early as the first battle of Wudaogou, and the only remaining elite troops in the first battle of the camp attack the day before were also disabled, and the 15,000 cavalry that are attacking at the moment seem to be strong, but in fact they are just some remnants of the remnants of the aftermath of the catastrophe, and they have long been frightened by the fierce firepower of the Qing army.
The cavalry impact is the first momentum, what you want is the grandeur of the mountains and seas, and the killing of the enemy is the speed, once there are no both, it is just some meat targets, how can the Qing army be covered by such fierce firepower, the unlucky Dzungar cavalry attacked very quickly, but the defeat retreated faster, the Qing army just shelled two rounds, the Dzungar cavalry that attacked was already a place of men and horses, and retreated back to the formation in a panic, fired a round of guns indiscriminately, and then turned around and fled.
"Great Khan, your troops are so passive and sluggish, it will affect the overall situation, if you can't contain the enemy's left flank, the progress made by our Great Russian Empire will be in danger of being lost, and I ask the Great Khan to order a strong attack again!"
Seeing that the Dzungar cavalry retreated back in defeat without blocking a single shot, Grand Duke Gagarin, who was excited about the breakthrough made on both the center and left flanks of the Russian army, could not stand it anymore, and did not leave the slightest affection for the conspirator Alabutan, and unceremoniously made a rebuke.
"Well......, Prime Minister Na Yuzi, you have also seen that our cavalry has been defeated repeatedly, and it is already at the end of the crossbow, and it is embarrassing, I don't know if your troops can attack, Ben Khan can send 30,000 infantry to cooperate with your troops' actions."
Being accused by Grand Duke Gagarin like this, Arabutan's face couldn't help but look a little bad, but the defeat of the Dzungar army was an indisputable fact, even if he wanted to defend it, he couldn't argue it, and in desperation, Arabutan could only sullenly grow out of his mouth and hit the idea on the head of the 30,000 cavalry of the Kazakh Khanate.
"This ......, hehe, the Great Khan Mingjian, we and the other three parties said before the war, our department is only used as a reserve, and now the Great Khan still has tens of thousands of troops, should we have to attack our department?"
Besides, the Kazakh Khanate did not really want to help the Zhun and Russian coalition forces this time, but to act as the internal response of the Qing army, and now, the Qing army has not yet sent a signal to act, Na Yuzi does not dare to assert himself, as for letting his warriors fight with the Qing army, it is a matter of no door, because of this, even if he is sincere in his words, Na Yuzi will definitely not agree.
"Great Khan, this war is about the survival of your country, our Great Russian Army is fighting bloodily, if your troops don't do their best, then our army will have to withdraw first!"
The Kazakh Khanate has always been weak, and the combat effectiveness of its cavalry is also very limited, this point, Grand Duke Gagarin knows it very well in his heart, no side, the Russian army has fought with the Kazakh Khanate over the years, which time is not to fight the Kazakh Khanate, if it were not for the sudden rise of the Qing Dynasty, the Russian army needs to support Zhun and Kazakhstan to contain the Qing Dynasty, and the Kazakh Khanate was destroyed early, because of this, the Grand Duke Gagarin did not look down on the more than 30,000 cavalry of the Kazakh Khanate at all, He did not intend for the Kazakh Khanate to send troops to attack, but put on a tough posture and forced Arabtan to launch another strong attack.
"Yes, Great Khan, your troops will go first, if you really can't attack it again, my Kazakh Khanate will never sit idly by."
Na Yuzi didn't want to send troops in the first place, but when he saw that Grand Duke Gagarin was talking about squeezing and plotting against Alabutan, he was so happy that he hurriedly followed suit.
"Herald: Assault with all your might!"
Being so coquetted by Grand Duke Gagarin and Na Yuz, Arabutan was annoyed in his heart, but he couldn't do it again, and then he saw that the battlefield situation seemed to be quite favorable to the main attacking Russian army, and he really had the ambition of defeating the Qing army, and he didn't hesitate any longer, waved his hand, and gave an order with a gloomy face, and one of his own heralds on the side answered the promise loudly, and hurriedly ran down the hillside to the right flank position where the Dzungar army was located......
On the battlefield that stretches for nearly ten miles, in addition to the right flank battlefield where the Dzungar army is located, there is a fight of blood and fire everywhere, on the middle battlefield, three divisions of the Qing army against two divisions of the first Russian frontier army and a division of the first Russian guards army that was subsequently put into the battlefield, the strength of the two sides is roughly equal, but in terms of the number of artillery and individual weapons, the Qing army undoubtedly occupies an absolute advantage, even if the Russian army does not hesitate to shoot at the Qing army, it can be regarded as causing some casualties to the Qing army. But the price paid by himself was more than four times that of the Qing army, but the Russian army was obviously ruthless, no matter how big the casualties were, they did not retreat, and they simply dragged the main force of the Qing army's middle route army, so that Yue Zhongqi did not dare to divide his troops to support the white-knuckle battle of the junction, and could only suppress the artillery positions of the Russian army with artillery fire, which was regarded as giving some support to Zhang Denggao's department, who was fighting hard in the junction.
On the right flank of the Qing army, Zhang Miao's front, with the strong support of many artillery, led the department to a desperate assault, and finally broke through the interception of the third division of the Cossack cavalry, and rushed into the ribs of the two divisions of the Cossack cavalry like a sharp blade, forcing the Cossack cavalry, who were frantically charging towards the artillery position of the Qing army, had to turn to start a big melee with the Qing cavalry, which was regarded as relieving the siege of the Qing artillery position, but at the same time, the infantry of the three divisions of the Second Russian Siberian Frontier Army was killed from behind at high speed, avoiding the place where the cavalry was fighting, launched a fierce charge to the Qing army from the outermost outermost, forcing Zhang Miao to order Li Mingming's second division to turn to meet the enemy, although the strength is at an absolute disadvantage, but fortunately, the individual weapons in the hands of the Qing army are far superior to the flintlock pistols of the Russian army, and there is the full support of the artillery unit, although the casualties are not small, but also quite passive, but successfully prevented the breakthrough of the Russian army, the two sides lined up to shoot, and it was difficult to distinguish the winner for a while.
Throughout the battlefield, the most fierce fight, it will belong to the Qing army between the middle and the right road between the junction of more than 300 meters wide, in this battlefield, the Russian army invested a division of troops, after the Qing army artillery strike, there are only more than 7,500 people left, and the Qing army two brigades were also looted by the Russian artillery fire, more than 6,000 troops, only more than 5,600 people, the strength is less than the Russian army, but in general it is quite quite, the two armies are mixed together, relying on bayonets to see red, fighting is bloody bravery, It was completely a vicious battle in the era of cold weapons, and the Qing army's firepower advantage lost its meaning, and it could only rely on flesh and blood to fight the Russian army to the death.
In terms of size and strength, the tall Russian army is obviously a lot stronger than the Qing army, on the spirit of blood and bravery, both sides do not lack the spirit of fighting to the death, in terms of troops, the Russian army is slightly more, but in the level of tactical training of fighting bayonets, the Qing army is obviously higher than the Russian army, there is no other, the Russian army's bayonet tactics are all individual combat, and the Qing army is not, they are all in groups of three, cooperate with each other to fight, even if the strength and strength are not as good as the Russian army, but it is really fighting, but the Russian army has more casualties than the old and young, The battle loss ratio is about 2.5 to 1, even so, it is not easy for the Qing army to repel the Russian army that has already killed the red eye, coupled with the Russian artillery fire regardless of the indiscriminate bombardment, the melee here is undoubtedly the most tense place on the entire battlefield.
"Woo, woo, woo......"
Just when the fierce battles were raging on the battlefields, in the formation of the Dzungar army, which had just retreated, a trumpet suddenly sounded, and then five Dzungar infantry phalanxes began to advance forward, and more than 30,000 cavalry troops followed closely behind, putting on a posture of launching a general attack.
"Order: The First Guards Army presses up and attacks the junction of the middle and right flanks of the yellow-skinned monkey, so as to tear apart the enemy formation, and there is no advance or retreat!"
Seeing that the Dzungar army had finally made a big move, Lieutenant General Tolsky, who was observing the battlefield situation halfway up Mount Geden, immediately came to his senses, raised his hand, and heroically sent the last reserve to the battlefield, which was about to make a desperate bet.
"Knock, knock......"
As soon as Lieutenant General Tolsky's order was issued, the troops of the two divisions of the 1st Guards Army, which had been on standby for a long time, immediately began to move forward, and the drums of war rumbled, and the murderous spirit rose up and went straight up to the clouds!
This is about to start, so come on!
As soon as he saw that the Russian army had finally sent out the last reserves, Hongqing, who was observing the movement at the back of the battlefield, immediately became alert, a sharp flash flashed in his eyes, and the hand holding the railing of the command tower was immediately tightened, but he was not in a hurry to order, let alone send the reserves, just a slightly hideous smile appeared at the corner of his mouth......
