"Ulla!" "Ulla!" Thousands of Cossack cavalrymen of the 15th Cavalry Division of the 4th Cossack Cavalry Corps of the Russian Army, waving their sabers in their hands, instigated their horses, and quickly rushed towards the position of the 14th Brigade of the Imperial Army. The black cloak behind him fluttered in the wind, as if it were connected into a black ocean. The sound of the galloping horses was continuous, as if a muffled thunder sounded.

The 15th Cossack Cavalry Division of the Russian Army, with a total of more than 6,000 people. In addition to the more than 1,000 men left behind by Major General Alekev, the remaining 5,000 cavalrymen all participated in this attack. In his opinion, such strength was enough to wipe out the 14th Brigade of the Imperial Army exposed outside Shengjing City. A contemptuous smile spread across the face of Major General Alecev, who always believed that it was a stern mistake for the Imperial Army to go out of the city to fight. Infantry, even with fortifications, is absolutely impossible to contend with cavalry. He wanted to use this attack to let the people of the Chinese Empire know that the great Cossack cavalry was the master of the battlefield.

After the Russian army was fully launched, the 14th Brigade of the Imperial Army and several artillery battalions on the walls of Shengjing City were ready for battle. Although, many of the soldiers began to sweat in their palms. However, the good combat quality still allowed them to enter the state of combat readiness for the first time. The weapons in their hands were already aimed at the approaching Russian cavalry, and as soon as the order to fire was given, they would shoot their bullets at the enemy, killing those evil enemies. In the education and propaganda of the Imperial Army, the Russians were likewise promoted as greedy, unscrupulous enemies. Plus some of the atrocities that the Russians have committed at home. So that the soldiers of the empire were also full of hatred for these Russians.

"Fire!" When the Russian army was only 5 kilometers from the walls of Shengjing City and only 3 kilometers from the defensive positions of the 14th Brigade, the running commander gave the order to open artillery. 120 75-mm field guns, which were already ready to open fire. They opened fire.

"Boom! Rumble! Rumble! The cannons began to roar, and the dull sound of shelling continued and rang out. One by one, the shells whistled towards the cavalry ranks of the Russian army, and the shells pierced the air at high speed, making a sharp whistling sound that made people's eardrums faintly painful.

The shell fell into the ranks of the Russian army and exploded, creating a shock wave that spread in all directions. Some of the Russian cavalry was thrown high. After falling to the ground, life and death are unknown. The scattered shrednel killed the Russian cavalry within the killing range.

Under intensive artillery fire from the Imperial Army. Russian cavalry were constantly killed and wounded. Those Russian cavalry who fell off their horses ended even more tragically. The war horses galloping at high speed were difficult to stop, and they were almost dragged away by the war horses. In the end, he was dragged to death. Even some skilled cavalry. Able to ask for a war horse. However, the war horses coming from behind at high speed will also trample them into meat sauce.

The commander of the Russian army, Major General Alekev, watched coldly at the casualties of the Russian army, without the slightest expression on his face. Although, in the heavy shelling of the Imperial Chinese Army, the losses of the Russian army were not small. But. This casualty did not move him. He firmly believes. As long as the Cossack cavalry of the Russian army can fully reach the front of the Imperial Army, and then break through the defenses of the Imperial Army, and strangle with the Imperial Army. At that time, it was time for the Cossack cavalry to take prey. After the two sides were strangled together, the Imperial artillery would stop firing so as not to injure their own people by mistake. The sabers in the hands of the Cossack cavalrymen could easily kill the soldiers of the Imperial Army. The final victory must have belonged to the Cossack cavalry.

A distance of three kilometers is nothing for a high-speed galloping war horse. In less than two minutes, the Cossack cavalry reduced the distance to less than two kilometers. At this time, infantry guns and medium mortars deployed in the artillery positions of the 14th Brigade opened fire one after another. Once again, a fire strike was inflicted on the Cossack cavalry, which was running at high speed. Soon, those light mortars also opened fire. Dense shells exploded in the ranks of the Russians, knocking them off their horses. Four-shot shrapnel, harvesting the orders of these Russian cavalry.

The power of mortars is far from being comparable to howitzers. However, in terms of rate of fire, it turned out to be several times higher than that of howitzers. The Mortars of the Imperial Army, capable of reaching a maximum rate of fire of 5 to 8 rounds per minute, were armed with a total of 72 60mm light mortars and 56 80mm medium mortars per brigade. Such firepower is enough to make the army of any country rush to shame.

The Cossack cavalry, who were the enemies of the Imperial Army, were now undoubtedly feeling the power of this formidable firepower. They only felt that there were shells exploding around them, and in the wailing of the horses, their comrades kept falling. They are like fallen leaves in the wind, and they don't know when they will be blown to the ground. They could only silently pray to God in their hearts, praying that they could break through the positions of those yellow-skinned monkeys earlier, and then teach them a lesson with their sabers in their hands, so that they could know what kind of battle is the real battle.

The face of the commander of the Russian army, Major General Alekev, was already gloomy. Originally, when the field artillery group of the Imperial Army opened fire, he was still able to accept it. However, when the denser mortar group also opened fire, it was seen that the Russian cavalry continued to fall to the ground. The casualties of the Russian army are getting bigger and bigger, and his face is as gloomy as water. However, even by this time, Major General Alekev had not given up. He stubbornly believed that as long as the Russian army could break through the defense line of the Imperial Army, the situation would be reversed at that time. Even if it takes a lot of casualties before that, it's worth it. After the cavalry broke through the lines of the Imperial Army, the brave Cossack cavalry was able to turn the tables.

"Damn, hurry, hurry! Let those yellow-skinned monkeys know that the great Cossack cavalry is invincible. Major General Alekev was already roaring in his heart.

The Russian cavalry, which was being devastated by the fierce firepower of the Imperial Army, also very much hoped to break through to the Imperial Army's defense line as soon as possible. In this way, they will no longer have to face such a powerful firepower. However, the short distance of two kilometers seems so long at this moment, it makes them feel as if they are spending their days like years.

Seeing those fierce Russian cavalry constantly being killed and wounded, the soldiers of the Imperial Army, who were still a little nervous, couldn't help but relax. After all, it seems that there is nothing to fear from the Russians either. After being hit by a shell, it will still be torn to pieces. Then, after being bulleted, he will definitely die.

"Heavy machine gun, ready, fire!" When the Russians approached only 800 meters from the line of defense of the 14th Brigade of the Imperial Army, the commander of the front gave the order to open fire from heavy machine guns. Compared with the previous heavy artillery fire, the dozens of heavy machine guns deployed on the defensive line are the real killer features of the 14th Brigade of the Imperial Army. The intensive firepower of heavy machine guns is the nightmare of the Russian cavalry.

"Dada! Dada! A stiff heavy machine gun let out a low roar. One bullet after another, they shot at the Russian cavalry at a rapid speed.

The Russian cavalry, who were galloping quickly, were as if they had collided with an invisible force, and they were contained. The Russian cavalry fell to the ground in rows, and the wailing of the war horses, as well as the roar of those Russian cavalry before they died, were intertwined.

"Damn! What's going on? How could it be like this? After seeing this, the Russian commander, Major General Alekev, turned pale. The brave Cossack cavalry was rushing towards the position of the yellow-skinned monkeys, but it looked as if they were going to die. They were killed by a dense barrage of bullets and fell to the ground, red blood flowing from their bodies, nourishing the land as if to pay for the sins they had laid down on the land.

The Russian Cossack cavalry, who did not participate in the charge, were equally stunned. The bravery of the Cossack cavalry, no one can question this. They fought and fought without fear of death. However, in such a situation, this kind of scene can no longer be described as a battle, it is a complete massacre. An infantry slaughter of cavalry! The brave Cossack cavalry, at this time, was like a pitiful little white rabbit, wantonly ravaged by the army of the Chinese Empire.

"Ulla! Ulla! "Amid the shouts of the Cossack cavalry, they were still charging the lines of the Imperial Army. However, the final part of the journey seemed to them to be insurmountable. Their charge, in exchange for only leaving a cold corpse on the ground.

"Free fire!"

When the Russian cavalry approached only two or three hundred meters from the Imperial Army's defensive line, the rifles in the hands of the infantry also opened fire.

"Bang! Bang! Bang! A crisp gunshot rang out like fried beans. Constantly Russian cavalry fell to the ground. Compared to the dense heavy machine gun fire, the rifle fire was undoubtedly much more chaotic. However, they have a higher hit rate. In particular, those snipers harvested the lives of those Cossack cavalrymen with accurate marksmanship.

Under the multiple firepower of the Imperial Army, the Russian 15th Cavalry Division suffered heavy losses. They were crippled before they could even rush a hundred meters in front of the line of the 14th Infantry Brigade of the Imperial Army. A large number of horsemen fell to the ground, and the ownerless horses roared on the battlefield or let out the miserable cries of dying before they died.

Even the unstoppable Cossack cavalry, under such a blow, collapsed. Their confidence was shattered, and the remnants of the cavalry began to turn around and flee. (To be continued......)
