On the seventh day of the ninth month of the third year of Renhe, the Qing army relied on strong firepower to throw. Shooting ability, within one day to conquer the Bratsk Castle, known as the first heroic city in Eastern Siberia, completely annihilated more than 40,000 Russian officers and soldiers stationed in the fortress line, but did not drive straight into the hinterland of the Russian army, but divided the route, swept through many Russian settlements in Eastern Siberia, destroyed their towns, and drove all the Russians all the way to the west, while the Third Army followed unhurriedly, everywhere it went, with the fundamental purpose of destroying Russian settlements, and by mid-October, it had taken control of all the eastern, central and western Siberias. Immediately stationed in Krasnoyarsk, on the Central Siberian Plateau, there was nothing else, and winter was approaching, and the bitter cold weather was no longer suitable for further marches.

On the ninth day of the ninth month of the third year of Renhe, the main group of the Russian army stationed in Akdouka was discussed by many parties, and finally decided that General Levtolsky led 20,000 Cossack cavalry and 40,000 infantry to rush to the aid of the Bratsk Castle. The facts about the fall of the castle of Bratsk were informed of Grand Duke Ivan Ivanzovich Ivanov and Peter II in St. Petersburg.

On September 18, the third year of Renhe, Grand Duke Ivan Ivanovich Ivanov received an urgent letter sent by General Levtolsky, and immediately panicked, while complaining to Peter II, he convened the generals to discuss and expressed the idea of retiring the army, but the discussion had not yet been decided, and more than 30,000 cavalry troops under the Qing army Yue Zhongqi had rushed to the front line of Akdouka, facing the maneuver. The Qing army's forward army, Grand Duke Ivan Ivanovich Ivanov, did not dare to retreat easily, and sent more than 65,000 Cossack cavalry to fight against the Qing army's more than 32,000 cavalry, trying to repel the Qing cavalry first, and then retreat.

On September 20 of the third year of Renhe, the commander of the Cossack corps, General Markozhimayilo, led more than 65,000 Cossack cavalry to 'advance', intending to fight a decisive battle with the Qing cavalry. Download the full collection of txt

Cowardice? Naturally impossible! As a veteran who participated in the battles of the Eastern Expedition to the East and the Western Expedition to Dzungaria, He Rong is not a coward, the reason why he retreated before was just to lure the Cossack cavalry out to fight, just as Grand Duke Ivan Ivanovich Ivanov wanted to defeat the Qing cavalry first to ensure the smooth retreat of the Russian army, and He Rong also wanted to defeat the Cossack cavalry of the Russian army first, so as to delay the retreat of the Russian army, so as to buy time for the arrival of his main group.

At the last moment, the rapidly retreating Qing cavalry finally stopped, and quickly lined up in the open grassland to meet the enemy, 48 'guns' light artillery was efficiently untied from the four-horse-drawn cart by the gunners, lined up in front of the formation, and more than 11,000 cavalry divisions of the Sixth Group Army of Herong's department were in the center, more than 11,000 cavalry troops of the Seventh Group Army of Guan Mingfu's department were on the right, and on the left was more than 9,500 frontier cavalry troops led by Ta Haining, the son of General Ili Tashan.

"Herald: All the troops stop, line up! The 3rd and 4th armies were on the left, the 5th and 6th armies were on the right, and the 1st and 2nd armies were in the center with General Ben! ”

Seeing that the Qing army was already in full array, General Markozhimayilo, who was in a hurry, did not dare to rush straight to the Qing army's main formation in such a chaotic manner, and when there was still a mile and a half away from the Qing army's cavalry array, he had already ordered to strangle the Cossack cavalry that was rushing forward, and ordered one after another, and more than 65,000 Cossack cavalry also discharged three major phalanxes, separated by a distance of about 600 meters, corresponding to the Qing army.

With the support of many Western powers such as the Kingdom of Great Britain, the Russian army has now completed the rearmament, but the change is more in the equipment of the infantry, as for the Cossack cavalry, in addition to replacing the arquebus with a rear-loading smoothbore gun, the rest of the equipment is unchanged, neither artillery support, nor equipped with pistols, some are still spears and sabers, generally speaking, the spear cavalry and the saber cavalry account for half each, as for the Qing army, the change in equipment is not big, and the individual weapons have hardly changed, or riding spears and sabers, revolvers and grenades, the real change is that in the support firepower of the forty-eight 'doors' light guns are a new research and development of rapid-fire 'fire' guns, the barrel is light and thin, made of tungsten steel tubes, the weight is only half of the old artillery, but the durability and 'fire' rate is more than two old-style guns, the design 'fire' rate is four shells a minute, each integrated shell weighs 18 catties, the warhead is conical, and the yellow 'color' is 'fried' inside Medicine' and preset bursting discs, extremely lethal, once landed, the effective killing can cover a radius of four zhang, the effective "shooting" range is up to 1,200 meters away, and then there is the equipment of the machine gun is also the latest model of the product, to solve the earlier machine gun easy to jam and difficult to do the defects of point "shooting", the magazine load is as high as 40 rounds, the lethality is amazing.

"Order: Artillery fire is urgent, blow up the old 'Mao'!"

The two armies confronted each other quietly, except for the occasional snort of the horses, there was no sound, obviously, neither side wanted to take the lead in attacking, and were waiting for the other party to change formations when 'exposed' flaws, in this regard, the Russian army was obviously very patient, but He Rong didn't want to wait any longer, there was no other, although there was a distance of more than seven miles from the Russian army camp, but after all, it was not too far, if the battle was really a stalemate, old' Mao's reinforcements may arrive at any time, and He Rong didn't want to miss such a great opportunity to destroy the mobile forces of the Russian army, but when he saw that he raised his hand, he had already given a cold order.

"Boom, boom, boom......"

The Qing army's 48 'guns' were naturally not good-looking, and with Herong's order, all the gunners quickly followed the artillery commander's order, quickly adjusted the 'shooting' position, and unceremoniously bombarded the Russian cavalry formation, and the violent explosions instantly resounded one after another on the Russian cavalry position, and countless shrapnel swept in all directions, instantly beating the Russian cavalry into a big 'chaos'.

"Order: Strike on the left and right flanks immediately!"

As soon as the Qing army opened fire, General Markozhimayilo Markozhimayilo could no longer hold his breath, no side, the Russian Cossack cavalry did not have an artillery establishment, so it was naturally impossible to make a corresponding counterattack to the artillery bombardment of the Qing army, to such a point now, if you don't launch a strong attack, this battle will not have to be fought again, but General Markozhimayilo Markozhimaylo still has a little more mind, and did not attack all the members, but only let the two wings kill first, to see if you can impulse the Qing army's position, As for whether the troops of the middle route army led by him did not move, it was obvious that he wanted to flee when he saw that the situation was not good.

"Ulla, Ulla......"

The Cossack cavalry has always been known for its barbarism in Europe, and it is not lacking in blood and bravery, although it was quite panicked and 'chaotic' by the Qing army's artillery attack, but once the attack order was given, the Cossack cavalry on the left and right flanks did not hesitate at all, and rushed up with a roar.

"Raise your gun, aim!"

In the face of the Cossack cavalry brigade surging on the left and right flanks, the Qing soldiers did not have the slightest panic, and with the orders of the commanders at all levels, they quickly leveled the cavalry guns in their hands, and the muzzles of rows of black "holes" and "holes" were aimed straight at the Cossack cavalry vanguard.

"Fire!"

Just when the vanguard of the Cossack cavalry, which was rushing like a tide, had already rushed to less than 250 meters away from the Qing cavalry position, Guan Mingfu, the main general of the right wing of the Qing army, and Ta Haining, the main general of the left wing, issued an order to 'shoot' at the same time.

"Da ......, Bang Bang Bang ......,......"

The two commanders gave the order, the machine gunners took the lead in starting the 'shooting' attack, and then the artillerymen also adjusted their secret positions, giving priority to bombarding the enemy cavalry on both flanks, followed by the platoon guns of the cavalry officers and soldiers 'chaotic' and 'shooting', and the dense bullets covered the Cossack cavalry vanguard that rushed wildly like a torrential rain, and in an instant, the rows of Cossack cavalry were swept to the ground like cutting rice.

"Knife out, follow me, kill the thief, kill the thief, kill the thief!"

The Cossack cavalry was really brave, although the forward troops were almost swept away by the dense fire of the Qing army, but the follow-up cavalry still rushed forward regardless of it, as soon as he saw this, Guan Mingfu did not dare to slack off, but saw that he 'drawn' the saber on his waist, roared, and led his troops to launch a fierce counter-charge, at the same time, Ta Haining, who was slightly behind half a beat, also made the same choice, and the cavalry on both wings of the Qing army attacked together, surging forward like a 'tide'.

"Bomb dropping!"

Closer, closer, there was only a distance of less than three hundred meters between the two armies, in terms of the galloping war horse, it was just a matter of time, with the full sprint of the two armies, this distance was also rapidly shortening, in the blink of an eye, the distance between the two armies was less than fifty meters, with a loud roar, the Qing soldiers in the front row raised their hands almost at the same time, and threw out the long-handled grenade buckled in their left hand with a brush, and with the momentum of the horse, nearly a thousand grenades were smashed towards the Cossack cavalry forward. At that moment, the explosion suddenly sounded, and the Cossack cavalry, who was caught off guard, was unsurprisingly dealt another heavy blow, and the momentum of the charge was inevitably suffocated......
