Chapter 1151 Cavalry Duel II...

The tactics of the cavalry of the Qing army are very simple, since the formation of the formation, has never made major adjustments, but the tactics are simple and simple, but extremely practical, at the same time, it means that it is quite difficult to crack such simple tactics, at least for the Cossack cavalry with backward equipment, there is no way to make targeted tactical deployment for the Qing army's relying on equipment superiority. (Starter)

The grenade explosions continued in succession, and the shrapnel was still flying in all directions, but the vanguard of the Qing cavalry, which had already killed the approach, ignored the possibility of accidental injury, and rushed into the smoke of gunpowder, rushing forward regardless of it, shouting and rushing towards the Cossack cavalry brigade that was still in chaos.

Kill, there is nothing polite to say, the Qing cavalry brandished a snowy saber, like a knife cut into the Cossack cavalry formation, where they passed, the heads rolled to the ground, but even so, the two wings of the Cossack cavalry that suffered a heavy setback did not flinch slightly, still shouted and desperately forward, and the two wings of the Qing army strangled into a ball, the battle was just beginning, it was already white-hot.

"Order, the artillery will concentrate on bombarding the enemy's middle army, aim at the direction of the handsome flag, and hit Lao Tzu hard!"

Although the left and right flanks are still fighting endlessly, there is no doubt that the Qing army has the upper hand, but He Rong is not satisfied, there is nothing else, the enemy army is still standing still, obviously there is a suspicion of running away, in this regard, He Rongzi does not intend to sit idly by.

"All artillery positions are available, and the four holes in the dense position are ready!"

As soon as he received the order from He Rong, the artillery commander did not dare to slack off in the slightest, quickly glanced at the location of the Cossack commander's flag, and casually reported the accurate secret position.

"Five rapid fire, fire!"

The tactical literacy of the gunners of the Qing army was extremely high, and it only took a few minutes before and after to complete the adjustment of the secret position, and when he saw this, the artillery commander no longer hesitated, waved the small red flag in his hand, and gave the order in a loud voice.

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

With the issuance of the order, the Qing army's forty-eight artillery guns roared again, different from the previous scattering, the targets of this shelling were all concentrated in the enemy's place where the commander's flag was, and in that moment, forty-eight shells pierced the sky one after another, whistling towards the place where the enemy's commander's flag was located, and in an instant the land was blown into a sea of fire, countless shrapnel swept around, and the surrounding area of the commander's banner was shrouded in more than 20 zhang square, and the smoke and fire rose to the sky. It was impossible to see what was inside, but the gunners of the Qing army did not stop at all, nor did they wait for the smoke to dissipate, but they vigorously bombarded the shells one after another into the steaming place.

"Withdraw, withdraw!"

After five rounds of artillery bombardment, the Qing army did not continue to fire, but stopped, not long, the smoke of gunpowder faded, the enemy's army commander flag was already a scorched black mess, the minced meat of men and horses spread all over the ground, its shape was really like hell on earth, at the first sight, because he had not stood under the banner of the commander and escaped the catastrophe of General Markozh Maylo Markozhimayilo couldn't help but shudder, there was no trace of fighting spirit at all, and he didn't care that his left and right wings were still in a bitter battle, pulling the reins of the horse, With a roar, he turned his horse's head and gave the order to retreat with a shout.

"The first brigade outflanked the left flank, the second brigade cut off the enemy's right flank, and the third brigade and the general directly took the enemy's middle army, kill"

General MarkozhimayiloMarkozhimayilo turned around and fled, how could the enemy's central route army, which was already panicked, still have the slightest courage to speak of, all of them turned their horses' heads one after another, and began to flee frantically, as soon as they saw this, He Rongzi refused to let go of such a great opportunity to break the enemy in one fell swoop, but saw that he pulled out the saber on his waist, slashed forward, and gave a series of orders in a loud voice, and then saw that the soldiers in the Qing cavalry army were divided into three ways, and quickly entered the battlefield.

With the Qing cavalry in the middle of the battlefield, the Cossack cavalry completely collapsed, whether it is the middle route army that is frantically turning around and preparing to flee, or the left and right wings that are fighting fiercely with the Qing army, they have lost the courage to fight again, and they all fled backwards in a hurry, and the Qing army after the great victory refused to let go, chasing and killing all the way, shooting and slashing, killing the Cossack cavalry corpses all over the field, and the Cossack cavalry was known as the invincible Cossack cavalry gathered at this time, and there was no longer the slightest bit of majesty, panic like a lost dog.

The Qing army's pursuit was more than five miles away, and the Cossack cavalry was frightened, and when they were about to chase the Cossack cavalry into a corner, the Russian infantry army drove up on the order of Grand Duke Ivan Ivanzhovich Ivanov, and Lieutenant General Andrei Robovsky, the commander of the Russian First Guards Army, led 30,000 soldiers under his command to attack, thinking that the Cossack cavalry was backing.

"Blow the trumpet, let the Cossack cavalry make a detour and assemble behind our formation, and the artillery will be ready to meet the enemy!"

Lieutenant General Andrei Robovsky is a very cautious man, although he led the attack, but did not drive straight in, but stationed troops on the halfway, lined up early to meet the formation, obviously, he was not optimistic about the attack of the Cossack cavalry, the facts also proved this, when he saw the Cossack cavalry in front of the defeat and returned, Lieutenant General Andrei Ropovsky's brows were even a frown, but the order was extremely fast.

"Tick Tick Tick ......"

With the order of Lieutenant General Andrei Robovsky, more than a dozen trumpeters in the Russian infantry phalanx sounded the military horn at the same time, and conveyed the order to the Cossack cavalry who were frantically fleeing.

"Fire!"

As soon as the Cossack cavalry dispersed and fled, the Qing cavalry in hot pursuit, even though they were exposed to the opposite side of the Russian army's phalanx, saw this, the Russian artillery commander did not dare to be careless, and gave the order for artillery bombardment.

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

The artillery now equipped by the Russian army is all the latest howitzers of various types provided by the Kingdom of Great Britain, although the range and power are far less than that of the Qing army, compared with the old artillery of the early Russian army, it has made great progress, even if it is a light howitzer, its range can reach about 900 meters, and the range of heavy artillery is far away to more than 1,300 meters, although the number of artillery equipped by an army is not as good as that of the Qing army, but there are more than 200 guns. In an instant, the galloping Qing army vanguard was enveloped in a sea of fire.

"Withdraw!"

Seeing that the Russian infantry phalanx in front was already in full array, and the Cossack cavalry was trying to reorganize the team behind the infantry army, and lacked heavy weapons to attack the fortifications, He Rongzi was unwilling to take the elite cavalry under his command to take risks, and immediately issued an order to withdraw the troops, so far, a large-scale cavalry duel came to an end, and the Qing army won a great victory, killing nearly 10,000 Cossack cavalry on the spot and capturing more than 3,000 prisoners.

Although the Cossack cavalry did not suffer too much, far from the point of breaking the muscles and bones, but the morale was seriously frustrated, after this battle, it was no longer easy to go out of the camp to meet the battle, and the Qing cavalry did not dare to attack the Russian army's solid offensive force, can only disperse guerrillas, attack and harass the Russian army, in this regard, the Russian army has no choice but to step up the repair of the defense line from Lake Balkhash to Lake Susserkor, in order to block the penetration and harassment of the Qing cavalry, until October 15, after forcibly conscripting a large number of Kazakh herdsmen and soil, In the case of prisoners of war between Kazakhstan and Kazakhstan, the Russian army finally succeeded in building three lines of defense between the two lakes, using various pillboxes as fulcrums, relying on trenches and other fortifications, effectively restricting the activities of the Qing cavalry.

Counting the Ili Frontier Army of the Tashan Division, the total strength of Yue Zhongqi's department has reached more than 225,000 people, and more than 30,000 remnants of the Turkish and Kazakh coalition forces are auxiliary forces, although the total strength is still less than more than 310,000 of the Russian army, but when it comes to weapons and equipment and even tactical literacy, it is obviously above the Russian army, but even so, Yue Zhongqi did not launch a rapid attack, but set up a camp a few miles away from the Russian defense line, and at the same time began to build the defense line. In addition to the border guards who can adapt to fighting in severe cold weather, most of the officers and men of the Sixth and Seventh Group Armies do not have this ability, especially the Seventh Group Army, which has been stationed in relatively warm Chengdu for many years, and its ability to adapt to the severe cold weather is insufficient.

The Qing army did not rush to attack, and the Russian army did not dare to launch an offensive, the two sides almost compared to the race to build fortifications, desperately operating their respective defense lines, until the first day of November, the heavy snow fell, the two armies stopped such crazy repair operations, and each other was in their own barracks, at most, the scouts on both sides were testing each other's reality back and forth, and it was just a little fight, and they couldn't get on the stage at all, and there was no war on the Western Front since then.

At the same time as the stalemate on the Western Front, the Northern Front was also very calm, the Third Army under the command of Keluntai stopped in the Central Siberian Plateau early, and the Russian General Lev Tolsky had already returned to Fort Ufa, and forcibly recruited many refugees who had returned from Central and Eastern Siberia to build various fortifications to guard against the possible attack of the Qing army, so that the war between China and Russia fell into a stalemate stage...... --530+dwruuo+11602036->
