Chapter 1587: Decisive Battle of Kazan (8)
The elite cavalry of the Ming army drove the Rakshasa army out for forty or fifty-five miles, and if they wanted to run back to Kazan City, where was it so easy?
Piskov managed to rein in the army, it was already completely dark, and the routs were constantly converging towards the main force, and by the time they were almost closed, it was already late at night.
When it came out, 30,000 people, in one day, now the number of troops is directly reduced by more than half, there are only more than 10,000, 8,000 Cossack soldiers, almost all of them are reimbursed, even the cavalry commander is dead, and the Rakshasa army is defeated miserably!
"That's pretty much it, Piskov, there won't be any more routs......"
Asjovic said in a slumber voice.
"Since there is no more, then we will immediately return to Kazan City!"
Piskov said in a deep voice.
"What, return to Kazan now?"
Asjovic was taken aback, and said urgently: "Piskov, now that the army is newly defeated, more than 10,000 soldiers are almost all wounded, it is the time to need time to repair, now return to Kazan City, if we meet the Ming army head-on, then we will be miserable, and if we don't do it, we will be wiped out!" ”
"Even if the whole army is annihilated, we must rush back to Kazan!"
Piskov shouted: "Asjovich, as long as the city of Kazan is still in the hands of our Russian Empire, the Ming army will not have a stable foothold, from Tyumen to Kazan, more than a thousand miles, and there is not much population in Tyumen City, their food and grass supply is not available, after a long time, they will definitely be withdrawn, but once the city of Kazan is lost, it will be different, the food in Kazan City is enough for them to eat for at least half a year, and when the time comes, they will take root and threaten the hinterland of the Russian Empire at any time, Even Moscow will become in crisis! ”
Asjovich was shocked, what Pyskov said was that once the city of Kazan was lost, it would not be a simple defeat, but that the Ming army had gained a firm foothold here, and could launch an attack on the Russian hinterland at any time, and even a surprise attack on Moscow! In that case, the Russian Empire will be extremely passive!
Asjovich nodded and said: "You are right, you must return to Kazan City, and you must not let Kazan City fall into the hands of the Ming army!" ”
The two men gathered the remnants of the defeated army, did not make any repairs, and rushed in the direction of Kazan again.
When they acted, the Ming army had already besieged Kazan City for more than two hours, and now the artillery of the Rakshasa Legion has all turned the muzzle, becoming the Ming army's magic weapon for attacking the city, these solid bullets, maybe attacking the cavalry, do not have much power, but the attack on Kazan City is different, one after another shells smashed on the city wall, but the city wall showed craters!
Of course, this is not the most worrying for the people in Kazan City, the most fatal is the rocket battalion rockets, these rockets continue to shoot into the city, fire prevention everywhere, the city is either a stone house, or a wooden structure of the house, some are even directly the Mongolian Yurt, the stone house is good to say, not afraid of fire, but the wooden house is not the same as the yurt, the rocket falls on it, the instant is a raging fire, gunpowder smoke everywhere, the whole Kazan City is a mess, Now that only a few hundred infantry are left in the city to defend the city, what are you doing with such a few people? It's not enough to stuff people's teeth in front of the Ming army!
Feints from the east, west, and north, and to the south, the army of 6,000 Beijing battalions began to attack, and a group of cavalry launched a direct charge!
The Rakshasa defenders are already frightened, besieging the city on all sides, the main force of the Rakshasa army has disappeared so far, how can this battle be fought? Run! Run away, if you don't leave, I'm afraid you'll all die in the city!
The Rakshasa army that stayed behind only lasted less than three hours, and then collapsed directly, fled from the battle, the gate of Kazan City was opened, and a group of cavalry rushed into Kazan City, and almost bloodless control Kazan City!
By the time Piskov returned to Kazan City, it was already the eve of dawn, and there were still pieces of bomb craters on the city's head, and the gunpowder smoke in the city had not completely dispersed, but the flag of the Rakshasa Kingdom on the city had been cut down, and the Yellow Dragon Banner of the Ming Dynasty had been raised!
Yes......
Piskov's eyes were black, and he went straight down from the war horse, deceiving people too much, just looking at the craters, you can understand that the Ming army smashed open the gate of Kazan City with the captured artillery, and Kazan City fell after all!
"General, General!"
The soldiers around him hurriedly subdued Piskov and shouted eagerly.
Piskov shouted sharply: "Immediately send an order, the whole army is ready, immediately attack the city, and attack the city with all your might!" ”
Besiege? So what siege? Now the Rakshasa army doesn't even have a single artillery, and even a lot of musket bullets have been lost, it is completely a routed army, and attacking the tall city of Kazan like this is undoubtedly a pipe dream!
"Piskov, no, you must not attack the city now, you can't attack the city......"
Asjovic on the side hurriedly stopped: "We have just suffered a defeat now, our morale is low, we lack artillery, and we don't even have many musket bullets, so attacking the city like this, isn't it sending us to death?" Sending you to death in vain won't help......"
"Can't you just quit like this? Where do we retreat? Even Kazan is lost, His Majesty the Tsar will not bypass us! ”
Piskov roared.
"If you can't spare us, we must not attack the city! Otherwise, all of our remaining more than 10,000 people will be buried in the city, withdraw the troops, temporarily withdraw the troops and then make plans, now it is important to preserve the strength, you know, now the Rakshasa country has not many elite troops, do you want to say that all the elites of the Rakshasa country are put in? ”
Asjovic shouted, "Withdraw your troops immediately!" ”
Piskov was full of anger, but he could only hold this breath in his heart, attacking Kazan City, just talking, Asjovic was right, attacking the city now, that is, sending him to death, that's it, just withdraw his troops, if he continues to fight, there is no possibility of winning......
However, they don't want to attack the city, and the Ming army doesn't plan to let them go like this!
As soon as the Rakshasa Legion came to the city of Kazan, Qin Mufeng and Song Jiaxing got the news.
"It's a good time, just in time to serve this Rakshasa legion!"
Qin Mufeng shouted coldly, "Jiaxing, you are in the city, I will personally lead the army to battle, I must wipe them out!" Order, the first and second towns of the elite cavalry assembled, ready to attack! ”
Qin Mufeng gave an order, and thousands of elite horsemen gathered again, killed them from the southern city, and went straight to the Rakshasa army outside the city!
The Rakshasa Legion had just turned around at this time, preparing to retreat, but I didn't expect that the Ming army's elite cavalry came out, and they were so frightened that their souls flew away, I dropped God, it's going to be fatal, how can this group of Ming troops be bigger, I don't want to fight......
