258 Replenishment of the Cossack cavalry

"Assman Chief, our men are almost overwhelmed, send cavalry to support! Otherwise, thousands of Cossack warriors would all have folded here! ”

Several Hetman leaders rushed into Surrey in a cold sweat. Assman's tent wailed.

They never dreamed that the difference in combat effectiveness between themselves and a group of 'remnants of the Russian Empire' would be so big!

The Russians did not even send out the elite noble cavalry, and the artillery was exhausted in the previous combat effectiveness and had long been destroyed.

The previous contempt and self-confidence were torn apart in this battle, and the tribal armament was really not enough in front of the real imperial regular army......

By analogy, how strong will the Taiping Army, which can chase the regular army of the Russian Empire like a 'rabbit', be?

Unconsciously, the Cossacks who admired the strong felt a heartfelt rejoicing in their alliance with the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, and being an ally with such a powerful force was a hundred times stronger than being an enemy!

At the same time, it also made those Cossack and hetman leaders understand that even if they founded a country, they would only be a third-rate weak country in the land of Europe.

Surrey with his eyes closed. A fine light flashed between Assman's eyes opened and closed, and he sighed helplessly in his heart: "This group of Cossack barbarians is still too weak after all, and as soon as the cavalry comes out, they no longer have the energy to intercept the Russian noble cavalry behind, so they can only watch them run away......"

There was only one way left in front of Assman, send all the Cossack cavalry to rescue the main Cossack corps, otherwise in the event of defeat, only a few Cossack cavalry and Sari. Assman's own personal guards were simply unable to stop the defeated tens of thousands of Russian corps, and they also made way for them.

At the very least, sending Cossack cavalry to repel this general attack of the Russian corps would leave the short-legged Russian infantry group on the ground.

"Send out your troops, send all your cavalry, and in any case, hold our line and drive the Russians back to their camp."

Get Surrey. The hetman chiefs of the Assman warrant were overjoyed, and the warriors of the tribe who could become the Cossack cavalry, coupled with the superior momentum of the cavalry battle, in this kind of melee, the hetman was confident that he would regain the initiative in the battle.

At the time of the Cossack cavalry transfer, General Menderov had already left the battlefield with the noble officer corps and a large number of Russian noble cavalry.

Perhaps, the addition of the cavalry of the Russian nobility could completely defeat the Cossacks, but even then what was the point?

The Cossacks behaved, although not badly, but they were not muddy, and the Russians were running out of time.

Instead of going to be frightened and ready to guard against the emergence of the vanguard of the Taiping Army behind, it is better to safely lose the car and leave ahead of time with the essence of the noble cavalry.

In the hustle and bustle of the Russian aristocratic cavalry, the Cossack cavalry divided into several groups from different directions, like sharp knives, and fiercely inserted into the Russian infantry group that was constantly rushing forward to slaughter the Cossack soldiers, instantly disrupting the battle rhythm of the Russian infantry and pulling the occupation back into the melee stage.

After seeing their own cavalry join the occupation, the morale of the Cossack warriors was restored to a certain extent, and they chanted Cossack battle slogans, gradually slaughtering the advancing Russian infantry and pressing the battle line back steadily!

Although the battle situation was unfavorable to the Russian infantry, the Russian infantry, under the desire to survive the breakthrough, broke out with extraordinary combat perseverance and still did not suffer a rout.

However, it did not take long for the news of the withdrawal of the upper officer corps of the Russian Imperial Expeditionary Force, together with thousands of Russian noble cavalry, with heavy baggage, to the infantry officer ranks who were directing the battle on the battlefield.

The Russian infantry officer who received the news was shocked, and after only a slight hesitation, he left the battle with his guards, an act that immediately triggered a domino effect.

The guards on duty behaved in the same way, and were seen by the Russian soldiers not far away, so they also fled, and in this way, the scale of the rout became larger and larger, coupled with the Cossack cavalry's left and right rush, it took less than half an hour from the news to the complete rout!

The rout of the Russian infantry was massacred by the Cossack cavalry, which was what they were best at!

Of course, the rout of the Russian infantry was not meaningless, at least, they bought a lot of time for the fleeing Russian noble cavalry, and the large number of fleeing infantry distracted all the Cossacks' energy, blocked the roads, captured prisoners and looted camps and plundered the booty, so that the Cossacks had no time to care, and naturally could not continue the interception mission.

General Menderov's plan to lose his car and protect the commander went very smoothly, and from beginning to end the Russian noble cavalry did not encounter any battles.

After a day and a night, the vanguard of the Taiping army arrived in this area, and ironically, until the arrival of the Taiping vanguard, the Cossacks were still taking prisoners (slaves) and looting supplies like rabbits. Outside of Asman's tent, there was no order anywhere else.

There were even a few scattered Cossack fighters, because they did not know the flag of the Taiping army, launched an attack on the small group of scouts who were exploring the way of the Taiping army's vanguard, and then ...... And then there is no more......

The Cossack hetman chiefs would not be held accountable for such an inevitable mishap, because they knew their place very well!

Even a group of Russian troops who were in a hurry to run away almost defeated them, not to mention the main force of the Taiping Army, which was more powerful and chased by the Russian Imperial Expeditionary Force.

After that battle, the Cossack warriors at the bottom may feel that their troops are very capable of fighting, but the Cossack hetman leaders at the top still have a lot of pressure in their hearts.

The arrival of the vanguard of the Taiping army was very good to 'help' the Cossacks to stabilize the order of the battlefield. Assman personally received the regimental high-ranking officials of the Taiping Army, and of course, all this was done for the Cossack hetman chiefs.

As for the reception of the Heavenly King Hong Tiancheng, it was impossible, for the simple reason that the great chieftain of the Cossack tribes did not have that qualification, and in the same way, the tsar of the Russian Empire could not have received Surrey. For a figure like Assman, the tsar and the king would rather receive the exiled Grand Duke of Lithuania than the reckless king with no status.

The European continent attached great importance to the noble bloodline.

Surrey. On behalf of the Cossack tribes, in order to express the incompleteness of the interception mission, Assman handed over the main force of the Cossack cavalry to help the Taiping army continue to pursue the remnants of the Russian Imperial Expeditionary Force.

Although these Cossack cavalry stayed at the level of nomadic cavalry, their mobility was a great complement to the Taiping army with full infantry.
