Two close-range close-face salvos completely disrupted the charging formation of the Polish hussars, and a large number of Polish hussars and their horses in front of them had to slow down and detour, there were too many corpses, they couldn't cross the past at all, and even many Polish hussars who didn't have time to react were planted directly on the corpses, and their horses were tripped up......

The distance from which the Taiping army opened fire was so close that the nearest corpse was even less than 10 meters away from the Taiping army's battle line!

However, after all, it was the most elite Polish hussars in the Kingdom of Poland and Lithuania, and this decisive battle was only a partial battle in the eyes of General Menderov, the commander of the Russian Imperial Expeditionary Force, and it would not hurt if it was defeated, but in the eyes of the generals of the Polish main army, it was an opportunity to 'turn over the battle', compared to the Russian Imperial Expeditionary Force, the Polish main force corps can be said to be the old capital of most of it, and it is to take out all the elite Polish hussars!

The Russian aristocratic cavalry on the other side faced a similar situation to the Polish hussars, but the Russian aristocratic cavalry made the choice of retreat as soon as possible after suffering heavy losses from the salvo blow, and the elite musketeers of the two-legged Taiping army could not pursue at all.

However, after the Polish hussars lost their charging speed, they were limited by the corpses, but they threw away their riding guns, took out the flintlock handcuffs they carried with them, and controlled the horses to fire while slowly marching forward!

The slogan 'Long live Great Poland' is even more earth-shattering, supporting the Polish hussars to continue to move forward and forward!

The Polish hussars were not brainless, because from the point of view of the size of the troops, even if they received a huge amount of lethality from the musket salvo, the strength still had a slight advantage, and to destroy the intercepted Taiping troops in front of them, they could completely reorganize their team and rush towards the rear of the main force of the Taiping army on the front line, commonly known as 'bao ju'.

At that time, the victory will still belong to the Kingdom of Poland and Lithuania!

On the other hand, the Russian aristocratic cavalry, they only came to be responsible for the 'support', and they did not have a desperate consciousness, and when the offensive was frustrated and the losses were not small, they naturally had to retreat decisively!

Is it possible to hurt each other with the Taiping Army?

This is not a life-and-death battle to defend the country, why should the Russian noble cavalry sell their lives?

In the eyes of the Poles, they are a just war against foreign invaders, but in the eyes of the Russians, it is just an expansion war to promote Russian chauvinism.

The concept of battle is different, and the combat toughness that erupts is naturally very different!

The Polish hussars were each equipped with two flintlock handcuffs as standard, and although they lost their charging speed, they were so close that even a short flintlock handcuff was enough to shoot their opponents.

All of a sudden, the surviving Polish hussars rode on their horses and thumped endlessly, and the elite musketeers of the Taiping Army who were standing in a row opposite them were suddenly knocked down.

The Polish hussars did not reload on their horses, their approach was simple: they took out a gun and aimed it to pull the trigger, and when they were done, they put it back and pulled out another shot and fired another shot.

Without the time consumption of reloading, in the case of two rounds per person, the Polish hussars shot a large rain of bullets in a short time, and the elite musketeers of the Taiping Army directly opposite suffered a lot of losses.

However, when the Polish hussars finished shooting two guns, drew their sabers and controlled their horses to go up to cut people, the flintlock pistols of the elite musketeers of the Taiping Army were almost loaded, and the flintlock pistols far exceeded the loading speed of the arquebus, which once again gave the Polish hussars a big surprise, and the continuous volleys rang out again, and the Polish hussars who raised their sabers and did not wait to touch the figure fell off their horses like dumplings......

"All of them, get on the bayonet, charge!"

After the volley, the officers of the Taiping Army gave a fanatical order to put on their bayonets, because the Polish hussars on the opposite side still relied on their strong will to fight and continued to rush forward!

At this time, reloading is to die, and the soldiers on both sides can even see the whites of each other's eyes!

"The glory of Greater Poland never falls!"

Under the hoarse shout, the remaining Polish hussars rushed into the crowd of oncoming elite musketeers of the Taiping Army, although the posture of the Taiping infantry counter-charge shocked the Polish hussars, but did not extinguish the hope of victory in their hearts, in hand-to-hand combat, the Polish hussars were not afraid of anyone!

This is the essence of the Polish hussars assembled in Poland proper, who, in the name of justice, are willing to fight until the last moment for the homeland of the Motherland!

The elite musketeers of the Taiping Army, armed with insertive bayonet flintlock pistols, were in a melee with the Polish hussars who were slowly rushing in, the Polish hussars wielding sabers and slashing wantonly, while the elite musketeers of the Taiping Army were charging their arms to defeat the enemy with one blow.

Under the sharp steel bayonet, the knight's armor on the Polish hussars is not ideal, in cold weapon combat, the armor has a good protection effect against sword slashing and bow and crossbow shooting, but the stabbing protection effect of spears and even swords and other weapons is weak, at least, under the strength of the soldiers, even the most sophisticated plate armor is difficult to prevent the stab of the spear.

Even if the missed hand is not pierced, the blunt blow will knock the Polish hussars off their horses and fall to the ground, and the Polish hussars, who will not be able to get up for a while and a half, will naturally become lambs to the slaughter, and will be stabbed into the vital parts with little protection by the elite soldiers of the Taiping Army with a bayonet.

The melee of the evenly matched became the main theme on the battlefield, with the strength of the Polish hussars, they naturally had an advantage, but unfortunately, they encountered the elite of the loyal Taiping army who would not retreat if they did not fight to the last man!

On the other side, the elite musketeers of the Taiping Army, who repelled the cavalry of the Russian nobility, suffered minimal losses, and after the Russian noble cavalry fled without a trace, only one battalion of troops was left on guard, and the remaining four battalions all rushed to the battlefield of the Polish hussars, which had been sharply reduced in number.

The elite musketeers of the Taiping Army regard death as if they were at home, which is incomparable to anyone, but their hand-to-hand combat effectiveness is only equivalent to the level of veterans of the regular army, compared with the Polish hussars who have honed their knightly martial arts skills since childhood, the gap is not ordinarily large, even if the Polish hussars dismount and walk, they can also fight two elite musketeers of the Taiping Army, among them, one can fight three elite musketeers of the Taiping Army.

Therefore, in hand-to-hand combat with a comparable number of people, it was only a matter of time before this crippled Taiping Legion-level unit was completely annihilated, but fortunately, the reinforcements of the four battalions of Taiping elite musketeers broke the last trace of hope of victory for the Polish hussars!
