Chapter 1580: The Decisive Battle of Kazan (1)

In fact, without the order of Tsar Mikhailovich, the current Piskov has already begun to be deployed.

Piskov now has about 30,000 elite troops, however, these 30,000 elite troops can no longer be called the most elite combat power of the Rakshasa country, for no other reason, almost all the field artillery was transferred by Cherkov, all buried in Mobei, the remaining muskets are also arquebus-based backward guns, in the face of 20,000 elite Ming troops, he has no certainty of victory, but if he takes the initiative to attack, while the Ming army is tired, fight a blitzkrieg, maybe there is still a chance.

Piskov said he would do it, and almost all the troops were pulled out of Kazan City, after all, it was nearly 30,000 troops, half more than the elite of the Ming army, and there were more than 20 artillery pieces, Piskov was confident that he could be on a high level with the elite cavalry of the Ming army!

The news of Kazan City's dispatch of troops was soon sent back by the scouts sent by Qin Mufeng and Song Jiaxing.

"Mu Feng, how are you going to fight this battle?"

Song Jiaxing asked in a deep voice.

"Well, the other side has 8,000 Cossack cavalry, and 20,000 infantry, the strength is really not weak, and there are dozens of artillery, I didn't expect that the Rakshasa country suffered a fiasco last time, and it was really a bit unexpected for us to be able to gather such a powerful force......

Qin Mufeng said in a deep voice.

Song Jiaxing replied: "It's normal, the last time the Mobei was unified, the emperor once said that the most important thing in the Rakshasa country is the source of soldiers, the Rakshasa country is located in a remote area, the climate is cold, the living environment is extremely harsh, all of them are strong and strong, as long as they are trained for a period of time, these people can become opponents who are not weak in combat power, we want to easily defeat the opponent, but it is not so easy, not to mention that they also have artillery, but we only have cavalry and rocket battalions, this battle, we have a sixty percent chance of winning......"

Qin Mufeng glanced at Song Jiaxing and replied: "Seventy percent, at least seventy percent of the chance, I, Qin Mufeng, have always sought wealth and danger, the more exciting it is, the more enjoyable it will be!" We just need to deal with their artillery, and everything will be solved! ”

"Solve the artillery?"

Song Jiaxing smiled bitterly: "How to solve it?" This is the territory of the Rakshasa country, we are not familiar with the geography, we are tired from afar, the logistics supply is inconvenient, and we have been subject to multiple restrictions......"

"Therefore, a quick battle is the means we must take, and the Rakshasa Army takes the initiative to fight, which is exactly what we want!"

Qin Mufeng sneered, "Isn't it just more than two dozen artillery, maybe we don't have the means to deal with it!" Tomorrow the war, I will lead 10,000 elite cavalry to fight, first test the opponent's combat strength, presumably as soon as the Rakshasa army comes up, they will first launch their most relied on artillery bombardment, you lead the rocket battalion to fight them on the flank of a surprise attack, with rockets to suppress the fire of the Rakshasa Legion artillery, and the elite will be led by the Vulture Sai to attack their flanks......"

Qin Mufeng and Song Jiaxing discussed for most of the night, but if you really want to divide the superiority, it still depends on tomorrow's battle.

The next morning, sure enough, the two sides began to attack.

However, Piskov was even more anxious than Qin Mufeng, and even launched an attack directly, and all the eight thousand elite cavalry pressed up and rushed towards the elite cavalry of the Ming army.

Piskov just wanted to wait for work, and with the powerful assault ability of the Cossack cavalry, he would teach the Ming army a cruel lesson as soon as he came up!

However, this is indeed in the arms of Qin Mufeng and Song Jiaxing, the two of them are most afraid of the Rakshasa Army to defend instead of attacking, in that case, the infantry stands still, the cavalry echoes on the side, and the artillery is to carry out long-range strikes, and the Ming army's elite cavalry wants to tear through the defense line of the Rakshasa Army, but it is not so easy.

But Piskov was too anxious, and as soon as he came up, he took the lead in attacking, so Qin Mufeng and Song Jiaxing naturally laughed at Pitskov's gift!

"Rocket battalion, prepare for the attack! Hit me with aim! ”

Song Jiaxing shouted in the middle of the formation, and at the sound of an order, dozens of rockets flew up from the air with a sharp whistling and rushed straight towards the camp of the Cossack cavalry.

When Adrian returned to Kazan City, he once emphasized that the Ming army's rockets were huge, and they were the natural nemesis of the cavalry, and they originally thought that the Ming cavalry would advance and would not carry heavy weapons such as artillery or rockets, but they didn't expect that they really brought it, and it was dozens of rockets as soon as they shot, and the Cossack cavalry was going to suffer!!

Sure enough, as soon as the shot was two consecutive waves of rocket attacks, hundreds of rockets fell on the battlefield, and a group of war was ignited in the array of Cossack cavalry, and the smoke of gunpowder was everywhere, the formation of the Cossack cavalry was disrupted, the speed of the assault was curbed, and there were many unlucky cavalry who could not contain the momentum of the charge, and plunged into the fire, and were even directly hit by the rocket, and a fireball around the city, scurrying around, frightening the other cavalry to dodge in a panic, if it was stained, it would be unlucky......

"Order, move the artillery position forward immediately, prepare to launch an artillery bombardment, aim at their rocket positions for me, and attack with all your might!"

Piskov yelled angrily.

In order to protect the infantry phalanx from being assaulted by the Ming cavalry, Piskov put the artillery position at the rear, which was a mistake, and now the artillery position is more than four miles away from the Ming cavalry position, and more than five miles away from the Ming army's rocket position, five miles, this is almost the maximum range of the Russian artillery, such a long distance, there is no accuracy at all, can the shells hit the Ming army's rocket position, two to say, Piskov had to move the artillery position!

Fortunately, the Ming army only released three waves of attacks before stopping.

The Cossack cavalry also rushed through the coverage area of the rockets and continued to launch a surprise attack towards the front line of the Ming army's elite cavalry, and thousands of Cossack cavalry were fierce and powerful!

"Order, front row cavalry, prepare to shoot in turns, get on the muskets!"

Song Jiaxing shouted in a deep voice, at this time, the Ming army still did not charge, but let the two rows of cavalry in the front row start to shoot in turn!

At this moment, the Cossack cavalry was still five hundred paces away, and by the time the elite cavalry of the Ming army took off their muskets and raised their guns to aim, the Cossack cavalry had already rushed into the distance of five hundred paces and four hundred paces away!

Bang bang bang......

The muskets rang out intensively, and the two thousand elite horsemen at the front came up in turns, and in the blink of an eye, four waves of bullets came out of the chamber, enveloping the Cossack cavalry!

At a distance of 400 paces, the elite cavalry of the Ming army opened fire directly, which was completely unexpected by the Cossack cavalry, and the Cossack cavalry who rushed to the front fell off their horses one after another, and in the blink of an eye, hundreds of cavalry died tragically on the spot!
