257 Rightfully sophistication

Between the undulating hills, dotted with loose bushes, groups of men dressed in Cossack village uniforms and wearing Cossack fur caps with various weapons gathered in a long snake formation with a wide cross-section and a shallow depth, and looked fixedly at the crowd in the distance who were slowly moving towards them.

The endless flow of Russian soldiers, the barrels of muskets in patches, caused quite a stir among the Cossack fighters.

Quite a few began to regret their participation in what was said to be a 'feast of robbery'......

"Oh my God, the Russians on the other side seem to be more numerous than we are, why should we fight them?"

A thin Cossack soldier standing in the front row with a wide view complained with a shocked face.

"The Russians are against it in order to build our own country, so we have to come and fight their army."

Jester, who was blank on the side, replied.

"How do you know? I've heard that the Russians' generals have always agreed that we should build a state. ”

Pars looked at Jester in disbelief.

"Because that's what the Hetman chief said."

"Damn! Well, we can't argue with the leader, but I don't want to die in this must-lose battle! ”

Pars glanced around, as if looking for the best escape route after the battle began, being a prisoner was not a good choice in this era, there was no Red Cross in the 17th century, and there was no so-called humanitarianism, and being a prisoner on the battlefield was either killed by red-eyed enemy soldiers or sold as slaves, working until death!

Perhaps the countries of Central and Western Europe would be more gentlemanly, but in the barbaric part of Eastern Europe, the slave trade was very prosperous because of the Crimeans relations, and the chances of not being sold as slaves were too small and too small.

Jester looked at Pars with an indifferent expression, and said in a wooden voice, "The Hetman leader said that we can win. ”

"Hehe, Jester, the head of the Hetman also said that his is delicious! I really don't understand, how can a person like you become a heroic Cossack warrior! ”

"Pars, you lied, the leader didn't say this, otherwise I would have tasted it, and the reason why I am standing here is because I am more loyal than you, so I am proud!"

"You ......"

"Be ready to fight, don't make a loud noise!" Before Pars could refute, the officer's order came, stifling Pales' words back.

Pars glanced at the officers patrolling not far away, turned his head and whispered in Jester's ear: "Lao Tzu wishes you to be loyal to death in this battle!" ”

Jester replied with a calm face, "Thank you for your blessings, but I think it's better for me to watch you fight to the death, I hate unfaithful people." ”

"Oh well, brother, you win, let's fight together for our great Lord of Asman and the kingdom of the free!" After a moment of silence, Pals shifted and raised his sword.

At the same time, other Cossack fighters, in order to relieve their tension before the battle, also shouted passionate slogans in their own way.

Jester didn't say a word, but as usual, he looked away from Pars, who was shouting a loud 'noise', and carefully put the finishing touch on his musket before the battle, and it was important to him that he made sure that it would not be dud or blown up when it fired!

As time passed, large groups of Russian infantry finally moved beyond the effective range of muskets, and after the junior officers leading the team in the front shouted a few 'slogans' that the Cossacks could not understand, the entire Russian corps launched a final charge with a shout of 'Ula' that was louder than one!

At a distance of 100 meters, the Russian strong man with enough endurance and durability crossed it.

The Russian infantry first jogged into the maximum range of the musket, then slammed the trigger piecemeal, and then, getting faster and faster, knew that from jogging to short sprints!

On the other hand, the 'battle line' on the side of the Cossack warriors was the same as scattered free fire, even the most skilled musketeers, only two shots, after the shooting, when the enemy approached a distance of ten meters, the officers gave an order, led the charge and led everyone to draw all kinds of cold weapons and kill them!

Except for the free firing of muskets before engaging the enemy, the mode of combat is no different from that of the Middle Ages, except that there are more people, the military organization is better, and the morale is a little higher.

In this kind of battlefield of tens of thousands of people, personal bravery has become insignificant, and there is not much room to move and dodge, even if it is a timid soldier, he will not dare to escape at this moment, because the soldiers behind will definitely trample the weak 'retrograde' to death!

The clanging sound of blades and the sound of terrible meat cutting came and went, and after they collided together, they brought up pieces of blood at the same time, and the soldiers on both sides also began to infiltrate each other under the momentum, and even died!

The battle between the Cossack warriors and the Russian infantry was much more intense than the exchange of muskets, with all kinds of stumps flying and severed arms, and gushing blood pouring everywhere like rain, but the scene was so tragic that the speed of death could not even keep up with the tail of the line of shots......

For a queue of thousands of corpses in one minute, Cossack soldiers and Russian infantry fighting for half an hour may not be able to kill thousands of people......

Many soldiers are killed because they have been fighting for too long and are exhausted and lose their ability to resist!

After slashing the second enemy to death in Pals's rough clothes, he turned around and saw Jester's body cut in two not far away, and shouted at the top of his voice as if he were laughing and crying, and had to slash at another enemy who pounced on him.

After fighting like this for nearly an hour, the Cossack fighters were gradually compressed into battle space due to factors such as numbers, morale, and equipment, and kept retreating.

These main Russian infantry themselves are the regular army of the Russian Empire, even if they are mixed with a large number of recruits, they are also militarily trained, plus before the battle, in order to boost morale, the Russian officers hyped up the Cossack warriors blocking their 'escape' path, and publicized this battle as a battle for survival to escape, and the Russian infantry naturally desperately killed the enemy to break through!

Perhaps in the face of the Taiping army, which has a reputation for killing and wounding several times the enemy with only a thousand soldiers, this group of Russian infantry will be cowardly and timid.

But in the face of a group of Cossack fighters who can only be regarded as non-mainstream rebels in their eyes, these Russian regular army infantry will naturally not flinch.

Add to this the superiority in weapons and numbers, and victory becomes a matter of course.
