730 [Swatting Flies]
Yegor's face changed drastically, and he shouted in panic: "Run! ”
In the whole of Siberia, the number of Cossacks, absolutely more than hundreds. Seventy years ago, the first Cossacks to enter Siberia numbered more than 840 people.
Those who could not get along in Tsarist Russia, Poland, and Lithuania came to the East to explore. Over the past few decades, there have been at least thousands, if not more than 10,000 people, but many have frozen, starved, and been beaten to death.
But here is the Heilongjiang River basin, where there are only two or three hundred Cossacks (including the servant army).
Moreover, they use boats as a means of transportation. Even if he made a fortune in the past two years, he only got more than 30 Mongolian horses, so the cavalry outside the village would definitely be the enemy.
There was no need for Yegor to remind them that the rest of the Cossack robbers had already rushed out of the village diagonally ahead.
The Cossacks were not warriors, they were all robbers.
Since he is a robber, he must be focused on saving his life. Not to mention encountering a large force of cavalry, even if they encounter a few hundred elite natives, how fast and fast these guys will run.
"Outflank!"
Luo Yanggui, who came with the troops, divided the troops before entering the village.
Three hundred Datong cavalry, quickly divided into three teams. One team went around to the east of the village, one team went around to the west of the village, and the other team was led by Luo Yanggui and rushed straight into the village.
In the blink of an eye, the Datong cavalry had already rushed in front of the young man.
In the eyes of the indigenous boys, these cavalry seemed to have descended from the sky. Their horses are so tall and mighty. Their leather armor was so beautiful and strong. Even these heavenly soldiers, everyone wears leather boots on their feet.
"There's an enemy on the left!" A Cossack shouted in panic.
"On the right too!" Another Cossack shouted.
Yegor was already scared to pee, gritted his teeth and roared: "Rush over at full speed, don't be surrounded!" ”
They can't run.
The dragoons under the divisions, and perhaps some on inferior horses. But as the first cavalry division, the horses were all carefully selected, either hybrid descendants of Indian horses or good horses among Mongolian horses.
And the horses of the Cossack robbers were brought from the Buryat Mongols. There are robberies and transactions, and whether they are good or bad depends on luck.
When both sides were running at full speed, it was obvious that the horses of the Datong cavalry were faster.
"Break to the right!"
"Woooooo
Yegor took out a bullhorn, jerked on the reins and began to turn. He didn't dare to rush any further, because the Datong cavalry had already outflanked him, so he could only run to the forest to the east in a panic.
More than a dozen Cossack robbers reined in and changed direction.
There was a Cossack who, due to the hasty turn, could not contain the hooves of the war horse, and directly lost his balance, and even the man and the horse fell to the ground. The cargo struggled to get up, and before it could get on the horse, Luo Yanggui had already caught up and picked it up two or three meters away with one shot.
Yegor saw that there were Datong cavalry on the right side, and he subconsciously raised his arquebus. I suddenly remembered that I had already fired, and I didn't have time to reload yet.
Yegor swung his whip violently, and the war horse under his crotch picked up speed again.
His Mongolian horse was stolen from the Cossack leader when he took refuge with Khabarov. Although it is not a BMW, it is also a good horse, and it has reached the average level of a cavalry division.
If you look down from above, you can see Yegor taking the lead...... On the run. His subordinates were quickly thrown out of more than a dozen positions. On the left side, the Datong cavalry came back, and the Datong cavalry pursued behind him.
Luo Yanggui galloped on his horse while bending his bow and arrows.
Sou!
An arrow hit the back of the Cossack robber, and the arrow pierced the leather armor. But the horse's bow was not very powerful, the enemy was wounded but not killed, and the arrows swayed on his back, and he continued to flee.
Woohoo!
Bang bang bang!
Bows and arrows and bullets rained down on the Cossack robbers.
There are three types of cavalry in the Datong Cavalry Division.
One is the cavalry, which can shoot arrows from a distance, can fight in close combat, and even carry a crossbow and a small round shield.
One is the Yi cavalry, which can organize a wall-type charge, can shoot arrows from a distance, and the traditional melee fighting ability is weak.
One is the dragoons, who mainly use firearms to fight.
Of the three hundred people brought by Luo Yanggui, fifty of them were dragoons, and the rest were all Xiao cavalry. This time it was an expedition, and the cavalry took off their iron armor and came over wearing only a leather armor.
When Yegor heard the gunshots, he subconsciously lay on his horseback, turned his head back to check the situation, and was immediately frightened.
After the baptism of arrows and bullets, more than a dozen of his men have almost been wiped out, and only two lucky ones are still alive. One of them, with an arrow stuck in his shoulder, swayed as his horse undulated.
"Run, run!"
Yegor frantically sped up and finally rushed into the forest, and at the same time the horse's speed was automatically slowed down.
On the outskirts of this primeval forest, there are often indigenous activities, and many paths have been trodden. Yegor rode his horse along the path, looking back from time to time, only to see an enemy getting closer and closer.
Luo Yanggui's position is the commander of the cavalry, and this time he only brought 300 cavalry, purely for the reason of the expedition.
Under his crotch was a second-generation hybrid of a horse, a wari horse and a Mongolian horse, barely on the edge of the BMW. At this moment, the four hooves are running, as if flying in the forest, at most half of the incense can catch up.
Yegor was so frightened and angry that he knew that he could not get rid of it, so he slowed down and stopped.
This former Lithuanian serf raised his spear and rushed towards Luo Yanggui on his horse.
Luo Yanggui also raised his spear and chose to hedge against the enemy.
The two horses staggered, and Yegor suddenly flew to the ground, falling to the ground and smashing, a large amount of blood gushing out of the hole in the leather armor on his chest.
At the moment of stabbing the enemy, Luo Yanggui abandoned the spear. Then Le Ma turned around, pulled out his waist knife and rushed over, and Yegor, who was on the ground, was slashed in the knee before he could come to his senses.
Luo Yanggui turned over and dismounted, picked up his spear, and without saying any nonsense, he stabbed it into the throat of the enemy.
This group of Cossack robbers was completely annihilated without much effort.
For the first time in history, the Qing army fought against the Cossacks, and the fight was a shame.
At that time, Khabarov robbed the village and was stationed in a stockade with earthen walls. There were 20 musketeers, 70 Cossack vagrants, 117 indigenous servants, and three artillery guns.
The Ningguta general Haise has 600 Eight Banner Army, 500 Daur natives, 420 Feiyaka natives, and 105 Hurka natives under his command. Carrying six artillery pieces, 30 muskets, 12 10,000 enemies.
The strength of the Qing army was six times that of the Cossacks.
And the Manchu Qing Dynasty at that time was the peak of the military peak. And the surrounding natives were all sending messages to the Qing army, and the Cossacks were surrounded without realizing it.
In this battle, the Qing army was defeated......
Obviously the Cossacks have been surrounded, and obviously the Cossacks don't know yet, and the Qing army will be done with a direct night attack.
The general of Köninguta was in a swaggering formation, and then bombarded the earthen wall with artillery.
Collapse a few more gaps in the earthen wall, attack on several sides at the same time, and use the advantage of troops to get it done. Haise wanted to order the capture of those who were alive, and the gap only collapsed in one place, so he ordered the whole army to charge and capture the prisoners.
The Cossacks put three guns, all aimed at the gap in the earthen wall.
The Qing army swarmed up, crowded at the gap, and became a live target for artillery.
The Qing army was soon dumbfounded by artillery, and the Cossacks took the opportunity to organize a countercharge. In the midst of the chaos, the Qing army, including the Eight Banners Army, suddenly collapsed, killing 676 people. Those Cossack robbers captured 830 Qing horses, 17 muskets, 2 artillery pieces, and a large amount of food.
After this battle, Khabarov's strength increased dramatically, and it was more than enough for one person to ride two horses.
This is the real Eight Banners Army, don't think they are awesome, it's just that the Ming Army is worse than them.
"Commander, there is still a living mouth."
"Bring it here!"
A Cossack robber, who was not killed by an arrow, was escorted to Luo Yanggui.
I was going to torture the news, but the two sides didn't understand the language.
Luo Yanggui felt that the other party was pretending to be stupid and stunned, and ordered torture. But the Cossack, tortured to death, was still just screaming.
The indigenous boy and patriarch Bao Bai brought the people of the clan over and kowtowed to Luo Yanggui when they met.
"Get up," Luo Yanggui asked, "Is there a Rakshasa ghost nearby?" ”
Bao Bai said: "There is also, but it is not a Rakshasa ghost, but a dog raised by a Rakshasa ghost." The Rakshasa subdued the two Daur tribes, and some of the cowardly Daur people became dogs for their enemies. They were in the woods, and they had stolen food and women, and some furs of wild beasts. ”
"Lead the way now!" Luo Yanggui said.
The natives didn't know where the enemy was, so they let the hostages who had been released to report the news lead the way, but there was not even a ghost there.
The indigenous teenagers organized hunters to explore the traces in the forest all the way, and it took most of the day to finally find the traces of the enemy.
More than a dozen Daur natives remained stupidly in place, guarding the looted livestock, food, women and furs of the Cossack robbers. When they saw that the Datong cavalry was outnumbered, and all of them were on horseback, they did not choose to flee, and immediately knelt down and asked for surrender.
Under repeated questioning, Luo Yanggui got more military information.
It turned out that not everyone in Khabarov's main force carried arquebuses. There were only more than 20 Cossack musketeers, more than 100 Cossacks with cold weapons, and the rest were all native Siberian hunters.
These indigenous hunters came from different tribes, even the natives of Lake Baikal and the Mongol herders who were captured by the Cossacks. These people were all equipped with hunting bows, some brought knives, some did not carry knives, and when facing the Datong cavalry, the combat effectiveness was negligible.
Luo Yanggui muttered, "It's really a group of robbers." There are only two or three hundred such weak bandits, and they are able to run rampant on both sides of the Heilongjiang River. The local natives, none of them have eggs? ”
It's not that there are no eggs, but those who have eggs are either killed by the Tartars, or they are captured by the Tartars and killed in battle.
Moreover, the Cossacks had large ships that came and went like the wind in the Heilongjiang River. If several indigenous tribes united and appeared with an army of thousands, the Cossacks immediately had to run away by boat and go to another place to loot.
