Chapter 626: A Great Victory

Xiao Chen shouted to retreat, and at the same time, under the protection of the guards around him, he turned his horse's head and ran backwards without a life, fortunately, his mount was enough to run fast enough, and the heavy armored cavalry of the Rus people really couldn't catch up with him for a while......

There were also some brave Yanyun light cavalry who organized a counterattack, but in the face of the heavy armored cavalry in the charge, they had no power to fight back at all, and they were basically crushed at the first touch!

As the so-called defeat of the army is like a mountain, the thousands of people who were still showing off their might just now were scattered in an instant.

But fortunately, they were all light cavalry, fast enough, and they were scattered like birds and beasts.

And the muskets of the Rus' people could not be reloaded on the horses, and the accuracy of the bows and arrows was not good, so although they took advantage of the victory to pursue and kill the Quartet, they did not kill or hurt the living force of the Yanyun army, but the discarded armor and weapons were everywhere......

It seems that these guys are really a bunch of silver-like pewter guns, a useless rabble!

After chasing a few miles away, they saw a continuous camp in the distance, and the Rus generals who led the troops decided to take advantage of the situation to directly break down their camp and completely solve it once and for all.

But was Xiao Chen's camp so easily overwhelmed?

Suddenly, I saw that hundreds of crossbows were swishing out of the forty or fifty strange-shaped carts lined up at the gate of the camp, and the crossbow arrows were so powerful that the dozens of Rus cavalry who rushed to the front were all dressed as meat skewers!

But the Rus' cavalry was also really fierce and fearless, and continued to shout and howl and charge, this time it was the turn of the ballista men to hurry, and the enemy army came up too fast to reload.

Let's run too!

As soon as there was a whistle, all the birds and beasts scattered.

Don't chase after the poor, the Rus cavalry also knows the rules of this battlefield.

They only symbolically pursued around, and when they saw that Yanyun's army had already run away and could not see anyone, they immediately gathered their troops and began to search around the camp.

Xiao Chen and their defeat was too hasty, and the countless baggage in the military camp were all left, and the grain and grass alone filled ten large warehouses, as well as a lot of silver, gold, satin, and clothing, and other military materials such as armor and weapons were simply countless!

The Rus' cavalry won a great victory almost bloodlessly, which was unexpected to them, but it was also reasonable.

The Rus' cavalry was brave, but they had a great weakness, that is, they were undisciplined and greedy.

When Napoleon attacked Rus', he witnessed the terrifying combat power of the Rus' cavalry.

He also made a very pertinent evaluation of it: If there were such brave and skilled cavalry under my command, I would take them to sweep the whole world!

They were undoubtedly one of the best cavalrymen in the world, but they were undisciplined and unwilling to dismount to fight, which greatly limited their performance on the battlefield......

Therefore, when they saw the mountains of booty in the barracks, they immediately forgot that they were fighting, dismounted and discarded their weapons and armor, and began to search everywhere for all kinds of valuable items.

In the end, it was Ivan who sent his own personal army to arrive, and finally stopped their frenzied looting.

The seizure can be described as very rich, just to transport these trophies back, it took more than half a day, and the dozens of ballistas were quite well preserved, and naturally Ivan happily accepted them.

The rest of the things that could not be taken were burned until nightfall, and the flames and smoke could be seen billowing from the golden beach......

The land battle is so smooth, and the water war is even smoother.

When the Rus cavalry attacked, Ivan ordered all the battleships to go upstream, and the heavy ships and artillery easily beat Yan Yun's more than 100 small warships, and fled in defeat!

The river was littered with their wreckage, and more than half of them were knocked over alive or smashed into pieces.

Of course, the Yanyun Navy Division also put up fierce resistance, but the damage caused by the small-caliber shells on their ship hitting the Ross heavy ship was almost zero......

If it weren't for Ivan's several orders to withdraw the fleet, the commander of the fleet would have wanted to kill him directly to Changshan City!

It is not impossible to look at this situation, in fact.

At least with the exception of Ivan, almost all the other generals were so optimistic.

"This was invented by the Chinese man named Xiao Chen himself?" Ivan was amazed by the intricacies of the internal structure of the captured ballista.

"I heard that this is the case, when he first entered the customs, the Xian Xiao cavalry suffered a big loss because of these ballistas, hehe, those Xian Xiao people are really too stupid."

Cavalry Major General Vasilinov was very disdainful of the ballista, because of the fact that the ballista was very bulky, and because the internal structure was too sophisticated, the failure rate was high.

And the time to reload again after a round of shooting is too long, so that the continuity of the shooting is not enough, so the actual combat is not strong, and it is not as exaggerated as the legend is at all.

The reason why the Xian people suffered losses was probably because they panicked when they saw the crossbow arrows, how could they command Ruo Ding like themselves and order their subordinates to continue to charge?

"No, the Fresh Man isn't that stupid." Ivan disagreed, he had also fought with the Xian people a few times, and the combat effectiveness of these guys was not inferior to that of the Rus cavalry.

"That's the commander's problem, the little prince is a woman, isn't he? How can a woman know how to fight? Vasily laughed.

"Vasily, are you drunk? You have forgotten that our empress is also a woman. Ivan said coldly.

"Oh oh oh, that's not what I meant, our empress is a messenger of God, not an ordinary woman!" Vasily busied.

"General Ivan, I think the general attack of the Huaxia people on Shunfeng City is about to begin, maybe tomorrow, otherwise that Xiao Chen will not rashly attack us......"

A chubby, balding middle-aged man was Major General Olga of the Ross Marine, and he always spoke with a thick nasal voice, probably because his nose was too swollen.

"Hahaha, Olga, do you call their reckless move an attack?" Vasily laughed.

"No matter what it is, this is a precursor to a formal war, I think we should take the initiative tomorrow, I can lead my fleet to the north of Changshan City, choose a suitable beachhead to land, and directly attack Changshan City!" Olga Road.

"That's a good idea." "But I think this should be done by my cavalry, and I only need a day and a night to kill the city and capture it!" ”

"No, no, no, I think Vasily your cavalry should attack the flank of Qin Gang's army, that's what they're most afraid of, isn't it?" Olga Road.

"Hehe, Olga, I didn't even know that you were now the commander-in-chief of our Sands City!" Vasily sneered.

"I'm just talking about things, and if my men were cavalrymen, I'd do that." Olga shrugged indifferently.
