From a strategic point of view, the Qing army has occupied the active position, after a few ambushes have almost eliminated Lao Maozi's cavalry, without the strong assault of the cavalry, the Russian guards who are already in the encirclement want to break through and basically hopeless - the infantry who fled in a hurry on the steppe can not get rid of the pursuit of the cavalry at all, once the Russian infantry can not form an effective fire blockade, the cavalry rushed into the queue can only be a lamb to be slaughtered, and there is no power to fight back, From this point of view, the Qing army's strategic conception has gone well so far, but this does not mean that victory is within reach.

As we all know, the realization of strategic objectives is supported by a series of tactics, and a strategic opponent must be tactically proficient, otherwise all strategic ideas are utopian. There is no doubt that Yinzuo is a master of strategy, the strategy tailored for the Qing army is completely feasible, the demise of the Russian Cossack cavalry and the capture of the Guards have proved this, but the problem is that Yinzuo is not a master of tactics, in fact, no one in the entire Qing army has commanded or participated in the modern war of all firearms, from top to bottom are all new Ding, how to fight is actually just crossing the river by feeling the stones, this is very fatal, don't look at Yinzuo A calm look, In fact, he also beat the drum in his own heart, after all, since ancient times, there have been countless examples of the collapse of the entire strategic concept due to tactical mistakes.

The current situation of the entire Kalamaili Mountain battlefield is as follows: the swamp on the left side of the battlefield is not guarded by the Qing army; On the right side of the battlefield was defended by more than 1,800 infantry led by Li Mingbiao, the commander of the forward battalion; The two hills that served as the gateway to the battlefield were respectively defended by 300 men led by the deputy commander of the right battalion, Kuisua, and Li Dahai, the deputy commander of the forward battalion, while the commander of the right battalion, Mutoa, led 1,000 soldiers of the right battalion to rush out of the dense forest and began to dig trenches between the two hills to cut off the retreat of the Russian army; Qi Haoran, the deputy general of the firearms battalion, led 500 people to guard the large battalion as bait; On the two small slopes fifty zhang away after the big camp are the main positions of the Qing army, with more than 1,000 people in the forward battalion and more than 3,000 people in the middle army battalion guarding several lines of defense; Shanbao, where Yinzuo is located, is the highest point of the entire battlefield and the center of wisdom, and only two thousand Shanpu battalions with cold weapons are responsible for guarding. In the dense forest at the foot of the mountain, more than 2,000 cavalry were used as a strategic assault reserve; The total strength is more than 11,000 people, and there are more than 80 artillery pieces.

On the Russian side, there are only more than 200 Cossack cavalry, more than 4,000 infantry, and 42 artillery pieces. The effective range of Russian artillery is 600 to 800 meters, beyond which the shells have little lethality. The cannon is still used in the cannon style of the front-loading gun, the gunpowder is still black powder, the shell is a spherical solid bullet and a flowering projectile, which can be fired once every three to five minutes, but because the casting process is not too hard, in fact, it can be fired eight times per hour is about the same, if it is fired too frequently, it will explode due to the overheating of the barrel. In contrast, the Qing artillery used smokeless gunpowder and a rope-pull gun with a rear-loading ammunition room. The effective firing range can reach 800 meters to 1,000 meters, and although the shells are also round, due to the lathe cutting and casting method, the precision of the artillery ground is improved, and a high speed can be achieved as long as it is loaded with less gunpowder. At the same time, the accuracy of the launch is improved, and due to the reduction of the dosage, even if the pipe wall is thinned, it will not explode. As a result, although the Chinese and Russian artillery had quadrant-assisted aiming, the Qing army's artillery was far superior to the Russian artillery in terms of hit rate.

Weapons are important to fight, but they are not the only determining factor, otherwise the big guys don't need to fight, just show the weapons and compare, whoever has a good weapon won't win. Wouldn't that be a lot of trouble? Therefore, from this point of view, although the Qing army currently has an absolute advantage, it is not necessarily possible to win the final victory, in other words, this battle will not be as easy as hunting.

Major General Buchrusky was indeed an excellent general, but after looking at the battlefield for a while, he understood his current situation, and also saw that the camp was basically an empty camp, and the reason why he wanted to take that camp was only to have a defensive stronghold, and he did not want to be attacked by cavalry armed with muskets in the plains. In his opinion, it didn't matter if there was an ambush in that empty camp. The first regiment sent out had already lost its commander and two more companies, so it would be better to take them to explore the road first. If they can successfully take the camp, the Russian army will be able to get a respite, and it will not necessarily be unable to defeat the "yellow-skinned monkeys" who are trying to besiege their side. ”

Lieutenant Colonel Konevsky is an experienced field commander, if it weren't for the fact that he was not a nobleman, he would have been a general long ago with his military exploits, and the accidental death of the former regiment commander this time can be regarded as giving him an opportunity to be promoted, and he naturally does not want to let go of the opportunity to perform well. Lieutenant Colonel Konevsky, who was riding on a horse, marched resolutely to the front of the entire Russian ranks, not caring at all that he might become a target of the Qing army, he wanted to encourage his soldiers who had been defeated through such a fearless spirit, indeed, he did it, the soldiers of the 1st Guards Regiment saw that their commander was so fearless, and their morale was greatly boosted, and with the sound of drums, all the Russian officers and soldiers held their chests and heads high, and walked slowly towards the Qing army camp with neat steps, Only the sound of neat footsteps echoed in the entire battlefield, and the air on the battlefield seemed to be frozen, giving people a feeling of breathlessness.

Qi Haoran, the deputy general of the firearms battalion, has never seen a regular war, but as the "arrow" No. 5 of the "dark arrow", he crawled out of the sea of corpse blood, and his courage is naturally very strong, seeing that the faces of the officers and soldiers under his hands have a trace of fear, he can't help but feel angry in his heart, of course, Qi Haoran, who is in charge of political work, will not have a seizure, his eyes rolled, he suddenly laughed, pointed to the first regiment of the Guards that was slowly moving forward and said with a smile: "Brothers, these targets are coming, take out some spirits, hey, Where to find such a good shooting target, listen to my orders, and prepare the cannons. Qi Haoran paused slightly. After estimating the distance, he said loudly: "Cannon fire!" ”

The only four real guns in the camp suddenly opened fire together, and the shells whistled and smashed towards the Russian ranks, and the two shells were smashing into the queue in the middle of the Russian army, and the flying sub-shells suddenly exploded the flesh and blood of the Russian army, and the first battalion of the Russian army, which was originally densely formed, was suddenly in chaos, and was killed and wounded by these two cannons, and the other two shells fell on the ground between the Russian formations. No losses were inflicted on the Russian army.

"Whole team, whole team!" Lieutenant Colonel Konevsky didn't care about the shelling just now, he sat still on his horse, waved his command knife sharply, and gave a loud order to organize the formation. As the drums of the Russian army sounded again, the first battalion of the Russian army, which was originally in chaos, quickly resumed its formation, still marching slowly towards the Qing army camp with high momentum.

Seeing that his artillery fire did not disrupt the rhythm of the Russian army's march, Qi Haoran couldn't help but feel a little stunned. However, he didn't show it on his face, but shouted loudly: "Good fight, do it again, haha, this kind of target is cool to fight, right?" "Seeing my manager so relaxed. The officers and men of the Qing army guarding the camp also breathed a sigh of relief and laughed loudly, while the artillerymen were busy loading gunpowder and shells, and hurriedly adjusting the muzzles.

Three hundred meters, two hundred meters. One hundred and eighty meters, the Russian army began to trot, getting closer and closer to the Qing army camp, and the Qing army's artillery roared again, but due to the distance, all four shells missed, only in the open space behind the Russian army exploded a cloud of mud, except for leaving four craters. Nothing was gained. One hundred and fifty meters, Lieutenant Colonel Konevsky fiercely waved the command knife in his hand and ordered in a loud voice: "For the sake of the Empire, for the sake of His Majesty the Emperor, the Guards, attack!" Suddenly, the Russian phalanx, which had been trotting all the way, accelerated its charge and launched a charge forward.

"Fire!" At the same time as Lieutenant Colonel Konevsky gave the order to attack the ground, Qi Haoran also gave the order to open fire. Five hundred Qing soldiers who had long been ready pulled the trigger at the same time. The bullets rained out like a curtain. The salvo of five hundred rifles was undoubtedly spectacular, but unfortunately spectacular. The effect is terrible - at this time, the Russian army has just reached the effective range of the rifle in the hands of the Qing army, and the power of the bullet is already very weak at this time, coupled with the problem of accuracy, there are not many people who can really hit the target, and a total of more than 20 Russian troops have been knocked down. Moreover, after the salvo, it will take time to reload the bullets, and such a short time is enough for the Russian army to rush to the effective range of the flintlock pistol, and a pair of shots is inevitable, and it can be seen from here that the battlefield experience of the Qing army is very poor - they are usually well trained, and they can always shoot in waves, stagger each other's shooting times to form an effective line of fire, but they really fought, not only the soldiers but also the commanders forgot about this one, and opened fire with the trigger, and all the things in the training ground were forgotten.

Lieutenant Colonel Konevsky's battlefield experience was by no means comparable to that of the Qing army, and he saw through the reality of the Qing army at a glance, and after seeing that after a volley of guns, the Qing army did not fire again, he guessed the answer, and immediately shouted: "Blow the trumpet!" Get on the bayonet! Charge! ”

The trumpets and drums in the Russian phalanx sounded at the same time, and the order to charge immediately reached the ears of every soldier, and the Russian soldiers who were originally on the march stopped at the same time, raised their guns, aimed, and shot the bullets in the chamber, and then pulled out the bayonet from their waists, put it on the tip of the gun, and instantly changed from a neat formation to a stormtrooper formation, shouting: "Ula." "Rushed towards the Qing army, who were scrambling to load their bullets.

, Qi Haoran, this idiot! As soon as the battle starts, all the things in the training ground are completely forgotten, damn it! Yinzuo guessed the current predicament of the Qing army after just a glance at the situation of the battlefield on the mountain, but there was no way, who made the big guys a group of rookies in modern warfare? If you don't pay some tuition for the war, how can you have a smooth time, and Yinzuo can only hope that the tuition will not be too much.

"Holy Lord, do you want to send troops to support Vice General Qi?" Wang Changtai, who was standing behind Yinzuo, also saw that the situation was not too good, and asked for instructions in a low voice.

"No need, that camp was originally going to be given to Lao Maozi, but there is no need to fight, well, I hope Qi Haoran won't lose too ugly. Yinzuo replied with a gloomy face.

"Fire! Fire! Qi Haoran saw that the Russian army was about to pounce, and he was so anxious that he jumped to his feet and gave the order to fire loudly. At this time, less than half of the Qing army had loaded their bullets, and the others were busy - in a panic, their hands and feet were much slower, how could they play half the level of their usual training. With Qi Haoran's order, the guns in the Qing army column rang out, although more than 200 people fired, but there were front and back, this shot inevitably sparse terrain out of tune, and in a hurry, the accuracy was also poor, a burst of random guns shot down thirty or forty Russian soldiers, the Qing army was killed by the Russian army's dense salvo more than 50 people, this loss is a little bigger, so angry that Qi Haoran's eyes are bloodshot, the green tendons on his forehead are violent, he pulled out the command knife on his waist, and roared wildly: "Bayonet, do it for me!" ”

Well, the battle came to this point, the Qing army was completely chaotic, the commander gave orders indiscriminately, and the soldiers hurriedly obeyed, completely forgetting the training, fortunately, there was no shortage of sober-minded people in the Qing army - Qi Haoran's deputy guerrilla general Chen Miao saw Qi Haoran's behavior at a loss, and was busy stabilizing the more than 200 people he led, and did not order to load bayonets, but drew out the command knife, and said loudly: "Listen to my command, divide into three rows, and fire in turn!" ”

The group of Qing troops who were originally out of order saw that someone came out to command, and immediately stabilized, and the more than 200 Qing troops only remembered the deployment during training at this time, and were divided into three rows according to the order, and the ones loaded with bullets were in the front row, and the rest of the people began to load bullets according to the usual training, ready to shoot, and at this time, the Russian stormtrooper type was only more than 30 meters away from the Qing army barracks......
