Qianlong: Qing Dynasty?What about my Daqing?

Chapter 278 The Tsar's Sharp Blade

The Russian Cossack cavalry and soldiers of the shooting army led by Mikhail were charging on horseback.

The dense gunfire sounded continuously.

The rounds of gunfire made it impossible for him to count the soldiers who were shot and fell.

for a short period of time.

The thousands of cavalry led by him have lost at least two or three hundred people.

This is still in the case of poor visibility and a long distance-in fact, until now, these Russians have not seen where their enemies are.

They could only charge in the direction the bullets were coming from.

How brave.

He was so brave enough to charge against the bullets!

After loading, Tong Wei raised the gun and pulled the trigger while thinking.

Bang bang bang.

Another round of intensive gunfire.

"Charge! Charge!!"

to this stage.

There is no way out.

"Rush forward and trample those Chinese to death with war horses!!!"

Mikhail said loudly with red eyes and gritted teeth.

It was only the continuous gunshots that frustrated the momentum of the charge, and the army formation began to appear chaotic, which interfered with Mikhail's wisdom.

last resort.

Mikhail could only keep telling the orderlies around him to convey orders loudly, when he was preparing to regroup and charge.

'Move five hundred steps to the right! '

Fan Baoyi over there has already started to move his position after four rounds of volleys in accordance with the combat order of the staff.

The half-person-high grass in the Chakhta Ranch gave them the best cover.

The soldiers bent over, held their guns, and moved quickly.

Fan Baoyi, on the other hand, took a platoon, and after the transfer of the large army, he took out the pistol in his waist and fired a bright signal flare into the sky.

Seeing the signal, the artillerymen of the Ming army immediately started firing more than a dozen grenades. The area covered by the grenades was the area where Fan Baobaoyi sent the signal before.

Dozens of grenade explosions did not kill anyone at all, but they attracted everyone's attention.

And under the cover of shells and night.

The Russians did not realize that their immediate enemy had shifted direction.

Fan Baoyi's [-]st Battalion circled the battlefield and lurked on the right side of the Russian army's attacking direction.

"Rush! Continue to charge!"

Seeing that the Ming army's shelling stopped.

Mikhail also completed the adjustment of the army formation.

The order to charge E was issued again.

The ready Russian cavalry lined up in a neat formation.

Charge in the formation of standard European shock cavalry.

trot.

accelerate.

then
Charge at full speed! !

And at this moment.

The crackling gunshots rang out again.

The bullets flying from the right immediately shot and killed the soldiers of the Russian army.

"These Rakshasa ghosts are really brave, but their fighting style is too backward, even inferior to the Qing army."

In the Ming army.

Chen Liansheng grinned.

Of course, the Qing army knew that they couldn't just rush to ambush the Ming army who didn't know the details-this was a lesson paid for with blood.

Moreover, the organization of the Russian army is not much better than that of the Qing army.

After the platoon is disrupted, it is also necessary to reorganize the team.

It's night battle now.

In general.

The most important test in night battles is the organizational ability of an army.

And it just so happens that the organizational skills of the Ming army are very strong.

to some extent
The organizational potential of this army of conquering the capital is higher than that of the general Ming army.

why?

Because the source of troops for Chen Liansheng's brigade basically comes from the original Eight Banners stationed in Beijing.

Even a poor Eight Banners like Tong Wei.

He also went to school, and he was more or less literate-this is incredible in this era.

Because the illiteracy rate in this era is too high.

Why has Lu Fuhai not been able to mention an officer for so long.

Isn't it because getting older and then going to fight illiteracy is getting twice the result with half the effort.

If you simply compare the literacy rate.

The literacy rate of the four brigades of the former army and the rear army of Zhengxidusi must rank first in the Ming army sequence.

One of the benefits of literacy is that it allows soldiers to understand the orders of the forwards faster and execute them quickly.

Such an army might not be able to gain much advantage if it is set up to fight dignified battles.

But if it is used for night battles.

Under the high degree of organization of the Ming army, the advantage of high literacy rate was very obvious.

Just now.

The artillery of the Ming army also locked on Mikhail leading the Russian army in the dark.

The cannon roared.

Cannonballs fall.

The terrifying blast wave of explosives and the metal jet formed by shell fragments swept across the charging cavalry like a torrential rain.

Suddenly there were bursts of screams.

At least hundreds of riders were killed.The cavalry behind also gasped when they saw this scene.

The Russian people are also terrified.

Under the explosion of shells.

They could no longer tell from which direction the bullet came from.

Bullets whizzed past the battlefield.

There was a muffled sound when it hit the human body.

Shells again blocked the road ahead and behind them.

for a while.

It is really impossible to advance or retreat.

Can only be beaten passively in the chaos.

"Damn! What's going on here? How many people are there in the Ming army?"

Tsarist Prince Paul with a reserve team of [-] in the rear frowned.

beside him.

Several Russian officers also looked dignified.

These Russian officers are all proven queen fighters.

They heard the sound of gunfire and artillery from all directions, and their faces were quite solemn.

"His Royal Highness, maybe we are facing more than five thousand Ming troops!"

"This firepower density is too great!"

"His Royal Highness, I suggest retreating immediately!"

Paul shook his head when he heard the words, "We can't retreat, we can't retreat! We must at least figure out how the Chinese fight!"

His face was serious.

He felt palpitations at the thought of being neighbors with the enemy in front of him.

If Russia cannot gain an advantage on the battlefield.

So how do they deal with such a huge neighbor?
"His Royal Highness, this army is very terrifying. Their quality is very high, and their organization is also very high. They can command so flexibly at night, which shows that their command and organization ability is very strong. The remnants of the Ming army and the Qing army, then we have to think about whether it is worth fighting against such an enemy."

said an officer.

Crown Prince Paul's face became more serious when he heard this.

But he did not issue an order to retreat.

Instead, it was decided to send another [-] troops to press up and support Repnin and Mikhail.

A regiment of Cossack cavalry enfeoffed mounted the Don horses.

In the long-term mobile combat in the past, they all tried their best to ride on the Mongolian horses assigned to them, instead of their beloved Don horses, for the purpose of charging tonight!
The Cossacks of this regiment are not the Cossacks in the Far East.

It was the elite Cossack cavalry regiment that came with it from Moscow.

They are the sharp knife of the Russian Empire, the sharp blade of the Tsar.

Participated in the Russo-Turkish war several times.

It is the real elite of all battles.

The sound of hoofbeats came.

Attracted the attention of everyone on the battlefield.

Fukangan stared at the elite Cossacks in the distance with a telescope.

'This is the dispatch of the real elite! '

He put down the binoculars and said.
