Da Ming started to ascend the throne

Chapter 961
The Tula battle was not only the biggest battle Zhu Cihong and Li Yan fought.

For Zhu Youjian, it was also the battle with the largest number of people he commanded. The total number of people on both sides added up to about 60.

On the left side is the confrontation between the Little Tigers led by Ming Liang's new force and the Tsarist Russian Cossack cavalry.

In the middle is the vital force of Ming Dynasty led by Li Yan and Li Dingguo, as well as the overseas corps fighting against the main force of Tsarist Russia.

The 5 troops led by Zhu Cihong on the right also attacked the Kutuzov Bastion in Tsarist Russia.

Because the name of the Tsarist Russian coach in this decisive battle was Kutuzov, the bastion was also named after him.

There are [-] Tsarist frontier troops transferred from the western front stationed at the Kutuzov Bastion. Because of the bastion, there are not as many troops as in the center.

It can be said that the large-scale forces of both sides were devoted to the battle of the central bastion, and more than 30 troops were gathered in the middle.

In front of the Kutuzov Bastion, three rows of Tsarist soldiers were neatly lined up, protected by [-] Cossack cavalry on their two wings.

They are all veterans who have fought against the Kingdom of Poland and Lithuania for many years. When they saw the arrival of the Ming army, they all showed cold and disdainful eyes.

In their minds, only the Kingdom of Poland, Lithuania and the Ottoman Empire had strong fighting power, and these yellow-skinned Orientals in the Ming Dynasty were simply vulnerable.

As for Ryazan's disastrous defeat, it was because the Siberian soldiers were too weak and the main general Golovin was incompetent.

The yellow-skinned Orientals are nothing but reliable Mongolian cavalry.

"Raise the gun!"

The Tsarist colonel gave an order, and these fierce Tsarist veterans immediately raised their loaded flintlock guns in unison.

Just waiting for the Shangguan to give an order, he is ready to teach the Ming army a profound lesson at any time, so that the Ming army knows what three-row salvo is.

The Ming army led by Zhu Cihong stopped and lined up one kilometer away from the Tsarist Russian soldiers' gun formation.

At that time, infantry duels in wars were basically like this under normal circumstances, unlike cavalry who immediately charged.

The Ming army quickly lined up, and the two wings were also protected by cavalry. The cavalry in Zhu Cihong's formation consisted of three thousand black armored cavalry.

Seeing that the Ming army was in the same formation as them, firing in three rows, and the two wings were also protected by cavalry, the Tsarist Russian soldiers all laughed:

"This group of yellow ghosts, they actually imitated our imperial army formation in style, it's a pity how to fight at such a distance!"

Zhu Cihong didn't care what the Tsarist Russian soldiers thought, and immediately sent orders to move forward after the battle formation was completed.

This made the Tsarist Russian soldiers a little surprised. They never thought that the Ming army's gun formation was moving so neatly.

Originally planned to send Cossack cavalry to charge for a while when the Ming army was in a hurry, but now seeing the formation of the Ming army, the Tsarist Russian colonel gave up that idea.

Seeing the Ming army stop 180 steps ahead of them, a Tsarist Russian lieutenant couldn't help laughing:
"Haha, Ming people are still afraid of death. How can they fight from such a distance? The range of the flintlock can't cause serious damage!"

"Bang bang..."

Before he finished speaking, Zhu Cihong, the crown prince of the Ming army in the Ming army, gave an order, and the gunshots rang out suddenly, and the Minnie bullets rushed towards the Tsarist Russian army like a storm.

"Pfft..."

As the Ming army fired, the soldiers in front of the Tsarist Russian guns immediately splashed blood mist...

"how can that be……"

The Tsarist colonel turned pale with fright. He had commanded the battle for many years, and he had never seen a musket that could pierce armor at a distance of 180 meters.

The muskets of Tsarist Russian soldiers can also hit such a long range, but they have almost no lethality against armored soldiers.

"Bang bang bang..."

Without waiting for the Russian colonel's order, the Russian soldiers immediately shot back when they saw their comrades fall down in rows.

But their flintlock guns did not pose a major threat to the Ming army wearing bulletproof vests and steel helmets.

"Advance ten-meter shooting!"

Seeing the soldiers in the front row of Tsarist Russia being killed one after another, Zhu Cihong immediately ordered the gun array to move forward ten meters and continue shooting.

The Ming army's gun formation immediately advanced ten meters forward, and the gunfire did not stop during the advancement.

The Tsarist Russian veterans who were extremely confident in themselves just now were completely dumbfounded at this moment. The Ming army's muskets were so powerful that they doubted their lives.

"Bang bang bang..."

With the continuous shooting of the Ming army's gun formation, thousands of Tsarist Russian soldiers were killed or injured very quickly.

After all, they are all veterans who have been on the battlefield. Although the casualties were huge in a short period of time, this group of Tsarist Russian soldiers still has not been defeated.

"You can't sit still like this, rush up and shoot!"

Under the command of the colonel, the Tsarist Russian soldiers suddenly charged the Ming army. As long as they entered the range of 100 meters, their flintlock guns could severely damage the Ming army.

Zhu Cihong smiled coldly:
"Machine gun fire!"

Following the order of the Ming prince, the soldiers of the Ming army quickly moved a few steps, and the machine guns they set up beside them burst out with anger.

"Da da da……"

Thirty machine guns fired at the same time. At such a short distance, the power of the machine guns is simply indescribable.

The Tsarist Russian soldiers who had just started charging were instantly smashed into sieves, and some soldiers were even directly smashed by machine gun bullets.

In just a dozen breaths, thousands of Tsarist Russian soldiers were killed. Their bodies were piled up in front of the Ming army.

"Quickly withdraw..."

The Tsarist Russian veteran who was still very arrogant just now, after the colonel ordered to retreat, turned around in a hurry and fled in a mess. He didn't have the calmness and confidence at the beginning.

"Cavalry, kill!"

Seeing the rout of the Tsarist Russian soldiers, Zhu Cihong waved the command flag in his hand, and the three thousand black-armored cavalry on both wings rushed towards them like lightning. The swords in their hands were shining coldly, almost one by one. splash...

Fortunately, there were many gunmen staying on the Kutuzov bastion. They lay on top of the Ming army and shot desperately before covering the rout and fleeing into the bastion. Worried that the Xuanjia cavalry would be severely injured by the gunmen on the bastion, Zhu Cihuang sent an order for them to retreat. This array.

Today's battle has thoroughly shown the veterans of Tsarist Russia what kind of army is a powerful army.

In the past, they always thought that the armies of Western countries were strong, and that China was no longer the powerful Central Plains dynasty before, but through today's battle, they realized that compared with the powerful Ming army, the armies of Ottoman, Sweden, and the Kingdom of Poland and Lithuania are all shit. .

The Tsarist colonel's shoulder was also pierced by a Mini bomb. After entering the bastion, he immediately issued an order to guard the bastion and strictly forbid anyone to go out to fight the Ming army. The Ming army shrank their ministers.

After arranging the defense, the colonel asked for a military doctor to treat him. When the military doctor saw the big blood hole on the colonel's shoulder, he was dumbfounded.

They had never seen such a powerful bullet that pierced the colonel's shoulder, leaving a blood hole the size of an egg. The military doctor was at a loss for a while. How dizzy.

Soon other military doctors came to report that more than 6000 Tsarist Russian soldiers had been injured, with severe wounds on their bodies, and more than 1000 people had been killed or killed due to excessive blood loss.

When the colonel woke up from a coma, someone immediately told him the number of casualties. When he heard that more than 2 Tsarist soldiers were killed or injured, the colonel did not come up and fainted again...
