Ming Zhengzhi, I am Zheng Kezang

The riders of the Chamont coalition army who rushed towards the enemy cavalry carefully steered their favorite horses. Driven by them, the horses that gradually became active changed from a slow trot to a trot, and a trot to a Trot, trot turned into gallop again.In this way, when the Cossack soldiers on the two wings finally broke through the obstacle zone formed by the Xia army's heavy carriages filled with earth and rocks, and were about to speed up again and kill the generals, the Allied forces on the two wings of Xia Meng had already rammed over at full speed.

To say that the Cossacks did live up to their reputation for bravery. Although they suffered a lot from horse speed and formation, they were still extremely brave.Those who used spears in the front row of the army were even more desperate. Before being knocked down by Xia Jun cavalry with three-eyed guns, they stabbed fiercely and brought their opponents who had just changed into sabers into hell.

It was precisely because of the hard work and sacrifice of these Cossack riders who used spears that the momentum of the Xia army's charge was stopped.

However, in the ensuing fight, the behavior of the Cossacks on the left and right flanks was different.

Of course, the difference in performance is due to different opponents: the left-wing Xia army adopted a group combat mode, which made the Cossack soldiers very uncomfortable-in another time and space, the Cossack cavalry who fought fiercely in Central and Eastern Europe were once in the Napoleonic Wars. The fighting French cavalry were beaten to the brim—they were beaten back steadily. When the slower heavy armored cavalry of the Xia Army entered the battle, the Cossacks who could not break through the defense were even more unable to stand up. Fighting and retreating to the rear; while the Khalkha cavalry, the main force on the right, were cavalry archers at best. In close hand-to-hand combat, the soldiers were not opponents of the Cossacks in terms of physical fitness, quality, or fighting awareness, so they were suppressed by weaker opponents. It wasn't until the Xia Army's heavy armored cavalry entered that they barely stabilized their position and exchanged casualties with the Cossacks one to one or even two to one.

When the cavalry of the two sides began to fight, the main force of the Russian army on the center line continued to advance firmly after the Xia army artillery retreated.

At this time, the Xia army's artillery had retreated to its own front and then regrouped. The local Mongolian cavalry responsible for maintaining the central front also began to slowly accelerate and charge towards the Russian front.

Seeing that the Mongolian cavalry began to charge, the Russian army stopped immediately and re-formed a dense horizontal formation with regiments as units. In the middle of the horizontal formation and horizontal formation, the Russian artillery began to shell the Mongols.

The local Mongolian cavalry who had been watching the battle before finally felt the power of the artillery. Under the threat of death, these Buryats and Maomingan people who were frightened by the Russians began to have chaos-someone tried to speed up the breakthrough The artillery fire of the Russian army was blocked, and some people slowed down and tried to avoid it, but it interfered with the charge of the rear team. [

"These bastards are ashamed to say that they are the descendants of Genghis Khan." Although the central battlefield shrouded in gunpowder smoke could not see the development of the battle clearly, he heard the continuous sound of the Russian army's gunfire. We can naturally judge the result. "Marshal, do you want to join the reserve team immediately?"

Kujin looked coldly at the several Mongol princes around him who had a bad complexion, and then ordered: "There is no need to join the reserve team for the time being, and let the artillery line up on the center line. If the local Mongolian soldiers dare to return, Bomb on the spot."

Kuching's order was quickly implemented, and dozens of local Mongolian soldiers who had fled from the front line were blocked and shelled by the Xia army before they could escape back to the camp.At this time, there were wolves in front and tigers behind, and the overwhelmed Buryat cavalry had to disperse to the two wings, so a surprising scene appeared. If the Cossack soldiers were defeated steadily, both sides would have a chance to win. It just depends on who can defeat the enemy in front of them first.

"Immediately order the Horqin people to attack." Ku Jin, who boarded the command vehicle and looked into the distance, said through gritted teeth. He never imagined that the local Mongolian soldiers didn't even have the courage to turn around and go back to fight. As for his supervising team, it became a joke. "Be sure not to let the Raksha people turn to the two wings." After saying that, Kuching, who was a little anxious, looked at the sky. "Why hasn't King Su acted yet?"

What Kuching refers to is the surprise soldier responsible for outflanking the rear of the Russian army. This army escaped into the northern mountains and forests on the day of the engagement. According to Kuching's judgment, it should have returned to its position early in the morning. I don't know if I got lost or have other calculations.If you get lost, it is God's will, but if you have other calculations, then you will be in big trouble.

When Kuching felt that the situation of the battle was out of control, Luo Yong, who commanded the left-wing operations, observed the abnormality of the central front, but all the troops at hand had been devoted to hunting down the Cossacks. If he wanted to gather enough troops It is not an easy task to hit the Russian army on the center line in the back.Fortunately, the command of the dominant left-wing Xia army did not fail. After some hard work, Luo Yong drew more than 300 cavalry from the front line bit by bit.Immediately, the more than 300 riders, led by Mr. Qian Guan Xiaotian, covered and killed the Central Russian Army like a tiger descending the mountain.

When Luo Yong assembled his forces to raid the back of the Russian army, the Russian army did "touch" the skirt of the goddess of victory, but Kiriyenko did not order his subordinates to turn around and attack the Chamon coalition forces on both wings.Is this his mistake?of course not.In the final analysis, the Chamon coalition forces are too strong, and Kiriyenko is afraid that after he turns around, the enemy's reserve team will rush up.

So why didn't the Russian army half turn and half continue to face possible enemy reserves?

After all, war is not a game where one plus one equals two. If the firepower is reduced by half, it may be completely unable to withstand the opponent's attack. What's more, if it weren't for the poor fighting spirit of the local Mongolian soldiers, the 5000 cavalry might not really be able to rush to Russia. The army is approaching.As a result, Kiriyenko chose a more conservative tactic, believing that the Cossacks could entangle the left-wing cavalry of the Xia army.

Kiriyenko had a good plan, but he never thought of giving up the victory to his opponent. The sound of guns covering the sky covered the horseshoes of the Xia Army cavalry in the rear, until the Xia Army cavalry rushed into the Russian army array. The officers and soldiers of the Russian army realized that something was wrong-no matter which army, when they found that the enemy had appeared behind them, their first thought was that they had been surrounded by their opponents and had failed.

Although the Russian army officers tried their best to organize a counterattack on the spot, they pressed the gourd and picked up the gourd. When the Horqin people who appeared as a reserve team took advantage of it and killed them quickly, the failure of the Russian army was inevitable.

To make matters worse for the Russians, Sutu Bazi's detour troops suddenly appeared at this time. Nearly a thousand Horqin cavalry quickly destroyed the camp behind the Russian army, and set fire to the farm's wooden houses and the thatched roofs of the stables. .The black smoke soaring into the sky clearly and falsely told the Russians who were fighting that you were finished.

Whether it was the still entangled right-wing front, or the one-sided central battlefield, or the remnants of the right-wing Cossacks, they fled back without losing their minds. The Russian army soon collapsed on the battlefield.Even if a small number of Russian troops were still fighting in the corner, the Xia army's artillery team, who had re-attacked, saw it as an advantage.

"You can't go back." Alamodo Korninov, who was covered in blood, reined in his horse panting. There were less than twenty Cossack cavalry around him. "Didn't you see that the barracks have been burned? The Chinese have already occupied it." But the only way to escape back to Irkutsk is along the Selenga River. The farm is the only way to go, otherwise you have to escape into the mountains and make a big circle. "Let's go east, into the mountains!"

It cannot be said that Korninov's decision was wrong. He did escape from the Xia army, but no one has seen the Cossack leader since then.In addition to Korninov, who thinks he is smart, more Russian troops were forced to try to swim across the Selenga River in the process of being chased and killed by the Chamon Allied Forces. Frostbite by the river water, he died on the way back. [

Only a very small number of Russian military units were able to escape the pursuit of the Xia army by chance, and finally escaped back to Irkutsk before the arrival of winter, which brought great terror and worry to the local Russian people. It brought the courage to resist the indigenous people west of Lake Baikal. Of course, these are all things to come.

"Marshal, the battle results and casualty figures are out." Before the celebration banquet, the military commander in charge of statistics submitted the report. "Our army killed and captured the Raksha army, commanding 6000 people under Yamou, more than 21 horses of various colors, 620 cannons, more than 520 firecrackers, 320 catties of gunpowder, and 440 grains and grass. Seven chariots, and more than [-] dead horses, knives and spears, etc. As for our army, [-] seven people were killed in battle, and [-] five people were injured.” The casualties of Xia’s army were mainly caused by fighting with Cossack soldiers . "The Horqin people killed [-] people and injured [-] and [-] people, the Khalkha people lost more than [-] people, and the local Buryats and Maoming'an people lost [-] and [-] people."

This number is ugly. Given that the strength of the Chamon coalition army is several times that of the Russian army, the number of casualties is still greater than that of the Russian army. It can be seen how the Mongolian army's combat power in this battle is. For this reason, Kuching responded angrily. Said: "I know, and I will take care of the captives."

As soon as Kujin's words fell, several local Mongolian princes had come out and knelt down on the ground, but they hadn't opened their mouths yet, but Kujin said with a half-smile: "The princes don't need to say more, I know you didn't mean to In this way, I am just afraid of the power of the Raksha people."

The Mongols who were kneeling on the spot did not dare to get up, and Kujin also paid no attention to it, and just said: "It will snow now, and the Raksha people will not have reinforcements arriving in a short time. Everyone can go back and rest."

Speaking of this, Kujin said: "Because the distance is far away, the imperial court's reward cannot be delivered in a short time, and this official will overstep once. The Zasaktu Khan and the Sanyin Nuoyan tribe rewarded two thousand slaves for their hard work in this battle. , six hundred war horses."

The shepherds are of course the captured Cossacks. As for the horses, they cannot be the captured Don horses, but the replaced Mongolian horses of the Xia army, but this is enough to make up for the losses of the Khalkhas.

"The ministries of Horqin have also worked hard this time. I temporarily distribute the Six Banners grazing land to everyone, and the shepherds also share a thousand. All the swords and spears left on the battlefield will be returned to you." The issue of pasture land that they are most concerned about makes the Horqin people overjoyed. "As for the Buryat and Maoming'an ministries, merits and demerits are equalized, and no rewards or punishments will be given. How they will be arranged in the future will be left to the imperial court." Having said that, dividing the pastures to the Horqin people is already a punishment. "My lords, the imperial court has always rewarded meritorious deeds and punished them. You should be a good student to understand."
