Ten Dragons Take the Inheritance

Chapter 406 Collecting the net ([-])

Strictly speaking, the Kalamaili Mountain ambush position is not an ideal ambush site. Although the entire battlefield is pocket-shaped, it is too wide in the middle—two [-]-foot-high towers stand opposite each other and are separated by more than [-] feet. The small hill is the entrance to the pocket array, and at the end of the battlefield is another [-]-foot-high mountain. Behind the mountain is a small river; the winding river makes several big bends and flows into a large lake on the right side of the battlefield. On the side is an undulating hill, very low, at most ten feet high; on the left side of the battlefield is a swamp, where no one can pass through, and if you are not careful, you will fall into the mud; the whole battlefield is in the shape of a diamond , small at both ends and large in the middle, and there are some small lakes dotted in the center of the battlefield with a radius of more than ten miles.

It is actually very difficult to effectively give the enemy a surprise attack with such an open pocket formation. To be honest, it is not easy to tighten the pockets, but this is already the most ideal pocket formation in this area. The terrain Although the terrain is not ideal, it can only make do with it, can't it?For this sake, Yin Zuo can only hope for the bravery of his soldiers, but the mystery of all this will soon be revealed—Ada leads the retreating cavalry of the Qing army to rush past in a panic amidst billowing smoke and dust. After leaving the two small hills that looked like portals, they ran all the way to a camp in the middle of the battlefield, with the Cossack cavalry chasing after them and the main Russian army following behind.

Major General Buchruski is an old man who has fought battles. Although he despises the combat power of the "yellow monkey" in his heart, he still has basic tactical skills, and he will not ignore the possibility of being ambushed because of this. .Just when he led his troops through the mountain pass and saw the huge fortress in the center of the battlefield from afar, Major General Bukhruski was agitated, but he couldn't help feeling a little suspicious, and ordered the Russian infantry to stop at the mountain pass. He took out the binoculars at his waist to observe the surrounding movement carefully, but because the Qing army was hiding tightly, Major General Buhruski didn't find anything wrong.

"Blow the horn, let Colonel Chuliuski fire to scout the camp, and order Koniewski to send two companies to occupy the two hills, and the rest of the troops stand by." Major General Bukhruski put down the binoculars, Frowning quickly, he pointed to the two hills not far behind him and issued a series of combat orders.

Damn it, this old man is still very cautious, damn it, he didn't move forward.Yinzuo hid in the woods and observed with binoculars for a while, and found that the Russian army stopped at the entrance of the battlefield, and did not rush to attack that camp, but instead sent two small troops to occupy the two small hills. Some people are in a hurry - Yinzuo's battalions are hidden in the dense forest behind the two hills. If those old men reach the top of the mountain, Yinzuo's entire strategic plan will go bankrupt.

"Order the cavalry battalion to attack, be careful not to use guns to entangle that Cossack cavalry, hurry up!" Seeing that the old man would not take the bait, Xu Zuo had to temporarily change the plan and send out the cavalry that was originally one of the strategic reserves camp.

Sun Sihao, the commander of the Chinese military battalion who followed Yinzuo, responded in a low voice, rushed down the hillside, ran to the cavalry battalion standing by in the dense forest, got on his horse, pulled out the command knife at his waist, and shouted: "The Holy Spirit has ordered, The cavalry battalion goes out, don't shoot, entangle that Cossack cavalry, go out!" As soon as the words fell, he rushed out of the dense forest in the first place, and more than two thousand Qing cavalrymen who had already been ready for orders put their guns on their saddles. He unloaded it, drew out his saber, followed closely behind Sun Sihao, and rushed towards the Cossack cavalry who were chasing Ada.

Colonel Chuliusky chased after the fleeing Qing cavalry, and suddenly heard his own army's bugle order from behind, asking him to scout out the movement of the big camp with firepower, watching the figures shaking in the big camp, He could vaguely see the rows of artillery being pushed out of the barracks by the "yellow monkeys", and he felt a little guilty, but the order was an order, and he didn't dare to disobey, so he had to bite the bullet and follow the Qing cavalry towards the barracks Rushed away, but the horse slowed down quietly.

The person in charge of guarding the camp was Qi Haoran, deputy general of the Firearms Battalion. Originally, the plan was to wait for Lao Maozi's entire army to enter the battlefield, and then give up the camp after a little resistance. Those so-called "artillery guns" were actually only three or four real. The rest are wooden fakes. Once the old man enters the camp, the explosives planted there will be of great use. But now the main force of the old man has not been moved, and only some Cossacks have come. The cavalry, this made Qi Haoran a little unsure whether to start the fight or not. While hesitating, Ada had already led the retreating Qing cavalry towards the camp.

"General, what should we do, fight or not? If you don't hit the old man, you will pass the shooting range." A guerrilla general standing beside Qi Haoran asked anxiously.

Qi Haoran stomped his feet resentfully, his fat cheeks twitched, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Fire! Fire! Hit the **** hard!" Following Qi Haoran's order, the Qing army's artillery began to fire, although There are only four real ones, and the pre-set shooting elements have a very high hit rate, but seeing the shells whistling and falling towards the middle of the Cossack cavalry line who are rushing madly, blasting up balls of blood and mud mixture, The stumps and broken arms of men and horses splashed in all directions. Although the four cannons only killed a dozen or so Cossack cavalry, they broke up the charging formation of the Cossack cavalry. It didn't have the momentum of crazy pursuit just now.

It was too late, but it was soon, at this time Ada led the defeated army to the front of the camp, but did not enter the camp, but ran around the barracks from the left to the back, turned around the corner of the barracks and disappeared, already The Cossack cavalrymen in the chaos saw that the pursued prey disappeared, each of them slowed down their horses, and were hesitating whether to launch an attack on the camp, when they suddenly noticed smoke and dust billowing from the right side of the camp, followed by It was the sound of rumbling horseshoes, obviously a large group of cavalry was making an impact, and they lost their positions immediately. No matter how Colonel Chuliusky shouted, they all hurriedly reined in their horses and turned around, preparing to escape for their lives.

"Kill!" Sun Sihao, who took the lead, turned out of the corner of the barracks, shouted loudly and rushed towards the Cossack cavalry who were in chaos, regardless of whether the cavalry battalion behind him followed. The Qing cavalry, who had recharged their batteries for a long time, also rushed towards the Cossack cavalry. At this time, the Cossack cavalry, who had already exhausted their horsepower, had just turned their horses. Before they could escape, they were overtaken by the swarming Qing cavalry. A massacre began in the open space in front of the camp.

In all fairness, the Cossack cavalry is undoubtedly a very strong cavalry team. Not to mention everyone is tall and strong, the horses are also tall and strong, and their riding skills are also good. Years of fighting have made these Cossack cavalry soldiers become soldiers. It is still much stronger than the Qing cavalry, but it is a pity that this group of Cossack cavalry has been fighting repeatedly, and they have been ambushed several times. Apart from heavy casualties, their morale has long been low. Coupled with the long-distance raid, Both the horsepower and the physical strength of the people are all overdrawn, and the number is less than a quarter of the Qing army. There is no way to start this battle. They don't even have the ability to resist a little, and they can't escape if they escape However, if the main force of the Russian army does not attack again, the only thing waiting for them is the annihilation of the entire army.

"Oh, damn the yellow-skinned monkeys!" The Qing cavalry had just turned the corner of the barracks when Major General Bukhruski judged that the Cossack cavalry would be wiped out. Whether we can win this battle, even if we win, Major General Bukhruski will not be able to escape the fate of being court-martialed after returning home. Moreover, if there is no cavalry detection and cover on this vast prairie, If you rely on infantry alone, there is a possibility of being attacked at any time. Once close combat occurs, the value of a musket is just a spear. In this way, there is only one choice left for Major General Buchruski—all The army attacked to save the dying Cossack cavalry.

"The guards attack! Run forward!" Major General Buchruski, who had recognized the situation, quickly issued a combat order without the slightest hesitation. However, it was not chaotic, showing a good tactical quality. There was no chaos when the seven or eight phalanxes were running forward. Frowning - this battle is not as easy to fight as originally imagined!

The Russian army moved extremely quickly, but it rushed to the center of the battlefield in a short while. At this time, the Cossack cavalry had been beaten to pieces. Except for the more than [-] Cossack cavalry led by Colonel Chuliusky who gathered together to resist to the death, The single Cossack cavalry had been wiped out, and at this time Sun Sihao was leading the Qing cavalry to attack the Cossack cavalry curled up in a ball.

"Send the signal, let the cavalry battalion withdraw! Let Kui Xua and Li Dahai attack and close the door!" Yin Zuo watched as the Russian army phalanx had entered the battlefield, and the Russian army ordered to occupy the two door-shaped hills was about to After climbing to the top of the slope, knowing that we couldn't wait any longer, he quickly issued an order without even putting down the binoculars.

On the hillside at the end of the battlefield, the trumpet gun was fired three times, and then a shrill horn sounded. The cavalrymen of the Qing Dynasty who were surrounding the Cossack cavalry were furiously attacking the Cossack cavalry. The stubborn Cossack cavalry roared and fled towards the camp. The Russian phalanx on the outskirts of the battlefield only had time to fire a row of guns, but missed a single person, as if they were shooting off the Qing cavalry.

While the cavalry of the Qing army was retreating, the forward battalion and the right battalion of the Qing soldiers who were ambushing in the dense forest of the two hills immediately rushed out of the dense forest like a tiger when they heard the sound of the trumpet, shouting to kill the countermeasures. The Russian soldiers of the two companies who were unable to guard against it, the poor Russian soldiers of the two companies were climbing the mountain, but they were worried about the cavalry battle in the middle of the battlefield, and they would turn their heads and stop to watch from time to time, never thinking that they would be lying in ambush right under their noses Seeing so many Qing soldiers, most of them were killed by a burst of gunfire from the Qing soldiers, and the rest turned around and fled down the mountain desperately. The fleeing Russian army named and killed them.

"Stop advancing!" Major General Buchruski watched the Qing cavalry retreat, and immediately ordered the Russian phalanx to stop. He had doubts about the large group of cavalry that appeared just now—this group of well-trained cavalry Not only did the cavalry dress differently from the Mongolian cavalry, but they also played very different banners. Although Major General Bukhruski did not understand the meaning of these banners, he felt a very bad feeling in his heart. The "map" he got out of his arms was silently meditating.At the right time, there was a burst of dense gunshots from behind the Russian army. Just by hearing the gunshots, Major General Bukhruski could tell that this kind of gun was definitely not an arquebus or a flintlock gun equipped by the Russian army. He hurriedly turned his horse's head to look at the way he came, but just in time to see the two companies he sent to occupy the two small hills being driven down the mountain like ducks. The troops were ambushing, and they couldn't help feeling a little flustered. They gritted their teeth and rode on the horse, their eyes were red.

"General, there is an ambush among us." Colonel Chuliusky led the remaining two hundred Cossack cavalry back to the Russian brigade in shock. When he saw Major General Bukhruski saluted, he said worriedly.

Major General Bukhruski ignored Colonel Chuliuski's nonsense, and didn't even bother to return the gift. He rode on his horse and carefully observed the dynamics of the battlefield. After a long period of silence, Major General Bukhruski's first regiment Lieutenant Colonel Konevsky, acting head of the regiment, called to him, pointed to the fortress in the distance, and said, "The lieutenant colonel has a task for you, take down that fortress within half an hour."

"Yes, General, I promise to complete the task!" Lieutenant Colonel Koniewski saluted without hesitation.

"Well, go, may the Holy Mother bless you." Major General Buchruski saluted back, and then crossed himself on his chest.

"For the sake of the empire, the guards attack! The first regiment comes with me!" Lieutenant Colonel Koniewski rode his horse back to the front of the queue, drew out the command knife at his waist and pointed in the direction of the camp, and loudly issued the order to attack Suddenly, the battle drum sounded, and the first regiment of the Guards was divided into three square formations. With the sound of the drums, they marched steadily towards the Qing army's camp, and a bloody battle kicked off...
