Hidden Dragon in Qing Dynasty

The battle had lasted for almost five hours from noon until now. Cossack's two waves of attacks had all failed, and the number of people in the battle had been reduced to four thousand.

Fajeev's heart ached for British and French combined forces, he had never been at such a disadvantage since he started his army. Even when Cossack cavalry met the British and French combined forces, there had never been such a high casualty rate in the cruel Crimean Battlefield.

In the battlefield, these Cossack were as fierce as a gale. They could attack from afar with their lances, and could split the enemy's formation with their swords. In a blink of an eye, he could find countless ways to break through the enemy's defenses.

Even if they met with the concentrated fire of the cannons, with the superb riding skills of the veterans of the Cossack, there still wouldn't be such a large number of casualties.

But today, the Cossack cavalry who were known for their explosive and nimble movements had no choice but to face the enemy's strong defensive line and fight for their lives.

It was obviously a taboo for the army, but Fajeev had no choice, because the battle situation had already escalated to this point, and all the external factors were forcing him to choose the lowest option, because all the other paths were already blocked.

In the military academy, Xiao Letian once used this War of the Far East as a metaphor. He said that war was actually a battle with all kinds of energy, weapons and equipment, the training level of personnel, the ability to supply and supply, the fighting atmosphere between the military and the civilian population … And then there was the terrain, weather, diplomacy, and other factors that needed a little more energy to accumulate.

There was only one goal. To allow one's side to accumulate more energy than the enemy, as long as one could accomplish this, victory was actually very easy.

The most difficult part was when the war had just begun. However, as the fighting progressed, more and more people were being sent out as partners. If they continued to fight, it would naturally happen.

From the start of the war to the end, it was actually just a process of pushing the iron ball up the mountain. When both sides pushed the heavy iron ball up the mountain from the side, the beginning stage was without a doubt the hardest, just like a people in a peaceful state. It was not easy for you to get them to enter a state where they were prepared for war.

They needed the encouragement of their leaders, the brutality of their enemies, and all sorts of incidents as a trigger. They also needed to open up a lot of joints and make all the major powers approve of this war.

Completing all these tasks was only the first step. After that, it was time for the troops to get into position, to train the recruits, to train the veterans, to equip the personnel to enter the battlefield, and for the diplomats to carry out a long period of time … At this time, he was only pushing the steel ball halfway up the mountain.

Finally, during the sprinting phase, both sides began to engage in small scale battles. Local conflicts gradually triggered large scale disputes, and as time went by, the difference in strength between the two sides gradually revealed itself.

There were two factors determining victory. One was who pushed the iron ball to the top of the mountain first, and then gently let go of it. The metal ball that contained a huge amount of energy would roll down first and crush the enemy into minced meat with an overweeningly domineering aura.

The second factor was that both sides would arrive at the top of the mountain at almost the same time. At this time, the quality of the iron balls would be higher, and the brutal war would enter its nation-building phase which many commanders were trying their best to avoid.

Xiao Letian had done it, the accumulated energy of the Bravehearts had reached its peak first, and the Haishenwai was already under their control. The pier was already safe, and the people and supplies from the south could be replenished continuously.

In addition to the coup that took place in the Hun Chun, which blocked all of the crossings of the Black Dragon River, the exhausted Cossack's reinforcements were unable to get any supplies.

Everything had been prepared, the war had already reached the stage of unbridled release of energy, what Xiao Letian wanted to do was to quietly enjoy all of this, enjoy the enemy's miserable wails.

Both sides could hear the other side preparing for battle and the hissing of their men, but there was no exchange of fire or provocation. There were even a group of wearing white robes that were sent by the Bravehearts to search for survivors on the ice and treat them.

The Cossack's on the north shore had complicated expressions as they watched these Chinese rescue their brothers. They knew very well that these people were destined to become Chinese prisoners in the future. They were also pressuring Sha Russia at the negotiating table.

However, they could not stop them, because they thought that no one would have the heart to stop these medical soldier.

Xiao Letian's order made the Dragon Lord puzzled, "Why do we have to save these people? We have enough captives, we don't need this! The most important thing right now is to prepare for battle. Fajeev will definitely not admit defeat, the third attack might very well happen after nightfall … "

Xiao Letian who was half leaning on the chair, had a thick bearskin coat covering his body and was resting with his eyes closed. "Actually, this war is already over. We need to look behind us. The further we look, the better it is …"

"Negotiation is just one aspect... I saved her because of my virtue! "

"Good?" Xiang Shaolong was stunned: "Ah! So that's how it is, forget it … "If that's the case, then what else do I have to say!?"

The two of them shut their mouths at the same time, but it was just a tacit understanding. Time slowly passed, and the two of them were waiting for the night battle that was about to begin.

There would definitely be a bloody battle later in the night. This was the agreement of the staff officers, the two failure of the cavalry assault had already caused Cossack a bit of pain, the fire power of the loyal troops had completely exceeded the density of the cavalry assault, and all kinds of new weapons could also deal with their various schemes.

There was no chance of an attack if they wanted to, and these Russian were not stupid. There was only one dangerous path to take, and that was the night battles.

The Jiangxin Island had three sides, after all, which were surrounded by water, and had a high front and wing firepower, so they could not be that strong. First, they used their main cavalry to attract the fire from the Chinese, and then they had thousands of their cavalry to get off their horses and crawl across the dangerous ice surface to cover the Chinese flank.

Beyond the two hundred meters of safe ice lay the rugged farmland carved by the Chinese. The structures of the ice had been destroyed and could not support the weight of the war horses.

"As long as our brave Cossack can close in on the enemy, as long as we can engage in close combat, the troops behind us will have a chance to break through. As long as we can safely pass through the Jiangxin Island, we will not fail!"

"At the very least, we can still tie with these Chinese, God bless us! Prepare the entire army for battle! "
