Chapter seven hundred and eighty eighth: the brave are invincible
.”The Tuyan Diao Sajing cavalry, known as the Romanov dynasty, still burst out with powerful combat power when they were dying. These agile soldiers crashed into any enemy like madmen, and their belief was only one pound. Death! Take his enemies to hell!
Woooo! Woooooo! The machete with a cold light flew in the air, waving, and the sword wind generated by the wave made a sharp scream. The blade hit the blade, accompanied by the clanging sounds caused by sparks and metal collisions, and the shouts of killing were deafening and resounded throughout the sky.
This kind of cavalry hedge hand-to-hand combat, one-on-one battle, often when the cavalry machetes of both sides handed over, two war horses kicked by. After the same opponent network had just fought each other, they passed by again. If the enemy was not dead, then they would be handed over to their comrades rushing towards them.
There are no fancy moves or any other skills. At this moment, only by killing the enemy can you prevent yourself from being killed. All you rely on is the passion in your chest and the courage in your heart.
On this bloody battlefield, no matter who they were, they were once lowly or noble, fiercely or cowardly, insidiously cunning or openly, at this moment, both the Dragon Knights and the Cossacks burst into shocking shouts at the same time, stirring up a terrifying fury that was terrifying.
Achev's eyes were red, and almost all of his team had been killed. Some were shot to death by the dragoon's cavalry mirror, some were cut off their heads by machetes, and some were accidentally dropped off their horse's back and stomped into meat paste. One by one, the once familiar comrades fell in front of him, and once hot lives turned into cold corpses. He held the knife and roared like a beast from his throat: "Ula!"
Achev drove the horses to rush towards a dracosman with a machete. At the moment when the two sides fought each other, the machete in his hand roared and slashed like black lightning. The dracosman instinctively raised the long sword in his hand to resist. He heard a violent sound of "clang". The long sword in the dracosman's hand was slashed by the big sword in Achev's palm that was galloping by Achev's palm. The two swords clanged each other. Then, the dracosman was in a bloody rain. After the dracosman's carelessness, Achev suddenly changed the direction of the knife cutting and inserted it into the right rib of the dracosman's ripple. The dracosman shouted loudly, and then he turned off the horse unwillingly.
Achev didn't have much time to be glad about his luck. His luck was indeed much stronger than his comrades in his squad. Soon, another dragon cavalry saw him and rushed closer. Then, the dragon cavalry's horse was fast, and before Achev could react, he had already chopped out a long sword,"
Sneak, the clear sound of the metal and iron piercing into the flesh, and the violent pain between the waist and abdomen made Chekawa suddenly sweat: "Ula
This was the last roar he could burst out, and the deadly long sword obviously stabbed his fur
Everything in front of him was red, and the shouts of killing from all directions suddenly had no connection with Achev. He raised his eyes and stared at the sky. The wind and snow-filled sky seemed to have been dyed red. The dragon cavalry looked at him coldly, then pulled out the long sword in his hand from his waist and abdomen and left.
The warm blood flowed out from Achev's waist and abdomen, but soon condensed into plasma in the cold weather. First, there was a strong pain, but then, he didn't feel the pain anymore. Achev even felt a trace of warmth, just like the Don River in summer. On the green grass, he often took a morning to reach Arina's house.
"Ho, my beloved girl, I hope you won't forget me."
The repeated battles lasted for a whole morning. The Cossacks fought desperately, causing great losses to the Dragoons. The entire legion lost more than one-third of the troops. What made Bai Cheng most heartbroken was that even so, a team of Cossack cavalry still fought a bloody road and escaped to the death.
The snow field had been watered by blood, and the corpses of the dead had been frozen and stiff. The heavy snow still showed no sign of stopping. The dragon cavalry who had fought for the whole morning turned over and dismounted with sadness and began to search for the corpses of their comrades. The young men who were once full of passion have now been buried here. Perhaps they were still talking to each other and imagined the future, but now, everything seemed to be swept away by the wind and snow, leaving only an inconspicuous bone.
After searching for the corpses of their comrades, some people began to clean up the bodies of these Cossacks. They were enemies, but the enemies could also be respected. The Dragoons feared their courage and admired their willingness to die. If it weren't for the early use of the riding mirror, even the Dragoons would not dare to decide the outcome.
Bai Cheng was not so sentimental. He naturally regretted that the soldiers who died in battle had only arrived at this time. As the commander of the side, he understood that any emotional judgment would be very likely to ruin more people. He kept urging the soldiers to enter the city as soon as possible. This is the heartland of Russia. If there were still Russian troops coming, where would the dragon cavalry have the energy to fight again?
At this moment, a scout rushed over and shouted at the far distance: "Report
The scout attracted Bai Cheng's attention, then quickly rode his horse over and rolled over and got off the horse, kneeling on the snow on one knee: "Report, Governor, appear in the northwest direction"
The soldiers of Ji Dai were around 20,000 to 40,000, except for a few scouts, they were all small. The mountain came in this direction and was expected to arrive in half an hour. Please make a decision.”
"Explore again." Bai Cheng's eyebrows were twisted into a ball. He had expected such a situation to occur. Now this field battle has caused huge losses to the Dragon Cavalry regiment. After a battle, the soldiers had not had time to have lunch and had not recovered the energy they had consumed. If they continued to entangle with the enemy at this time, it would be really hurt. He immediately said to the officer beside him: "Tell me that all soldiers must enter the city within one stick of incense, and there must be no mistakes.
"Abide by the order!" The officers went to pass orders one after another. After a while, there were waves of golden sounds coming from the top of the city. When the dragon cavalry heard the sound of gold and iron clashing, they knew that it was an emergency gathering and rushed into Rostov.
Half an hour later, a military horse appeared on the horizon. This infantry was the first modern shooting army built by the Russians with their national strength, especially infantry. Therefore, although Moscow is closer, the arrival time of the shooting army was two deaths later than the Cossacks. It was these times that made the shooting army miss the opportunity to enter the battle. When they saw the scene in the wilderness, they were shocked. When they looked at the Ming flag on the top of the city, they immediately understood that the famous Cossacks had been defeated by this group of Han people.
The commander of the shooting army, Earl Oleev, is now becoming cautious. The shooting army is the most important defense force in Moscow, and enjoys the same land as the Ming Dynasty's guards. Almost all the aura of glory is shrouded in them. Compared with the Russian army, this army is considered safe.
However, the Cossack Cavalry Regiment is no worse than the shooting army. If we talk about the results and reputation, the Cossack Cavalry will be even bigger. This cavalry regiment that has been formed for centuries seems to be the sharpest butcher knife under the power of the Tsarist power. Cossacks are present in almost every Russian foreign war.
Although Count Oleev believed in the combat power of the shooting army, he definitely did not dare to ignore the power of Cossacks. However, now a bloody fact is placed in front of Oleev, that is, the once arrogant Cossack was defeated, and looking at the situation on the battlefield, he may still be defeated.
Count Oleev believed that the shooting army would never be able to annihilate Cossacks, so he became more afraid of the dragon cavalry hiding in the inner city of Rostov.
He canceled the order to attack immediately, but instead asked the soldiers to build fortifications a few miles away. His plan was that since he could not restore the city in one fell swoop, the only way was to trap these Han people. If you want to come, don't think about leaving.
Infantry was not suitable for attack, but it was really good to let the shooting army defend. Count Oleev was full of confidence in this. As long as he had enough patience, it was only a matter of time to trap these enemies.
"General, why don't we fire artillery?" An officer flashed behind Earl Oleev. As a young soldier, he was quite dissatisfied with the earl's cautious approach. According to his wishes, as long as the artillery battalion of the shooting army bombarded the city, and then pressed it with infantry, it would not be difficult to capture the city if it was necessary.
Earl Oleev glared at the officer: "There are not only damn Han people in this city, but also more than 100,000 of our compatriots. Not only that, Duke Rostov and Archbishop Rostov are all in the city, bombing them with artillery, and the most casualties are our own people."
The officer immediately did not dare to speak and stepped aside with tactfulness.
In the following days, the shooting army dug a trench and fortifications outside the city, while Oleev was calculating the stock in the city. In short, for the shooting army, it was definitely the most worthwhile to drag down the opponent. After a few days, troops from all over the country also arrived one after another. They camped around the city and started to consolidate the defense line with the shooting army. At this time, Count Oleev finally saw the dawn of victory, and his mood became particularly cheerful. He even took a group of officers to the nearby mountains and forests for an afternoon hunting.
However, Oleev soon couldn't laugh. An envoy came from Moscow. The envoy was a close minister of Princess Sophia. After the coup, he was ordered to come immediately to inform the shooting army to return to rescue. The hurried close minister obviously didn't know that he had left the net, and Peter rushed into the Krem Palace and became the first tsar in the first place.
When Oleev heard the news of the Moscow rebellion, he was shocked and could not speak. He was a hard-core supporter of the Miloslavsky family. Peter's rebellion pointed directly at Princess Sofia's regent. Once Princess Sofia loses its power, Miloslavsky will inevitably collapse. He, the hard-core supporter of the Miloslavsky family, may not have any good results.
"Your Excellency, please be sure to lead your army back to Moscow to suppress the rebellion." The envoy urged anxiously. In his opinion, Princess Sofia would have more hope when the shooting army returned to Moscow one day earlier.
"No." Earl Oleev was a loyal person. He looked at Rostov City with concern and then said, "If the shooting army returns to Moscow, then these Han people can break through the cage at any time. If there is no shooting army, there will be a gap in the entire line of defense surrounding the city, and the Han people will have an opportunity to take advantage of Yue Gang. The order I received was to eliminate the honor of the Han people to maintain the empire, especially it. Moreover, Earl Oleev smiled bitterly and said, "Even if we return now, it may not be too late. Your Excellency, I am sorry to disappoint you."
The messenger snorted coldly and left with his sleeves.
A few days later, another envoy arrived here. The envoy represented Peter, who had become the first tsar. He had two purposes, one was to appease the commander of the shooting army, and the other was to negotiate with the Han people.
According to Peter's vision, it is extremely irrational to continue to put the empire into war now. The result of the two-front battle will only cause the whole of Russia to fall apart. Therefore, the first thing he did since he came to power was to try to contact the Ottomans and Ming dynasties to enter into a ceasefire agreement. If a covenant could be concluded, it would be impossible to abandon part of the territory in exchange for respite. Russia's problem was not a matter of territory size, but the consequences of rapid consumption of population and finance. What he needed was time, time to expand his arms, time to heal the wounds of the war, and time to re-establish the empire's might.
On the first question, Count Oleev wisely expressed his willingness to be loyal to the new Tsar, while on the second question, Count Oleev was a little dissatisfied. He spent a lot of time to tightly surround the enemy and wasted a lot of energy to calculate the time that could be held in Rostov's city. He was already sure to win and count the shame of washing the empire. However, the new Tsar actually asked for peace talks with the enemies in the city in one sentence. Maybe after the peace talks, they would also give them gifts out of the country. As a commander, Oleev was naturally full of complaints and raised objections.
But soon, Oleev surrendered, and saw that he was helpless in persuading Oleev, and did not force him. Instead, he went to several other camps around. The garrisons who rushed from all over the country expressed their support when they heard that Peter had inherited the Tsar. This was also because of the sequelae of Princess Sophia's regent as the regent. No one thought that this regent princess who loved luxury and beautiful clothes could do anything. Peter, the real heir of the Tsar, held the power, but left everyone speechless. Then the envoy conveyed Peter's orders, and the officers had dried up.
He accepted the first order of the Tsar. In fact, the garrison troops in these places are different from the shooting army, and the garrison troops have a stronger sense of honor. After all, the military tasks of the garrison troops are not heavy, so it is natural to neglect training. Oleev has confidence in the extermination of these enemies, but it does not mean that the officers of the garrison troops have great hope for this upcoming fierce battle. Moreover, Oleev is an earl and has enough political capital to reject the orders of the new Tsar, but most of these officers are from small and medium-sized nobles. I am afraid they have never thought about it.
Oleev vowed to wipe out these Han people, but the garrisons who cooperated with the shooting army gave up their defense line and retreated for several miles to make good moves to the Ming army for the upcoming negotiations. Oliev was unable to snatch the city of Rostov. The strength of a shooting army composed of 20,000 people was obviously not enough. Without the coordinated defense of friendly forces, the entire defense line naturally had a lot of flaws. Oleev was so angry that he jumped his feet, but he had no choice but to compromise with the envoy and ordered the shooting army to retreat for several miles.
Bai Cheng's face was full of doubts on his face. He was not worried about the defense line outside the city. In his calculations, the navy might have arrived at the port of Rostov. At that time, the navy and marines were dispatched to attack the dragoons in the city. This defense line would be a decoration, but the scene in front of him surprised him. The Russians gave up the fortifications that had been excavated for a long time and retreated backwards.
"What kind of tactic is this? Bai Cheng looked puzzled and puzzled. He always felt that the Russians seemed to be tinkering with some conspiracy. He ordered the soldiers defending on the city wall to monitor closely, and he hurriedly ordered someone to call the duke and bishop of Narostov. After all, he was not familiar with the Russians' way of fighting. Since that was the case, he could only call the two prisoners to question.
But soon, Bai Cheng knew that he had a wrong idea because a cavalry appeared under the city. The cavalry was not afraid to ride his horse to the base of the city wall, and then shouted to the city wall.
Bai Cheng immediately asked the Fanze official who could understand Russian to read the speech, and the Fanze official greeted Bai Cheng and said, "Sir, the Russians under the city said they would send an envoy to the city for peace talks, please decide."
"Peace talk?" Bai Cheng looked strange and felt even more incredible. Why did he start the talk before he even fought? Could it be that this was a conspiracy? He thought about it and could not think of what the Russians wanted. Finally, he said to the translator: "Tell him that if you want a peace talk, you can only let the messenger come alone, and the rest must not approach the city wall, and in addition, you must not bring any weapons,"
