The Cossack Army, which suffered heavy losses, had to stop and reorganize its troops. They needed to maintain weapons and equipment, replenish ammunition, and also recruit some new recruits. Due to the poor logistics system of the Cossack Empire, their replenishment was extremely slow. It was not until more than half a month later that the Cossacks
The army then moved out again. The Cossack army that moved back quickly passed through Karazhar, Karaganda and Aralsk, and headed straight towards Ascana.
Seeing that there were not many guard soldiers and residents along the way, Culkin couldn't help but feel somewhat complacent. He believed that his bloody battle had frightened the Stanyan people and lost all confidence in resistance. Therefore, the defenders and local civilians
Then he would sneak away before his own army arrived.
It is a pity that the arrogant General Culkin did not send cavalry for reconnaissance. Since all the planes were lost, aerial reconnaissance could not be carried out. If a reconnaissance plane flew over Ascana at this time, the pilot would definitely see something shocking.
scene.
The dark flow of people is gathering in Ascana from all directions. Its scale is so large that King Abayi, who issued the jihad order, was stunned. All members of the Alliance Parliament were dispatched. They will be responsible for channeling the crowd and removing these unorganized people.
After reorganization, fortunately these people came with their own rations, otherwise the entire Ascana would have been eaten up.
Faithful believers from all over the country rode their own war horses and gathered towards Ascana. In just over half a month, more than two million people had gathered here, and the number was still increasing. King Abayi knew very well that such
The gathering of many people here would not help the victory of the war, so after discussing with several kings, he decided to divide the troops into several parts and enter the battle in stages.
The Stanyans are nomadic people, and their people are all born excellent knights, so the reorganization of these people went very smoothly and quickly. After the reorganization, the army left the city of Ascana in batches, and they will be divided into
Go to various key points and prepare to fight to the death with the Cossacks near the city of Ascana.
Culkin's army did not move fast because they had to drag a large number of heavy artillery forward. Since Alexander III believed that trucks and tractors had no combat effectiveness and were simply extra money, the only vehicles in the Cossack army were chariots.
It is very inappropriate to use a tank to tow heavy artillery.
Although the chariot is powerful enough to drag heavy artillery, long-term driving can easily wear out the tracks. This problem was not anticipated by the Cossack military before the war. The tracks of the Jazz chariots purchased by the Cossack Empire were all hard-connected.
, wear very quickly, usually as long as the track is driven for more than 80 kilometers, the track will be worn and broken. Such frequent replacement of the track makes the Cossacks very annoyed, and there are no railway lines in the Stanya Union, so it cannot be transported by rail.
In desperation, Culkin ordered the troops to dismantle all the tracks and drag the heavy artillery and tanks forward with horses. This way of traveling of the Cossacks is strange, but it is very useful. At least the tracks of the tanks can
There was no need to lose anything, and because of this, they marched for half a month before approaching the city of Ascana.
"Oh my God." Seeing the dark cavalry group under Ascana City in the distance, Culkin couldn't help but take a breath. There were too many Stanyans, and he realized that he didn't see them on the road.
Due to the reasons of many Stani people, they are preparing for the final battle.
Seeing the large number of enemy troops, Culkin did not dare to neglect. He immediately ordered the 400,000 Cossack infantry to set up a formation to cover the infantry flanks. At the same time, all the infantry's light and heavy machine guns were in place, the artillery lowered the gun carriage to load ammunition, and the remaining
One hundred thousand Cossack cavalry were placed behind as a mobile support force.
"Allah is with us." King Abayi, who lost his beloved son Prince Qayim, shouted loudly, holding his scimitar high, and was the first to rush out. Then all the Stanya cavalry waved their scimitars and headed towards
The Cossack army launched a charge. At this moment, any modern weapons were useless. The only thing they could rely on was the scimitar that never left their body.
"Madmen, they are all madmen." Culkin couldn't help but be shocked by the sight in front of him. He immediately asked the orderlies to issue orders, and all the light and heavy weapons in the army began to attack freely. The artillery began to bombard first. Since there was no railway line,
There were no heavy-duty tractors, so the Cossacks left all their artillery of too large a caliber in the border area. The largest caliber howitzer they brought this time was only 105 mm.
If it were the shrapnel shells of the Chinese Empire, just the 105mm caliber artillery shells could also deal a devastating blow to the intensively charging Stanya cavalry. Unfortunately, the military of various countries were closely watching the various types of the Chinese Empire.
Such advanced weapons did not pay any attention to their various artillery shells. At this moment, the Cossack Empire still used old-fashioned explosive shells that triggered fuses.
Every artillery shell falling into the cavalry team can clear an open space with a diameter of three meters. The power of this artillery shell is much different from the air burst fuze shrapnel used by the Chinese Empire. For the Stanyan people who have no right to avoid it,
The lethality is still amazing.
The Cossack artillerymen were shirtless and firing artillery shells desperately. They knew very well that once the opponent's cavalry got close, their own side would suffer heavy losses. Seeing that the opponent was already within a thousand meters, the Cossack army's machine guns opened fire, densely
The bullets thinned the Stanyan cavalry team layer by layer, but they still waved their scimitars and charged forward without hesitation.
"Shoot, shoot quickly." The junior officers of the Cossack Army shouted loudly, asking all the riflemen to join the shooting. It can be heard from their slightly off-key voices that they were also very nervous. All firepower was fully
Opening, the Stanyan cavalry was stopped six hundred meters away. They kept charging but kept dying, but they could never cross the death line.
Seeing that the opponent's cavalry charge was contained, Culkin breathed a long sigh of relief, but at this moment a low sound of horns came from the cavalry formation, followed by horn sounds from all directions, and the earth rang out.
There was a rumbling tremor, as if a huge herd of elephants were approaching.
Culkin quickly climbed to a small hill, picked up the telescope and looked around. He was shocked to find that from all directions, countless cavalry seemed to jump out from under the horizon, and the scimitars held high flashed a silver light, almost shining like flowers.
into Culkin's eyes.
Seeing this scene, Culkin's face changed drastically, and he ordered loudly: "The Stanyans are rushing up from all directions, change your formation quickly, the Cossack cavalry will rush up to entangle them, hurry up."
Culkin's voice was so frightened that he changed a little. The messengers who were waiting nearby immediately urged their horses and went in all directions. The order was quickly conveyed. There was some commotion in the Cossack army, but these were all
He was a veteran who had gone through successive bloody battles, and his mental quality was still good. Under the coordination of officers at all levels, the infantry began to change formations, and a hundred thousand Cossack cavalry rushed forward immediately. They wanted to buy time for the infantry to change formations.
