The panicked Tsarist Russian army began a general retreat. They abandoned the accompanying artillery and baggage and ran madly towards the foot of Karen Mountain. What they wanted at this moment was to withdraw into Shaodazigou, and then head east to the river bank to board the ship.
But now, except for the 2nd Cossack Fusiliers who were beaten and unable to move on the river bank, the other Russian troops could not see the situation on the river at all.
On the left wing of the Russian army, the two companies responsible for outflanking and interdicting and the Hezhe hunters had already rushed to the foot of Karen Mountain. After a short rest, they immediately launched a massacre against the Russian army's baggage troops with only a small number of weapons.
Faced with the sudden attack, the Russian army's baggage train was stunned; when they found that the road to Shaodazigou was blocked, and even hiding behind the baggage truck filled with food bags could not stop the four-wheeled army.
Under the rain of flying bullets, they no longer cared about the gunpowder carts and food supplies, turned around and retreated along the foot of the mountain towards the river bank. The Hezhe hunters from Balke Village pursued these defeated troops and chased those who fell behind.
Civilians and soldiers killed them with laser guns or crossbow arrows.
At this time, Zhao Xin received a report from the forward observation post that the enemy reserve troops were retreating too fast and were approaching the foot of Karen Mountain. So he ordered three artillery pieces to intercept and fire at the retreating enemy troops; at the same time, he ordered the troops who had already rushed to Karen Mountain to
The two companies halfway up the mountain quickly moved westward, blocking the Russian army's retreat to Shaodazigou.
The Tsarist Russian warships on the Heilongjiang River sank and caught fire. The twenty-odd warships that had managed to escape had already crossed the center of the river and retreated towards the Zeya River. After discovering this situation, Zhao Xin ordered the two men operating the anti-aircraft guns.
The squad and the guard company quickly went down the mountain and notified Monk Zhou to launch a charge against the Russian troops on the river bank.
"Listen, I don't have extra manpower to guard the prisoners!"
Monk Zhou understood instantly and shouted back into the walkie-talkie: "Yes! I understand!"
As a whistle sounded on the blocking position, the Northern Navy began to charge. A flag with a red background and a white five-pointed star suddenly appeared from the ground, and the Cossacks on the opposite side finally saw clearly who the enemy was.
I saw a few hundred meters away at the foot of the mountain, a group of guys wearing colorful military uniforms with grass circles and leaves on their heads suddenly appeared. They were holding "muskets" and divided into groups of two or three, with each group 30 to 40 meters apart.
The width of the verst actually reached as much as half a verst (a little over 500 meters, and one verst is 1.0688 kilometers.) It was like a big net covering the other side.
The Cossack officers were overjoyed when they saw that the enemy troops were charging in such a dispersed manner.
You don’t even form a battle line? Who gave you the courage to look down on others like this?!
"Cossacks, line up! Let them taste our strength!" Following the officer's loud order, the officers of each row walked to the open space to fight. Other Cossacks also stood up and lined up in three lines on the right side of the officer to 24
The men were lined up in a row. Within a few minutes, the three muskete companies had completed their formation, followed by the company commanders and those holding flags and beating drums.
This scene stunned the charging Beihai navy. They couldn't help but stop and thought to themselves: Are they even going to live? Are they ready to line up and be shot?
The platoon leader of the Northern Navy who rushed in front said to me, "What the hell, after all these battles, this is the first time we have encountered this!" The Qing army knew that they would run away when being bombarded, and these red-haired people were screwed at noon.
Or were you confused?
In fact, in ancient times, the biggest nightmare for infantry was the charge of cavalry. The unformed infantry had almost no power to fight back against the cavalry. In the late Northern Song Dynasty, there were 15 cases of Jin cavalry driving 1,500 Song infantry everywhere.
In order to defend against cavalry, infantry must be equipped with a large number of spears or halberds. When muskets appeared, they replaced archers and spearmen. Later, after the reforms of Morris and Gustav, the phalanx became more and more flat, and the fire
The proportion of gunners is getting larger and larger. A hundred years ago, the French invented the sleeve bayonet, so spearmen were completely eliminated. The square formation was flattened into three rows or even one row, creating a typical line infantry tactics.
Then some people say whether skirmishers can be used to attack in the flintlock era? As long as the soldiers shoot accurately, even if they kill one with two shots, wouldn't the opposite line of infantry be doomed? (In fact, many time-travelers did this.
of.)
A word for you, stop dreaming!
Let me tell you a story. It is said that during the late period of Napoleon's expedition to Russia, the 9th and 18th Infantry Divisions of the Russian Third Western Army were ordered to block the retreating French army on the west bank of the Berezina River. The person in charge was the Army Chief of Staff Ivan Vasily.
Lieutenant General Yevich Sabaneyev, this man enjoys a high reputation as an "expert in skirmishing" in the Russian army.
Lieutenant General Sabaniev let his group of veterans who had experienced battles in the Balkan Peninsula and Caucasus Mountains give full play to their experience in skirmishing and caused considerable damage to the French Second Army that was retreating across the river. Even if this battle allowed
Swiss sharpshooters have never been as ferocious as the Russians - the four Swiss regiments had a total of 1,300 people before the battle, but only 300 were beaten after the war. Among them, the Swiss 2nd Infantry Regiment suffered the most heavy losses, with only 2 surviving in the end.
officers and 12 soldiers.
It seems awesome, right? But then the French army taught this "expert" a lesson. French Marshal Ney seized the opportunity of the Russian army's loose formation and decisively commanded the 4th, 7th, and 14th Cuirassier Regiments.
A total of 400 people and about 700 people from the 2nd, 7th, and 15th Polish Lancers Regiments braved the unfavorable terrain to launch a fierce attack. In the end, with the assistance of the French Second Army Infantry Corps, more than a thousand French cavalry defeated the entire two troops.
A Russian infantry division not only captured more than 600 prisoners of war, but also eliminated the Russian threat to the French flank, chasing them for nearly four kilometers.
Monk Zhou and his orderlies strode up behind the platoon leader who was in a daze, kicked him on the butt, and cursed: "Kang Youcai! Why are you in such a daze?!"
Kang Youcai, the leader of the platoon, staggered with an "Ouch!" and turned to Monk Zhou: "Company Commander, are they planning to line up to die?"
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "I don't care whether he dies or not! Your order is to attack, to destroy!" Monk Zhou shouted angrily, and then ordered the machine gun team that followed him.
: "Hit me hard, you won't stop as long as there's still one person standing!"
After saying that, he put on a very arrogant posture, held an assault rifle and opened fire at the Tsarist Russian infantry three hundred meters away.
Yes! The company commander has spoken, so let’s fight.
Under the crossfire of nine machine guns, the Cossacks holding up their muskets with their chests and heads raised were like targets. Streams of blood mist accompanied by broken limbs exploded among the Tsarist Russian infantry, and the outflanked troops from both wings
Other infantry squads also opened fire heavily on the enemy.
Ten minutes later, when Zhao Xin's guard company caught up, only twenty soldiers of the Second Transbaikal Musketry Regiment survived, and none of the officers survived.
Monk Zhou did not see Zhao Xin and Chen Jishan among the people in the guard company, so he told a platoon leader of the guard company to lead his people to clean the battlefield, while he took the captured Cossack officer's sword and led the team.
He chased him north along the river bank.
Zhao Xin did not go down the mountain with the guard company. He only left a few personal guards such as Chen Jishan and Yin Weibing. After the rest of the guard company left, Zhao Xin asked Chen Jishan and the others to look around while he walked around the anti-aircraft gun position.
, and then carried his assault rifle down the mountain.
This was the second time Chen Jishan, Yin Bingwei and others followed Zhao Xin on his expedition. When they went down the mountain, they were extremely vigilant and protected Zhao Xin closely, for fear of bumping into him.
In the eyes of these personal guards, Zhao Xin is no longer at the level of a human being, and he is still the type who will be the emperor in the future.
In fact, in the entire Beihai Town, except for a former young eunuch, Chun Lai, and a few old eunuchs who looked after the gate, no one had ever seen the real emperor. And these former eunuchs, due to their severe attachment to and excessive worship of the imperial power, learned from their mouths
None of the emperors I inquired about belonged to the human level.
I wish I could open my mouth here and speak, and the flowers in the imperial garden over there will immediately bloom according to the order; if I ask God for rain today, tomorrow there will be sweet rain everywhere.
The True Dragon Emperor, what else could he be but the reincarnation of a god? But Chen Jishan now feels that what Chun Lai told him about Emperor Qianlong is nothing compared to the one behind him!
"Sneeze!..." Zhao Xin sneezed three times in a row, rubbed his nose, and said to himself, "Who is talking about me?"
By the time he led his men to the foot of the mountain, the guards and others who had gone ahead had already completed the work of cleaning the battlefield. They carried out Zhao Xin's orders most thoroughly. They did not keep any prisoners, and even stabbed them with bayonets when they died.
Whether it's someone with a punctured intestine or belly, someone missing arms or legs, or someone lying down pretending to be dead.
Chen Jishan picked the most majestic one from the gathered Cossack horses, led it to Zhao Xin and asked: "Sir, where should we go next?"
"If you don't want to ride on horseback, let's go through Aihui City." After Zhao Xin finished speaking, he took two steps and then stopped and ordered Chen Jishan: "Inform the artillery positions and ask them to pay attention to the movements of the Qing army, so as not to be captured by others.
The way back.”
Twenty minutes ago, the Qing army on the second line of defense in the north of Heilongjiang City was ready to retreat, but found that Rakshasa turned around and walked away. At this time, no matter how stupid the Qing army was, they understood that this must be related to the constant explosions in the north.
relation.
"Where did the righteous people come from and confiscated the Rakshasa's gunpowder store?" Deputy Governor Eledimbu received a report from his subordinates, saying that someone had helped the Hezhe people to beat up more than a hundred Rakshasa cavalry.
After half-death, and finally letting himself get a big advantage, he became even more confused.
Only then did he feel that this must have something to do with the unknown fleet that came yesterday, but which Geshanda (township chief) has such great appeal and can actually summon the philosophers of several thousand kilohertz? Yes, Eldemu
Bu believed that without thousands of men, such a big battle would definitely not be possible.
Moreover, after such a great victory, those Hezhe righteous people would definitely suffer heavy casualties.
At this time, if someone told Eldemubu that the rebel bandits from the south were coming, he would definitely not believe it. With thousands of miles of waterway, it would take a month to get here even by boat from Ninggu Pagoda; let alone Ninggu Pagoda.
Now that tens of thousands of troops have gathered, Zhao Ni wants to come to Heilongjiang City and bring shame to the world. He must first ask the Ming Marshal if he agrees.
(Liangming, who is in a coma, raises his hand and has no objection at all!)
Although Rakshasa withdrew, Eldemubu did not order the pursuit because he only had so few troops and could not afford to break them. If Hulunbuir's three thousand reinforcements arrived, he would definitely be the first to lead them out.
.
So the Xiaoqi School, who had made a huge bargain with fifty Sauron soldiers, received the order again to scout north to find out the enemy's movements and the location of the reinforcements, and ask the unknown Hezhe leader to come to Heilongjiang City to see him.
The fire in the old city of Aihui is still going on. This oldest military fortress in Heilongjiang, built in the eighth year of Yongle in the Ming Dynasty, is completely destroyed.
In a yard where there was no fire, Chen Jishan and the others found two saddled and gorgeously decorated Mongolian horses, which surprised several people. These horses did not run away and were well tied. Then the guards were in the yard.
After a careful search, they soon found a half-grown boy in the corner of a wing room.
When the child was discovered, he was holding a knife in his hand. When he saw Chen Jishan coming in, he jumped out from behind the pile of firewood and stabbed Chen Jishan's chest with the sharp blade.
Isn't it a joke to use a knife with Chenjiagou's master? Chen Jishan has good eyesight and quick hands. He quickly retreated diagonally. When the opponent's strength was exhausted, he pushed the kid's shoulder with his right hand, and the half-grown kid turned around on the ground with the knife.
After a few laps, he fell down. After he fell, before he could distinguish between east, west and north, Chen Jishan lifted his tie from the back of his neck and took him to the yard.
"Sir, I found such a child."
Zhao Xin looked at the child in front of him. Although his clothes were dirty, the material was actually made of satin, and he was wearing a roe deer hat on his head. He then smiled and asked: "Little guy, what is your name? This horse
is yours?"
Hearing Zhao Xin's extremely fluent Beijing movies, the child was stunned. Only then did he see clearly that the people in the yard were not Rakshasa with blue eyes and high nose, but the same yellow skin and black hair as himself;
The clothes and weapons in his hands have never been seen before.
Yin Bingwei on the side said in a deep voice: "My lord is asking you something, why are you so dazed?"
The child thought for a while, then stumbled very hard and said: "You, are you from Beijing?"
"Oh, you can actually understand what I said!" Zhao Xin was extremely surprised. He never expected that there would be a child in such a remote place who could understand Mandarin.
"I, I went with Amma and went to the capital."
"Oh, what about your Amma?"
The child's face darkened and he said, "I went to fight Rakshasa yesterday and didn't come back."
Zhao Xin asked again: "What about the other people in your family?"
"My mother is gone a long time ago. I got separated from my family last night."
"Is this horse yours?"
"Yes, I pulled them out of the burning yard. If I didn't save them, they would be burned to death."
Zhao Xin kept sizing up the child while he was talking. Seeing that he had a strong build and a simple and honest face, and there was no cunning look in his eyes when he spoke, he asked, "What's your name?"
"Oolong..."
"Oolong tea?" Zhao Xinxin asked, why would anyone still have such a name?
"That's right, it's just oolong, without the tea behind it."
"Hezhe people?"
"Sauron."
"What's your last name?"
"Dahul'Eji."
Zhao Xin nodded, and then said to Chen Jishan: "Give him a few compressed biscuits and let him hide in the south. The fire in the city has not been extinguished. It is too dangerous. We have to leave."
"Yes, sir."
As soon as he finished speaking, Wulong raised his head and asked Zhao Xindao: "Are you an adult?"
"yes."
"Then where are you going?"
"Go and fight Tsarist Russia, oh, it's Rakshasa."
"Then, can I go with you?" Oolong asked and said hurriedly: "I can ride a horse and I can shoot arrows accurately."
Zhao Xin smiled: "Really? Where are your bows and arrows?"
Oolong turned around and ran into the side room where he had just been hiding, and found his ebony bow and quiver from behind the pile of firewood.
Zhao Xin smiled and shook his head and said: "You can't do this. The Rakshasa uses all muskets, which are beyond the reach of bows and arrows."
"Then, I will lead the horse for you." After saying that, he pointed to the two horses in the yard and said, "These horses will be given to you, sir."
"Don't! The battlefield is dangerous, and bullets don't have long eyes. Grab your things, mount your horse and go south quickly. Your Ama may be there too."
After Zhao Xin finished speaking, he walked out of the yard without looking back. Chen Jishan stuffed a few compressed biscuits into Oolong's hand and told him: "Listen to the adults and leave quickly. The city is too dangerous. The fire may break out anytime."
It’s overheated.”
The group of people walked out of the west gate of Aihui Old City in the smoke and fire, and then headed north.
