It turned out that Bashkov's purpose was to delay and slow down. As long as he could protect the city of Nibchu, even if he could compensate the Chinese army for some money, it would be fine. After all, this is Russia's only margin in the Far East. Although Russia established Yakutsk City in the Lena River Basin before the construction of Nibchu City, Yakutsk City was located too north and was far inferior to Nibchu City, which was separated by an outer Xing'an Mountains. The city has a superior geographical location. Once the city of Nebchu is lost again, Bashkov's political future in Russia will be completely over.
But after Zieglev first negotiated with the Chinese army, Bashkov and others also knew that the Chinese army did not intend to give the Russian army time to slow down, nor would the Russian army occupy Nibchu again Therefore, another way must be found to protect the city of Nebuchu.
However, after the previous few battles, Bashkov also understood in his heart that if it was a head-on battle, the Russian army would basically have no chance of winning against the Chinese army. Even if it was defending the city, there were Humal and Yaksa City before. The lost battle example is probably not very likely to defend the city of Nebchu, so whether it is a battle or a defense, it is not the best choice for the Russian army. The only way is to win unexpectedly.
So Bashkov came up with this trick to build a plank road openly and cross Chencang secretly. On the surface, he pretended to be forced by the powerful military force of the Chinese army and had to accept the conditions of the Chinese army, but it was to let the Chinese army relax. Be alert, but the Russian army plans to launch an attack on the Chinese army at night.
Moreover, Ziglev visited the Chinese army's camp twice, in addition to paralyzing the Chinese army, another more important purpose was to observe the fortifications of the Chinese army camps and prepare for the Russian army's attack, although Qi Grev could not see the entire situation of the Chinese military camp, but after all, seeing a local area from the edge to the center can also give a glimpse of it. According to what Zieglev saw, the Chinese military camp did not have it. The fortifications were built, and there were no wooden walls on many places outside the Yingpan, and the trenches that protected the camp were not completely dug. The Russian cavalry's war horses could jump past and then they could enter the Chinese army smoothly. Daying.
Therefore, after listening to Zieglev's report, Bashkov also believed that the chance of success of this night attack was still very high, and he also made careful plans for the raid tonight. First, he ordered Bektov to be ordered. Leading three thousand cavalry as vanguard troops, he was responsible for attacking the Chinese army's camp, and ordered him to break into the Chinese army's camp at any cost, and he led four thousand cavalry and one thousand infantry as his rear squad, After the vanguard troops rushed into the Chinese army's camp, they immediately took advantage of the situation to expand the results of the battle. At the same time, in order to ensure the success of the raid, Bashkov also sent two cavalry teams to launch a feint attack on the Chinese army's camp from the left and right routes. , to cover the main attacking troops, while Tepanov remained in the city of Nebchu.
It can be said that the Russian army's combat plan is indeed very detailed, and it can almost be considered as a guaranteed victory. It depends on the size of the victory, and whether it can completely defeat the Chinese army and completely fail the Chinese army's troops; or just fight. A victory can make a comeback after the Chinese army recovers. Therefore, Bashkov also ordered the remaining Tepanov to prepare in the city and be ready to attack at any time in order to achieve the greatest result.
After making all arrangements, the Russian army also seized the last time to rest and prepare. At around 10 o'clock in the evening, Bektov led the vanguard out of the city. First, he divided two small cavalry teams of 500 cavalry and walked around the Chinese army camp. On both sides, an attack was launched, and then Bektov also led the cavalry to advance to the Chinese army's camp.
After running for a while, the Russian cavalry approached the Chinese army's camp. Although there was no moon today, the sky was full of stars, so you could roughly see clearly. The shape of the camp was faintly vaguely and a little dim. The fire, but there seemed to be no guards for many soldiers, and the camp was indeed not blocked by the wooden walls. Therefore, Bektov was overjoyed. It seemed that victory was indeed in sight, so he immediately ordered to launch an attack on the Chinese army's camp. attack.
The Russian soldiers also activated their war horses and began to sprint towards the Chinese army camp. At this time, there is no need to hide their whereabouts, because at the speed of the war horses sprinting, that is, in the blink of an eye, We can rush to the Chinese army's camp. Even if we alarm the Chinese army's soldiers at this time, it is too late. Therefore, many Russian cavalry lit torches to illuminate themselves to prevent the war horses from galloping at high speed. The collision occurred in the middle, and on the other hand, it was also convenient for setting fire to the camp after rushing into the Chinese army's camp.
The one who rushed to the front of the Russian army was Zieglev, who was the envoy during the day. He had visited the Chinese army's camp twice. Because it was the second time, he also remembered the road, although it was At night, but it was more familiar than others, and he was eager to make contributions. Therefore, Zieglev also held up the torch and took the lead, and also pointed out the direction for the other cavalry behind him.
Seeing that the Chinese army's camp was getting closer and closer, Ziglev was also getting more and more excited, and at this time he could not see how many soldiers of the Chinese army came out to fight, so Ziglev began to think of himself. After rushing into the Chinese army's camp, he slashed his sword and killed all over the world. He even thought that after this battle, he made great contributions. After returning to Chisco, he was commended by the Tsar and revitalized his family. ...
Although Ziegloff was immersed in a beautiful fantasy, he did not forget his responsibilities. He handed the torch to his left hand, held the hilt of the sword in his right hand, and prepared to pull out the sword, but at this moment, suddenly I heard a "bang bang bang bang" sound of guns like a bean-like bang, and at the same time, a row of fire lights flashed past in front of me.
Zigleff's heart sank. As soon as the word "bad" appeared in his mind, he immediately felt a fire-like pain in his left leg, left shoulder, and lower abdomen. Then he felt The sky was dizzy and the earth was falling from the horse's back.
Of course, Zieglev was not the only one who fell down. With the sound of gunfire, many knights or war horses fell to the ground in the rushing Russian army, and at the same time, many of them stumbled behind and rushed up to other Russians. The soldiers, so for a while, the horses were neighing, and the sound of war horses and servants, the battlefield became lively.
Moreover, the attack on the Russian army was not the only row of muskets. Then the muskets rang continuously, and the bullets were as dense as raindrops, shooting towards the Russian army. Although it was in the dark and the enemy was not visible clearly, it was still Relying on dense firepower, the Russian army suffered heavy casualties.
In fact, after Zieglev left the Chinese army's camp, Tong Dayong felt something was wrong, because the Russian army had too much contrast and made too much concessions. Over the years, the Chinese army and European countries The army has fought many times. Combined with previous battles and the situation of fighting with the Russian army in the past, generally speaking, the European army will not surrender easily until the end of the country, but now the Russian army has cities to defend. The troops were more than 10,000, and Russia did not have no chance of winning in the past year. It was obviously different from the characteristics of the European army.
Of course, it cannot be concluded that the Russian army must be a fraud. Therefore, Tong Dayong strengthened the camp's garrison at night, and on the other hand, he also arranged a large number of scouts near the city of Nebchu to monitor the movements of the Russian army. At night, as soon as the Russian army left the city of Nebchu, they were discovered by the Chinese army's scouts and immediately sent back to the camp with flying pigeons, which also gave the camp enough time to prepare.
Although the Chinese army's camp did not erect a wooden wall, this did not affect the Chinese army's defense, because the Chinese army never relied on wooden walls to defend the camp, but instead relied on soil made of trenches and sand bags. Therefore, after receiving the reward from the scouts, Tong Dayong immediately ordered that all the Chinese army's infantry were dispatched and prepared for defense in the trenches around the camp, and the Chinese army's soldiers were hiding in the trenches. As a result, when the Russian army looked at it in the dark night, they could not see how many Chinese troops were defending, so they launched a bold attack, but were immediately hit by the Chinese army.
Of course, the adverse effects of the night are the same for both sides. The Chinese army can use dense firepower to make up for the lack of sight, but the Russian cavalry can only touch the darkness and brave the Chinese army's bullet rains, The Chinese army rushed in the direction of the camp, so in addition to being shot, there were also many people who were tripped because they could not see clearly the road.
At this time, fire was also lit in the trenches of the Chinese Army, so Bektov, the leader of the Russian vanguard, could also see clearly that the Chinese Army had actually made sufficient preparations in the trenches, but at this time Russia The army is in trouble. If it retreats now, it will definitely be pursued by the Chinese army. Even if it retreats back to the city of Nebchu, after dawn, the Chinese army will launch an attack on the city of Nebchu, and the Russian army will also be unable to save it. If you lose, it is better to continue to attack the Chinese army's camp now.
Moreover, Russia's military concept is basically still in the era of cold weapons, and it still pursues the concept of cavalry. Moreover, the Cossacks were also known for cavalry warfare, so Bektov still had great confidence in the cavalry charge. It is believed that the speed of the cavalry can be used to break through the defensive front of the Chinese army, and there may be a chance to win.
But at this time, the Chinese army had completely reacted. Not only did they arrange garrison soldiers in the trenches, but also arranged soldiers outside the trenches to form two rows of shooting formations, and a row was laid behind the soldiers. The guns, muskets and cannons fire together, so the strike is much more powerful.
With the dense gunshots and the bombardment of artillery, the battlefield was also blown up, and the Russian cavalry fell one by one on the way to charge.
