Bing Guishen, the first three checkpoints went down without any hindrance. This was due to the light of the defense tokens of Sanxing City, and the subsequent battle was purely a blitzkrieg.
The unsuspecting sentry post never expected that the Rakshasa ghost would come so quickly. Before the order from Ninggu Tower City was conveyed, the enemy's soldiers had already rushed to the door.
With almost a volley of cavalry muskets, the defending soldiers retreated one after another. Even if there were a few strong-minded people who wanted to stop the defense line, they were still like a mantis. The only martial arts in the world is fast. This group of Cossack cavalry regiments rely on fighting to fight, and they actually fired. The attack speed of the Mongolian cavalry regiment in the Middle Ages.
They fought all the way to Sandaohe, where the ancient post road was already halfway through, and the on-the-spot resistance order issued by Ning Guta had just reached the hands of the local garrison.
In fact, just when Hunchun and Lieutenant General Lin were discussing together to block the Rakshasa cavalry on the ancient post road and prepare to delay the volunteers, Sanxing City had already been defeated without attacking.
Then Hunchun and others still followed the past procedures to convene a meeting of the generals and military, and then conveyed the order to the generals to execute the order. They quickly delivered the general's order to each garrison, and then the elite troops from all over the place gathered in the predetermined area. This set is completely medieval. The combat mode of the era was extremely inefficient.
Hunchun had suffered at the hands of the Rakshasa ghost before. Precisely because he knew how powerful the Rakshasa ghost was, he had never received any vacancies in the Ningguta Defense Area, which is across the river from the Far East, and he had given the soldiers military pay. He is also the tallest among the generals outside the pass.
If only compared with the soldiers in the Qing Dynasty, then the officers and soldiers under Hunchun are definitely superior soldiers, at least in the Qing army camp outside the pass, they are absolutely invincible in the world.
It's a pity that the powerful medieval army is just dust in the dustbin of history. Their concept is completely different from the modern army. Facing the blitzkrieg of the Cossack Cavalry Regiment, all the methods Hunchun used are just a joke.
Originally, Hunchun and the generals discussed that the blocking location was on the bank of the Salin River between the first and second roads of Kalun and Kalun. This place is surrounded by mountains, with high mountains and dense forests. Although the river is frozen, there are artificial river embankments that can serve as a basis for defense. .
Twenty thousand soldiers were mobilized from the Ningguta area to rely on the river embankments and river channels to block the attack. Although they could not say that they could defeat the enemy, it was good to hold off for three days to buy Xiang Shaolong and the others some time. This could be regarded as Hunchun's loyalty to the emperor.
However, the plan was not as good as the sudden change. News came one after another. When two thousand soldiers gathered on the Salin River, troops from the front reported that Sandao River had been breached by the enemy.
When four thousand soldiers gathered on the banks of the Salin River, military reports from the front came that the town of Karen was breached in four directions and all the defenders were killed.
When 5,000 soldiers gathered on the banks of the Salin River, military reports from the front came that the town of Sankolum was attacked. The enemy cavalry regiment bypassed the town and the defenders were unable to stop it.
In the evening of that day, when there were finally 5,000 soldiers on the banks of the Salin River, the shocking news was brought by the broken troops. The village of Erdaokalun, just north of the Salin River, was captured by the enemy. Even without stopping, he was completely overwhelmed.
The defeated troops on horseback rushed to the bank of the Salin River. They knelt in front of General Hunchun's horse and cried bitterly, "General! It's not that we don't work hard and fight to the death, it's too fast, it's too fast!"
"Three rivers, four Karens, three Karens and our checkpoints were all breached in one day. The enemies were all double horses and one water's quick guns. We couldn't hold our heads up when they beat us!"
"General! You can't fight forcefully. You can't fight forcefully. There are more than 20,000 enemies, all of whom are elite soldiers who have fought in hundreds of battles. There is not even a single one who can make up the number. This is simply not something we can resist!"
Hunchun held the waist knife in his hand. He really wanted to chop these incompetent wastes to death, but thinking about the scene when he fought against the Rakshasa ghosts, he knew that these soldiers were not lying, so his knife could not chop them alive.
At that moment, Lieutenant General Lin suddenly pointed at the exit of the woods directly to the north, "Look at the Rakshasa ghost's cavalry! The entire army is deployed and guard the river embankment."
The afterglow of the setting sun shone on the earth, and half of the forest was already dark. Only the tops of the trees were still shining with golden light. People at the post crossing could see with their naked eyes that the slanting sunlight was half bright and half dark.
In the endless darkness, an endless wave of cavalry rushed out like ghosts. Each man was equipped with two horses. The white mist sprayed from the nose and mouth of the war horses in the air actually formed a thin cloud.
The leading Cossack cavalry saw the Qing soldiers stationed on the other side of the river at a glance. He drew his saber and proudly shouted, "Assault formation, prepare for battle Ula!"
The cavalry pouring out from the post road entrance immediately formed a fan. The attacking front became longer and longer, and soon a dense charge cavalry regiment was formed.
The Tsarist Russian cavalry, who had been marching for several days and nights without rest, actually still had great energy. While shouting the slogan of Ula's charge, they took out a few dried meats from their arms and stuffed them into their mouths to replenish their strength. Some even took out their treasured ones. The silver flagon took two sips of strong wine.
"Ula! Ula! Ula!" Horse hooves as big as bowls trampled on the ground, and the rumble struck people's hearts like muffled thunder. Every one of Hunchun's soldiers looked pale, and even their hands and feet began to tremble.
"General! You can't fight head on! The long-range plan has been miscalculated. We must change the plan." Vice General Lin rushed over and shouted.
"Yes! General! We can't fight these Rakshasa ghosts head-on. Our equipment is not as good as theirs, our numbers are not as large as theirs, and our horses are even fewer. If we fight so hard, our entire army will be annihilated!"
Hunchun's face was livid with anger. "Then what are we here for? Are you welcoming distinguished guests? No war." Before he could finish his words, Lieutenant General Lin winked at several of his colleagues around him. As a result, the three lieutenants pounced from behind. past.
"I'm sorry, General! The only way to survive is to preserve your strength. I offended you today!" Several people covered the general's mouth and pushed him to the ground.
"Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo of of of ta...
"Set up a defensive formation, raise the white flag! Speak to the opponent."
With a bang, the soldiers on the periphery pulled up the rope. The three-meter-long hardwood pole hidden in the snow, with its sharpened end facing the outside, quickly formed a forest of spears to defend against the cavalry charge. Then the spearmen After filling their positions, the archers and musketeers pressed behind the formation, and a small defensive position was formed on the river embankment.
"Listen up to the Tsarist Russian cavalry regiment opposite! We are not here to fight you, we are here to protect the safety of the people of the Qing Dynasty. As long as you do not harm the people of the Qing Dynasty, we will not attack."
"We will clear the post road for you, and you can turn directly into the Suifen River Basin." Vice General Lin waved the white flag, and the translator who was proficient in Russian in the team shouted over and over again.
Hunchun's tears mixed with the dirt and rubbed all over his face. This day was the most humiliating day in his life.
