The panicked Tsarist Russian army began a major retreat. They abandoned the accompanying artillery and baggage and ran madly towards the foot of the Karen Mountain. What they wanted to do at this moment was to retreat 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 interception and the Hezhe hunters had 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 team 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, and turned around and retreated along the foot of the mountain towards the river bank. The Hezhe hunters in Balk Village pursued these defeated soldiers and killed the civil servants and soldiers who fell behind 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 two companies that had rushed halfway up the Karen Mountain to quickly move westward to block the Russian army's retreat to Shaodazigou.
The Tsarist Russian warships on the Heilongjiang River sank and caught fire. The twenty-odd warships that 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 squads operating the anti-aircraft guns and the guard company to quickly go 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 North 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.
At the foot of the mountain a few hundred meters away, 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 separated by 30 to 40 meters. Russian feet, the spread width actually reached as much as half a verst (a little more than 500 meters, a verst is 1.0688 kilometers.) 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.
Not even a battle line? Who gave you the courage to look down on others like this? !
"Cossacks, line up! Let them have a taste of our power!" Following the officer's loud order, the officers of each row walked to the open space to fight. Other Cossacks also stood up and formed a row on the left side of the officer. In less than two minutes, the three musketeer companies were lined up, with the company commander in the middle, flag-bearers and drummers on both sides, and three rows of musketeers on the left and right. The platoon leader of each row stood on the far right side of the team.
This scene stunned the charging Beihai Navy. Are they not even planning to live? Are you ready to line up and get shot?
The platoon leader of the Beihai Navy who was rushing in front thought to himself: What a bastard! After all these battles, this is the first time I have encountered this! Everyone in the Qing army knows how to run away when bombarded. Did these red-haired people eat something for lunch or were they confused?
In fact, the biggest nightmare for infantry in ancient times 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 large numbers of spears or halberds. When muskets appeared, they replaced the mix of archers and spearmen. Later, after the reforms of Maurice and Gustav, the phalanx became flatter and flatter, and the proportion of musketeers became larger and larger. A hundred years ago, the French invented the sleeve bayonet, and the spearman was completely eliminated. The square formation was flattened into three rows or even one row, creating a typical line infantry tactic.
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 line infantry on the opposite side be doomed? (In fact, many time-travelers do this.)
A word to you, stop dreaming!
Tell a story. It is said that in the later 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 Vasilyevich Sar. Lieutenant General Baneyev, 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 been battle-hardened in the Balkans and Caucasus mountains give full play to their experience in skirmishing, causing considerable damage to the French Second Army that was retreating across the river. In fact, even if the Swiss sharpshooters came over, they would not be as brutal as the Russians - the four Swiss regiments had a total of 1,300 people before the battle, and only 300 were beaten after the war; among them, the Swiss 2nd Infantry Regiment suffered the most heavy losses. Only 2 officers and 12 soldiers survived.
Seems pretty awesome, doesn’t it? But then the French army taught this "expert" a lesson. Marshal Ney of the French army seized the opportunity of the Russian army's loose formation and decisively commanded a total of 400 people from the 4th, 7th, and 14th Cuirassier Regiments and about 700 people from the 2nd, 7th, and 15th Polish Lancers, and braved the unfavorable terrain to launch an offensive. Blast hard. Finally, with the assistance of the French Second Army Infantry Corps, more than a thousand French cavalry defeated two entire Russian infantry divisions, not only capturing more than 600 prisoners of war, but also eliminating the Russian threat to the French flank. The chase lasted 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?"
"I don't care whether he dies or not! Your command is to attack, to destroy!" Monk Zhou shouted angrily, and then ordered the machine gun team who followed him: "Hit me hard, as long as there is still one standing, You can’t stop!”
After saying that, he put on an arrogant posture, held an assault rifle and opened fire at the Tsarist Russian infantry three hundred meters away.
have to! The company commander has spoken, so let’s fight.
Under the crossfire of nine machine guns, the Cossacks holding their muskets with their chests raised and heads raised were like targets. Streams of blood mist accompanied by broken limbs exploded among the Tsarist Russian infantry, while 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 Fusiliers Regiment survived, and none of the officers survived.
Monk Zhou didn't 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 men to clean up the battlefield, while he led his team to chase north along the river bank. go out.
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 the 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 kind who will be the emperor in the future.
In fact, among the people in Beihai Town, except for a former young eunuch, Chun Lai, and a few old eunuchs who were gatekeepers, no one had ever seen the real emperor. And because these former eunuchs were once seriously attached to and excessively worshiped the imperial power, the emperor they heard from them did not belong 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 decree; if I ask God for rain today, tomorrow there will be sweet rain everywhere.
The True Dragon Emperor, what else could he be if he wasn't 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 people to the foot of the mountain, the advance guards and others 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 they all stabbed them with bayonets when they died. Whether it's someone with a punctured intestine or stomach, someone missing arms or legs, or someone just lying down and 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 a horse, 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 copied by others. Way back.”
Twenty minutes ago, the Qing troops on the second line of defense in the north of Heilongjiang City were ready to retreat, but they found that Rakshasa turned around and walked away. At this time, no matter how stupid the Qing army was, they knew that this must be related to the constant explosions in the north.
"Where did the volunteers 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 is it Gesanda (the township head) who has such great appeal that he can actually summon the Qianhe philosophers? Yes, Eldemubu believed that without thousands of people, such a big battle would definitely not be possible.
Moreover, after such a great victory, those Hezhe righteous people must have suffered heavy casualties.
At this time, if someone told Eldemubu that the rebel bandits from the south were coming, he would definitely not believe it. There are thousands of miles of waterway. Even if you take a boat from Ninggu Pagoda to get here, it will take a month. What's more, Ninggu Pagoda now has tens of thousands of troops gathered. Zhao Ni wants to come to Heilongjiang City and conquer the world, so he has to get there first. Ask Marshal Ming if he will answer.
(Liangming, who was in a coma, raised his hand and had no objection at all!)
Although the 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 arrive, he will definitely be the first to lead them out.
So the brave cavalry school who led fifty Sauron soldiers to destroy the Cossack cavalry received new orders to scout north to find out the enemy's movements and the location of reinforcements, and let the unknown Hezhe leader come to Heilongjiang City. See.
The fire in the old city of Aihui is still going on. Built in the eighth year of Yongle in the Ming Dynasty, this is the oldest military fortress in Heilongjiang and 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. The horses did not run away and were well tied. Then the guards searched the courtyard carefully and soon found a half-sized boy in the corner of a wing.
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 a master from Chenjiagou? Chen Jishan had quick eyesight and quickly retreated backwards. When the opponent's strength was exhausted, he pushed the kid on the shoulder with his right hand. Then the half-grown kid spun around on the ground a few times with the knife, and then fell down with a thud. 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, we 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? Is this horse 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 waited for a while, then stumbled extremely 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 a child in such a remote place 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?"
"Eniang has been gone for a long time. She got separated from her family last night."
"Is this horse yours?"
"Yes, I pulled them out of the burning courtyard. If I didn't save them, they would be burned to death."
Zhao Xin kept looking at 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?
"It's just an 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: "You can't do this. Rakshasa uses 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, get on 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 said, "Listen to the adults and leave quickly. The city is too dangerous. The fire may come over at any time."
The group of people walked out of the west gate of Aihui Old City in the smoke and fire, and then headed north.
