When Liangzhou's Yuanyang Formation arrived at the scene, Rumyantsev immediately withdrew the Cossack cavalry.
But during this period, Liangzhou's spearmen and Yuanyang Formation, which could specifically target cavalry, had already killed many Cossack cavalry. But fortunately, they retreated fairly quickly. Next, Tsarist Russia's famous infantry appeared. These infantrymen were equipped with quite thick equipment. In the most barbaric era of Tsarist Russia, these infantrymen all held a shield in one hand and a hammer in the other. Because their individual fighting power is very strong, when they fight like this, they pay attention to being tough.
Tough.
The tough Tsarist Russians faced the well-organized and disciplined Long Yan army. This was destined to be an evenly matched battle.
Hundreds of thousands of people, versus hundreds of thousands of people.
It has to be said that this war will be the largest and most brutal war that Long Yan has seen in the past few hundred years.
At this time, the cavalry took the initiative to take on the responsibility of attacking in a roundabout way.
The real battlefield is still a battle between infantry.
You have a knife, I have a shot.
I cut through your armor with my sword, and you pierced my arm guard with your spear.
In this case, even artillery is useless.
Tsarist Russia was the party that launched the general offensive. For the soldiers of Tsarist Russia, they had stayed in Longyan for too long, so they did not want to continue. They were individuals and missed home. They wanted to end this war as soon as possible. Go home and see your wife and children.
But to Long Yan's soldiers, Yanqi City was something they could never give up. If they gave up, Long Yan's northwest gate would be completely opened, and the people behind them, their wives and children, would be persecuted. Therefore, this time they went out of the city to fight, they were already in ruins.
"kill!"
"kill!"
The morale of both sides was quite strong, their faces were ferocious, and there was no life or death in their eyes.
kill!
No one knows how long this war will last. I only know that as the war continues, debris and limbs have begun to fly everywhere, and smelly blood has begun to flow in various ways, and it has even begun to hinder people's steps to kill.
…
"This Zou Sheng..."
Rumyantsev took a deep breath.
He really didn't expect that Zou Sheng would take such a risk before. Sure enough, young people are young people... He dared to take advantage of this one percent chance!
Of course, this is also what Rumyantsev believes is the most difficult way for them.
Just like that, he was selected by Zou Sheng.
He couldn't help but smile bitterly. Now, this Zou Sheng was no longer his "student". He could be called his equal. No, he should be stronger than him. Because if it were him, he would not dare to take such a risk and encounter a battle outside the city.
"Marshal...what should we do now?"
The generals under his command did not expect such a thing to happen.
They looked at each other.
At this moment, the siege equipment and artillery they had prepared were completely useless.
Rumyantsev took a deep breath: "Look at the willpower of our soldiers here!"
Yes.
He was quite confident in the personal combat effectiveness of Tsarist Russia's soldiers.
However, the battlefield is like this, and just having strong combat effectiveness is not enough. What’s more important is willpower! The reason why he has such worries is that the military rations in Tsarist Russia are not very sufficient recently. Many soldiers go to the battlefield hungry. This matter has a great impact on morale. The second is that this time the Longyan people are fighting with all their might and carrying the coffin. He also knew that although the individual combat effectiveness of the Longyan people was not as good as that of Tsarist Russia, their resilience was quite strong.
Therefore, at this time, the test is the willpower of the Russian soldiers.
as expected.
The first day's battle ended in an evenly matched situation.
The melee between the two sides was so brutal that it was unbearable to watch. When it got dark and the two sides retreated together, there were only 30,000 corpses left on the field!
Thirty thousand corpses!
Even if the person is standing there and asked to be killed, how long will it take to kill him?
"How's the army ration going?"
Rumyantsev's face was a little solemn.
The deputy general next to him said: "Marshal, the scouts are here to report that a large amount of military rations will arrive tonight!"
Rumyantsev breathed a sigh of relief: "Convey this good news to every military camp!"
"yes!"
Rumyantsev did not expect that the situation on the first day would become so intense. He originally thought that Tsarist Russia would have some advantages, but obviously, the Longyan people were really not afraid of death when fighting. On the first day, they lost 16,000, and Long Yan lost 14,000...the injured were countless.
horrible.
Rumyantsev had an ominous premonition in his heart.
If this continues, the first to lose their mentality will be their Tsarist Russian army.
"It's difficult..."
He couldn't help it and sighed.
Tonight, he really wanted to send a letter to Peter. This war would end like this... In this case, his 200,000 troops could still be brought back alive. But if it continues, the outcome may be uncertain... However, he knows Peter's character. As long as he decides something, ten horses can't pull him back.
I can only resist.
Once the army rations arrive, everything will be easy to explain.
At least morale can be stabilized.
"Tell the officers and soldiers in each battalion that as long as they can capture Yanqi, they will be rewarded, a big reward!"
Rumyantsev ordered.
Immediately, the entire camp began to cheer.
He could only do this. This was a battle without any conspiracy or any other method.
It is a real competition of combat effectiveness.
Then, under the heavy reward, there must be a brave man!
He can only push what he can do to the limit! As for fate, it can only be left to fate.
…
But here, the morale of Long Yan's soldiers who returned to Yanqi City was at high levels.
"we won!"
"Won!"
"It turns out that these idiots are not that scary!"
"Hahahaha! Fuck them to death, Fuck them to death!"
In today's battle loss ratio, Long Yan had the advantage. This improved the morale of the troops in no small way. Once upon a time, wherever the Tsarist Russian soldiers went, they were invincible representatives and a natural fighting nation. But today, here in Long Yan, they didn't get any good things!
Long Yanren is really ruthless.
When you have a weapon, you hold it. When you don't have a weapon, you hit with your hands, bite with your mouth, whatever you do. Who is not afraid of this fighting will?
Looking at the cheering soldiers, Zou Sheng also breathed a sigh of relief.
At least on the first day, they didn't lose the battle.
But what happens after that?
At this time, everyone's nerves were tense.
I am afraid that once someone breaks it, I will be defeated like a mountain.
He felt that he still couldn't be so optimistic.
