"retreat!"
The soldiers of Tsarist Russia were slightly startled when they saw the retreat order coming from the city wall.
The situation is obviously good now. Why retreat?
But the military orders were like mountains. Although they didn't understand them, they still followed the orders and retreated.
But at this moment, it's too late.
Boom!
The artillery array set up by Long Yanjun fired artillery fire desperately.
Because Long Yan's artillery had the advantage of having a long range, it was easy to completely block the retreat route of the Russian army.
The Tsarist Russian army stared at countless artillery fires cutting off their retreat, and their hearts trembled!
On the city wall, Polnev saw that the escape route was blocked by the artillery fire of the Dragon Flame Army. He clenched his fists. The hateful Dragon Flame people actually played such a despicable trick!
Confuse him with retreat!
Polnev's anger welled up in his heart, and he thought hard about how to break the situation.
Now the Tsarist Russian garrison in Poland City has not all been dispatched, but he has left part of it behind.
The Tsarist Russian army, cut off from its retreat route, could only continue to advance.
It was not that Polnev had not thought about using Tsarist Russian artillery to provide a wave of support to allow the Tsarist Russian army to withdraw.
However, the range of the Tsarist Russian artillery is far less than the range of the Longyan artillery, and now the front line is occupied by its own Tsarist Russian army. If an artillery attack is launched, only the Tsarist Russian army will suffer.
They can't support it.
The supporting troops will only die under the fierce bombardment of Longyan Army.
There is flat land outside Poland City with no cover. If this continues, the Tsarist Russian army will suffer heavy casualties under the bombardment of Longyan Army.
Under Long Yan's countless artillery fire, the Tsarist Russian troops covering these troops suddenly suffered numerous casualties.
Polnev hammered the city wall violently, his eyes blazing with fire.
"Damn the Dragon Flame Man!" Polnev gritted his teeth.
"Send my order, launch a fierce attack, and continue the pursuit!"
Polnev issued a crazy order. Everyone who heard the order knew that in doing so, the general was treating the unretreatable Tsarist Russian troops as death squads.
Under such intensive bombardment by the Long Yan Army, it is indeed difficult for any army to survive.
Polnev looked grim and was breathing heavily. The Dragon Flame Army was forcing him to give up this army.
Their only way to survive now is to get close to Long Yan's army and engage in hand-to-hand combat.
Let Long Yanjun give up the idea of bombardment and switch to close combat.
Tsarist Russia has an unparalleled advantage in hand-to-hand combat among all armies in the world.
They have the most ferocious troops in the world, and this characteristic will be most vividly displayed during hand-to-hand combat.
This is the glory of their Russian army!
Polnev looked at the battlefield with cold eyes. After sacrificing many people, the Tsarist Russian army was still close to the Long Yan Army and the Ottoman Army.
Hamid frowned slightly when he saw this scene.
"We cannot let the Tsarist Russian army get close. Their hand-to-hand combat is notoriously fierce. Our army will suffer a lot." Hamid immediately issued a military order.
Let the Long Yan Army and the Ottoman Army continue to retreat.
But King Yong shook his head and said calmly: "Our current advantage will be gone when we retreat."
"The previous retreat was due to our plan, but now the Russian army is at an absolute disadvantage and cannot withdraw."
"This kind of inexplicable retreat will greatly reduce our morale!" King Yong stopped Hamid and said seriously.
Hamid frowned, even though Long Yanjun had fought a war with Tsarist Russia.
But Long Yanjun may not have that deep understanding of the Russian army.
But the Ottomans and the Tsarist Russian army are feuding, and their understanding of their army is definitely much deeper than that of Long Yan.
Tsarist Russia's army, no matter which army it is, will always have an advantage in hand-to-hand combat.
And it is an irresistible advantage.
Due to the influence of the Industrial Revolution, the current combat methods have changed a lot, and the same is true for the Tsarist Russian army. They have removed the traditional long-handled weapons. Although the shields exist, they weaken the protective properties.
It turned into small shields, suitable for carrying.
Due to the emergence of thermal weapons, the original long-handled weapons were difficult to carry on the battlefield, so the Tsarist Russian army was equipped with sabers.
But even the weakened Tsarist Russian army was still sharp and invincible in hand-to-hand combat.
King Yong glanced at Hamid and said, "Let the soldiers put on their bayonets and the shield soldiers come forward!"
"Form an advancing formation!" King Yong ordered in a deep voice.
Long Yanjun also had different armies due to the industrial revolution.
The bayonet is one of the inventions. It is a weapon attached to the gun. When combined with the gun, it becomes a long-handled weapon.
The Long Yan Army did not cancel the shield, but instead evolved a special unit, the shield soldier. They were responsible for coordinating hand-to-hand combat and created many formation changes to restrain the enemy.
Long Yan's army was beating drums in a low voice, and a flag officer wanted to move the flag to convey King Yong's order.
Hamid didn't say anything more, but he felt worried in his heart.
The Tsarist Russian army was not afraid of death. Even under heavy artillery fire, they still maintained extremely high combat qualities.
But without the protection of the city wall, they suffered many casualties.
The remaining troops quickly approached Long Yan's army and started hand-to-hand combat. The sabers they carried were not considered long-handled weapons.
It's just a melee weapon.
After experiencing a wave of fighting, I heard the sound of drums and the orders sent by the flag officer.
The Long Yan Army and the Ottoman Army formed a formation, with the shield soldiers in front and the soldiers holding bayonets behind.
The Tsarist Russian army retreated steadily in the face of Long Yan's army's offensive.
Although I don't understand why Long Yanjun's spear has a bayonet attached to it, this long-handled weapon made of a gun does prevent the Tsarist Russian army's saber from exerting its power.
On the city wall, Polnev saw the Tsarist Russian army being defeated steadily by the Longyan Army using this weird thing.
Polnev clenched his fists so hard that blood oozed from his palms.
Now the Tsarist Russian army's close combat was severely restrained by Long Yan's army.
"Damn the Dragon Flame Man!" Polnev was hysterical.
The current situation on the battlefield is extremely unfavorable to them. If Long Yan's army uses this tactic, it will be difficult for the Tsarist Russian army to break through.
At this moment, a group of cavalry rushed into the battlefield.
The formation of the Longyan people was torn apart, and countless Ottomans and Longyan people died under the iron cavalry. Although the bayonet was long enough, it was still too weak to face the invading cavalry.
King Yong frowned and couldn't figure out where this team of cavalry came from.
The ambush troops of the Tsarist Russian army had long been killed quietly by their own Longyan special forces.
King Yong sighed. With the appearance of the cavalry, the Ottoman army and the Long Yan Army would not be able to attack Poland City for the time being.
"Ming Jin, please withdraw your troops. We had no intention of attacking the city today." King Yong said calmly.
Hamid nodded. It is true. Attacking the city is the most difficult. Although the Polish city has been defeated today.
They even wiped out many defenders in the Polish city, but it was obviously impossible to break the city in one day.
