Du Wenying went to the battlefield for the first time. He looked nervously at the situation on the battlefield.
He noticed several black figures flashing across the front, and because he was too nervous, the hand holding the gun directly pulled the trigger.
The bang of a gunshot directly attracted everyone's attention.
"Sir, there are enemies ahead. This should be a Russian scout."
Ma Kaiyuan looked at the situation ahead. Dozens of people were riding horses and running leisurely on the grassland.
They were now thousands of meters apart, and they could only see a blurry figure, and they couldn't even see clearly what the person was wearing.
Ma Kaiyuan was originally planning to get closer and then suddenly launched an attack.
Du Wenying's gunshot directly destroyed his tactics.
The sound of the Dahua Empire pistol is very unique. The Russian army and the Dahua Empire often had small-scale frictions in the past.
They were already familiar with the sound of pistols and could tell that an enemy attack was coming even when they were far away and couldn't see the person clearly.
In the flash of lightning, Ma Kaiyuan had no time to rebuke Du Wenying. He immediately ordered: "Everyone, follow me and charge down the Russian scouts."
Their number is about the same as the Russian army opposite.
The imperial army also often had small skirmishes with the Russian army.
Both armies are used to small groups of troops from the other side entering their defense zones.
Ma Kaiyuan thought about it from his perspective. If he encountered a small group of Russian troops near the Kazakh tribe, would he run away?
He has the exact answer in his heart and will never run away.
The camp is far behind. As long as you send someone to ask for help, the army will arrive in a short time to support you.
Even if they are defeated, as long as they can hold back the enemy, it will be a great achievement.
Ma Kaiyuan thought this way, and he believed that the Russian army on the opposite side had similar ideas.
If you encounter a small group of enemy troops and run away in front of the camp, doesn't that mean you are a coward?
As long as he is a man in the military and has a sense of honor as a soldier, he will not do this.
Ma Kaiyuan led the cavalry and began to accelerate. The Dahua Empire's war horses were very explosive, setting off bursts of smoke and dust on the grass.
When he saw the Russian cavalry on the opposite side, he did not choose to escape.
They dismounted from their horses and formed two lines.
The soldiers at the front were in a half-kneeling position.
They held the matchlocks in their hands, ready to fire at any time.
When Ma Kaiyuan and other cavalry division officers saw this situation, they felt strong confidence in their hearts.
They all already use breech-loading guns, and the Russian army is still using matchlocks. The gap between the two armies is too big.
This is simply a strong man bullying a two or three-year-old child.
Ma Kaiyuan saw the Russian army using this method, but did not rush over with a knife.
The Russian army also learned from previous lessons. In the past, this defensive method resulted in the lowest casualties.
Mainly the previous scouts will not fight the Russian army for too long.
They would shoot from a distance, drive back the Russian scouts, and then leave with the intelligence they collected.
Today is different from the past, the rear is the main force, and their task is to prevent the main force from being exposed prematurely.
Ma Kaiyuan had already seen a Russian soldier leaving on a war horse.
But the news he received was that dozens of cavalry were attacking. This was normal and would not attract the attention of the Russian camp.
Ma Kaiyuan could already clearly see the face of the Russian army on the opposite side. He reined in the reins slightly to slow down the horse.
He raised his gun and shouted loudly: "Brothers, the time has come for meritorious service.
We surrounded the pair of scouts and cleared the way for the army to advance. "
Ma Kaiyuan was galloping on a war horse, but his upper body did not shake much.
He steadily picked up the pistol and fired at a nervous Russian soldier in front.
"Hit me, hit me hard."
The sound of a gun is an order.
The sound of pistols rang out one after another.
Dorsky felt a pain in his chest, his arms could no longer use their strength, and the matchlock fell directly to the ground.
He knew immediately that he had been shot.
Before his head hit the ground, he heard screams coming from beside him.
He is a squad leader of the Russian scouts.
After receiving orders from superiors, patrolling near the camp is a relatively safe task.
Under normal circumstances, the Dahua Empire's troops would not approach the main camp because they were afraid of being surrounded.
Today's patrol was almost over, and he found a Dahua army with less than a hundred people.
Dorsky guessed that this might be because they didn't know which direction their camp was located?
The Dahua army was confused and ran directly into it.
He only needs to lead the troops to hold on for a short while, and the reinforcements in the camp will feel it.
Eating these Dahua Empire troops will be the greatest victory achieved by the Russian army before coming here.
He was not that group of stupid Cossacks. He immediately asked his soldiers to get into formation and use muskets to teach the Dahua Empire army.
Dorsky regretted it extremely. He heard from his colleagues that the army of the Great China Empire was very scary like wolves and tigers.
He believed that these people were cowardly and that they were not very capable, so they were beaten miserably by the Dahua Empire's army.
He did not expect that the firearms of the Dahua Empire would fire too fast and have a relatively long range.
As soon as they lit the match, they were shot and fell to the ground.
Ma Kaiheng saw smoke rising from the opposite side.
People around him screamed one after another and were hit by Russian matchlock guns.
He pulled out a pistol again from his waist with his left hand.
He controlled the direction of the war horse with his legs, fired continuously with both hands, and suppressed the Russian army with bullets.
This small-scale conflict ended quickly.
Ma Kaiyuan ordered: "Check the weapons and ammunition, especially the magazines must be fully loaded.
Two people were left to treat the wounded, while the rest followed me and continued deeper. "
Du Wenying got off the horse and looked a little dazed.
He put his arms around the horse's neck and kept murmuring: "I killed someone, I killed someone."
When Du Wenying thought of the Russian soldier he killed, his head exploded, and all the red and white stuff came out.
When he thought about this situation, he immediately felt uncomfortable in his stomach and wanted to vomit but couldn't.
Ma Kaiyuan came over, patted Du Wenying on the shoulder and said: "You are a new soldier, and it is your first time to experience the cruelty of the battlefield.
It's normal to feel a little uncomfortable at first.
This time you will stay and take care of the wounded soldiers.
The large army will arrive soon and hand over the wounded soldiers to the field hospital.
I hope you can adapt to the battlefield environment as soon as possible.
If you feel unwell now, I will take care of you.
When the war really begins, if you are still unable to adapt to the battlefield, your life will probably be lost. "
Du Wenying barely controlled her expression and said firmly: "Sir, I know that I performed very poorly this time.
Please rest assured, sir, I will definitely overcome the fear in my heart and adapt to the battlefield environment as soon as possible. "
Ma Kaiyuan led the scouts and continued to go deeper.
They did not encounter any Russian scouts along the way.
In the Russian forward camp, Eric Komikov was listening to the scouts' continuous reports.
In all directions to the east, small groups of troops from the Great China Empire were found.
This situation was very suspicious, and he already smelled something different.
He immediately called for Kandel, the commander of the Cossack cavalry.
Kandel walked into the camp wearing light armor and a sword hanging on his waist.
"General Eric, what do you want from me?"
Eric Komikov ordered: "Commander Kandel, I now order the Cossack cavalry to enter a state of combat readiness.
All must be ready for action. "
Kandel's eyes lit up and he asked excitedly: "Has Commander-in-Chief Vladimir Sergeyev decided to attack the Great China Empire?
I have suggested before that before the Great China Empire is ready for war, we use the power of thunder to break through the Great China Empire's defense line.
I read our opponent carefully and it is a very difficult opponent.
As long as there is no problem in the Dahua Empire, it is basically impossible for us to invade the hinterland of the Dahua Empire.
They can only break through the Tumfu-Balkhash Lake defense line.
As long as Tumu Mansion can be captured, most of the goals the Tsar wants to achieve can be accomplished.
Tumu Mansion is much richer than Tangnu Ulianghai, so our place should be the main direction of attack. "
General Eric Komikov saw some complaints from the Cossack cavalry commander Kandel.
No one has any complaints about the Russian army in Kazakhstan.
There were rumors in the army that Commander Vladimir Sergeyev agreed to help some nobles on condition.
Only then can they obtain a large amount of domestic material assistance.
Otherwise, they are just outcasts responsible for harassing the Great China Empire.
General Eric Komikoff shook his head and said: "The scouts in the east of the camp reported one after another that they found traces of multiple groups of Great China Empire cavalry.
This situation is very unusual and we need to be vigilant. "
Kandel knew General Eric Komikoff as a person.
Especially since he is just a minor nobleman behind him, not known as a big nobleman, but he can climb so high in the Russian army, so he must have real abilities.
"General Eric Komikov, I will go down immediately to make arrangements.
On the steppe, our Kazakh cavalry has no fear of anyone.
The bravery of the Kazakh cavalry is famous in Eastern Europe.
Our Cossack cavalry is an elite force, and it is by no means the Cossack waste that was reared and wasted by the colonization before. "
General Eric Komikov saw Kandel leave.
He stared at the map and kept thinking. The Tsar ordered the Russian army to attack the Great China Empire.
He was not optimistic about the outcome of this war.
The Dahua Empire is an extremely powerful country.
For the Russian army to engage in a full-scale war with such a country, it must undergo a long period of preparation instead of conducting a surprise attack.
Others can't change the direction of things with their words. They can only do their job well and give the Russian troops under his command a chance to return to their hometown.
…………………………
Zhang Wansi put down the telescope. He could already see the outline of the Russian forward camp through the telescope.
This is due to the fact that the airship has locked the position of the Russian camp in advance, so that the cavalry division will not run in the wrong direction.
"The Russian generals are very capable. I thought I could succeed in the raid, but now I find that the camp opposite is in good order."
Zhang Wansi raised the telescope again and carefully watched the situation in the Russian camp.
The war horses are approaching the Russian camp, and the telescope can see it more clearly.
The Russian army camp is now ready and has formed a military formation.
In the center is a phalanx composed of five thousand Russian infantry.
They held muskets and formed a three-stage array, which was a typical formation of queuing to kill.
On the periphery of the musketeers, there were also pikemen guarding the perimeter.
The long spear, which is about three meters long, is specially customized for cavalry and can prevent cavalry from rushing into battle.
On both sides of the infantry, there were large numbers of Cossack cavalry ready for battle.
They wore light armor and carried steel knives, and few chose to carry muskets.
These are the Cossack cavalry, cavalry who are about to be eliminated by the times and don't know it yet.
Zhang Wansi put down the telescope again and said firmly: "If you want to fight, then fight."
The Russian army noticed something strange in advance and they were unable to complete the raid.
The Royal Army Cavalry Division of Dahua will never be afraid of a head-on battle.
Zhang Wansi wants to use absolute strength to crush the pride of the Russian army and make them realize how desperate it is to provoke the Great China Empire.
His orders continued to be issued, and the flag soldiers waved flags and mobilized the cavalry divisions to form troops.
Zhang Wansi saw that the cavalry division had dispersed, and he issued the last order.
"Inform the artillery battalion and blow it up hard for me.
Let them see the power of the King of War.
The Russian army on the opposite side has relatively complete weapons and equipment, but it only lacks artillery.
We use artillery to suppress the enemy's movements. "
Zhang Wansi used artillery to boost the morale of the army.
Even if he is a new recruit in the Royal Army of China, he knows the power of artillery.
Zhang Wansi is confident that no army can withstand the indiscriminate bombardment of artillery.
…………………………
General Eric Komikov prepared the Cossack cavalry for battle.
He was still worried and sent scouts to explore the east.
In case the scouts were ambushed, there was no way to get the message back.
The method chosen by General Eric Komikov was to send a firework to each scout.
According to the calculations of the small group of troops, if it is as he guessed, the number of Dahua troops that will attack will definitely not be small.
When the scouts actually encountered the main force of Dahua's army, they lit up fireworks and passed the news back.
General Eric Komikoff expected this approach to work wonders.
If his guess is correct, the main force of the Dahua army is not too far away from the camp, and the sound of the fireworks will definitely be heard back.
General Eric Komikov issued orders one after another, and the camp became busy again.
He arranged everything and looked at the eastern sky.
I only saw two specially-made fireworks with exquisite patterns exploding in the sky.
The scout has completed his mission. Based on the abnormalities on the battlefield, his guess was correct.
The Dahua Empire did not sit still and wait for death, but took the initiative to attack them.
This is also in line with the character of the Dahua Empire.
Since the founding of the Great China Empire, its territory has almost doubled.
Colonies have expanded to the Mediterranean coast.
This country is definitely not a country waiting for enemies to attack.
The camp avoided being attacked by the Dahua army.
General Eric Komikov was confident of holding the camp.
But he also sent a messenger to inform Count Vladimir Sergeyev in the rear, letting the entire army realize that the Great China Empire army had launched an attack.
General Eric Komikov issued various orders in an orderly manner.
Kandel, the commander of the Cossack cavalry, received the order and rushed out of the camp with the Cossack cavalry.
Around the east of the camp, the cavalry was arranged in formation.
He saw General Eric Komikov, leading a group of well-trained infantrymen out of the camp.
They are ready for the attack of the Dahua Empire army.
Kandel looked east at the clouds of smoke raised by the rapid passage of the cavalry.
With his experience, the attacking Dahua Empire cavalry numbered about 10,000.
If the camp is really successfully raided by the Dahua Empire army.
The Cossack cavalry trapped the camp. They were like lambs waiting to be slaughtered, with no power to resist.
Now that the Cossack cavalry is ready, let these Chinese people see the real Cossack cavalry.
