"What's going on?" Khabarov heard this and immediately frowned, "Is it possible that those eastern natives have come back to save their people?"
Apart from that, he couldn't think of other possibilities.
After hesitating for a while, he said to Rovinsky: "How about you continue here and I take my people to guard the back?"
After Rovinsky heard this, looking at Khabarov's expression, he knew why he hesitated, so he immediately nodded and replied: "Go, you will not be missing from the things in the stockade!"
Khabarov felt relieved when he heard this, and immediately shouted to his men and rushed to the rear to set up defenses to avoid being attacked by the Sauron people inside and outside.
But Rovinsky ignored him. Seeing the crowds on the stockade, he immediately ordered his gunner: "Go forward, aim at the wooden stockade gate, and blast hard!"
Naturally, the artillery they carry cannot be that kind of heavy artillery, otherwise it would be too troublesome to come all the way.
However, light artillery has a short range and needs to be pushed close enough to exert its power.
Fortunately, the natives they faced had very few iron weapons. The only thing that posed a greater threat to them was the spear gun. However, their flintlock guns have a longer range than shuttle guns, so they can well protect against the advance of artillery.
The Sauron people in the walled city had already seen how powerful the devil's artillery was. When they saw the devil approaching with the cannon, they all became anxious.
Those young and strong men threw spears outside one after another.
"Whoosh whoosh whoosh..."
"Puff puff……"
It is a pity that the landing point of the spear is really very close. Only occasionally the spear thrown by a few very strong Sauron people can throw it farther.
However, the trajectories of individual spear gun throws were visible to the naked eye. They were either easily avoided, or were directly deflected by the flintlock gun. They did not hurt the devils at all, but instead caused those devils to laugh.
It was also the spear guns they threw that stuck on the ground, which clearly identified the range of the spear guns.
The Tsarist Russian colonists stopped not far from the spears embedded in the ground, and the fusiliers stood in rows on guard. The artillerymen began to deploy the artillery, and there was no need to specifically aim. The village gate was not far ahead.
"Boom boom boom..."
The deafening sound of artillery soon sounded, and almost at the same time, three big holes appeared in the door of the wooden village, which was like paper.
Among the pieces of wood and sawdust flying around, it could be seen that there were Sauron people inside who were hit by iron bullets. Their flesh and blood immediately flew everywhere and became a mess.
When the Tsarist Russian fusiliers outside saw it, they all burst into laughter, as if the movements inside the walled city were a good show in their eyes. In other words, they just like to see the tragedy of the Sauron people.
Yes, because they caused the tragedy of Sauron.
The artilleryman was also watching the show, and seemed not to be satisfied with the effect, so he was busy loading again, preparing to fire the next shot.
Rovinsky, who was in command, looked at the movements in the walled city with a sinister smile. Suddenly, he shouted loudly: "Be careful, those Sauron people may rush out to fight, so be alert!"
Everyone can see that the village gate is useless and probably won't be able to withstand the next round of artillery bombardment.
The Sauron people are not stupid. They know that defense is useless, so it is not difficult to understand why they rush out and fight for their lives.
However, under three rounds of fire from the fusiliers, these Saurons had to fight to their death if they wanted to.
These Tsarist Russian colonists were not worried at all and just waited for the Saurons to rush out.
However, at this moment, suddenly, there was movement from behind.
"Bang bang bang..." The sound of intensive musketry came from far behind the Tsarist Russian colonists.
Hearing this movement, Rovinsky couldn't help but turn his head and look over, frowning. Judging from the intensity of the gunfire, it seemed that the Sauron people were attacking very fiercely, so there was a lot of gunfire on Khabarov's side.
Not only him, but also the Tsarist Russian fusiliers all turned their heads and looked behind when they heard the sound, and there was a lot of discussion for a while.
"I can't tell that these natives are so loyal that they actually came back to save people!"
"With such a big movement, could it be that the Sauron people over there have already tried their best first?"
"Haha, no matter how hard you fight, it's just risking your life. Everyone is a stupid pig, and they are throwing themselves at the gunpoint!"
"If they weren't stupid, we would be sad."
"..."
When Rovinsky heard their chatter, he shouted loudly: "What are you doing? What are you doing? There's a war going on. The Sauron people in the walled city are about to rush out. Why don't you cheer up? You're really going to get killed by them." , is it a shame?”
As soon as he scolded these fusiliers, they turned their heads with a little disapproval and looked towards the direction of the walled city. Holding their flintlock rifles, they waited for the Sauron people inside the walled city to rush out.
However, the gunshots behind them kept ringing.
Rovinsky was a little upset, and suddenly felt something, so he turned around and saw a group of people running towards him in the distance.
He knew at a glance that it was Khabarov's man.
Immediately, Rovinsky was shocked.
Because what he saw was that Khabarov's men were running away in a panic, even throwing away their flintlocks and running this way as hard as they could. It was as if something very scary was chasing them behind them.
"What's the situation?" Rovinsky couldn't figure it out at this glance, and wondered in his heart, "With those Sauron people, no matter how many people try their best, it's impossible for them to be able to defeat them in such a short period of time. Force Khabarov’s men to flee in disgrace!”
There are about seventy people and more than seventy flintlock guns forming a defensive gun array. Even if those Sauron people attack, it will be impossible to break through! Unless the gunpowder is used up!
The Tsarist Russian fusiliers also noticed something was wrong, turned around again, and looked at this scene in surprise. Even the artillerymen stopped moving, surprised and wondering what was happening.
It was then that they sensed something was wrong.
"Is this an earthquake?" As soon as Rovinsky said it, his expression suddenly changed and he said, "Cavalry, there are cavalry coming..."
The Cossacks were of course familiar with the movements of the cavalry. However, as far as they knew, the Sauron people did not have many horses. Only the leader and a few others had horses.
However, based on the movement he felt, the number of the cavalry was definitely not small!
What's happening here?
Besides, based on the number of cavalry that I feel, I should be able to hear the movement of the cavalry very early, right? Even if the sound of gunfire and artillery was covered up before, it couldn't be covered up, right?
While Rovinsky was thinking about it, a cavalry army appeared in his field of vision, a real cavalry army, not Saurons on horseback.
I saw those knights, all wearing red clothes and waving uniform sabers, quickly approaching the fleeing Tsarist Russian colonists.
As soon as he saw this, Rovinsky immediately understood why Khabarov's people ran away in such embarrassment!
However, this cavalry army was obviously a regular army. Where did they come from?
Just when Rovinsky thought of this, the information he heard before suddenly appeared in his mind: the Sauron people asked for help from the Ming Empire.
By the way, if we talk about the origin of this cavalry army, the most likely possibility is that it is the cavalry army of the Ming Empire!
However, what is the use of understanding this?
Rovinsky's expression changed drastically, and he immediately shouted loudly: "Everyone turn back and prepare to fight, quick!"
The fusiliers quickly turned around to deal with the biggest crisis. As soon as they turned around, they saw the cavalry in the distance waving their shining sabers. The heads of those fleeing Khabarov's men shot up into the sky, while their bodies fell towards them. toward the ground.
Tsarist Russian colonists have always been very enthusiastic about eastward expansion, not only because they can grab the furs and other wealth they want, but also because their opponents in the process of eastward expansion are very weak and vulnerable.
But at this time, they saw their accomplices running away in fear, and then being overtaken by the majestic cavalry. The corpses were separated and fell in front of them one by one.
At this time, they were afraid!
Not only was the scene in front of them shocking them, but also because they saw a large number of cavalry, which kept appearing in front of them.
Moreover, they also knew that the flintlock guns in their hands could not stop the high-speed charging cavalry troops.
The rumble of horse hooves, like the beating of a drum, struck in the heart of every Tsarist Russian colonist.
All of them knew that with the appearance of so many regular cavalry, they were doomed.
The fear of death spread uncontrollably in the hearts of these Tsarist Russian colonists.
In fact, many of these Tsarist Russian colonists were not regular Tsarist Russian troops, but were prisoners of Tsarist Russia, bankrupts, people who wanted to get rich, etc.
It's okay to use the firearms in their hands to bully the natives, and even bully the Manchus who stayed outside the customs, but once they really encounter a strong enemy, they are actually nothing.
At this time, they felt the fear of death. When they saw at least three hundred regular cavalry taking the lives of their companions and charging towards them, some of them collapsed.
I saw a Tsarist Russian fusilier suddenly running out of the queue and running towards their camp. There are some horses somewhere. As long as he can seize the horse and run away, he might be able to escape!
The best thing is that if those accomplices are resisting, then the probability of escape is greater.
However, once this first "smart" man ran away, the other Tsarist Russian colonists were not stupid either. Why didn't they run away?
As a result, before Rovinsky could react, these Tsarist Russian fusiliers collapsed and ran towards their camp one by one.
Rovinsky wanted to yell and scold him, but there was no way he could run away.
However, when he opened his mouth, no sound came out, and he immediately turned around and ran away.
However, he did not follow the flow of people towards the camp. Instead, he was different and fled towards the woods.
Obviously, he had the idea that if there were too many people running towards the camp, the cavalry would definitely chase those fools. If he ran in the other direction, it would be easier for him to escape and ascend to heaven!
