Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    The cavalry from both sides charged with great momentum, but at the moment of the battle, they were silent. In Shi Dakai's eyes, the two cavalry groups were as if they were in a round, without making any loud noise as expected.  {} The Mongolian cannon fodder cavalry does not have many strong horses, and Mongolia is also trying to avoid its own shortcomings. The strong horses charge, the Mongolian horses break the enemy from both wings, and the Mongolian elite behind the cannon fodder, it is a complete fight.  A battle of encirclement and annihilation.  The two groups of cavalry engaged in battle, and Shi Dakai no longer chatted with Turgut Khan. He just focused on the binoculars in his hands. Although the preparations on the Mongolian side were adequate, they had to avoid the lack of momentum of the Mongolian horses.  Weaknesses, but the Cossacks who are all strong horses from Central Asia are definitely not easy to get along with.  The disadvantage in the number of strong horses soon became apparent. The Mongolian cannon fodder cavalry was quickly overwhelmed and out of shape. After doing this, the momentum of the Cossack cavalry also reached its limit. Riding Mongolian horses  The cannon fodder cavalry attacked from both wings and bit the Cossack forward.  The battlefield for cavalry operations was much larger than that for infantry operations. The Mongolian cannon fodder cavalry responded, and the same was true for the Cossacks. The Cossack cavalry was also extremely skilled in counter-encirclement and counter-charge. At this time, sufficient combat experience gave  Without the huge advantage of the Cossack cavalry, if the current situation continues, the only ones who will be surrounded will be the Mongolian cannon fodder cavalry.  The Mongolian kings don't care about victory or defeat, and the same goes for Shi Dakai. As far as these cannon fodder cavalry are concerned, their appearance is not much worse than that of the Mongolian cavalry. The only difference is in the weaponry, as far as the combat power of the cavalry is concerned.  The Cossacks were still stronger than the Mongols.  Horses are one of the reasons.  The degree of bravery is the key to distinguishing between superior and inferior.  Perhaps because of the long period of peace, or perhaps because of being castrated by the Qing Dynasty, in Shi Dakai's eyes, the bloody nature of Mongolia today is not as good as that of the Cossacks. In a war with the same number of people, the Mongolian soldiers have little chance of winning, but the disparity in strength is different. Now  scene.  There are twice as many Mongolian soldiers as Cossacks, and everyone has horses and swords. Moreover, the 50,000 Mongolian cavalry who will subsequently outflank each other will have two spears, one long and one short. In this test, Mongolia will definitely win, but there is a gap in combat power between Mongolia and Cossacks.  Shi Dakai also noticed it.  Although it was late winter, the temperature in the Ishim grassland was still around minus 20 degrees. The Mongolian cavalry took up all the equipment, and the Cossack cavalry had short saber handles.  It is not suitable to be wielded with gloves, and the saber designed by Yang Meng was designed with winter combat in mind.  The handle of the sword is half longer than the original one, so even with heavy leather gloves, the Mongolian cavalry can wield the saber freely.  The sabers had been modified and had valuable hand protection like leather gloves. The cannon fodder cavalry on the front line still could not block the Cossacks' charging momentum. In the early stage, the formation was only deformed. After just a few quarters of an hour, the cannon fodder cavalry showed signs of decline.  Without reinforcements, the cannon fodder cavalry of the Mongolian kings would be defeated.  Although the speed of Mongolian horses is not as fast as that of Central Asian war horses, they are stronger in endurance. The lack of momentum of Mongolian cavalry also gives the Cossack cavalry a chance to escape from the battle safely. After the vague horn sounds, the large group of Cossack cavalry  , whistled and quickly broke away from the battle line, advancing and retreating like the wind. The Cossack cavalry was obviously a good opponent of Mongolia.  Seeing the Cossack cavalry retreating safely, Shi Dakai's face became much uglier. This was of course for Torgut Khan to see. How could nearly a million Mongolian cavalry be consumed in such a war?  "Torghut Khan, is this your Mongolian horse fighting? It's really not that good! The Nian Army's cavalry fight is much more powerful than this! It seems that Yang Guogong misjudged your Mongolian cavalry.  With such combat power, what's the point? " Shi Dakai is telling lies with his eyes open. Although the two groups of cavalry fought for a short time, less than an hour, the number of casualties on each side exceeded 10,000.  The snowfield under the hill had completely turned blood red.  The scope of the cavalry's battle was much larger than that of the infantry. The snowfield nearly five to six miles below was completely covered with corpses from a distance. This was the first time Shi Dakai had seen such a tragic war scene.  When the Taiping Army fought in the south of the Yangtze River, there were times when the number of casualties was hundreds of thousands, but it was not as tragic as it is today. Everywhere you looked you could see corpses. Shi Dakai said this just because he wanted to encourage the Mongolian kings to pursue and annihilate them all.  The Cossack cavalry on the opposite side is just a horse. The endurance of the Mongolian horses can only be shown in actual combat. Shi Dakai doesn't believe it.  "Commissioner Shi Qin, what do you mean" This is a tentative battle. The Mongolian kings have no intention of pursuing and fighting. Now it seems that the strength of the Cossack cavalry cannot be underestimated. How Mongolia will fight next is still  It needs to be discussed.  "What does this imperial envoy mean? No! Turghut Khan misunderstood. This is not what this imperial envoy meant."?This is what the emperor and Duke Yang meant!  With this kind of combat power, the Mongolian soldiers are not of much use to the Qing Dynasty and Yang Guogong. According to Yang Guogong's wishes, you Mongolian soldiers can fight if you can. If you can't fight, go back to the grassland and become obedient people of the Qing Dynasty. The conquest of Russia has its own affairs in the northwest.  The army and the Northeast Army will shoulder the responsibility! ??????????????????????????????????????????????????????? Out out: Do you, the Mongolian kings, have weapons that cost nothing?  Isn¡¯t the food and salary of the army money?  ?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????OUT off one hundred thousand cavalry, how much did they gain?  Dead bodies all over the ground?  If the Northwest Army takes action, they will annihilate this Cossack cavalry in minutes!     never mind!  It¡¯s okay for me to ignore this cowardly tactics!  You Mongolian kings, it¡¯s better to pack your bags and get ready to go back to herding sheep!  You are good at raising horses and sheep, but you are not good at fighting!  ??You should take the words of this imperial envoy as the emperor¡¯s oral instructions!  If you still want to take credit for the war being fought like this, go back and herd the sheep!  "Seeing that Torgut Khan was dissatisfied with one and the other, Shi Dakai was also very sinister. The imperial edict was just a matter of Yang Sange's words. Inciting Mongolia and Cossacks to form a deadly feud was one of his missions on this trip! "  Shi Qinshi, what can Mongolia do to satisfy the wishes of Yang Guogong and the emperor?  "Turgut Khan did not dare to challenge Shi Qinqi, because even unruly people can be offended. Now it is clear that Shi Qinqi is a confidant of Yang Guogong. If he offends him, he will offend his parents! As he spoke, Turhut Khan also  Yang Guogong¡¯s position was placed above the Qing Emperor¡¯s. ¡°What does the Duke mean?  So" "One hundred thousand taels of gold!  " "Oh the Duke's meaning is very simple, just kill with one word!  To put it bluntly, I want you to pursue and fight fiercely. Killing all the Cossack cavalry is only the second step. Erasing their tribe is the serious thing you should do!  Duke Yang Guo has an order!  Did you Mongolia turn a deaf ear to the eradication of all the population of Tsarist Russia in the north?  "I can reveal some things, but in the end it is your victory that has the final say. With 100,000 troops dispatched, where are the results?"  Ten thousand Cossacks?  This is far from enough!  Zuo Jigao of the Northwest Army, with 300,000 troops, pacified the three Central Asian Khanates in three months and killed millions of rebels. What should you Mongolia do?  "In one month, we can advance five hundred miles westward and kill one million of Tsarist Russia's population. This is the minimum limit. If you can't do it, you should keep your one hundred thousand taels of gold for your own enjoyment!"  This imperial envoy is timid and afraid of death. I cannot bear the anger of Duke Yang!  The current plan is to hunt down the Cossack cavalry and produce a decent battle report, otherwise it will be difficult for the imperial envoy to speak!  Next, the Mongolian army, the whole army is dispatched!  Within one month, we will first leave Yekaterinburg and then leave the Chebinsk area. This is the limit for this imperial envoy!  It is also the limit for the emperor and Duke Yang!  Go talk about it!  If you can't do that, just pack up your bedrolls, lest the Northwest Army attack you again!  " Said these words, Shi Dakai also took the opportunity to act according to the trend. Although it is a serious crime to falsely pass on the imperial edict, he is very clear about Yang Sange's purpose. He wants to gain a foothold in the Yang family system. Merit is necessary, and  Now is the time to make merit! After listening to Shi Dakai¡¯s words, Turghut Khan¡¯s face was also very ugly, but now the court and Yang Guogong are the parents of Mongolia. Without the support of military rations, it will be difficult for the Mongolian army to return to the grassland.  Moreover, there are 600,000 northwest troops behind Mongolia, and Zeng Disheng organized another 300,000 Central Asian troops in the northwest. Today's Mongolia simply does not have the ability to challenge the Qing court. With Shi Dakai's original words,  Turghut Khan returned to the Mongolian kings. After hearing this, the Five Khans of Outer Mongolia also made a decision. One hundred thousand taels of gold were given to Shi Dakai, and the military strategy followed Shi Dakai's instructions and left 10,000 cavalry to defend him!  The Mongolian kings and Shi Qin envoys drove an 80,000-strong army to pursue the Cossack cavalry. The people behind them immediately broke out and started fighting. The Mongolian kings did not want to miss the opportunity to establish a country. Since the court made a promise in the imperial edict, this matter was a waste.  No, instead of challenging the court, it is better to work together with the court to defeat Tsarist Russia. The decision must be based on interests. For the Cossack cavalry, this tentative battle is the beginning of a tragedy. The Cossack war horses are indeed inferior in endurance.  After the Mongolian horses galloped for sixty miles, the remaining 30,000 Cossack cavalry were overtaken by the Mongolian cavalry. The exhausted Cossacks faced off against the still capable Mongolian cavalry, and the outcome could only be a massacre on the battlefield!  Those who were divided into different tribes were targeted for killing as long as they were dressed differently. Forty thousand Mongolian soldiers and twenty thousand cannon fodder soldiers were killed. The battle was over quickly after the round. The massacre was not meant to kill them all at once. They left more than a thousand Cossacks without horses on the grassland.  Come on, as long as the following fighters slowly follow these Cossacks, there will be many of them. The princes have already issued death orders, and they will not leave any chickens or dogs behind.??Tsarist Russia was not fully prepared for the war. After the Cossack cavalry, which was the vanguard, was completely annihilated, part of it fled to Yekaterinburg, and the other part fled over the mountains and ridges to their ethnic group.  The hundreds of thousands of Mongolian troops were divided into dozens of groups and began a real cavalry battle to sweep through the entire Ishim Grassland and the Western Siberian Plains.  (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature, the novel is better and updated faster! u
