    On the seventh day of September in the third year of Renhe, the Qing army relied on its powerful firepower projection ability to conquer Bratsk Castle, known as the most powerful city in Eastern Siberia, in one day, and completely annihilated the four troops stationed on the fortress line.  More than 10,000 Russian officers and soldiers did not march straight into the heart of the Russian army. Instead, the troops split up and swept through many Russian settlements in Eastern Siberia, destroying their towns and driving all the Russians westward. The Third Army  It followed unhurriedly, with the fundamental purpose of destroying Russian settlements wherever it went. By mid-October, it had all of East and Central Siberia under its control, and then on the Central Siberian Plateau.  The city of Krasnoyarsk was stationed, nothing more, winter was approaching, and the severe cold weather was no longer suitable for advancing.  Read the full text of the latest chapter, visit the latest chapter:.  On the ninth day of September in the third year of Renhe, the main Russian army group stationed in Akdoka finally decided after many discussions that General Lev Torsky would lead 20,000 Cossack cavalry and 40,000 infantry to rush to the Bratsk Castle.  , on the way, he encountered a defeated army and just learned that the Bratsk Castle had been lost. Levtorsky thought that his troops were insufficient and did not dare to go to fight the Qing Third Army, so he turned around halfway.  Ufa Castle, and sent several groups of messengers to inform Grand Duke Ivan Ivanovich Ivanov and Peter II in St. Petersburg of the fact of the fall of Bratsk Castle.  On September 18, the third year of Renhe, Grand Duke Ivan Ivanovich Ivanov received an urgent message from General Levtolsky. He immediately panicked and asked Peter II for help.  While convening the generals for discussion, they expressed their intention to retreat. However, the discussion has not yet been decided. More than 30,000 cavalry troops under Yue Zhongqi of the Qing Army have rushed to the Akdoka front line, facing a highly mobile enemy.  As the vanguard of the Qing army, Grand Duke Ivan Ivanovich Ivanov did not dare to retreat easily. He sent more than 65,000 Cossack cavalry to confront the Qing army's 32,000 cavalry, trying to repel them first.  The Qing cavalry troops will retreat again.  On September 20, the third year of Renhe, General Marco Zhmailo, commander of the Cossack Corps, led more than 65,000 Cossack cavalry to advance forward, intending to fight the Qing cavalry.  He Rong, the commander of the Sixth Army Cavalry Division of the Forward Army, did not rush to accept the challenge, but led his troops to retreat five miles. General Marco Zhmailo believed that the Qing army's retreat was cowardly.  In the performance of the battle, he aggressively led his troops to pursue the Qing army's forward cavalry.  Full Episode Download Cowardly to Fight?  Of course it¡¯s impossible!  As a veteran who participated in the expedition to Japan and the west to Junggar, He Rong is not a coward. The reason why he retreated earlier was just to draw out the Cossack cavalry. Just like Ivan Ivan Zhovich Ivan  Grand Duke Nov wanted to defeat the Qing cavalry first to ensure the smooth retreat of the Russian army. He Rong also wanted to defeat the Russian Cossack cavalry first to delay the Russian army's retreat and thereby provide a way for his own side.  The main group arrived to buy time.  At the last moment, the Qing cavalry that retreated rapidly finally stopped and quickly formed a formation to meet the enemy on the open grassland. The forty-eight light artillery pieces were efficiently lifted from the four-horse cart by the gunners.  After being relieved, they lined up in front of the formation. The cavalry division of the Sixth Army under He Rong was in the center with more than 11,000 people. The cavalry division of the Seventh Army under Guan Mingfu was on the right with more than 11,000 cavalrymen.  On the side are more than 9,500 border cavalry troops led by Ta Haining, the son of General Tashan of Ili.  "Command: All troops stop and form formations! The third and fourth armies are on the left, the fifth and sixth armies are on the right, and the first and second armies are in the center with my general!" Seeing that the Qing army was already well prepared, they rushed to pursue it.  General Marco Zimailo did not dare to rush straight into the Qing army's main formation in such a chaotic manner. When he was still one and a half miles away from the Qing army's cavalry formation, he already  Orders were given to restrain the Cossack cavalry that were rushing forward one after another. More than 65,000 Cossack cavalry also formed three large square formations, corresponding to the Qing army at a distance of about 600 meters.  With the support of many Western powers such as the Kingdom of Great Britain, the Russian army has now completed the change of equipment. The changes are more in the equipment of the infantry. As for the Cossack cavalry, in addition to replacing the matchlocks with breech-loading muskets  Except for this, the rest of the equipment remained unchanged. There was neither artillery support nor pistols. Some were still spears and sabers. Generally speaking, the spear cavalry and the saber cavalry accounted for half each. As for the Qing army, the equipment  The changes are not too big. The individual weapons have almost not changed. They are still lances, sabers, revolvers and grenades. The real change is in the support firepower. The forty-eight 'portable' artillery are all newly developed by Yishui.  The rapid-fire cannon has a thin and light barrel made of tungsten steel tubes. It weighs only half of the old artillery, but its durability and rate of fire are more than two times that of the old artillery. The designed rate of fire is four rounds per minute.  Artillery shells, each integrated artillery shell weighs eighteen kilograms, has a conical warhead, is filled with yellow explosives and preset bursting fragments, and is extremely lethal. Once it lands, the effective damage can cover a radius of four feet, effectively  'Shoot' range up toOne thousand two hundred meters away, there is another machine gun equipped with the latest model. It solves the shortcomings of the earlier machine gun that is easy to jam and difficult to shoot. The magazine can hold up to forty rounds, which is lethal.  Amazing power.  "Command: Rapid artillery fire, blow up the old man!" The two armies faced off quietly. Except for the occasional snoring of the horses, there was no sound. It was obvious that neither side wanted to take the lead in launching an attack.  They were all waiting for the opponent to reveal their flaws when they changed formations. The Russian army was obviously very patient with this, but He Rong didn't want to wait any longer. There was nothing else. Although this place was more than seven miles away from the Russian army's camp,  The distance is not too far after all. If the battle reaches a stalemate, Lao Maozi's reinforcements may arrive at any time. He Rong does not want to miss this great opportunity to destroy the Russian army's mobile power, but seeing it  He raised his hand and gave the general order in a cold voice.  "Boom, boom, boom" Naturally, the forty-eight artillery pieces of the Qing army were not beautifully displayed. Following He Rong's order, the gunners quickly followed the artillery commander's command and adjusted rapidly.  Shooting at the secret position, he bombarded the Russian cavalry formation unceremoniously. In an instant, violent explosions resounded one after another on the Russian cavalry formation, and countless shrapnel swept across.  Then the Russian cavalry was beaten into chaos.  "Order: Attack immediately on the left and right wings!" After the Qing army opened fire like this, General Marko Zhmailo could no longer keep his composure. There was nothing else to do. The Russian Cossack cavalry had no artillery formation.  , naturally it is impossible to respond accordingly to the Qing army's artillery bombardment. At this point, if we don't launch a strong attack, this battle will not have to be fought again, but Marko Zhmailo Marco Zhmailo  The general was more cautious and did not attack with all his troops. Instead, he only let the two wings attack first to see if he could influence the Qing army's position. As for whether the central army he led stayed still, he obviously had the intention of taking action when the situation was not good.  The thought of running away is there.  "Ula, Ula" The Cossack cavalry has always been known for its brutality in Europe, and they are not short of courage. Although they were quite panicked by the Qing army's artillery fire, once the order was given to attack, the left and right wings  The Cossack cavalry did not hesitate at all, and charged up with a roar. Although there was no formation or formation, tens of thousands of cavalry rushed out at once, the sound of hooves was like thunder, and the murderous intent suddenly reached the sky.  "Raise your gun and aim!" Facing the surging Cossack cavalry brigade from the left and right wings, the Qing army officers and soldiers did not have the slightest panic at all. As the commanders at all levels issued orders, they quickly moved to the ground.  He leveled the lance in his hand and aimed straight at the Cossack cavalry vanguard with rows of black holes.  "Fire!" Just as the Cossack cavalry vanguard rushing in like a tide had rushed less than 250 meters away from the Qing cavalry position, the Qing army's right-wing general Guan Mingfu and left-wing general Ta Haining issued orders almost simultaneously.  Order to shoot.  "Click, click, click, bang, bang, bang" The two generals gave orders, and the machine gunners took the lead in firing. Then the artillerymen also adjusted their positions, giving priority to bombarding the enemy cavalry on both wings.  , followed by the cavalry officers' volleys of gun fire, the dense bullets were like a downpour of bullets, and they covered the head of the Cossack cavalry vanguard who was charging wildly. In an instant, they were lined up in rows.  The Cossack cavalry fell to the ground like cutting rice. When the people roared and the horses neighed, the charging momentum of the Cossack cavalry was suddenly suffocated.  "Draw out your sword, follow me, kill the thieves, kill the thieves, kill the thieves!" The Cossack cavalry were really brave. Although the forward troops were almost wiped out by the Qing army's intensive firepower, the following cavalry still ignored them.  He rushed forward wildly. When he saw this, Guan Mingfu did not dare to neglect it, but when he saw him pull out the saber from his waist, he roared and led his troops to launch a fierce countercharge.  At the same time, Tahaining, who was slightly behind by half a beat, also made the same choice. The Qing cavalry on both wings attacked together, surging forward like a tide.  "Drop a bomb!" Closer, closer. The distance between the two armies was only less than three hundred meters. For the galloping horses, it was just a matter of seconds. As the two armies sprinted with all their strength, this  The distance between the two armies was also shortening rapidly. In the blink of an eye, the distance between the forwards of the two armies was less than fifty meters. As a loud roar sounded, the Qing soldiers in the front row raised their hands almost at the same time.  He threw out the long-handled grenade in his left hand. With the momentum of the horse, nearly a thousand grenades roared towards the Cossack cavalry forward. In an instant, there was a sudden explosion, and he was unprepared.  The defensive Cossack cavalry was unsurprisingly hit hard again, and the momentum of the charge was inevitably suffocated Ha Novel Network¡ª¡ª18681dmth19049442¡ª¡ª>
