C1494 ambush

There was an image of humans being armed to the teeth, but no one had ever said that they were armed to the hooves of horses. Whether it was in the era of cold weapons or hot weapons, cavalry's hooves were weak joints.

In the forest, there were ropes and iron wires that were two to three inches close to the ground. Some of them were hidden in the snow while others were hiding in the dry grass. The cavalry could not see them at all.

These unlucky cavalrymen fell one after another in the snow, and the rest didn't dare to move forward. Just as they were about to try and save their fallen comrades, gunshots came from all directions in the forest.

This was the most advanced weapon that had just been installed this year. With a single shot, he equipped with a Needle Rifle, and was able to fire stationary copper bullets and paper bullets. Based on the current strength of the Russian army, this was already the most advanced weapon.

It was a pity that they met the wealthy Xiao Letian's army, the Sister Wu's cavalry all equipped double rifles, one of them was a Muse Type 1 with high accuracy and firing range, the other was the famous American Civil War gun, Spencer.

The two rifles formed a dense web of fire in the forest, hitting the firing Spencer in a continuous barrage, hitting the distant and accurate Prussian Mauser, and the heavy barrage of firepower from one battalion made the enemy unable to lift his head.

The commander looked at his comrade who had been hit by three bullets in a row. Blood spurted out from his back and he fell onto the horse's butt. In front of him, there was a huge war horse whose head was hit by bullets and its body fell to the ground.

Miserable wails and cries for help could be heard everywhere. The bullets hit the tree trunk and the sawdust flew everywhere. Could it be that his head had been smashed? Three drops of brain matter sprayed onto his face.

Even if the people of the battle races were innately warlike, they knew that they could not stay here any longer due to the enemy's presence. "Retreat, all of us!" We have completed our cover mission! "Retreat, retreat to the ferry …"

The two companies had only chased two miles or so before they had lost more than sixty corpses. This kind of loss completely exceeded their expectations. If they didn't run, then they would just wait to be annihilated.

"No, for God's sake, take me with you... "Take me with you …" The soldiers that were pressed down by the warhorses were screaming in pain, while even more wounded soldiers were begging in pain.

Just as the two Company Commander leading the troops hesitated for a moment, they heard the brave soldiers opposite them shouting, "Hand grenade preparation … Blast them to death! "

Soon after, more than ten smoking iron lumps flew out. The flames from the explosion left ten more corpses. This time, the commander didn't dare hesitate and said, "Retreat, retreat immediately …"

Russian's cavalry withdrew from the forest, and immediately after, the loyal soldiers began to clean up the battlefield, and under a wave of curses, the loyal soldiers caught a total of seven talking captives.

"Divide them up and interrogate them... I don't believe that everyone is a tough nut to crack! "

In an instant, the forest was filled with screams, all sorts of torture methods invented by CIA were used. These unfortunate soldiers included those who cried, those who yelled, those who cursed, and those who begged … Just as the Sister Wu had said, it was impossible for everyone to be tough. Very soon, the confessions of three prisoners overlapped, which meant that the three of them were already beginning to speak the truth.

The sound of the pen on paper sounded out, everything that happened in Sha Ao since when the Central Asia first entered the army until now was completely for nothing. When Sister Wu heard that there were still over thirty thousand cavalrymen rushing over behind vanguard unit, her face immediately turned pale.

"Buddha!" Right now, we only have a total of forty thousand people in the brave army, but the enemy's reinforcements number is fifty thousand! "How can we still fight like this …"

"Damn you, General T?pchin!" "He actually opened the kingdom's gate to let the enemy ambush us from behind …"

"Are all Qing Dynasty s pigs? How could they give out such an order?! Luring the wolf into the house! Didn't the Chinese have an idiom called "fake path to destroy the enemy"? "Letting our enemies know about our country's mountains and rivers, its humanities and geography, isn't that just courting death …"

The people cursed, but cursing could not solve the problem, the problem now was how to solve it, time was more precious than gold, maybe in the next hour, the enemy's backup would rush past Songhua River Estuary.

Just as Sister Wu was thinking, a series of thunderous explosions suddenly came from the east, and from the smoke that filled the sky, a few balls of smoke rose into the sky.

"Let's go!" This group of people from the Qing Army at the ferries sure have guts. Sister Wu, you did not misjudge them … "

The Little Tuen Mun Village's Crossing was guarding the upstream branches of the Wusuli River. This time, not only were there those guards who left behind the twelve large carts of vegetable oil, there were also more than eight hundred kilograms of black gunpowder.

These jars of sealed gunpowder were hidden under the snow on the ice and could not be seen once they got closer. When the vanguard cavalry's army stepped onto the ice, the soldiers who had been hiding in the snow all this time finally lit the fuse.

Boom! Boom! Boom! Chain explosions occurred one after another. The dimension was originally lower than Black Dragon River and Amur River, and the temperature was also higher by a few degrees. The ice surface had become much less solid than before.

Crack! Crack! Crack! The explosion cracked the ice layer, scaring the cavalrymen to the point that their faces turned pale. Even their war horses had to retreat as soon as they realized the danger. "Rumble!" "Rrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!"

It was too late for them to retreat. The more than one hundred cavalrymen who were the first to step onto the ice had no time to retreat. The ice cracked open and a river came rolling out. All of them fell to the ground.

This month, the river was so cold that it could freeze a person's bones. The soldiers who were struggling in the water turned into ice crystals when they looked at the drops of water on their hair and eyebrows.

The furs and capes were soaked in ice-cold water, and the soldiers fell down. The people on the shore wanted to save them, but they didn't expect that the ones in the water would have such great strength. The two good men pulled a soldier into the water and brought him into the river.

The captain, who was on the shore, was dumbfounded. The river had been split open for more than three hundred meters in width, and the huge floating ice was crashing back and forth.

"My God! The soldiers of the Kingdom of Qing actually had such courage? Am I in the wrong place? "Is this still the land of the Great Qing …"

"Walk around the crossing and we'll cross somewhere else... I don't believe that this is the only road for such a long stretch of ice! "

However, he was right. The river was very wide, but there weren't many suitable areas for crossing. To be more accurate, there weren't many suitable areas for crossing.

The two sides of the road were covered with dense forests and rocky slopes. There was no problem for a small troop of cavalrymen or mountain people to hunt, but it would be very troublesome if one wanted to let an army of over ten thousand people pass.

If you were to forcefully cross the river in such a dangerous place, as long as thousands of people were ambushed on the other side, they would be able to block you completely.

"Damn it!" I already said that I can't trust these Chinese, even if it's the trash of Great Qing, I can't let my guard down … Pass my order, next time we meet Qing Empire's defenders, kill them straight away and don't trust them! "
