Chapter 403 The Greedy Cossack Cavalry
When the Cossack cavalry fell into an embarrassing situation where even the First Brigade of the Imperial Guard could not chew on, the other brigades of the First Army of the Imperial Guard and the infantry of the Fourth Army also came ashore one after another.
As the commander of the Imperial Guards, Lu Xiangsheng also met with Chang Yanling, who also informed Lu Xiangsheng of the overview of this time.
After hearing this, Lu Xiangsheng did not show any worries or joy, but said calmly: "Since we are here, we cannot just repel this group of Cossack cavalry. According to Your Majesty's decree, no matter who invades our Ming territory, all foreign enemies that invade our Ming territory will be wiped out, so that they will never return. Therefore, the key to us now is how to wipe out this group of Cossack cavalry!"
"It is naturally easy to repel, but it is indeed difficult to completely annihilate. In the end, we cannot defeat these cavalry with extremely mobile power. Unless we wait for the rest of the brothers to arrive one after another, we will use our infantry as the auxiliary to scatter and ligate them into a net with important places everywhere. At the same time, we use artillery and flight battalions to kill and destroy the Cossack cavalry in the early stage of the war, causing their main force to collapse. Then our infantry encircle and annihilate them, and the cavalry of the Third Army will sweep the periphery, so there is no worries about immortality!"
As the commander of the Imperial Guards, Chang Yanling directly commanded the First Army and the First Brigade of the First Army, but his status in the Imperial Guards was second only to Lu Xiangsheng and Liu Ruyu, so he could only add a few words to Lu Xiangsheng.
Lu Xiangsheng couldn't help but point to Chang Yanling: "Speaking of this, you let the First Brigade take the lead. It would be a good thing to bite these tens of thousands of Cossack cavalry first. Otherwise, if we really wait until all our army gathers, Orknido wouldn't be so stupid to wait for us to annihilate. If he is more alert and good at judging the situation, he should now withdraw directly from East and West Siberia. Now, let him get caught between my local defenders and the First Brigade of the Imperial Guards, let him taste the taste of a piece of chicken, and take advantage of this, we just tie the net up!"
As he said that, Lu Xiangsheng held his hands on the four corners of the marching map and spread it to the ground. He grabbed a handful of snow and pressed the four corners. He gestured on the map and said, "In order to avoid alarming the snakes, the remaining units of the First Army and the Fourth Army, except for the First Brigade, were divided into two routes, bypassing Miaojie and Longshanwei, and detoured a hundred miles away. Finally, he gathered at Mutal, and the key passes along the way were divided into heavy troops to guard them. Be sure to hide your whereabouts to avoid being discovered by the Cossack Rangers!"
"At the same time, the First Brigade should show weakness to the enemy, and make sure that Orknido feels an opportunity to take advantage of it. In addition, explore the Third Army, the Flying Battalion, the Second Army's Machine Cannon Battalion along the way, and now the general attack and the help defenders are waiting for them!"
...
The Second and Third Army of the Imperial Guards, who were traveling by land, were quite smooth at first when they were in the southern desert, but once they passed by the northern desert, the climate became even worse and the roads were more difficult. Moreover, there was still a primeval forest that no one had entered in this area at this time. If the Imperial Guards wanted to pass through from here, they had to be careful not only about jackals, tigers and leopards, but also about Jiannu's range attacks and other primitive people distributed everywhere.
This also caused the marching speed to become slower. Fortunately, the first batch of imperial guards and Dongjiang soldiers who had crossed the Outer Xing'an Mountains had already made some marks and opened up many paths, which prevented the Second Army and the Third Army from losing their way.
When the Second and Third Army of the Imperial Guards arrived less than a hundred miles away from Longshan Guard, they finally met the scout of the Imperial Guards. When they learned that the Supervisor Lu Xiangsheng had arrived at Hongshitan twenty miles away from Miaojie City and had begun to encircle the Cossack cavalry, Oboi and Fu Dahai couldn't help but smile and had to reply that after the soldiers in the unit had a brief rest for a day, they would immediately follow the orders of the Supervisor Lu to launch an attack on the Cossack cavalry.
The next afternoon, Orknido, the commander of the Cossack Cavalry, looked at the boxes of gold and dozens of trucks of food that were discarded when the Imperial Guards retreated, and cursed: "These yellow shorts are really generous. There are only a few thousand people with so much food and gold. No wonder the defenders of Miaojie and Longshanwei can hold on for so long. I am afraid that they have stockpiled a lot of food and treasures. It's a pity that they can't capture it."
"His Excellency Orknido, you can see that the food and gold and silver that were discarded by the yellow dwarfs were distributed very scattered, which shows that they were very hurried in retreat, and had to discard these boxes of treasures and chariots of food. In my opinion, we might as well pursue them by taking advantage of the victory, and maybe they could even force them to hand over more treasures. At least the firearms in their hands are very attractive. If we get them, I, Rakshasa Kingdom, can only unify the entire Europa!"
After a confidant general from Orknido said that, Orknido couldn't help asking: "It's just that it's confusing that these yellow dwarfs are obviously very sharp in firearms and are very powerful at the beginning. Why did they become so vulnerable in just a few confrontations? The casualties do not seem to be serious."
"Your Excellency, in my opinion, I am afraid that their ammunition may not be enough, which will cause the ammunition to be exhausted. Look at the bullet shells and the dismantled wooden boxes, I am afraid that they are loading ammunition. Once the firearms in their hands are gone, they will naturally not be able to pose a threat to our Cossack warriors, so they are in a hurry to escape."
After the man said this, Orknido suddenly realized and nodded, "You are right. Now that we arrive at this army, we are afraid that it is just a small group of troops that arrive first, so we are not prepared enough ammunition. If we do not wipe out the main force of the army before the future, we will probably not have another chance. In this case, we will immediately pass the order and pursue the enemy with all our might. After the small group of yellow shorts is wiped out, we will decide whether to withdraw or continue to advance."
It can be seen that Orknido also had the intention to retreat immediately at this time. The defenders of Miaojie, Longshan Guards and the First Brigade of the Imperial Guards who had confronted him several times had made him realize that he seemed to be provoking a very powerful empire. If it continues for a long time, I am afraid that his Cossack cavalry will not gain any advantage or even die here. What's more, getting these gold and food at this time was enough to get his Cossack cavalry back to the tribe for explanation.
But people are always greedy. Chang Yanling is precisely because of this point that the Cossack cavalry made the First Brigade of the Imperial Guard deliberately discard the entire brigade's food and property here while showing weakness to the enemy. This made the Cossack cavalry even more greedy and forget the way back.
In the end, the Cossack cavalry with extremely strong mobility chased the First Brigade of the Imperial Guards. Of course, the First Brigade of the Imperial Guards also deliberately exposed their whereabouts and led the Cossack cavalry to the hook.
But just as Orknido and other Cossack cavalry were preparing to attack the First Brigade of the Imperial Guards, countless black smoke shells flew over like snowflakes in the sky, and exploded directly in the middle of his army, and it was immediately blown up!
