Chapter 988 Current Situation

"Bang bang bang..."

"Da da da..."

When the Russian soldiers fled, the sound of machine guns and Qin-style rifles was endless.

The Russian army left behind corpses along the way, and only three or four thousand people fled back to the Beidi camp in a panic.

"..."

In front of the camp, Muller Hongzhen and Negov were speechless for a long time looking at the terrified and embarrassed Russian soldiers.

"Colonel, we can't rush over. Their strange muskets are too scary. They will continue to shoot at us. The firepower is too fierce." A Russian officer was still in shock.

Negov's face was miserable.

At this moment, he suddenly regretted his decision.

He was too greedy. He took the risk even though he knew that this strange musket was terrible.

The charge on the right wing failed, and he believed that the charge on the left wing would soon fail.

Sure enough, it was just as he expected.

In just over ten minutes, the remaining hundreds of Beidi cavalry and the Russian army retreated from the battlefield.

Many defeated soldiers gathered in front of them, and Mule Hongzhen and Negov's faces were almost gloomy.

What made the two even more angry was that after defeating the two wings of the army they sent, the Dasong army threw strange muskets into the front battlefield and continuously shot the Beidi soldiers in the trenches from the side.

With the cooperation of the front and flank soldiers, the Dasong army continued to advance at an astonishing speed and was irresistible.

"Colonel Negov, we must organize an attack on the flank again, otherwise we will lose the trench position." Mule Hongzhen said.

He has been in the army for more than 40 years, experienced countless wars, and suffered major defeats.

Faced with such an unfavorable situation, he calmed down earlier than Negov.

"No, this is a tactic of adding fuel, you can't do it like this." Negov suddenly woke up.

This charge, he paid the lives of nearly 10,000 Russian soldiers, but did not achieve any results.

If a second attack is launched, the result will be the same.

Unless they can invest five or six times more troops than the opponent at one time.

But this is impossible.

Because the terrain of Lingwu County is blocked by the mountains in the east, the width of the battlefield is not enough.

As for the west, although there is a frozen Jin River for marching, the enemy's artillery can shatter the ice of the Jin River by bombarding the river surface.

At that time, their soldiers will surely fall into the water and freeze to death.

That is why he said that this is a tactic of adding fuel to the fire and it will not help.

After that, he explained it to Mule Hongzhen.

Mule Hongzhen heard this and a layer of cold sweat broke out on his back.

He was so angry that he didn't think about these details.

Seeing that this didn't work and that didn't work, he stomped his feet hard, "Colonel Negov, what do you think we should do?"

Negov didn't answer, but paced back and forth, constantly weighing.

In these days of fighting, the Beidi army led by Mule Hongzhen and Ulanba suffered heavy losses.

This time, Mulehongzhen personally led 300,000 Beidi cavalry and 350,000 infantry, while Ulanba led 80,000 cavalry, 150,000 infantry, and his 30,000 Russian soldiers.

In the last battle with the Dasong cavalry, Ulanba led 60,000 cavalrymen, but less than 3,000 returned.

More than 10,000 cavalrymen sent by Mulehongzhen escaped, but were all killed by Mulehongzhen in anger.

Now, there are only more than 200,000 38 cavalrymen left under the two.

And their nearly 500,000 infantrymen, of which 300,000 are servants.

In the fighting back and forth during this period.

These servants were like cannon fodder, and were constantly ordered to rush out of the trenches to serve as meat shields for Beidi soldiers to resist bullets, which can be said to be huge casualties.

At present, there are only about 150,000 servants who can fight, but their morale has been extremely low, and deserters are constantly appearing.

Although the Beidi infantry suffered few casualties, it was only relative to the servants, and there were more than 70,000 casualties.

That is to say, before the Dasong army launched a counterattack today, they only had 200,000 cavalry and about 280,000 infantry.

And now, after the Dasong army launched a full-scale counterattack, their casualties are increasing sharply.

If they continue like this, I am afraid they will be wiped out.

Suddenly stopping, he said: "Khan said that the Dasong people have a saying that if you keep the green mountains, you will never worry about firewood. Now, we must retreat to the grassland and retain our strength."

"What!" Mule Hongzhen couldn't believe his ears.

This time, he used all his clan's strength to seize the opportunity to besiege Dasong and completely destroy Dasong.

Now, after he suffered heavy losses, Negov actually asked him to retreat. How could he accept it?

"Colonel Negov, I can't agree. Even if there is only one person left in my Beidi, I will fight to the end." Mule Hongzhen rejected Negov's proposal.

Negov was anxious, "Khan, you are committing suicide. Didn't you see the battle clearly? Your cavalry was as fragile as a toddler in front of that weird musket."

After a pause, he continued, "My suggestion is for the good of you Beidi. Retreat westward, to the westernmost part of your territory, which is closest to our capital, St. Petersburg. Then, we can provide you with more support."

Naturally, he was reluctant to see Beidi, this thug, die.

Having seen the power of the Dasong army with their own eyes, they needed to continue to arm the Beidi people to contain Dasong on the vast grassland.

Mulhong was unmoved, and just said coldly, "Will you Russians give up the Far North?"

"This..." Negov choked.

They naturally wouldn't want to take away the territory they had seized unless they stepped on their corpses.

Shaking his head, he looked at Ulanba.

Ulanba showed a helpless expression.

Once his father Khan made a decision, it would not be changed.

"Da Da Da...", "Bang Bang Bang...", "Boom Boom Boom..."

The battle continued, and the Dasong soldiers occupied trenches one after another, constantly approaching the Beidi camp.

Seeing this, Mule Hongzhen's eyes emerged with crazy murderous intent.

He whispered a few words to Bamudan.

Bamudan nodded and turned to enter the camp.

Not long after, 20,000 cavalrymen charged from the side of Zhutou Mountain to the left wing.

This number is basically the maximum number of cavalrymen that the left wing battlefield can accommodate.

And 80,000 cavalrymen charged on the right wing.

Due to the large number, many cavalrymen could only gallop on the surface of the Jin River.

"Crazy, crazy." Negov shook his head repeatedly, and said to Ulanba, "I will not let my soldiers die so stupidly again."

After that, he ordered his officers to withdraw from the Beidi camp and retreat to the far north.

Seeing that the Russian army was about to leave, the Beidi generals immediately stopped them, and the two sides confronted each other.

Mule Hongzhen shook his hand at this time, signaling Negov to leave.

He was indeed on the verge of madness due to anger, but he had not completely lost his mind.

If the war situation could not be saved, his son Ulanba would still need the support of the Russian country.
