Just as Rafael led two hundred cavalry towards Aziz's camp with a desperate mentality, the cavalry battle outside also began.

After seeing the Chechen cavalry rushing over, although they were not superior in numbers, the Russian cavalry with a long Circassian tradition rushed forward without hesitation.

The two sides fought fiercely together, killing each other until the sky was dark and the earth was dark.

In terms of personal bravery alone, the Russian cavalry cannot compare to the Chechen cavalry. However, it is already the eighteenth century, and the cavalry of various European countries has officially entered modern training.

Like the cavalry of other European countries, the Russian cavalry is equipped with wheel-spring short guns, and usually has several sword swings and corresponding arm strength training. Therefore, although the Chechen cavalry came menacingly, they still relied on their equipment and tactics to block it at first.

their attack.

But for the cavalry, although there are tactics, they are obviously not as rich as the infantry. They are nothing more than cooperative operations.

So, in the end of the battle, the Chechens, who had the superior numbers, prevailed.

At this time, the sky was already dark, and it would be less than half an hour before darkness would rule the earth.

Russians are not fools. If they can’t be beaten, they will run away...

At this moment, the Cossack cavalry carrying out a roundabout operation arrived!

There were actually as many as two thousand Cossack cavalry from the Don River. Originally, they wanted to take advantage of the empty defense behind the Chechens to capture Grozny. However, Grozny was heavily defended, so they could only attack Grozny like the Chechens did near Alan City.

Rural plunder.

However, they were also lucky. Although the Chechens were half herders and half farmers, they were able to gather a cavalry of 5,000 people at their limit. Therefore, although the Cossacks violated Rumyantsev's military orders and rampaged through the Grozny countryside

Robbery, but still did not reveal their whereabouts.

The Cossacks gained little near Grozny. They were burdened with military orders for roundabout operations, and it was impossible to take away a large number of people, livestock, and grain. When they arrived at Alan City, they were at the peak of their anger.

With this anger, two thousand Cossacks with both skilled fighting skills and certain tactics defeated the Chechen cavalry in an instant!

Still angry, he pursued the Chechen cavalry all the way to their camp.

In the end, Abdullah fled back to the camp with less than 300 horses!

But at this time, the Russian cavalry only had about 300 cavalry left, while the Cossack cavalry still had nearly 1,500 cavalry!

In the dusk, another cavalry group appeared on the horizon in the distance.

According to Kitard's instructions, Chuhu'er arrived with the remaining one thousand horses.

However, Chuhu'er was not Chitard, and he did not know the specific location of Chitard, nor did he know which force Chitard was going to deal with, although he could clearly tell where they came from from the hats of both warring parties.

Power.

So, they watched quietly from a distance.

Also following Kitard's instructions, in order to show their identity as the "Truchen Legion", they all wore masks made of cowhide with ghostly patterns on them, which temporarily made both warring parties confused.

It was only after the Cossacks defeated the Chechen cavalry that Chuhuer received news from Kitard.

"Attack on the Cossacks"

At this time, Chitard has not yet made a final decision.

According to the current situation, his original idea was to let both the Russians and the Ottomans suffer losses, and finally give the Russians a fatal blow.

Once the Ottomans reoccupy the Kuban area, they will inevitably engage in a protracted war with the Russians there, so it is very likely that they will continue to fish in troubled waters.

However, if things change, he will take action based on the mentality of "whoever has the advantage will help the weaker party."

While the cavalry was fighting, Raphael's action failed.

Under the attack of artillery and intensive muskets, a large number of war horses were killed and injured at the beginning, so the corpses of war horses were covered in front of Aziz's position. At this time, if the subsequent cavalry rushed to the position as quickly as possible, it would be

Impossible.

Due to the obstruction of the war horse, the speed of the subsequent horses cannot reach the maximum. Instead, due to the presence of the dead horses, their speed will be hindered, or they will be tripped and become part of the obstacle.

As the spiritual leader of the Armenians in Alan City, Raphael would naturally not rush to the front, otherwise once he died first, the fighting consciousness of the cavalry behind him would be greatly reduced.

So he was at the back of two hundred riders, with this spiritual leader guarding him behind him, so those in front would rush forward without hesitation, regardless of life or death.

However, Raphael was obviously not a coward, and he persisted until the last moment.

Unfortunately, due to the slowdown of the horses, each horse became a living target. Under the attack of artillery and muskets, Raphael's horse was also injured and fell down, throwing Raphael off.

!

By the time he regained consciousness, he was already on a miserable battlefield surrounded by horse corpses.

Most of the two hundred horsemen were killed in the battle, and a few were thrown off their horses like him. Some of them were shot dead on the spot with muskets, and some continued to hide among the horse corpses and wait for nightfall.

It was dark, but the Russians, who had vowed before the battle to follow their horses and attack Aziz's position, did not do so. Instead, when they saw that they could not break through Aziz's position with their cavalry, the Russians all withdrew.

When the Russians withdrew, they ordered the remaining 500 Raphael cavalry to join the outer cavalry battlefield, and in the end almost the entire army was wiped out!

The Armenian cavalry neither has the bravery and fearlessness of the Chechen cavalry nor the formal training of the Russian cavalry, let alone the Cossack cavalry, which has both. In order to please the Russians, they have a lot of courage.

There is no shortage, and the annihilation of the entire army is also an inevitable result.

It was already dark. At this time, it was impossible for Rafael and others to return to Alan City in the dark. There were Chechens around there, and they did not know that Truqin existed on the battlefield.<

/p>

So, the remaining dozens of them took advantage of the darkness to climb up the hill.

At this time, they had no horses and all walked, so they naturally became Kitard's prisoners.

After meeting Raphael, Kitard's thoughts changed again.

"Mongols!"

After meeting Kitard and others, Raphael was filled with hope.

He knew that although the Alan region did not surrender to the Turghuts, the two sides were not hostile. What's more, unlike the Russians and Chechens who were intolerant of religion, in the area under the jurisdiction of the Turghuts,

People of all religious beliefs exist, and the Torgut people did not force them to join Lamaism!

However, since the Mongols appeared on the battlefield openly, they obviously would not be the helpers of the Russians who had just arrived here, which is strange.

"We are Truchen people"

As soon as the word "truchen" came out, Raphael immediately understood.

"Damn it, these pagans must have been instigated by the Ottomans and are ready to come and get a share of the pie. The Truchen people have absorbed a large number of small tribes and must be in great demand for human beings. I didn't expect that I just

Entering the wolf's den and entering the tiger's mouth!"

The faith and courage that had sustained Raphael until now completely dissipated, and he collapsed on the ground, quietly waiting for his fate to be pronounced.

Kitard walked up to him and lifted his chin with her hand.

Raphael Mamikonyan claims to be a descendant from distant China, but his appearance is obviously no different from the Caucasians at that time. The only difference is that most of the Caucasians here have black curly hair, and Raphael

But she has straight hair!

Chitard also knew a little bit about the rumors about the Mamikonyan family, and he couldn't help but feel moved when he saw this.

Seeing Raphael's expression, Kitard also roughly understood what he was thinking.

He held Raphael's chin and looked at it for a long time, and then said: "They say that you adhere to the most primitive Christianity and have extremely firm beliefs. Why are you looking ashen now?"

Raphael said angrily: "If I meet the Russians, the Chechens still have room to speak. If I meet you people who have no faith and only take pleasure in killing, besides feeling that God is unfair, I really have no other choice."

There are so many ideas, you can kill or chop them up as you please."

Kitard said calmly: "Raphael, you are only twenty-five years old this year. It is the best time in your life. You also have a beautiful wife and two equally lively and lovely children. Could it be that you are just twenty-five years old?"

No feeling of nostalgia?"

When Kitard said this, Raphael suddenly broke free from the darkest moment.

But his tone was still tough, "So what? You don't want to follow the hateful Ottomans and Chechens to attack Alan City, and then get some of the slaves, stop being hypocritical!"

Kitard let go of him and said with his hands behind his back: "What if I can repel the Ottomans and Chechens and save Alan City?"

"Then take some of us Christians as slaves to Truchen? How is that any different from what the Chechens do?"

"Alas," Kitard sighed, "You have all misunderstood. The tribes who came to Truchen, whether they were farming, grazing, or working, still fully had their previous beliefs. We did not interfere at all. It was nothing more than

Just swear allegiance to me and pay 20% of taxes every year."

"What about the legends in recent years?"

"It's just to prevent people with bad intentions from entering there at will"

Raphael was moved in his heart, but then dimmed again, "The Chechens and Ottomans are large in number. Even if Truchin has some military strength, he should not be their opponent."

Kitard did not comment and continued: "You don't need to worry about this. The Chechens in the North Caucasus have the largest population, with almost three hundred thousand people. If I repel the Ottomans and Chechens, you guys from the South Caucasus will

Christians can no longer stay in the Alan area. How about they all move to Truqin?"

"Don't worry, no one dares to disturb you in Truqin, I keep my word"

"Think about it, the Ottomans came with the Pasha's army from West Georgia. According to my estimation, the troops brought by Aziz accounted for at least half of the troops in West Georgia, and the Chechens were even more mobilized."
