Chapter 18 The battle that changed history (Part 2)

 However, this is only the first step to annihilate the army in front of you.

At this time, Abdullah has two choices. One is to stay here and continue to struggle with the Truqin people. The other is to ignore the Truqin people and continue to rush towards Alan City. But in that case,

I will give my back completely to them.

After some thought, Abdullah decided to stay here and tangle with the Truqin people, because he knew that once he rushed to Alan City, the Truqin cavalry here would encircle Chu Huer and stay in place.

With a thousand cavalry, they all have short muskets in their hands. It is foreseeable that the one thousand cavalry will be defeated soon.

But there are two options for Chitard.

The first is to turn back and fight head-on with the Chechens. At this time, their front line is more loose. I don't have to attack again with the same scattered formation as before. Instead, I choose a relatively compact formation to promote a group with partial numbers.

The superiority slammed into the Chechen cavalry.

The second is to continue rushing towards the periphery, which has two benefits.

First, you can use this opportunity to load ammunition on the horse. His ammunition is all fixed, just take it out and load it. At most, you can use your upper mouth to help. They have practiced this section countless times in Truqin.

The second is that once they continue to rush towards the periphery, it will give Abdullah the illusion that they are preparing to encircle the Chechen cavalry who stayed in the same place with Chu Hu'er. Chu Hu'er still has 900 cavalry in his hands.

The men and horses on Kitard, as well as the power of fire and blunderbuss, will probably be defeated in a very short time!

So, Abdullah gritted his teeth and turned back with the remaining troops to catch up!

The distance between the two sides is getting closer and closer, and just when Kitard's cavalry is about to encounter the Chuhuer regiment that is fighting fiercely, they have already completed their reloading!

At this time, the last afterglow of the setting sun has just sprinkled on the earth!

He took a deep breath, turned the horse's head again and faced it!

At this time, the distance between the two sides is only about a hundred meters!

Since Abdullah and others have been chasing closely, their horse speed at this time is obviously more suitable for charging into the formation, while the speed of Kitard and his horses is far from reaching the maximum speed!

At this time, Chitard adopted completely different tactics from those in the first battle.

He lined up the team into a group, with the distance between them just enough for a horse to pass, and then rushed straight towards the Chechen cavalry!

If it were still pure cold weapon fighting, without the speed and strength brought by the horse speed, Chitard would definitely be defeated, but this time he was not prepared to use the piercing technique to implement the "left short gun and right saber" attack

Tactics.

When the distance between the two sides was less than three feet away, the front row of cavalry, including Chitard, fired flintlock muskets in front!

With the sound of "bang", Abdullah's intestines were about to turn green - he immediately understood that the Truqin people's escape just now was not out of fear of them, but to reload their ammunition!
p>

But he didn't expect that this would not be an accident. Even the short wheel-spring muskets commonly deployed by European cavalry at this time could not be loaded on horseback!

Among the Chechen cavalry, Abdullah was the most well-informed. The remaining cavalry were stunned when they saw this scene. Thinking of the miserable scene just now, they subconsciously stopped their horses!

Kitard inserted himself through the gap between the enemy's horses!

Unlike other cavalry, the cavalry in the first row are all his own soldiers, and they have two short muskets!

Then, he could use the same tactics again. The reason why he ran back was to let the remaining cavalry finish loading!

Due to the sudden halt of the horse, the formation of the Chechen cavalry was in chaos. When Kitard crossed the formation of the Chechen cavalry again with the sound of "bang bang" and turned the horse's head to face them, there were only three to four hundred cavalry left on the battlefield.

Standing dumbfounded in the cold wind of early spring evening.

In the eyes of ordinary Chechen cavalry, it is not as simple as completing the reloading on the horse, but the short musket in the hands of the Truchen cavalry opposite seems to be able to shoot non-stop!

The opportunity was too good to miss and it would never come again. Kitard took a deep breath again.

This time, facing the extremely low morale of the Chechen cavalry, he was ready to confront them head-on!

The moment they touched the ground, they still had a short blunderbuss in one hand and a saber in the other, as if the short blunderbuss could still be fired. This made the remaining Chechen cavalry dare not stay where they were. Even Abdullah was in a daze for a moment.

As he took the lead in escaping, a group of people followed him and started running wildly.

At this time, there are still two or three miles away from Alan City.

Kitard and the others followed closely, keeping a steady distance from Abdullah's cavalry, and then completed loading again the moment they arrived at Alan City.

"Bang..."

With a burst of gunfire, Kitard struck the horse hard with the barb of his right felt boot, and their cavalry quickly caught up with the Chechen cavalry!

After a strong wind blew by, his cavalry battle came to an end.

Only a dozen Chechen cavalry were left, still sitting on their horses in despair.

......

Alan City.

Both the Chechen and Ottoman cavalry fought equally with the Alan cavalry. One side was eager to take down the enemy in front of them, and behind the other side were more than 100,000 young and old people in the city, all of whom were fighting for their lives.

The Alans are an old tribe near the Caspian Sea and Hehai. They are also a large tribe with a long tradition of cavalry. They once succeeded the Huns and dominated Europe after their defeat. Therefore, although they are not as good as before, they still blocked Chechnya.

People, Ottoman attack.

But the Georgian infantry coming out of the city was obviously no match for the Ottomans, nor was it a match for the Chechens, each armed with a matchlock gun.

It only took less than half an hour for Kitard to defeat Abdullah. During this time, the Georgian infantry had suffered heavy casualties and was defeated in an instant.

Tie Chena and Shen Muhua kept Kitard's advice in mind.

"When the battle between the enemy and the Alans begins and becomes entangled before charging in, be careful to separate 500 cavalry from the flank of the enemy's infantry. The remaining 250 cavalry will assist the Alans in repelling the enemy's cavalry."

So, they entered the battle near the end of the battle between Kitard and Abdullah. Because Abdullah stared at Kitard and forgot to inform Aziz and Mansour, he was far away. The battle a few miles away did not reach them immediately.

Therefore, when Tie Chena and Shen Muhua each charged in with 750 cavalry, they thought they were coming to help them.

As the Truchen cavalry entered, the Ottomans and Chechens were immediately defeated. The Truchen cavalry's cavalry tactics quickly defeated the Chechen cavalry and the Ottoman cavalry, while the Truchen cavalry rushed into the Chechens from the flanks. When the Ottoman infantry formed a large formation, they were even more unstoppable.

Suddenly seeing that Truqin had rebelled, Aziz was immediately disappointed.

There were about a hundred cavalry beside him who never entered the battlefield. At this time, he knew that the situation was over, and the only plan for him now was to run away as soon as possible before the Truqin people and the Alan people encircled them.

He did the same thing. While the fighting was still fierce on the battlefield, he took one hundred cavalry and ran away first.

Naturally, Kitard would not let him go easily.

Aziz is the only Yenicheri nobleman in the entire Ottoman Empire who is secretly training the new army with the tacit approval of the Sultan and has the ambition to regain the North Caucasus. Once he escapes back to Georgia, he will definitely strengthen his troops and make a comeback at any time.

Once he dies in the North Caucasus, the view that "the new army is not useful" will completely drown out the view of learning from the West, and seclusion will become the mainstream. At that time, even if the news of his killing of Aziz finally reaches Istanbul , with the behemoth of the Russian Empire beside them, they will not easily cross the Caucasus Mountains.

As a result, he can devote all his energy to dealing with the Russians.

After an hour of pursuit, the Aziz crowd, which had been running like crazy, suddenly slowed down!

Kitard looked around and saw that he was already approaching Alagir!

Aziz wanted to escape back to Georgia, and the closest way back was from the north side of Alan City, but he shuddered when he thought that there were still a large number of Truqin cavalry there, so he chose to go back through the Alagir Pass, and then on this road At the end, go back to the mountain road behind Alan City.

After approaching Aziz and others, Chitard suddenly understood the cry of killing.

There are Cossacks blocking the way ahead!

He originally wanted to stop the pursuit, but after thinking about it, he was afraid that the Cossacks would get more information from the captured Aziz, so he gritted his teeth and urged the cavalry to fight in.

There were enemy troops blocking the front and pursuing troops behind. In less than half an hour, all the Ottomans, including Aziz, were tragically killed by swords.

So, Kitard met someone.

Dudanov.

Leader of the Kuban Cossacks!

The following dialogue is meaningful to both parties.

Du:Kalmyks?

Beggar: No, no, no, we are the exiled Junggar people. By the way, people around us now call us Truqin people

Du: Why did you get involved with the Ottomans?

Beggar: Although we are exiles, we are still a tribe under the protection of the Tsar. The Ottomans are your enemies, and it is right to be loyal to the Tsar

Du: Tell the truth! What on earth do you want to do?

Beggar: Ahem, we want the population of Alan City, and by the way, I have a good proposal

Du:Say!

Beggar: I hope that Truchin can control the Alan region, while the Alagil region and the Nalchik region will be controlled by you so that you can help each other. You know that the Chechens have always hated the Russians

Du:What then?

Beggar: I will pay taxes according to your practice in the Kuban area

Du:......

......

Dudanov finally returned with Aziz's body. For him, killing the pasha in charge of the entire West Georgia and Taman Peninsula in one battle was not as important to promotion as Rumyantsev and Suvo.

For Cossacks who are from noble backgrounds and are so fast, this is a great achievement.

What's more, although Truchin defeated the Ottoman and Chechen coalition forces, in his eyes, the greatest credit was caused by the Russians, and the Truchin people only achieved success because of their people.

Since they saved Alan City, they will not burn, kill, and loot there like the Chechens did. As for whose hands this land will eventually fall into, the Tsar will decide for himself after he accepts the fate of the new Eastern Ukraine Army.

By the time Kitard returned to Alan City, the war was over.

Following Chuhu'er's report, Kitard finally knew the final result.

"Mansour ran away, Abdullah died in the battle, and the Georgian leader in the city also died in the battle. In these days of fighting, the Christians in Alan City lost about 20,000 people, and also lost all their cavalry.
