Chapter 17 Maozi doesn't seem to be very powerful Part 1
() Probably because the food in the army was not good enough, and the area near Kiev was completely wiped out. They didn't even have a sentry post. They either roasted themselves in the village, drank wine and ate meat, or had fun in the wooden house.
I have looted many villages, and my impression of Polish village girls can be rated as two or three. Many of them are probably a little better than Ruhua with a booger, and the strong body can tell at a glance that they have been worked hard.
, of course, the younger ones can still hit four or five, but very few, because they are pretty
The bright ones are all in the wealthy landlords or the castles of the nobles. Polish serfs have no human rights, let alone the right of first night here. If the nobles and landlords want to have sex every night, the legal wife of your old serf must be the bride every night. This is comparable to
The first-night rights of the nobility promulgated by England under the rule of Scotland were much more ruthless.
With a compassionate heart that I came to help the poor Polish serfs escape from the sea of misery, I asked the Polish Hussars to rush into the village first, with a burst of swords and sword stabs, and then the Chasseurs rushed in as the second group. This time,
They were firing guns everywhere and heading straight for where the Russians were firing their horses.
The sea of fire started from the middle of the wooden house, horses neighed and people screamed, and the scene was chaotic. However, although it happened suddenly, the quality of the Russians was still worthy of recognition. Some were half-drunk, bleary-eyed, holding up their pants or just bare their buttocks.
, he just picked up everything he could and walked out of the cabin.
In the sea of fire, the arrogant Russia could not help but chop up the Poles who were running around them, and then...it was very sad that some of them even started to fight among themselves. What a tragedy.
In the firelight, black shadows followed one after another. As soon as the Russian horses were freed from the restraints of the ropes, they ran wildly around in the sea of fire, making the chaotic village even more chaotic.
The cavalry rushed into the village from the south, rushed out from the north, continued to fight back to the village from the east, and then came out from the west. At this time, the three infantry battalions were divided into three groups to surround the entrance of the village, forming a line of eight people and ten people in a row.
A line of columns.
With the sound of advancing drums, they walked slowly towards the village. Along the way, Russians kept jumping out with sabers, benches and wooden sticks, but they were soon killed by the infantry in the front row.
"Change row!"
Following the shouts of the frontline officers, the infantrymen who had shot off their bullets withdrew from the two columns and retreated to the last column. They shot off their bullets in the entire column, and the next column replaced them. As early as the ancient Roman period, Rome
People just play
As a veteran of columns and company columns, the most famous column formation, the turtle formation, was invented by the Romans. Now we use this push-type column, which is called a hedgehog in Rome. Reduce the front to increase the depth of the troops, and fire guns throughout the entire column while walking.
After the column finished shooting,
, the next column will take over the task of breaking through, and they will continue to cycle and advance to squeeze the enemy's space until they break through the enemy's defense line. Although I don't understand why the Romans can't be as artistic and imaginative as the Chinese.
The Sovereign Formation, the Eight-door Golden Lock Formation, the Soaring Dragon and the Tiger Leap Formation, the All-Pingrong Formation, etc., are all very powerful formations at first glance, but in terms of effectiveness, the hedgehog is not bad in street fighting.
There is a premise here, the enemy does not have cannons.
The courage of these Russians is indeed commendable, but sometimes the outcome of a war cannot be determined by courage alone. They are completely at a disadvantage in terms of quantity, quality, and equipment. In addition, the incident happened suddenly.
Many people were extremely drunk, and there was no effective fight at all. The battle was completely one-sided. Rather than calling it a battle, it would be more appropriate to call it a one-sided massacre.
Before they even got close, the infantry weakened them with their flintlock muskets. They fired in a round, watching the people around them fall one by one. When they got closer, the soldiers in the front row had already replaced their rifles with muskets.
Soldiers with bullets, even if they can't fire their guns, can always fight with more and less, several groups can fight one by one, and a Russian can be killed in one bayonet thrust.
Step by step, I suppressed the Russians who were encroaching on the villages and fighting on their own. Through observation, I found that the Russian cavalry troops were extremely short of firearms. The Russians who blocked our attack along the way rarely had guns. It was unlike Rome, where the Chasseurs could do it with just one manpower.
A carbine. Although the cuirassiers did not have guns, the stamped steel armor on their chests was enough to make them fearless in the face of swords. However, thanks to their cavalry units not being heavily armed with guns, we suffered almost no damage.
In less than half a day, this Russian cavalry formation became history, and the corpses of Russians and Poles were everywhere.
The village was blazing with fire. Maybe it was because of the cold weather these days. The soldiers left the loot on the ground and put their hands by the fire to warm themselves. Anyway, the fire was already burning, and there were no Russians in a short period of time. I asked
Xing also asked the army to cook grain and dried meat here, melt the wine, and have a feast.
The warm broth poured into my mouth, and I burst into tears: "What if I can never eat it again."
In the days that followed, I led my troops to attack the Russians everywhere. Although there were many Russians, they were scattered around to collect food.
After two battles, I found that I liked this kind of attack. The casualties were extremely low and the results were outstanding. There was a long queue, hundreds of vehicles carrying the most urgently needed supplies for the Russians, accompanied by chickens, ducks and cattle.
Sheep, the entire grain collection team was guarded by less than a hundred people. Once the cavalry charged, those infantry were basically finished. What to do next
The first thing to do is to burn the grain trucks. Due to the winter, the sun sets early, and the battle is settled before dark. Burn the grain on fire, and the thick smoke will be difficult for the Russians in the distance to detect. In addition, it seems that the first
The cavalry team that was killed first that night was the largest cavalry of the Russians, and the Russians had no power to fight back.
But the most important thing is that we have cavalry. A large number of cavalry takes the initiative. We can appear around the Russian food transport team when we want to appear.
Furthermore, on the night of the first night raid, we captured a lot of Russian horses. Since many of them were soldiers from Anatolia, riding horses was not a problem at all. After several raids, we captured a lot of Russian horses.
The horses were equipped by us, and the mobility of the entire army was greatly enhanced. The Russians could not play whatever they wanted.
But equipping a large number of horses is not without its disadvantages. Horses eat more than people. If this continues, the Russians will not die, and the horses will eat us to death!
Four attacks were carried out in eleven days, killing more than 400 Russians, burning more than 400 grain trucks, scaring away countless chickens, ducks, cattle and sheep, and saving hundreds of Poles. For those who let the Russians
The oppressive Poles, I have our Polish Hussars
Tell them that our army that rescued them from the sea of misery is the people's army. It is the people of the rebellious Poles in the south who came north to rescue their compatriots. We gave them some food, cattle and sheep, and Russian weapons, and let them arrive.
Go south and join the rebel groups.
I think I should collect them as soon as they are ready. If we don't, the Russian fishing nets will come to collect us.
But before I left, I thought I could still take a risk and make a big fortune.
We hid part of our troops and let the few Russian officers and soldiers who were specially captured for the fourth time visit Ritomir's grain farm, and carefully revealed our troop strength and the news that we would leave after a while during the interrogation.
So he let them go on a dark and windy night.
After Assassin made sure that the Russians had all mounted the stolen horses and escaped without any danger, he came back and asked, "Will the Russians come?"
I think they will come: "You must have encountered such a situation sometimes, and you have made a big mistake. If you are discovered, there is only a dead end and your future is ruined. If it were you, what would you do for your future?
?”
"Try every means to remedy the situation." Assassin said without any doubt.
I nodded with deep understanding: "Didn't we burn a lot of their food some time ago? Will the Russian dog officer in charge of food collection report the big mess he dug up? If we were here alone, the Russians wouldn't
It will definitely come immediately, but we have a large amount of food stored here,"
"If the Russian officers can obtain food, even if they barely complete the mission, the huge price they have paid can be used to protect the food to get a lighter sentence or to offset the merit. So I think the Russians do have a reason to come.
Take a risk.”
The terrain around Ritomir is flat, and there is no hiding place in the city. I would not think that the Russians would be foolish enough to be attacked by us here, so I decided to hide my team at the ferry of the Teterev River next to Ritomir.
.The ferry there is close to the mountains and forests, and it may be the point of crossing to the west. If we can attack it halfway across, it would be perfect.
After waiting for a few days, the Russians did not disappoint. Across a frozen river, the sentinel brought news of Russia's arrival!
As expected, a few Russians brought a large number of Russians!
Pig players like Jiang Gan are really awesome!
