C1638 Cossack (1/2)
All these Cossack s who had travelled thousands of miles to come from the Central Asia, never would they have thought that the Shizheng would set up such a bewitching array for them. The vanguard camp Major looked at the straight and horizontal black lines on the wide surface of the ice and shouted in shock, ”My god! What is this? What the hell is the Chinese doing? ”
”I've heard that the Chinese are the best farmers in the world. Are they going to plant some crops on the ice? It looks like farmland! ”
”Idiot!” ”Shut up!” The major was so angry that he crooked his nose and shouted at the soldiers beside him, ”vanguard camp, control the river banks and disperse these Qing Guo Nu slaves.
More than five hundred cavalrymen started to spread, and all the survivors in Jiangbei scattered in fear. Very soon, the north bank of the ferry was isolated, and more and more flags started to appear behind the front lines of the cavalry unit.
On the highest slope of the Black Dragon River's Southern Bank, atop a wooden watchtower that was four stories high, the Hun Chun was observing the movements on the other side. When he saw that more and more black dots were appearing on the vast expanse of white snowy plains in the north, and in the end had actually formed into a tide that swallowed all of the whiteness, he knew that the main force of the Cossack had finally arrived.
It was a lie that the thirty thousand Cossack s already brought seventy thousand war horses. It could be said that this locust like army had already plundered the Northern Mongolia, which was also known as the Desert North Plains.
So many war horses were not something one or two tribes could provide. These should be formed from the wealth of two or three rivers and hundreds of tribes on more than ten grasslands.
Hidden Fog Kid also broke out in a cold sweat. She was not a person who had never seen the world before. From Japan to Ryukyu, then to Jiangnan and the capital city, she had seen countless of big scenes.
However, she had never seen such a violent cavalry charge before. How was this an army?! This was a sea! Layers upon layers of waves!
”Eight!” If there were more than a thousand cavalrymen fighting in our Fusang, it would already be recorded in history. Today, I actually saw sixty to seventy thousand war horses galloping together! God of Heaven, the foundation of the continent's civilization is not something we, the island nations, can imagine! ”
Hun Chun clenched her fists and said fiercely, ”Don't worry, we can withstand it! Luckily, this is a pure cavalry unit, if they were able to bring infantry and artillery here after half a year of preparation, we would really be in danger! ”
What he said was right, if the fifty thousand Cossack cavalry s were to bring eighty to ninety thousand warhorses and an army of fifty thousand infantry and artillery, then such an army would definitely be unstoppable in the Far East.
Even Xiao Letian's brave soldiers had to avoid this attack. With infantry, there would definitely be engineers, and with engineers, there would naturally be craftsmen. When the mountains met with water, they would fill up the bridges, and with the endless wood in the Far East Region, it was entirely possible for them to create enough ships and rafts for the army. It was even possible for them to build a pontoon.
Fortunately, Sha Russia was anxious for help. Luckily, there were only cavalry soldiers here. Otherwise, the river burst defense tactics would not be of much use.
Not only that, Hun Chun really had to thank albus pallidus. If not for the old man's clever plan of destroying the ice in a flash, it would have been impossible for the entire riverbed to be destroyed this evening.
”Look!” The Russian began to probe as they crossed the river, and their cavalry reached the surface of the ice. ”
Cossack of Jiangbei sent three squads of troops to carefully step on the ice from three different directions. There were no problems when they reached the river bank, but after advancing twenty meters and entering the second grid, they heard strange sounds coming from beneath the ice surface.
”Not good, the ice is about to collapse, quickly retreat …” The cavalry of the three classes turned around and ran for not even a second.
