215 Shotgun Volley
"Oh no!"
Kabdovsky looked at the Han army's fast-paced cannon, spreading the two wings of the main formation that was receiving the enemy at an "incredible" speed, and couldn't help but exclaim in despair.
Because the two flanking artillery teams of the Han army deployed their defense positions, they were too close to the Russian main formation, and they could even bombard the shotgun!
The shotgun bombardment distance of the three-pound cavalry field cannon naturally cannot be compared with the 12-pound field cannon and the 6-pound infantry field cannon, but it is farther than the musket range in the end.
At this time, the two wings of the Russian main formation appeared disconnected again. Isn’t this the opportunity to massacre the Han army with shotguns on both wings?
Everything is going as Xiao Yunyang expected!
In fact, the actions of weak troops of the Russian army of gray animals are easily calculated on the battlefield.
It is difficult for weak troops to control the initiative on the battlefield, and whoever controls the initiative on the battlefield can force the enemy to fight at their own pace.
Naturally, the enemy is forced to fight at their own pace, and it is not difficult to infer the enemy's reactions and actions.
Terrible enemies are often the kind of elite troops, because elite troops often make some unimaginable achievements.
For example, the defensive belt that was supposed to be as solid as a rock suddenly broke through by the enemy's elite troops. As a result, all the tactical plans made before were meaningless and they wanted to overthrow and start over again!
However, in normal wars between countries, weak troops and elite troops are usually matched with each other. Elite troops are specially used to break the deadlock. Even if the party with the advantage, it is difficult to truly control the battlefield and accidents occur frequently.
Every accident may completely turn the battlefield.
When Xiao Yunyang was relatively weak, he faced those strong enemies and repeatedly fought unexpected battles, which caught the opponent who had the advantage off guard. Starting from losing the initiative on the battlefield, he gradually steadily headed towards the road to defeat.
If Kabdovsky had an elite force in his hand at this time, he would naturally be able to turn the tables. The simplest and most direct way was to raid the artillery positions of the Han army.
By taking over the artillery positions of the Han army, the Russian army's sluggish morale will recover to a certain extent, while the Han army will lose nearly half of its artillery advantages.
As one rises and the other falls, the Russian army's military strength advantage can be perfectly exerted.
It’s a pity that Kabdovsky does not have such elites.
Even the two troops sent by him to attack the Han army on both sides knew that they would huddle behind and move forward slowly...
I haven't entered the battlefield yet!
It has to be said that the gap between the military literacy between the two sides is too big.
Those gray animals of the Russian army were even worse than those of the white Han army veterans who were used as cannon fodder by Xiao Yunyang.
Whether it is individual combat effectiveness, morale, or weapons and equipment, they are not opponents at the same level.
Boom boom boom boom...
The three-pound cavalry field cannons on both wings opened their arms and sprayed shotguns. Although the power and range of the three-pound cavalry field cannon sprayed are not as powerful and range as the 12-pound cavalry field cannon and six-pound field cannon, the three-pound cavalry field cannon also has an advantage - fast loading.
The result was that round of shotguns flew towards the central army of the Russian main formation, which was already under three-sided shooting.
After just three rounds of shotguns, the main Russian army in front of the protruding force was already everywhere and could no longer hold on!
Their casualties were only a thousand, but for gray animals, such huge casualties in a short time were enough to destroy their spirits.
Even those grassroots officers can’t stand the pressure!
So the Lu Army in the main formation in front of the convex collapsed under the 'what everyone hoped'.
The soldiers in the front row kept retreating, and many even threw away their weapons just to escape better.
The soldiers in the back row saw the bodies everywhere, and after retreating with their colleagues in the front row, they also began to follow the trend.
The two wings of the Russian army, who were advancing at a speed in the rear, stopped moving forward as if they were relieved.
However, there was no sound of retreating in the rear, so the Russian army on both wings did not retreat, but formed a defensive team on site.
But soon they realized that their ideas were too naive.
While the Russian main formation collapsed in the middle, Xiao Yunyang also issued an order to attack the entire army.
The Han army had few soldiers, so naturally the entire army had to suppress the reserve team!
The three-pound cavalry cannons on both wings were replaced with solid bullets and fired at the complete array of Russian wings.
Of course, six-pound field guns and 12-pound field guns also began to switch targets and bombard the established Russian army sequence.
Only the 12-pound field artillery was aimed directly at the reserves and cavalry in the rear of the Russian army.
The shouts of killing all over the sky even overwhelmed the sound of gunfire. In the eyes of the white Han veterans who were charging, this would be another big victory. Following the Han emperor, it was so comfortable for the soldiers and would never defeat a war!
In the Han army, both musketeers, spearmen, and even the white soldiers holding flexible melee weapons, all bravely moved forward and formed a strong impact array.
The Han army fiercely rushed to completely swallow up the troops that the Russian main formation finally tried to resist in the middle, further increasing the scale and speed of the collapse of the middle.
After the two wings of the Russian army were bombarded by artillery fire, the tight formation once again became chaotic. When the main formation of the Han army rushed up, it just happened to crash into the two wings of the Russian army, which was chaotic by artillery fire.
The fierce battle lasted for only more than ten minutes, and the Russian army, which had two wings, collapsed!
Admiral Kabdovsky seemed to have expected this situation, and the gray animals of the Tsarist Russian local army were at this level. Not only were they lagging behind in their military equipment, but they were actually not fully trained.
After all, long-term training costs a lot of money!
If the Tsarist Russian Empire had money, it would have long been the world!
If you train millions of gray animals well, even if you can reach the level of the white Han army, and then arm your gunpowder weapons, who can stop it?
The only thing that grey animals rely on when fighting is the ruthless force of the attack at the beginning, because after the Russian army wins, they have the glorious tradition of robbery, and soldiers can get all the spoils they get.
This made the Russian army's gray animals eager for war. After all, the gray animals were so poor that they only had their lives left!
The combat effectiveness of gray animals is based on poverty.
However, when this ruthless force was discharged, the combat power of the gray animals was revealed, and the speed of collapse spread was quite efficient...
General Kabdovsky saw that he had sent 4,000 Russian troops to both wings, and did not play any role, and even collapsed with the main formation, he made his final efforts.
Anyway, if he loses this battle, he will be nothing, so he will naturally throw all the chips in his hand on the gambling table and rush.
Chapter completed!
