After more than half a year of long journeys, the Ming army finally began the first battle to advance into Tsarist Russia.

When the Ming army vanguard advanced northward, Russia also sent troops south to resist the Ming army's attack.

These Russian troops heading south had about 5,000, and were affiliated with the Volga Legion and were the vanguard of the Russian army. The soldiers were all fierce and had a hot temper. I heard that they were angry and even dared to kill themselves.

Although Li Dingguo, the vanguard of the Ming army, didn't know how they killed him, the Russian army was not even enough to block his teeth!

The Russian vanguard was not a reckless man or an ignorant person, but a real elite soldier, including some shooting troops.

The shooting army is a garrison of Tsarist Russia. It is equipped with muskets and is responsible for Moscow defense. The shooting army infantry generally cooperates with and supports the noble cavalry units on the battlefield.

The fact that some shooting troops were able to bring in showed that the Tsarist Russian Crown Prince Fedor who went back was indeed popular and wanted to find a place.

These five thousand Russian troops were all infantry. They knew that the Ming army had always used night to rush to explore the way with cavalry, and planned to ambush halfway.

The Russian army, familiar with the terrain, ambushed behind a Gaogang, and quietly waited for the lonely Ming army with cold weapons.

In the afternoon, dark clouds rose everywhere, covering the sky and the sun.

On Gaogang, some of the Russian soldiers who were waiting were cursing and complaining about why the Ming army had not appeared yet.

Some prayed, hoping that the Ming army would never show up.

After about two hours, the vanguard of the Ming army slowly appeared in sight, and the dark Ming army cavalry was almost endless.

The vanguard of the Ming army approached the place where the Russian vanguard was ambushed. Many Russian soldiers were nervous and swallowed their saliva. Several officers who had participated in the Western Regions War were even more scared and their legs were trembling.

The painful experience of being chased by the Dragon Martial Army more than ten years ago seems to be vivid in my mind, and it is like bad luck in my heart!

Slowly, the heavy sound of the Ming army's horses knocked the ground trembling. The ambushed Russian army could even see the heat coming out of the nostrils of the war horses, and the bright red dragon flag was as dazzling as the sun!

As the Ming cavalry got closer, the commander of Lao Chen's Russian commander gave the order, the ambushers shot in a mess, then jumped up and rushed towards the Ming army.

The Russian army used "advanced" rifle (front-mounted), which is equivalent to a Heding rifle. It takes more than ten seconds to load, so they can't afford to wait!

Moreover, there were only 5,000 Russian troops raiding, but the Ming army had only a thousand cavalry, which seemed to be the establishment of a cavalry regiment.

The Russian army suddenly came out, which caught the Ming army vanguard off guard. Although most of the Russians were infantry, a few people surrounded a cavalry, and they rushed forks and axes. Who could not stand it?

Moreover, the Russians are tall and tough, basically a situation of several attacks or close combat, which is extremely unfavorable to the cavalry.

This Ming army vanguard regiment never expected that the Russians would dare to take the initiative!

The characteristic of the Ming army was that they were not arrogant and despicable to win. After encountering a surprise attack, the cavalry regiment general immediately ordered to retreat immediately and stabilize the formation again.

Seeing that the Ming army was beaten away, thousands of Russian soldiers shouted desperately with their weapons and cheered for their victory.

At this moment, the Mingqi team completed the team and came back again!

They surrounded these excited Russian troops like a wave of red.

The Russian army was stunned at first, then their faces changed suddenly, and the colonel shouted desperately to organize a counterattack.

The Russians were indeed very fierce. They did not retreat. After panic, they picked up the guys to resist the charge of the Ming cavalry.

But war is a technical job. Faced with professional Ming cavalry, what good results can the Russian army have on both legs?

At a long distance, the Ming cavalry first shot wildly with muskets, and then pulled out their cavalry and sabers.

Similarly, the Russian army was shooting, yelling and shooting.

The shocking sound of the earth sounded again, and the sound of iron hooves hitting the ground was like the bell of death, ringing in the hearts of the Russian army.

The Mingqi rushed to the front quickly, and before the Russian soldiers' weapons were raised, the saber had already cut off their vital points.

There was no suspense in the final result. Half an hour later, most of the 5,000 Russian soldiers were killed! Only a small number of lucky people fled in panic.

After the battle, the Ming army immediately launched a pursuit, and despite the hot weather, they advanced together.

For the Ming army, this blocking battle was like a pebbles thrown into the lake, leaving only a circle of tiny ripples, and disappeared immediately.

It can be said that this small resistance organized by the Russian army did not have any hindering effect on the advancement of the Ming vanguard army.

At dawn, Li Dingguo led a vanguard army to Liangzan, where he met the Russian main Cossack Cavalry Regiment.

This time the scene was completely changed. The Ming army was mainly infantry and the Russian army was mainly cavalry.

But the Cossack cavalry just couldn't get any benefits. They surrounded the Ming army for fighter planes like African hyenas.

Li Dingguo immediately ordered the phalanx of each unit in brigade to resist the attack of the cavalry.

There are bayonets in the square formation, and the cold light is imminent. There are cannons in all four corners of the square formation.

To prevent the water source from being cut off, one of the brigades's square arrays were close to the Oka River.

At sunrise, bands from various brigades played "Ode to the Imperial Ming" in the center of the phalanx, preparing to welcome the battle.

Facing the thick bayonets of the Ming army, the Cossack cavalry were not afraid. They shouted and launched a brave attack, but were soon counterattacked by the Ming army and had to be defeated.

The Cossack cavalry charged again, but still had no results. The Ming army's square formation was like a copper wall and iron wall, not moving at all.

Under the pressure of the Ming army's powerful firepower, the Cossack cavalry had to retreat to Ryazan.

At dusk on the second day, Zhu Cilang's imperial lord arrived in Liangzan, and the ancient city that had been destroyed by the Mongolian army was right in front of him.

The city of Ryazan was built on the Oka River. The lower half of the city wall was built with soil, and the top was built with oak and oak boards. It was placed in the Ming Dynasty and was built with 18th-tier city defense.

Europe does not attach importance to castle defense. Except for a few important big cities and strategic fortresses to build bastions, there are basically no city defenses in other places.

It was precisely because of this situation that the Mongolian army could fully launch the advantage of cavalry maneuvers, sweeping across the Eurasian continent like a hurricane.

Just when everyone talked about the massacre of the Mongolian army, Zhu Cixuan climbed a hillside and found that the main force of the Russian army had already been waiting for battle around Liangzan City and on both sides of the Oka River.

On the left bank is the Ukrainian Legion, on the right bank is the Volga Legion. Behind the two major legions, there seems to be more people, probably around the city of Ryazan is the Central Legion.

Obviously, the Russian army came prepared and planned to fight in the wild.

Zhu Cixuan did not dare to act rashly. The Russian army had supported Liang Zan for two years and made a lot of preparations for the surrounding area, such as strengthening the walls and clearing the battlefield, preventing the Ming army from not accepting them at night.

Moreover, according to Zhu Cixuan's judgment, their people are definitely more than that!

Because the Russian army had six major legions, King Zhu Heji of Han reported that the total number of Ukrainian legions was only 30,000, including a large number of nomadic soldiers, the Volga legion also included a large number of militias, with about 30,000 troops.

The Central Army has the largest number of troops, with as many as 120,000 troops!

In addition to these three legions, there are three more. Zhu Ciyang felt that the Ming Dynasty's campaign against Tsarist Russia could not increase its troops?
Chapter completed!
