Start Being a Vassal King Today - Chapter 972

[Chapter 972 Status Quo]

“Bah bah bah…”

“Da da da…”

When the soldiers of Ross State fled, the sound of machine guns and Qin-style rifles firing could be heard endlessly.

The Russian army left behind a trail of corpses, and only three or four thousand people fled back to the Beidi camp in embarrassment.

“…”

In front of the camp, Mule Hongzhen and Negov were speechless for a long time, looking at the panic-stricken Ross soldiers.

“Colonel, we can’t rush through. Their weird muskets are too scary. They will continue to shoot at us. The firepower is too fierce.” A Russian officer was still in shock.

Negov looked miserable.

At this moment, he suddenly regretted his decision.

It was because he was too greedy, knowing that this weird musket was terrifying, he even launched an adventure.

The charge on the right had failed, and he believed that the charge on the left would soon fail too.

Sure enough, as he expected.

In just over ten minutes, the remaining hundreds of Beidi cavalry and the Russian army retreated from the battlefield.

Many remnants of defeated soldiers gathered in front of them, and the faces of Mu Lehongzhen and Negov were almost cloudy.

What annoyed the two even more was that after defeating the two-winged army they sent, the Dasong army put their weird muskets into the frontal battlefield, shooting the Beidi soldiers in the trench from the side.

With the coordination of frontal soldiers and flanking soldiers, Da Song’s army kept advancing at an astonishing speed, irresistible.

“Colonel Negov, we must organize an attack on the flank again, otherwise we will lose the trench position.” Mule Hongzhen said.

He has been in the army for more than 40 years, has experienced countless wars, and has also suffered major defeats.

Facing such an unfavorable battle situation, he calmed down before Negov.

“No, this is a refueling tactic, you can’t do that.” Negov woke up suddenly.

In this charge, he paid the lives of nearly ten thousand Ross soldiers, but did not achieve any results.

Had there been a second attack, the result would have been the same.

Unless they invest five or six times more troops than the opponent at one time.

But that’s simply not possible.

Because the terrain of Lingwu County is hindered by the mountains to the east, the battlefield is not wide enough.

As for the west, although there is the frozen Jin River for marching, the opponent’s artillery can smash the ice of the Jin River as long as it bombards the river.

At that time, their soldiers will surely fall into the water and freeze to death.

Because of this, he said that this was a refueling tactic, which was useless.

After all, he explained it to Mule Hongzhen.

When Mu Lehong heard the words, a layer of cold sweat broke out behind his back.

He was so bewildered that he didn’t think of these details.

Seeing that neither this nor that would work, he stomped his feet fiercely, “Colonel Negov, what do you think should be done?”

Negov didn’t answer, just paced back and forth, constantly weighing.

In the fighting between you and me these days, the Beidi army led by Mule Hongzhen and Ulanba suffered heavy losses.

This time going south, Mule Hongzhen personally commanded 300,000 Beidi cavalry, 350,000 infantry, Ulanba commanded 80,000 cavalry, 150,000 infantry, and his 30,000 Rus soldiers.

In the last battle with the Dasong cavalry, the cavalry led by Ulanba went to 60,000 people, but less than 3,000 came back.

More than 100,000 of the 120,000 cavalry sent by Mule Hongzhen fled back, but they were all beheaded by Mule Hongzhen in a rage.

Now, only 200,000 of the thirty-eight cavalry under the two men remained.

And their nearly 500,000 infantry, of which 300,000 are servants.

During this period of time, you come and go to fight.

These servants were like cannon fodder, and they were constantly ordered to rush out of the trench to serve as human shields for Beidi soldiers to resist bullets, causing huge casualties.

At present, there are only about 150,000 servants left to fight, but their morale has been extremely low, and deserters keep appearing.

Although the Beidi infantry had fewer casualties, they were only relative to the servants, and there were more than 70,000 casualties.

In other words, before the Dasong army launched a counterattack today, they only had 200,000 cavalry and about 280,000 infantry left.

But now, after Da Song’s army launched a full-scale counterattack, their casualties are increasing sharply.

If this continues, I’m afraid they will wipe out the whole army.

He stopped suddenly, and said: “Khan said that Dasong people have a saying that if we keep green hills, we will not worry about firewood. Now, we must retreat to the grasslands to preserve our strength.”

“What!” Mu Lehong really I couldn’t believe my ears.

This time, he tried his best to seize the opportunity of besieging Da Song and destroy Da Song completely.

Now, after his heavy losses, Negov actually asked him to retreat, how could he accept it?

“Colonel Negoff, I cannot agree. Even if I am the only one left in Beidi, I will fight to the end.” Mule Hongzhen rejected Negoff’s proposal.

Negov was in a hurry, “Khan, you are committing suicide. Didn’t you see clearly the battle just now? Your cavalry are weak toddlers in front of those weird muskets.” After

a pause, he He continued, “My suggestion is for Beidi’s good, withdraw to the west, to the westernmost point of your territory, which is closest to our capital, Petersburg. At that time, we can provide you with more support.”

He naturally I can’t bear Beidi’s thug to decline and die.

Having seen with their own eyes the power of Dasong’s soldiers and horses, they need to continue to arm the Beidi people to contain Dasong on the vast grassland.

Mu Lehong was really unmoved, and just said coldly, “Will you Ross people give up the extreme north?”

“This…” Negov choked.

Naturally, they would not want to take away the territories they seized, unless they stepped on their bones.

Shaking his head, he looked at Ulan Ba.

Ulanba showed a powerless expression.

Once his father Khan made a decision, it would not change.

“Da da da…”, “Bang bang bang…”, “Boom boom…” The

battle continued, and the Dasong soldiers occupied one trench after another, and kept approaching the Beidi camp.

Seeing this, Mule Hongzhen’s eyes showed a crazy killing intent.

He whispered something to Bamdan.

Ba Mudan nodded and turned to enter the camp.

Not long after, 20,000 cavalry charged from the side of Zhutou Mountain to the left.

This number is basically the maximum number of cavalry that can be accommodated on the left-wing battlefield.

On the right, 80,000 cavalry charged.

Due to the large number, many cavalry could only gallop on the Jin River.

“Crazy, crazy.” Negov shook his head again and again, he said to Ulan Ba, “I will not let my soldiers die so stupidly again.” After

that, he ordered the officers under his command to withdraw from the Beidi camp. Retreat to the far north.

Seeing that the Russian army was about to leave, General Beidi immediately stopped them, and the two sides confronted each other.

Mule Hongzhen shook his hand at this moment, signaling for Negov to leave.

He was indeed on the verge of madness with rage, but he hadn’t completely lost his mind.

If the war situation is irretrievable, his son Ulanba still needs the support of Ross State.
