Back to Ming Dynasty with Industrial Revolution System

Chapter 580 Counterattack
"Retreat!" Xin La once again led the army to attack the command office of the pioneer group with only 300 people, but was defeated without any accident, and could only retreat after leaving behind dozens of cold corpses.

Hundreds of Tsarist Russian soldiers died in battle on the hillside. The tragic situation of the battle was even more terrifying than the frontal battlefield.Yakovlev and Sinla were desperate.There were obviously only two to three hundred soldiers on the hillside, and they were not calling for reinforcements, but the Tsarist Russian army couldn't move forward, and sacrificed the lives of countless soldiers.Now the remaining 2000 or so soldiers are frightened, and even if Yakovlev and Xinla urge them, they dare not take a step forward.

"General Yakovlev, the opponent used a strange firearm far beyond our imagination. We continue to consume it just to die. I think they have been on guard for a long time. It is impossible for us to capture here in a short time anyway. How about..." Seeing that her companion had more or less scars on her body, Xin La couldn't help retreating.

"I can only retreat..." Yakovlev was also scared, and said unwillingly.

On the frontal battlefield, Grand Duke Dolgoluki also fell into despair.More than 2000 Tsarist Russian infantry and cavalry were killed and injured, but there is still no tendency to break through the frontier regiment's position.

"Damn... It seems that we have to withdraw our troops temporarily." Grand Duke Dolgoluki saw that he could not break through the opponent's position, and Yakovlev and Xinla seemed to have no progress, so he planned to withdraw his troops, "Wait until Yakov When Vlev and Xinla returned with their men, they gave up attacking their positions."

After a while, Yakovlev and Xinla returned to the camp with the remnants of the defeated soldiers. The surviving soldiers supported the wounded soldiers and wailed.A soldier's entire arm was broken by a metal bullet, and he only temporarily wrapped the wound with cotton cloth, screaming and screaming.

"What's going on with you two? You took 2000 cavalry, but only brought back more than [-], and most of them were injured!" Grand Duke Dolgoluki was very dissatisfied with the two of them.

Two people led 3000 people to attack a hillside with only a few hundred people. They should have taken it anyway. Grand Duke Dolgoluki, who had not seen the power of the machine gun, only saw the final result.

"Your Excellency, don't blame the two generals. The Eastern Army has strange muskets that can fire many bullets in an instant. We are like sheep waiting to be slaughtered in front of them, and we are completely powerless to resist." A Cossack cavalry dragged The injured leg pleaded for Yakovlev, only those who were present knew the horror of the machine gun!
"Strange muskets? What kind of muskets can help them defeat people ten times their size!" Grand Duke Dolgoluki questioned.

"A firearm that we have never seen before. It looks like a cannon, but it can fire a large number of bullets in an instant, just like a storm." Yakovlev's face was as pale as a piece of paper, and his fingers were still Trembling, "The mysterious East actually hides such a terrifying weapon, its strength is unbelievable!"

"Tell me carefully." The three became tigers, and Grand Duke Dolgoluki saw the soldiers who raided the headquarters of the Pioneering Regiment in one voice and confirmed a new type of firearm technology that was far more powerful than the technology mastered by the Tsarist Empire. weapons, and generally believed in the existence of this new type of weapon.

Yakovlev and Xinla experienced the horror of machine guns first-hand, and they were also the first generals of this era who dared to charge directly at the machine gun position.That is to say, Chu Yun has not yet been able to activate more advanced machine gun technology such as the Maxim machine gun, otherwise the people led by Yakovlev and Xinla may not be able to leave alone.

After listening to the two men's narration, Grand Duke Dolgoluki couldn't help frowning, and became afraid of this new weapon.The development of the situation far exceeded his imagination. More advanced muskets, artillery, and strange and powerful new weapons made the pioneer group that looked like sheep look like iron hedgehogs. advantage, but could not make any breakthroughs.

"This time there is no chance. If we can't eliminate the eastern army on the opposite side, we can't get out to support the Zhungeer Basin. When the eastern army occupies the Jungar Basin and encircles the Tomsk Bastion with the enemy on the opposite side, I'm afraid it will be very difficult for us." We can hold it. The Poles and Swedes are staring at Moscow, we can't stay in the east forever." Grand Duke Dolgoluki stroked his beard, his tone full of melancholy.

"Maybe we can still negotiate with them..." Yakovlev could only think of a way to negotiate.

If the Tsarist Russian Corps can destroy the Eastern Army on the opposite side, and then go south to the Zhungeer Basin, it can still fight with the Eastern Dynasty [-]-[-], but now it can't even beat an Eastern Army with thousands of people blocking them, let alone attack Zhunge The main force of the eastern army in the Seoul Basin.

"Negotiation may be a good choice for us now." Grand Duke Dolgo Luki nodded heavily.

Suddenly there was the sound of drums on the battlefield, making Yakovlev, Xinla and others look at the main battlefield, and found that the army on their side began to retreat.

"Duke, you ordered a retreat?!" Yakovlev said in surprise.

"Yes, I gave up my plan to continue the attack after you withdrew. Our soldiers have already suffered heavy casualties. If we continue to consume them, there may be a rebellion." Grand Duke Dolgoluki sighed.

In the Far East Corps temporarily formed by Tsarist Russia, there are many nationalities. Some of them are just employed and fight for money. But if they know that they are dead, they probably don't continue to rush to the mutiny.

"Oops!" Yakovlev seemed to have thought of something, "At this time, we should not rush to withdraw our troops, otherwise we might give the Eastern Army a chance!"

Grand Duke Dolgoluki didn't take it seriously: "Our soldiers have undergone strict training and retreated in an orderly manner, so there should be no chaos."

"No! We still seriously underestimated their combat effectiveness, and their commanders are likely to launch a counterattack at this time!" Yakovlev said solemnly, "I will lead the troops to cover the retreat of the attacking troops."

Not as good as Yakovlev's support, as he imagined, the Mobei cavalry serving as a reserve crossed the line of defense, and the soldiers of the Pioneer Regiment who rushed out of the line of defense began to launch a counterattack against the retreating Tsarist Russian army!

"The terrible Orientals are coming!" The original retreat formation of the Tsarist Russian army began to become disorganized, and then evolved into a large-scale retreat... and behind them, the Mongolian cavalry drove them away with rifles.
