Chapter 109
A very strange situation appeared on the battlefield, roughly similar to the Western Front of World War II.

Major General Alexei had completely withdrawn his army at this time, with a look of life and death.

If the opponent doesn't move, it is definitely impossible for Sheri Fali to charge directly with light cavalry. This is cavalry, not Gundam, so charge up to die.

As for what the Russian army is doing inside, this question is also easy to explain.

The offensive was not good, and it was definitely not a command issue of the great Major General Alexei, so the three brigade commanders were naturally scolded.After scolding, Major General Alexei analyzed it carefully, and then he came to a conclusion that the reason why his side failed to defeat the opponent in the first battle was because the pre-war plan was not discussed in detail enough.

So Major General Alexei specially pulled the officers in the army to hold a pre-war meeting, which lasted for two hours.

Basically, it was Major General Alexei who was speaking alone, saying that the Russian army was not good at cooperating, that the command was not good, and that they needed to cooperate with each other. The infantry should pay attention to shooting, the cavalry should pay attention to cover, and the artillery should pay attention to fire coverage.

After the meeting, the Russian army launched an offensive again.

It has to be said that although Major General Alexei has convulsions from time to time, he still has the most basic military qualities, as long as he is normal at this time.

The Russian army was organized again. Although their quality is not high and their command is average, the cooperation of multiple arms cannot be resisted by a single cavalry, especially the cavalry like the Circassians who are almost all cold weapons.

Under the full attack of the Russian army, the rout began.

The Circassian cavalry was no match for the combined army. After being entangled by the Russian cavalry, the free fire of the Russian infantry almost made the Circassians cry.

After resisting for a while, Sherifali led the cavalry into the valley. He said it was a valley, but it was actually a narrow path, which could hardly accommodate too many people. Major General Alexei was not stupid, he sent a small amount of troops Stuck at the mouth of the valley, and then began to personally lead the main force to pursue.

In the middle of the mountain road, a few Russian cavalry scouts threw the corpses off the cliff, shook their sabers, and prepared to go back to report to the battalion commander
There can be no ambushes in this place. Although the entire mountain is not tall, it is very steep, and it is not a place where people can hide

Among the mountains, a battalion commander of the Polish army put away his binoculars, came out from the bushes, and went to the rear.

This is where the ambush is hiding.

The battalion commander looked around again, led the men back into the bushes, and lifted the branches to reveal a cannon inside.

He didn't speak from beginning to end, what he thought was.

"If the Russians can find out about this, the Circassians won't be worthy of being the bosses here for so many years.

You know, this road is the place where the Circassians made their fortunes. Although Sochi in the west can pass people, the only way to pass goods is this road and the road near the sea in the east.

The main business of this group of Circassians in the early years was to ambush on this road and then rob.

Although this group of people no longer need to learn the skills of their ancestors, their understanding of this mountain road is still there. "

Picking up the binoculars, he squinted at Shandao.

Hundreds of Russian vanguard cavalry had passed.

Afterwards, the Russian infantry was holding the captured Circassians who hadn't escaped

"It's a trick, but we might have to let the Russians go a little deeper."

Sultan on the mountain was talking with the brigade commander Dombrowski stayed here.

The setting sun has set in the mountains in the distance, and the Russian army on the mountain road has never stopped, and they are still chasing Sherifali's cavalry forward.

Sultan said.

"Okay, get ready to fire now, start fighting from here, the Russian army can't go back.

Their fate is already doomed. "

The flag was waved, and the artillery ambushed on the mountain made a loud noise almost at the same time

"boom!"

There was a muffled sound from the gun barrel, and the shells were spit out directly, beating a group of Russian soldiers so far that they couldn't find their way. Many Russian soldiers died, some had their hands and feet broken, and some fell directly from the mountain road.

It wasn't just shells that could cause damage, many rocks also began to roll down.

The artillery did not stop, and the landslides continued.

The forward of the Russian army was almost defeated.

Alexei, who is in the middle army, is thinking about his reward. He has been in the Caucasus region for a long time. This ghostly place is not comparable to St. Petersburg. Asked the tsar to be transferred back, who wants to stay in this place where the birds don't shit.

While Alexei was recalling the tenderness he had experienced in St. Petersburg many years ago, the horse under his crotch was suddenly frightened, raised its front hooves, and neighed endlessly.

Alexei reined in the startled horse, looked up, and saw that the top of the mountain directly in front of him exploded, and the huge boulder was crumbling and crashing down.

To be honest, the Circassians have also thought about this plan. After all, with their strength, it is almost impossible to defeat the Russian army head-on, but they lack artillery, so they have to give up.

Dombrowski's army made this plan possible. After all, the equipment of the Polish army is still good.

In the case of being hit, it is almost impossible for the Russian army to turn defeat into victory in this terrain.

Victory is already evident.

Alexei wanted to flee back the same way, but the Circassian cavalry had already rushed up, and the captives also began to resist, and the artillery on the mountain did not stop.

As for the entrance of the valley, due to terrain considerations, the Russian army did not carry artillery. Such a road is not suitable for artillery operations at all, so Alexei arranged the artillery and a small number of infantry at the entrance of the valley. Dombrowski created chances.

Due to their surrender to the Ottoman Empire and blood feuds with Russia, Prussia, and Austria, the Polish hussars had already used red attire. Like the god of death, they ruthlessly harvested the Russian army at the mouth of the valley.

Now it's a catch in a urn.
