Chapter 1043
To the west of Suiye City, in a forest, more than a thousand Tsarist Russian cavalrymen wearing black cloaks and leather hats, with a cavalry sword about one meter long hanging from their waists, stood standing with spears in their hands.

The leading officer was wearing a gray coat and a woolen hat, holding a brass knife handle, and staring at Suiye City in the distance.

In the middle of the seventeenth century, it was the era of the rapid expansion of the Tsarist Russian Empire. Just a few months ago, Tsarist Russia successfully annexed Ukraine, which made the entire empire even more arrogant.

There is a proverb in Europe that if you tear open a Russian, you will find a Tatar.

The Mongols have ruled Russia for hundreds of years, and the blood of the Tatars has already flowed in the bones of the Russians.

The increasingly powerful Tsarist Russian Empire inherited the nomadic gene and began to expand rapidly.

The double-headed eagle was not only staring, but Poland in the west also locked its eyes on Central Asia.

As far as Tsarist Russia is concerned, unless it can be beaten to the ground and completely wiped out, as long as he is given a chance, he will come up to nibble you and devour you.

Such an opponent is undoubtedly very difficult, because as long as you can't eliminate him, he still has a chance to make a comeback and defeat you in turn.

In history, Tsarist Russia repeated such stories again and again.

Although Tsarist Russia learned from the intelligence that the Wei State is quite powerful, but the genes of expansion made them dare to pull out their teeth.

Previously, Tsarist Russia invaded Xiaoyuzi and forced Xiaoyuzi to end its vassal relationship with the Great Wei.

This time, their goal was Suiye City. As long as Wei Guo's nail in Central Asia was pulled out, Tsarist Russia would be able to control the entire Central Asia, and Jiang's sphere of influence would expand to the west of the Tianshan Mountains and the Zhungeer Basin.

In the early morning, the sun shines on the earth, the door of Suiye Chengchen is opened, and the Tsarist Russian striker, who is accompanied by a businessman, mixes in the team, combines with the inside and outside of the inside and outside of the city, and then seizes the city gate in one fell swoop.

Although Suiye is a small city, its defenses are complete. There are cannons in the city, and there are two gates. It is a simple bastion.

If such a city is attacked hard, the Russian army will suffer huge losses, so the Russian army decided to attack suddenly and seize the city.

Suiye City is not big, there are [-] Wei troops stationed inside, and the defensive force is sufficient. The key to raiding the city is to seize the city gate, and then rush in.

For the convenience of defense, Suiye City has only two gates, east and west, and each gate has two gates, inner and outer. Normally, the two gates will not be opened at the same time.

This made the Russian army's surprise attack more difficult. A surprise attack from the outside can only occupy the outer door at most. Once the Wei army is alert, they will stick to the inner door, and the raid will inevitably fail.

Therefore, the young Russian general Zorevsky, one day in advance, dispatched a gap to sneak into the city, preparing to launch a surprise attack by the Russian army and seize the outer gate. At the same time, the inner should seize the inner gate, control the two city gates, and then the cavalry poured in. Massacre the Wei people in the city.

At this time Zulevsky picked up the binoculars and stared at the city gate. There were many more caravans coming to Suiye City today than usual, which made him frown slightly.

This made the general of the Russian army a little worried, whether the sudden appearance of so many caravans would affect his plan, and whether the defenders in the city would conduct an investigation when they saw the increase in caravans.

Zulevsky looked dignified, and hoped that the defenders would not raise their vigilance and prevent the Russian army from seizing the door. But then again, even if they failed to seize the door, it would be a Tatar who died. This is also Zulevsky. Because of the city, it was not the Russians who died anyway.

The queue was very long, and just when Zulevsky was about to lose his patience, there was a sudden commotion in front of Suiye City, followed by killing sounds, and the caravans queuing up broke up and fled to both sides.

"Ula~" Seeing this, Zulevsky was overjoyed, immediately drew out his saber, pointed at Suiye City, and roared loudly.

"Ulla~" The Cossack wearing a leather hat, brandishing a bright saber, screamed and galloped forward. The row of cavalry rushing to the front actually held a three-meter-long spear.

A thousand Russian troops rushed out roaringly, and they were also arrogant. More than 1000 people dared to attack Suiye City, where three thousand Wei troops were stationed.

Zulevsky was galloping, pointing his sharp saber forward, and the cavalry rushed towards Suiye City like a torrent. The defenders on the city hurriedly fired cannons and guns, and the shells fell into the enemy group. People howled and horses neighed, and the horses and knights rolled , but could not stop the charge of the Cossack cavalry.

The Cossack cavalry at the forefront first passed through the gate and rushed into the city, followed by the cavalry behind, but the cavalry soon realized that something was wrong.

"It's not right!" The walls on both sides of the passage were silent, and the Russian generals in the passage frowned and shouted urgently.

Suddenly a sharp and loud horn sounded, and the cavalry in the passage raised their heads vigilantly and looked around. At this moment, countless figures suddenly stood up on the walls on both sides.

"Back back!" Zulevsky immediately understood what was going on, but it was too late.

"Bang bang bang~" The whistling sound of muskets came like a gust of wind, white smoke rose above their heads, and bullets shot down like raindrops.

Undecided, the crowded cavalry were hit by bullets, and their mournful wailing soared into the sky.

What made them even more terrified was yet to come. When a shocking thunder was thrown from the city and exploded in the crowd, corpses and stumps flew around, which immediately made the fear of the Russian army reach its peak. Squeeze back desperately, but the denser the crowd, the easier it is to be attacked by the thunder, and the Russian army suffered extremely heavy damage.

For a while, the Russian army had no power to fight back, and was bloody massacred by the Wei army.

"Quick! Change the rear team to the front team, get out!" Zulevsky, who was on horseback, suffered the worst defeat since he joined the army, waving his saber and roaring furiously.

Compared with the cavalry entering the city, the cavalry walking behind was undoubtedly much luckier.

When they found that the timing was right, the cavalry retreated immediately, and they easily evacuated from the city gate without being bombarded by many muskets and thunder from the city.

But just when the Russian cavalry had just withdrawn, the caravan that had previously scattered and fled suddenly came back.

Li Benshen didn't shout. He held the horse in his hand tightly and stared at the enemy. He galloped ahead, followed by three hundred cavalry, and rushed directly to the retreating Cossack cavalry.

On the other side, a cavalry of the same size also slammed into the enemy cavalry with the momentum of swallowing thousands of miles like a tiger.

"Ula~" Facing the sudden onslaught of Wei army cavalry, Zulevsky, who was still in shock, had no other choice. He kept his sword straight, and led the cavalry to rush westward, intending to escape Suiye City.
