The cavalry charge was very imposing. First World War was not Second World War. Although the cavalry had retreated to the second line and was no longer the main force, as a highly mobile force, it was still very useful, such as when chasing after fleeing soldiers.
The cavalry regiment that held the Northern Five Color Flag and the Russian flag set off from the station to rescue the Russian army that was being chased.
The mighty 3,000 - 4,000 cavalry seemed to be more powerful than the 10,000 infantrymen. The small cavalry company at the front had already clashed with the Soviets. Both sides were shooting with their cavalry spears. The Soviets were not Cossacks, and their level was too inferior. They were at a disadvantage in the battle.
Compared to the Northern Cavalry who could stand on horseback, they were nothing.
No matter who it was, once they fell off their horses, they would probably be trampled into minced meat by the cavalry behind them.
The Northern Cavalry did not engage in close combat with the enemy. They thought that they had discovered that the enemy's shooting skills were too poor, so why would they fight with them? If that were the case, the casualties would be much higher.
After suffering a loss, the cavalry of the Soviets were not fools. They immediately gave up on contact with the enemy and chose to retreat.
This was only a small group. When a large group of cavalrymen came, both sides would not have enough room to maneuver. Other than fighting head-on, there was no other choice.
Before the clash, both sides opened fire with their rifles and then pulled out their sabers. The two cavalry forces collided fiercely. The Northern cavalry was far more numerous than the Soviets, and their standards were also higher.
When they collided, the number of Soviet cavalrymen decreased visibly. When they pulled up the distance, they saw that most of the Soviet cavalrymen had been killed in the collision.
Ten minutes later, besides the cavalrymen who had died in battle, there were also many warhorses that had lost their masters. They were just hugging their masters 'bodies, hoping that their masters would get up and continue to ride them on the battlefield.
The vast majority of them were Russian cavalry. In just a moment, two to three hundred people had died. This was a death in battle, not a casualty. In addition, many arms were left behind on the battlefield, and many people were injured.
Qi Zhenbin looked at the Soviets, who were far fewer than his own cavalry regiment, and admired their courage. They did not choose to escape, but turned their horses around.
The two groups of cavalrymen looked at each other from a distance of more than 500 meters. The sabers of most of the Northern Cavalrymen were stained with scarlet blood, which meant that they had just cut someone. The Russian Cavalrymen were the opposite.
"Cavalry Regiment, listen to my order and attack.”Qi Zhenbin was the commander of the cavalry. In the charge just now, he had cut down six Soviet cavalrymen alone. The blood that splattered out even dirtied his military uniform.
The Russian cavalry did not retreat, even though they had far fewer people and were weaker than the enemy.
All kinds of strange chants were shouted. Qi Zhenbin, who was in the lead, took the lead and broke into the formation of the Soviets. Once the saber in his hand was swung, a Soviets cavalryman would definitely be cut, either dead or injured.
This kind of exchange was almost like driving fast. There was no time for hesitation at all.
This time, the time was much faster. Most of the cavalry of the Soviets had been taken down, and the remaining people looked like only a hundred people.
"Looks like these people are brave warriors. Brothers, send them on their way.”Qi Zhenbin placed his saber in front of him. He had just knocked against the other party's saber, and it seemed to have a gap. It was really unpleasant.
The final charge had begun. As they crossed paths, the Soviets 'cavalrymen were cut down one by one and fell to the ground as corpses. Their charge had ended.
By the time the Northern Cavalry turned around, there was no one else on the other side. Only the corpses of countless cavalrymen were left on the battlefield.
"These people are all brave warriors. Let those white-haired men collect their bodies. All officers above the second lieutenant rank will be buried.”
Qi Zhenbin wiped his saber clean and returned it to its scabbard. He admired the courage of these Soviets. They knew that they were no match for them, but they still fought with them resolutely.
To describe it in Chinese idioms, it was a glorious defeat. They had gained the respect of their opponent, the Northern Cavalry.
Only the victor had the right to clean up the battlefield. All of the Soviets had died, and in this battle, no one chose to escape.
Warhorses and cavalry equipment were important. The defeated white-haired soldiers were called by the Northern Army cavalry to clean up the battlefield.
Qi Zhenbin asked and knew that the number of Soviets was a little too much, so he gave up on the plan to counterattack Oktulon.
The cavalry of the Soviets were completely annihilated, so they naturally did not have the courage to find trouble with them.
When the marching infantrymen collided with the charging cavalry, the consequences were obvious. They would basically be chased and slashed like rabbits.
Pingsk was busy catching people, and there was quite a bit of trouble in the process. In addition, many people in the city had run away. The previous artillery battle had also let the people in the city know that this city was about to become a battlefield. If they didn't run now, when would they?
The Princess was a little conflicted because Gorchak had sent a request to Li Zihao again, hoping that Li Zihao would give up the Princess.
"I don't care. Let's win this battle first. It's really uncomfortable to have no money.”Li Zihao mumbled. If he didn't have money and military achievements, he couldn't use his soldiers. This was what made him the most unhappy. If Nicholas II gave him hundreds of tons of gold, he would be rich!
When the time came, he would buy as many firearms and troops as the system had. He would want the best of them all. Then, he would have a machine gun and rocket launcher for everyone to shoot at whoever he saw. It would be too satisfying.
Modern troops were particular about the amount of firepower they could project. Otherwise, how could there be the saying that without supplies, there would be no morale?
"Alright." The princess was reluctant to leave Li Zihao, so she did not mention this matter. As for the matter of the imperial family's stash of gold, she was also considering whether she should tell Li Zihao. However, she thought about it and decided to wait first. After all, Li Zihao's men were too few.
Player, let me tell you something. Princess is very rich.
What? The princess is rich? Are you kidding me?
It's not that the princess is rich, but the inheritance of the Russian royal family. Although Gorchak took a sum of gold, there are definitely more than 1,000 tons. With so much money, it's enough for you to raise a million troops.
Damn, why didn't you say so earlier?
Li Zihao stared at Princess Tasia with a half-smile, which made the princess feel a little strange. She touched her face and was about to speak when she found that there was nothing wrong with it.
Princess, you're not being honest."
"Ah... What about me?"
The princess was hugged by Li Zihao. It was still broad daylight. He couldn't be thinking of doing it with her, right?
Tang Weiwei was holding a document in her hand. She wanted to ask Li Zihao to sign it. When she saw Li Zihao touching the princess, she said expressionlessly," General, I'll come back for you to sign it later. Please hurry up."”
She was about to leave when Li Zihao stopped her.
"I'll sign it now. I'll give you the afternoon off.”Li Zihao seemed to know what Tang Weiwei had done.
"It's my duty."
"You're always like this. You're unreasonable.”Li Zihao looked at the document. It was a list of people who were to be executed. They were all members of the underground party. The execution time was tomorrow morning.
