"Wu La! Wu La!"
Countless soldiers of the Russian Imperial Guards were shouting as they bravely charged forward.
However, what greeted them was a dense rain of bullets.
The cannonballs kept exploding, blasting them into pieces.
The dense machine gun bullets blocked their way forward.
It was as if there was an invisible wall in front of the Imperial Guards, blocking them from advancing any further.
A large number of corpses fell on the battlefield. Blood flowed from their bodies, dyeing the ground red.
Grand Duke Michael, Lieutenant General Brushilov, and the others could not help but heave a sigh of relief when they saw this.
It seemed that they had made the right decision to increase the firepower of their troops as much as possible. In this era, the stronger the firepower, the greater the advantage in battle.
However, Grand Duke Michael's heart was also bleeding.
Although his army had achieved great results in the battle. However, those who were slaughtered were all soldiers of the Russian Empire! This was especially true for the elite guards, which were the elite troops of the Russian Empire.
If he could inherit the throne of the Russian Empire without war, he would undoubtedly be able to preserve these forces. A few years later, he might be able to join the war against the East Asian people.
Now, he had to think of a way to train more elite troops.
Of course, fighting this battle was also beneficial. After this battle, his throne as the Tsar would be even more stable. In the entire Russian Empire, no one would dare to question or oppose him. His power would also be greater, even surpassing the other tsars.
The power of the tsar of the Russian Empire was considered extremely great among the monarchs of the world, except for the Qing Empire in the east. The State Duma had almost become a decoration.
With the might of this victory, Grand Duke Michael might be able to truly make his own decisions!
On the other side, Grand Duke Nicholas 'heart was also bleeding. He was also very distressed about the loss of these guards.
He had thought that he would be able to defeat Grand Duke Michael with the help of the elite guards. However, he realized that he was still unable to change the situation on the battlefield.
Even these elite guards were unable to withstand a single blow from the powerful firepower of Grand Duke Michael's troops! Or rather, he was simply courting death!
"Oh my god! How many cannons and machine guns did Grand Duke Michael equip his troops with? Why do I feel that the firepower they displayed this time is even more powerful than before!”Admiral Mirolaf couldn't help but exclaim.
It was not only General Mirolaf who discovered this, but also Grand Duke Nicholas and Grand Duke Agnelyne. However, they did not say it out loud.
On the battlefield, the assault of the Russian Imperial Guards did not achieve any effect at all. Instead, they were sending themselves to their deaths.
As the battle progressed, the losses of the Russian Imperial Guards grew. Moreover, they had not caused many casualties to the rebel army. The situation on the battlefield was getting more and more disadvantageous to Grand Duke Nicholas.
This made Archduke Nicholas and the others anxious.
"Your Excellency, the rebel army's firepower is too strong. We can't break through at all. If they continued to attack, they would only increase their casualties.”Archduke Agelni said.
Archduke Nicholas obviously knew this as well. However, he was still very unwilling!
"Your Excellency, why don't we retreat immediately and return to Mosk? Mosk was a strong city. Back then, even Emperor Napoleon was defeated here, let alone Michael!”Admiral Mirolaf suggested.
Grand Duke Nicholas thought for a moment, shook his head, and rejected the proposal.
"This war cannot drag on for too long. Whether it's me or Mihail, we both want to decide the victor as soon as possible. The Sun Never Sets is eyeing us covetously, and the Germans might also intervene. Therefore, this battle had to be decided as soon as possible!”Grand Duke Nicholas said.
Archduke Ageleni and Admiral Miroraf nodded. They knew that too.
"Order the guards to retreat and rest. Tomorrow morning, the cavalry would attack, and the guards would follow behind. The cavalry is fast. No matter how strong the firepower of Mihail's troops is, it will be difficult for them to resist the charge of our cavalry. Once the cavalrymen broke through their line of defense, the guards behind them would be able to charge into their position and expand their victory!”Archduke Nicholas ordered.
This was the only way he could think of. If even this did not work, then he had no other choice.
"Yes, Your Excellency!" Archduke Agelni and Admiral Mirolav naturally did not have any objections.
Soon, the Russian Imperial Guards stopped attacking and withdrew from the battle. However, he had suffered a great loss.
Early the next morning, the Russian army took action again.
Tens of thousands of Cossack cavalrymen rode their horses and charged at the defensive line of Grand Duke Michael's army.
