"Your Excellency, the cavalry troops on the flanks have been attacked by the rebel army's powerful firepower. They have suffered heavy losses and are about to collapse!”A general reported to Grand Duke Nicholas.
Grand Duke Nicholas could not help but frown after hearing this.
"How did this happen? Didn't the rebel army send out cavalry? Are they stronger than our Cossacks? Even if they had the advantage in numbers. However, with the strength of our cavalry, it should not be a problem for us to resist their attack!”Grand Duke Nicholas was somewhat puzzled.
"Your Excellency, the rebel cavalry is different from our cavalry. The rebel cavalry was also equipped with a large number of machine guns and cannons. Our cavalry is suffering from their powerful firepower!”The general continued.
Grand Duke Nicholas's expression immediately turned very ugly.
"Damn it!" Grand Duke Nicholas could not help but curse.
At this moment, a huge change had occurred on the battlefield.
After five infantry divisions were sent to the defense line, the firepower of Grand Duke Michael's troops became even stronger.
In fact, these troops had already launched a counterattack under the order.
They jumped out of the trenches and took the initiative to attack.
Of course, in order to ensure their safety, they had to use their firepower advantage. They still maintained a distance. They continued to use powerful firepower to cause greater casualties to Grand Duke Nicholas 'troops from a distance.
"Bang! Bang! Bang! Da da!"
As the soldiers advanced, they opened fire with their rifles and light machine guns.
At the same time, heavy machine guns and mortars were also moving forward with the infantry to provide greater firepower support for these troops.
Under such a tactical attack, Grand Duke Nicholas 'troops could not withstand it at all. A large number of Russian soldiers wanted to counterattack, but they were easily killed by the concentrated firepower.
Under such circumstances, Grand Duke Nicholas 'troops suffered greater and greater losses. At the same time, the morale of the troops was getting lower and lower.
Many soldiers, even those from the Imperial Guards, had already lost the courage to continue fighting and began to flee.
This caused the entire army to gradually lose their will to fight and began to flee in a sorry state.
Humans had a herd mentality. When many soldiers saw this situation, they naturally did not have the courage to continue fighting.
"Wu La! Wu La!"
Grand Duke Michael's troops took the opportunity to launch an even fiercer attack.
This directly led to the collapse of Grand Duke Nicholas 'troops.
A large number of soldiers even threw away their rifles in order to run faster.
As for the Cossack cavalry, they naturally had a greater advantage when fleeing. After all, warhorses were faster.
However, the Imperial Guards were blocking their path, preventing them from escaping.
Some of the more valiant Cossack cavalry even charged at the guards, knocking down many of them and even trampling them to death. This also caused the dissatisfaction of the guards and caused a conflict.
On the entire battlefield, Grand Duke Nicholas 'troops were defeated.
As the saying goes, a defeated army is like a landslide. This could completely describe the current situation on the battlefield.
At the same time, the Cossack cavalry on the flanks also collapsed due to heavy losses.
Grand Duke Michael's cavalry mounted their horses and gave chase.
Some of the Cossack cavalrymen couldn't help but turn around to fight.
They had been ravaged by the powerful firepower of the rebel cavalry for so long, but they were still very confident in their ability to fight on horseback.
However, what they did not expect was that they were greeted by the bullets of the lance.
Grand Duke Michael's cavalry was equipped with short lances. Although its range was not as good as a rifle, it was lighter. Even when riding a horse, he could shoot with one hand. He could even pull the bolt and load the bullets in the magazine. However, it would be more difficult to reload. But even so, it was enough to cause great losses to the enemy cavalry.
The five bullets in the magazine were enough to fire five rounds.
The Cossacks couldn't hold on at all. The courage that they had painstakingly accumulated was instantly thrown away.
Those Cossack cavalrymen who were lucky enough to not be killed fled without looking back.
Behind them was Grand Duke Michael's cavalry. These cavalrymen waved the sabers in their hands, looking valiant and awe-inspiring.
On the entire battlefield, Grand Duke Nicholas 'troops had been utterly defeated. They did not even have the ability to stop Grand Duke Michael's troops. The outcome of this battle had already been decided.
This also meant that the candidate for the new Tsar of the Russian Empire had been decided at this moment.
