Chapter 1270: The Natural Enemy of the Cossack Cavalry

The Cossack Cavalry, the reason they can be called the world's number one cavalry, naturally have their own capabilities.

Their powerful shock force, along with their powerful mobility and powerful flanking ability, ensures that they can move with ease on the battlefield.

This is also why Napoleon once said that if he had Cossack Cavalry in his troops, he could sweep across the entire world.

The most important point among these is their mobility; what is mobility? It means being fast both in advancing and retreating.

When they believe the war situation is favorable to them, their charging speed is quite fast. But when they feel the war situation is unfavorable to them, their retreat is also quite swift, allowing them to adjust their tactics at the first opportunity. Thereby causing the scales of war to tilt in their favor once again.

Today is just like that.

Previously, the Cossack Cavalry had never encountered this Mandarin Duck Formation from Longyan, so at the first encounter, they suffered a great loss at the hands of these Spearman.

The first charge met with strong resistance and obstruction; many Cossack Cavalry were thrown from their horses, the War Horses fell, and the men fell from their mounts, only to be immediately beheaded by the soldiers in the Mandarin Duck Formation who were prepared to deliver the finishing blow.

Blood began to spread.

The scene began to be incomparably tragic.

But the Cossack Cavalry did not need any leader to command them; they could adjust their tactics in a very short time. Therefore, the cavalry behind, seeing this situation, immediately began to flank instead of the parallel charge from just a moment ago. The War Horses they rode did not slow down, but instead began to gallop around the Chukchi who seemed to have stopped their advance and set up a battle formation.

"Kill!"

"Whoosh! Whoosh!"

"Kill them!"

The Cossack Cavalry shouted crazily, their faces ferocious. Just in terms of momentum, it made many Chukchi change their expressions drastically.

The Chukchi did not dare to change their formation at will, so looking from afar, they could only circle in place.

"Hahahaha! A bunch of cowards!"

"Chukchi, hurry up and perish!"

"Is this it?"

"And they call themselves the Black Devil Army?"

The Gesake were trying to provoke these Chukchi, with the goal of making them fall into chaos.

"You still want to take back Dukuba? Keep dreaming!"

"Hahahaha, your women and children have long since become our slaves!"

"Trash, cowards, come out and have a fight!"

Sure enough, their roars and taunts almost made many Chukchi unable to sit still; their faces were filled with rage, and they really wanted to come out and have a battle between men with this bunch of Cossack Cavalry.

"Do not move!"

"The formation must not be disrupted!"

"Remember the words of the female general!"

"Listen to the Khan, obey orders!"

However, Zhai Shiqing and Narisong had long been prepared for this situation. Therefore, they had long ago prepared many small team leaders, each responsible for commanding one hundred Chukchi warriors, and thus, they could ensure that from large to small, and from small to large, the execution of orders was just that easy.

Sure enough, once the order was given, those provoked Chukchi warriors calmed down one after another.

In fact, this bunch of Cossack Cavalry also had no method at all against this battle formation.

They just rode their War Horses on the periphery, launching various charges against this formation from various angles, but they could never break the encirclement, which made the Cossack Cavalry, who always liked to wield their Horizontal Saber and stand tall, feel very unaccustomed, so it was normal for them to curse them as cowards.

"Charge! Keep charging for me!"

Ruslan was also responsible for commanding.

He had already noticed that this strange battle formation of the Chukchi, while it looked like it wasn't moving, was actually slowly inching toward Dukuba, although the speed was not very fast, and was even difficult to see with the naked eye. But they indeed

were getting closer and closer to Dukuba!

Charge!

This order also made the very stifled Cossack Cavalry think of various methods to charge.

However, the more anxious they were, the more stable this side became.

Zhai Shiqing's training of the Chukchi achieved the best results.

Behind the Shield, there were not only Long Spear but also Curved Saber, used to cut their horses' legs. Every charge of the Cossacks was a case of injuring eight hundred enemies while suffering one thousand in losses.

This made Ruslan very anxious.

Because if it went on like this, the ones who would lose sooner or later would be them!

He also did not expect that their Cossack Cavalry, known as the best in the world, would actually lose to the Chukchi in charging and breaking through enemy lines!

"They aren't such a big deal either!"

"Hahahaha, maintain the formation, do not move!"

"Just like this, victory will belong to us sooner or later!"

So it is said, morale is such a strange thing.

When the emotions of the Chukchi began to stabilize, the Cossack side began to become impatient. Then they started to ignore military orders, starting various reckless operations and various unauthorized actions. This naturally gave the Chukchi a great opportunity. For a time, the Chukchi actually occupied the initiative on the field.

The tragedy on the battlefield continued.

Zhai Shiqing and Narisong could not help but look at each other and smile.

Their training day and night during this period finally achieved results.

"Stop them, they are all a bunch of trash, stop them for me!"

Ruslan was already about to vomit blood.

"No one is allowed to act without authorization!"

"Not allowed!"

However, the Chukchi appearing before him seemed to be a steel beast; no matter how many people they killed or how many they injured, their powerful shock force, which they were famous for, simply could not break this battle formation! And this battle formation was also one that Ruslan had never encountered before.

Extremely complex.

Various changes in formation, various combinations of troop types.

One moment there were Spearman behind these Shield, and the next moment they turned into Blade Infantry.

One moment they became Crossbowman, and the next moment they became Halberdier.

This gave the Cossack Cavalry a massive headache, as they had no idea how to respond.

And so.

Just like that, Ruslan roared, but it was a futile roar, as he watched these Chukchi wearing black clothes march step by step toward the village of Dukuba.

A sudden, infinite sense of powerlessness arose in his heart.

The other chieftains also had their expressions change drastically.

They had never seen the Cossack Cavalry suffer so miserably!

It was no wonder they were surprised; at this point in history, the Cossack Cavalry was actually still in its prime. Even after Peter the Great passed away, the Cossacks were the magic weapon in the hands of Catherine II, and it was precisely by relying on this fierce force that she began to run rampant across Europe, making those European nations tremble with fear.

But today.

For the first time, they had encountered their nemesis.

That was the Chukchi.

That was the Chukchi who had been equipped with Longyan Equipment and trained by Longyan.

A bad premonition arose in Ruslan's heart.

That was, the pattern of the Cossack Cavalry running rampant seemed about to change.

Yes.

It was about to change.

The Cossack Cavalry, who previously could seize a village with a force of just a few hundred men, would likely never be so arrogant again.

In fact, the moment he first encountered this group of terrifying Black Devil Army, Ruslan had already prepared himself for this.

Within a single month, he had even sent dozens of letters to the Tsar, explaining to him the terror of the Chukchi.

But the Tsar had not paid any attention.

Because there were truly too few Chukchi.

He did not believe that the Chukchi, a race of a mere twenty or thirty thousand people, could have any impact on the overall situation of Tsarist Russia.

Therefore.

The Tsar was destined to regret it.

Ruslan took a deep breath, his heart already beginning to prepare for defeat.

He did not want to admit it, but he had to admit that their Cossack Cavalry had truly encountered their natural enemy. Pop-ups are frequent recently, please click to download to avoid pop-ups.
