The Last Frontier of Fire and Sword
Chapter 722
The sky is as clean as a mirror, and the blue water falls like washing.
On April 24, the sky was clear.
On that very day, the main force of 50000 Russian troops led by Prince Alexei trubetzkoy arrived in tonkop.
What an amazing scene it was when 50000 troops rolled in!
Most of the people in tonnocopsburg may not have seen one tenth of the people they see today in their lifetime.
The whole line of the Russian army was seen from the far end by the defenders in the castle.
At the front of the line were the Russian light cavalry.
Most of the light cavalry wore firm coats with standing collars and paper helmets. Their weapons were a cavalry sword or saber and a set of bows and arrows.
In the queue, the Russian light cavalry was deeply influenced by the Mongols because they were imprisoned by the "Tatar yoke" for hundreds of years and fought with nomads for many years. Their fighting and marching are also very similar to the array of Tatar cavalry. Usually 1000 people form a regiment, and each regiment is divided into 10 cavalry companies - such a combat organization is self-evident corresponding to the centurion and centurion of the Mongols.
At this time, they formed a standard marching formation. Each regiment is divided into five large arrays to enter the battlefield. These five arrays constitute the left wing, the right wing, the striker, the defender and the Chinese Army respectively. The flag of St. George was flying in the Chinese army. Their commander is under this flag.
Behind the light cavalry were the Boyer cavalry, the noble heavy cavalry that formed the core of the Czar\'s Russian army.
Each of these Boye cavalry men wore a typical Russian mirror armor, with a round or octagonal chest plate in the middle, as well as a lock armour blouse and forearm armor.
Most Boyer cavalry helmets are bell shaped, composed of a top disc part and a lower ear guard. There is a long movable nose guard in the front of the helmet. Some maverick Boye cavalry wore Anatolian or Turkic helmets and even masks made of lock armour.
Then came the pistol cavalry of Czar Russia.
These pistol cavalry wore helmets with ear protection, red uniforms and a complete set of chest armor. Their weapons were a broad sword and a revolver. Such a new cavalry, Che Chen, saw three different military flags, that is, there were at least three regiments, no less than 3000 people.
After the Czar Russian pistol cavalry, a huge military flag appeared. The sky blue part on the left of the flag is rectangular and the right is triangular. There are orange patterns outside, poppy red substrate and gold edge. The circle in the left rectangle has a dark blue background, and the edge is also gold. Christ in white is riding a white horse, with a golden aperture and golden stars behind him. In the triangle on the right, the angel is also riding a white horse in white, with a golden aperture and more golden stars behind him. The archangel Michelle on a white horse, holding the Oriental cross in his left hand and the sacred sword in his right hand, is waving his golden wings.
This is the long banner, also known as the main battle flag. Prince Alexei rode under the flag. Beside him were 100 halberd soldiers dressed in colorful Kaftan robes and military hats decorated with gold brocade.
After that, there are 10 new army infantry regiments.
These legions were the new forces established by czar Russia after the end of the "era of turmoil". It consists of four foreign mercenaries, the Chengdu infantry regiment and six new legions of Russian infantry equipped and trained according to Western European style. The infantry regiments of the infantry regiment of the new army are all under the command of foreign officers. Each regiment consists of 960 Musketeers and 640 spearmen, divided into eight companies. The infantry regiment of the new army adopts all European equipment and weapons, and their military uniforms are also red.
After these elite troops, the main body of the Russian army is the militia with a large number but low combat effectiveness, which is regarded as a "gray animal" by Russian nobles and generals.
In addition, there is an army that is also extremely eye-catching. That is a team of Cossacks led by Ivan hilko, the former captain of the Cossack emirate. They had the same hairstyle, the same clothes and the same blood as their compatriots in konotopu, but now they were going to kill each other.
The contrast of military strength is so great. If konotopu is an isolated island, the army of Czar Russia is a sea. Moreover, this is not an inland lake like the Mediterranean, but the Pacific or Atlantic.
Under this majesty, some people are frightened. Many Cossacks were angry when they saw the enemy\'s terrible power. The victory over Vassily selemedev a few days ago seemed so insignificant in front of the sea of enemy troops.
More than one person was thinking, "how long can we keep it?"
Even Cherchen was surprised at the formation of the Russian army. He did not expect that compared with Smolensk five years ago, the Russian military seems to be more powerful.
Prince Alexei did not attack the city immediately after his troops arrived. He also camped five miles away from konotopu fort, and all Russian troops surrounded konotopu fort from both wings like two claws of a crab, cutting off all its contact with the outside world.
That night, the whole konotopu fort was surrounded by a sea of fire. With so much fire, you might think it was a meteor shower that fell on this land.
In Prince Alexei\'s camp, general Vasili selemedev was kneeling down and praying for Prince Alexei\'s forgiveness. It is an unforgivable fault that two thousand people have been lost due to self cleverness. According to the military law, the prince has the right to sentence him to death, even more cruel.
But when Prince Alexei learned how to defeat Vasili selemedev, the prince only sentenced Vasili selemedev to 30 lashes.
The punishment was so light that even Vasili selemedev himself could not believe it.
Although Prince Alexei said that the punishment was so light because he hoped Vasili sheremeev would confess his sins, people can not help but speculate that the reason why the prince forgave Vasili was because it was Alwar Chechen who defeated Vasili.
After all, the young man is so talented that he has not been defeated so far.
However, everyone will only keep this idea in mind.
After giving the order to investigate konotopu Fort tomorrow, the prince dissolved the meeting and let everyone go back to rest.
The campfire in the Russian camp gradually dimmed and went out. Tens of thousands of people have fallen asleep. In their dreams, they may dream of distant relatives, their own fields and the white birch forest.
And tomorrow, how many people will never dream again?
