Back to the Ming Dynasty to be a tyrant

Licking his lips, Alkimir smiled bitterly: "Or it should be said that the whole army was wiped out.

As you can see, of the four thousand-man teams, we were the only ones who came back alive, and there were less than ten people in total, and the rest had stayed on that land, including Prokofy and Serio sand. "

Khmelnytsky nodded and said, "What about their equipment? How many horses do they have? How about their tactics? Can they adapt to the environment here?"

Alkimir said: "Yes, they can adapt to the environment here, it seems that the cold here does not pose any threat to them.

They have two horses per person, just like the legendary Mongolian cavalry, each of them is riding a war horse, and another war horse follows them.

Also, they seem to have a kind of firearm that can be thrown out and exploded, or buried in the ground and waited for him to explode. I don’t know how to do it. Seryozha also thought about getting some of their firearms and imitating them. .

As for their tactics, it's even harder to say. "

Seemingly remembering something bad, after shivering, Alkimir continued: "In just one day, we have seen at least a dozen tactics from them.

Including the legendary mangu evil tactics, the infantry forward tactics, the flank tactics, and the central army's straight forward tactics, their difficulties are far higher than the legendary Mongolian army. "

After waiting for Alkimir to finish all the information he knew, Khmelnytsky suddenly sneered: "Shame on the Cossack cavalry!

How did you have the face to come back alive?Prokofy and Seryozha were all killed in battle, why did you bring these people back here?Just to provide this information? "

Alkimir was not surprised by Khmelnytsky's sudden turn of events.

Alkimir and the other Cossack cavalry were all too familiar with the ruthlessness and moodiness of the big chief Khmelnytsky.

Almost all Cossacks have this kind of personality, changeable, impermanent, cruel, and ruthless. It is not surprising that they would be like this if they were replaced by themselves.

Including returning to Khmelnytsky's army this time, Alkimir has long been mentally prepared, and now it's just that what he worried about has become a reality, and there is nothing surprising.

After sighing, Alkimir said: "Yes, it is to bring back this information. As a forward force, we have already suffered a lot from the Tatars. The reason why Seryozha asked us to come back is probably Also for this reason.

In the end, I want to say that whether it is Prokofy, Seryozha, or other companions, they did not embarrass the Cossacks, and no one chose to escape, except us cowards.

Now, I have brought back the information I should bring back, and I have finished what I should say. We will accept what you want to do with us, and we will not have any complaints. "

Khmelnytsky narrowed his eyes and said, "Then, if you are asked to fight those cavalrymen of the Ming Empire, do you still dare to go?"

Alkimir shook his head and said: "I dare, but the remaining few may not have the courage to go, they are already terrified.

In fact, it was only after I persuaded them countless times to come to see you this time that they agreed to come with me. Otherwise, they would have already run away far away at this time, and they might go directly to Europe and never come back . "

After Khmelnytsky sneered, he suddenly ordered: "Go and drag those cowards to death with war horses. Their families will all be beaten into slaves, and they will be traded and bullied!"

After the personal soldiers bowed and answered, Khmelnytsky turned his attention to Alkimir again: "You are not to blame for what happened this time. I also know the purpose of Seryozha for letting you come back, so I can Give you another chance."

After pondering for a long while, Khmelnytsky said: "I'll send you another thousand-man team. Because you fought against the cavalry of the Ming Empire before, you have to act as a forward to scout the way.

Remember, once you find them, don't have too much contact with them, just bite them, wait until the army surrounds them and finish them off, do you hear me clearly? "

Alkimir hesitated and said: "Send out the army to encircle and suppress the Ming cavalry who are less than a thousand? Will it?"

Khmelnytsky said: "Could it be something? In this world, the winner has the final say on everything, and the loser has only death, and he is not qualified to speak. Or do you have the confidence to use a Thousands of people to get rid of those hundreds of Ming cavalry?"

After another sneer, Khmelnytsky looked at Alkimir and said, "If you had the ability, you wouldn't be standing in front of me like a crying child, but you would bring Show off your spoils!"

Alkimir's face turned red, but he couldn't think of a word to refute Khmelnytsky.

Anyway, what Khmelnytsky said was right, he, Prokofey, and Seryozha all lost, all lost, nothing left, not even the last pride left .

And I don't have the confidence to rely on a thousand-man team to deal with the hundreds of Ming cavalry.

On the battlefield, numbers are an important factor, but they are never decisive.

In terms of numbers, the Cossack cavalry is many times smaller than the Polish frontier army, but only a few thousand to tens of thousands of Cossacks can run across the Polish border. Unless the Polish army is dispatched, the Cossacks are never worried.

Now in the confrontation with Daming, the Cossacks have become the side with the most numbers, and the cavalry of Daming has become the side with the fewest numbers but nothing to worry about.

Especially those hundreds of Ming cavalry, before Prokofy and Sergei led four thousand-man squadrons and failed to keep them. Confidently say to get rid of them?

Things are changing, that's all.

Khmelnytsky repeated again: "Listen to me, find them, follow them, and let the army deal with them!"

To the surprise of Khmelnytsky and Alkimir, they searched along the way for several days, but did not find any shadow of the Ming cavalry, as if those Ming cavalry had completely disappeared.

Khmelnytsky was not worried that Alkimir was deceiving himself with nonsense. After all, the news of Ming’s invasion of Tsarist Russia came from the Kremlin, and the order to mobilize the Cossacks to the Far East was also issued by the Kremlin. There will be false.

The only thing that gave Khmelnytsky a headache was that he couldn't find the shadow of Da Ming's army at all—if he couldn't find Da Ming's army, it meant that he couldn't attack them.

It's like a strong man clenched his fist, but the other side couldn't find the target at all.

If you relax, you may face a sudden attack. If you don't relax, you have to accumulate strength all the time. In the end, it may be that your own strength is exhausted.

Khmelnytsky was not stupid, and he also knew that the Ming army might be deliberately playing with himself, so that he could relax first, and then launch a fatal blow to himself.

Alkimir tentatively said: "Or, let's go directly to Daming? If not, we can directly attack them and force them to show up?"

Khmelnytsky shook his head and said: "If we go straight to Daming, it will be that they are fighting with their backs, and they will take advantage of all the advantages, and we will suffer."

8 Chapter Fifty

The conscience of heaven and earth, Amin really didn't think about retreating, let alone avoiding Khmelnytsky's Cossack cavalry. The root cause of this situation was Meng Xianglin and Wan Yanli. on the guy.

In order to avoid the Zhenglan Banner and Xianglan Banner they carried, and to catch more living barbarians, these two guys chose to go deep alone and ran more than 300 miles northwest.

After discovering the large Cossack army led by Khmelnytsky, Meng Xianglin and Wan Yanli compared it carefully, and found that his side was no match for others, so he took the laborers and ran away decisively, running behind the army .

With a distance of several hundred miles, Alkimir did not dare to run too far with a thousand-man team, so in the end it created the illusion that the Ming army had disappeared.

Khmelnytsky didn't intend to give up like this. After all, the land here still belongs to Tsarist Russia. Regardless of whether he is responsible for defending the land, he just let a group of Ming cavalry come and go freely here and arrested civilians as Slave, this Cossack's face is not bright either.

Khmelnytsky didn't dare and was unwilling to run away. Even if he had the idea of ​​running away, Alkimir didn't dare to show it. He could only lead a team of thousands of people to search back and forth.

It doesn't matter whether it's the emperor's painstaking efforts, or it's Amin's intention. Anyway, after almost half a month of searching, Alkimir really let him discover the shadow of the Ming army.

Of course, this shadow is in the territory of Tsarist Russia. Strictly speaking, Emperor Chongzhen, Amin and a group of equestrians once again played the role of justice in punishing the people.

Then, the two sides stared at each other.

Amin led a group of killers and set up a formation early, waiting for the Cossack cavalry led by Khmelnytsky to hit him head-on, while Khmelnytsky led the Cossack cavalry cruising far away , Just don't rush.

The Ming army lined up there, and those stupid, big, black and thick cannon barrels pointed obliquely at the sky. No matter how stupid Khmelnytsky was, he could not lead the cavalry directly to charge up, but just led the Cossacks around Turn around and swing around again.

Khmelnytsky thought very openly. The ten reorganized Asak cavalry regiments under his own hands are full of 6 or 1 people. This is still seriously overstaffed, and he wants to kill more than [-] people on the opposite side. Even if the Ming army can win, it will suffer heavy losses.

Although the Cossack cavalry is brave and invincible, it can't be such a disaster, can it?

The best way is to procrastinate. When the logistics of the Ming army can no longer support them, they will inevitably retreat. This time is the best time for the Cossacks to attack - as long as the troops retreat in large scale, chaos will easily occur.
