Time Travel to 1859: The Iron-Blooded Soldier King

The news of the cavalry being surrounded soon reached the ears of Tymoshenko, the commander of the second battalion of the Russian army. Tymoshenko was shocked. There were only one thousand Cossack cavalry in the entire Far East, and two hundred of them were lost in the Battle of Aichun. If this cavalry battalion was lost, then east of the Ussuri River, the Russian army would have no mobile forces to rely on!

Tymoshenko roared, "Send a message to the Governor immediately, ordering the entire battalion to advance immediately and support the cavalry's retreat!"

The second battalion of the Russian army immediately took action, and 500 people began to advance towards the area where the Cossack cavalry was surrounded. However, Tymoshenko did not know that the entire northern part of Vladivostok was now full of cavalry scouts sent by Guo Ye. Every move of the Russian army could not escape Guo Ye's eyes. As soon as the Russian infantry advanced forward, a battalion of Guo Ye cut off the Russian army's retreat route from the rear.

It took the Russian army only one hour to march ten kilometers and reach the location of the cavalry battle.

At this time, the Russian Cossack cavalry was still fighting fiercely with the Qing cavalry. Although they were at an absolute disadvantage, Konev was still able to hold on.

Without saying a word, Tymoshenko immediately ordered the infantry to join the battle. The dense rifle fire and a burst of wild shooting finally suppressed the Qing cavalry. The Cossack cavalry slowly retreated to the front of the Russian infantry. Konev's condition was terrible. His hat had been chopped off by the Qing army. He almost lost his head. As for his back, he was also severely chopped by the Qing army. In this battle, although it did not last long, the Russian army had lost more than 200 people!

Konev smiled bitterly and said, "Tymoshenko, thank you. If you hadn't come soon, my entire army would have been wiped out. This group of cavalry is too powerful, much stronger than Yishan's Green Camp soldiers..."

Tymoshenko said in a deep voice, "Konev, now is not the time for polite words. We must retreat immediately! Since the Qing army has already taken precautions, we will definitely not gain any advantage. If we fail, it will be no joke!"

The two men came out and took away almost half of the Russian troops. If they were really defeated, Vladivostok would definitely not be able to be defended!

Konev nodded. Before the two men could retreat, gunfire rang out from the left and right wings. Liu Ye's two battalions of troops came over to attack. Not only that, even the Qing cavalry that had just retreated launched another charge!

The two men's faces changed drastically. Damn, this Liu Ye is too cunning. He actually set up more than one ambush. There are Qing troops in three directions. If they don't run away, they will be completely surrounded!

run!

"Order, all troops retreat at full speed, retreat!"

Tymoshenko roared madly, "Damn it! After all my calculations, I still fell into the trap set by the Qing army!"

While fighting back, the Russian army retreated rapidly towards Vladivostok. After running about ten kilometers, the Cossack cavalry at the front suddenly became chaotic and ran back!

Konev, who was on the horse, roared angrily: "Tymoshenko, it's bad, we are surrounded, and there are Qing troops right in front of us!"

Tymoshenko's heart sank, and she was so angry that she wanted to slap herself twice. Damn it, she was so busy rushing to support the cavalry that she forgot to leave some people to defend the rear! Now there are troops everywhere, and the entire Russian army is trapped in the middle. This is a rhythm of seeking death!

Tymoshenko roared, "Bastard, Konev, can't you rely on your cavalry to break through the Qing army's defenses? Do you still want my infantry to launch a charge?"

Konev's face flushed as he replied, "Tymoshenko, that's not what I meant. It's just that the enemy's artillery fire was too intense. We couldn't get through at all. We were completely suppressed by their firepower!"

Tymoshenko's face was pale. Damn it, they were finished now. They were surrounded on all sides. There were at least more than a thousand Qing soldiers, twice as many as their own. Even if they launched a charge and broke out, there would be heavy casualties!

Konev said urgently, "Tymoshenko, now we have no choice but to defend with all our might. We must defend right here. This place is only a dozen kilometers away from Vladivostok. The Governor's reinforcements will arrive in less than two hours. By then, with the help of internal and external forces, we might be able to escape!"

Tymoshenko sighed bitterly. This was the only way. The Russian troops of the second battalion immediately began to deploy on the spot. As for the cavalry, they dismounted and began to defend with the infantry!

It didn't take long before the Qing troops rushed up from all directions. Luo Bicheng was very proud at this time. As long as he could defeat the Russian army in front of him, Vladivostok would be no problem!

Luo Bicheng roared, "Cavalry, assemble immediately and charge! We must tear open the Russian defenses!"

The cavalry had now been fully motivated by the successive victories. At Luo Bicheng's command, they began to rush towards the Russian positions like lightning.

However, Luo Bicheng forgot that the Russian army still had more than 600 people. Teams of infantry formed a circle and kept shooting at the charging cavalry. The dense firepower beat the cavalry back in an instant. Along the way, the cavalry battalion suffered heavy casualties!

Luo Bicheng hit his head hard. Damn it, he was too proud of himself. Launching a cavalry charge at this time was just seeking death. Now that the matter was over, he was afraid that the military would have to deal with him. He was too impatient!

The Qing cavalry was blocked and repelled. In fact, the Russian army was not in a good situation either. After all, the cavalry was moving at high speed, and it was not easy to hit the cavalry. The cavalry's rifles also caused a huge blow to the Russian infantry. It can be said that both sides suffered losses!

Liu Ye arrived at the position with a gloomy face. Seeing Luo Bicheng, he kicked him in the heart, sending him sprawling. He angrily cursed, "Luo Bicheng, are you blind? The troops are already lined up, rifles are firing in shifts, and you're telling your men to charge straight ahead? What the hell is wrong with you? Did you get kicked by a donkey?"

Luo Bicheng stood up suddenly, his face flushed, and he stood aside with a dejected look, not daring to answer.

Liu Ye shouted, "Order the infantry on the left and right wings to advance step by step and suppress the Russian army's movement space! Mobilize the artillery and bombard them hard!"

At Liu Ye's command, the infantry on the left and right wings, led by He Qimou and Zhu Hai, began to advance towards the Russian army!

Infantry against infantry, the Qing army's combat effectiveness at this time had surpassed that of the Russian army whose morale was low, and the Qing army also had several artillery pieces to support it. The Russian army was beaten so badly by the Qing army that it could only barely hold on!

In Vladivostok, the cavalry had already brought back the news.

When Mushavyov heard the news of the Russian ambush, he almost fell to the ground and roared, "What the hell is he doing standing there? Mobilize all the troops and attack the rear of the Qing army with all our strength. We must rescue Tymoshenko!"
