Time Travel to 1859: The Iron-Blooded Soldier King

Under the leadership of Sergei, the Russian reinforcements traveled 200 miles in one day and one night with only two hours of rest. However, the next 100 miles were very difficult. Relying on their momentary bravery, the Russian army could march quickly, but after a day and a night, they were exhausted. It was impossible for them to march so quickly again!

Sergei had no choice but to slow down his pace. Near dusk the next day, the army finally arrived at Wild Wolf Hill, which was not far from Aichun City. They would definitely arrive before dawn tomorrow. However, Sergei did not dare to relax at all and continued to urge the army forward.

On top of Wolf Hill, the cavalry battalion had been waiting here for two days. Captain Luo Bicheng was getting very anxious. Would the Russian army take this route?

Just as they were getting anxious, groups of Russian troops came from afar. There were more than a thousand of them, arranged in four or five columns, and they were rushing towards Aichun City. The long journey had made these Russian soldiers exhausted, and their feet began to feel weak.

Luo Bicheng was overjoyed, the time had come!

Luo Bicheng shouted in a low voice: "Pass the order down, prepare for battle!"

The Russian army had just reached the foot of Wild Wolf Hill when Luo Bicheng's cavalry suddenly rushed out, and 400 cavalrymen rushed down from Wild Wolf Hill all over the mountain!

A distance of three or four hundred meters was a fleeting moment for the cavalry. The Russian army was exhausted, their nerves and consciousness numb. Even Sergei felt the weariness. He hadn't left his horse for a day and a half, constantly on the march. How could he not be tired? Unless he was made of steel!

Hearing the sound of horse hooves, Sergei looked up and saw hundreds of cavalry rushing down from a nearby mound like a flood. Enemy attack! It was an enemy attack!

Sergei was horrified and shouted frantically: "Enemy attack! Prepare for battle immediately!"

The Russians were stunned by the countless cavalrymen. What the hell, fighting? How could they fight when the enemy was right under their noses?

However, at this time, there was no room for hesitation. If they hesitated, their lives would be in danger. The Russian soldiers immediately dispersed their formation, raised their rifles and started shooting!

However, before they started shooting, the Qing army had already laid down their weapons and their rifles fired one after another, and a large number of people were knocked down before the Russian army opened fire!

Immediately afterwards, the Qing army drew their sabers from their waists and rushed into the Russian camp!

The exhausted Russian army was now a group of lambs to be slaughtered. A day and a half of forced march had drained their physical strength and energy. Facing the flying sabers, their movements seemed so slow and dull. Before they could fully raise their rifles, the big head had already left the neck, and the blood on the neck spurted high!

Sergei's heart was in turmoil. It was over. At this moment, he encountered the Qing cavalry's long-planned attack. The strength of his regiment was completely destroyed!

The same thing happened to Komishevich standing aside. Oh my God, the mountains and plains were full of Qing cavalrymen, carrying muskets on their backs and waving sabers in their hands. They shot at those from a distance and chopped at those close with knives, as if they were in an empty land. The Russian troops were killed and fled in panic, and they couldn't even organize a decent blockade!

Komishevich kept shouting at the Russian soldiers to retreat, trying to trap the Qing cavalry in the middle. After all, there were still more than a thousand soldiers, several times more than the cavalry. As long as they were trapped in the middle and the cavalry was not allowed to attack, the lethality of the cavalry would be much smaller and there would be nothing to be afraid of. At the very least, even if they could not win, they could ensure the safe retreat of the Russian army.

But now the Russian army was like a pack of wild dogs. How could they even command it? The entire base of Wolf Hill was filled with fleeing Russians, their cries of despair everywhere! The Russian positions were shattered by the cavalry battalion's assault. With over a thousand men and over a thousand rifles, they were completely ineffective. The cavalry battalion's cavalry spurred their horses to a gallop, sabers wielding as they charged. Any Russian soldier they encountered was either killed or wounded. Their horses were fast, their sabers swift, and blood splattered everywhere.

The Russian army suffered a huge loss. Sergei never dreamed that the Qing army had already ambushed cavalry here. Four hundred special soldiers launched an attack from a high position. They were all equipped with breech-loading rifles with an amazing rate of fire. The Russian army could not imagine that the Qing army had such powerful equipment. Their death was so unfair!

Sergei roared fiercely: "Retreat, retreat immediately! Retreat to Vladivostok!"

Komishevich on the side said urgently, "Chief of Staff, we absolutely cannot retreat to Vladivostok. It's over two hundred miles from here to Vladivostok. By the time we reach Vladivostok, I'm afraid an entire regiment of soldiers will have been killed by the enemy cavalry!"

Sergei glared at Komishevich fiercely, but what Komishevich said made perfect sense. Given the current state of the Russian army, how could they possibly make it all the way back to Vladivostok? That was over 200 miles away. Even without the cavalry pursuing them, more than half of the troops would be wiped out by the time they reached Vladivostok!

Aichun, there was only one way to go now! Wild Wolf Hill was only a few dozen miles away from Aichun. With a little effort, the Russian army could still hold on. As long as they could join forces with Basha's army in Aichun, they might still be able to hold on.

"Order the entire army to advance immediately towards Aichun, full speed!"

Sergei roared madly.

Almost all the Russian troops had given up fighting and began to collapse towards Aichun. But their two legs were no match for the four legs of the cavalry battalion. The cavalry battalion kept chasing them from behind, and the road was littered with dead and seriously wounded Russian soldiers. It was a horrific sight!

Sergei had been frightened by the cavalry and rushed towards Aichun City at full speed.

But it was extremely difficult for Sergei's reinforcements to enter Aichun City. Liu Ye had already made preparations. For two days, Liu Ye's several battalions took turns to fight, not letting the remaining Basha troops in the city rest for a moment. The remaining Basha troops were already exhausted and could not rest for a moment!

Liu Ye didn't launch a full-scale attack, but was waiting for Sergei, the big fish. Now that the fish had taken the bait, he would first eat Sergei, then turn around and take Aichun City. Not a single Russian soldier could be spared! Seeing that the Russian army was about to escape to the vicinity of Aichun, Liu Ye gave an order, and two battalions of troops rushed from Aichun towards Sergei's remaining troops!
