Nan Ming Sun Never Sets

Chapter 460 Cossacks vs Tatars
The castle of Tsaritsyn was bloodbathed by the Eight Banners soldiers. There were not many Tsarist soldiers stationed here to monitor and manage the nomads in this area.When Feiyangu led his troops to come, the Tsarist Russians did not believe that there would be tens of thousands of troops surrounding them.

Fei Yanggu also used the effective method of the Ming army, bombarded the castle with low fortification technology with heavy artillery, and then the Eight Banners warriors rushed in and chopped down all the Tsarist Russians inside.

Along the way, the Eight Banners have become very accustomed to this kind of operation. They killed tens of millions of people without any consideration, until the enemy did not dare to resist, and they honestly became their slaves.

The nomads on the entire Volga plain, whether they are Turks or Tatars, are now completely falling to the Manchus.The conquerors from the east are too terrible, and Inner Asia has been wiped out by them.The refugees who escaped from there told them various stories. Many tribes migrated because of fear. Many of them entered Ukraine westward, and some went north, causing conflict with Tsarist Russia.

The millions of people in the Qing Dynasty drove a large number of cattle and sheep, crossing the grasslands and mountains, and continued to migrate.That is to say, Fei Yanggu was very murderous, he killed too many people along the way, he didn't need to feed everyone, and he grabbed all kinds of food and other supplies from various ethnic groups, so he could feed his tribe, otherwise he wouldn't be able to feed himself at all. However, even so, there were often contradictions and conflicts within the Manchu Qing Dynasty.

Feyangu's tribes were also gradually moving north along the Volga River, and they began to come into contact with more Slavs with different skin colors from their own.

Not only the Eight Banners, but also the nomads who belonged to the Western Qing Dynasty also started to attack the Russians in order to survive.In fact, this was their normal state. When the Tatars were powerful, they often plundered the towns and villages of the Russians, and the angry Russians fought back. This state lasted for hundreds of years.

The Tatars had just looted a Russian village. They followed the meaning of the Eight Banners and burned the village completely. The men killed them all, and the women snatched them back.But on the way, the Tatar light cavalry encountered the Cossacks.

This batch of Cossacks belonged to the regular army of Tsarist Russia. The officer's name was Alexei Kim, a bearded Cossack who was full of gangster spirit.Their Cossacks belonged to the outpost troops of the Russian army. When the Qing army moved westward to Inner Asia and caused a huge shock, Tsarist Russia had already known this situation. When a large number of Qing army troops crossed the Ural River and entered Europe, Tsarist Russia already understood that these guys were going to enter their territory, so the Tsar immediately ordered the army to be assembled to deal with these Eastern Tatars.

"Are these damn things, kill them for me!"

Seeing the Tatar cavalry carrying all kinds of trophies and even helping the white-skinned woman immediately, the Cossacks swarmed up. The group of Tatar cavalry who had just finished the battle and were about to return to their command did not expect that they would be intercepted by a group of Cossacks again. .This group of Tatar cavalry is not a good fighter. Most of them were herdsmen before, and their organization is not high. The number of Cossacks is even more than them.

As soon as the Cossacks charged, the Tatar cavalry here became a little flustered, and some even ran away directly.

Alexei Gold's Cossacks rushed up with strange screams. They were very fierce against enemies weaker than themselves, and they all carried their own carbines. Although the level of these carbines was quite backward, many still had to With matchlock.

The Tatar cavalry were scattered and could only fight the Cossacks with their own fighting spirit. They were quickly defeated by the Cossacks. A few Tatars escaped and the Cossacks won a victory.

Alexei Jin said proudly: "What, it's just a group of robbers from the East, vulnerable to a single blow."

He glanced back and found that some of his men had snatched the women who had been tied up by the Tatars, and some Cossacks even had silver smiles on them.

Alexei Kim scolded with a smile: "You guys."

His subordinates smiled and said: "Leader, let everyone have a good time, and these poor women were rescued by the heroic Cossacks. They lost their husbands and fathers. They are very sad. Let the mighty Cossacks come Wouldn't it be nice to calm down their grief?"

"That's right, boss, even if you accidentally killed him, it was done by the Tatars, and it has nothing to do with us."

Alexeykin was noncommittal, the Cossacks were never a disciplined army.

These Cossacks enjoyed the booty that the Tatars had robbed, and spent the night in camp here. The next day they continued to search south, and finally encountered a real Tatar.

What they encountered was a forward force of Zhenghongqi, not the new army that Feiyanggu trusted.On this arduous journey to the west, the Eight Banners of the Manchu and Qing Dynasties, which were originally low in combat effectiveness, have become more and more effective in combat after absorbing personnel from different tribes such as Mongolia, Kazakhs, and Turks, and equipped with some new weapons.

The instructors of the New Eight Banners Army were trained by Fei Yanggu’s new army, and the weapons used by the New Eight Banners Army were remade by the military workers of the New Army who confiscated the trophies along the road and brought them with machines. The performance was no better than the Hanyang used by the New Army. It is made, but it can be regarded as a bolt-action rifle. The ammunition used is mostly reloaded bullets, but it is also much stronger than matchlock guns.

The forward cavalry of Zhenghong Banner also spotted the oncoming Cossacks, and without any hesitation, the Red Banner cavalry came towards this side.

This was a duel between two light cavalry, and the Manchu Qing cavalry did not attempt a frontal assault, but surrounded the Cossacks and shot them with their more powerful rifles.

Alexei Kim also led his cavalry to deal with this group of Qing soldiers, with the purpose of finding a loophole and defeating them.

However, with the sound of intensive gunfire, Alexei Kim found that the Cossacks around him were knocked down one by one.

"This... this is a distance of three or four hundred yards. Why are their rifles so accurate at such a long distance?" Alexei Jin was terrified.

He immediately thought of escaping, but soon he found that more Manchu and Qing cavalry appeared around him.

This is the normal state of the Qing Dynasty's westward migration. The migration of a Gushan Mountain is often accompanied by a large number of cavalry scattered outside. When encountering a situation, they will quickly gather and can directly surround a group of enemies.

Alexei Jin immediately confessed, and shouted: "Whoever has a white flag, please print it out for me!"

He didn't know how strong the Manchu Qing was, but just based on these cavalrymen who could shoot the enemy hundreds of yards away on horseback, Alexei Kim decided that Russia might be in big trouble.
