Chapter 349 The Qing Dynasty still has to rely on these foreign devils (please subscribe!)

At the same time, after the Russian army fought with a small group of troops for more than a month, Bashkov basically figured out that the Qing army in front of him was indeed a weapon that was not backward, well-trained, and experienced in combat. There are abundant troops, and the Qing army far exceeds the Russian army in terms of military strength, so the chance of the Russian army winning this battle is not high.

However, Rakshasa are originally a nation with extremely fierce character and are aggressive and warlike. Of course, they will not be passive and timid just because they are at a disadvantage in terms of strength. In addition, through the battle in the previous month, Bashkov also gained some knowledge.

The Russian army does not have no advantages over the Qing army, because the Russian army's cavalry is more powerful than the Qing army. This is a major advantage of the Russian army. If used well, the Cossack cavalry can still play a great role, so in In the battle against the Qing army, if the superiority of the cavalry army can be fully utilized, there may not be no chance of victory.

The Russian commander-in-chief Bashkov finally decided to concentrate all the cavalry to attack on the initiative. He would first use small groups of cavalry to attack the Qing army's men, horses or baggage. After the Qing army's horses and horses were tired, they would then concentrate their forces and attack the Qing army's troops. Attack with the main force and strive to defeat the Qing army in one fell swoop.

After confirming the battle plan, the Russian army immediately divided the work. Bashkov sent his deputy, Colonel Beketov, with 500 cavalry out of the city, and set up an ambush outside the city, waiting for the Qing army to attack and find the right opportunity to attack the Qing army's flanks.

On August 25th, the Qing Dynasty army finished their meal hastily and lined up outside Nerchinsk, preparing to attack the Rakshasa people's last fortress in the Far East.

If Yaksa is a wooden fortress, Nerchinsk is a fortress entirely made of stone.

The main castle of Nerchinsk is not big, but it is completely in the style of a European and American bastion.

There were Portuguese mercenaries in Kangxi's army. Kangxi turned around and asked Sanchez, the Portuguese officer behind him: "Old Sang, why are your European castles so small?"

Sanchez, whose military rank was a captain, stood up to attention when the Qing Emperor called him, and then replied loudly: "Your Excellency, these Slavs are a bunch of illiterate people and thieves. What kind of war will they fight? As soon as the Qing heavenly soldiers arrive, they will Will Kaicheng surrender!"

Kangxi nodded, he had to be careful about this. The Cossack cavalry was very powerful, but the Oroqen cavalry under his command was nothing. They would lose more against the Cossacks than they would win.

It's not that Sanchez looks down on the Rakshasa people, it's just that the Rakshasa people have such a bad reputation.

Kangxi picked up a Western telescope and looked at the Rakshasa people on the opposite side. He saw that the Rakshasa soldiers were wearing various clothes and did not even have uniforms. In addition to these Rakshasa soldiers, their weapons were also very crude. There were two thousand people outside the city. There are actually half of the cold weapons used in it.

Kangxi, the commander-in-chief of the Qing army, was riding a horse and standing at the back of the team. He looked at the Russian troops lined up and said, "Lao Sang, haven't you ever fought against the Rakshasa people in Europe?"

"Okay, Lao Sang, I know you Portuguese soldiers are powerful, so let's do this! You see the Rakshasa people on the other side are pretty decent too, who do you think can win this battle?"

Kangxi laughed when he heard what Sanchez said and asked: "Oh? You are so noble, why were you defeated by the Ming Dynasty?"

Sanchez looked at the opposite side and said: "Your Excellency, the Rakshasa people are inferior to our army in terms of numbers and weapons. Naturally, our army can win, but please be careful of the other side's cavalry. That Cossack cavalry is very powerful. Now The Rakshasa army has left the city but they haven't, so be careful they are ambushing around and preparing for a sneak attack!"

After listening to Kangxi's words, Lang Tanhui quickly assured him: "Please rest assured, Your Majesty, the general will go to supervise the battle against those Oroqen people, and he will definitely ensure the flanks of our army!"

After all, Portugal was a wealthy country. It was the first-generation colonial country. Although it declined, its skeleton was still there, so it naturally looked down upon those Slavic slaves.

At the same time, the Rakshasa people really don’t speak Russian. Even Pushkin, the later great Russian poet, didn’t speak Russian. Pushkin always spoke elegant French when attending banquets. Speaking Russian is the sign of an inferior person!

Kangxi didn't know whether what Sanchez said was true or false, but he felt that since the Portuguese said so, then just bombard them with big cannons and that would be it!

Sanchez rolled his eyes after listening to Kangxi's question and said: "Your Excellency, Russia is in the far north, thousands of miles away from Lisbon. Our Portuguese army has never fought against the Russians! What's more, slaves like the Slavs are not worthy of fighting against the noble Portugal.

Soldiers fight!”

Kang Mazi pointed at the Rakshasa people opposite and said contemptuously: "These poor Rakshasa people, even these soldiers dare to invade our Qing Dynasty. You really think that anyone in our Qing Dynasty can take a bite!"

After Kangxi listened to Sanchez's flattery, he curled his lips and said: "I say, Lao Sang, you have been in the Qing Dynasty for several years. Why haven't we learned the fine traditions of the Chinese people and only learned to brag and flatter?"

After finishing their meal, the Qing Dynasty troops from Batulu walked out of the camp by the river under the leadership of mid-level officers and formed a formation five miles away from Nerchinsk City.

The Russian troops in the city also came out of the city and relied on the city wall, forming three columns, ready to fight the Qing army.

Kangxi heard that Sanchez was angry and didn't ask further questions. After all, although Sanchez liked to brag, he was a good man and never played tricks when drinking and gambling. Moreover, the Qing Dynasty had to rely on these foreign devils!

After hearing what Kangxi said, Sanchez said angrily: "Your Excellency, please don't insult the noble Portuguese soldiers. The Ming Dynasty is a group of pirates. They only use tricks. If we fight Portugal openly and openly, we will never lose!"

"

Thinking of this, Kangxi turned to his deputy general Lang Tanhui and said: "Lang Tan, when the battle starts, you have to be careful of that group of Cossack cavalry. The Qing cavalry was so powerful back then. How come these Oroqen people don't look like relatives of the Eight Banners of the Qing Dynasty?"

Run away at the slightest trouble, and don't be merciful for a while, or you can't use the war team to kill more than a dozen deserters!"

Sanchez chuckled when Kangxi said this and said: "Your Majesty, it's not that I look down on these Slavs. They just founded the country a few decades ago. I heard that their king can't speak Russian and can only speak French and Spanish. This

How can such people fight any war?"

Not to mention, from now on this Rakshasa ghost will be the one who bites the Qing Dynasty the hardest!

In fact, Kangxi had learned about the situation of the European army before and knew that the current mainstream European armies were a mixture of cold weapons and muskets.

Even Sweden, a powerful military power, cannot have an all-firearms force. Of course, it’s not that these European countries don’t have money. It’s just that most of the European muskets are matchlocks. The shooting accuracy is not even close to that of the fire rate, so they are equipped with a certain amount of cold weapons.

That's the right way.

Kangxi saw that the army on the opposite side was far from the strong European army he expected, and he was not prepared to look any further. Kangxi said to the herald behind him: "Let's start, order the artillery to open fire!"

If I can’t defeat the Ming Dynasty, how can I defeat you, Rakshasa?
