731 [Temptation of Interest](2/2)
The Cossack gunners on the ship also quickly filled the cannonballs to cover the retreat of their main force.
Less than three miles away, seven hundred Datong cavalry arrived in an instant, and the accompanying soldiers and civilians who had been hiding in the stockade also rushed out.
“Boom boom boom!
Three artillery pieces were fired. One of the charging Datong cavalry was hit in the chest, and the hoofs of three war horses were hit by the advancing and rolling cannonballs.
Cossack robbers rushed to board the boat, and the native hunters also crowded together and pushed each other.
Seeing that there was no other way, Khabarov quickly said: "Turn around and line up, turn around and line up!"
This guy was extremely cruel to his subordinates. Those who usually disobeyed would all be hanged in public. When the order was issued at this moment, there were actually many indigenous hunters who turned around to face the enemy with fear of death.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Khabarov decisively led people on board the ship and abandoned the indigenous hunters as cannon fodder.
Those twenty-odd Cossack musketeers were Khabarov's favorites, and the rest of his men could be sold at any time.
Hundreds of fully armed cavalry rushed towards him, and Khabarov only fought because he was confused. A cavalry force of this size and equipment could already serve as the main force of a small country in Europe. He knew that he had hit a brick wall this time.
More than 60 poor-minded native hunters fired arrows at the Datong cavalry in a panic.
Some arrowheads, even those made of bone and stone, were immediately replaced by hundreds of iron arrowheads. When the arrows fell, the native hunters collapsed immediately, and those who survived turned and ran away, fighting for the boarding planks with the Cossack masters.
“Bang bang bang!”
The dragoons also fired, hitting the crowd at close range. From time to time, enemies fell into the river.
Chapter completed!
