The scouts were transmitting nearby developments to the ruins of Zhitomir day by day. The Russians must have learned that Zhitomir and the surrounding areas were deserted. They were in a hurry and did not even call in a single scout.

, but stepped up the implementation of the three-light policy in villages that were still inhabited. Compared with us who just burned down the buildings in the villages and allowed the Poles to move away their food and all their wealth, the Russians were much more ruthless.

When you live in a Polish village, you must be entertained with good wine and meat. If they drink too much and get excited, they will perform naughty entertainment programs for the local Poles on the spot and make cuckolds for the locals.

As night fell on the eighth day of freezing weather, I gave the marching order. After two hours of marching, the army arrived at its first destination.

A traditional Polish village with no characteristics. Judging from the size of the village, the population including serfs is only more than 500. However, in such a small village of 500 people, more than 600 Russians live in it.

And all of them are cavalry.

Standing far away at the edge of a small slope in the village, even though we were several kilometers apart, we could hear the desperate cries and the shrill cries of women in the wind.

"Those Russians probably didn't even spare a fifty-year-old woman." I shrugged my nose and let the troops rest. I opened my pocket watch and looked at the time in the moonlight. It was ten twenty-four in the evening.

After resting for twenty minutes, or shivering in the night wind for twenty minutes, not only the soldiers, but also the officers requested an immediate attack and sent cavalry around, and the battle started at eleven o'clock.

At this moment, the Russian target did not know that he was being targeted.

Probably because the food in the army was not good enough, and because the area around Kiev was completely wiped out, they didn't even have a sentry post. They were either warming themselves over fires, drinking wine and eating meat in the villages, or enjoying themselves in wooden houses.

I have looted many villages, and my impression of Polish village girls can be rated as two or three. Many of them are probably a little better than Ruhua with a booger. Their strong body shape can tell at a glance that they have worked hard.

Of course, younger people can still score four or five points, but there are very few, because the beautiful ones are all in the old wealthy landlords or nobles' castles. Polish serfs have no human rights, let alone *** here, if the nobles and landlords want it every night

**, your old serf’s legal wife will have to be a bride later, which is much harsher than the aristocratic rule enacted by England’s rule in Scotland.

With a compassionate heart that I came to help the poor Polish serfs escape from the sea of ​​misery, I asked the Polish Hussars to rush into the village first, with a burst of swords and sword stabs, and then the Chasseurs rushed in as the second group. This time,

They were firing guns everywhere and heading straight for where the Russians were firing their horses.

The sea of ​​​​fire started from the middle of the wooden house, horses neighed and people screamed, and the scene was chaotic. However, although it happened suddenly, the quality of the Russian people is still worthy of recognition. Some were half-drunk, bleary-eyed, holding up their pants or just bare their buttocks.

, he just picked up everything he could and walked out of the cabin.

In the sea of ​​​​fire, the arrogant Russia could not help but chop up the Poles who were scurrying around them, and then...it was very sad that some of them even started beating up their own people. What a tragedy.

In the firelight, black shadows followed one after another. As soon as the Russian horses were freed from the restraints of the ropes, they ran wildly around in the sea of ​​​​fire, making the chaotic village even more chaotic.

The cavalry rushed into the village from the south, rushed out from the north, continued to fight back to the village from the east, and then came out from the west. At this time, the three infantry battalions were divided into three groups to surround the entrance of the village, forming a line of eight people and ten people in a row.

A line of columns.

With the sound of advancing drums, they walked slowly towards the village. Along the way, Russians jumped out with sabers, benches and wooden sticks, but they were soon killed by a volley of infantry in the front row.

"Change row!"

Following the shouts of the frontline officers, the infantrymen who had shot out their bullets withdrew from the two columns and retreated to the last column. They shot all the bullets in their hands in the entire column, and the next column replaced them. As early as the ancient Roman period, the Romans

He is a veteran of columns and company columns. The most famous column formation, the turtle formation, was invented by the Romans. Now we use this push-type column and it is called a hedgehog in Rome. Reduce the front to increase the depth of the troops, and fire guns while walking.

After a whole column has finished shooting, the next column will take over the task of breaking through. They will continue to cycle and advance to squeeze the enemy's space until they break through the enemy's defense line. Although I don't understand why the Romans can't be as artistic and imaginative as the Chinese.

Talents include the Sovereign Formation, the Eight-door Golden Lock Formation, the Soaring Dragon and the Tiger Leap Formation, the All-Plain Formation, and so on. When you hear it, you will know that it is a very awesome formation, but in terms of effectiveness, the hedgehog is not as effective in street fighting.

Not bad, there is a premise here, the enemy does not have cannons.

The courage of these Russians is indeed commendable, but sometimes the outcome of a war cannot be determined by courage alone. They are completely at a disadvantage in terms of quantity, quality, and equipment. In addition, the incident happened suddenly.

Many people were extremely drunk, and there was no effective fight at all. The battle was completely one-sided. Rather than calling it a battle, it would be more appropriate to call it a one-sided massacre.

Before they even got close, the infantry weakened them with their flintlock muskets. They fired a volley and watched the people around them fall one by one. When they got closer, the soldiers in the front row had already put on their rifles.

Soldiers with bullets, even if they can't fire their guns, can always fight with more and less, several groups can fight one by one, and a Russian can be killed in one bayonet thrust.

Step by step, I suppressed the Russians who were encroaching on the villages and fighting on their own. Through observation, I found that the Russian cavalry troops were extremely short of firearms. The Russians who blocked our attack along the way rarely had guns. It was unlike Rome, where the Chasseurs could do it with just one manpower.

A carbine. Although the cuirassiers did not have guns, the stamped steel armor on their chests was enough to make them fearless in the face of swords. However, thanks to their cavalry units not being heavily armed with guns, we suffered almost no damage.

In less than half a day, this Russian cavalry formation became history, and the corpses of Russians and Poles were everywhere.

The village was blazing with fire. Maybe it was because of the cold weather these days. The soldiers left the trophies on the ground and put their hands by the fire to warm themselves. Anyway, the fire was already burning, and there were no Russians in a short period of time, so I simply

So the army was asked to cook grain and dried meat here, melt the wine, and have a feast.

The warm broth poured into my mouth, and I burst into tears: "What if I can never eat it again."

In the following days, I led my troops to attack the Russians everywhere. Although there were many Russians, they were scattered around to collect food.

After two battles, I found that I liked this kind of attack. The casualties were extremely low and the results were outstanding. There was a long queue, hundreds of vehicles carrying the most urgently needed supplies for the Russians, accompanied by chickens, ducks and cattle.

Sheep, the entire grain collection team was guarded by less than a hundred people. Once the cavalry charged, those infantry were basically finished. The next thing to do was to burn the grain trucks. Because of winter, the sun sets early, and the battle will be resolved before dark.

, burned the food with a fire, and the thick smoke made it difficult for the Russians in the distance to detect it. In addition, it seemed that the cavalry team that was killed first on the first night was the largest Russian cavalry, and the Russians had no chance of fighting back.

force.

But the most important thing is that we have cavalry. A large number of cavalry takes the initiative. We can appear around the Russian food transport team at the time we want. Furthermore, on the night of the first night attack, we captured

We captured a lot of Russian horses. Since many of them were soldiers from Anatolia, riding horses was not a problem at all. After several raids, we captured Russian horses and equipped them with us. This greatly improved the mobility of the entire unit.

Step up, play Russians how you want, not play.

But equipping a large number of horses is not without its disadvantages. Horses eat more than people. If this continues, the Russians will not die, and the horses will eat us to death!

Four attacks were carried out in eleven days, killing more than 400 Russians, burning more than 400 grain trucks, scaring away countless chickens, ducks, cattle and sheep, and saving hundreds of Poles. For those who let the Russians

The oppressed Poles, I asked our Polish Hussars to tell them that our army that rescued them from the sea of ​​​​suffering is the people's army. It is the people of the rebellious Poles in the south who came north to rescue their compatriots and gave them some

Food, cattle, sheep, and Russian weapons allowed them to go south to join the rebel groups.

I think I should collect it as soon as it's ready. If we don't, the Russian fishing nets will come to collect us.

But before I left, I thought I could still take a risk and make a big fortune.

We hid part of our troops and let a few Russian officers and soldiers who were specially captured for the fourth time visit Zhitomir's grain farm, and then carefully revealed our troop strength and the news that we would leave after a while during the interrogation.

So he let them go on a dark and windy night.

After Assassin made sure that the Russians had all mounted the stolen horses and escaped without any danger, he came back and asked, "Will the Russians come?"

I think they will come: "You must have encountered such a situation sometimes, and you have made a big mistake. If you are discovered, there is only a dead end and your future is ruined. If it were you, what would you do for your future?

?”

"Try every means to remedy the situation." Assassin said without any doubt.

I nodded with deep understanding: "Didn't we burn a lot of their food some time ago? Will the Russian dog officer in charge of food collection report the big mess he dug up? If we were here alone, the Russians wouldn't

It will definitely come immediately, but we have a large amount of food stored here,"

"If the Russian officers can obtain food, even if they barely complete the mission, the huge price they have paid can be used to protect the food to get a lighter sentence or to offset the merit. So I think the Russians do have a reason to come.

Take a chance.”

The terrain around Zhitomir is flat, and there is no hiding place in the city. I don’t think that the Russians are stupid enough to be attacked by us here, so I decided to hide my team at the ferry of the Teterev River next to Zhitomir.

.The ferry there is close to the mountains and forests, and it may be the point of crossing to the west. If we can attack it halfway across, it would be perfect.

After waiting for a few days, the Russians did not disappoint. Across a frozen river, the detective brought news of Russia's arrival!

As expected, a few Russians brought a large number of Russians!

Pig players like Jiang Gan are really awesome!

And there aren't even any sentinels. If I don't attack them, I'll have a bad conscience.
