Cherchen released 54 captured Kalmyk soldiers and sent them across the shore. In response to Chechen''s kindness, ayuqi immediately responded by releasing 108 captured Tatar tribal cavalry. Although there was no contact between the two sides after that, the Kalmyks never crossed the river again. They even separated from the Tatar cavalry of LAN gley at the beginning, and the two sides faced off across the river.
Everything seems to be developing in favor of the mercenary regiment.
But this situation did not last long. After two days of peace, the kalmec and Yishi LAN gley troops on the other side of the river made a large-scale attack again.
It turned out that ah Yuqi and Chechen lived in peace, and the most painful thing was LAN gley at the beginning. He was deeply annoyed at uzbeyi''s withdrawal of cavalry on the way, but there was nothing he could do. In order to apologize and win ah Yuqi''s continued participation in the attack on Chechen, at the beginning of the first day, LAN gley first sent messengers to apologize to ah Yuqi with rich gifts, and then entered ah Yuqi''s camp alone to explain. After that, ah Yuqi, who had been eager to get angry with Yishi LAN gley, finally calmed down. He left Yishi LAN gley to live in his camp, but he was noncommittal about sending troops, just saying he had to wait for the opportunity.
This is another day.
At the beginning of his impatience, LAN gley had no choice but to put forward that he would let uzenbei attack first to show his sincerity. After achieving favorable results, ah Yuqi''s kalmec cavalry would follow up.
This time, ah Yuqi finally agreed.
In order to finish the whole battle and prevent uzenbei from screwing up again, LAN gley made careful arrangements at the beginning. He wrote down a detailed attack plan and asked people to smuggle it over. In the plan, he made arrangements for the use of guns and large caliber muskets transported by uzenbei from Yasu fort to the front line, and also made unique arrangements for boosting morale and offensive tactics.
Therefore, on the day of the attack, the Tatar cavalry attack on the other side of the Kuban river did not start with exploratory and demonstrative artillery fire, but began in worship.
Before launching the general offensive, uzenbei made a grand field worship according to the order of LAN gley at the beginning. As the imams in white robes ascended the platform, uzenbei, the tribal leaders behind them and the tribal soldiers behind them knelt down on the ground.
Under the leadership of Imam, there were bursts of prayers on the quiet battlefield: "Ailai hamu reads the order slightly, Xi langbi comes to MI Nai, Anla hamu reads rahmi, and Mo lik wants to kill Dini, printed with Kai Nair Budu, and printed with Kai NAIS taieno. Although Yuxi Dinan is bought by latal, Mu Taige, he comes to re Nai with La Tuan, AI Nai, Mu TAIR comes to Yi Xin, and AI lile buys calyx like Bilai, Yixin mother, wailang dari Nai. (aminai)."
The sound spread along the wind to the vehicle array of the mercenary regiment. Fully armed Chechen and Pedro, who were patrolling, couldn''t help getting on a chariot and looking at the place where uzenbei''s army gathered.
After looking for a long time, Che Chen turned his head. He asked the officers behind him, "can you hear what they are saying?"
Yelishei and others shook their heads one after another.
Finally, Oksana, who had traveled far and wide, answered everyone''s doubts and said, "Captain, they are doing * * * worship, and they are reading their congratulations."
***Your church? Your toast?
Chechen put his hand on his cochlea and listened. With more and more people reciting, the voice reaching Chechen''s ears became clearer and clearer. But he could hear clearly, but he didn''t know what those words meant.
"Oksana, do you know what they are talking about?" Chechen asked Oksana for help.
Oksana had been waiting for Chechen to turn to her for help. She said loudly, "all praise belongs to Allah, the Lord who brings up the world, the Lord who is most benevolent and kind, and the Lord of the day of retribution. We only worship you, and we only ask you for help. The way you help is not the way of the angry or the wrong. (Lord, please accept it)"
Then, a different eulogy came: Gu Le Hu Wang La Hu AI Hadd, Allah Hu Shuai bought it, the coming eyes also benefited, the foreign eyes were excellent, the foreign eyes were also trapped in Hu, kufu Wang ah Hadd. Allah Hu akba!
Oksana was preparing to translate. Pedro, beside Chechen, shouted first, "I know the last sentence. Allahu Akbar, Allah''s greatest meaning."
Seeing Pedro''s elated appearance, Oksana put on her face: "well, dear deputy head of Pedro, please translate the previous words."
Being robbed by Oksana, Pedro scratched the back of his head and smiled.
Oksana continued, "he is Allah, the only one; Allah is on which all things depend; he has not produced, nor has he been produced; nothing can match him. Allah is great."
After listening to Oksana''s translation, Chechen and all the officers understood that uzenbei was using the power of religion to boost his morale. He tried to turn the battle into a * * * holy war.
Everyone knows how terrible the * * * soldiers inspired by the religious fanaticism of "Allah Hu Akbar".
In order to interrupt uzzenbey''s singing of boosting morale, Cherchen decisively ordered the artillery to fire at the position of yishilan gley, trying to disperse the worshipping enemy. But the effect is not significant. Although the roar of the cannon temporarily obscured the singing sound, as long as the cannon was heard, the sound of praising Allah came as usual.
The Polish soldiers of the two squadrons of the mercenary regiment saw each other''s singing constantly. Even if they were shelled, they did not stop at all. First, they were afraid, and their eyes could not help showing uneasiness and fear.
"God bless, God bless!"
Some of the soldiers of the two squadrons kept chanting and crossing on their chest. But this kind of behavior not only did not make them feel at ease, but became more and more guilty.
"No, no, we also need to boost the morale of the soldiers. The soldiers of Christ can''t be compared with the pagans." Pedro shouted with his ears covered.
Pedro''s words inspired Cherchen: Yes, they have imams, and we also have priests! Since we can''t suppress the enemy''s voice, we have to treat him in his own way. They moved out Jesus Christ against their Allah.
"Father sparsokuktsky, can you make an elephant tour now?" Chechen turned to father sparsokuktsky and asked.
Father sparsokukotsky thought for a moment. He replied firmly, "no problem, commander!"
Then father sparsokukotsky went back.
If not, father sparso kucktsky came back soon. He held the gold-plated communion box in his hands and held it respectfully over his head. Then, father sparsokukotsky, dressed in a dress, calmly marched forward in the car array.
"Our father in heaven
hallowed be thy name
Your Kingdom come
May your will be done on earth
Like walking in heaven
Our Daily Bread
Give it to us today
Forgive our debts
Just as we forgave people''s debts
Don''t let us meet temptation
deliver us from evil
For Kingdom, power and glory
It''s all yours
Forever. "
There is no better comfort than this holy sound. The Polish soldiers of the mercenary regiment were calm when they saw spasokukotsky''s solemn appearance and heard such a sacred voice.
Everyone bowed their heads piously and sang hymns under the lead of the priest. With the end of the tour, the soldiers were no longer anxious and afraid, because they consciously received the blessing of divine power. Everyone waited quietly for the enemy to attack.
Finally, the week of * * * is over. In uzenbei''s camp, the bugles were blaring, and the Tatars beat the BART drum - a call before the assault.
When Bart''s big drum sounded, on the other side of the Kuban River, ah Yuqi took out his ears and said to himself, "it''s quiet at last."
On his side, gardanze zero saw that the opposite side was finally going to fight, and shouted excitedly, "the dog bit the dog, and finally the dog bit the dog."
At this time, on the beach on the left wing of ayuqi, at the beginning, LAN gley also took a deep breath. In the eyes of the tribal leader and soldiers, he also issued an attack order. The artillery and large calibre muskets on the uzenbei position roared together with the skin artillery of Yishi LAN gley, and hail shells and bullets were fired at the vehicle array of the mercenary regiment.
The artillery was so fierce that the mercenary regiment''s vehicle array was seriously damaged for the first time. The front baffles of the three chariots directly in front of the vehicle array were smashed by shells, and the soldiers of the mercenary regiment hiding behind were also overturned on the ground. The reserve team hidden behind the chariot carried the dead and wounded away, and then filled the gap with sandbags. But the enemy''s fire was so dense that two more soldiers were shot in the process of stacking sandbags.
After two rounds of enemy artillery fire, the artillery of the mercenary regiment began to fight back. Shells were fired at the enemy''s artillery positions one after another. Compared with the mercenary regiment using chariots as defensive positions, the breast wall built by uzbeyi''s artillery with soil is undoubtedly more solid and more difficult to destroy.
In the 30 minute artillery battle, the mercenary regiment lost a total of 36 soldiers and 11 chariots were damaged.
After the artillery battle, uzzenbey''s army rushed to the position of the mercenary regiment like a rolling tide, with billows and roars. The earth was shaking with its great potential. The sharp eyed man saw that the enemy was not a man, but a group of cattle.
It turned out that this was another trick played by Yishi LAN gley. The Qianniu cattle were used as "beef shields" to consume the garrison ammunition.
Cattle are not war horses. They have not been trained to adapt to such a battlefield with the sound of artillery. So they were frightened. These poor animals tried to escape from the slaughterhouse in front of them, but the herdsman drove the cattle together with whip and torch in tears.
Although we know that these Qianniu are the tools used by the enemy to consume the fire of the mercenary regiment, we can''t let them close to the vehicle array. In desperation, Chechen had to order to fire directly with solid shells. Solid shells smashed rows of cattle. Forty meters away from the position of the mercenary regiment, the remaining cattle finally couldn''t bear to escape in spite of obstacles, while the attackers behind them continued to move forward on the carcass of cattle.
The soldiers of the mercenary regiment thought that after dispersing and destroying the cattle, the next thing they had to face was the real enemy. But behind Qianniu, there were rows of prisoners carrying sandbags and the residents of Yasu fort. They were driven ahead. In fact, the situation of these people is no different from that of cattle. Under the artillery and driving of the defenders, their bodies fell to the ground like sandbags and became tools for countless ankles to trample on.
Finally, when the corpses and sandbags piled up a slope in front of the chariot, at the beginning, LAN gley''s real killing move was led by Khan escorts wearing heavy armor and holding shields. The offensive force of up to 2000 people led by nine tribal chiefs launched a flood of attacks under the personal command of uzenbei.
At the beginning, LAN gley knew that the quality of his soldiers was uneven, so he ordered uzbeyi to arrange elite veterans with excellent equipment and rich combat experience in the front row. The dozens of heavy armor Khan guards, as arrows, stepped on sandbags and bodies and rushed to the battle. Behind the chariot, waiting for them were five rows of musketeers and soldiers with long guns.
Seeing a forest of guns and a black muzzle ahead, these Khan guards not only did not shrink back, but skillfully turned their sides, protected their shields in front of them, and then jumped straight into them.
Dozens of muskets fired at the same time. Several Khan guards who jumped up in the air were knocked upside down by the huge impact of bullets, and their bodies were also hit with holes. Although from the outside, the bullet only said that the small metal plate chain armor and long metal plate chain armor had made small holes, their flesh and blood had long been twisted like a pile of mud by deformed lead bullets in the plate chain armor.
Next, several Khan guards were picked up by long guns. But their sacrifice is not without harvest. More Khan guards jumped into the chariot array because of the sacrifice of their comrades in arms, and fought with the soldiers of the mercenary regiment.
The area in the chariot array is small, which is not conducive to the power of the long gun. The soldiers of the mercenary regiment with long guns threw down their long guns and pulled out high-quality short and broad swords to fight with the incoming enemy. After shooting the bullets in the barrel, the Musketeers also held down their guns or pulled out their long and thin swords to join the hand to hand fight.
The heavy armor of the Khan guards is strong. The short and broad sword in the long Spearman''s hand can only hurt the Khan guards if it stabs the joint of the plate chain armor or the armpit where there is no armor, which makes it extremely difficult for the soldiers of the two squadrons to fight.
Taking advantage of the anxious situation of the war, some Tatar tribal soldiers blocked behind began to move fixed chariots. They pulled out the pin stuck on the wheel, cut off the iron chain connecting the chariot and pushed the chariot aside.
The breakthrough was constantly enlarged, and more and more uzzenbey''s troops poured in.
Just then, at the beginning of the other side of the river, LAN gley''s army also began to cross the rive
