Under Grand Duke Mikhail, there were ten brigades of cavalry. Even after deducting the artillery of the brigade and other units directly under the brigade, the pure cavalry units that can be mounted to fight are nearly 60,000 people.
These cavalry have long been ready for battle.
After receiving the order to fight, these cavalry immediately detoured from the side of the battlefield and launched an attack.
At the same time, Grand Duke Mikhail also gave the order to put five more infantry divisions into battle.
Now, it’s time to fight back, so naturally there is no need to hide and lock it anymore. All the main forces can be thrown into the offensive. Thus ensuring their victory in this battle.
“Tap!
Tap!”
A large number of cavalry appeared on the battlefield and quickly attracted the attention of Grand Duke Nicholas.
“Your Excellency, Mikhail threw in his cavalry and attacked us from the north!” reported Admiral Miloraf.
“Order the remaining cavalry to immediately enter the battle and stop Mikhail’s cavalry!”
When it came to attacking with cavalry, Grand Duke Nikolai also left room for it. He did not throw in all the cavalry, but left more than 20,000 Cossack cavalry to protect the flanks of the troops.
Now these troops can come in handy.
“Ula! Ula!”
Twenty thousand Cossack cavalry with sabers and spears at their waists bravely charged.
Although they face three times more enemies than they are. However, these Cossack cavalry remained fearless.
In other words, they are definitely the kings of cold weapons in this era.
The Cossack cavalry of the Russian Empire was not equipped with rifles, only sabers and spears, and a small number of artillery.
These skillful and fierce Cossack cavalry were the most powerful cavalry of the era.
However, the cavalry they faced was different, not only each of them was equipped with horse guns. Moreover, the rest of the configuration does not differ from the infantry units in any way. In layman’s terms, these cavalry are just infantry who can ride horses. Of course, their cavalry tactics are still very good. Even if it can’t be compared with elite cavalry, it’s not too bad.
Therefore, when faced with the attack of the Cossack cavalry, these cavalry did not charge-for-tat, but immediately stopped.
The cavalrymen rolled over and dismounted, blocking the horse in front of them, and then mounted the mounted gun on the back of the horse. In this way, a simple line of defense is undoubtedly formed.
At the same time, the rest of the light machine guns, heavy machine guns, mortars and quickly ready to fire.
“Hahaha, a bunch of cowards!”
“Ula! Ula, we are the most powerful cavalry!”
“Break the cowards and kill them!”
The Cossack cavalrymen, shouting loudly, with a mocking face.
They may have never seen such a cavalry that voluntarily dismounts during battle, and in their eyes, this is simply a sign of cowardice.
“Fire!”
When these Cossack cavalry rushed to a distance of only more than a hundred meters, Lieutenant General Gurko, the cavalry general of Grand Duke Mikhail, ordered.
“Knock
knock! Knock knock!”
Mortars and heavy machine guns began to fire fiercely.
A dense stream of shells and bullets shrouded the Cossack cavalry like a violent storm.
“Boom! Boom!”
The shells exploded, killing quite a few Cossack cavalrymen and falling from their horses.
“Tap-da-da!”
The dense bullets of light and heavy machine guns made the offensive momentum of these Cossack cavalry even more delayed.
“Bang!
bang! bang!”
The mounted guns in the hands of the cavalry were also firing fiercely, shooting the Cossack cavalry.
For a time, the valiant Cossack cavalry was hit by intensive fire.
This kind of combat mode is something they have never encountered before. Or did they never think that in cavalry combat, they could still play like this?
So much so that when these Cossack cavalry attacked, they paid extremely heavy losses directly under the fire of the cavalry units of Grand Duke Mikhail.
Their brave charge, in the face of the enemy’s powerful firepower, did not have much effect at all, but seemed to seek their own death.
The harder you rush, the worse you die.
“Bastards, these damn guys, they’re a shame for the cavalry!”
“Are they cavalry or infantry?”
Many Cossack cavalry had such questions in their minds before they were shot again.
In their eyes, Grand Duke Mikhail’s cavalry was too unreasonable to play their cards.
Isn’t it a cavalry duel? You still fight more and less, how can you play like this?
The losses soared, allowing the already boiling blood of these Cossack cavalry to quickly cool down.
Many Cossack cavalry began to retreat in embarrassment. However, at this time they collided with the cavalry behind, and the people who collided turned on their backs.
This also allowed Grand Duke Mikhail’s cavalry unit to give full play to its powerful firepower at this time, causing greater casualties to these Cossack cavalry.
