Tsarist Russia: Please Call Me Your Majesty The Tsar
Chapter 23 The Counterattack Begins (First Update, Please Collect It!)
"Da da! Da da!"
Tens of thousands of Cossack cavalry, brandishing sabers in their hands, charged towards the defense line of Grand Duke Mikhail's army.
The horseshoes trampled on the ground, making dense sounds, gathering together, like thunder.
The cavalry has always been the main combat unit of the Tsarist Russian Empire Army, especially the Cossack cavalry, which is so brave that it has almost become a nightmare in the eyes of other European countries.
After the failure of the infantry and guards' attacks, Grand Duke Nicholas could only pin his hopes on these Cossack cavalry.
He hopes to rely on the speed advantage of the cavalry to quickly pass through the dense fire blockade of Grand Duke Mikhail's army and break through the line of defense. Open a safe passage for the guards behind.
However, he was quickly disappointed.
"Fire! Fire with all your might, don't skimp on ammo!"
Faced with this situation, Grand Duke Mikhail's army also responded immediately.
A large number of low-level officers gave orders loudly.
On the defensive line, all the weapons were in a meeting and fired at the maximum rate of fire, frantically pouring bullets at the Cossack cavalry. It is hoped that intensive firepower can be used to stop the attack of these Cossack cavalry.
After all, cavalry can advance much faster than infantry. If you don't pay attention, it may cause the defense line to be breached.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
Thousands of howitzers and field guns opened fire. At the same time, a large number of mortars of various calibers are also firing at the maximum rate of fire.
Dense shells fell like raindrops, and dense explosions sounded continuously.
A large number of Cossack cavalry were in the middle of the explosion, and those who were bombed were thrown off their feet. Many Cossack cavalrymen fell off their horses and were directly trampled into flesh.
"Da da da! Bang! Bang! Bang!"
Heavy machine guns and light machine guns, as well as the rifles in the hands of the soldiers, were also firing crazily.
The dense bullets poured on these Cossack cavalrymen, shooting them and the horses under them to death.
Although the charge speed of these Cossack cavalry was very fast, they were still unable to advance an inch under such intensive firepower.
Especially the distance of more than 100 meters in front of the defense line seems to have become a death penalty zone. No matter how many Cossack cavalry rushed here, they all fell down and lost their lives.
Many war horses were also shot to death, fell to the ground, and wailed loudly, making this battlefield even more like hell.
"Your Excellency, Grand Duke Nicholas is at his wit's end. Even the most elite Cossack cavalry has been dispatched. Our firepower is still very strong and we can completely resist their attack. As long as we resist them, we will win this battle Already!" Lieutenant General Brusilov's face was full of excitement.
Grand Duke Mikhail nodded: "Very well, it seems that we are not far from victory. Let our cavalry be ready. Once the order is given, we can launch the attack immediately!"
"Yes, Your Excellency the Grand Duke!" Lieutenant General Brusilov replied.
He also knew that after they withstood the attack of Grand Duke Nicholas' army, it was their turn to fight back. This battle will soon be decided.
Grand Duke Nicholas has been holding up the binoculars, watching the charge of the Cossack cavalry. Countless Guards soldiers in gray uniforms followed behind the Cossack cavalry.
However, Grand Duke Nicholas' face was ashen at the moment. It never occurred to him that even if the Cossack cavalry were dispatched, they would still be unable to break through the rebels' defenses.
"Damn! How is this possible? In just a few years, how could Mikhail build such a powerful army? This is simply unscientific!" Grand Duke Nicholas could hardly accept everything in front of him.
However, this is the fact, he can't help but not accept it.
"Your Excellency, what should we do now?" Grand Duke Agliani couldn't help but look worried.
They've tried everything they can, and they can't win. This makes the current situation undoubtedly very bad for them.
Grand Duke Nicholas was silent, or rather, he didn't know what to do now.
Time passed little by little, and the Cossack cavalry suffered heavy losses under the intensive firepower. This caused the morale of these Cossack cavalrymen to drop to freezing point quickly.
Although the Cossack cavalry in each province fought bravely, they were not fools!
In the past, they were the enemies who were defeated, but now they themselves have become the targets of massacres. This naturally shakes the fighting will of many Cossack cavalry.
It didn't take long for Cossack cavalry to turn their horses and flee the battlefield.
However, they collided with the guards following them, causing chaos on the battlefield.
This directly caused more Cossack cavalry to start fleeing.
Grand Duke Mikhail and Lieutenant General Brusilov were keenly aware of this.
Grand Duke Nicholas' army seemed to be on the verge of collapse. Therefore, the time for their counterattack is ripe.
"Order the cavalry to launch a counterattack immediately!" Grand Duke Mikhail ordered.
"Yes, Your Excellency the Grand Duke!" Lieutenant General Brusilov replied.
