The two people fighting openly and secretly finally stood on the same front at this critical moment. Apraksin was not shy and said, "Commander Witt, you have to be careful!"

Witt nodded heavily, then rushed out of the Tibetan soldiers and immediately summoned all the Cossack cavalry to gather on a school ground in Jingzhou City.

The shelling continued, as if after each shelling, the entire Jingzhou City trembled. The streets were filled with an unpleasant smell of burnt. Even on winter mornings, the heat waves transmitted from the air still made people feel dry.

Many of the Cossack cavalry gathered were stained with black cannon fodder on their faces, and some of their military uniforms were even burned through several holes. Even some war horses had their manes slightly curled on their necks, making the entire Cossack cavalry look extremely embarrassed.

Seeing that a team of Cossack cavalry was not riding horses, but came on foot, Witt stepped forward and asked, "Aren't you letting you gather in full arms? Why aren't you riding horses? Are you going to be infantry?"

The major commander of the hiking cavalry said with a sad face: "Report to the commander, just now a Southern Army shell exploded in our stable, and dozens of good horses were killed on the spot. As the explosion ignited the haystack on one side, all our war horses were burned to death in the stable!"

Witt was angry for a moment. He knew that he could not blame his Cossack cavalry commander. It was indeed because the artillery fire of the Southern Army was too fierce. Many infantry hiding in the houses were burned to death, not to mention these cavalry with larger targets.

"Character to me immediately, how many cavalry can participate in the battle?" Witt asked in despair.

After a while, the latest statistics were presented to Vette. More than 1,000 horses were lost, and more than 700 cavalrymen were either killed by shells, choked to death by thick smoke, or burned to death. At this time, only more than 8,000 cavalry were left of the Cossack cavalry who could fight.

When Witt saw this statistical result, he felt a lot of pain. He personally led 30,000 Cossack cavalry southward. Unexpectedly, in just a few months, the remaining cavalry were less than 10,000, and the entire army lost more than half of the troops. This was the result before Jingzhou was captured.

Just now, more than a thousand brave and warlike Cossack cavalry fell under the fierce artillery fire of the southern army. How could this not make Vette feel sorry for!

Witt reconciled his grief and stood in front of the formation and said excitedly: "All Cossack cavalry warriors, you have always been the pride of Russia. In the past few hundred years, the great Cossack cavalry has led Russia to fight many victories. It can be said that the great Cossack cavalry ancestors have made great contributions to the reason why Russia has the vastest territory in the world today!

"Today, we have to face another arduous battle. Outside Jingzhou City, there are more southern troops than many of us eyeing each other. Under such fierce artillery fire, we cannot sit and wait for death. We must take out the blood of our predecessors of the Cossack cavalry and fight to the death with the enemy outside the city!"

"Fight to the death!" Nearly 10,000 Cossack cavalry shouted in anger, and at the same time, waving their bright sabers. The sabers in the hands of the Cossack cavalry turned into a spectacular forest of swords under the winter sun!

I don’t know that the Cossack cavalry officer shouted: “Let the eagles on the Volga River fly over Jingzhou!”

All the Cossack cavalry were excited when they heard this, but with a loud "boom", a shell hit the Cossack cavalry officer who had just spoken. The officer didn't even have time to scream and instantly turned into scattered flesh and blood, and dozens of Cossack cavalry near him died instantly.

Witt pulled out his saber, stared at his blood-red eyes, and roared: "Kill! Break out a bloody road and buy time for the infantry legion!"

"Kill!" After a brief chaos, the Cossack cavalry reorganized their formation and followed behind Vette.

At this time, the gate of Jingzhou City was slowly opened. With Viter's order, the leading Cossack cavalry rushed out of the city gate like the wind.

Witt joined the Cossack cavalry team with a determination to die. The horses were neighing and the hooves rolled. Nearly ten thousand Cossack cavalry began to rush out from the north gate of Jingzhou like a torrent.

In the distant southern army camp, a scout ran to Nie Shicheng to report: "Report to General, the Cossack cavalry are breaking out from the north entrance and rushing towards us!"

Nie Shicheng laughed: "It's just right here!"

Feng Guozhang stepped forward and said, "General, should you avoid it for the time being!" Feng Guozhang was worried that the Cossack cavalry would rush directly to the front of the formation, which would put Nie Shicheng in danger.

Nie Shicheng was very good at it for a while: "No, I want to meet the Cossack cavalry in person, haha!"

Seeing that Nie Shicheng was determined, Feng Guozhang knew that he could not resist Nie Shicheng. During the Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1895, Nie Shicheng liked to take the lead when he was against Japanese general Yama Prefecture Akito, and kept rushing to the front line. At this time, he would certainly not let go of such a great opportunity facing the Cossack cavalry.

Nie Shicheng joked: "Hua Fu, this is the time to test our Western Front Army. Don't let the commander laugh at me!"

"Yes! General!" Feng Guozhang responded with his head down, and immediately ordered the artillery positions to aim the gun at the northern gate of Jingzhou.

Nie Shicheng shouted and said to the front: "Captain Wang, I have always heard that the Gun Lone Wolf Army is the elite of the Southern Army. Today, let me see the power of your ace snipers!"

"Abide by the general's order!" Wang Jianchuan responded respectfully.

"There is also staff officer Zhang Zuolin and Zhang. The commander has always praised the power of armored combat vehicles in front of me. I didn't watch the last battle in the canyon with my own eyes. It's really a pity! I want to see it today too!" Nie Shicheng looked at Zhang Zuolin with a smile.

Zhang Zuolin confidently clasped his fists and said, "I will definitely not disappoint the general!"

Witt led a large number of Cossack cavalry troops to rush out from the north gate of Jingzhou. When his vanguard cavalry troops rushed to the north gate, they were attacked by fierce artillery fire from the southern army.

Raindrop-like shells bloomed in the Cossack cavalry formation. Countless cavalry were torn to pieces by huge explosive forces like autumn wind sweeping away fallen leaves. The blood in the sky turned into raindrops and fell from the sky. The smell of fishy blood in the air made people feel sick and vomited.

The vanguard of the Cossack cavalry who had just rushed out of the north gate was instantly blown away by fierce artillery fire. The broken limbs and broken arms were scattered on the blood-red land. Some war horses fell in the pool of blood and screamed in tragedy. The entire north gate was like a huge meat grinder. Once the Cossack cavalry rushed out, they would be flooded by the artillery fire.

However, the Cossack cavalry was large in number and extremely fierce. The bloody storm aroused the crazy fighting spirit of the Cossack cavalry. Later, more Cossack cavalry rushed out of the north gate in a more fearless manner.

Nie Shicheng, who had been watching the battle from afar, nodded slightly and sighed in his heart: "When did our Southern Army have such always-fierce cavalry! But it's a pity for these Cossack cavalry today!"

After more than ten minutes of fierce fighting, most of the Cossack cavalry rushed out of the north gate with fierce artillery fire. After a little rectification, they turned their horses and rushed straight towards Nie Shicheng.

Although the Cossack cavalry resisted the artillery fire and rushed out of the north gate, there were corpses like hills piled up at the north gate, horse corpses and scattered bodies everywhere. Under this brief confrontation, the Cossack cavalry had already left thousands of corpses.

After Viter rushed out of the north gate, he saw that the city gate was bleeding like a river and corpses piled up like a mountain. He had no time to be sad, so he could only collect the troops again. With a sabre, he led the remaining soldiers to rush towards Nie Shicheng's formation.

However, at this moment, the familiar "tum" sound rang in Vite's ear again. Vite looked in the sound and was shocked. It turned out to be the terrifying army of armored vehicles.

Other Cossack cavalry also stolen the reins and the hooves of this terrible armored vehicle unit gave them a shocking impression. In the battle of the canyon, hundreds of Cossack cavalry were shot into sieve by a fire net composed of Maxim machine guns on eight armored vehicles.

In the eyes of these Cossack cavalry, the armored vehicles were like harvesters of life, and most of the Cossack cavalry were stunned.

Witt knew that time was urgent, and even when facing the armored vehicle troops that had caused him to suffer a great loss, Witt roared angrily: "Roar!"

The Cossack cavalry, who came to their senses, picked up the water-pearl rifles behind them and rushed towards the southern army camp where Nie Shicheng was.

The armored chariot troops rushed into the formation of the Cossack cavalry in a daze in the Cossacks. The eight Maxim machine guns showed their power again. The firepower net composed of bullets was like a scythe of the god of death. After each wave, a large number of Cossack cavalry fell under the horse.

With a loud "Boom!", Witt looked back and suddenly found that the northern city gate made of bluestone in Jingzhou City had collapsed by Krupp's steel cannons. Countless huge rocks rolled down from the city walls, and dozens of Cossack cavalry who could not dodge were instantly crushed into a pile of meat.

Witt was in a state of rupture, and his carefully organized breakthrough operation suddenly failed at this moment. Forty thousand infantry soldiers were trapped in Jingzhou City, and most of his Cossack cavalry had lost at this time.

Seeing this, the situation was irreversible. He decided to take a gamble and lead the remaining troops to break through the blockade of the armored vehicles and rush to the central army of the Southern Army. It would be better to be able to kill Nie Shicheng, which was his only chance to turn the tables.

Witt immediately adopted an extremely tragic way, which was to use a Cossack cavalry to form a human wall, use flesh and blood to block the attack of the armored vehicles, and then summon all the living officers to command all the remaining forces to rush into Nie Shicheng's central army.

"Dada..." The Maxim machine gun on the armored vehicle was constantly harvesting the lives of the Cossack cavalry. Witt had already summoned all the officers and prepared to launch the last attack on Nie Shicheng.

Just as he raised his saber and wanted to order a charge, a gunshot sounded, Witt felt a sudden pain in his chest, and then he stared incredibly at the blood hole in his chest falling from the horse's back.
