How many troops did China and Russia invest in the Battle of Yaksa?

For the first time, the Qing army invested 3,000 people.

These include regular troops and local militias, and hunters.

The Russian army had more than 130 armed Cossacks, and the rest involved two to three hundred businessmen and civilians.

The total strength of the Russian army is more than 400 people.

For the second time, the Qing army invested more than 2,000 regular troops.

There are more than 800 Russian troops. It seems that there are no ordinary people this time, they are all soldiers.

There is a problem involved here: that is, "registered Cossacks" are considered regular troops, and "unregistered Cossacks" are not ordinary people who have no power to restrain themselves.

Those who have a little knowledge of the history of Europe, especially Eastern Europe, also know that the anti-Polish uprising in Eastern Ukraine led by Khmelnisky was attended by "unregistered Cossacks" - ordinary people in name, but in fact

soldiers.

The "registered Cossacks" were originally part of the regular army of Poland, and later the two groups of Cossacks merged.

Russia is the same as Poland. "Registered Cossacks" are regular troops, and "unregistered Cossacks" are not good.

Some military and historical illiterates who do not understand European medieval history use the Cossack musket equipment rate to evaluate the firearm equipment rate of the Russian and Qing armies. They believe that the Russian army's equipment is better than that of the Qing army. In fact, this is all nonsense.

Blind point of view.

The most striking feature of Cossack combat is the extremely high rate of musket equipment.

In addition to the famous "regular Cossack cavalry", the real Cossack army in history actually has infantry as the main force of "unregistered Cossacks".

In field battles, they were good at using four-wheeled carts to form camps in a circle, and using all-firearms troops to fight against Polish cavalry.

He is also good at building wooden bastions, which are very strong, easy to defend and difficult to attack.

Cossacks actually look like this!

Cossacks and regular Cossack cavalry are ignorant of the military and history. Please go watch the Polish movie "Fire and Sword" to understand how the Cossacks fought!

The Qing army in the 17th century actually looked like this!

The Central Asian muskets of the Qing army in the Battle of Ulan Butong. The Qing army in the 17th and 18th centuries. Before the Qing army entered the customs, they even had musketeers and cavalry. I asked who gave the military blind people the confidence and said that the Qing army still used broadswords and spears.

Are you fighting for the Lord?

Your musketeers in the 17th century did not need the protection of cold weapons and did not fight with cold weapons?

Do you think they have Maxim, M416 or M1A2?

The Heilongjiang side is dominated by border guards, so logistics and transportation are difficult.

If the main force really leaves, gunpowder alone will not be supplied.

The Russian army in the 17th century actually looked like this!

The 17th century Russian armored spearman is a typical 17th century Russian officer and infantry musketeer with a unique half-length axe. It is the most powerful musketeer in Europe (mainly when facing too many cavalry, one or two shots will kill it)

It's going to be close combat), you can cut off the heads of the blind soldiers!

It is actually easy to take off the military blindness. Play "Mount and Blade", and you will not say silly things like Maozi relies on muskets to fight wars!

The typical weapon of the Russian army in the mid-16th century was the Pichot matchlock, which weighed approximately 13 to 18 pounds and had a caliber of 14 to 18 mm.

According to Colonel Alexander Craft's estimate in 1653, each soldier needed to carry about one pound of ammunition to shoot 12 times in a row. This pound of ammunition was enough for soldiers to conduct shooting training three times a week.

Based on this calculation, 8,700 soldiers would need 3.5 tons of gunpowder, 1.5 tons of match rope and 35.5 tons of lead bullets every week.

This is only the cost in peacetime, and it is even more serious when it goes to the battlefield. It is said that such a unit will consume 1,763 pounds of gunpowder for three to four volleys. For four legions, it will probably require a week's worth of gunpowder for the entire army.

quantity.

Therefore, the enemy's gunpowder consumption is high, and the siege prevents them from replenishing it. This is a very correct strategy.

Tsar Alexei Mihailovich mentioned how these guns were used in a letter to Zhuri Dogruky of Voevoda in October 1660: "In the 20th Sagin (

SAJEN) Shooting at a distance is disruptive shooting. The best shooting location is 5 to 3 SAJEN. Pay attention to lowering the gun body when shooting to avoid shooting upward due to recoil. "(SAJEN, SAJEN,

Russian unit of length, one Sarkin = three ARSHIN = 6 feet 11 inches = 2.1 meters) 3 to 5 Sarkin means 6-10 meters away.

This is what military blind people call "advanced weapons"!

In fact, these muskets were of no use in the field without the protection of spearmen, wagon trains, or wooden bastions.

Russian Mao huddled in a wooden bastion that was easy to defend but difficult to attack, so that it could compete with the Qing army.

Here comes the second question: Bastion!

But anyone who has some military knowledge knows that the "bastion" came into being after the emergence of artillery. It is specially designed to deal with siege artillery, using the crossfire of our own firearms to eliminate the enemy's effective forces.

In the 16th and 17th centuries, this thing was still a relatively unsolvable existence.
