continued from the previous post...
The Land Militia start to withdraw to the other side of the river ...
The muddle as units queue up to pass through Minsonda to cross the river, with some units deployed to face a potential attack...
The fusiliers occupy the defences (replacing the Land Militia)
The defence line finally sorted, cavalry on one flank, infantry and artillery the other
The rearguard is spotted moving slowly toward Minsonda in a marching square covered by cavalry on the flanks....
It suddenly halts and deploys, with the cavalry turning to defend themselves ..
against a swarm of Tatars heading their way ....
they avoid the square, some firing their bows and engage the Wittenberg light cavalry...
the cavalry give ground and the Tatars move past them ....
as they try and go round to outflank the light cavalry they come in range of the infantry and artillery .....
Tatar archers ride round the square, some of the pandours and grenadiers are hit...
The Tatars get too close to the Wittenberg troops, they are blasted by cannister and a volley from the infantry....
not liking the hot lead at all, this lot of Tatars beat a hasty retreat ...
the Rutenian light cavalry tussle with the rest of the Tatars...
Rutenian light cavalry beat off the Tatars they were fighting who make a run for it ...
As the Dragoons move up...Count Boritzy and some of the remaining Rutenian light cavalry make a dash for safety...
their opponents, the rest of the Tatars fall back - getting a volley from the square as they pass by to retreat and join up with the rest of the Tatars who are routing ...
to be continued...
