Chapter 403 Shelling Nerchinsk City!(1/2)
The city of Nebchu is much larger and stronger than the city of Yaquesa, because it was the first city built after the invasion of the Rakshasa Kingdom.
After decades of operation, the city was very strong and even a moat was dug.
The city has a complete range of facilities, including more than 6,000 Rakshasa soldiers, and there are three or four thousand ordinary Rakshasa people, including the families of Rakshasa officers and soldiers, as well as some guys who come to the East to take adventures.
There were even some prisoners who were exiled from Rakshasa's own country.
In short, there are basically few good people who can come here, most of them are ambitious and outlaws.
In addition, there are thousands of Chinese people who were captured by the Rakshasa people in the city, who are responsible for various errand labor work in the city, and their lives are very miserable.
Moreover, the city has sufficient food, weapons and ammunition, and Vlasov, the governor of Nebchu City, is also a very cruel and cunning guy. It is obviously inappropriate to attack Nebchu City by attacking Yaksa City.
After Li Biao brought the army to the city of Nebuchu, he first ordered the army general Nebuchu to be surrounded and did not rush to launch an attack. Then he summoned Sabusu and other major generals to discuss the capture of Nebuchu.
The way.
After everyone sat down, Li Biao said straight to the point: "Everyone, before I go to war, Your Majesty clearly asked me not to let go of any Rakshasa people. They had only two consequences, either they were shot dead by us or surrendered.
There is absolutely no third type. Therefore, you should understand what I mean by summoning you. Then let me tell you what you think."
When the generals heard this, they couldn't help but feel excited.
Especially Sabusu, who has been fighting with the Rakshasa people over the years, has seen countless soldiers die at the hands of the Rakshasa people, and countless people are harmed by the Rakshasa people. Regarding the hatred of the Rakshasa people, he has no intention of
The deepest feeling.
"General, as long as the general gives orders, I, Sabusu, will not let go of a Rakshasa ghost even if I sacrifice my life."
Sabusu stood up and bowed and said loudly, his chest fluctuating due to excitement.
Li Biao nodded and said, "General Sa and the Rakshasa people have been fighting each other for many years, and they know them the most. Let me tell you what you think first."
Although Li Biao is the head coach, he still respects Sabusu very much. No matter Sabusu's identity as the Eight Banners, he guards the border for the country and fights against foreign enemies for many years.
Sabusu did not refuse, pondered for a moment and said, "General, if you want to annihilate or capture all the Rakshasa people in Nebuchu, in addition to our army's besieging the city, I think you can also dig layers of trenches for use.
Besiege them. We can also construct fortifications with the soil digging the trenches. At the same time, we only need a small number of troops to hold these passages, which will help our soldiers rotate
, ensure the combat effectiveness of our army."
"If the Rakshasa people use artillery to counterattack, our soldiers can hide in fortifications and trenches. If they dare to break out of the city, then these trenches will be their graves. Our army has the advantage of artillery, and as long as they fire, we can fight
When they arrived, they could not hit us. After a few days, the morale of the Rakshasa soldiers in the city would inevitably decline. Without the cover of artillery, their counterattack will drop greatly. By then, it will be time for us to fully attack the city.
.”
Sabusu looked confident, and obviously he had considered it countless times.
Li Biao nodded when he heard this. Sa Busu is worthy of being a veteran and has rich experience. The method he proposed is still very feasible.
A general suddenly said, "But there is a moat blocking the city of Nebchu, how should we cross the moat?"
Sabusu smiled and said, "This is simple, the solution is to trenches. We dig a few more trenches and connect these trenches to the moat, and the water from the moat will be diverted to these trenches. After the water from the moat drys out, , It's much more convenient when we attack the city."
When the general heard this, his eyes lit up and bowed, "General Sa's method is really good. The last general has received the teaching!"
Others also agreed.
If Shen Mo was here, he would probably have been possessed by Husa Busu, are you brother Yunlong possessed? You are very skilled in this local work.
Everyone agreed with the method proposed by Sabusu. Finally, after discussing the details of the operation, Li Biao decided to settle the matter, and Sabusu was personally responsible for implementing the siege strategy.
Vrasov, the Rakshasa governor of Nebchu, saw the Chu army besieged the city. Although he was surprised, he was not panicked.
The targets he had fought against were the Qing army. In recent years, the number of victory and defeats was too low. The scale of Nibuchu City was getting bigger and bigger, the city walls were getting higher and higher, and the number of troops and population was increasing. The Qing army had no way to deal with him. .
So after a long time, I naturally felt contempt for the Qing army.
There were precedents of Qing army besieging the city before, but they were finally repelled and returned in vain.
Although the army this time looks a bit different, I heard that it was sent by the new emperor of China, and it seems to be very powerful.
But Vrasov didn't care much, but thought that it was almost the same as the Chinese, and that no one would be the opponent of their Rakshasa people when they came.
Therefore, he just ordered his subordinates to remain vigilant, but he didn't feel much panic in his heart. He should eat and sleep at night, and also harmed two Chinese women who snatched from nearby villages two days ago and were in a happy mood after stolen from a nearby village. Go to sleep.
The master and generals are like this, and you can imagine what kind of mentality the generals and soldiers under his command will have.
So the next day, the Chu army still did not start siege, but began to dig trenches under the city.
The Rakshasa soldiers on the city were already ready for battle, but after waiting for a long time, the enemy did not attack, and they were a little puzzled. Many people poked their heads out to watch, then pointed at the Chu army below and laughed at them.
"Hahahaha, look at what these guys are doing? Are they really an army?"
"I heard that Chinese farmers are the best at farming. Did the new emperor of China send a group of farmers? Did they regard this place as their field?"
"Maybe you are right. Look at the guys' hands not swords and guns but hoes, obviously they are proving that they are a group of qualified farmers. Oh, God, we are actually surrounded by a group of farmers. This is terrible!"
Immediately afterwards, bursts of laughter sounded from the city wall.
Even in the end, some Luosha soldiers untied their pants and urinated at the city to mock the Chu army, calling it a sprinkle some fertilizer into their fields.
Many Chu soldiers were so angry that their teeth were itchy when they saw this, but the generals had no order. They could only endure their anger and continue digging the trenches. They secretly swear in their hearts that they had broken through the city and wanted to cut off the things that the Rakshasa ghosts urinated and feed them to the dog. Let's see if they can still show off in the future.
Li Biao looked at this scene in the Qianli Mile Mile Mile, with no expression on his face.
The Rakshasa people wanted to use this trick to stimulate him, but it had no effect at all.
Not to mention this, even if the Rakshasa people were escorting a group of captured Chinese people on the city, threatening Li Biao with their lives, he would still remain indifferent.
It’s not that he is cold-blooded and ruthless, but that he is a soldier. The commander of the army must always remain calm and not be disturbed by the enemy’s actions.
If you are agitated, you will never be able to become a qualified general.
Vlasov was also observing with a telescope on the top of the city. The provocative actions made by his soldiers were indeed acquiesced or instructed.
It's just to test the character of the Chu army commander.
This kind of small method is also part of the game between the two sides on the battlefield and is indispensable.
If used well, sometimes it can produce unimaginable benefits.
Seeing that the Chu army under the city did not respond to its provocation, Vlasov's evaluation of the Chu army's commander immediately became higher and his mood became more serious.
A calm person is often harder to deal with than a reckless man who is easily excited.
Moreover, looking at the busy Chu army under the city, he probably guessed the enemy's intentions.
"It seems that these Chinese farmers are planning to surround us with trenches. I have to say that this is a stupid and naive idea. But we need to respond to their stupid ideas. Let the artillery fire, welcome these farmers.
.”
Vlasov smiled contemptuously and ordered the fire.
At this time, behind the Chu army's position, gun barrels had been raised, and black guns were facing the sky, as if waiting for the eruption of the interweaving of steel and flames.
"How are you prepared?" Li Biao asked the commander of the artillery regiment.
"Reporting to the general, according to the explanation of the Rakshasa man named Merinik, he has calibrated the main military targets in the city, especially the location of the Rakshasa artillery, and can shoot at any time. In addition, we still have to stay.
Fifty cannons are used as mobile firepower to deal with targets that are not within the marking range.”
The commander of the artillery regiment replied loudly.
Li Biao nodded and said, "It's done well, the Rakshasa people should be bombarding our troops digging the trenches soon. As soon as they fire, I want you to strike back in the shortest time to expose them.
All the cannons were knocked out. If the Rakshasa man provided too many information errors, then kill him."
"The last general is obeying the general's order!" The commander of the artillery regiment took the order loudly, and soon returned to the artillery position and checked the preparations before the artillery bombardment again.
Soon, a loud bang sounded from the city, and dozens of artillery shells crossed the sky and fell towards the Chu army's positions outside the city.
The Chu soldiers were experienced and the generals received Li Biao's instructions. When they heard the sound of cannons, they immediately ordered them to evacuate and fall down.
This round of artillery did not cause much substantial losses to the Chu army. After all, the Chu army can be said to be the army with the largest number of artillery equipment in the world today.
With the new artillery, the Chu army's siege model became very simple, which was to bombard the cannons simply and roughly, and then wait until the city gate or wall collapsed, the infantry charged and then ended the battle.
The soldiers of the Chu army have already relied on artillery.
Because the cannon is so easy to use.
Because of this, they also know more about the power of artillery, so they know better how to prevent artillery and avoid artillery fire, and how to effectively reduce casualties caused by artillery bombardment.
The first round of shooting of the Rakshasa cannon was just over. When Vlasov was still using a telescope to observe how the farmers in his mouth were in a mess, a series of roars suddenly sounded in the distance, followed by waves of howling sounds.
Resounds through the sky.
This whistling sound is very familiar to Vrasov, but it is a little sharper than what he heard before.
Vlasov's face changed, and he hurriedly squatted down and hid behind the wall.
The Luosha soldiers on the top of the city who were provoking the Chu army were also hurriedly looking for a place to hide. Although they were arrogant, they still had a lot of combat experience and knew when to do what.
After all, most of them are veterans, and they can be called the elite among the Rakshasa soldiers.
The whistling sounds from far to near, hundreds of shells landed on the top of the city and dozens of places in the middle of the city at almost the same time. The loud explosions continued to sound, and the city and the city suddenly turned into a sea of fire.
The shells loaded with smokeless gunpowder burst out with great power, causing serious damage in just a moment.
The entire city of Nebchu was filled with panic, and screams and crying sounded.
Vlasov looked at the flames rising in the distance, his big furry face full of shock.
