Orenburg, a white castle.

The city walls, most of the buildings in the city are made of white marble. If it were not for the red spire of the Kremlin exposed in the sky, ordinary people would not be able to find her.

The only regular army in the city, Davidov's division had already left the city and went east to chase and suppress the rebels. After Pugachev's attack, a large number of Cossacks and herdsmen responded, and the Cossack cavalry, which was previously highly valued.

Also excluded from the castle guarding power.

This made Reinstealp, a senior official in Orenburg, very worried.

But he is not completely unreliable.

In the past, Karatay, the youngest son of Xiaoyuz Khan Nur Ali, was still in the city, and he had been studying and growing up in the Russian way. Now he is only twenty-one years old and has been named a major general, with three

The remaining troops of Qian Xiaoyuzzzeduer Alliance are guarding the city for him.

The Jedul Alliance was destroyed in the hands of the Truchens, which made Reinsdorp feel a little relieved. However, it is not safe to just put your destiny on the Kazakhs, and he drew from the city to own it.

The musket residents are 2,000, and there are 5,000 people in total. They can barely defend this beautiful white castle.

Although Davedov left, he left some artillery soldiers. The city walls of Orenburg were covered with various types of artillery, and the walls were high and strong. If the Truchens were crazy, they wanted to take advantage of Davedov's.

It will cost a huge price to leave and seize her.

Reinstealp stood tremblingly at the head of Orenburg, thinking in his heart.

Also, there are a series of castles in the lower reaches of the Ural River. Even if the Truchens want to attack here, they have to consider it.

Thinking of this, Reinstealp finally settled down completely and left the city wall.

....

About fifty miles from Orenburg, an army appeared and disappeared in the snow.

This is a complete white army, white cape, white robe, white hat, sledding in hand.

In a valley with leewards, the army stopped.

The soldiers took off their cloaks and put them on the snow. After sitting down, they ate a handful of fried noodles and a handful of snow.

At the end of the valley, two people were doing the same movements, but they had one more thing in their hands - a wine pot!

I saw that one was Qitad's brother-in-law Yamankara, and the other was Omubu who had been transferred back from the Far East!

After eating, they started chatting softly.

"Russian Mubu"

"Yes"

"Did you say that really happen?"

"I am not sure, but this person is a poor herder in the Xiaoyuzzedour League. Because of his bravery, he was appointed as the commander of the thousand-man sir by Reinsteul and Karatai. Since its establishment, our country has not yet been established.

Intermittent penetration of Orenburg, this person is one of the key figures”

"If it weren't for Pugachev's rebellion, I wouldn't be sure of this person, but since Pugachev's uprising, even the always-reputable Cossacks have been abandoned by the Russians. I believe this person would not be unhappy.

"

"Does this person have any relatives died in the war between our country and the Zeduer Alliance?"

"Of course there are, but they are not immediate relatives. It has been over the years. How are the herdsmen in our country living, especially the pastors in the Zeduer League living, don't he know?"

p>

"If they live well, why should they rebel?"

"But I heard that Karatai had already named him Baiyi and promised to become a Bian official after the matter was accomplished. This is a great temptation among the Kazakhs"

"Yes, so I can't guarantee that he will definitely help us. He has been living in the pastoral areas of Russians over the years, and he is used to the same thing as before. Perhaps he has a stronger expectation for Bayi than that. Maybe he may have a stronger expectation than that.

"

"Forget it," Yamankara nodded, "We have a mortar, a powerful weapon that can attack upwards. There are a large number of folding ladders on the sled behind. If it really doesn't work, just attack hard."

"No," Ombu shook his head, "Russian artillery is not comparable to that of the Ottomans. They also have grenades, shotgun cannons, and large caliber, and there are grenades. Our mortars must not be close to bombardment.

If that were the case, there would definitely be a lot of casualties”

"Then wait for the army behind, they have field cannons in their hands"

"Let's take a look"

It turned out that at this time Yamankara was already a senior official in the Aktobi Province and the commander of the Aktobi Division. This time, after receiving the news that the only regular division in Orenburg had left, he immediately went out, because Ombu believed that

It is possible to use the Russians to open the city gate, so he personally brought the First Brigade with a sled to the sled.

....

Orenburg.

In fact, there is a cavalry team in the city.

Ivanovic, the leader of the Cossacks of Orsk, was the man who got the underground statue of Culisari. After he got the statue, he immediately bought land in Russia and started a business, but he obviously did not do business.

All the materials were compensated soon.

Pugachev also contacted him after the uprising, but he obviously ignored it.

But his life was not easy, and his men were attracted by Pugachev. This situation made Reinstorp unable to believe him, so he did not give him the opportunity to gather the nearby Cossacks.

He only had one hundred standing troops around him, but he was not reused by Reinsteul.

Since these hundred people are all over the ten-husband (the village chief of Cossack village) and they are all good, they obviously will not be easily pulled away by Pugachev. Although Reinstorp does not trust him,

Didn't drive him out of the city either.

Before Davidov left, he left a cavalry company. Even if Ivanovic wanted to cause trouble, this cavalry company would be enough to suppress it.

The walls of Orenburg have been operated by the Golden Horde and Astrakokan countries for two generations. They are very tall and strong. In addition, there are artillery on the city and heavy snow is filled with Davidov, who will leave with confidence.

In the telescope, when seeing this tall castle that was almost integrated with the snow fields around, Yamankara's eyes also frozen.

However, although sending troops in winter is not the norm for other European countries, it is the norm for the Russians. In winter, all the waters on both sides of the Ural Mountain are frozen and solid, and military supplies can also be pulled by reindeer and horses.

Large sled walking is actually more convenient than cold.

Of course, it is obviously not possible to have the first snow that will be muddy soon after walking up.

All the Russians want is heavy snow to block the mountain.

After a while, Yamankara said to Omubu: "It seems that we can only wait for the main force to arrive"

Omubu originally wanted to say something, but he nodded.

Yamankara said, "Since you are here, you can't hide your head and tail. If the people in the city you contacted will not take action without seeing our army, you will take action only if you are under pressure."

Omubu said: "But if this is the case, the people from Orenburg will definitely go out of the city to inform others and tell me the news of the arrival of the army."

Yamankara looked at the sky, "Who can they tell? Should Davidov withdraw from the middle? It is impossible, although our danger is far greater than Pugachev, Davidov has crossed the Ural Mountains,

It is definitely not cost-effective to turn it back in such heavy snow”

"Also, they can only inform the people of Chalijin, how can Chalijin come here if they don't get here? Also, if the Chalijin front army moves, General Chu Huer's Elista front army will also start to move.

Both of us are actually clear cards, what are we afraid of?”

So, he took the First Brigade to cross the Ural River and appeared about five miles away near the south gate of Orenburg.

"Dangdang..."

"Woo..."

Sure enough, the defenders on the city wall immediately rang the warning bells and yells after seeing Truqin's army.

Yamankara ignored them and chose a place to start building a camp.

In such cold weather, it is natural that we cannot use soil to fill the straw bags, so we can only put snow blocks inside and then build a camp that can accommodate a division.

The Yamankara brigade came at noon and at sunset, and the other two brigades arrived. The method they used was similar to that of the Russians. They used more than a dozen strong pack horses to walk in front one after another, and then carried them behind them.

Two brigades of cannons in field.

At this time, the configuration of the artillery of Truchen's army was: a brigade had a battalion of artillery, including ten field artillery and several mortars, and each infantry company had several mortars.

Seeing that the Russians did not go out of the city to harass them to set up camps, Yamankara discussed with the other two brigade commanders how to set up artillery positions.

"Teacher Commander, there is only one regular division in the city, Davydov. Once he left, there were only militia and tribal cavalry in the city. There were many artillery artillery on the top of the city, and there were probably artillery soldiers left."

"The Russian artillery setting was completely imitated by the powerful European countries. The field cannons can only hit about three miles at most. Moreover, it is still snowing now. After the solid artillery shells fall to the ground, there is nothing else except diving in.

Rebounding again will cause harm to us”

"Their howitzers and howitzers use the original design of layer-loading gunpowder, which is very poor in sealing and cannot be hit much farther. The 15-kilogram and 12-centimeter field guns in our country can hit three and a half miles"<

/p>

"Our goal is to clear the city. It is better to set up artillery positions around 1,800 meters. In this way, you only need to adjust the elevation angle of the artillery to hit it, without moving the artillery position back and forth. Now it is frozen below the snow layer.

It must be stiff, it is very difficult to arrange a cannon position”

"I guess the grenades on the city can only hit two miles away, which is not a threat to our artillery"

This person is a general from an artillery. Yamankara nodded after hearing this, "Just do it like this"

Just at sunset, under the shaking sunset, the earth became colder. After the Truqin artillery set up its positions, they began to fire. Their artillery was equipped with guns and meters, and they fired three times.

After the turn, the position was determined.

During this period, the artillery on the city also rang one after another, stronger than the brigade commander said. A solid shell closest to the position fell two hundred meters in front of them.

They also saw the grenade shots that exploded in mid-air, but they were at least one mile away, so there was no need to worry about it.

Truchen's artillery adopts a striker-type and hair-pull structure, and the shells and ammunition are integrated, with excellent airtightness. As long as the weight and drug are the same, various shells can be sent to the same distance.
