Truqin Guards Camp.

Watchtower.

Forty-year-old Kang Xiaozi stood on it, holding up a telescope and looking carefully.

"The enemy's last power should be all placed in the first and second trenches. With the virtue of Peter III, he will never cast all his remaining power"

"The first trench is only one and a half miles away from the third trench of our army. It is all within the strike range of our army. In order to watch the battle nearby, the remaining Russian troops also came out from the camps in a large number. The nearest one is also three and a half miles, and it is still within the strike range of our army's field cannons"

Turn the telescope to Rostov.

"For more than a month, the enemy troops in the city have never thought of coming out to attack our army with friendly troops outside the city. Although they are four miles away and beyond the attack range of artillery on the city, they obviously do not have the intention."

"When the last wave of enemy forces begins to attack, the enemy in the city should also come out, because if the enemies outside the city are defeated, they will be an isolated city and have no chance to defend it at all, and now they are their only chance"

He walked slowly down and walked towards Lao Zhang Zabu.

"Captain, wait until the artillery fire is ready, let the vocational department lead a division of cavalry out to fight"

"No, this is just one of the main battlefields between our country and the Russian army. If Peter III died in battle or was captured by our army, it will not be beneficial to our army"

"Why? If Peter III is taken down, you can force the enemy troops from other areas to surrender or retreat"

"This is an order!"

When he heard the word "order", Lao Zhangzabu had to shut up.

....

Each division of the Guards of Qitade has two artillery battalions. In addition to sixty various field cannons, there are also many mortars and short-barrel artillery. At the best angle of 45 degrees, they can also hit a mile away!

The best range of cannons is three and a half miles.

"Command"

Kang Xiaozi ignored Lao Zhangzabu. This was unimaginable in the past. In the eyes of ordinary people, he was gentle by nature and only used to balance big names like Chu Huer, Tichina, and Su Wenyu. Even if there is a war, he would probably be directed by Qitade himself. He was just doing it because of his own.

As for the two division commanders under him, although Bater is Yamankara's younger brother, he is young and has little experience, so he will naturally listen to him. However, Sheling's younger brother Lao Zhangzabu has always been arrogant and has always been rude to him. When there are disputes, Kang Xiaozi always takes the initiative to avoid him.

This made him have a "weak" label in the Guards.

But today he ignored Lao Zhangzabu's nagging.

What's even more strange is that if it were in the past, Lao Zhangzabu would have continued to chatter, but today he obediently pulled back.

Kang Xiaozi continued: "Order the artillery battalions in three directions and all short-barrel artillery, the mortars will start bombarding, the short-barrel artillery, the mortars will aim at the second trench and its nearby enemies, and the cannons will aim at the first trench and the enemies watching the battle behind!"

"Don't stop halfway through each casting. After five rounds, start cooling the first third artillery. After eight rounds, cool down the second third artillery"

"The last batch of artillery starts to stop after the tenth round of shooting, and then repeats over and over again, and all ammunition of the two bases"

"Yes"

The bombardment of artillery has begun.

It is already afternoon now. Due to the battle ahead, the battlefield was filled with smoke. The originally gloomy weather made it even more intense. With the same strong smell of blood, ordinary people can't stay here for a short time.

"Boom..."

"Boom..."

"Boom..."

“…….”

If war is a grand symphony, then artillery fire is the strongest drum beats accompanied by a large number of cellos!

Artillery fire determines the direction of war and is the essence of this solemn, grand and gorgeous symphony.

In fact, Truqin's army had only three base ammunition left, and Kang Xiaozi actually used two of them in one go!

The artillery fire has been "preparing" for an hour.

When one hundred and eighty cannons in three directions were mixed with a large number of short-barrel cannons and the mortars roared together, the area with dozens of miles in the center of Rostov City trembled, and even the large number of vultures flying high in the sky following the smell of blood were scared without a trace.

This is what Qitad calls saturation coverage, but it also requires the enemy to actively cooperate. By chance, the Russian army became their perfect test target.

After an hour, the color of heaven and earth changed.

The black soil within four miles of the front of the third trench has become a huge farm that has just been turned over by a giant iron plow. There are holes everywhere, and there are uneven thicknesses everywhere, and fresh black soil just turned out from the ground.

Kang Xiaozi guessed it well, and the local division in the city also came out, but they were facing a dense firepower net of Truqin's short-barrel artillery, mortars, grenades, and three consecutive rifles. Although it seemed that the external battlefield was not as shocking and lively as it could run to the front in one go, the cruelty of death was not small at all.

The horn of the counterattack sounded, and the infantry of the three brigades, carrying bayonets, jumped out of the third trench with two or three grenades in their waists, and rushed towards the bumpy black soil in front.

He did not let Lao Zhang Zabu be idle either. This time he asked him to follow the infantry with three brigades of cavalry, but his orders still lingered in Lao Zhang Zabu's ears.

"Remember, letting you attack is not to kill or capture Peter III, but to cover the attack of the infantry. The enemy now has no artillery. The rest is probably only Peter III's cavalry and hunters. In order to prevent them from suddenly launching a cover to kill the infantry in our country, you will let you follow."

Although Lao Zhangzabu was a little unhappy, he still followed the infantry with a division of cavalry. Of course, on such a battlefield, it was impossible for his cavalry to conduct a raid. He could only follow the infantry slowly and pay attention to the pits everywhere at any time.

When night falls, the battle is over, or it is over.

Kang Xiaozi’s big account.

"General"

Bartel is reporting to him.

"In the preparation of artillery fire in the daytime, the three ordinary brigades of the enemy suddenly became almost wiped out, and in the end less than one regiment was captured by our army"

"Then the Tsar Guards of the three major brigades in the second trench and the Tsar Guards of the three major brigades in the third trench suffered heavy losses in the intensive bombing of our country. One hour of artillery fire made half of their soldiers lose their combat effectiveness"

"At least one of the remaining three brigades who watched the battle later was affected, but they retreated very quickly"

"When our army jumped out of the trench to fight back, at least half of the remaining combat-capable soldiers were stunned in the local area, and the remaining half were disbanded and disrupted. Due to the losses of a large number of middle and low-level officers, they could only fight for their own battles"

"It's a pity that they only have a slow-loading flintlock rifle and some grenades in their hands, but these people caused about one regiment of casualties to our army. In addition, the casualties over the past month, our army lost a total of two regiments in this Battle of Rostov"

"About half of the people who died in battle and seriously injured were mostly minor injuries. After recovering from the injury, they may continue to join the army or be discharged from the army and enter the grassroots official team in various places."

"When our army rushed out of the trench, Peter III ran away. According to the interrogation of the prisoners, there were about two brigades of horse and infantry troops around him at that time, and a battalion of hunters."

"Is there any more?"

"Also, when the commander of Rostov was killed by artillery shells when he left the city to fight our army, he was probably the one who gave him a death order. The local army of a division would rather die than retreat, and most of them were casualties. After returning to the city, he saw Peter III running away, so he opened the city gate and prayed to us for surrender."

"In addition, the specific situation of our country's naval battle in Taganrog Bay in the Sea of ​​Azov has also been reported"

"In that battle, our country won a great victory, and eventually, with only one Saiyin, one Batulu, and two Tengis, wiped out the thirty unformed steam warships that the Russians had worked hard to build for five years"

Kang Xiaozi nodded, and he looked outside.

"Where is Lao Zhang Zabu?"

"He wanted to go out and pursue Peter III, but fortunately he was persuaded by his subordinates"

"Also, Chief Deng Ce has heard news that the Russian ally Polotsk Army has arrived in the Lugansk area, where is the direction for Peter III to escape"

Kang Xiaozi nodded, he walked out of the big tent, and then walked towards the big tent full of white treasures.

That big tent belongs to Qitad, and he used to be...

I saw him slowly coming to the big tent, kneeling down and bowing a few times, then lifting the curtain and walking in!

There was a huge coffin inside, and there was a person kneeling in front of the coffin. It was Harach, the leader of the Guards of Qitad.

There was actually another person in the corner of the tent, Ados, the Frenchman who assassinated Quitad that day!

Athos was tied up, but his face was normal, as if he had already seen everything.

"Cruff..."

Suddenly, the top cover of the coffin slowly opened!

This scene is really weird, but neither Kang Xiaozi, Haraqi nor Athos in the distance have been ignored.

A man appeared from the coffin.

It's Quitad!

I saw that he looked like a little bit. It was probably because the ventilation in the coffin was not smooth, which made his cheeks look a little red.

Qitade sat upright in the middle of the coffin, nodded at Kang Xiaozi, and then looked at Athos.

Athos's voice was still calm and calm, "You can say it now"

It seems that he is interrogating Qitade, the scene is very strange.

Qitad nodded.

“Yes, time is up”

"Was it already your expectations when I was assassinated?"

"That's natural. Our country has the most complete and efficient intelligence agency in the world. How can we easily fall for you?"

He clapped his hands as he said that.

Another person came in from outside, it turned out to be Omubu!

"Ombu, let's talk about it"
Chapter completed!
