Chapter 80 Yaike Fengyun (7) "Treasure"
Su Wenyu personally led a battalion to attack one of the hills.
There were thirty cannons in one battalion, three of which weighed 200 kilograms. After firing, he asked someone to load all the three 200 kilograms with grenades and start bombarding one hillside.
The remaining 20 100-pound cannons were all loaded with solid bullets and attacked the camp at the top of the mountain.
After the five-wheel grenade, he personally rushed up with a new firearm with a shield. When charging, the person holding the shield was at the forefront, and the Guest who was holding the bayonet Minnie gun was often covered with lead bullets. Most of the hills were only more than 100 meters high and soon approached the top of the hill!
The Kazakhs on the mountain were not completely prepared. They also had wood sawed out in advance. However, under the attack of artillery and muskets, they rarely had the opportunity to show their heads and throw down the wood, and the occasional thrown down did not have much impact on the company.
After throwing a spoil of grenades, Su Wenyu jumped into the trench on the top of the mountain with a Minni gun!
After knocking down a Kazakh tribal cavalry who was rushing over with a bayonet, many of the company's people had already come up.
According to the previous plan, if the enemy is to be eliminated as soon as possible, the effect of using a rotary pistol will definitely be better than that of a bayonet, but Su Wenyu still insists on using a bayonet.
Their stinging technique they trained under Qitad himself has not been tested on the battlefield since they mastered it. Of course, a small number of people still hold rotating pistols.
No surprises, they quickly occupied a trench!
However, there are still many enemies on the top of the mountain. They easily broke through the trench and immediately rushed over!
Su Wenyu quickly threw the spear down, then quickly took out the rotating pistol, and shot at the cavalry that was rushing towards him.
For a moment, muskets were loud and most of the war horses were shot down on the spot, but some war horses still broke into the trench and brought down many soldiers!
Fortunately, there were multiple revolving pistols. After shooting down several groups of cavalry in succession, they immediately became empty in front of them!
Such a war situation was never encountered by the Kazakhs. In fact, if they were brave enough to kill some cavalry, they might still drive Su Wenyu and the others down the mountain. However, with another batch of grenades thrown over, in horror, all the remaining Kazakh cavalry on the mountain surrendered.
Such a battle situation was almost performed on the other five hills at the same time. In less than half a day, Su Wenyu's six dragon cavalry battalions captured six hills at a relatively small price!
When Su Wenyu and the others rushed to the top of the mountain easily, Nur Ali Khan and others who were watching with a telescope in Culisari City knew that the situation was hopeless. If they watched from the wall again, the outcome would be very miserable.
"We started out with cavalry, so we might as well gather our troops to fight the decisive battle with the hateful Turguts!"
Nur Ali Khan adopted the opinion of his brother, the only real Sultan Yelare, Xiao Yuz. There were still seven thousand cavalrymen in the city. He left only two thousand cavalry guards and rushed out with five thousand cavalry!
After seeing Techina at the foot of the mountain, he quickly blew the horn to gather the cavalry, but it was too late at this time, and Nur Ali Khan's cavalry had rushed out of a gate!
Since they charged from top to bottom, even if there was a rotating pistol in his hand, it would be impossible for him to wait foolishly at the foot of the mountain. So he issued another order to disperse around to avoid his sharp edge.
But Nur Ali Khan's cavalry was too fast, and in the end, the cavalry of the six battalions of Techi fled in front and chased them separately!
Qitad was dispatched, and at this time he still had a thousand Hussars and a hundred personal soldiers. Because they were far away from the city of Culisari, they had the opportunity to face the enemy.
He brought six hundred cavalry forward to meet the enemy, and the other five hundred cavalry met another team of enemy cavalry. After passing the hussars who were still running, he faced the enemy in front.
After a "bang" sound, his six hundred cavalry passed through the enemy again. However, this time the enemy's death seemed to be beyond his imagination. Although there was a rotating pistol in his hand, there were still 40 or 50 damages after passing through!
However, the situation is critical now, and he didn't care about this anymore and immediately rushed towards the flank of another team of cavalry.
Just as his two teams of cavalry blocked the enemy's charge, the two battalions of Hussars who were being chased finally freed up. They quickly turned their horses and rushed towards the enemy cavalry that were still chasing several cavalry battalions!
The battle was more difficult than expected. The battle was not over until dusk. When all the troops gathered at the foot of the mountain again, the Truchen cavalry suffered as much as five hundred!
Most of them are injured and fall off the horse when they are chased by the enemy.
But they were not without gains. In this battle, they not only captured Nur Ali Khan, but also killed several of his younger brothers and sons.
With Nur Ali Khan in hand, the left-behind soldiers in Kulisaray City were shaken. When night fell, they finally put down their weapons.
At this time, Ivanovic finally arrived excitedly.
Along the way, he was still in shock. Although he thought that the Truchens with superior firearms could take down the city of Culisari, they did what he didn't expect in one day!
Therefore, the excitement about wealth also has a complex expression.
However, Chitard obviously broke his promise.
Before opening the basement, he killed all the prisoners of centurion and above, including Nur Ali Khan!
"What are you doing?!"
Ivanovic was shocked and pointed at Qitad in a daze.
Qitad smiled and said, "Kill Nur Ali Khan, and you will find a new Khan who has completely converted to Orthodox Church among his descendants of Orenburg. It will be easier to control the ministry."
In fact, his inner plan was, "On the grassland, only power is the only truth. The Mongols in the past were able to establish a huge Khanate. This was the point that they could destroy Nur Ali Khan, and the next Xiao Yuz will definitely be divided."
"They already have two major alliances, and there are several tribes within the alliance, so it is not easy to gather together easily."
Of course, he would not be able to imagine using Datov to summon all the nobles in the tribe in the Khitan Alliance and kill them all. His infamy had already been passed on to the Zeduer Alliance. It would definitely not work if he wanted to use Nur Ali Khan to do the same.
To completely conquer the Zeduer Alliance, it will take a long process, and it will be nice to complete it before winter comes.
During this period, he needed to avoid the herders of the alliance from running to Zhongyuzi, Dayuzi.
In order to appease Ivanovic, he quickly opened the basement.
The entrance to the basement is right in the large tent of Nur Ali Khan. After uncovering a heavy oak board, a strong smell of musty smell came to your face.
Qitad held down Ivanovic who was about to fly down.
"Slowly, you're destined to die, wait until the musty smell is gone before going down"
After about half an hour, Ivanovic, who had been scratching his head, finally couldn't hold back. He lit a torch and walked down the stone steps.
What appeared in front of them was an empty space.
There are stone walls all around, there are several stone pillars in the middle, and wooden boards are covered with them. There are many oil lamps around Shibi Mountain, and there are also a lot of lamp oil in it.
Qitade picked up a lamp and sniffed it carefully, and a smile finally appeared on his face.
"Like Atlas near the city of Culissare, there are many natural oil lakes with exposed ground, some are oil and some are natural asphalt. As long as people who live nearby for a long time are not stupid, they can get good lamp oil after a little treatment of the oil."
"And those natural asphalts are priceless treasures. After roughly refining them, they can be made into asphalt glue with the best sealing performance at this time, and can also pave roads, brush boats, and make oil felts"
"Only with this thing, it is possible to make steam engines and build large quantities of ships"
"As the saying goes, there is natural asphalt in the north and rubber in the south. The ancients really didn't bully me"
At this time, Ivanovic was rushing around like a headless fly, and kept saying "My treasure, my treasure."
Qitade ignored him and continued to observe. Finally, he found that the stone pillar in the middle of the basement was a little strange.
In addition to this, other stone pillars are made of white square stones. The joints are all made of asphalt as adhesive without exception. Only the center is round, and some patterns are drawn on them with various paints.
After careful examination, Qitade finally understood.
"This is a totem pole. The sky is painted in blue at the top, representing the god of heaven, the earth is painted in yellow at the bottom, representing the god of earth, and in the middle are mountains, rivers, birch, tiger, big snake, wild wolf, black bear and other beasts"
"I didn't expect that the Zeduer Alliance, which has converted to the Islamic religion, still retains the shamanic tradition."
After seeing the totem pole, he walked to an oil lamp and saw a figure painted on the stone wall. It looked like he should be a Kazakh aristocrat.
Gently tapping the stone wall, I finally touched a hollow place.
After taking off the stone slab, something suddenly appeared!
A character made of gold that is exactly the same as on the stone wall!
Just as I was about to take out the golden statue, a big hand had already taken it away before him. I must have been Ivanovic.
Qitade did not stop him, picked up the oil lamp and looked carefully inside the stone niche.
After a while, he finally understood.
"It turns out that this is a place dedicated to Xiao Yuzi Da Khan and Zhong Gen of all dynasties. I can't get involved in such things"
(Zhong Gen, the Mongolian tribe's name for princes, nobles and wives)
In the end, he asked Ivanovic to take away all ten statues, not even one of them left behind.
Ten golden statues, each with at least ten kilograms, that is one hundred taels. They can cast three hundred gold rubles, and ten gold rubles are three thousand gold rubles worth 30,000 silver rubles.
Although Ivanovic is a lieutenant-colon brigade commander, he earns up to thirty golden rubles every year, which means he earns a hundred years of income at one time!
The statues were taken away by the Cossacks, and the people of Qitad were all empty-handed, which was all in the eyes of the Cossack prisoners.
Chapter completed!
