Chapter 511 Ah, great powers! But, they seem to be too strong! (please order, vote)
The rainy night in Avacha Bay was as dark as ink. The raindrops were swept by the strong wind from the Pacific Ocean and hit the earth like a shotgun. The ground, which was originally in the pulp-turning period, turned into muddy under the soaking rain.
Every time Zong Tang pulled up his cowhide boots, he brought out the sound of "gurgling" water. He stopped on the newly built lookout and watched his soldiers lay bamboo fences transported from Japan in the mud.
It is Zuo Zongtang’s own magic method to deal with the mud. As long as he lays a few more layers, his soldiers can walk vigorously in the mud.
"Report to the Grand Commander, the Russian cavalry is less than fifteen miles away!" The scout's voice brought the spring cold of Siberia, "There are about three or four hundred cavalry, the horseshoes are wrapped in felt, and there are many infantry behind them, which cannot be seen clearly.
They didn’t use a torch and came in the rain!”
Yu Wanqing pulled out the revolver on his waist: "Do you want me to take the cavalry battalion and catch them off guard first, and then lead them into the trap?"
"No need," Zuo Zongtang waved his hand, "The Russians are very proud and look down on us at all. Even if they know that we have built fortifications, they will crash into it! Your cavalry is still accumulating their strength to wait for them to be defeated!
When you escape, chase them hard, don't ask them to escape back to the fortress."
"It's so slander!" Yu Wanqing patted his chest, "Pack to me!"
Zuo Zongtang turned around and looked at the construction site below. Thousands of shirtless Taiping soldiers were working hard as if they were crazy. Under the light emitted by the whale oil torch, a U-shaped position made of logs.
, It's about to be completed. "Burn a knife to warm up each of your brothers." Zuo Zongtang said, "If you ask them to work harder, you must finish your work within two quarters of an hour!"
Muravijov's straight military uniform had been soaked by raindrops, becoming wet, heavy and cold, sticking to his body, which was very uncomfortable. He suddenly stopped the war horse, and the Taiping Army Camp ahead was a bit abnormally silent - there was
Half an hour ago, the light emitted by the whale torch was flashing, as if it was busy, but now it is quiet all of a sudden?
"Governor General!" The vanguard cavalry returned the horse's horse, "A simple pier has been built at the foot of the Camel Peak Mountain. Now it is brightly lit, and it seems that a large ship is still docked!"
These words made Muravijov's pupils shrink. Are these Chinese people all infrastructure madmen? They have repaired the simple wharf in just a few days? This is a problem. With the wharf, they can unload it quickly
With thousands of tons of supplies, you can not only unload food, ammunition and building materials, but also unload 32 pounds of heavy siege artillery and mountainous shells!
At that time, the Russian army would not be able to squat in the Petropavlovsk Fortress and wait steadily to starve to death, and would have to be bombed every day!
Thinking of this, the Tsarist Russian governor finally stopped hesitating, turned his horse's head, stepped into a dense forest, and walked into a dense forest with hundreds of Cossack cavalry, a strengthened infantry and four light artillery in the woods, were gathering quietly,
Several whale oil lamps emitted dim light, illuminating Muravijov's particularly cold face.
"Young men, tonight is the moment when we defeat the despicable Eastern heresy!" Muravyov's voice was low and powerful, and it clearly entered the ears of every Cossack cavalry and Russian infantry in the gaps of wind and rain.
"We not only fight for the Tsar, Russia, but also for God! As long as we can destroy the Chinese winter camp construction site, victory belongs to us! Blast in and kill a piece of armor and leave it alone. God is with us!
”
"Ula! Ula!" The Russian soldiers shouted in unison. The sabers in the hands of the Cossack cavalry were flashing coldly in the dark, like a group of demons rushing out of hell. With their commander Major General Vasily Zavoyko, he shouted.
Under the order, hundreds of Cossack cavalry rushed out of the dense forest like a tide and rushed towards the quiet camp of the Taiping Army. The sound of horse hooves sounded dullly on the muddy land, splashing large pieces of mud.
More than two thousand infantrymen formed five battalions that were very common in the Napoleonic War era. They carried four artillery guns and walked neatly, accompanied by a strong sense of rhythm, stepped on the mud, and started torches.
After leaving the dense forest, braved the cold rain of Siberia that was falling, and followed the Cossack cavalry to advance.
Muravijov took out a cross with diamonds and kissed her, then walked at the end of the team with more than a dozen staff officers and guards, riding tall horses.
"Don't shoot, don't shoot. Put the enemy closer before firing! Be sure to put the enemy closer!" Han Yulin ran around the muddy bamboo fence barefoot, rolled his trousers high, and strode around the muddy bamboo fence with his barefoot barefoot, rolled up his trousers high, strode around the muddy bamboo fence
, keep making loud orders. Taiping officers and soldiers, shirtless and barefoot, were wet with raindrops, each of them putting up rifles wrapped in rainproof cloth, and many people also prepared a sharpened long wooden spear.
, one end of the pestle fell into the mud, and the spear leaned against the chest wall made of wooden stakes.
The ups and downs of the Cossack cavalry were visible to the naked eye, and the sound of the rumbling horse hooves also came to the face like the sea waves. The cheers of "Ula, Ula" were like the sound of a magic sound from hell, beating everyone's eardrums.
Han Yulin, who had been through the battle for a long time, was unmoved and strode towards a 6-pound smoothbore cannon produced by the Shanghai Jiangnan Manufacturing Bureau. There was also a cannon on the cannon. Several artillery soldiers used their bodies to give it to the door.
A baby cannon filled with a shotgun blocked the raindrops floating in from outside. Seeing Han Yulin coming in, an artillery platoon leader shouted to him: "Han Brigade Commander, everything is ready!"
Then Han Yulin took a piece of linen, wiped the water droplets on his face and arms, then picked up a torch from the brazier, strode to the back of the cannon, gritted his teeth and said, "The whole army is
Listen to this cannon, only when it fires, can others make such heavy rain?”
The artillery platoon leader thrust his chest: "I use my head to make sure I can fire it in one shot!"
Zuo Zongtang stood in the rain on a wooden watchtower behind the U-shaped defense line and saw Russian cavalry. The infantry attacks were coming, and he couldn't help laughing: "Okay! Good! Good come."
.”
Before he finished speaking, a roar of artillery fire suddenly sounded on the front line, and then there were thunderous gunfire sounds of four or five thousand rifles sounded together!
"Boom."
Zuo Zongtang immediately raised his telescope and turned his eyes to the front line shrouded by the rainy night!
The dense bullets shot towards the Cossack cavalry rushing in the front. Because the fire was very close and the cross fire power was fired from the U-shaped position, the Taiping Army's first strike was unprecedented! There were nearly 200 instantly
The cavalry fell from the horse screaming, and the men and horses fell heavily into the mud, splashing a piece of mud. But the remaining Cossacks did not retreat at all - in the rainy night, they did not know their companions.
He had already suffered heavy casualties and was only stimulated by vodka and the belief in fighting for God, and continued their charge.
In a blink of an eye, dozens of Cossacks, who were leading the way, waved their sabers and shouted, crossed the low wooden stake wall and crashed into the U-shaped position of the Taiping Army.
The Taiping Army's U-shaped position is very long, and the breakthrough point of the Cossack Cavalry is on the right wing of the U-shaped position. It does not break through the entire right wing, but breaks through a small section of it.
Their sabers flashed in the dark with a cold light, and every wave was accompanied by a scream and a splash of blood!
The Taiping Army soldiers also had extremely tenacious resistance! Instead of filling in ammunition in a rainy night, they put bayonets on their rifles, or simply carried rifles and picked up spears that had been prepared long ago.
Rush towards the Cossack cavalry that broke through!
The shouts of "Kill the Russians! Go to heaven" and the cheers of "Ula! Ula" are intertwined into the most cruel symphony.
A young Taiping soldier took his spear toward a Cossack cavalry's war spur, whose chest, and he himself was bounced away by the impact of the war horse, and fell heavily into the mud, losing consciousness, and
The Cossack on the horse jumped to the ground in time and waved his sabre to slash at another young Taiping army. Before his sabre fell, a wooden spear stabbed into his chest first.
On the muddy battlefield, the two sides fought fiercely. The rain mixed with blood and flowed on the ground, forming dark red streams.
"Run in, rush in and blow the charge, let the infantry be faster! Pass the order to the right wing detachment and let them restrain the enemy's middle lane!" Muravyov stood in the stirrups and watched his cavalry crash into it.
The right wing of the Taiping Army shouted excitedly, and kept urging his subordinates to fill in the infantry who were still struggling in the mud.
At this time, whoever can join reinforcements in time will be able to laugh to the end!
But who can run in the mud during the pulp-turning period?
“Hurry, hurry up, keep up”
At the same time, on the bamboo fence road behind the Taiping Army's U-shaped position, a whole battalion of Taiping Army was running barefoot with barefoot, and the strong general Zhou Fengshan, who was leading the team, was still urging desperately.
But at this moment, a crackling sound of gunfire sounded on their left!
Muravyov's right-wing infantry had arrived at the shooting position and was fighting fire with soldiers from the middle of the Taiping Army. From time to time, stray bullets flew past the low walls of the Taiping Army and fell among the running soldiers, screaming one after another.
No mistakes, one song, one post, one content, one reading!
"Don't stop." Zhou Fengshan knew that now was not the time to stop. "The medical soldiers stayed to take care of the wounded, and the others moved forward at full speed! Kill the Russians and go to heaven!"
"Kill the Russians and go to heaven"
“Hurry and quick”
The telescope in Zuo Zongtang's hand, standing at a high place, was almost squeezing out of water. This was his first battle as a general of the Taiping Army, and his opponent was the extremely fierce Russian army!
For him, only by winning can he stand firm in the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom. For the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, only by winning can he prove that he is able to be a great power!
"Master!"
The surprise voice of Wang Kaihua, the general manager of the camp, suddenly came: "The 32-pound foreign cannon has been set up!"
This is a giant cannon that was unloaded from the steam troop ship on the dock this afternoon!
"Okay!" Zuo Zongtang said two good things in a row, "It is said that this general ordered the fire to open! Open the fire immediately and open the fire to the Russians behind! Then give General Yu the order to let his cavalry attack immediately and attack the Russians behind!"
"Get orders!"
The commander who had been impatiently waiting rushed away!
"Boom boom boom"
Ten minutes later, the 32-pound cannon suddenly started, and Yu Wanqing's cavalry jumped out of the lurking dense forest under the cover of a rainy night, and the battalion of Taiping soldiers led by Zhou Fengshan also rushed to the right wing of the U-shaped position.
The Taiping Army's counterattack has begun!
On the sea, on the deck of a British steam warship, Lieutenant General Sterling put down the telescope in his hand, breathed lightly, and said to the French Admiral beside him: "It seems that the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom has proved itself, they are enough.
You have the threshold of the great powers!"
French Reim nodded: "Yes, they are the great powers, the only great powers in East Asia, Northeast Asia, and even the Pacific Ocean! Lieutenant General, don't you think they are too strong?"
Chapter completed!
