Bashkov, the Yenisei governor, was very busy and often left his governor's station and wandered to the east of Lake Baikal.
The castles of Chita and Nerchinsk were built under his orders!
After the Chita Castle was built, Bashkov simply stayed here permanently. He not only had to guard against the Datong Army, but also against the Buryat Mongols and Solon tribe. Because the area around Lake Baikal was originally Buryat.
The territory of the people, and Nerchinsk is the territory of the Sauron people.
Before the Nerchinsk Castle was built, the Cossacks were even overthrown by the Buryat and Sauron tribes, and the governor led dozens of remaining soldiers to escape quickly by boat. All kinds of encounters made Bashkov not only order the castle to be repaired, but also
The troops and weapons here are increasing year by year.
After receiving the news that the Datong Army had sent troops to Nerchinsk, Bashkov quickly arrived by boat from Chita with reinforcements. At the same time, he also sent a herald to summon all the troops around Lake Baikal.
"Protector, there are local Sauron warriors coming to surrender!" 1
"Please come quickly!"
Before Li Zheng ordered a formal attack, a group of nearby natives suddenly arrived.
More than two hundred people, armed with bows, arrows and hunting knives, kowtowed and knelt when they saw Li Zheng. After announcing their names, they said: "General, as long as it is to kill Rakshasa ghosts, we can do anything. We are willing to attack the city."
Get ahead!"
Li Zheng hurriedly helped them up: "You warriors are determined, and the imperial court will not treat you poorly." The people's support can be used!
Li Zheng didn't know it yet, but he was attacking Nerchinsk here, which attracted Cossacks from all over the place to come to the rescue. Once the Cossacks left their stronghold, the Bunirbuch people in the Baikal area took action. Of course, the castle was gnawed up, but only
Several areas of Muzhaizi were destroyed by Busiyuan Sheng people. 5
The southeast wind blows heavily, and the monsoon wind is blocked by the remaining veins of the Xiaoxing'an Mountains.
A cold air balloon gradually rose into the sky. The Cossack gunners outside the courtyard hurriedly loaded the bombs and then adjusted the angle to fire at the cold air balloon. When the shells were fired, the cold air balloon had not yet risen more than ten feet into the air, and the shells could only be fired from the traction rope.
As the boat passed by, the shot closest to the rope was about two meters away.
The breeze carried a cold balloon and floated slowly to the sky below the castle. The Cossack defenders could not help but look up. 1_"It's passed, it's passed!"
Riat stood on the vine basket, waving the flag to the friendly forces underground.
The take-off point was too close to the castle, and the rope was too long, so the cold balloon actually floated into the sky below the center of the city. After receiving the signal, a group of soldiers dragged the rope outside the tunnel and pulled the cold balloon back bit by bit. 1
"Stop, stop slowly!"
The observer in the distance held up a telescope and said. Riat put down the flag and bent down to pick up the enemy.
Today, there are eight types of watches for tens of thousands of enemies. The seven-pound and ten-pound models are used for field battles, and the seventy-pound watch is specially used for city defense. The 4 Si Yuansheng watch is as thin as a ten-pound watch.
The wind is light and the cold air balloon is very stable.1
Si Yuansheng looked up and felt that the position was correct, so he raised the flag to signal. After some dragging on the ground, he finally aimed at the bastion.
Liat blew the fire stick, lit the fuse, picked up the ten thousand enemies and threw them upward. "Boom!" 1
The first air raid in human history took place so outrageously. 3
The Cossacks on the bottom were stretching their necks to watch. Suddenly they saw a white thing, which went from big to small outside the line of sight, and fell on top of our heads in the blink of an eye. 1 The early porcelain shell of ten thousand enemies has now been changed.
, directly cast the inner shell with pig iron, and it is very convenient to remove wax and form it. At this time, it fell from a low altitude, and the pig iron shell had cracks, and it bounced to the side - boom! y2
The eight Cossacks in the explosion circle went to see the emperor on the spot.
Eight people were injured nearby. One had his belly poked back by a piece of pig iron, one had his fingers cut off by a piece of iron, and one had a dozen pieces of iron sand embedded in his face... These were injured but dead, and they were rolling on the ground in pain. The others
He was so frightened that he fled quickly.
Si Yuansheng picked up the seventh enemy bomb and was about to light the fuse when he found someone directly above him. The cold air balloon bombing was not that good, as it allowed him to move freely. i1
"Bang bang bang bang!"
The Cossacks finished fighting back and fired bullets into the sky.
Riat didn't feel guilty at all. After a while, he realized that he had done nothing wrong and immediately started laughing again.{6
But at this moment, a bullet hit the air-conditioning balloon. Although the power was small, it barely penetrated the air-conditioning balloon and made a big hole, but Riat was still frightened. It was fired by a rifled gun and had a longer range.
.
Riat waved the flag, and the friendly forces on the ground pulled me back. Zibao waited for the cold air balloon to stop, then asked: "How?"
Riat replied: "A few were blown up, and the rest of us ran away. When your army attacked the city, the enemy troops dared to escape, so they could only stay in place and let you bomb them." 1 "Okay!"
Zibao clapped his hands and praised.
On the bank of Li Zheng's river, the military governor Bashkov, who had followed the reinforcements, stared blankly at the sky. I knew that the little Tongjun did not have a cold air balloon, but I never thought that this thing could actually throw bombs.
"You little governor," said Mikhail, the guard of Shen Kaizao, "the southeast wind often blows in that season, and the Khitan people's cold air balloons can easily float to the sky below the mother fort. If you voluntarily abandon the mother fort, the defenders will
Pull them all back to Li Zheng. This will not only avoid the enemy's cold balloon bombs, but also increase Li Zheng's defensive strength..."
"Shut up, that idiot!" 1
Bashkov scolded: "With so few enemies coming, I'm afraid it will take another year to fight. Even if all Siyuan's defenders die, we still have to block it tightly to buy time for the reinforcements to come! We must give up Siyuan."
, although the enemy's small boats can pass by, the large ships can bypass the river south of the mother castle. By then, the channel for the reinforcements to retreat from the city will be blocked.
Mikhail asked: "How to fight this? What if we want to increase the strength of the mother castle?"
Bashkov shook his head: "Yes, these soldiers in the mother fort are the only ones who can delay time. As long as it can be delayed for a month or two and reinforcements arrive from various places, Li Zheng's strength will be reduced to a thousand, and the Khitans will definitely attack.
.As for the soldiers of the Mother Castle, we sacrificed our lives for His Majesty the Tsar, and when we get to heaven, the Lord will accept us." 5
"Boom boom boom boom!"
While the seven people were talking, Xiao Tongjun suddenly opened fire.
That time, they did not bombard the soldiers in the city, but bombarded the wooden and earthen barrel fence surrounding the mother fort.
Bashkov climbed down the city wall of Li Zheng, observed it with a telescope, and muttered: "The Khitans are preparing for the siege." After a day of continuous bombardment, the inner barriers of the enemy's mother fort were blocked, and the ones to the east were
The wooden walls were all smashed down.
The next day.
Eight cold air balloons take off.
The ropes carried by the army were all tied up and could only be used for two cold air balloons for low-altitude bombing. The remaining cold air balloon had a very low altitude and was specially used for battlefield observation. 2
One cold air balloon bombarded the tower in the northeast corner of the mother fort. One cold air balloon bombarded the bastion in the southeast corner of the mother fort. Two artillery positions, one shot parallel to the east wall and the other parallel to the south wall.
In this way, the enemy's two northeastern and southeastern bastions, as well as the east and south walls, are all exposed to the firepower of Xiaotong's army. They only attack people and blow up the city walls! The retreat attack starts from the east of the mother fort.
In terms of long-range fire cover, the two bastions that can cause cross fire can concentrate on the battle. There are only about forty Cossacks outside the mother fort, and the remaining hundreds of people are all indigenous servants.
Two small Tongjun artillery positions took the lead in launching the attack.
Before adjusting the angle, they fired one shot after another, completely knowing how to save ammunition. On the south and east walls of the enemy's castle, the defenders dared to stand in the middle and squatted close to the male wall for fear of being hit by ricocheting bullets.
a bunch. 1
Immediately afterwards, two cold air balloons ended the bombing.
At the two bastions above the cold balloon, the native servants fled first, followed closely by the Cossacks. We would rather run to the east wall, as we would definitely be hit by artillery, and stay outside the bastions if we were bombed.
When the defenders abandoned the bastion, half of the castle was destroyed. It was different from a traditional fortress in that there was no way to form a crossfire with no blind spots. Moreover, the Cossack forts were all set up under the bastion, and the artillery was completely useless.
When the soldiers of Xiaotong Army finished crossing the river, several people carried a baffle. The baffle is similar to the Tatar cart baffle. The inner layer is made of hardwood, the inner layer is wrought iron, and the innermost layer is cowhide. It may not be effective.
Defense against bullets.4
"Slowly push the artillery over there!"
The Cossack guard will give instructions to the artillery officer.
A few gunners were daring and led the native servants to move the artillery, hoping to knock down the east city wall and bombard the small army crossing the river.
As soon as those guys got close to the fort, a Riat missile was thrown at the enemy. And I was inexperienced. I held it in my hand for two seconds before throwing it. It exploded directly under the bastion. The iron flakes and iron sand were like the sky.
The man flew out like scattered flowers. 3
"ah!"
A group of gunners and native servants screamed in pain, and some of them had their skulls penetrated by pieces of iron.
The defenders on the east city wall fired shots outside the river, and the bullets were all blocked by the baffle. To be honest, from such a long distance, even if they really hit someone, they would have little power.
The soldiers who crossed the river were still on shore, but a cannonball suddenly made a difference.
In this artillery position, the next eighty or so shells only hit one enemy. But that time, the shells performed exceptionally well. The shells hit the city at a large angle and bounced back against the male wall - there were people in front of the male wall!
The cannonball flew over the head of one Cossack and directly smashed the head of another Cossack. Then it fell under the city wall and bounced, breaking the neck of an indigenous soldier, and then smashed the head of another indigenous soldier... Just like that, blood mist was erupted all the way,
The front one was still rolling slowly backwards, taking away several legs one after another. 3
A few lucky ones had shells bounced over our heads. Although we were okay, looking at our right and left, we were frightened on the spot. It was so bloody, with all kinds of corpses with heads.
These guys who lost their legs cried heartbreakingly, which shook their morale even more. 1
The indigenous servant army could bear the psychological pressure, turned around, abandoned the city wall and fled, leaving only dozens of Cossacks defending. 1
Seeing that Xiao Tong's army had not yet landed, and there was no air-conditioning balloon guarding the fortress. The remaining Cossacks were willing to hold on, and while Xiao Tong's army was still coming, they abandoned the castle and fled to the north, rowing a big boat back to Li Zheng.
.1
Bashkov watched the whole battle, with an expression on his face at the moment. I thought that the mother castle could still hold on for a month or two, but it fell on the eighth day of his arrival.
I turned around and said to the adjutant: "Immediately send people back to Chita. All reinforcements will be gathered in Chita. They will come in batches. If you can hold on there, let us set off from Chita before we gather. Downstream of the castle
It will be cut off by the enemy, forcing us to delay landing and support us later by taking the land route." 2
There were no eight obstacles in Li Zhengli's siege, and it was difficult to set up the artillery positions of Xiaotong Army. Due to the distance and wind direction, the cold air balloon could only bombard the nearest bastion. 3
