The enemy came to the city, and he was surrounded. The proud navy was completely wiped out! Not only did it not protect the castle, but it consumed the already insufficient troops. The regular defenders of Kamarsk Fort could not
There were more than 600 people, including the Cossack civilians and surrendered barbarians in the city, but there were only more than 900 people. After all, there were only 700 defenders left. They were besieged on all sides, and enemies were everywhere outside the city.
Flag.
Duke Pushkin called God directly and finally realized that the nobles were not omnipotent. He summoned Stepanov and Beketov, whom he had previously despised.
"Brave Cossacks, the Ming army has surrounded us. Do you have any good ideas?"
"Your Excellency, you don't have to worry too much. This city is very solidly built. The Bogd people (referring to the Manchus) sent troops to attack several times, but they failed to defeat it. Just rely on the strong city to defend it, and the Ming people will never be able to attack it.
"This city", Stepanov didn't care. After all, he had been besieged many times and was used to it.
"Your Excellency, although this city is an earthen city, the earth is built thickly. There are two layers of walls outside, plus a long trench. There is also a large amount of food stored in the city, and there are wells dug for water. It will last for two years.
, and there is no problem at all," Beketov, the designer of this fortress, said proudly.
Hearing the two men speak so firmly, Duke Pushkin regained his confidence. He knew that he could not command the war, so he simply entrusted full authority to Stepanov and Beketov.
Sun Guangwei was a cavalry general, and he fought bravely and decisively. But he was not stupid. He had been on the battlefield for many years and had rich experience. As soon as he saw the appearance of the city, he knew that it was difficult to fight, so he did not attack the city directly, but set up a fort.
, shot hard towards the city.
"Boom~boom~boom~" Under the city, one hundred and fifty heavy artillery roared. Some of these heavy artillery were transported by ship along the river, and some were unloaded directly from the warship.
"Boom~boom~boom~", the cannons on the city began to fire back. The Rakshasa people built artillery forts at the four corners of the fortress. They were condescending and could shoot farther.
The power of the God of War is unstoppable, and the ground was shaken by the bombardment. But after half a month of continuous bombardment, the sturdy Kamarsk Fort still stood firm despite being scarred.
"It seems that the only choice is to let the soldiers pay with their lives." Sun Guangwei closed his eyes in pain and prepared to order an attack on the city.
"Commander, reinforcements from North Korea have arrived," Chen Qice suddenly reported in his account.
"What? North Korean reinforcements?"
Sun Guangwei was very happy. When he fell asleep, someone would give him pillows. It was wonderful, wonderful, these were the best cannon fodder.
"Let's go and take a look," he shouted excitedly to Chen Qice.
The two came to the gate of the camp, and there were three generals standing outside the gate. The leader was tall and beardless, and was the North Korean imperial camp general Zheng Taihe; the other one was dark-skinned and muscular, and was the fifth military camp general.
Jin Shouxing; another person with short stature and bright eyes was the guard envoy Li Shifang. The three of them brought five thousand elite troops of the North Korea. In order to show his loyalty to the Ming Dynasty, and at the same time to prevent the Ming Dynasty from looking down on North Korea, the King of North Korea, Li Di,
Even the imperial camp was sent out.
"Oh, the three generals coming here are a real help in times of need! Hurry up and get in, I have prepared a banquet for the three generals," Sun Guangwei said with a smile. He had heard the Holy Sage once say that the method of controlling generals, the more incompetent they are.
The more you are close to the generals, the more polite you have to be to them. Only when they go to the battlefield will they be willing to sacrifice their lives.
Zheng Taihe, Jin Shouxing, and Li Shifang refused to accept the call.
After a drink, they became friends. Sun Guangwei repeatedly patted his chest and promised that as long as the three of them made military exploits, he would definitely ask for credit for them in front of the king.
The wine that sells one's life is not good to drink, and one has to sacrifice one's life after drinking it.
The next day, five thousand Korean troops were in formation. Zheng Taihe's generals waved their flags, Jin Shouxing led his troops pushing carts and ladder carts forward, and Li Shifang led his musketry soldiers to close in and shoot, covering the army's attack on the city.
Five thousand imperial troops, seven times the number of the defenders in the city, came overwhelmingly.
Duke Pushkin's face was earthy, and he tried his best to maintain the dignity of a nobleman. He stood at the top of the city, motionless.
"Quick, blow the trumpet and go up the city wall," Stepanov shouted. Just now, the Ming army fired artillery on the city, and most of the Rakshasa soldiers hid in the caves where soldiers were hiding. After receiving the military order, they ran up the steps to the city wall.
When the Korean army came to the city, they were greeted by bullets, stones, rolling logs and gold soup. They suffered numerous casualties and lay corpses everywhere.
"Boom~boom~boom~" North Korean shotgun soldiers fired upwards. Although they used old-fashioned matchlocks, they were well-trained and still caused certain casualties to the Rakshasa people. From time to time, Rakshasa soldiers fell down from the city wall. p>
After the war, Sun Guangwei wrote in "Memoirs of the Northland": "Although the Korean soldiers are not capable of riding horses, they do not violate the law. They are good at infantry warfare and shotguns, and they are very useful in capturing cities."
"Boom~boom~boom~" The Rakshasa people's muskets also fired downwards. They used flintlock guns with a faster rate of fire, knocking down row after row of Korean troops.
In this regard, the North Korean imperial camp general Zheng Taihe also wrote in "Memoirs": "The thieves cannon is different from the one made by our country. It does not use match ropes. The fire iron is inserted inside, and the iron plug is placed outside. When the flint is put down, the stone and iron are thinner.
But the fire is different??"
The Rakshasa people had city walls as cover, and their muskets fired quickly. The Korean army was at a disadvantage, and hundreds of people were killed or injured in the blink of an eye.
Jin Shouxing, the general of the fifth army camp, was always brave and brave. When he saw this, he was furious and led his troops to the city in person.
A musket was aimed at Jin Shouxing, and Centurion Ivan was about to pull the trigger. "Bang", a stray bullet shattered his head.
Jin Shouxing didn't know that he had saved his life from the Lord of Hell. He flew up the wall of the village in a few steps, and the steel knife flashed, killing several enemies in a row.
Seeing the ferocity of his approach, Stepanov aroused his ferocity and faced Jin Shouxing with a big scimitar. The swords went against each other like snowflakes flying, competing to see who would reveal his flaws first. The Qingfeng Jin family was a famous family in North Korea, and Jin Shouxing's sword skills
Good, and he was very courageous, but unfortunately he killed less people and lacked experience; Stepanov was both a Cossack and a horse bandit, and he couldn't even remember how many people he killed. His moves were not good-looking, but they were practical.
.
Jin Shouxing struck him in the head with a knife. Stepanov rolled shamelessly to his side and cut off his right foot with a knife.
"Oh," Jin Shouxing shouted in pain, and the second knife arrived, going straight into the heart.
"Bah", Stepanov spat out blood foam, pulled out his knife, and looked at the battlefield. The swarming Korean army had retreated, leaving dead bodies on the ground. A group of vultures were flying around the city, ready to fall at any time.<
/p>
The brutal siege lasted for five days. The Korean army suffered 1,500 casualties, while the Rakshasa army only suffered 200 casualties. But for the Rakshasa people, this exchange ratio was unbearable. After all,
, the number of defenders at Kamarsk Fort was very small, and they suffered another two hundred casualties, leaving only 500 defenders left.
"Duke, if this continues, the castle will be in danger. I suggest a night attack on the enemy camp," Stepanov suggested to Pushkin.
"Go, brave Cossack, His Majesty the Tsar will not forget your achievements." Pushkin agreed. At this moment, he could only place his hope in the bravery of the Cossacks.
