"Supervisor, our army has marched thirty miles south of the Ming army's camp. Do you want to attack the camp now?" Cossack captain Kulba reported to Bashkov.
Kurba is Bashkov's confidant. Although his thousand Cossacks are not a regular army, they have accumulated a lot of practical experience because they have fought with various tribes in Siberia for many years. Their combat effectiveness is no weaker than that of the new regiment and the shooting army, so they are called
Ren is the vanguard of the entire army.
"No, go east and hide in the mountains first," said the cunning Bashkov.
Four thousand Rakshasa troops sneaked into the towering Barguzin Mountain. Thousands of soldiers and horses in the deep mountains were like a drop in the ocean and disappeared without a trace in an instant.
Bashkov led his troops to sneak into the western slope of Barguzin Mountain. The dense Siberian cedars on the slope successfully hid their whereabouts. Barguzin Fort is near the western slope.
"The troops will pitch tents on the slopes tonight and are not allowed to light fires for cooking. They are only allowed to eat dry food." Bashkov coldly issued the military order and took the lead in eating dry food.
The Rakshasa army on the mountain was nibbling dry food, but the Ming army camp at the foot of the mountain was full of joy. Yan Xiaoyong, the food transfer envoy, arrived with the army food.
Zhu Ruodeng was so happy that he really wanted to hug Yan Xiaoyong and kiss him. There was only more than a month of remaining food left in the army. If the army ran out of food, it would be scattered. If this batch of food and grass is no longer available, the consequences will be disastrous!
The young King Ji personally placed wine in the camp to express his condolences to the heroes who transported food thousands of miles away, "General Yan worked hard transporting food, is it going well on this journey?"
Yan Xiaoyong concealed the fact that Shi Dacheng, the governor of Outer Mongolia, advised him to cut off the food and grass for the Northern Expedition. He smiled and said: "Thanks to His Highness King Ji Hongfu, the transportation of food from Kulun was very smooth. Chen Duxian and Shi Fuyuan attached great importance to it and transferred him.
A lot of food and grass"
"Well, how much food and grass did the general bring to Gu?"
"General, the last general has brought half a year's worth of food. In order to save time, two months' worth of food was left at Gusino Ozersk Fort, and one month's worth of food was left in Vernolensk. The food and fodder were taken to the front line.
Enough for the army to last three months."
"Okay, okay, General, your hard work is really great. I would like to give you a toast, General." Zhu Ruodeng was so happy that he couldn't smile from ear to ear. With this batch of food, plus the remaining food in the army, it was enough to support the army for more than four months. Now he has
By tightly surrounding the Barguzin Fort, the Rakshasa people in the fort will no longer get any supplies, and you can get a steady supply of food and grass. Even if you can't conquer it, you can still trap the enemy to death.
Taking advantage of the new victory and his well-equipped troops and high morale, Zhu Ruodeng decided to try to attack again tomorrow. "Have a good meal tonight and attack the city early tomorrow morning," he ordered with a smile.
??
The dark wind from the North Sea is coming,
Looking at Longdui at Mingjun Temple.
Skulls are all soldiers of the Great Wall,
The sunset turns the battlefield into ashes.
The brutal siege battle began again, and the rumbling sound of artillery was deafening. By now, the Ming army had realized the solidity of Barguzin City, and no longer hoped to use solid bullets to collapse the city wall, but replaced it with explosive bullets.
, hoping to kill a large number of enemy personnel.
Explosive bombs are very expensive, but you still have to use them!
"Boom", a cannonball exploded like flowers, and several Rakshasa soldiers were shot into blood.
"Well, the artillery battalion fired well." Ma Bao put down his telescope with satisfaction and asked Zhu Ruodeng for instructions: "Your Highness, the soldiers are ready. Please give your order whether to attack the city or not."
"Let's go and tell Generals Liu and Gan that after they capture Barguzin, they will be the only generals to protect them." Zhu Ruozhen heard that his father once said to him that warriors have the most practical character. As long as they give benefits to
It was enough, and there was no one who was not willing to work hard, so as soon as he came up, he was offered the official position of two general soldiers.
Don’t underestimate the official position of Chief Soldier. In the early Ming Dynasty, there were few in the entire Ming Dynasty. After the Jiashen Rebellion, although the official positions were excessively sealed, Chief Soldier was still a high-ranking official, even in charge of the military affairs of a province.
"Drive~Drive~Drive~"
The Chinese army's banners and drums were bright, and they rushed to the two generals Liu Guoxuan and Gan Hui who were at the forefront and said, "Vice-general Liu, deputy-general Gan, and General Zhengbei have orders to attack the city immediately. After the city is defeated, you two will be the commander-in-chief." p>
General Soldier!
Upon hearing that he had the opportunity to be promoted to the rank of Commander-in-Chief, Liu Guoxuan's eyes instantly turned red, while Gan Hui's eyes shone with a strange glint.
"Dong~dong~dong~"
The marching drums are beating, and the ancient marching drums usually sound three times. It is not like what is sung in the Peking Opera: "The first drum is used to make war rice; the second drum is used to tighten the shirt; the third drum is used to unsheath the sword; the fourth drum is used to unsheath the sword.
"Hand over the troops?", but when you hear the first drum sound, you have to charge into the battle. If you hear the drum, if you don't go ahead, behead; the second time the drum sounds, it tells the soldiers that the enemy army is defeated and begins to pursue; the third time the drum sounds, it tells the soldiers that the enemy is defeated and begins to pursue;
The sound of the drum is the most exciting moment, telling the soldiers: We are about to win. Generally, when the soldiers hear the third sound of the drum, their morale will be high, and they will defeat the enemy in one go.
"Kill~kill~kill~"
Veterans who have experienced hundreds of battles move forward with various siege equipment in three steps, shouting kill.
"Boom~Boom~Boom~"
On the city wall, the artillery of the Rakshasa Army began to roar.
Instead of retreating, the Ming army pushed the carts and accelerated their advance. Veterans all knew that as long as they rushed into the blind spot of the artillery, the enemy's artillery would be useless.
From time to time, soldiers were knocked down by artillery shells, and more soldiers rushed to the city.
"Bah~bah~bah~" the muskets on the city began to shoot.
"Kill~kill~kill~"
The Ming army rushed out from behind the carriage and climbed up the ladder carriage.
"A cloud ladder can stand on the clouds, so it can overlook the enemy's city." This kind of ladder is thick and heavy and difficult to push down.
Some of the Rakshasa troops lifted large rocks and threw them down, while others used muskets to shoot down. Soldiers attacking the city were constantly being smashed down and shot down.
Gan Hui holds two swords and is as agile as an ape. He can climb quickly with just his legs.
Dodge flying stones and bullets, and jump to the city.
A Rakshasa soldier struck with an axe, but Gan Hui sidestepped and took advantage of the situation. The knife in his left hand slipped and killed the enemy. With another swing of the knife in his right hand, he chopped down an enemy who was about to shoot.
Seeing that Gan Hui had already rushed forward, Liu Guoxuan's eyes turned red, and he bravely climbed up the ladder with his sword and shield in hand. An excellent general will never be left behind.
"Bang", a stray bullet penetrated his back.
Time paused for a moment, Liu Guoxuan fell heavily from the ladder, and the earthen jar broke if it did not leave. The general would inevitably die before the battle. The life of the general and the lives of the soldiers are actually equally fragile.
The two armies met and fought fiercely at the top of the city.
Seeing that although his side had occupied several footholds at the top of the city, it was still unable to expand its results. Zhu Ruodeng was a little anxious and ordered Chen Youlong and Baoluo to attack the city.
These two troops are the reserve forces of the Ming army. After they are deployed, Zhu Ruodeng will have no mobile force to mobilize.
Ma Bao frowned, feeling that something was wrong, but today's main attack direction is the West City. A few days ago, they just defeated the Rakshasa reinforcements from Yakutsk and captured and killed the enemy general Karaway. It is expected that in a short while, Yakutsk will
There were no more reinforcements to be sent in the direction of Tsk, and the rear of the army should be safe, so there was no further dissuasion.
