Chapter four hundred and eighty-eighth the main debut
Chapter 488: The main person appears
It did not mean that the intensity of the battle would weaken. The torches and fires on the castle were shining brightly. The soldiers of the Roganov family shouted loudly, holding the swords and guns in their hands to fight with the Khanate's suicide squads. Although there was a source of flames, the darkness always hid something, and some people climbed up the city wall. However, the Khanate's dead soldiers were fighting immediately.
In such a battle to defend and siege the city, especially in a small-scale battle, it was far less than that of the well-trained castle defenders. Russian soldiers held short axes and wooden guns in their hands, and several people gathered in a group and repeatedly attacked the Khanate dead soldiers who had climbed the city walls.
The sabers in the hands of the Cossack cavalry were waving like windmills. The Khanate Dead Soldiers were good at bows and arrows and horse impacts. Such fights were extremely bad. Often, they would be killed by the opponent as soon as they climbed the city wall and occupied a position.
Compared with yellow people, Westerners can really be regarded as beasts, with high noses and deep eyes, long hairs, like animals, and their bodies are much taller and stronger. Nowadays, the Khanate dead soldiers are fighting there with a crazy spirit. In fact, after the night comes, some people can escape quietly in the night, but the killing is full of blood, and everyone is extremely excited.
Moreover, the expeditionary forces of Bil Khanate and Russia are as deep as the sea. Many people vent their anger in the battle these days in the expedition pioneers.
The people above were no longer concerned about putting out the fire, but the flames of the castle gate and suspension bridge were about to be extinguished, because the heavy wooden boards had turned into coke at this time.
Another cloud ladder was overturned from the city wall. Now there are only three cloud ladders on it. The archers' arms are already sore and weak, and they cannot shoot powerful bows and arrows to cause damage. The same is true on the city, where artillery can fire one shot.
The archers below were dispersed, but the gun bore could no longer withstand such frequency of shooting. The artillery soldiers had already started to urinate to cool the cannon body, which was only slightly improved. The three ladders were equivalent to the fact that the Khanate dead soldiers climbing below could not continue to impact the defenders of the castle. The defenders above became more and more relaxed, and the fatigue of the Khanate dead soldiers began to gradually spread out.
The ferociousness aroused by the killing gradually faded. Some people are now thinking about whether they can escape by the night. A few self-wise men left the shooting range above the castle and bent down toward the darkness, but they just ran a few steps.
There will always be cavalry chasing after them, and the fleeing people have no chance to resist and are killed there directly, and this matter is not over yet.
After the escaped dead soldier was killed, his head was cut off immediately and then taken to the dead soldier camp to identify. His family was caught mercilessly by the supervising team and was beheaded and killed in front of the formation. This bloody example shocked all those with dissent.
But when the people in the city looked at the three lonely ladders, they really had no courage to continue fighting. The defenders who had recovered from the above had already started to load ammunition and prepare to shoot. As long as the musket was loading ammunition and the musket itself was not a problem, it would be fine to fire dozens or hundreds of guns in a row. The archers were at most ten arrows in a row.
The arms and shoulders will soon feel the limit. Don’t forget that these days, they are not full at all.
At this moment, the horn behind sounded, and the Khanate soldiers who had no intention of fighting ran back towards the formation with no speed. The row of muskets behind were also weak. In this battle, both sides had consumed their spirit and strength.
The nearly 10,000 prisoners were mainly concentrated in the golden tent of the Thibirkhan Kingdom, so there were nearly 4,000 young and strong people. However, in the unstoppable siege, only a thousand young and strong people were left, and each of them was injured.
In addition to the supervisory teams behind who had not been used much, the total was only 1,300,400 people. In the places where these prisoners' families were locked up, some people cried with joy. More people cried in despair.
Baron Roganov, who was standing on the top of the city again, listened to the shaking crying sounds opposite, and looked at the corpses below and the blood-stained wall bricks on the castle, with the fire. He felt extremely tired, but he could have relaxed and felt a sense of fatigue.
However, it is still unknown whether the opponent will continue to attack the next day. The Baron did not dare to guarantee that he could defend it with such a desperate attack. This was a madman tactic that ignored the safety of his personal life. Under such an attack, the advantages of firearms and individual combat power were offset a lot.
The not-so-devoted Baron Roganov began to pray silently, and the priest who followed the army had already walked up to the city and began to appease the soldiers.
Suddenly, in the direction of crying, the direction of darkness without any light began to ignite a fire. Seeing this, the soldiers on the city were all a little relaxed, which means that the other party might be preparing to rest. No matter what, everyone needs to have a nap.
Someone lit torches on the fire, one torch lighted two, and two turned into four. Just on the castle, the Russian defenders were staring at them dumbfoundedly. On the dark grassland, there seemed to be a sea of stars suddenly appearing. Countless torches were lit. The expedition pioneers who had been hiding behind the Khanate Dead Soldiers finally revealed his appearance.
"O my God!"
The priest who came up to comfort him couldn't help but exclaim. Baron Roganov's eyes were also staring at the suddenly appearing brigade. For a moment, the atmosphere on the castle became weird and low. A Russian officer looked at something wrong and shouted quickly:
"Don't worry, these barbarians can only draw bows and shoot arrows. Our firearms can drive them back like rabbits. Just like today's battle, the heroic warriors of the Tsar only sacrificed more than a hundred people, but they had already killed thousands of barbarians!"
Of course, this man did not mention the three or four hundred Cossack cavalry who died outside. Baron Roganov was also awakened by these cheerful words. He had made up his mind and must promote the officer who stood up at this critical moment afterwards.
The five artillery brought by the Expedition Pioneer were pushed close enough in the darkness and adjusted the angle as much as possible.
Under the reflection of the torch, Liu Shisan raised the sword in his hand, which was actually equivalent to his scepter. Jiang Feng gave the sword and sword below him, which was also a proof of his identity.
An artillery captain standing next to the artillery saw Liu Shisan’s order, nodded there, and followed the loud command:
"Get angry!"
The artillery that had been loaded had been lit up and the leads were heard. A sharp whistle sounded and flew towards the city gate. Everyone on the castle changed at that moment. These were not barbarians. Such artillery was not often seen even in wars between the east and European countries.
When the priest was about to pray, the ground under his feet suddenly trembled. It was because the blood-stained ground was extremely slippery and suddenly it fell to the ground. However, after the cannon landed, the roar was not as big as I remember, as if it was penetrated.
Just as he was about to ask, Baron Roganov and several officers ran to the edge of the castle wall like crazy, and shouted at the top of his lungs:
"Clog the city gate and continue to move the stones to reinforce them!"
The city gate and suspension bridge were completely smashed by the first round of shelling. Fortunately, there were already a lot of bricks and stones in the afternoon battle. However, because the battle on the wall was too tense and people needed to be assigned to prevent the enemy from attacking from other directions, the so-called filling of the door hole was not done incomplete.
After all, they did not expect that the other party would have such heavy firearms. All the soldiers and even some women rushed over with their things, but the howling sound came out, and five more than three-pound shells hit the piles of bricks and stones.
The pile of bricks and stones blocking the door trembled suddenly, and the part close to it collapsed a lot. It was one thing when bombarding the other party, and it was another thing to confirm that the other party had a cannon. Those who went over to repair the repairs were so scared that they took a few steps back, fearing that they would be affected.
The officer standing behind was so angry that he waved his scabbard and almost drew his sword to kill people. As soon as these people were about to step forward, the whistling sounded again. The loose bricks and stones just now exploded and the people standing outside were hit by the splashed bricks and stones and bleeding.
Now even the officers behind could not restrain themselves, and they fled to the back. Only after five rounds of artillery fired in this era would the barrel overheated. The fourth and fifth rounds of artillery bombardment were fired immediately.
The artillery above the city also began to fire at the artillery position of the expedition pioneers, but there was no accurate point at all. With the flash of fire, there was no way to determine the position.
You can already see the lights in the castle from the city gate, and Liu Shisan shouted loudly immediately:
"Tomorrow morning, we will camp in this fortress!"
The surroundings started to shout, and the formation slowly moved towards the front...
Chapter completed!
