Jinsha City is quite empty now. If the previous intelligence is correct, there should be only about two thousand defenders left in the city...
What on earth is Ivan, a foreign devil, doing?
In fact, it was not Ivan who caused the incident, but Olga and Vasily.
Olga had a quarrel with Ivan and after returning home, she became more and more angry. After getting angry, she felt a little scared.
Because I have completely offended Ivan today. Although everyone is a major general, Ivan is still the commander-in-chief of Jinsha City after all, and he is a person of Governor Peter. If this guy takes advantage of Governor Peter's order to deal with him, he will still be punished.
It's really hard to handle.
Although Ivan is usually silent, he is actually ruthless and extremely decisive. If he falls into his hands, there will definitely be no good results!
Instead of waiting for death, he might as well take the initiative to attack Changshan City. If he succeeds, it will prove Ivan's cowardice and his own correctness. Even if the lawsuit goes to the Queen in the future, he will be responsible for it!
Fearing that things would change after dawn the next day, he made a decisive decision and led the fleet to set off overnight, preparing to arrive at the north bank of Changshan along the Bailong River and launch a surprise attack.
Vasily's idea was similar to Olga's. He also wanted to take the lead. Knowing that Ivan would definitely not agree to his sending troops, he broke out at night.
The reason why they are so anxious is that they are afraid that after Governor Peter and the others defeat Qin Gang, they will also occupy Changshan City, and then they will not be able to get anything...
Napoleon truly deserves to be a world-class military commander. He had already clearly analyzed the inferiority of the Ross cavalry. It was clear that they were undisciplined and greedy...
After Ivan learned that Vasily and Olga openly disobeyed orders and sent troops, Ivan almost fainted from anger!
Immediately order people to split up and chase them, and order these two stupid bastards to get back to me immediately, otherwise they will cut off their heads and bring them back to me!
But none of his men dared to carry out this order.
Because maybe before we can draw our swords, these two will chop off our heads first. If they don’t even take advantage of you, General Ivan, how can they take advantage of us?
Just as he was furious, an urgent message came from the city, saying that the enemy troops had arrived at the city!
Enemy troops? Where did the enemy troops come from? How many people are there?
The answer was that he didn’t know, because it was too dark outside to see clearly, but under all the vegetation and trees, it felt like there were more than 10,000 people!
Ivan hurriedly put on his armor and rushed to the top of the city. He saw that Xiao Chen's army had spread out under the city. It was a large, densely packed black area. It was really hard to see how many people there were. Anyway, everything he could see was covered with Yanyun flags.
All over the mountains and plains, everywhere...
Suddenly, a chissing sound was heard in the distance, and countless fireworks were shot onto the top of the city. They exploded with a bright light like daylight, and the entire city was reflected in a bright light, making every detail visible.
Then there was a harsh creaking sound, and dozens of stones that were half the size of a house flew towards us. Several large stones hit the city head, directly smashing several large gaps in the city wall, and more than a dozen soldiers dodged.
Soon, they were all smashed into pulp!
A dozen other stones fell into the city and rolled over, razing dozens of houses to the ground!
Jinsha City is a military city and there are no civilians at all, so Dugulou has no scruples in launching an attack. Anyway, there are plenty of big rocks brought, so don’t spare them for me, just launch them all!
The catapult has a range of hundreds of steps. Ivan and his muskets and crossbows can't reach them at all. The range of the cannon is enough, but the artillerymen can't see the position of the opponent's catapult at all. After a round of artillery fire, they feel nothing.
Effect……
Instead, they were targeted by the opponent's cannons. After a precise strike, all the twenty cannons at the top of the city were blown up!
They didn't dare to send troops out, so they could only be beaten passively.
The soldiers at the top of the city were all crouching in the corner, crossing themselves on their chests, God bless, please don’t hit me!
After half an hour, the catapults finally stopped showing off, but the top of Jinsha City was already devastated, with at least seven or eight city walls having large gaps smashed into them.
Ivan knew that the enemy army was about to attack the city soon, so he immediately sent people to seal the gap. However, he only had 2,000 men now, and more than 300 people were killed and wounded in just one bombardment... so he had to order all the logistics personnel
Everyone, pick up your weapons and come on top of me!
Sure enough, with a rumbling sound, dozens of elephants pulling twenty strange-looking siege vehicles slowly drove over.
Ivan immediately ordered people to launch rockets and burn them all for me!
But to his surprise, the rockets fired at them were useless, because the general siege vehicles were made of wood, but Xiao Chen's siege vehicles were completely made of steel!
The armor is not cowhide, but a steel plate one centimeter thick. Let alone bows and arrows, even muskets cannot penetrate it!
And the elephants pulling the carts were all covered in a thick layer of armor. They couldn't use rockets or muskets, not even the moat...
Under the horrified gazes of Ivan and other Russian soldiers, these elephants actually pulled huge siege vehicles directly into the water!
It doesn't matter if elephants can swim, what the hell is it that a siege truck can actually float in water?
In fact, it’s nothing special, it’s just a few large empty wooden boxes installed underneath. Do you want to know about modern amphibious combat vehicles?
After the siege vehicle landed, these large wooden boxes were immediately discarded. A group of pontoon soldiers followed closely behind, carrying wooden boards, hammers and nails, and worked quickly under the cover of the siege vehicle to remove the
The wooden boxes were gathered together, and wooden boards were nailed to them to build four or five simple pontoons...
Just when Ivan and the others were stunned, it suddenly started raining from the sky again!
It was a real can. It fell to pieces at the top of the city and burst into pieces. The smelly and choking green smoke filled the air instantly!
As soon as I smelled it, I immediately felt severe pain and itching in my eyes, tears streaming, my nose was sore and numb, and I couldn't stop sneezing. Many Russian soldiers sneezed so much that their chins were dislocated!
"No, it's poisonous smoke. Go get water and a towel to cover your nose!" Ivan's reaction was not unpleasant, but this measure is basically useless. You can cover your nose, but you can't cover your eyes.
?
This smoke is so evil that if it touches your eyes, you won't be able to open them!
Just as the city was in chaos, siege engines were already set up on the city, and countless heavy armored infantry filed forward...
There were flames everywhere in the city. This was the work of dozens of Wing Guard brothers. They had just taken advantage of the chaos and used grappling hooks, ropes and other objects to quietly climb to the top of the city. After sneaking into the city, they set fire everywhere!
There was no way to fight this battle. Ivan only hesitated for a moment before making a decision. He raised his hands and shouted, "Don't fight, hang the white flag, we surrender! I say it again, give up resistance, drop your weapons, and surrender to them."
surrender!"
This is a great decision, because if we continue to resist, the result will definitely be the annihilation of the entire army.
