One hundred and thirtieth chapters Dingyuan battle eight
"Master, what are the Qing people doing?"
At the head of the city of Guli River, A Leer came and went with wide eyes, but could not see what the Qing team on the opposite side was doing. She could only dimly see teams of Qing people carrying wood to the river, and then turned back.
【】With his master by his side, Ale'er was not afraid of the invading Qing people at all, but he really wanted to know what those Qing people were doing now and why they didn't reach the bridge downstream but stayed on the other side.
movement.
Ale'er's question was also Tokolowski's question, but he couldn't explain it to the young man because he also wanted someone to tell him what the Qing people on the opposite side were doing.
"Master City Guard, the Qing people don't seem to know where the bridge is."
Chekov, the officer of the musketeers, walked to Tokolosky with some worry and said without worry: "They seem to be setting up a platoon to forcefully cross the Guri River. Sir, we must stop them."
"Yes, Chekov, I'm here."
After listening to Chekov's words, Tokolosky nodded. After what he said, he already understood what the Qing people were going to do, but he shook his head and said: "Even if we knew that the Qing people were building Mubai to cross the river, we
There is no way to stop them."
Chekov hesitated for a moment and then suggested: "Maybe I can lead a team of musketeers to stop them and let the Qing people who want to cross the river go to the river to feed the fish."
"No, brave Chekov, I know you are brave, but..."
Preventing the Qing people from crossing the river is a good way, but Tokolosky did not want to do this. He first affirmed Chekov's bravery, but then changed his voice and said firmly: "Our troops are limited, and the Qing people
They are definitely not less than us. I don’t want the army to suffer any losses before the Qing troops attack the city, so I don’t agree with you to stop them. Chekov, you have to know that a strong city is our best weapon to defeat the Qing people.
, our best way to retreat from the enemy is to use the city wall to kill those shameful Qing people."
"Well."
Chekov glanced at the other side of the river with some regret. What the city guard said was not unreasonable. According to the officers who had dealt with the Qing people, those stupid Qing people did not seem to pay much attention to firearms. They still only focused on broadswords and spears.
In the thinking mode of adding bows and arrows, although the Qing people on the opposite side seemed to have fire musketeers, they were no match for the Russian musketeers. They tried to attack the city with swords and spears. Unless those Qing people had the help of the emperor, otherwise
Absolutely not going to happen. Maybe the reality will be as described by the city guard, the shameful Qing people shed their blood under the tall city wall of Guli River.
The envoys seeking help from Yask have already set off. Except for a small number of people outside the city who have fled to the surrounding mountains and forests, most of them have taken refuge in the city. When Guli River City was built, it was to completely control the Daur people, Evenki people and other people in the Guli River Basin.
Those indigenous builders even wanted to build Guri River City into a completely Moscow-style fortress. Unfortunately, due to limited conditions, it was not possible to build it. In the end, the current square castle was built. But even so, the city can accommodate thousands of people.
, and the city walls are made of rough stones. Although they are not high, they are definitely a nightmare for an army that lacks siege equipment.
The musketeers who serve as the defensive force are all professional military personnel. Some of them have also participated in the war against Switzerland and the battle to conquer the Caucasus, so they have very mature combat experience. Even the more than one hundred are not
The Russians, who were military personnel, were as familiar with muskets as they were with the Volga. Therefore, Tokolowski and all the officers believed that the backward and cowardly Qing people would never be able to attack the city.

"The Rakshasa people will definitely attack us when we are crossing the river, so I need the first batch of people to cross the river to be warriors, to clear a bloody path for the division, and to be firmly anchored on the other side of the river, so that the following troops can cross safely!"
In front of the woods, Qi Zhuang was sitting on his war horse, pointing at the twenty wooden platoons that were tied up and looking at the sergeants coldly: "Whoever crosses the river first will be promoted to one rank! The first sergeant to attack Guli River City will be directly promoted to the rank of
team leader!"
"Brothers, you all know the virtues of the Rakshasa people. There are only two to three hundred Rakshasa people on the other side. As long as we cross the river, Gulihe City will definitely be ours!" said the deputy commander of the infantry regiment accompanying Qi Zhuang.
Captain Zuo Mingnan lost no time in riding his horse out to cheer him up: "Master Qianhu has given everyone a heavy reward, why do you have any hesitation! If you don't get military merit at this time, when will you get military merit! If you are a man, why don't you sign up quickly!"
"Zuo Qianhu is right. If you don't get military honors at this time, how can you get them!" Lin Jiafeng, the captain of the First Fire Gun Corps, laughed strangely with his Sichuan accent: "The taste of Rakshasa girls is really bad.
It’s the best. Brothers, if you want to try it, show it to me!”
After hearing what Lin Jiafeng said, the Han sergeants who understood it all laughed lustfully, but they didn't understand that after receiving the translation, the sergeants from all ethnic groups also showed strange smiles. Yes, those plump Rakshasa women are really
It makes people drool. Compared to the sergeants who have tasted Rakshasa women, the expressions of the auxiliary soldiers are even more complicated. Thinking that others are fucking Rakshasa women, but they have to guard Nai for them, the auxiliary soldiers can't help but feel a commotion.
They are already familiar with the division's military merit system, and now there is a promise from the captain. The stimulation of military merit, the attraction of Rakshasa women, and the male hormones in men are released to the fullest.
"I attended!"
"Kumule is willing to cross the river!"
"Deinci is also willing!"
"For no other reason than for the sake of the Rakshasa ladies, I, Hatu, have sacrificed my life. Sir, I want to be the first to cross the river!"
The sergeants stood up one by one and walked to the raft on the river without hesitation. Because there were so many soldiers to participate, Zuo Mingnan couldn't help but let a few captains take charge of order.
Twenty wooden platoons could accommodate 160 sergeants crossing the river. Soon, the first 160 soldiers who crossed the river came out voluntarily. There were cavalry, infantry, Han sergeants and soldiers of all ethnic groups.
There are also more than thirty Han Chinese criminals from Morgan.
"Brother Zuo, you hold the formation here and I will lead the people across the river myself."
Seeing that the preparations were completed, Qi Zhuang got off his horse, untied his clothes and threw it into the hands of the soldiers, pulled out his sword, and headed for the raft. Seeing this, Zuo Mingnan hurriedly grabbed him: "Master Qianhu, you are the joint commander.
Captain, the commander-in-chief of the entire army, how can you risk your life? Let me take care of the crossing of the river, sir, just take care of it."
"Hey, you are the commander-in-chief of the army. Don't you know how much I weigh? The position of captain of this regiment is all about division commander taking care of the old brothers. If you want me, I, Qi Zhuang, can only be the commander-in-chief."
Qi Zhuang couldn't help but break away from Zuo Mingnan: "Brothers have worked hard to follow the division commander north, but in the future we can go south to fight the Tatars again, avenge the prince, and vent the evil for us Han people! I lived a useless life before, and why?
The Tatars were slaves, but it is different now. We are here for ourselves. The battle of Dingyuan must be successful. This Guli River City is the first battle, and we must win it smoothly. Otherwise, I will have no shame in meeting the division commander. I
If you don’t step on the other side in person, your heart will be so damn unreliable. Brother Zuo, don’t argue with me. We are brothers, so just keep the Rakshasa people’s guns from hitting me!”
After saying that, Qi Zhuang clasped his fists at Zuo Mingnan, tightened his belt, and walked to the raft with no arms. Zuo Mingnan knew that he couldn't stop him, so he had to sigh and ordered Lin Jiafeng and Ma Long to prepare the second batch.
