"Commander, this Udysk city is not big in scale, but it is made of stone and is located on high ground. There are sentries on the four walls of the southeast, northwest and northwest. As soon as our troops appear, they can discover it and notify the defenders in time.
Military response. 【】Commander please!”
He Manchuan pointed to Wudisike in the distance, a little confused: "The Rakshasa people are divided into groups of three, and each team is thirty meters long. One city wall is covered with seven to eighty fire gunmen, and there are four or five others."
The ten tribesmen who were forcibly conscripted by them, our army does not have muskets, so we cannot suppress them with firepower. We can only take this city by force, but if we attack by force, we will definitely suffer heavy losses."
Zhao Qiang followed He Manchuan's gesture, and the Russian troops in the city had already noticed their presence. The city was crowded with people, and it was vaguely visible that the Russian troops were also observing Guan Ning's army.
It's a pity that there are no telescopes, otherwise the city's situation could be seen at a glance. Zhao Qiang blinked and secretly sighed that it would be troublesome to observe the enemy's situation without a telescope.
Zhao Qiang knew the principle of making telescopes. In his previous life, he had made simple telescopes in the school's after-school activity group when he was in the second grade of junior high school. This thing is best for long-distance observation. It was also called "clairvoyance" in ancient China. Qi Zhuang attacked Guli
When they arrived in Hecheng, they once seized a telescope used by the Russian commander, but unfortunately the soldiers broke it without paying attention. Now that I think about it, it was a pity. Zhao Qiang thought about how to make a telescope and equip all the officers in the team with one.
It was just that the lenses were hard to find. Although I knew how to make telescopes, I didn’t know how to make the lenses. I had no choice but to wear the lenses in the Russian army. If that didn’t work, I could only wait for Duncan and Guo Youshou to come back and get them from Europe.
The development and manufacturing of firearms and the assembly of military equipment must be carried out as soon as possible. Technology is the first combat force. Now, when dealing with the Russians with a small number of troops, we can defeat them one by one and beat them like a drowned dog. However, we have to deal with the Manchu Qing Dynasty, which has the power of the entire country.
, relying on the existing equipment of Guan Ning Army is definitely not enough. Zhao Qiang secretly made up his mind that as soon as the Dingyuan operation is over, he must find a way to come up with some new tricks in the winter to increase the combat power of Guan Ning Army multiple times.
Where were the craftsmen in Wu Sangui's army? Zhao Qiang suddenly remembered that Wu Sangui's army had many craftsmen who were skilled in firearms production. Most of these people were descendants of craftsmen directly under the Ministry of Household Affairs of the Ming Dynasty. The firearms of the Ming Dynasty were world-class, such as multi-barreled machine guns, rocket launchers, etc.
Things were invented long before Wanli. As long as the quality is good, these heavy weapons developed by Europeans two hundred years later are definitely weapons of mass destruction. If you master the production and manufacturing of these firearms and equip Guan Ning's army in batches,
Then Guan Ningjun is the meat grinder of the Qing army... Damn it, I didn't see these craftsmen outside the customs yesterday. Could it be that they were all absorbed by Kangxi? In the future, the relationship between military production and Guan Ningjun cannot just be
Rely on the Europeans, these guys are unscrupulous, and you must not let them cut your throat...
He Manchuan didn't know that the commander's thoughts were flying from the Wudisik in front of him to the multi-barreled machine guns and rocket launchers. Wu Jun's craftsmen went there. When he saw the commander staring at Wudisik without saying a word, he thought that the commander also felt that it was difficult to attack, so he couldn't help but say
: "Commander, if you don't want to lose your troops, I think you can learn the method used by Qi Qianhu to attack Gulihe City."
"Um?"
Just as he was thinking about it, Leng Buding was interrupted by He Manchuan. Zhao Qiang came back to his senses and asked him: "Why do you want to learn from Qi Zhuang?"
He Manchuan chuckled: "General, I heard that Qi Qianhu used thick smoke to smoke the defenders in the city and forced them to leave the city and surrender. Wudisike is about the same size as Gulihe City. Since Qi Qianhu can use smoke to smoke Gulihe
The Rakshasa ghost on the other side can also kill the Rakshasa ghost on the opposite side!"
"it's useless."
Before Zhao Qiang expressed his position, Liu De shook his head and rejected He Manchuan's method. He turned to Wudisike and said: "The terrain of Guli River City is flat, and the thousands of households that day took advantage of the wind outlet to diffuse the thick smoke.
Entering the city is not possible now. He Qianhu has also arrived. This city is built on high ground and is surrounded by low-lying areas. I think the Rakshasa people specifically chose this location when they built the city, so whether we use smoke or fire to attack
, Even if the wind is blowing in my direction, this smoke can't drift into the city."
After listening to Liu De's words, He Manchuan was a little reluctant. He wanted to see if there were any highlands closer to Wudisike City so that he could try the smoke method, but he didn't find any. Zhao Qiang couldn't help but feel discouraged.
When he saw it, he chuckled and said to him: "Manchuan, even if I find a place to set a fire for you, there is no need to use this method."
"Why?" He Manchuan didn't understand why the commander said that. Qi Zhuang had obviously had success in Guli River. Why could Wudisike not be successful under the same conditions? There was no sign that Wudisike was better than Guli River.
How big is Hecheng?
Zhao Qiang explained to him with a smile: "It was June when the smoke smoked the Guli River. The weather was very hot. The thick smoke and high temperature. How could the people in this city stand it? But now it is September. How can you use this again?"
There is no way to do anything about the Rakshasa people. At best, it will make them choke, but it will never force them to open the door and surrender. Do you understand?"
He Manchuan nodded when he heard this: "The commander-in-chief didn't say anything, but the general has forgotten about this. Damn, it's already September in the blink of an eye. The days go by so fast. It won't be long before it's time to put on a big cotton-padded jacket again."
"
"Yes, it will be winter soon." Zhao Qiang was also a little sad. It was morning, the temperature was not too high, and a breeze blew by, making people feel a little cool.
"Commander, it's impossible to outwit the enemy. The only way is to attack by force. Please give the order, Commander-in-Chief." Liu De was a little worried about Dujigensik, so he immediately reminded Zhao Qiang that it was better to capture Wudisk quickly and not delay too much.
time.
"okay!"
If you attack with force, attack with force. No matter how many people die, Wudisike will be taken down! Zhao Qiang slowly turned around and said to He Manchuan: "Send the order, bury the pots and stoves, build ladders for each department, and attack the city in half an hour!"
"After a pause, he glanced at the Cossack captain Grifsky who couldn't understand what he was talking to He Manchuan. He called the Russian translator on the side and asked him to tell Grifsky to send a few Russian soldiers to Udisk.
Call the city to let the defenders in the city know that they have been heavily surrounded by Guan Ning's army. There is no other way but to surrender. If they resist stubbornly, there is only one way to die.
After hearing the order, Grifsky immediately selected a few Russian soldiers from his subordinates, one of whom was Tekoloski, the original guard of Guri River City. Tekoloski heard that he was sent to call the city, and he was heartbroken.
It was very difficult for him. He did not want Udisk, Gurihe and Yask to be occupied by the Guanning Army, but he still knew how many defenders there were in Udisk. If they persisted in resisting, they might really be
There was only one way to die. However, out of the guilt of the Tsar towards Russia, Teklovsky did not want Udysk to become the territory of the barbaric Kwanin army. With this conflicting and painful feeling, Teklovsky and
Four Russian soldiers came to the city of Udysk under a white flag.
"We are Russians, we are Russians, don't shoot, don't shoot!"
