The location where the Guan Ning Army besieged the Russian reinforcements was only six or seven miles away from Dujigensk. The vast forest and the sound of dense firecrackers filled the sky and shocked the ears of the Dujigensk defenders. [] Siege of Luo
After the battle for the reinforcements began, the infantry and cavalry regiment of the Guanning Army, which was responsible for the siege of Dujigensk, stood ready. The infantry's guns were filled with medicine early, the archers' bowstrings were slightly pulled up, and the spearheads pointed forward.
The cavalrymen patrolled back and forth on both sides of the trench.
After standing at the top of the city and looking northwest again and again, Nikita finally confirmed that the governor-general had encountered an encounter with the Qing people. Out of trust in the combat effectiveness of the governor-general's guard, Nikita did not act in time when the sound of firecrackers first sounded.
He sent troops out of the city to answer the Governor's order. But when he heard the sound of firecrackers coming from the distance becoming increasingly rare, Nikita had an unpleasant feeling. He was afraid. If something unexpected happened to the Governor, his future would be in danger.
So, regardless of the objections of Vasily and other officers, he forced the city's musketeers and Leonid's Cossacks to immediately fight out of the city.
It's not that Vasily and others didn't want to save the governor, but the damn Qing people actually dug a trench more than one meter deep outside the city. Their gunmen hid in the trench and fired despicably at the emperor who dared to leave the city. This kind of
The soldiers were devastated by the battle without seeing the enemy. Battles like leaving the city to prevent the opponent from digging trenches had been carried out four times, but each time except for leaving dozens of corpses, nothing was gained. It could neither prevent the opponent from flying dust nor
Fortunately, the city has enough food, enough medicine, and powerful artillery at the top of the city, so Vasily and the others are not worried that the Qing team will break through the city. But no matter what, they will not send soldiers out of the city again.
Come on, the consequences of doing this will have no effect at all, except for the continuous reduction of the troops defending the city.
The Qing people outside the city were obviously well prepared, and Nikita also understood that there was only a 20% chance of success in rushing out from the Qing trenches to meet the governor, but even if it was only 10%, he had to try. For this reason, he
He suppressed all objections, removed the authority of the supreme commander, and strictly ordered all ministries to leave the city immediately. If anyone violated the order, he had the authority to exercise military law on behalf of the Governor.
Leonid didn't take Nikita's order seriously. The experience of fighting against the Qing team three days ago made him no longer despise his opponents as much as before. A third of the Jia people were killed or injured, so he had the idea of conserving his strength.
, otherwise all his people will die, and he will be nothing. Let alone the Russians, I am afraid that even those rabbit-like Buryats will no longer take him seriously.
Leonid was still a bit cunning. He could not openly refuse the order to leave the city. He only said that if the musketeers left the city, they Cossacks would also leave the city, because when he went to Vasily and waited for a group of Russian officers, they all opposed leaving the city. The gun fired.
Leader, Nikita is the highest commander of everyone present. Although he is an official, he still represents the Governor of Nerchinsk and the Tsar of Moscow. He can do it, but if you really want to go against him, I am afraid that these
The Russians who strongly objected to leaving the city would first put a big hat on him. Leonid had no doubt that these Russians would unite to execute him and then quarrel over their differences. So the best way was to just watch and watch.
Dog bites dog.
What Leonid never expected was that Vasily and others actually agreed to Nikita's request to leave the city. This made him unexpected and he didn't understand what was wrong with these Russians. Why did they go even though they knew that leaving the city would mean death?
Are their brains rusty?
Leonid and his Cossacks, who exuded gangster habits, would not understand the thoughts of those regular Russian military service members. He could not understand what discipline was, what obedience was, and what a soldier's nature was. He only knew
If you have breasts, you are a mother. He only knows that whoever gives him money will work for him. Therefore, he has always acted as a robber and thug, and has never been a commander who can decide everything.
The nature of professional soldiers made Vasily and others give up their opinions at the last moment. They silently walked down the city, summoned their men and prepared to leave the city.
Because the words were spoken first, Leonid could not deny what he had just said, so, with all his reluctance, he asked Sver to gather the tribesmen and prepare to try their luck with the Russians. Secretly, Leonid still
With more caution, he told Sver to let the Russians rush in front when leaving the city. According to his gestures, if the Russians broke through the Qing team's defense line, they would follow. If the Russians could not break through, they would symbolically rush forward.
Rush, and then return to the city immediately, no matter what Lord Nikita's order, no matter what the Governor is, no one cares about them if their lives are gone. He is just a Nerchinsk Governor, after Vlasov died
, the Russian Tsar will definitely send another one. There is always a shortage of people who want to be officials in the world, especially those with a very important position. As long as I have troops, the new governor will still value me and give me money.
What you want, Leonid comforted himself like this.
In addition to leaving the necessary troops to defend the city, 600 musketeers and 400 auxiliary troops were organized. After the city gate was slowly opened, Vasily led the frowning officers out of the city. Soldiers
They already knew from the officers that they were going out of the city to fight the Qing people in the trenches again. The failures in the previous battles made them very depressed. Most of them were not good at going out to fight this time. The fact was just as they thought.
When the musketeers advanced to sixty meters away from the opponent's trench, hundreds of muskets protruded from the trench in front of them, and the black muzzle sprayed out deadly lead like a scythe of death...
After leaving more than a hundred corpses behind, the officers agreed that they had done their best. They could not break through the clearing team's defense line at present, and rushing forward would only waste the soldiers in vain. They had already obeyed the order, and they had tried.
, but the emperor would not let them engage in a battle that could not be won at all. In the dissatisfied shouts of the soldiers, Vasilina led his troops back to the city. The Qing team did not pursue them, and even cheered.
No, the hundreds of heads that poked their heads out were buried again.
Leonid's Cossacks were the first to retreat into the city without even a single casualty due to their lack of effort. After Vasily and other officers came back shaking their heads and sighing, Nikita did not blame them or talk to them.
In a word, he was just looking at the northwest direction and lost his mind. More than ten years later, Nikita, who was released and returned to Moscow, submitted a document to Tsar Peter about the combat methods of the Eastern Kwanning Army, which clearly mentioned "trench warfare."
Later, in some parts of Europe, Westerners found out that the Russians liked to dig several deep trenches in front of their camps during defensive battles...
