At night, a few dark shadows flashed across the reeds along the river. [ ] The torches at the top of Yaksa City not far away were flickered by the breeze blowing from the river.
"Sir, it's too dangerous, let the slaves go!"
"You can't do this, I can only do this."
After repeatedly checking the patrol situation of the defenders on the city wall, Guilu nodded secretly and told the several Geshiha around him: "Give me the things, stay here, and don't follow, Rakshasa people.
The fire blunderbuss has no eyesight."
"Sir, let the minions go! It's okay to let the minions go with the master, and there will be someone to take care of you. The master is going alone, and if something happens, there won't even be anyone to take care of him..."
"Yes, sir, it's not like the minions haven't climbed across the city, so just let the minions go!"
How could the Geshhars let their master go alone? They all asked to climb the wall with Guilu and enter the city. They were all subordinates who had followed Guilu for many years and were loyal. Now they were watching helplessly as their master was in danger, but they wanted to stay.
How can I not be in a hurry while waiting here?
Guilu glanced at them. He knew what the slaves were thinking, but this matter was not a trivial matter and could not go wrong, so he could only go alone.
"Okay, don't talk anymore. I'd better go to this kind of thing myself. If there are too many people there, it will be bad. Give me the things quickly!"
"twitter!"
Seeing that the Chief Counselor insisted on going in person, several Goshiha had no choice but to hand him the "gecko claw" equipped with a wall-climbing device.
Guilu tested the hardness of the rope, tightened his belt, and then took advantage of the cover of night and reeds to sneak under the city of Yaksa, and then climbed to the top of the city while the Rakshasa patrol at the top of the city was passing by.
"Sir, be careful!"
Several Geshiha shouted in unison as Guilu walked away, but Guilu's body was only slightly startled, and he ducked forward without hesitation.
God is also helping me tonight. The moon and stars are hidden deep in the clouds. It is pitch black between heaven and earth. Except for the firelight at the top of the city, everything is dark as far as the eye can see. Guilu is an expert in art and is bold, and God is helping me.
, he believed that he would be able to sneak into the city successfully, and then sneak out successfully. He was still very confident in his own skills. Back then, because he dared to sneak into Hengyang City alone, he was promoted from the vest to the leader, and his official career was prosperous.
, became the deputy chief of staff of the Zhenghuang Banner. Now that the imperial court is using troops to serve the country, it is the time for the men of the Eight Banners to serve the country. If the commander needs it, how can he not go all out! Even if he dies, he will be worthy of his ancestors and emperors!
After waiting patiently for about half a stick of incense, Guilu finally waited until the Rakshasa patrol left. Guilu hurriedly ran to the corner in three steps and two steps at a time. He listened attentively for a moment and put the "gecko claw" on
He shook his hand gently, took a sudden sharp breath, and threw the gecko claw towards the top of the city with a groan. The gecko claw was wrapped in coarse cloth, so after throwing it towards the top of the city and hooking the bricks, it just made a quiet sound.
sound.
After listening carefully for a while, Guilu breathed a sigh of relief. He pulled the rope hard to make sure it wouldn't fall off, and then climbed up to the top of the city by stepping on the wall.
One foot, two feet... After climbing to a height of more than ten feet above the ground, no one found him. After climbing a few more steps, he could reach the top of the city! Guilu was excited for a while, but soon he found that he seemed to be unable to go any further.
Climbing up, because just when he was stopping, several black firecrackers suddenly appeared from the top of the city and pointed at him. Accompanying the firecrackers was a fire. Under the light of the fire, Guilu could clearly see
He saw several red-haired and green-eyed Rakshasa ghosts pointing at him with evil smiles on their faces.
"Tatars of the Qing Dynasty, you are finished."
After hearing this harsh Chinese voice coming from the top of the city, Guilu's heart sank, and he instinctively wanted to fall down, but everything was too late. Soon, Goshiha in the reeds and the Qing army in the distance came.
The entire camp heard a majestic roar and several blasts of firecrackers that resounded through the night sky.
"Your Majesty, this slave has served the country with all his loyalty!"
"well!"
In the military camp, Peng Chun slammed his fist on the table, his eyes filled with tears. Lang Tan, Ma La and other generals also gritted their teeth and clenched their fists tightly.
"At three o'clock in the morning, the army attacks the city! This general wants to avenge Guilu!"
At three o'clock in the morning, the war drums sounded three times, and Peng Chun personally led his troops into formation and ordered Sabusu's right army to attack the city. At the top of the city, Tolbuzin and a group of Russian officers looked disdainfully at the Qing troops who were arranging their troops.
Qing people, come! Let Yaksa become your eternal nightmare!
"Herschov, I'll leave this to you. I think I have to take a rest first."
To the surprise of all his subordinates, Tolbuzin, as the supreme commander, actually wanted to go to the city, which made them a little incredible.
Herschov lost his voice and said: "Master City Guard, the Qing team is about to attack. How can you not be here at this time?"
"Don't worry, the Qing people can't get in without the help of artillery. Their attack will definitely fail." Tolbuzin patted Herschov on the shoulder encouragingly: "I believe you, you can definitely do it.
Take charge of this battle!"
Receiving Tolbuzin's affirmation and encouragement, Herschov quickly performed a military salute and said loudly: "Yes, Lord City Guard!"
Not even a moment after Tolbuzin left the city, the beating of war drums sounded again from the Qing army's camp.
"The Qing team is attacking!"
"Enter the combat position and check your muskets!"
“Let’s see how we Qing people became meat skewers!”
"Ha ha!"
The arrogant laughter of the Russian musketeers rang out from the top of the city.
Zuo led Urtu and took 380 flag soldiers as the vanguard and rushed towards the southern city of Yaksana in the main direction of attack. Before they got close to the city gate, they were blocked by Russian artillery fire. Half of them were killed or injured before they got close to the city gate.
The Russian army was condescending, and every move of the Qing army was clearly visible. They were attacked on one side and fought back on three sides. The firing of muskets could not stop from the beginning, hitting one by one. The eight hundred defenders in the city were all following Tolbuzin.
Most of them were veterans who had been exiled to the East for several years. Their guns were very accurate. With a burst of gunfire, dozens of Qing soldiers fell.
Poor Wu Ertu led three hundred and eight banner soldiers, and most of them died without even touching the city gate. Only he and more than thirty frightened Qing soldiers were left huddled under the city wall, avoiding Rakshasa.
A human blunderbuss, while desperately waving the flag to the rear, asking for reinforcements.
Seeing that Wuertu's attack was unfavorable and that most of his men were dead and wounded and it was difficult to break through the city gate, Sabusu quickly asked one of the archers of his subordinates to shoot arrows at the top of the city, and sent another one of his subordinates to lead a feint attack, thereby attracting the attention of the Rakshasa people at the top of the city.
Keep your eyes open so that Wuertu and the others can withdraw.
"Tell General Sa that the battle cannot stop. Send three more subordinates to escort them and use their bows and arrows to suppress the Rakshasa people's fire blunderbuss!"
"Send orders to the firearms battalion to immediately support the Heilongjiang Army!"
Peng Chun, who was watching the battle, saw that Sabu showed signs of retreating, so he hurriedly sent his own soldiers to convey the order not to retreat. At the same time, he ordered the entire firearms battalion to suppress the troops so that the Rakshasa fire guns could not show off their power.
This is the first battle to attack Yaksa. No matter what, we must not end up with a disastrous defeat! Peng Chun did not hope to capture Yaksa in just one battle, but hoped to attack the Rakshasa forces as much as possible and find out
Their details are used to determine the troop deployment for the general offensive.
