Beidun's opponent is Sun Guangwei, the Nanling Bo of the Ming Dynasty, a veteran who followed Emperor Guangwu in the southern and northern wars. This Nanling Bo was born as a lieutenant in the Jingjiang Palace. When he was in his twenties, he followed the Holy Lord and rebelled. No, revive Ming Zuo
, now in his forties, having fought for so many years, his war experience is extremely rich.
As soon as he arrived at Yaksa, after observing the terrain, he formulated the strategy of "first extracting the outer perimeter, then occupying the island in the middle of the river, and finally attacking Yakesa".
"Gu Zhong, I command you to lead eight hundred warriors and capture the Rakshasa stronghold in Niuman area within three days, no matter the cost." Marshal Sun ordered Gu Zhong's general.
The Battle of Niumanbao was the first battle for the Ming army to enter Yaksa. The defeat of the first battle greatly affected morale. Therefore, he chose "Yokozuna Gu San" who could fight hard. He also ordered Ruan Jin and Ruan Jun to lead the navy to harass the center of the river.
The ancient city island; Wang Chaoxian, the generals Fu Lehe, Chen Qice, Liu Yipeng, and Wang Xing monitored the city of Yakesa; he led the generals Zhang Qixiang, Deng Yunlong, and Chen Jiusi to hold the battle.
Niumanbao only has one Rakshasa centurion, plus one Wincott centurion, but Gu Zhong who is attacking the city has 800 elites. With 800 against 200, he is supposed to have the advantage. However, this fort uses...
With the European bastion design, either side will be attacked by the other two sides. The Yaksa area is very cold, and dripping water turns into ice. The ice makes the city walls slippery, reducing the lethality of the cannons, and making the siege ladders unstable.
"Boom~boom~boom~" the Ming army's artillery shells began to roar.
"Boom~boom~boom~" Although the Rakshasa people in the fort only had six small cannons, they dared to fight against the hundreds of Ming army cannons outside the fort.
In the artillery battle, the Ming army naturally had the upper hand. The fierce artillery fire suppressed the Rakshasa people from raising their heads.
"The fighter plane has arrived, attack!" Gu Zhong issued the military order.
The sound of killing shook the sky, and eight hundred elite soldiers took three steps and shouted to kill, pushing the ladder truck forward.
However, the structure of the bastion caused big trouble for the Ming army. Soldiers were constantly being shot from both sides and fell down.
In just one hour, the Ming army suffered more than a hundred casualties.
The ordinary Ming army had been repulsed at this time, but Gu Zhong's subordinates, all selected elites, were still able to fight to the death.
"Headquarters, retreat, it won't be too late to attack again tomorrow," a confidant advised Gu Zhong.
"Retreat? Who dares to retreat?"
Gu Zhong became angry, took off his shirt, and with his upper body naked, holding a sharp knife in his mouth, ran towards the ladder. If he didn't take the city, he would rather die.
Seeing that the commander-in-chief was fighting for his life, his subordinates were all excited and roared towards Niumanbao.
"Boom~boom~boom~" Bullets flew across the sky.
As if he hadn't seen him, Gu Zhong had a sharp knife in his mouth and used his hands and feet. He climbed onto the roof of the ladder in a moment, spit out the knife in his hand, and quickly ran up the ladder to the fort. There were several muskets pointed at the fort walls on both sides.
He hit him, and projectiles passed by him from time to time.
Life and death are determined by destiny, wealth is in the sky. "Yokozuna Gu San" was not afraid at all, but ran faster and faster, and jumped onto the fortress wall.
A slashing sword was stabbed in the chest. He snorted coldly, ducked his shoulders, and kicked the enemy with a series of flying kicks. Then there was a large scimitar Taishan pressing on top, and his body came out like a top, and stabbed the enemy's belly with a backhand knife.
The giant ax struck with a whistling sound, and it was the centurion of the Rakshasa people.
Seeing that the ax weighed seven to eighty kilograms, Gu Zhong praised it, "What a strength." He avoided the force of the ax and used all his strength to move a thousand kilograms in four or two.
The centurion's center of gravity was unbalanced, his body swayed, and then he lost his head.
The Rakshasa people in the fort have no generals and are in chaos, either dead or surrendered.
"What a great Gu San. He killed the enemy general in formation, which should be remembered as a great achievement." Sun Guangwei, who was watching the battle below the city, was overjoyed.
Gu Zhong was not happy. Although the attack was successful, the casualties were too high. The 800 carefully selected warriors actually suffered more than 200 casualties. The Rakshasa ghosts in the fort suffered more than 100 casualties, and more than 70 people surrendered.
.
"Kill all these captives." Seeing the heavy casualties among his men, Gu Pirate ordered them to be killed.
"You can't do it in the main town. Killing and surrendering violates military regulations." All the commanders and governors in the army tried to persuade him.
Gu Zhong glared, his eyes as wide as copper coins, "We'll kill him, what, you want to record our black account?"
After saying that, he held the handle of the knife and stroked it gently.
Nadu Zhenfu made his heart tremble. This ancestor was a murderer. He was used to lawlessness. If he really wanted to record this matter, he might not be able to save his life. He quickly changed his smile and said, "How can you, Chief Zhen, what happened today?
I pretended I didn’t see it.”
"You're a wise boy," Gu Zhong snorted coldly, released his hand from the handle of the knife, and went to watch his subordinates kill each other. In fact, there was nothing interesting to see, it was just stabbing with a gun and cutting with a knife. In a short time, more than seventy people were killed.
The soldiers were surrendered and all were slaughtered.
In terms of casualties, the Battle of Niumanbao was a failure for the Ming army, which suffered slightly more casualties than the Rakshasa people. However, from the perspective of improving morale, the Ming army overthrew Yaksa's peripheral stronghold Niumanbao in just one day, and the battle was a complete defeat.
It boosted the morale of the Ming army and severely damaged the prestige of the Rakshasa army. It was a great victory, a truly great victory!
Sun Guangwei was a fierce general who was best at making quick moves. As soon as he captured Niuman Fort, he ordered Ruan Jin's navy to go up the Heilongjiang River and attack the ancient city island in the river. He could see clearly that as long as he captured the ancient city island and set up a stand on the island
It is not difficult to capture Yaksa by bombarding the city and advancing by land and water.
Beidun was shocked. He was really evil. He would come to whatever he was afraid of. He was not afraid of the Ming army attacking the city, but he was afraid of the Ming army attacking the island. With the ancient city island, logistics supplies could be continuously imported into the city along the Heilongjiang River. This island was lost.
, he would be trapped and die in Yaksa City. He gritted his teeth, leaving only 400 soldiers to guard the city, and personally led 900 people to guard the ancient city island.
When the enemy changes, we also change. When Sun Guangwei saw that the Rakshasa people had transferred the main force to Jiangxin Island, he immediately changed the direction of the main attack and stormed Yaksa City.
He seized on the weakness of the Rakshasa people's lack of troops and wanted to make it difficult for the enemy to look after each other. According to this strategy, it is not difficult to quickly capture Yaksa.
The difficult thing is that luck, or God's will, is always elusive.
The reinforcements sent to Yaksa by Franzbekov, the governor of the Yakutsk military district, and the 600 musketeers led by the Yakutsk governor Ivan Padelin, arrived.
"Commander, the last general is requesting reinforcements to stop the Rakshasa ghosts." General Liu Yipeng asked for battle.
"No, let them enter the city," Sun Guangwei said with a smile: "This group of Rakshasa ghosts coming from Yakutsk has a long journey, and they probably don't bring much food. In the ice and snow, supplies are not easy, so let them enter the city to consume the enemy's food." When he saw Pajelin, Beidun cried with joy, thinking that his piety had moved God, and said with a smile: "Manager Pajelin, I will guard the ancient city island, and you will guard Yaksa. Let's support each other."
Pajelin readily agreed.
Good luck often comes endlessly. Just when Beidun was weeping with joy, another supporting force came to Yaksa City. Arshensky, the governor of Nerchinsk, and Solon, the leader of Daur, led 300 Cossacks and 1,000 Daur soldiers.
Arriving from Nerchinsk.
Beidun repeatedly called for God's blessing and was busy hosting a banquet in honor of Arshensky and Sauron. At the banquet, he asked Arshensky with a smile: "Your Excellency, the Governor, do you have any instructions for the war situation?"
Arshensky poked the entrance of a piece of deer breast with a fork, devoured it hungrily, and then said loudly: "General Vlasov asked me to tell you that the city of Yaksa must be defended at all costs."
