evil slave

When the raft was still a few meters away from the river, Qi Zhuang had already jumped into the water and ran to the bank first. The sergeants behind him followed suit and all jumped off the raft and rushed to the bank with the regiment leader. [] 160 sergeants rushed to the shore at the fastest speed, and assembled into a battle formation according to the usual training. About [-] firecrackers lined up at the front, aiming their firecrackers at the Guli River city.

"alert!"

"Stay in formation!"

The officers of the first batch of teams who crossed the river shouted loudly. Under the command of the regiment captain, they kept a close eye on the movement of the Rakshasa people in the city. Once they found that the Rakshasa people showed signs of leaving the city, they should immediately organize troops to drive them back. .

From crossing the river to the shore, the Raksha people in Gulihe City seemed to think that the Guanning Army did not exist, and had no intention of intervening at all. After the first batch of sergeants lined up, Qi Zhuang immediately turned the wooden platoons back to carry the follow-up troops. cross the river.

As long as these 160 people can stand firmly by the river, all the troops of the three brigades can cross the river. By then, the Guli River will be in the possession of Guanning's army.Looking at the wooden raft that had reached the middle of the river, Qi Zhuang let out a long sigh of relief.

...............

"My lord, the Qing people don't have many firecrackers. I am sure to drive them back to Guli River."

At the top of the city, Chekov once again proposed to Tokolowski that he lead a team of musketeers out of the city to drive the Qing people who crossed the river down the river.When he came and went, he always felt that it was a shame for the emperor to let the Qing people cross the river swaggeringly.Moreover, from the chanting of the Qing soldiers just now, he felt a fighting spirit that was completely different from the Qing troops he had seen before, as if the bravery of this army was no less than that of the soldiers of the Russian Empire.To be on the safe side, he thought it would be better to keep those Qing people on the other side of the river.

"Chekov, there is no need to do anything extra, just let them cross the river." Tokolowski still insisted on simply defending the city, and he rejected any suggestion to go out of the city to fight.Several other officers held opinions on the law to prevent the Qing team from crossing the river, and they neither supported Chekov nor agreed with the law of the city guard.Seeing that the city guard still refused to accept his opinion, Chekov shook his head in disappointment, turned to those Qing people and stopped talking.

"My lord, there are more and more cleaning teams crossing the river. For the sake of safety, please go down to the city, and we will guard here." Musketeer Captain Vasilyski saw more and more cleaning teams crossing the river, holding a There are also more and more soldiers with fire guns, and they can't help but worry about the safety of the city guard.In case any blind lead hits the city guard, according to the military law, the officers of Gulihe City must bear the responsibility, especially if the dead is a commander personally appointed by His Majesty the Tsar, then the officers The punishment to be received is more severe.

"Yes, master, it's not safe here, you'd better go below the city." Ale'er was also a little worried that the master would be hurt by the Qing people.

Tokolowski gave Vasiliski a thankful glance: "No, thank you for your kindness, but as the guard of Guli River personally appointed by His Majesty the Tsar, my duty is to live and die with the city, so when the enemy is about to attack , as the supreme commander, I cannot leave my post no matter what.” After speaking, he smiled at Ale’er: “This is my duty, do you understand, but you are not a soldier, so, my lovely Ale Son, you don't have to stay here."

A Le'er nodded and thought for a while, half understanding, and said softly: "The master's duty is to live and die with Gulihe City, so A Le'er's duty is to live and die with the master, so I can't leave the master's side. Master, are you right?"

"This..." Tokolowski patted Ale'er on the shoulder affectionately. He liked this boy from the bottom of his heart, so he didn't want Ale'er to stay here any longer. However, in five years, let him He also knew the boy's heart very well, he knew that A Le'er would not leave him.

"Soldiers will be there for the bravery of the city guard. I think all the soldiers will be encouraged by his example."

Vasilisky is a very pragmatic person. When he saw Tokolowski refusing to go on, he immediately changed his rhetoric, praised the bravery of the city guard, and affirmed without any doubt: "Don't worry, my lord, those Qing people will definitely be in Guli. Hecheng will be bloodied!" After speaking, he turned his attention to the musketeers who were on guard, and shouted: "Soldiers, let the Qing people see the bravery of the Tsar's army against the enemy!"

The musketeers who were concentrating on clearing the team heard Vasiliski's shout, all turned around, raised their muskets, and yelled in unison: "Ulla!"

Perhaps infected by the head of the city, the Ewenki people below the city and the male residents also cheered loudly together, and the shouts of "Ula" resounded throughout the entire Gulihe City.The birds in the surrounding mountains were startled by the screaming and flew away from the branches, and the little beasts were also scared and ran deep into the dense forest.

However, Chekov and several other officers showed disdain for Vasilisky's behavior, and they all thought of this sycophant unanimously.

The shouts from the city also alarmed the Guan Ning army. The soldiers looked at the top of the city in doubt, not understanding what these Rakshasa people were shouting, but the faces of some officers changed suddenly. I am afraid that it will be a fierce battle when the horses attack the city.

These Raksha people are not fuel-efficient lamps, hum, but no matter how stubborn you are, I am determined to win this Gulihe City!Qi Zhuang snorted coldly, and asked his soldiers to urge the raft to speed up. All gunners had to be transported across the river first, and the others would transport them later.

………………

The wooden raft can only transport 160 sergeants back and forth, and each trip takes half a stick of incense time. After all the soldiers have been transported across the river, the sun has already reached the sun. Because there is no shelter by the river, the soldiers are too hot. Sweating, except for the necessary garrison, the others were waiting for the commander's attack order while they were in the Guli River.

The wooden raft can only transport two horses at a time. If all the horses are transported, it will be dark, so after the soldiers have crossed the river, Qi Zhuang decides to attack.

"I order!"

"The blunderbuss brigade attacked one by one, suppressing the blunderbusses of the Raksha people, and covering the spear brigade to knock down the city gates of the Raksha people!"

Qi Zhuang has already observed that the walls of Gulihe City are not thick, and the city gates are not big iron gates, but just wooden skins wrapped in iron sheets. If they are knocked down with rough wood by manpower, the gate will inevitably collapse if there are too many times. , There is no need to bother about making siege equipment such as ladders, as long as they can beat the Rakshasa people out of their heads, the city gate can be knocked open.

"attack!"

Under the order of the team leader Lin Jiafeng's Sichuan accent, the firecrackers lined up in five rows and slowly approached Gulihe City.Followed by the spear brigade, thirty sergeants in it carried a huge log and moved forward with difficulty.

Gulihe City had four walls, and Qi Zhuang no longer considered launching an attack on the other three walls at the same time, but gathered all his forces to attack the south city, vowing to succeed in one blow.

"The Qing people are about to attack, soldiers, prepare to fight!"

Tokolowski issued a combat order while the Guanning Army was attacking.The musketeers checked the condition of the matchlock powder again, and some young musketeers worriedly compacted the gunpowder in the barrel again.There were hundreds of musketeers in the clearing team on the opposite side. Looking at their long formation, the hearts of the officers were in their throats, and Tokolowski's nose was dripping with sweat.The opponent's general's intentions could not be clearer. They just wanted to use the gunners in front to suppress the firepower at the top of the city, and then let those spearmen break through the gate of the Guli River.

After confirming the intention of clearing the team, all the musketeers were gathered at the south gate, and the other gates were guarded by Evenkis.

"For His Majesty the Tsar, fire!"

"Guan Ning's army is victorious, open fire!"

Almost at the same moment, the officer's call for orders sounded from under the city at the same time, followed by the sound of "bang, bang, bang" firecrackers.

The effective range of the Guanning Army's firecrackers was only 80 meters, and the effective range of the Russian army's firecrackers was also within this range. Therefore, after the Guanning Army's firecracker brigade marched to the firing range of the firecrackers, the two sides fired at the same time.

The musketeers of the Russian army are experienced, and their shooting is very effective. In the first round of shooting, dozens of Qing soldiers in the first row on the opposite side fell down, and they only had a dozen casualties. Said the Russian team achieved an overwhelming victory.

However, what the Russian army didn't expect was that before their cheers sounded, the Qing people fired another round of firecrackers. Fired the third round of firecrackers.

"Oh my god, what kind of tactics are the Qing people using!"

Tokolowski heard the roar in his ears, looked at the black smoke below the city and the musketeers who were busy preparing to charge the powder, and felt incredible.In the shooting just now, all the Russian soldiers fired their firecrackers, but the Qing people didn't seem to do so.

"put!"

"put!"

Under the order of the officer, the gunners in the fourth and fifth rows fired their guns towards the city without interruption, while the gunners in the first, second and third rows squatted on the spot and quickly loaded their guns.

The height of the city wall of the Guli River is only three meters. The gunners of the Guanning Army only need to raise the muzzle slightly to suppress the city with firepower.The dense firecrackers made the Russian army at the top of the city dare not stand up, and hid behind the city wall uneasy. Although the firecrackers of the Qing people did not kill many people, the roar produced by the continuous shooting was enough to make the Russians The gunners were terrified.

Damn, why didn't I think the musketeer could be used like this!Tokolowski hammered the city wall with some regret, and poked his head out cautiously. He saw that the gunmen from the Qing Dynasty had already reached 30 meters. Shooting from the top of the city, the spearmen of the Qing Dynasty in the back carried the giant wood to a place less than 20 meters below the city, and if they were allowed to move closer, they would directly hit the city gate.
