Siege
Chapter 915:Siege
? After eating, the Ming Army walked out of the camp by the river under the leadership of middle-level officers and set up in five miles from Nebuchu City.The Russian army in the city also went out of the city to rely on the city wall, lined up in three columns, ready to compete with the Ming army.
The commander of the Ming Army, Duan Fei, stood at the back of the team and looked at the Russian army in the queue and said, “Old Sang, have you not met the Russians in Europe?”
Sanchez heard Duan Fei turn his eyes and said: "Your Excellency, Russia is in the far north, tens of thousands of miles away from Lisbon, and our Spanish army has not fought the Russians!"Besides, these Slavic slaves were not worthy to fight against the noble Spanish soldiers!”
Spain is now the first power in Europe, although it has just been beaten by the Netherlands and the United Kingdom, but after all, the skeleton is still there, naturally can not see the Slavic slaves.
Duan Fei heard Sanchez say with a smile and asked, “Oh?Why are you so defeated by the Netherlands and England?”
Sanchez said: "General, please do not insult the noble Spanish soldiers, the British pirates, the Dutch vendors, they will only use tricks, if you are honest with my Spanish Armada, we will never lose!" 」
Duan Fei listened to Sanchez angry and did not ask, after all, although Sanchez likes to brag, but it is not bad for people, drinking and gambling money has never been slippery, can be regarded as one of the friends of the flight.
"Well, old San, I know you Spanish soldiers are great, so be it!"You see the Russians on the other side are also decent, you say who can win this battle?”
Sanchez looked across and said, "Your excellency, the Russians are not as good as our army in terms of numbers and weapons, of course, my army can win, but also ask the general to be careful of the other cavalry, the Cossack cavalry is very strong, now the Russian army are out of the city, but they did not come out, be careful they are lying around to prepare for the attack!"
The segment flew and nodded, which was careful to beware, the Cossack cavalry was very strong, but his own group of Orochun cavalry bullshit was not, and the Cossacks lost more and more than they won.Think of this time flying to the vice general He Luo will say: "old man, a moment to open the fire you should be careful of the Cossack cavalry, and you clear the army was so powerful, these Orochun people are not like your relatives, the battle is a little unscathed to escape, old you do not soft hands, do not use the guard team to kill a dozen deserters!"
Horo will naturally not be surnamed, but now there is no way, people have to bow down under the roof, He Luo will listen to the paragraph of the flight said quickly assured: "Please rest assured, the end will be to supervise those Orochun people, will ensure that our army's flanks!"
Duan Fei picked up the telescope to look at the Russians opposite, and saw that the Russian soldiers were wearing all kinds of clothes, not even a unified military uniform, except for these Russians' weapons were very simple, and half of the two thousand people outside the city used cold weapons.Duan Fei pointed to the opposite Russian scornfully and said, "These poor Russian ghosts, even these soldiers dare to invade me?"
In fact, Duan Fei does not understand the situation of the European army, now the mainstream army in Europe are cold weapons and muskets mixed, even the military power Sweden can not do the full firearms force, of course, not these European countries have no money, but now most of the European muskets are muskets, shooting accuracy is not fast, so equipment a certain amount of cold weapons is the right way, Europe to equip all firearms to wait for a hundred years after the seven years of the war to do.
Duan Fei saw that the army opposite him and his expectations were very large, and he was not ready to look down, and Duan Fei said to the summoner behind him: "Start, order the artillery to fire!"
The order of the section of the flight was passed, the artillery first fired the gun, and then the infantry began to march at a neat pace.
The shelling of the Ming army made the Russians startled, and I did not expect that the Ming Army had so many artillery on the opposite side, and there were hundreds of voices heard, while the Russians had only less than 20 districts on the side.
Seeing that his hands were unstable, the Russian commander-in-chief Bashkov, who was standing at the head of the city, sighed and said, "I really did not expect the Ming army to have so many artillery, so give orders to let Beketov attack!"Bashkov is a commander with extensive combat experience, he knows that it is too early to send Cossack cavalry, but he can't do it, and if the Ming army holds such fire for a while, his front will collapse, and he can't have to send ambush in advance.
The Cossacks, who were ambush in the woods, received orders to rush out of the woods on horses and rushed past the Ming army line beyond two miles.
The Ming army was also already prepared, and He Luo, a Heilongjiang general, would personally take the two hundred Manchurian eight flags of the Baga, and rushed over and fought with the Cossacks.
Duan Fei looked at the Orochun cavalry, today these natives took out the strength to feed, probably just now their own death orders have had an effect, the flanks do not have to worry about the segment of the flight began to focus on the front battlefield.
Ming and the Russian army are now two eras of the army, the Russian army is still in the ancient cold weapons, soldiers training and equipment are not good, but the Ming army has basically reached the level of modern army, this battle is naturally not good-looking.
As soon as the two armies came into contact with the Russian army, they were killed by large numbers of guns, and the Russian rifles did not kill several Ming soldiers because of the accuracy problem.Immediately after the defeat of the Russian army, the city gate was opened and retreated into the city, ready to rely on the solid city walls against the Ming Army.
The Russians could not hide in the city, which could make the passage fly out of the way.Because Duan Fei is not familiar with the European army, he has little understanding of this European castle.Duan Fei also thought that Nibu Chu and Jacques Sa are a brick and wood structure, so the heavy artillery is not a belt, and now there are many guns in the hands of the section, more than a hundred, but they are all that kind of light field guns.
This kind of artillery is naturally no problem with the wooden house of Jacsar, but there is no way to build a castle with a stone.
The section flew around Nebu Chu with artillery bombardment for half a day, in addition to knocking off some slags, the city wall was not damaged at all.On the contrary, because the range and power of the field artillery are not as good as the heavy artillery of the Russian guard city, they ate a small loss, and the field guns were destroyed by the Russians.
Duan Fei saw that Nibu Chu was close to him, but he could not enter, and couldn't help but be very angry, and asked Sanchez, "Old Sang, you are a European, what good way do you have?"
There was nothing good for Sanchez, except for the use of heavy artillery, and the only way to deal with this European bastion was to besiege and starve all the people in the city to death.
"Your excellency, there is no heavy gun, there is only siege!"
Duan Fei looked at the size of the city of Nibuchu, the army's twelve pounds of guns may not be able to do, only the Navy's eighteen pounds of guns, but Nibuchu here is located inland, the Navy's thousands of tons of warships really can not enter, there is no way to besieged.
Immediately after Duan Fei's decision, he sent a request to Zhao Guodong in Shenyang, saying the actual situation again, and at the same time reported to Zhao Guodong's decision to prepare for the siege here in Nibu Chu, hoping that the governor would approve it.
Duan Fei attacked Nibu Chu in mid-July, the Ming Dynasty used the lunar calendar, according to the Gregorian calendar is now September.Nibu Chu is far away in the Great North Xing'anling area, which is already very cold in September, and it starts to snow at night.Duan Fei organized his men to build the city, and ordered the surrounding ethnic minority tribes to help the siege, while waiting for the order of Shenyang.
Zhao Guodong only received the situation of the segment of flying in September, Zhao Guodong is now made cautious by the emperor, after receiving the news of the flight did not dare to take charge, and quickly reported the situation of the section to the military aircraft office, everything or let the emperor decide it!
It took another half a month for the order to reach the Beijing military aircraft office, and it was almost October after Zhu Hongsan saw the situation of the segment.What can I do at this time?The northeast of October has been snowy, not to mention the north of Nibu Chu, Zhu Hongsan sighed the command section of the flight can besieged Nibuchu, while ordering Zhao Guodong must ensure a good section of the flight of the logistics supplies.
In this way, the segment flew with 5,000 people outside the city of Nibu Chu for the winter, although the section of the flight supplies are sufficient, and the surrounding northeast indigenous help, but the soldiers of the section of the flight are mostly Guangdong and Zhejiang people, the harsh climate of the northeast is not prepared, in the coldest December a large number of soldiers because of frostbite and attrition, more than 50 people died of frostbite.
Duan Fei has not been able to spend the long winter in the northeast, in the spring blooming in May, after statistics this winter, the section of the flight lost more than 300 soldiers, which can be greater than the combat loss.Fortunately, the winter has passed, the Heilongjiang waterway has been unimpeded, and the first supply and reinforcements from Jilin have arrived, in addition to these, Zhao Guodong has destroyed the nine cattle and two tigers to bring five sieges to the city.
This kind of big guy is different from the kind of cannon used by the Navy, this special heavy gun barrel is only one meter long, but the caliber is half a meter long, and a shell weighs seventy pounds, but this big guy has a range of very close, only 500 meters.
The reinforcements arrived, Duan Feimo fist was ready to fight, this time must take Nibuchu down.
Time into June, the ground around Nibu Chu has been hardened, can facilitate heavy artillery operations, while the section flying outside the city of Nibuchu has been built, so the section decided to attack on June 20.
The arrival of the Ming Army's reinforcements made the city of Nebuchu a cloud of worry, although the kind of cannon that has not been seen does not know the power, but it is not a good thing at a glance.At the same time, the Russian commander-in-chief Bashkov's request for reinforcements did not come at all, only a letter from the governor of Yakutsk, Franz Bekov, who was fighting with the Poles on the other side of Moscow, and all the troops had been transferred back to the country.
Governor Franz Bekov made it clear in his letter that reinforcements were not available and that they could surrender if they could not be held.
When Bashkov received the letter, he laughed bitterly, and now there were less than a thousand troops in the city, but there were five thousand men in the Ming Army opposite, plus the new reinforcements, and the powerful cannon, so Bashkov decided to surrender after careful consideration.
