Chapter 569: The Battle of Nebuchu
"Dai Shan, didn't you say that this damned Ming army will fight me a decisive battle after plundering the villages and towns? What about people? Vladimir Norton's finger almost poked into the people of Daishan. {with}{dream} щww{suimеng][com}
Shrinking into the city of Tailun and letting the Ming army wreak havoc on the territory of the Rakshasa Kingdom has made him extremely uncomfortable, and his subjects have been plundered on a large scale, and this news will definitely be unfavorable to him when it reaches Moscow.
I wanted to finish my work in one battle, but what about people now? Not only did people not fight with you, but they ran away, who to reason with?
"Lord Norton, the king of Anguo is already scheming and does not play his cards according to common sense, perhaps...... He estimated that the purpose of fleeing west was to lead your army out. ”
Dai Shan didn't dare to show it even if he was angry in his heart, and now it was very unbearable to send people under the fence, if he turned his face and lost his shelter at this time, the Ming army would definitely not let him go.
"Hmph, we can't wait any longer, someone! Rectify the army, Ben Hou wants to go out of the city to fight! Norton made up his mind and spoke up to the guards beside him.
"There is an old saying in the Ming Dynasty, if you can't bear it, you will make a big plan, Norton, this matter should not be hasty." Morozov only had one battle with Da Ming, and he didn't even know what Liu Hong looked like.
But he believes in Dai Shan, after all, this old man has fought with Daming for many years, and he has fought many times with this king of Anguo.
"Morozov, are you worried that I will win Norton so that I can take the credit from you? Don't forget, we are the soldiers of the Rakshasa Kingdom first, and then we have private hatred, don't let some of the priorities spoil the military affairs! Norton exclaimed.
"It is precisely because of His Majesty's heart that I, Morozov, have such kind words to persuade me, the firearms of the Ming army are extremely strange, and I have to guard against them!"
"Don't talk nonsense, do you want the Ming army to slaughter the subjects of my Rakshasa country? When it comes to Moscow, will you bear the blame for this crime? Norton replied with a few straight words, and Morozov and Daishan were speechless.
"Since you were frightened by the Ming army, stay and guard this Lun City! It is enough to destroy this group of Ming troops, my own legion. Norton thought for a moment.
"Listen to me." Being so despised and slandered by Norton, Morozov was also furious.
"It's just that I'm going to take all the artillery from this city." Since Tailun City is newly built, the artillery at the head of the city is also the most advanced new artillery in the Rakshasa Kingdom, which is undoubtedly a considerable help.
"You ......" Morozov didn't expect Norton to come back with such a move, no matter how strong the defense of Lingbao is, without artillery, it is like a tiger that has lost its fangs, what attack power can it have?
"It seems that the Dimitri family is really in decline, what about your Morozov's guts? Hum! Norton sneered and snorted and went down the wall.
……
Nebuchu region.
"My lord, further west is the realm of Nebuchu, the soldiers have been tired from fighting in the past few days, so they should repair here." On the war horse, Chang Yu took a sip of water from the kettle.
"Well, it's time to rest, and by the way, wait for the Rakshasa team behind." Liu Hong gradually waved his hand to signal the army to stop.
As early as two days ago, Xie Xinghua came to the news that the army of Tailun City was dispatched, but at that time, Liu Hongjian had lost interest in fighting against the Rakshasa Kingdom.
Now it's good to take the troops to fight the jungle every day, and a few days to come to the villages of the Rakshasa country to clear the country, not only solved the supply problem of the Ming army, but even a lot more, and each soldier's spare horse was full of beef and mutton jerky.
Originally, I wanted to lead this group of Rakshasa team to Jiuwen Mountain and then make plans, but the marching speed of this group of Rakshasa team was as slow as an ox, and he slowly advanced westward while looting, and the Rakshasa team was stunned and didn't keep up.
Hearing that a hundred miles to the west is Nebuchu, Liu Hongjian simply chose the decisive battle location here, and he still has some impressions of the name Nebuchu.
Most of you who have studied history know that the first treaty signed between China and Russia was the Treaty of Nebuchu, and that treaty even stipulated that Nebuchu was assigned to Tsarist Russia.
This made Liu Hongjian very unhappy, the war was obviously won, but the wild boar skins were really generous, and gave up Nebuchu for the Ussuri River region.
This Nebuchu is also our Chinese territory!
"Kong Er was stunned, where did the cannon go?" Liu Hong gradually turned back to Kong Ermao, who followed.
Since he had been fighting guerrilla warfare and penetrated deep into the hinterland of the Rakshasa country, the Tatar Strait was too far away, and the cannons were still floating in the Tatar Sea, so Liu Hong gradually had to transfer artillery from the northeastern province.
It's just that the road is long, and the supply of ammunition such as cannons and grenades has not been in place.
"My lord, according to the Sentinel Cavalry, the distance is far away and you have to avoid the Sentinels of the Rakshasa Country, and it will take at least five days for the cannon to reach here." Kong Er said depressedly.
has been wandering around the territory of the Rakshasa country for half a month, and his artillery battalion not only didn't shoot a single shot, but also didn't even have artillery.
However, fortunately, looting villages and towns did not consume much ammunition, and the grenades in the army were enough to support a big battle.
Three days later, the belated Rakshasa team finally appeared in the field of vision of the Ming army.
The main force of the Ming army was 20,000 musketeers and 20,000 cavalry on the side of Mudan Mountain.
For more than half a month, the soldiers of the Red Pants Legion were all red and radiant, and the Allied soldiers were also fierce.
"Anatoly, array!" Rakshasa camp, Norton ordered.
"Ula ~ Ula ~ ~ Ula ~~" The Caucasian musketeers of the Rakshasa country shouted slogans and formed several phalanxes.
The musket phalanx of the Rakshasa Kingdom is different from the spear and musket phalanx of Franc Ji, which is a typical pure musket nine-stage strike phalanx.
Each phalanx was divided into nine groups of one hundred and fifty musketeers, each group was divided into three rows, one row of firing on their stomachs, one row crouching, one row standing, and immediately after one round of attacks they got up and exchanged ammunition with the rear group.
"Joey, is the artillery ready?"
"All eighty cannons are in place, Lord Marquis." Joey bowed.
"Let's go over there! The artillery corps must keep up! Norton decided to attack.
The muskets of the Rakshasa Kingdom did not hit as far as the muskets of the Ming Dynasty, and the reason why the march was so slow was because of these eighty artillery.
Because the Ming army has been fighting guerrillas, there are no sharp weapons such as artillery in the army, and it is precisely because of this that Norton dares to go out of the city to fight.
After all, the attack distance of the grenade is only far, as long as the artillery and musket are properly matched, the Ming army will not be able to take advantage of it at all.
"Onward! For Moscow! Norton commanded, drawing his crossbow.
"My lord, the Rakshasa Kingdom has attacked, and they are in the back row...... It seems that there are artillery! Chang Yu stood on a high slope and exclaimed with a telescope.
"What's the hurry, this has long been expected by this king." Liu Hong gradually rode on the horse, and naturally saw the swarthy Rakshasa Artillery Battalion in the back row.
"The whole army obeys the order, retreat slowly in the direction of the Mudan Valley, don't mess up the formation, withdraw slowly, just keep it at a safe distance!" Liu Hong said calmly.
