Chapter 855: The most important thing is the sense of ceremony
"I'd better go!" Baba volunteered.
After the soldiers came to the city, persuading people to surrender was the process before Liu Hong's gradual siege, and the result was not important, the most important thing was to have a sense of ceremony.
Take the tsar to the city for a walk, and it can be regarded as a point in the hearts of the Rakshasas who defend the city, your tsar is in the hands of Lao Tzu, and those who know each other will open the city and surrender to me, even those who don't know each other will also throw a mouse bogey.
Among the six or seven large and small cities captured in the past half a month, there is no precedent for successful persuasion of surrender for all Babala to come forward to persuade them to surrender.
"Ahh Listen to the rakshasas in the city, open the city and surrender quickly, otherwise Lao Tzu will kill you all! Babala rushed to the city with an interpreter who knew Rakshasa and shouted.
His hands were strong, and the young Tsar Alexei I, who had just turned twenty years old, was tightly held in his arms, and his expression was a little painful.
Alexei is really in pain, not only physically, but also in his heart, which is constantly being tortured, and the place where the Ming army has passed in the past half a month can be described as a goose plucking.
All those who could run in Usoliye, Nukutsky and Tulun ran away, and those who could not run went to God, and the Ming army collected everything that could be used, and then burned everything that could not be taken away.
Young Alexei didn't come, he didn't think that the price of the war with the Ming would be so heavy.
Although the city of Chernog was well defended, and the commander of the defense was Marquis Viktor, who had taught him military affairs, Alexei still did not have much hope for Viktor.
The firearms of the Ming Dynasty are too strong, especially their artillery, which can carry out non-stop bombardment outside the range of their own national artillery, and the artillery of the Ming Dynasty will actually explode on the city wall, which is unheard of for Alexei.
It's just that Alexei still doesn't regret his original decision, because no one knows Europa better than him, and this small country will not tolerate the Ming Dynasty wreaking havoc in Europa.
What's more, even if he came forward to ask Chernogri Viktor to surrender, he would be refused, this old man has always been stubborn, probably on the grounds that he was threatened, Alexei said uncomfortably.
"Lord Wang, let's still fight, they are so unreasonable, they don't even have to reply!" Babala handed Alexei over to his soldiers and said to Liu Hong.
Since being taught by Liu Hong, Baba seems to have been empowered, not only no longer going to read sage books all night, but also being extremely fierce in killing enemies, he seems to have found himself again.
"Two stunned, what are you still doing in a daze? Let's start booming! Liu Hong gradually shook his head and said helplessly.
Although the city of Chernog is well defended and the outer city is still a typical rhombic fortress, so what? In front of the breech-loading rifled guns with range advantages, they were all live targets.
Liu Hong shook his head gradually, because attacking the city meant slaughter, but this was something that could not be helped.
This expedition left his impression in the hearts of the countries of Europa, and he might be written into the history books and criticized for it.
At the same time, the Marquis of Victor in the city also frowned, of course he saw Alexei, the emperor of the empire being captured, which was also a shame for him.
After the news reached Moscow, there were two voices in the parliament, one was the main peace faction headed by Maxim, who believed that the situation in Europa was now turbulent, and it was unwise to be the enemy of the Ming Dynasty.
One was Vasily and his main faction, both of whom believed that if they succumbed, their Rakshasa would lose face in the countries of Europa.
However, neither faction could tolerate Liu Hongji's conditions, and later the parliament reached a compromise, if Viktor could successfully stop the invasion of the Ming Empire in Chernig, then the question of war or peace would be discussed at that time, because at least then there were bargaining chips in hand.
Is it just that this chip is so easy to hold? Victor put down the binoculars in his hand, and he saw that the enemy's artillery battalion was already in formation, and this artillery could not be hit by the artillery at the head of their city.
"Soldiers, the most dangerous moment for the empire has arrived, let me see your loyalty and courage, from today onwards, the city is here!" Victor walked back and forth on the city walls and began to boost morale.
"The City in ......"
Boom - Boom Boom -
The sound was instantly drowned out, and Daming's artillery had already begun to roar.
Kong Erzi commanded the artillery battalion and began to focus on bombarding the eastern wall of Chernig, while Babala led 20,000 cavalry to guard against the raid of the Rakshasas.
Lin He Station was the direct commander of the Ming musket battalion, and Lin He was a little depressed for a while, because the siege battle had become a special field for the artillery battalion, and he had no sense of existence.
The sound of artillery was mixed with the sound of AKM gunfire, and it was twelve snipers attacking the Rakshasas who did not expose their figures to their field of vision.
"It's boring!" Liu Hong gradually looked at it for a while, then waved his hand and called Chang Yu to him, signaling that he would go to the tent to inform him if he had something urgent, and then planned to go back to the big tent to rest.
The same siege battle, Liu Hong is really not interested in sitting on the horse and waiting for a few hours, although it is not yet the tenth month of the lunar calendar, but the temperature in the Central Siberian Plateau is already very low.
Liu Hong gradually took out a jar of old soju from the ring, cut a plate of marinated horse meat and ate it by himself, thinking that Xiao Zhu should have returned to the capital at this time, maybe he would start to lay cubs again.
Pity him still blowing cold wind on the grassland where birds don't, chickens don't lay eggs, and cold autumn, it is estimated that he is too tired these days to drink for a while and fall asleep in a daze.
The shelling continued until the afternoon, and just after Shen Shi, Chang Yuxing rushed into Liu Hongji's tent.
"My lord, General Kong has blasted a gap in the east city wall, do you want to go over and take a look?"
"Lord Qiqi, the emperor of the Rakshasa Kingdom asks to see you!"
Almost front and back, as soon as Chang Yu came in, a small flag officer came to report.
"Hehe, little tsar, this can't sit still! Let him in. Liu Hong gradually signaled Chang Yu to be calm and not to be impatient, and sat cross-legged in the tent.
After a while, Alexei entered the tent under the supervision of the soldiers, and then bent down to give Liu Hong a deep salute, which was really rare for Tsar Alexei.
"Respected Lord Daming, please forgive me for the harm I caused to your allies, but the Rakshasa Kingdom did not attack the Daming, I think the contradictions between us are not irreconcilable, we need peace." Alexey said very seriously.
Liu Hong gradually fell silent when he heard this, but just looked at Alexei's performance with a smile.
"I'm willing to cede the land east of the Ineshe River, winter is coming, you better think about it." Alexey reminded.
"Finished? When you're done, go down, and don't influence the king to attack the city. Liu Hong said calmly.
It's really a joke, it's all hit to this point, and you still have to make peace, when this king is a fool, give you two years of relaxation and then come to find fault?
"Lord of the Ming Dynasty, the winter here will be very cold, you better ......" Alexei saw that Liu Hong was gradually unmoved and wanted to say something, but the guards in the tent didn't give him a chance at all, and they were about to pull him out.
Although he was a prisoner, the Ming army did not detain him alone, but left him in the battle array to watch the battle, and he knew that Chernog City could no longer stop the pace of the Ming Empire.
As a tsar, he knew in his heart, for example, to keep this new force for the empire.
"Not every initiator of a war has the right to end a war, Your Excellency, there is no regret medicine in this world!" Liu Hong said coldly.
