26. The Water of the North Sea (4)

The young military attache only felt a burst of blackness in front of him, and Ivan continued tremblingly, "General, why don't we surrender?" The Chinese will not abuse us, after all, we are Russian officials, and in the future we can solve our treatment through diplomatic channels. ”

"Your Excellency, if you remember that you are a Russian official, don't say anything about surrender!" The young military attache said loudly, he had a pair of thick and dense eyebrows, which showed that he was a resolute person, "Herald, tell the soldiers outside that reinforcements from the Governor will be coming soon, you pay attention to me!" The military attache roared loudly, "Find out all the damned Tatars in the city and go to the city to help!" ”

"Very good," Rong Lu received Yang Yuebin's report, nodded and said with satisfaction, "According to the intelligence, there will be no reinforcements after this batch of reinforcements, we can concentrate on attacking Ulan-Ude, General William," Rong Lu smiled at a German with brown hair and yellow eyes on the side, "The next siege battle will be handed over to you, and I will study and study on the side." ”

"You are already very powerful, you don't need to learn our tactics," William said stiffly, he was also very dissatisfied with Rong Lu's risk of crossing the North Sea to attack Erkou City but was ignored by Rong Lu, and Rong Lu also left him in Sol Mountain, in order to prevent him from speaking ill, Rong Lu saw that William was very dissatisfied, smiled slightly, and was not angry, "There is a specialization in the art industry, you please." ”

William had already arrived here from Sol Mountain, and he already had a deep understanding of the defense of Ulan-Ude City, in fact, he also applied to preside over this siege campaign, and William gave the order unceremoniously, "Three thousand infantry, attack from the south gate, artillery and musket cover." The west gate is facing the river, and it is inconvenient for the army to attack, so you can block the west gate with a raft and ignite the gunpowder, causing panic in the city...... "Everyone heard William's order, but only watched Rong Lu speak. Rong Lu frowned slightly, "General William is the first lecturer of the Martial Arts Hall, and his order is the order of this seat!" ”

"The last general will obey the order!"

The generals rushed out, each prepared, and the artillery fire outside was continuous, William looked at Rong Lu: "My lord, I have to remind you that the generals of your country are very good at conspiracy and trickery, and they are still not able to fight head-on." In addition, your point of view about casualties is wrong, wars are fought by casualties, and armies can only be trained by blood, and lessons will be profound, after all, we are facing a giant empire across the Eurasian continent, although, according to analysis. Their military focus is not here, but we still need to take it seriously. ”

"It's not easy to train talents in the martial arts hall." Rong Lu said, "It's all baby bumps, how can I give it up." ”

"You are a woman's kindness," William shook his head and said unceremoniously, "it is impossible for everyone to be an elite. Only after experiencing the elimination and selection of the battlefield, the rest may not be of the highest level, but at least it can be guaranteed to be of a relatively high level. ”

"I also need to remind you that your country's military system is still far from perfect, and the recognition of the system is far lower than the recognition of the people themselves. This is a disadvantage, of course, there are advantages and disadvantages, the advantage is that the cohesion is stronger, but the disadvantage is that it is easy to cause the instability of combat effectiveness, I believe you understand what I mean, and it does not mean that I can't command the generals of your country, so I will complain like this. After William finished speaking, he bowed, "I'll go out to find a visible place to command the battle, by the way, I have to say again, Lord Yang's side has already defeated the reinforcements, and I personally think that he should be sent back, because he should be the one who wants to attack Ulan-Ude City the most." ”

"I see, thank you for your advice," Rong Lu instructed the heralds, "order Yang Yuebin to return, leaving a few hundred people for patrol purposes, and not to give Russia a chance to raid." ”

Under the suppression of the artillery of the Qing army, the city wall could only sporadically fire bullets and bows and arrows to block the progress of the Chinese, and when they reached the city gate, they blew up the city gate with explosives a few times, and the wooden city gate was blown up, but the sand and rocks were exposed inside, "No," a Qing soldier turned his head and shouted, "The foreign devils blocked the door!" ”

"Dig and dig first!" The team behind them, holding shields to prevent the Russians from firing with muskets on them, shouted, "The rest of the people, use the ladder immediately!" ”

The sound of shouting, the ladder was erected, several people gritted their teeth and went up the ladder first, and in a moment, there was a person who did not protect his body, and was hit on the shoulder by the big stone dropped by the Russians, and one of the centers of gravity was unstable, and he was planted from the ladder, and he couldn't live anymore, "Grandma!" Several people who had befriended him were red-eyed, and the team was shooting a few shots at the wall with muskets, and they didn't know if they had hit, but they saw that there were many fewer things left on it, "You guys hurry up!" The team said loudly, "Don't look down, anyone will die, die in the war with foreign devils, not wronged!" ”

A lot of ladders were erected on the side, and countless people climbed up, but countless people also fell, some died, some were not dead, but those who could move their hands grabbed the ladder with all their might, and many people fell from the team's subordinates, some were hit by stones, some were killed by muskets, and some were scalded to death by hot oil, he couldn't help it, and shouted to his teammates who broke his leg and held the ladder, "Third child, you hold Lao Tzu, I will personally go up and meet the Russians for a while!" ”

The third child was lying in the corpse of the robe, grabbing the ladder with both hands, just now a big stone rubbed the back of his hand, the back of his hand was blurred with flesh and blood, and his face was full of cold sweat, "Boss, you go, as long as I have a breath, I will protect this ladder for you!" ”

The team is nodding heavily, holding a shield in one hand, a short knife in the other hand, and rubbing up the ladder, at this time the artillery of the Qing army outside the city roared angrily, giving the soldiers besieging the city an excellent opportunity to climb up, the team is dodging the assassination of a spear, flying up to the city, many people saw his posture, although he will die on the battlefield if he is not careful, but the soldiers still let out cheers.

"Report to the commander, someone has already attacked the city wall just now, but they were still repelled by the Russians."

"Report, Master Wu's urgency!"

Rong Lu stood up, snatched the urgent item, spread it out and looked at it, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, "Report, Lord Yang is back to the camp!" ”

"Call in!" Yang Yuebin came in to restore his life, Rong Lu said with a smile, "Reasoning, I should also let you have a good rest, after all, I just repelled the reinforcements of the Russians, but just now I received the battle report, Wu Yundi has already rushed thousands of miles to defeat Nebuchu, Lao Yang, if you can't beat Ulan-Ude again, then these three-way soldiers will be yours."
