Chapter 42: The Battle of Orenburg

Orenburg, a castle built by the Evil Nation at the mouth of the Ori River, was also the base camp of Djokovic's troops who had been completely annihilated. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

There is a natural moat in front of the castle, which makes Orenburg's location very advantageous.

However, after a long delay in hearing back from Djokovic, Orenburg stepped up his guard.

This deprived the expeditionary force from afar of the opportunity to make a surprise attack.

The castle was built extremely strongly, with walls 15 meters high, which would have been difficult to breach without artillery.

Wu Tian, Tan Da and Zheng Xiong discussed for a long time and decided to attack.

"Made, this evil country is cowering in the castle, it's hard to deal with. At most, we can advance to the mouth of the river, where we can only attack the castle on the opposite bank with grenadiers, and I don't know if the distance is enough. In this case, let's attack with grenadiers for half an hour, and if we blow up the next section of the wall, it will be easy. ”

Wu Tian said.

Tan Da said: "I think we will concentrate our firepower to attack a little, but if we want to advance to the mouth of the river, we still have to guard against some flintlock pistols and longbows of the evil countrymen. ”

Although the range of the flintlock pistol of the evil country is only about 250 meters, it is condescending, and the range will be longer, plus the longbow of the evil country is also good, and it is very likely to bring death to the expeditionary force.

Zheng Xiong said: "That's it, our department is responsible for attacking, and the two of you are responsible for covering, and when the time comes, fire with all your might, no matter whether the enemy shows his head or not, you all fight hard, don't be afraid of wasting bullets." And I let those bunnies push to the mouth of the river and blast the city across the river, what do you think? ”

Wu Tian and Tan Da nodded.

"That's fine, we will hand over the grenadiers of our two columns to you, and when the time comes, we will bombard, concentrate on one point, and we can keep it somewhere else, and we may still be able to use this castle."

Wu Tian said.

"Yes, there are too few castles on this grassland, since the evil people have built such a castle for us, we have no reason not to accept it, but unfortunately, this place is too far away from our Qing Dynasty, I don't know if there is a way to defend it when the time comes." Zheng Xiong sighed.

Wu Tian said again: "No matter how much, take it first, and then the general should find a way." ”

After the three of them finished their discussions, they began to prepare for the siege.

In Orenburg, the atmosphere was also very tense, and in the face of the expeditionary force coming from afar, the evil army did not dare to slack off.

Now that the expeditionary force has been killed under the city, Djokovic must be more than lucky, and the evil army ordered everyone to go to the city.

At the same time, Federer, the interim coach of the Orenburg garrison, has already sent people to ask for help.

In the early morning of the next day, under the cover of more than 1,000 automatic rifles, Zheng Xiong's troops rushed to the mouth of the river.

There was a loud 'boom', and the first grenadier fired a cannonball.

On the east side of the Orenburg wall, a mark was smashed, and although the cannonballs from the grenadiers did not collapse directly, they shattered a few stones, making the walls tremble.

'Boom, boom, boom, ......'

The shells continued to smash for half an hour.

With the last shell falling and exploding, the eastern wall of Orenburg finally collapsed.

"Haha, it's falling, it's finally falling! Made, with so many shells, it finally worked! Zheng Xiong laughed.

Wu Tian and Tan Da burst into shouts at the same time: "Attack!" ”

The cavalry of the expeditionary force sprang out and rushed along a shallow river beach.

Federer hurriedly ordered all the fire to be opened in an attempt to stop the expeditionary force's attack.

Some of the soldiers of the expeditionary force fell off their horses, and the combat effectiveness of the evil army was still very strong, and when they rushed across the river, these expeditionary forces obviously could not take care of so much, and they died on the way to charge.

Blood, stained the Ori River red.

However, more soldiers of the expeditionary force still rushed across the river and jumped on their prancing horses to Orenburg, charging and firing at the same time.

A dense barrage of bullets fell at the head of Orenburg, and the evil army fell in pieces, with heavy casualties. The difference in weapons between the two sides made the defense of the evil army quickly broken through by the expeditionary force, but when the first expeditionary soldier rushed into Orenburg, this battle meant that it would become the performance of the expeditionary force again.

"Hold on! Resist General Ben! Federer hurriedly shouted, but it was obviously in vain, when the bullets of the expeditionary force were fired into the bodies of the soldiers of the evil army, the miserable situation made all the people of the evil country frightened.

I don't know who shouted: "Run." ”

The people of the evil country scattered in a hurry, rushed out of the northern gate, and fled in confusion.

"Haha, want to run? It's not that easy! Bunny cubs, let Ben catch up, and let no one go, to avenge the dead brethren! ”

Wu Tian pulled out his waist knife and shouted and ordered the pursuit.

At the same time, Zheng Xiong's troops also crossed the river, the infantry stayed to clean up the remnants of the enemy, and the cavalry all went out to pursue the evil army.

Less than 5 miles after the pursuit, three columns surrounded the evil legion.

In fact, the number of the evil army still has an advantage, and all the evil army has more than 30,000 people, but they have no sense of security in front of the armed expeditionary force.

"Death to those who resist stubbornly! Those who descend will not die! ”

Wu Tian yelled.

"Surrender or die! Surrender or die! ”

The expeditionary force echoed in unison.

There are still people in the evil army who understand Chinese, and after translating the words to Federer, Federer's face showed a contradictory expression.

Surrender is undoubtedly a very humiliating thing for a soldier. But if you don't surrender, the opponent's bullets will probably mercilessly shoot into the bodies of yourself and these evil soldiers under your command.

"Your Majesty, the non-ministers are disloyal, the Qing people are too powerful, in order to save the lives of the people and soldiers of these evil countries, the ministers have no choice but to surrender." Federer secretly said to Peter the Great in the St. Petersburg Palace, and then he decisively ordered the evil army to lay down their arms and surrender en masse.

"The one who knows the times is Junjie, this commander of the evil army is much stronger than that Djokovic, this time we sent it, and after capturing so many prisoners of the evil army, we have to exchange hundreds of thousands of taels of silver for the general." Wu Tian was overjoyed and gladly accepted Federer's surrender.

All the captives were taken back to Orenburg, and the remnants of the city were cleared.

Wu Tian, Zheng Xiong and Tan Da ordered their subordinates to indulge in a day of carnival, and of course, the spring of the women of the evil country also began.

This is war, the winner can do whatever he wants, and the loser, can only give away wealth and women.

Fortunately, the soldiers of the expeditionary force were quite gentle, and some women of the evil country still had the idea of resisting at first, but later, they had a strange change, not only did they not resist, but they had the idea of following these soldiers.

When someone brought the report to the three commanders, all three of them were a little crying and laughing.

Wu Tian said: "This thing is done, that can't be done, the purpose of our trip, but to disturb the bad country, this is not a good phenomenon with women, when the time comes, there will be worries and burdens, how can we fight?" ”

Zheng Xiong also said: "Yes, yes, these women in the evil country are really annoying, they will follow us when they sleep, so don't we want to take a large group of women back to the capital in the future?" ”

"Lao Wu, Lao Zheng, I have a different opinion, now that the territory we have laid is getting bigger and bigger, we will need people to occupy it in the future, since these women of the evil country are willing to follow our soldiers, then temporarily settle in Orenburg, and when they give birth to children, they can guard here for our Daqing Town, isn't it a matter of killing two birds with one stone?" Tan Da said.

Wu Tian shook his head and said: "No, the general will never allow this kind of thing to happen, the people of the evil country are of a different race, and they are completely incompatible with us, if they give birth to some mongrels, they must not be laughed at?"

"Hey, Lao Wu, I think Lao Tan is right, how far away is Orenburg from the rear? We have to continue to march, this castle naturally needs to be guarded, I suggest, leave these women, and 200 brothers, defend the castle, and we continue to attack. ”

"This? Would you like to ask the general? Wu Tian said with a look of hesitation on his face.

While they were discussing, the person sent by Yang Meng arrived.

"General Wu, General Zheng, General Tan, and the Great General have an order: after occupying Orenburg, quickly march into the Volga steppe, and after getting in touch with the Turgot Khanate, join forces to attack the evil countrymen!"
