Steel Dynasty - Chapter 934

[Chapter 929 Bombardment of Morgan]

The north wind howled, and the cold air seemed to penetrate into the muscles and bones.

At this time, on the endless black land, Zhu Sansi was leading his soldiers towards Morgan. For the people of the Great Chongqing country, the land was inviolable, and any offense against the country would mean severe revenge.

“It’s only the end of October. I didn’t expect it to snow here.”

The officer traveling with Zhu Sansi was Gao Yingfeng, the commander of the First Brigade. He was also Zhu Sansi’s most trusted subordinate. Gao Yingfeng was in the same group as him. The soldier is also a fellow from Qingzhou, and the two have cooperated tacitly in these years of war.

Because of this, Zhu Sansi always kept him with him.

“This is really a bitter and cold place. If it weren’t for the war in the south, people from Jiangnan would really not want to settle here.” Looking at the falling snowflakes, Zhu Sansi frowned. He now finally understood why forced immigration was required. Well, if we rely solely on voluntariness, the place in Kanto will soon be occupied by other cold-resistant tribes, such as the current Tsarist Russia.

As the saying goes, only by knowing your enemy and yourself can you win every battle. Before going north, he knew the country of Tsarist Russia. Generally speaking, the main body of this country is the Slavs. In the eyes of Europeans, they are the same as the Germans and Celts. Humans are known as the three major barbarian tribes in Europe.

To this day, Europeans do not have a good impression of the Slavs. Politicians still call Tsarist Russia barbarians in private, mocking its ferocious and aggressive characteristics.

Therefore, in Zhu Sansi’s view, Tsarist Russia is like Europe, just like the Golden Horde and the Great Chongqing, both of which are synonymous with barbarism.

“The emperor has really profound thoughts, including asking us to come to Jianzhou wearing thick winter clothes this time, otherwise we would not be able to march at all now.” Gao Yingfeng patted his thick cotton clothes and grinned.

A trace of reverence flashed in Zhu Sansi’s eyes. In the eyes of the people of Great Yu, their emperor was now the supreme being.

In the past, they may have been afraid of the imperial power, but now they respect their king from the bottom of their hearts.

As a general, every time their emperor could always remind them exactly what they had overlooked, which made him admire him in his heart.

“This is the king that our country of Chongqing really deserves.” Zhu Sansi felt a rush of blood and secretly vowed to defend his monarch with his life.

…

Morgan City, this is a temporarily built city, but to be precise, it is just a southward outpost established by Vasily. After all, the surrounding stone walls as high as one person can only serve as a barrier for them to resist attacks.

“Vasily, no, there are a large number of soldiers approaching Morgan City. They seem to be the army of Great Chongqing.”

In the center of Morgan City, Vasily was sitting around with the soldiers roasting a deer. This was their Just hunted.

Hearing this voice he looked towards the person.

“Ivan, you must have drunk too much vodka. There are many deer here, not soldiers.” A soldier by the campfire picked up the wine bag containing white wine. He was naked in the ice and snow, and drank the strong wine inside. Drink it all in one gulp, this is their weapon against the cold.

Ivan was wearing a coat made of fur. He said anxiously: “I read that right, they are the army. Damn it, you should wake up now. They will arrive here in ten minutes.”

Vasily held the wine bag. His hand stopped in the air. Ivan’s face turned red at this time. It didn’t look like he was lying. He immediately stood up and said to the soldiers beside the campfire: “Everyone, get up and take your weapons. We will be alive soon.” Done.”

Then he asked: “Little Ivan, how many people are here in total?”

“There are at least three thousand people, and we only have eight hundred people.” Ivan was a little worried, and he followed Vasily from Moscow. In the Far East, the natives encountered on the road were all tribes armed with bows, arrows and spears. They had a great advantage in fighting with these tribes.

But this time they saw a well-disciplined army, and everyone had a musket, which made him doubt Vasily’s words.

Perhaps it’s not just the indigenous people who live in the Far East.

“Hahaha, our Ivan is scared. He forgot that there is not only a Slav who can fight ten, but also brave and capable Cossats.” Vasily’s red face still had the traces of alcohol left on it. trace.

As his words fell, Morgan’s soldiers burst into laughter as they began to organize their muskets and ammunition in preparation for battle.

Ivan’s face was full of worry, but Vasily was the boss here.

“If you don’t escape, I will have no choice but to kill all these enemies with you.” Ivan had a ferocious look on his face. Now he is used to having his hands filled with blood donations from the indigenous people.

To them, money is obviously more important than the lives of the natives.

During the skillful preparation, the flying snowflakes suddenly gradually became smaller, and the field of vision became clear. At this time, Vasily finally saw the army that Ivan was talking about.

Because now this army in uniform uniforms was two hundred meters in front of them, facing them were the muzzles of sixteen field guns.

“Damn, hide!”

Vasily shouted when he saw the soldiers on the opposite side lighting artillery.

It was just that his reminder was too late after all. With a roar, their wall was blown open by artillery shells. The soldiers behind the wall rose into the air amidst screams and made no sound when they landed.

Outside the city, Zhu Sansi was watching Morgan’s situation. When the heavy snow stopped, he immediately identified the weapons of the Tsarist Russians, which allowed him to decisively launch an attack.

“Boom, boom, boom…”

After the first round of shelling, the second round of shelling sounded again. Under the rounds of shelling, the fragile Morgan wall was reduced to ruins.

Zhu Sansi waited with the soldiers. This is their current fighting tactic. Before attacking, artillery fire must be prepared to reduce casualties.

After all, even when a relatively backward army fought, they had to pay the price of casualties. At least more than 9,000 soldiers fell on the battlefield during the Southern War.

Under the continuous firing of artillery, the Tsarist Russian soldiers in Morgan City suffered terribly. In just a few rounds of shelling, they lost more than 70 people.

The main reason was that they underestimated the enemy and did not bring artillery, which made it impossible for them to fight back.

Vasily was now completely sober, and he finally realized the seriousness of the problem. It was obvious that they had encountered a real army.

But ferocity has always been Vasily’s style. He shouted: “Fix bayonets and let them understand how powerful we Russians are. Their artillery will not keep firing.”

Just as Vasily thought, in the twelfth round of shelling After that, Dayu’s artillery stopped shelling, and at this time, Morgan’s front wall was basically in ruins.

But just after the bombardment ended, they suddenly heard a strange sound of musical instruments.
