Steel Dynasty - Chapter 951

[Chapter 946 Occupying Yaksa]

the south bank of Heilongjiang.

After three days of waiting, soldiers heading north gradually gathered here. At the same time, the increasingly cold weather caused a thick layer of ice to form on the river.

“General, I have tried it. People can walk on this ice. Now we can launch an attack on Yaksa.”

Gao Yingfeng ran over panting, his body covered with a layer of snowflakes. In the past three days, it has snowed heavily .

It hasn’t stopped.

Zhu Sansi was warming himself by the fire. Hearing this, he stood up. As the weather got colder and colder, more and more soldiers suffered frostbite. Now we must capture Yaksa as soon as possible.

His expression became serious, and he said: “Gather all the soldiers and launch an attack on Yaksa on time at eight o’clock.”

“Yes, division commander.” Gao Yingfeng almost jumped for joy. He was really fed up with the weather here and just wanted to Get into town early and warm up.

City of Yaksa.

Barov and Vasily had been paying attention to the movements of the Chongqing army. When they saw the soldiers on the opposite side beginning to gather, their hearts sank to the bottom.

Things are unpredictable. They thought that the river outside the city could stop the attack of Dayu, but they did not expect that the temperature dropped suddenly in the past three days, and the river surface became frostbitten overnight. In three days, there was already a thick layer of frostbite. ice layer.

And this gave Dayu the conditions to attack.

“Vasily, take your people and leave now. Yaksa can’t be defended anymore.” Barov said desperately. In three days, the number of soldiers from the Chongqing Kingdom increased from 2,000 to 10,000. Now there are only about 1,400 people.

Such a weak force cannot resist the Chongqing army with advanced firearms.

“Father, let’s go together. Yaksa is just a small town and it’s not worth our lives.” Vasily advised.

“No, this is my promise to Her Majesty the Queen. For a noble, a promise is much more important than life.” Barov said stubbornly.

He knew that his country was a monarchy, and the queen was the highest symbol of power in Tsarist Russia. Because of this, the promise to the queen was so important.

If he and Vasily escaped together, not only would they lose their status as nobles when they returned, but they would also be thrown into prison and become prisoners.

And this is something their family cannot afford.

“I can’t watch you die in front of me like this.” Vasily picked up his flintlock and prepared to climb the city wall.

Barov saw this and said angrily: “What are you waiting for? Take him away.”

As soon as he finished speaking, three stout Russian soldiers swarmed up, grabbed Vasily’s gun and dragged him towards the northern city. go.

At this moment, the roar of Chongqing’s artillery resounded throughout the sky.

With the arrival of personnel, the number of artillery in Dayu State increased, while the artillery fire in Yaksa City was basically scrapped, and there was no way to face the indiscriminate bombing of Dayu State.

“Hold the guns in your hands, it’s your turn to fight.” Barov also picked up a flintlock gun. He admitted that he underestimated Dayu.

He also realized that his occupation of Yaksa was an invasion of Dayu, but given another chance, he would still choose to invade here.

Because they are the servants of the monarch, the monarch’s orders cannot be disobeyed, and as members of Tsarist Russia, they have to fight for the country. This has nothing to do with justice or evil. After all, for them, this world is dominated by the weak and the strong.

Outside the city, artillery continued to bombard the city of Yaksa. At the same time, under the leadership of officers, soldiers crossed the Heilongjiang River and launched an attack on Yaksa.

Among them, some soldiers were carrying the ladders made in the past three days, and some soldiers kept shooting at the city top to cover the soldiers who were resisting the ladders. Under the suppression of strong firepower, there was no decent counterattack at the top of the Yaksa city.

Tens of thousands of people quickly surrounded Yaksa from four directions like an iron barrel.

“This Yaksa City is quite strong.” Gao Yingfeng scratched his head. Under the continuous artillery fire, Yaksa City was not damaged much.

Guda said: “Since these Tsarist Russians occupied this place, they have reinforced the city a lot. Yaksa was not like this before.”

Zhu Sansi nodded. The appearance of Yaksa City now is obviously different. It was somewhat similar to a bastion. He said: “No matter what it is, Yaksa must be taken down now.”

Gao Yingfeng responded and blew the charge horn louder. The soldiers of the Chongqing Kingdom passed immediately after completing the encirclement. Climb the city with a ladder.

The soldiers responsible for the blast carried the gunpowder cans directly to the city gate.

After lighting the wire, they immediately ran away, and with a huge explosion, the entire city of Yaksa was blown apart.

“Kill!”

Seeing the city gate open, the soldiers roared and rushed into the city.

When the explosion sounded, Barov went crazy. He shouted loudly and asked the soldiers hiding on the steps of the city wall to prevent the soldiers from the Chongqing Kingdom from attacking the city. He led a part of the soldiers to prevent the soldiers from the Chongqing Kingdom from attacking from the main gate.

However, there were too many soldiers from the Chongqing Kingdom. Some of them rushed in directly from the city gate, and some still climbed the ladder to the top of the city. The scattered Tsarist Russian soldiers could not stop them at all.

After climbing the city wall, the Chongqing soldiers relied on the range and accuracy of their breech-loading guns to kill the Tsarist Russian soldiers who tried to rush up the city wall.

Many Tsarist Russian soldiers often fell into a pool of blood before reaching their shooting range.

The battle inside the city gate was also one-sided. The old flintlock guns of Tsarist Russia were no match for the breech-loading guns. They were constantly shot and killed by Dayu’s muskets from a distance.

In the one-sided battle, there were fewer and fewer soldiers around Barov. When the gunfire around him became less and less, Barov found that he was surrounded by soldiers from the Chongqing Kingdom with bayonets pointed at him.

“Capture this man and take him to Qingzhou to await the emperor’s disposal.” Zhu Sansi entered the city immediately. During the confrontation three days ago, he knew that this man was the top general of Yaksa City and planned to invade Dayu. It is best to send the criminals to Qingzhou for disposal.

After his words fell, the soldiers immediately stepped forward to try to capture Barov alive.

Understanding the intentions of the Yu soldiers, Barov roared and held a bayonet to push back the soldiers who were trying to come forward.

Zhu Sansi frowned. He then pulled out his breech-loaded short-barreled gun from his waist and shot Barov in the leg.

Barov was in pain and fell to the ground with a scream. The soldiers took the opportunity to hand over his flintlock and tightly control him.

At the end of the battle, Zhu Sansi and Gao Yingfeng both breathed a sigh of relief. This city of Yaksa is crucial to the Great Yu Kingdom. If you retreat, you can defend the land of Guandong, if you advance, you can take Siberia to the north, and to Lake Baikal to the west. Nerchinsk is not far from Lake Baikal.

“The next one is Nerchinsk.” Zhu Sansi looked to the west, ambitious.
