Steel Dynasty - Chapter 985

[Chapter 978 Attacking the Heart]

The icy cold wind rolled around Zhu Sansi’s dark green military uniform, making a hunting sound.

Looking at the barbarian slave soldiers who were about to launch a second charge, Zhu Sansi said to Gao Yingfeng with a calm face: “You are so audacious that you dare to hide ammunition secretly. I order you to give all the remaining ammunition to the soldiers now.” , otherwise I will shoot you myself!”

“Commander!” Gao Yingfeng opened his mouth, looked at Zhu Sansi’s serious face and stamped his feet angrily, and could only let the soldiers take out the remaining ammunition.

He and Zhu Sansi were superiors and subordinates in terms of position, but they were like brothers in life. Faced with such a desperate situation today, he just wanted to save Zhu Sansi’s life. After all, for him, Zhu Sansi’s future was bright, and he But a reckless man can only stop there.

“Hmph!” Seeing Gao Yingfeng’s soldiers taking out ammunition from the city, Zhu Sansi glared at Gao Yingfeng again, “I will settle the score with you after this battle is over.”

While the two were talking, the Golden Horde Khan outside the city The imperial slave soldiers once again launched an attack on the city of Yaksa, and the Tsarist Russian artillery also began another round of shelling.

“It’s really unimaginable that this idiot Barov died in the hands of these natives.” Outside the city, Karloff held up a monocular and looked at the city of Yaksa proudly.

It was only a matter of time for him to retake the city of Yaksa, and he would be praised in front of the Queen.

Standing next to Karloff was Gubat, who sneered at Karloff’s sudden confidence, “Lieutenant Karloff, you should thank the dead soldiers of our Golden Horde. They consumed the ammunition of the soldiers in the city. , otherwise you wouldn’t be so relaxed.”

Karloff curled his lips. He knew Gubat’s thoughts. He was trying to take credit from himself. In fact, after the Golden Horde took refuge with the Queen, the Golden Horde had not made any achievements. , far less important than the Cossacks to Tsarist Russia.

As for this nomadic tribe from the eastern grasslands, their generals cannot fully trust them. Because of this, the Golden Horde is eager to show off.

“Of course, I will state your merits to Her Majesty the Queen.” Karloff showed a faint smile. He knew very well that he now needed these Golden Horde cannon fodder to consume the Great Chongqing army in Yaksa City, and now he offended Gubat. No benefit yet.

Gubat showed a satisfied look after hearing this. If it were not to resist the threat of the Great Chongqing, the Golden Horde would not have knelt down to Tsarist Russia.

“This is a cooperative partner.” Cubat waved, and the slave soldiers in front charged towards Yaksa again.

Unlike the previous seven charges, Gubat sent all the slave soldiers this time. This time he wanted to take over the city of Yaksa in one fell swoop. The soldiers of the Chongqing Kingdom who had lost the advantage of firearms were no match for them.

Under his command, tens of thousands of slave soldiers rushed towards Yaksa from all directions. At this time, Karloff also ordered the artillery to launch another attack on the city of Yaksa.

The rumble of artillery resounded throughout the battlefield.

But what surprised them was that the soldiers of the Chongqing Kingdom on the city wall behaved very quietly this time, seeming to have given up resistance.

The battlefield was a little too quiet during the charge of the slave soldiers. Although it was a bit strange, Gubat and Karloff were extremely confident.

Because they were sure that the soldiers of the Great Chongqing Kingdom had no ammunition.

Five hundred meters, three hundred meters, two hundred meters, one hundred meters, fifty meters, thirty meters, the slave soldiers came over like a tide. Just when they arrived at the bottom of the city, they suddenly became dense when they climbed halfway to the city wall. Gunfire rang out.

The sound of three artillery counterattacks also sounded on the city wall. Before Karloff and Gubat could recover, they saw the artillery not far away flying with blood and flesh in the explosion.

However, the counterattack from Dayu’s artillery was short-lived. After thirty rounds, the city fell into dead silence again.

Under the intensive gunfire, the slave soldiers under the city suffered heavy losses. More than a thousand people were felled under the city in a short period of time, and this was enough to make the slave soldiers collapse.

When the gunfire stopped, the surviving slave soldiers scrambled to escape from the city.

“Damn, this is a trap!” Karloff yelled: “They did it on purpose, they must have done it on purpose.”

Gubat was also a little shocked. They had never encountered a counterattack with firearms in the past few days, and they did not expect to encounter one today. The fierce resistance caused a lot of losses in his troops. Now he and Karloff have some similar ideas, that is, the Great Yu Kingdom is deliberately setting a trap to kill their soldiers as much as possible.

And this idea made him a little worried. He didn’t want to consume too many troops here, because the weaker his strength was, the more disadvantageous he would be on the grassland.

After the Golden Horde lost Guandong, the conflicts within the Khanate gradually intensified. The bannermen who originally owned land in Guandong lost everything. Now they want to get a piece of land on the grassland to support their own people. They previously occupied these lands. The flag leader was not happy at all.

For this reason, the current Golden Horde seems to be harmonious, but in fact there are many contradictions within it. Each banner wants to preserve its strength to avoid being taken away by others.

If it weren’t for Dorgo’s order this time, he wouldn’t have come to fight in this damn ice and snow.

“These Yu people are really as cunning as foxes. We can no longer attack recklessly.” Gubat retreated.

Karloff stared at Gubat’s eyes when he heard this, “Maybe this is their last bullet, we have to keep trying.”

Frowning, Gubat looked at the Tsarist Russian soldiers who had almost no losses and was a little annoyed, ” Why don’t you let your soldiers charge? Don’t the lives of our Golden Horde soldiers matter?”

Karloff wanted to say yes, but he endured it in order to capture Yaksa, because he knew very well that if Yaksa was recaptured, The fact that he would receive great honor in front of the Queen was too tempting.

“Of course not, like this, we send out soldiers in turns to test.”

Karloff waved, and fifty Tsarist Russian soldiers went to Yaksa City. Different from the last time, this time the Chongqing soldiers did not shoot, but only fired on the city wall. Dodge Russian soldiers’ fire.

After running out of bullets, these Russian soldiers retreated calmly, and Karloff smiled.

Gubat’s brows furrowed even more tightly, but Karloff had already done so. He could only send out five hundred men to continue testing. However, when his soldiers arrived at the city, the Chongqing soldiers fired again, and the slave soldiers collapsed.

Looking at each other, Karloff and Gubat suddenly looked strange. Gubat’s eyes had a dangerous light. Facing Gubat’s eyes, Karloff felt a chill in his heart. He understood that Gubat was beginning to doubt him.
