Chapter 1148: Luring the Enemy

Previous Chapter

After giving the order, Li Heyi, the commander of the artillery battalion, personally came to the artillery position, looked at the busy artillerymen, and said loudly as he walked:

"Brothers! Our Imperial Forest Army has always guarded His Majesty, and there is no chance to go into battle, and our artillery battalion can only fire salutes in normal times, and not even a living person has been killed! ”

"Others always say that we are His Majesty's honor guard, wasting so much advanced equipment in vain, and they are trying to squeeze us in different ways, trying to set Lao Tzu's cannon! Brothers, do you serve? ”

Those who can enter the artillery battalion of the Royal Forest Army are all good at fighting artillery in the army, artillery is originally a noble profession, and they are very arrogant. ”

"Good!"

Li Heyi then said loudly: "As the old saying goes, whether you are a hero or a dog, you don't rely on shouting out loudly!" We are going to prove our strength to those people, brothers, do you have faith? ”

"Yes! Yes! Yes! ”

The artillerymen shouted with their necks pulled at their heads, and the momentum was magnificent.

Li Heyi, who had already brewed his emotions, suddenly roared: "The opportunity to prove us has come!" A once-in-a-lifetime opportunity! The furs are right across from us, they are bombarding our brothers with artillery, what are we going to do? ”

"Fuck it!"

"Support Brother!"

Li Heyi nodded, and pointed to the bright dragon flag fluttering on the position: "Raise soldiers for a thousand days, use soldiers for a while, Your Majesty gives us the best treatment, the best equipment, now is the time to use us!" ”

"You're all staring at me and aiming me at the stray hairs! Tell them with shells that they don't recognize, and tell the world that our Royal Forest Army is not only well-equipped, but also the strongest army! ”

The artillerymen of the Royal Forest Army were all ignited by the battalion commander Li Heyi, who quickly operated the artillery, and from time to time some artillerymen shouted loudly: "The target is directly ahead, the ruler is sixty, and the ...... to the left"

After a flurry of data, the artillery of the Imperial Guards fired the first round of shelling.

White smoke rose and the muzzle of the cannon spewed fire, the shells flew into the sky, and in the blink of an eye, a rumbling explosion was heard in the distance.

Next to the artillery position of the coalition forces, there was a violent explosion sound, and puffs of black smoke rose up.

After the first round of shelling, the Imperial Guards shouted out a series of adjustment data, followed by a second round of shelling, and the high-speed rotating shells accurately fell into the artillery positions of the coalition forces.

The coalition artillery fire, which was still scrambling to open fire, instantly lost momentum, like a desperately crying child who was stunned by a backhand slap from his parents.

The artillerymen of the Royal Forest Army didn't care whether the hairy children were stunned or not, and then played the second, third, and fourth rounds......

Golovin, the commander of the coalition forces who was riding a horse to inspect the artillery position, was almost knocked to the ground by a shell, and his horse under his crotch was frightened and galloped dozens of meters before it stabilized.

It's not just this that loses face, the artillery fire of the Ming army on the opposite side is too fierce and accurate, and the artillery of the Russian Empire has not yet made any reaction, and they have been crippled by them in several waves!

"It all shows that the country's guns and cannons are rare in the world, and I have seen and heard it today, and it is indeed so!"

In order not to lose his dignity, Golovin praised the artillery of the Ming Dynasty in front of the generals of the coalition army, trying to show his open-minded side.

Golovin did not sit idle and was bombed, and immediately ordered a detachment of 3,000 Russian infantry to charge the artillery camp positions of the Royal Forest Army in an attempt to seize the artillery positions.

The Russian army organized death squads and desperately rushed to the position of the Imperial Forest Army, but due to the Ili River, the Russian army could only attack on the river bridge.

This river bridge project is not small, and when people usually leave, it looks very wide, but so many people gather to charge, it seems too narrow.

With only a few Gatling machine guns, the Imperial Guards blocked the entire bridge deck, and it didn't take long for the Russian corpses to fall asleep on the ground, piled up half a meter high on the bridge deck.

Looking at the tragic death over there, Golovin understood that the Ming army was using artillery positions as bait to attract our army to annihilate it!

Golovin was not a fool, and after gaining insight into the intentions of the Ming army, he understood that the Ming emperor was already prepared, so he ran out of a small group to explore the way.

His wishful thinking is to first find out the situation around Huiyuan City, where the defense is empty, he will fight there, and he will not be wasted in this Wang Bazi.

Under this guiding ideology, the Cossack cavalry who explored the path set out, and to their surprise, there was not a single Ming cavalry around, only scattered small units.

These Ming soldiers were not well equipped, they looked flustered, and they were running around with a headless fly, they rode their horses to chase them, and these Ming troops ran faster!

The leader of the Cossack cavalry, who was in the lead, took out a small notebook from his bosom and quickly recorded the situation.

Golovin got this information, his heart moved, and he made his own judgment: When the Ming army saw that the troops of our coalition army were pressing the border, they were already in turmoil and frightened!

He carefully analyzed the strongholds of the Ming army on a wave of maps, and finally made tactical adjustments, gave up the frontal attack, divided half of the coalition army, and contained seven of the nine cities in Ili, and the main force changed to attack Suiding City in the north of the bunker formation, as well as the north gate of Huiyuan City.

In this way, it can not only avoid the Ming artillery position in the south of Huiyuan City, but also bypass the bunker, and also concentrate forces to attack Huiyuan City and Suiding City at the same time.

Suiding City is not far north of Huiyuan City, it is a satellite city, and it must be pulled out.

As for which country's army will be the main force, this is an important question, and for this question, Golovin used the method of drawing lots, choosing two lucky countries.

The draw seems simple, but the coalition forces have a sense of ceremony and take two hours to complete.

As a result of the draw, Golovin's face was gloomy, and he did the lottery himself, and the result was the Russian army!

The other lucky one was the Bukhara Khanate.

The two fortunate states sent a total of 60,000 troops to serve as the main attack, and the leader of the team was Sharukh, the leader of the Minga clan of the Bukhara Khanate, who led the elite cavalry of the khanate.

The smoke and dust were everywhere, and the army set off from the main camp of the coalition army, and Shalukh, as if he had never fought in his life, personally led the cavalry of the Khanate to gallop and rush to Suiding City.

The Bukhara Khanate has been ruled by the Astrakhan dynasty for more than 60 years, during which the dynasty has continuously strengthened its centralized power, resulting in relative political and economic stability and commercial prosperity, and it was once in its heyday.

The Bukhara Khanate was dominated by cavalry, of which heavy cavalry and unarmored light cavalry were the mainstay of its army, and the rest of the armament was similar to that of the Safavid and Ottoman empires in the Middle East.

The Uzbeks and Tajiks in the territory of the Khanate were fierce and warlike knights, skilled in bows and horses, well-armed and well-wrought, and indeed had proud capital.

It's just that the Bukhara Khanate does not border with the Ming Dynasty, and they did not have the opportunity to feel the strength of the Ming army.

The main general, Shalukh, is even more bent on doing great things, or the emperor of the Eastern Empire!

The ambitious Shaluhe never thought that he would not even see the face of the Emperor of the Ming Kingdom, and he would never see him again in his life......
