Volume 17 Chapter 78 Tsarist Russia was shocked and asked for peace talks
Looking at the unstoppable approaching armored combat vehicle, Ivanov subconsciously took a few steps back, although the armored combat vehicle was still far away from him, he felt as if he was standing in front of the armored combat vehicle, and he was about to be crushed by these steel monsters!
At this moment, his scalp is really going to explode, what should he do? The artillery can't be bombarded, what else can you resist?
He thought anxiously for a long time, but still didn't come up with any way, "Bang, Bang, Bang", there were several loud noises at the first floor of the city wall, and the roller coaster had already reached the city wall.
Immediately afterward, countless grenades flew out from behind the roller coaster, and a scream suddenly sounded on the city wall.
The cooperation of the Ming army has been practiced countless times, it is as smooth as a flowing operation, the grenade just exploded, the artillery car opened fire again, and the special shotshots were released, and countless small shotshots smashed like raindrops at the arrow battlements of the city wall directly above the roller coaster, and the Russian soldiers guarding the city could not raise their heads.
This was followed by another roar of artillery, and the Shenwei cannon also fired scattered bullets, covering the second and third floors of the fortress.
At this time, countless barrels of guns stretched out from the back of the artillery cart, aimed at the arrow stacks on the city wall, and once someone showed their heads, they would be hit beyond recognition by countless bullets.
The artillery cart also stopped at this time, directly guarding the back of the roller coaster, and bombarded whoever showed his head.
Everything is ready, the roller coaster spews out a puff of white smoke, and the giant crane beak hoe in front of it slowly rises, and then falls rapidly, "boom, boom, boom" A layer of debris immediately flew under the city wall, and the crane beak hoe with half a door panel wide dug on the city wall, it was called a horror, and the whole fortress seemed to be trembling.
Ivanov's face was already dead at this time, the Ming army actually had such an artifact, how could he resist it, this momentum, I am afraid that the fortress will be dug through by them in less than a day.
He guessed right, the excavation speed of the roller coaster is quite terrifying, the first few times because there are rocks on the outer layer of the city wall, the crane beak hoe did not dare to go too fast, after the rock was dug off, the roller coaster was simply like taking medicine, waving the crane pickaxe, "brushing brush", and dug a huge hole under the city wall in a while!
The work of the roller coaster seemed to be completed, and it stepped back a little, and then a bunch of Ming soldiers emerged behind the roller coaster, and they were holding shovels one by one, quickly cleaning up the gravel and soil in the hole in the wall, and the speed was faster than a mouse burrowing.
At this time, the Shenwei cannon opened fire again, and in the huge roar, twenty armored combat vehicles started, and two thousand heavily armed Ming soldiers lined up in a dense formation and followed the armored vehicles and slowly pressed towards the city wall.
Ivanov subconsciously aimed his binoculars at the slowly approaching armored car, and when he saw the barrel sticking out of the armored car, he understood that the Ming army was trying to use these steel monsters to rush up to the platform from the gap.
It's over, it's over, he originally wanted to organize people to resist when the Ming army rushed into the gap, but now he doesn't have to think about anything.
Whether he wants to or not, the Ming army's attack will not stop, just at this moment, the ten big holes under the city wall have been almost cleaned up, and two teams of Ming soldiers emerged behind the roller coaster, they directly lifted the armor plates on both sides of the roller coaster, and took out a few explosive bags thicker than thighs from it and ran into the holes quickly.
Soon, everyone in the hole ran out quickly and hid behind the roller coaster.
"Boom, boom" made a few loud noises, and the mountains shook for a while, and ten large gaps appeared in the city wall on the first floor of the Tsarist Russian fortress in an instant.
Immediately afterwards, a bunch of Ming soldiers appeared behind the mountain bike, rushing to the gap under the cover of artillery trucks, grenades and flintlock pistols, desperately wielding shovels to clear the rubble and fill the slope.
Seeing this scene, Ivanov's eyes struggled for a moment, and finally ordered: "Order all the soldiers on the first floor to quickly retreat to the second floor." “
There is no hope, there is no hope at all, if he orders a layer of soldiers to attack at this time, he may be able to kill a few Ming troops, but their casualties will definitely be worse than those of the Ming army, this is a completely meaningless death struggle, why let his subordinates go to death.
He has already decided to give up, in front of the steel monsters of the Ming army, he can't raise the slightest desire to fight at all, what to fight, it's useless for the cannonball to hit it, do you bite it with your teeth?
The cooperation of the Ming army is getting smoother and smoother, it is just like the same cloud and flowing water, the gap in front has just been cleared, the armored vehicles behind have been driven to both sides of the gap, and then, the armored car rushed to the platform with white smoke, and the Ming soldiers who followed closely behind still threw out pieces of grenades as they did during the exercise, the strange thing is that after the grenade exploded, there was no movement at all, there was no scream, and no one fought back, and the defenders were gone!
No matter what the defenders reacted, the Ming soldiers still continued to attack the city according to the drilled tactics.
The roller coaster soon drove up to the first floor of the platform, and dug against the second floor of the city wall;
The artillery wagon also adjusted its angle, and there was another rain of scattered bullets against the arrow stacks on the second floor;
The Shenwei cannon was still roaring, and the grenades were constantly flying, and the defenders on the second floor of the fortress didn't dare to raise their heads when they were pressed.
Ivanov has decided to give up resistance, and there will be no suspense in the next battle, the Ming army is digging the second layer and digging the third layer, and the defenders are pushing to the second floor and retreating to the third floor, when the three-story city wall was blown down, the defenders immediately erected a white flag, and the 32nd fortress of Tsarist Russia was captured in this way.
In less than half a month, the Ming army in the southeast and southeast captured nearly 20 fortresses in Tsarist Russia, and when the military and political commander of the Far East of Tsarist Russia, Field Marshal Golovin received the news, the Ming troops of both routes had already marched to the second gathering point.
The news that Golovin received at the beginning was not that more than 20 fortresses had been captured, but that the Ming army attacked the city with steel monsters, and six fortresses were conquered in one day!
Six bastions a day! Golovin couldn't believe his eyes, was he telling a mythological story?
However, the bad news continued to come in, and almost every three days six bastions were breached, proving that what was coming ahead was not a myth at all, but an ironclad fact.
This simply scared Golovin stupidly, and he lost more than 20 bastions in just half a month after the start of the war, how can this battle be fought?
He was so frightened that he lost his square inch, and he couldn't think of a way to resist the attack of the Ming army, so he could only order someone to report to the imperial capital quickly, and ask Prime Minister Rozov to show him, what to do now!
Because the Ming army blocked the Ob River, Tsarist Russia had to make a big circle to pass the news or transport grain and grass, detour to the southernmost tip of the Siberian Plain, and bypass the entire Ob River Valley, which was a few thousand miles longer, and when Rozov received the news, it was half a month later.
To be honest, it was really hard to believe that six bastions were conquered in one day, and Rozov was equally unbelievable, believing that Golovin was probably lying about the military situation.
Therefore, he sent people to secretly send people to Franz Bekov and Kopelov, who were far away in Siberia, to find out the situation and see if what Golovin said was true.
This back and forth has been more than a month, and the news is of course true, but in this more than a month, the Ming army has taken more than 40 fortresses.
In less than two months, the Ming army took more than half of the fortresses in Siberia, and now Rozov also panicked, he had to send someone to inform Golovin on the one hand, let him go to the Ming army for peace talks, delay the time, and send people to Richelieu for help, this time the allies will not help, Tsarist Russia really can't stand it!
