Chapter 451: Kuznetsk

"What happened? How could the Kyrgyz be so panicked? Yao Yuanjun asked with a frown.

"My lord, Raffle was shot, and his life and death are unknown."

Yao Yuanjun didn't care too much about Ravl's life and death, "Send Ravl to the military medical clinic immediately." ”

"No."

"Bayev, the Kyrgyz are no longer good in this battle, and it will be up to you tomorrow." Yao Yuanjun turned to Bayev and said.

"My lord, after our army enters Tomsk tomorrow, I am going to set it on fire, I wonder if your lord agrees?" Bayev asked softly. Tomsk is a wooden castle that burns down the entire castle in flames, and Mangazea, the economic center of Northwest Asia, was destroyed by fire.

Yao Yuanjun glanced at Bayev, thought for a while, and said, "Yes, I will allow you to set fire." ”

"Tomorrow, our army will definitely take Tomsk." Bayev swore by it.

"You only have one day, and tomorrow if you can't take Tomsk, then the army of the Reich will take over." Yao Yuanjun said coldly.

"Tomorrow I will definitely take Tomsk." Bayev once again swore by it.

"I'm looking forward to you bringing me good news tomorrow."

……

The defeat of the Kyrgyz did not affect the Ming army, and the next day it was business as usual. It was only after one night that the gap in the city of Tomsk was blocked again by the Russian army.

Yao Yuanjun took out his pocket watch and looked at the time, then ordered: "Command artillery shelling, Tomsk must be reopened within an hour." ”

The temporary city wall could not stop the bombardment of the Ming artillery, and in just half an hour, the city wall was torn apart by the fierce artillery of the Ming army.

At this moment, the cavalry of Kalmykia took the opportunity to attack. Ravl's recklessness yesterday made Bayev decide to stay outside the city, and he would not risk his life like Lovell.

The Kalmyk cavalry stormed the city and set it on fire. The houses in Tomsk were also mainly wooden houses, and the effect of arson was very obvious, and soon the city of Tomsk was ablaze with smoke.

The Kalmyks were separated from the Russian army by a raging fire, which not only blocked the counterattack of the Russians, but also the Kalmyk offensive.

"Bayev, the time is about to pass, and when the fire burns out, there will be no time today." Yao Yuanjun glanced at his pocket watch and said.

"Order, the army to attack east." Bayev also knows the truth, and he knows that if Tomsk cannot be taken today, then everything he does today will become a wedding dress for others.

The Kalmyk army bypassed the area where the fire was most intense and launched an attack on the Russian troops inside the city. The smoke inside the city provided effective protection for both sides, and the fighting between the two sides in the city was inseparable. Fighting continued on both sides until the evening, and the Kalmyks still did not take the city of Tomsk.

"Collect the troops!" Yao Yuanjun saw that it was getting late.

"My lord, our army has already controlled most of Tomsk City, give me another hour, and our army will definitely be able to take Tomsk." Bayev pleaded.

"Tomorrow, the Empire's army will take over the battlefield in full."

"Thank you, sir!"

……

In order to take Tomsk before dawn, Bayev led his army to launch a strong attack on Tomsk overnight, and he threw all the reserves in his hands into it.

At this time, the combat effectiveness of the Russian army was off the charts, and it was extremely fierce when fighting. Winning more with less, in the process of the Russian army's conquest of Siberia is a norm. The fierce Russian army, their counterattack was very sharp, the Kalmyk cavalry gradually lost its advantage in the counterattack of the Russian army, and before the time came, the Kalmyk cavalry was driven out of Tomsk.

In the melee, more than half of the Kalmyks were killed and wounded, and hundreds of them were even captured by the Russian army. Fortunately, Yao Yuanjun arranged the Ming army outside the city to suppress the formation, otherwise, it is very likely that the Russian army will take advantage of the night to turn the tables.

By this time, the fire in Tomsk had long been extinguished, and the smell of smoke was still in the air. Yao Yuanjun also looked at the map in the camp, he is now very concerned about the battle of Mangazea, the 10,000 Russian troops gathered in Surgut have gone to reinforce Mangazea, and now in Mangazea, the number of Daming's troops is only slightly more than that of the Russian army, and there is destined to be an unusually tragic battle in Mangazea, and he is now thinking about how to reinforce Mangazea.

"My lord, the Kalmyks have been defeated." A voice came from outside the tent.

"Hmm." Yao Yuanjun only answered softly and did not continue to speak. After dealing with the Russians for so long, Yao Yuanjun still knows the combat effectiveness of the Russian army very well, and he is not surprised by the defeat of the Kalmyks, otherwise he would not have arranged for the Ming army to press the formation outside the city.

"Let the Seventh Army set off overnight and go to Kuznetsk." Yao Yuanjun ordered.

"No."

……

The defeat of the Kalmyks still did not affect the Ming army, and in the eyes of the Ming army, neither the Kyrgyz nor the Kalmyks were worth mentioning at all.

"The defeat of the Kyrgyz and Kalmyks proves that the Russian army in the city has at least one bear, although this bear has been wounded, we still cannot take it lightly." Yao Yuanjun said loudly, "Today, our army must take Tomsk, the battle of Mangazzeya needs our reinforcements, and we can't waste time here anymore." ”

"No."

"Sortie."

The Ming army launched an offensive formation and launched an attack on Tomsk. Yesterday's fire destroyed half of the city of Tomsk, and after days of fierce fighting, the walls of Tomsk no longer existed, which allowed the Ming army to form a formation into the city at the beginning.

The firearms that once beat the Kyrgyz and Kalmyks to the point of running away have completely lost their advantage in front of the Ming army, and only a small number of the Russian army are equipped with apocalypse guns, while the Ming army is fully equipped with apocalypse guns, and the light artillery carried by the Ming army can easily suppress the Russian army in the city There are only a few artillery pieces left.

Relying on the superiority of numbers and firearms, the Ming army engaged in fierce street battles in the city of Tomsk. The Russian army, which was in a desperate situation, could still pose a threat to the Ming army by virtue of its geographical advantage.

An hour and a half later, the Ming army forced all the remaining Russian troops into Tomsk's official residence. The Russian army relied on the official residence to stubbornly resist the attack of the Ming army.

"Tiger squat cannon, use tiger squat cannon to kill this group of dogs." Seeing that it had been hard for a long time, someone shouted loudly at this moment.

The Ming army quickly dragged in a few tiger squat cannons. With the support of the Tiger Squat Artillery, the Russian troops trapped in the official residence lost their last ability to resist. Under a burst of artillery fire, Tomsk's official residence was reduced to rubble.
