Chapter 1134: Crashing into it (Page 1/1)

Jakov felt like he was about to freeze to death, the icy water of the river had soaked his clothes.

He had climbed ashore after drifting with the tide of the river, and it was never pleasant to wear wet clothes in such weather.

He decided to run, as long as he exercised, his body would not be so cold. Running also allowed him to quickly return to Yakutsk, informing the Rakshasas there to prepare for an attack by the Far Easterners.

From the short exchange of fire just now, he could judge that the strength of the Far Easterners was at least on par with Tsarist Russia.

If it was a simple competition with firearms, they would have suffered more losses from Tsarist Russia. He had also heard of that kind of ultra-long-range firecracker, but he didn't have the speed of the Far Easterners.

A simple exchange of fire judged that this colonization of the Far East might not go too well, and that this Far Eastern Empire would be their greatest enemy in the Far East.

If he had been the supreme commander of the Far East, he would have abandoned the city of Yakutsk, which had already been built, and waited until the Cossack cavalry arrived to find a way to defeat the Far Easterners.

But he didn't know what the Governor was thinking, and if he had to decide a victory with the Far Eastern Empire, it would be a real disaster.

As he ran, Jakov's body gradually felt no longer as cold as it had just been, his speed became faster and faster, and finally white gas erupted from his mouth.

I don't know how long it took for Yakov to finally see Yakuzk under construction, and the natives they captured were working hard.

From time to time, an overseer with a whip would come to teach the natives a lesson, and a whipped would bring out a bloody streak.

The proximity of Yakov made the vigilant Rakshasas nervous, and when they saw the embarrassed fleeing man, Yakov brought the embarrassed commander back to the unfinished Yakuzk.

"Your Excellency! Retreat now! The people of the Great Empire of the Far East are in the upper reaches of the river, and they may kill the vicinity at any time! Yakov said anxiously when he saw Governor Chekov.

Governor Chekov frowned tightly when he heard Yakov's words, he stood up, poured a glass of wine, handed it to Yakov and said: "Dear friend! Don't be in a hurry, drink a glass of wine and speak slowly! ”

Jakov took the glass and drank the liquor from it, exhaling a long haze before he began to tell what had happened to him. When he finished talking about how he had escaped, Governor Chekov was silent.

He did not deny the strength of the Far Eastern Empire, as Yakov spoke, but they were not unprepared in the slightest.

Not only did the construction of the fortress begin as soon as it arrived in Yakuzk, but the armed merchant ship Shak had not yet returned to the sea.

If nothing unexpected happens, this armed merchant ship should return in half a month, and if it doesn't leave, it will be frozen in the icy water.

Now that the Shak has come in handy, allowing this armed merchant ship to sail into the river to shell the ice city, presumably the people of the Far Eastern Empire will not have the energy to trouble Yakutsk.

As long as it is dragged until the completion of the fortress, Chekov is confident that he will hold it until next year. When the Cossack cavalry arrived next year, it was the time of Tsarist Russia's expansion in the Far East.

Chekov, who had made up his mind, immediately sent a message to the armed merchant ship Shak, telling him to immediately swim against the current to find trouble in the ice city.

And let him buy time for Yakuzk no matter what, even if the Shaq is frozen in the river, he will hold out until the moment Yakutsk is built.

At the same time as the armed merchant ships were dispatched, the whole of Yakutsk was also moving. The natives, who had been forced to rush to work, were busy building the fortress day and night, and even many Rakshasas were involved in the construction of the fortress.

The fortress of Yakutsk is about whether everyone can survive or not, and no one dares to ignore it.

The Rakshasa people who were built a day earlier would have an extra guarantee, and in an instant Yakuzk would become a big construction site day and night.

Amid the incessant cursing of the Captain Shaq, the armed merchant ship slowly sailed upstream. The closer you get upstream, the more turbulent the river becomes, and the narrower the river becomes.

Captain Lelev of the Shaq had to take the helm himself, and in many cases had to send small boats to measure the depth of the river, for fear that armed merchant ships would run aground in the river.

In this way, they drove in the river for a day, and did not see the shadow of the ice city, but saw several galleys of similar style appear on the river.

The galleys were moving at an extremely high speed, approaching his armed merchant ships at high speed. The Shaq was cautious in the narrow river for fear of running aground.

However, the small gunboats of the Changxing Army did not have such concerns, and galloped on the river to their heart's content.

Looking at the armed merchant ship in front of him, a smile unconsciously appeared on the corner of Ma Hu's mouth.

In case such an armed merchant ship is eliminated in the Changxing Army sequence, it will not be used many years ago.

Now Tsarist Russia has sent him to the Far East colonists as a treasure, which shows that the national strength of Tsarist Russia is not very good.

They are also in the far west, otherwise the Changxing Army will teach this group of Rakshasas how to behave in minutes!

The herald hoisted his battle flag, and five gunboats immediately surrounded him. Before the Russian sailors could open fire, the Changxing army took the lead in launching an artillery bombardment.

The small cannons on the five gunboats opened fire one after another, causing the sawdust to fly and shake incessantly on the armed merchant ships.

Lelev did not expect that the small gunboats in the Far East would be the first to open fire, and the two sides were not at all on the same grade in terms of size.

If it were placed on the sea, the Shaq could sink a small gunboat even if it collided, but his size on the river became his biggest weakness.

The clumsy hull was very difficult to aim the most powerful side at the enemy ship, and the whole Shaq was like a wild boar surrounded by wolves, being played around by much smaller gunboats, and could not catch any enemy at all.

The gunboats of the Changxing Army's galleys were much more flexible on the river, changing direction on the river from time to time, and they could always hide in the dead corner of the Shaq and shoot two guns before retreating.

The five gunboats simply pressed the Shaq to the ground and rubbed it, and the tortured Lelev wanted to die.

If it is replaced by a real battleship, the 6-pounder cannon on the Changxing military gunboat is simply tickling the other side, and more than a dozen guns can't break people's ship boards.

But the Shaq was just an armed merchant ship, large but not as thick as it looked.

Being hit by a shell from the Changxing Army also had to shatter the ship's planks, and it didn't take long for the Shaq to become scarred in the battle.

Only one of the gunboats of the Changxing Army was hit by the guns of the Shaq, a large hole was punched in the ship, one gun emplacement was destroyed, and two were killed and four were wounded.

Ma Hu looked at the armed merchant ship of the Rakshasa people who were entangled by the gunboats of the Changxing Army, pointed to the hull of the ship and shouted loudly: "Crash into it!" Capture enemy ships! I want a full chart on board! ”
