Chapter 106: Conquest of the Americas (3)

Leonid ran out of the headquarters and stared at the flames of the battery from afar, glaring in disbelief.

Gunshots rang out from all sides. This is a situation of encirclement, and it is impossible for Leonid, as a commander, not to judge it.

"Boom!"

The castle gate in the south was blown up into powder in an instant.

When four or five Russian soldiers saw that the gate had been breached, they were shocked and hurriedly ran over with their rifles to intercept them.

Several grenades flew in at the same time, emitting a "Boom! Rumble! Rumble! Four or five Tsarist soldiers were blown to pieces in the blink of an eye.

The whole castle, in an instant, was in chaos.

The hunters, in particular, drunken with their rifles in their hands, rushed out of the tavern to assist in the defense.

His attendant officer pulled Leonid, "Captain, the battery has been breached by the British. We have to go to the next position, organize a counterattack, and drive the British back into the sea! ”

After saying that, the attendant officer pulled Leonid, ran back to the headquarters, opened the secret passage, and the two hurriedly ran in.

Soon after, an explosion occurred in the passage, blocking the entrance.

In a small two-story building to the north, five or six young maids persuaded their master in fear, "Miss, the fort and the castle gate have been lost, so let's follow the secret route left by the marquis?" ”

Outside the door, fourteen or fifteen tall and sturdy private guards were restlessly knocking on the wooden door, urging the master to leave.

The tall and fair-skinned girl master, facing the war for the first time, was trembling all over, but he personally supported it. After a brief loss of consciousness, he regained a little of his spirit.

The private guard couldn't shout for a long time, suddenly broke down the door, rushed in, and ran into the dark passage on the first floor in a panic with the girl's master.

The sound of gunfire woke up the sleeping Tlingits, who picked up their homemade and rudimentary weapons in the dark, ready to defend themselves.

In just four or five minutes, Zeng Xiaoying led people to end the battle.

More than 300 meters to the north, halfway up the mountainside, there is a huge cave hidden in the dense pine forest.

A 20-meter-long platform at the entrance of the cave, every two meters, holds 12-pounder and 24-pounder iron cannons.

In the direction of the muzzle, it was the Baranov Castle.

When the Baranov platform exploded, they were already in a state of readiness, waiting for the commander to give the order for an artillery strike.

Leonid crossed the dark passage of more than 500 meters, and did not have time to catch his breath, so he frantically gave the order to shell, "Lieutenant Ivanov, I order you to immediately open artillery and bombard the castle!" ”

"Captain Leonid, Miss Karina is still in the castle, and we can't fire yet!"

An old lieutenant, who had been promoted by Baranov back then, categorically refused.

Leonid's eyes were cold, he suddenly pulled out his flintlock pistol, shot it at Ivanov's eyebrows, and then his eyes swept coldly over all the gunners, "Shoot immediately!" ”

Ye Tan ascended to the castle, and Zeng Xiaoying just wanted to show off to Ye Tan.

Ye Tan opened his perspective eye and looked around. Suddenly gasped. He pointed to the mountainside to the north and said, "Lieutenant Colonel Zeng, there seems to be a fire there." ”

Zeng Xiaoying suddenly hit a spirit and shouted loudly: "Luo Wan, hurry!" Fast! Fast! Set up a mortar for me at once, and give me an attack where there is fire! His eyes were scarlet, he suppressed his cold murderous aura, turned his head to the lieutenant battalion commander who came to report, and said loudly: "Wei Dongwu, take your company immediately and follow me to attack the position on the mountainside." ”

This face is embarrassed, Zeng Xiaoying has to fight a beautiful battle of annihilation in front of Ye Tan in order to raise his head and be a man.

After speaking, Zeng Xiaoying took a Ye's G36 assault rifle from the hands of the guards and took the lead in rushing to the north city wall.

"Boom!" With a bang,

A 12-pound test-firing projectile, dragging a red trajectory, sped from north to south.

"Sell melons! It's shelling! ”

Isabel Lam Melly exclaimed!

This trajectory, the drop point, is where Ye Tan is. Ye Tan's pupils shrank, and he raised Ye's Nagant sniper rifle with lightning in both hands, and he caught it in his mind, that little bit of rapid trajectory, and there were only two instantaneous things in his eyes.

"Phew!"

A gunshot rang out.

"Boom!"

In mid-air, a red-hot cannonball was instantly hit by a fiery red bullet, and a violent explosion occurred.

"Boom ......"

Five 81-mm and seven 120-mm mortars roared angrily halfway up the hill to the north.

"Boom ......"

A dozen mortar shells, dragging a long whistling sound.

"Captain, this is not British!"

The attendant's face turned pale and said in a trembling voice. Because when Napoleon's cannonballs fly, they definitely don't make such a sound.

"Boom, boom, boom......"

Shells around the mouth of the cave, a violent explosion occurred! Countless stones, tumbling down from the mountains, fell on the artillerymen.

In an instant, at the mouth of the entire cave, there was a wolf crying and howling.

"Rowan, 120 mm mortar elevation raised by 0.1!"

Ye Tan's see-through eyes could see clearly, and he immediately ordered.

After speaking, Ye Tan walked down the wall of the castle. Lan Meili's eyes were watery and full of scorching heat. Since Ye Tan shot and exploded the shell, he has never left. She followed briskly after her.

"Second Lieutenant Ronan, bring your men with me!"

Ye Tan shouted loudly as he walked towards the headquarters of the barracks.

Passing through the back door of the headquarters, Ye Tan pointed to a place not far from the collapse and said, "Let the brothers dig down two meters from here, the speed should be fast!" ”

About 30 people, all holding their breath, waved the sapper shovel to dig up the soil. Every ten seconds, a new batch of people is changed.

In just one and a half minutes, a hole two meters long and one meter wide was dug.

Ye Tan was the first to jump down, and the 30 or so people behind him also jumped in quickly.

Half a minute later, Ye Tan's clairvoyant eye found that there was a passage behind several stones camouflaged together.

"Ronan, leave 5 brothers, the others keep walking up 500 meters, which is the entrance of the cave, and then up is the fort leading to the halfway up the mountain, pay attention to safety!"

After Ye Tan finished speaking, he asked the few people left behind to move away from the stones, and suddenly a hole 1 meter high and 1 meter wide appeared in front of everyone's eyes.

It's a threshold. Ye Tan bent over and stepped forward, moving along the dark path.

More than ten seconds later, Ye Tan and the others found a hole.

"The people above have already fled. Leave the two brothers behind and go up to guard the house. Others chased after me. ”

Ye Tan pointed to the entrance of the cave, and after speaking, he chased along the dark path to the northwest.

At this time, Ye Tan's heart was about to have a bottom. The house above this cave must have been left by the former Baranov. In the entire port of Sitka, no one else except him has this power at all.

It is conceivable that the people living here must be the descendants of Baranov.

Ye Tan and the others, walking has been replaced by a fierce run, chasing down.

But Ronan, with the rest of the people, quickly touched the entrance of the cave, killed the two Tsarist soldiers guarding there, and then ordered to accelerate the advance.

On the mountainside, there was a violent explosion. A large number of stones, rolled down from above.

The mountain is steep, about 120 degrees. There is no road at all.

A company of Zeng Xiao's battalion attacking head-on could only shoot from a distance of more than 300 meters.

"Commander, do you want to fire flares?"

A squad leader's subordinate suggested.

Zeng Xiaoying shook his head and said resolutely: "No! Flares are fired, and it is not the Tsarists who suffer, but our own brothers! They were condescending and understood us at a glance. Inform Rovan, save ammunition, let his mortar, change to two combined shots. Let our brothers, divided into left and right wings, outflank us. ”

"Regiment commander, Second Lieutenant Ronan left a message to tell you that a secret passage was found at the back door of the barracks headquarters, leading to the fort above, and asked you to bring your brothers over to support."

The radio signal corps trotted over and reported.
