"Boom ......"

"Boom ......"

Bursting flames exploded on the positions of the expeditionary army. The breastwork collapsed, and earth and rocks splattered. But for the soldiers of the expeditionary army hidden deep in the trenches, the lethality was far less powerful than it seemed.

The time has come to July, and Liu Xian's overseer army has conquered the four cities of Ningyuan, Huining, Guangren and Suiding. The recruits played a great role, and these soldiers were vengeful, fighting desperately when fighting, and they were not merciless when killing the natives! And the Russian army also conquered the four cities of Gongchen, Zhande, Xichun and Taleqi. Unlike Liu Xian's bloody journey, Golpakovsky's march was an evolution from fierce to peaceful.

Golpakovsky really won the hearts and minds of the natives of the Ili region, who had forgotten the ugly face of Tsarist Russia in the past, and also forgot their previous fierce conflicts with Tsarist Russia. One qiē and one qiē have all become 'you and I will' under Liu Xian's bloody conquest!

When Golpakovsky arrived at the last Xichun City, he didn't even spend a single shot, and the local indigenous leaders and rebels surrendered one after another. By now, the Russian army has reached Guangren City, and Golpakovsky's men have gathered 4,000 Ili indigenous rebels.

"Kill......"

Seeing that the Russian artillery was so pressed that the expeditionary army couldn't raise its head. The flowering bombs exploded the positions under Guangren City like a scorched earth, and the indigenous rebels in Ili became excited. As soon as Golpakovsky signaled, several indigenous leaders walked to the front of the rebel army in high spirits, brandishing scimitars and spears, and shouting the true gods, which made the already high fighting spirit and fighting spirit of the indigenous rebel army instantly burst into the table.

"Kill, ......," more than 1,000 indigenous youths shouted and stepped forward.

Behind them, there were more than a thousand soldiers of the indigenous rebels who fought with the Russian army but were not selected, pressing them with envious eyes.

Just like the remnants of Sauron, Xibe, and Manchu and Han around Liu Xian, these Ili indigenous rebels who surrendered to Tsarist Russia were also full of indelible hatred in their hearts. Their hatred for Liu Xian's expeditionary army was irreconcilable with the hatred of the recruits of the expeditionary army for the Ili natives.

Although the upper echelons of these indigenous rebels also knew that the Russian army was sheltering them and wanted them to take the lead, Cheng Dù must have plans to be cannon fodder. In their hearts, if you want to say that they don't care at all, that's impossible. But today, seeing the incessant bombardment of more than a dozen artillery pieces of the Russian army, which blew up the forward positions under the conquering army city, the dissatisfaction in the hearts of the leaders of the indigenous rebel army disappeared. They thought that the expeditionary army would suffer heavy losses in such heavy artillery fire, and that the charge of their own and others would be pure beating of the water dogs.

When the Ili indigenous rebels launched a charge, the Russian artillery was still roaring. When the soldiers of the indigenous rebels were still 200 meters away from the forward position of the expeditionary army, the roar of Russian artillery continued. It wasn't until the soldiers of the Ili indigenous rebels were less than 100 meters away from the forward position of the expeditionary army that the Russian artillery suddenly turned off.

Liu Xian in Guangren City was very jealous of the Russian artillery. This is the essence of Europe's military powers, and it is really not something that today's China can catch up with in one or two steps.

When the Russian artillery fire stopped, the soldiers in the forward positions of the expeditionary army, who had been prepared, drilled out of the artillery holes in the trenches, and aimed their mini rifles at the chaotic troops washed by the tide on the opposite side.

"Bang-"

"Bang-"

"Bang-"

Three squadrons of veterans led three squadrons of recruits, six hundred infantry, excluding the soldiers who had been damaged in the shelling, and three neat rows of fire, so that the Ili indigenous rebels who were about to rush like a tide, the black tide suddenly swelled. It's like encountering an invisible wall, and the momentum of the furious impact is directly gone.

The more than 1,000 charging indigenous rebels fell by one-sixth. Looking at the fallen part of their own people in front of them, the rest of the indigenous rebels were dumbfounded.

Mini-type rifles with a rate of fire of up to six rounds per minute. Although only a small number of soldiers in the expeditionary army can reach this level on the battlefield, the vast majority of soldiers have no problem with a rate of fire of three rounds per minute on the battlefield.

There were six squadrons in the forward position under the city, forming a formation in three 'columns' of horizontal formations. That meant that it only took seven seconds to get a wave of bullets coming. Seven seconds! There wasn't even enough time for the indigenous rebels to be stupid, and new rounds of salvos were fired one after another.

The indigenous rebel army of more than 1,000 people was directly crushed and defeated. They charged forty or fifty meters from the nearest distance between the forward positions and the trenches.

Golpakovsky's brow furrowed without a wrinkle. He had long known that the expeditionary army was equipped with a large number of Mini-style rifles, and he charged the indigenous rebel army just to test the level of the expeditionary army!

Four shots in a minute! Now he's got what he wants.

As for how many people died in the indigenous rebels? What's the matter! Even if all the people are dead, they can't bite off a single hair of him!

"Your Excellency, General, let's attack. With our strength, we will fight in line, and the Qing people will not be our opponents. ”

The Russian army in Central Asia is also armed with Mini rifles. Since 1864 in the Western calendar, there has been a Prussian-Danish War. The Prussian Dresse rear-loading rifle beat the Danish front-loading rifled gun, of course, far less severe than the Austro-Prussian war two years later, but it was also beaten. In addition, after some inspiration from the American Civil War, European countries saw the advantages of rear-loading guns.

The first to do so were Britain and France, whose strength and peaceful circumstances allowed them to consider converting all the front-loading mini-rifles they currently had on hand to rear-loading rifles. Both the UK and France have been modified with side-opening methods, although this makes the foot rider look extremely rudimentary. Before the high-power metal bullet came out, the British and French used linen and paper fixed ammunition, and there was always air leakage. But as soon as the metal bullet came out, the problem was solved.

After the Austro-Prussian War, Russia also began to modify front-loading rifled guns. But no matter the financial resources, the domestic environment and military technology, Tsarist Russia can not be compared with Britain and France, until Liu Xian and Golpakovsky opened the film in Ili, the Russian army in Central Asia still held a Mini-style front-loading rifled gun.

is also a Mini rifle, how can the Russian army think that its strength can win over the expeditionary army?

Not in the more than a dozen artillery pieces of the Russian army, but in the combat quality of the Russian army.

The Russian soldiers on the battlefield can fully fire five rounds in one minute. Absolute superiority can defeat the expeditionary army under the Fit Talent Table face-to-face.

Golpakovsky did not lightly order the Russian army to attack. Golpakovsky, who fought the Crimean War in his early years, knew very well how difficult it would be for the Qing army, which had the advantage of trenches and breastwalls, to destroy.

Although the Russian army is stronger than the opponent on the opposite side in terms of combat effectiveness. But the breastwork and trenches were enough to cancel out all the qiē. In this way, the troops will be sent head-on, and what awaits the Russian army is likely not a victory, but a defeat with heavy casualties.

"No, the artillery continued to bombard, destroying all the fortifications on the positions of the Qing people. Again, report to Tashkent, I want reinforcements. ”

Golpakovsky's eyes were cautious. The Qing army chose a breastwork, trench-style defense rather than a face-to-face direct duel. Although Golpakovsky had 10,000 reasons to despise and despise the Qing army on the other side, believing that the combat effectiveness of the Russian soldiers was definitely far superior to that of the Qing soldiers, as a qualified Russian infantry major general and the commander of an army, he not only had to pursue victory in battle, but also think about the lives of his soldiers.

With 2,000 Russian troops attacking, Golpakovsky was fully sure that he would take the city of Guangren, but he could not estimate how much his soldiers would lose. Golpakovsky is not prepared to take this risk.

In Guangren City, Liu Xian looked at the Russian army with a slight raised eyebrows. didn't even send troops to attack, but chose to continue the bombardment!

What's going on?

Shouldn't Europe in this era, the armies of the great powers in this era, look down on the Qing army and the Chinese to the fullest? Why not attack immediately?

But Golpakovsky did not attack, and Liu Xian had no choice. I had to give the order to withdraw three squadrons from the forward positions, and then do it to see the Russian army fight*.

Flowering bombs exploded on the position, and dust and sand flew ...... R1152
