"Artillery ready, give me a hard shot!" Brigadier General Wang Liangchen, commander of the 6th Cavalry Brigade, ordered. He was sure that the provincial government in the city had been attacked by the separatists. The young marshal Wu Haoxuan is also in the city, and he must enter the city as soon as possible and send reinforcements. If Wu Haoxuan had an accident in Kulun City, how could he explain it to the marshal?

The 6th Cavalry Brigade had an artillery battalion, but it was a two-company artillery battalion with only 18 75-mm field guns. However, the artillery battalion was equipped with the latest 75mm field guns, and while ensuring that the weight was controlled at about one ton, the rate of fire was increased to ten rounds per minute, which was much higher than the previous M1904 field gun.

In ten minutes, the 18 75-mm field guns of the artillery battalion were erected, and the muzzles of the guns were pointed at the low walls of the Kulenna.

"Hell! Those yellow-skinned monkeys actually have so many cannons, doesn't it mean that they only have two or three thousand cavalry here? How could the cavalry be armed with so many cannons? Colonel Mikhail on the ramparts looked panicked. In his memory, cavalry would never have such a powerful firepower. Even the Russian Cossack cavalry, the main weapons were nothing more than carbines and sabers. Only a small number of light guns were equipped. But the cavalry of the Northern Army in front of him is no worse than the infantry!

Originally, he thought that with the help of the city wall, he should be able to resist the attack of the cavalry of the Northern Army. After all, the walls limited the charge of the cavalry, and the Russians could hide on the walls and shoot those cavalry. However, when the cavalry was also equipped with strong firepower, everything was reversed. The caravan led by Colonel Mikhail, though numerous, was all retired soldiers, armed with rifles and a small number of heavy machine guns. How is it possible to confront a regular army with heavy firepower? Isn't that self-defeating?

With the order of the commander of the artillery battalion of the 6th Cavalry Brigade. 18 M1907 field guns began to roar. Orange-red flames glittered in the muzzle of the cannon, and the five-kilogram cannonball smashed into the low walls of the city of Cullen.

"Shelling, hide!" The armed commanders of the Russian caravans on the city walls shouted loudly. Those Russians were lying on the city wall. Pray to God that the shells do not fall on their heads. There were also some cowardly people who rushed to the bottom of the city walls first, trying to escape from this place full of dangers.

"Boom! Rumble! Rumble! "The cannonballs exploded in the air, and small lead bullets were thrown down from the exploding cannonballs like scattered flowers. Under the action of high-speed kinetic energy, those lead bullets the size of little fingers can easily beat the human body into a sieve.

"Damn, it's a shrapnel!" Colonel Mikhail hid in a bunker and cursed viciously.

A shrapnel is a type of shell that is filled with a small buckshot projectile. This kind of shell is specially designed against soft targets. If the human body is exposed, it will be very fragile in front of the shrapnel. Depending on the set fuse, the shrapnel will explode over the target. The small lead bullet contained in it can shoot in all directions like a goddess scattering flowers, easily harvesting the lives of those targets.

The Russians hastily set up defenses on the low walls of Kulen, and there was no time to build fortifications. This gave the Northern Army a place to use the shrapnel it was equipped with. When a cannon attacks with a grenade shotgun, it's fast. The Russians on the walls suffered heavy casualties. There were broken corpses everywhere, blood was flowing all over the ground, and stumps and severed arms were flying everywhere.

"Grenades! Heavy machine gun cover, ready to blow open the city gates! Brigadier General Wang Liangchen issued a new order.

The shelling stopped abruptly, which made the Russians on the walls breathe a sigh of relief.

"Prepare to defend, those damn yellow-skinned monkeys are going to attack!" Colonel Mikhail yelled. Some junior officers. drove the caravan fighters and prepared to defend against the attack of the Northern Army.

But then, the artillery of the Northern Army opened fire again. It's just that this time the shells fired are no longer shrapnels. Rather, a grenade. Shells exploded on the city wall, dazzling fireballs exploded on the city wall, and scattered shrapnel wantonly harvested the lives of Russians.

"Despicable yellow-skinned monkeys, they shamelessly use such tactics!" Colonel Mikhail was almost mad. Seeing the Russians exposed on the city walls being torn to shreds in the shelling, he even had the heart to die.

At the same time, the cavalry of the Northern Army had approached the city walls. At a distance of about a kilometer from the city walls, mortars were erected with a gate. Then, the mortars also began to roar, firing shells into the city wall as fast as they could. Compared with field artillery, mortars have a more curved trajectory and can accurately deliver shells to the city walls. This put the Russians on the walls almost completely at a disadvantage.

A squad of cavalry began to rush towards the city wall at a rapid pace. Their warhorses prepared explosive packs, ready to blow up the walls of Cullen in one fell swoop, and then storm the city.

"Damn! They are going to blow up the gates and open fire on them! Colonel Mikhail ordered.

"Bang! Bang! Bang! "Crisp gunfire rang out, and several brave Russians leaned out of the walls and opened fire on the cavalry. But before they could hit their target, the heavy machine-gun bullets that swept through them had already beaten the Russians into a sieve.

"Heavy machine gun ready, fire!" Colonel Mikhail shouted loudly.

However, the heavy machine gun was just pushed up. A mortar shell that fell from the sky blew the heavy machine gun into parts.

The cavalry easily rushed to the city gates. Untie the explosives pack from the horse and place it under the city gate. As soon as the fuse is lit, the horse gallops so as not to be affected by the shock wave generated by the explosion of the explosive pack.

A few seconds later, an earth-shattering explosion rang out. The power of the explosion of dozens of kilograms of explosives easily tore the walls of Cullen City to pieces.

"Rush!" Brigadier General Wang Liangchen, commander of the 6th Cavalry Brigade, gave an order, and more than 1,000 cavalrymen of the 1st Cavalry Battalion immediately launched an attack.

At this moment, the Russians on the city wall had been completely suppressed by the powerful firepower of the Northern Army. With heavy casualties, they could not form any obstacle to the cavalry of the Northern Army, and could only let the cavalry of the Northern Army rush into the city.

The cavalrymen brandished their sabers and slashed at the Russians. Although, the Russians are tall and tall, much taller than the soldiers of the Northern Army. However, under the charge of the cavalry, there was no resistance at all.

While the 6th Cavalry Brigade was storming the city walls, private troops controlled by the Mongol separatists also launched an onslaught against the provincial government. Unlike the previous mobs, these privateers were armed with Russian-made Mosin Nagant rifles.

It's just that even so, they are far from being able to compare with the Northern Army. These private soldiers have the advantage of troops. In order to win the provincial government, those Mongolian princes and nobles can be regarded as having made a bloody investment. More than 2,000 private soldiers were all dispatched. They thought that with a tenfold advantage in troops, it should not be a problem at all to take down the provincial government. But what they never expected was that the provincial government stationed in the defense province was not more than 200 people in one company at all, but more than 400 people in two companies. Wu Haoxuan's guards also have the size of a company.

"Rush! Kill all those dogs! The privates shouted slogans and charged with rifles. However, they were greeted by a rain of bullets from the Northern Army. Under the blow of a network of crossfire composed of light and heavy machine guns, these private soldiers suffered heavy losses. Almost every step forward leaves behind casualties. However, it has not been able to achieve much results.

Mortars and light and heavy machine guns erected on the provincial government building poured fire on them in a condescending manner, harvesting the lives of these private soldiers. Many Mongolian private soldiers, without even touching the side of the provincial government, have already lost their lives.

"Damn, how can this be?" Prince Hangda Dorji hid in a safe place and watched the tide of battle unfold. Seeing his private soldiers fall to the ground one after another, his heart is dripping blood!

"Your Royal Highness, the firepower of those Han dogs is so strong, what should we do? If we can't win the provincial government, won't we die? Another Mongol prince asked with a worried expression.

"We will definitely take the provincial government!" Prince Hangda Dorji said viciously.

Under his orders, the Mongol privates launched an even more fierce attack. However, there was no other effect than leaving a corpse on the ground.

"Humph! Those stupid guys, don't they know that in the face of powerful dense firepower, such an offensive method is simply looking for death? Wu Haoxuan was on the building of the provincial government, looking at the suicidal attack of the Mongolian private soldiers, and couldn't help but shake his head.

"Send a telegram to General Wang, when can I enter the city?" Wu Haoxuan asked. He didn't want to waste any more time.

"Yes, young marshal!" Zhao Hu nodded.

At this moment, an earth-shattering explosion was heard in the direction of the city gate.

"Young marshal, it should be our cavalry who blew up the city gate." Zhao Hu said excitedly.

"Hmmm! It seems that the battle is coming to an end. Wu Haoxuan's face also showed a hint of a smile.

The cavalry of the Northern Army, which had entered the city, galloped wildly, and the sabers raised in their hands emitted a cold glow in the sunlight. Every time the saber in his hand falls, it can bring up a stream of blood and take away a life of the enemy. The Russian caravan armies, as well as the Mongol private soldiers, were like mantis arms as chariots under the attack of the cavalry of the Northern Army. (To be continued......)
