Chapter 824: Ringing and Curbing the Clouds
At that time, the sky was high and wide, the sky was like a dome, covering the four fields, and on the large field outside Lebush City, birds were wandering, cattle and sheep were everywhere, and business and travel were endless, which was the most beautiful time of the year in Balkhash Lake in the Western Regions.
At this time, the officers and soldiers defending the city suddenly heard the sound of horses' hooves in front of them, and one or two hundred men and horses ran towards the city without their armor unarmoured, howling as they ran, and they could feel the fear in the expressions of the routs just by listening to the sound.
Lebush is the seat of Duke Osterman, so all the armaments of the entire city are controlled by the Erros, and there is even a musket team at the head of the city, so the officers and soldiers defending the city are naturally controlled by the Erros.
At this time, they saw that the defeated soldiers were all Cossacks, and they were so shocked that they did not dare to slack off at the moment, and hurriedly blew the horn, closed the city gate, and waited until these people walked to the city gate, and carefully interrogated them, and found that it was the men and horses of the more than 1,000 soldiers and horses who had just gone out not long ago, and they were only a thousand out of the city, so how could they come back less than a tenth?
How could the brave and invincible Cossacks suffer such a heavy defeat on their own doorstep?
Could it be that there are strong soldiers who are attacking?
The general of the gate hastened to give the order for the Cossacks to enter the city, and at the same time gave the order to close the city gates as soon as the last soldier entered the city.
When the gates of the city were opened to let the fleeing soldiers enter the city, the soldiers shouted, "Shut the door, close the door, don't let that eastern devil in!" As he spoke, he turned his head to look out of the city, looking frightened and frightened.
The commander of the city followed the gaze of his defeated soldiers to look out of the city, and saw a man riding a Teutonic horse in the distance, hurrying towards the city gate.
The man on horseback was armed with a spear with a man on the head, and he looked like a Cossack!
Moreover, the Teutonic horse was lighter and faster than the other Cossacks, and when the routs at the gate were put into the city, the man rode to the gate of the city, as if it were a few miles away.
"Close the door!
The sound of horses' hooves was heard in a line, and when they reached the gate like a long dragon, the Cossacks who had lost their armor howled in unison: "Kirilenko, close the gate quickly!"
"Oleg, close the door!"
"Ivanov, close the door!"
They shouted the names of the officers and soldiers defending the city, telling them to close the door quickly.
The general who defended the city was called Maxim, and he didn't dare to slack off at the moment, so he immediately ordered the soldiers guarding the city below, "Close the city gate!"
At this time, Lin Zhao had already arrived in front of the city gate.
Although Lin Zhao could not be stopped by the city gate, he did not rush into the city gate, but stopped, sat on his horse, shook the spear in his hand, and threw the Cossack leader to the city.
"Boom!"
The guy's body directly hit the battlement at the head of the city, and it directly smashed the battlement, and the flying stones shot in all directions, hitting the surrounding soldiers, and many people cried out in pain.
The whole city, in addition to howling, was suddenly in a panic.
You must know that the Cossack soldiers are flesh and blood after all, and the battlements at the head of the city are made of stones, but the flesh and blood actually smashed the stones to pieces, which is enough to show the terrifying and terrifying power of the man under the city!
Lin Zhao laughed and shouted in the Erros language: "I am a Chinese ranger, walking on the territory of China, you Eros people dare to close the city gate, is this provoking me?"
Maxim was originally the captain of the Governor Ostermann's personal army, because of his merit, so he was arranged here, in addition to commanding one or two thousand ordinary soldiers, there were also five hundred musketeers, at this time he heard Lin Zhao shouting in the city in the Erros language, he was immediately furious, and immediately made a high-pitched soldier reply: "Chinese boy, this is the territory of the Eros people, you have broken into our territory, you must leave immediately, otherwise my Eros musketeers will let you die without a place to be buried!"
Lin Zhao was furious: "Not an inch of my Great Zhou land can be missing! You Eros people forcibly occupy my Chinese territory, and you dare to try to take it for yourself! This is clearly a provocation to our China!"
"If you provoke me, I can still leave one or two hundred lives for a thousand people, and provoke my country, then I will make you fear forever!"
After speaking, the spear in his hand shook and his legs were clamped.
The Teutonic horse under his crotch suddenly hissed, and his two front hooves stood high, and then he rushed forward!
"Da Da Da"
The horses flew on all fours, and in an instant they had already reached the vicinity of the city gate, and the musketeers on the city wall had already been waiting for him, and when they saw that he was really beating the horses, they were all in an uproar, and before the leader could order, they had already raised their guns and shot at Lin Zhao.
"Woohoo!"
It sounded like fried beans in the city, and the sound of bullets breaking through the air suddenly became dense and overwhelming in front of Lin Zhao.
"Hey, hey!"
The spear in Lin Zhao's hand danced rapidly, and under a cloud of light and shadow, all the bullets in the sky were sent flying, and he shouted, "It seems that you Eros are challenging my limits?"
His words were so loud that they were like thunderbolts, and the musketeers on the city wall all shook their eardrums, and their brains boomed, and many of them suddenly trembled in their wrists, trembling all over, and the muskets in their hands fell to the ground.
There are also many people who can't control themselves, and even people with guns fall directly from the city, falling half to death.
Maxim has a strong physique, far surpassing everyone else, so his ability to resist blows is also a little stronger, but Rao is like this, and he can't help but stumble, and his heart is inexplicably sad and indignant, "We Eros warriors have worked hard to fight the place, you actually want to take it away with a word? It's even more ruthless than the Ottoman Sultan!"
But there was more fear in his heart.
Because of so many musketeers, the firepower fired was enough to resist the attack of 5,000 Dzungar cavalry, but it couldn't hurt the person under the city at all!
It's terrifying.
Xin said: "Fortunately, there is a city to stop me, we must tell Duke Ostermann as soon as possible, and try our best to subdue or destroy this person!"
At this time, the bullets fired by the musketeers were still non-stop.
Lin Zhao kept waving the spear in his hand, and his heart was furious, and he shouted: "Erros, get out of the Chinese city immediately!"
Maxim said angrily: "Chinese, if you can break through this city, you can naturally move in!"
Lin Zhao was also furious when he heard this: "What? is this provoking me to my face?"
"Okay, then I'll accept your challenge!"
With that, as soon as his legs were clamped, the modified Teutonic horse slammed straight into the closed gate.
Before the horse's head touched the city gate, Lin Zhao's spear had already blasted the city gate open, and in the loud noise, Lin Zhao kept fighting, and the spear in his hand waved like the wind, just killing the soldiers in front of him in an instant.
He then passed through the gates and entered the city of Lebush.
When he stopped his horses and turned back to look at the city, he saw that Maxim had turned and stood at the head of the city, glaring at him, and exclaiming: "You are a warrior! But the great Tsar never bows to any enemy!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he heard Lin Zhao raise his head and let out a long roar, which exploded in his ears like a thunderbolt, shaking him dizzy, and he fell directly from the city gate.
Lin Zhao's heart was pure and powerful, and the long howl instantly surpassed the thunder and lightning, like the raging sea waves, the highest and top tsunami typhoon, endless, endless.
For a moment, the people on the scene shouted that the horses neighed, and the horses were frightened and jumped wildly, throwing many cavalrymen to the ground and trampling to death, and the sound of crying fathers and mothers was endless.
The howling sound became higher and louder, and the sound of rolling thunder spread for dozens of miles, and tens of thousands of residents in the entire Lebush city suddenly let out the sound of crying fathers and mothers, and the streets were in chaos.
Governor Ostermann was discussing the military situation in the governor's palace, and at this time, he only heard Jiao Lei ringing in his ears, and when he reacted, all the generals and civil officials in front of him fell to the ground, bleeding profusely.
The Governor also felt groggy, his heart was sweet, his throat was salty, and streams of warm liquid flowed out of his mouth.
On August 18 of the sixth year of the Great Zhou Xiaode, Lin Zhao rode alone and rode on a horse, and the long roar in his mouth shocked all the Eros and Dzungars.
After burning down all the warehouses, he calmly left.
After he entered the city, he hardly killed anyone except at the head of the city.
But as soon as they left the city, the Eros were in a desperate situation and fear.
Without food, the Erros soldiers, who had lost their combat effectiveness, were simply unable to suppress the Dzungar and Kazakh forces inside.
So soon, the Eros people held a white flag and sent an envoy to sue for peace with the Great Zhou.
The two sides soon began negotiations.
The negotiations lasted only three days.
When the deputy envoy Lin Zhao appeared at the negotiating table, the Eros people were completely relented.
So the whole negotiation was reached almost overnight.
Within a month, the Eros withdrew from all the Kazakh, Dzungar, and Weitra Mongol occupations, and compensated the Great Zhou with 500,000 taels of silver, 50,000 muskets, and 100 artillery pieces......
In addition, all the lists of Dzungar and Kazakh traitors should be handed over......
