Chapter 1325: Shelling Irkutsk

"Thank you for the emperor's grace, the sinner is willing to forever town Mobei, guard the northern frontier for the Ming Dynasty, be loyal, if there is disobedience, I am willing to be punished by God!"

Norbu's heart was moved, on the one hand, he was a rebel minister who had just surrendered, and on the other hand, he was the emperor's in-laws, which was near and farther, it was clear at a glance, the emperor chose himself without hesitation, it was just a promise, such an emperor, if he was not loyal to him, to whom would he be loyal to?

Song Jiaxing hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, that, where ...... Niangniang"

Zhu Jie muttered: "Merge all the Manchuria areas north of the Songhua River into Hulunbuir, and seal Wu Keshan as the king of Hulunbuir County, the region north of Heilongjiang, no matter how much he has played, is from the Horqin Department. ”

Song Jiaxing had no choice but to give up.

Zhu Jie continued: "Jiaxing, now that Tubazov has withdrawn, Duan Xuan is besieging Irkutsk, I don't know how the battle situation is, you lead the Bahrain Department and the first town of the elite cavalry, immediately rush to Irkutsk to respond, be sure to uproot the surrounding Rakshasa forces, around the Daimyo, no one Rakshasa country is allowed to set up a military presence, even if there is only one Rakshasa soldiers!" ”

"Obey the order!"

Song Jiaxing hurriedly agreed.

"Norbu, now that Gunbu has fled, where do you think he will flee?"

Zhu Jie asked.

Norbu hurriedly replied in a deep voice: "Emperor Qizuo, now that Kulun City has been taken by us, the east is the territory of the Zasaktu Department and the Korqin Department, he definitely does not dare to stay in the east, it is possible in the north, but it is not very likely, after all, it will be a bitter cold land again, their newly defeated army, there is nothing, more than a month, the cold winter in Mobei is coming, they can't survive it at all!" Now the only possibility is to flow westward, the Chechen department is in the west, now that the base is dead, the Chechen department has no leader, and it is very likely that the dove will occupy the magpie's nest and occupy the Chechen department......"

Zhu Jie nodded, and said in a deep voice: "Wu Shosai, lead the cavalry of the Weng Niu Special Department and Norbu together, continue to encircle and suppress the gunbu, be sure to sweep away the rest of the gunbu, and if the banners of the Mobei tribes can be appeased, try to be gentle and appeased, don't kill too much......."

Zhu Jie deployed them one by one, he was personally waiting for news in Kulen City, and now the army of Gunbu has been defeated, and the remaining remnants of the army are defeated, and there is not much combat effectiveness left, and there is not even a need for the Tianwei army to take action, the Monan cavalry alone can solve the Gunbu, and the only hidden danger is Tubazov's Rakshasa soldiers.

How greedy and cruel Tsarist Russia is, Zhu Jie couldn't be clearer, if he wants to ensure that he will not accept the threat of Tsarist Russia in the next two or three hundred years, then he must completely beat them up when the Rakshasa country comes, and they will never dare to expand to the east, as for the West, they can toss as much as they like, even if they take the nest of England, it doesn't matter.

Irkutsk, Duan Xuan after a month's long march, finally arrived in Irkutsk, here is not so much a city, but rather a fortress of soldiers, without any ordinary residents, almost all of them are the troops from the Rakshasa country, Tubazov along the way, took in 3,000 bandits, all of them were integrated into the Rakshasa army, however, in order to be able to help the Mobei Sanbu, Tubazov took away all the elites in one go, leaving only more than 1,000 people to watch the family, Even these more than a thousand people did not have decent weapons in their hands, let alone arquebuses, not even enough knives and guns for each person, and some even carried pine sticks with a dagger tied to the top.

It's just that Irkutsk is far away next to the North Sea, deep into Siberia, even if it is just now in the ninth lunar month, it has begun to enter the cold climate, if it is a month late, into October, then the temperature of the entire Irkutsk will reach minus ten degrees or even more than twenty degrees, Rao is Manmeng New Town are all northerners, accustomed to the cold weather, to here, there will be a huge inconvenience.

Duan Xuan knew that this was a chance given to him by the emperor, he was not in a good position, even Niangniang's father Khan was killed in battle, and he lost the face of the Tianwei Army, if he returned again this time, without the emperor's decree, he would have no face to live!

In the distance, Irkutsk stands tall, although the city is not big, but this is a fortress, similar to Shanhaiguan, Juyong Pass and other passes, easy to defend and difficult to attack, if you want to take it in the shortest possible time, I am afraid that you will have to pay a lot of price.

"Order, set up all three artillery pieces that I have written, aim at the southern city of Irkutsk, and concentrate on bombarding one of their points, without stopping, until the gap is blown open for me!"

Duan Xuan shouted coldly.

Manmeng New Town was originally equipped with five flowering cannons and ten red-coated artillery, but in the original war, the artillery was destroyed or lost, and there were only three flowering cannons left, as well as a few shells, all the shells added together, but there were only five or six hundred rounds, Jilin was two or three thousand miles away from here, and the shells in the rear were not so easy to send, whether they could break through the city or not, it all depended on these shells.

The artillerymen pulled up the three guns, advanced to a position less than three miles from the city of Irkutsk in one go, and immediately launched an artillery bombardment towards the city!

Rumble! Rumble! Rumble!

Three cannon shots, shaking the heavens and the earth!

Now it is already the rhythm of winter, Irkutsk is far away from the population, and the ghosts will come here in the cold weather, yes, during this time, the Rakshasa soldiers didn't even bother to send out scouts, knowing that the Ming army had been driving to the feet, and they only found that the Rakshasa soldiers in the city had not had time to make a deployment, and the Ming army directly launched an artillery bombardment.

Three cannonballs smashed on the city wall and exploded in an instant, and the unlucky Rakshasa soldiers had never seen the flowering cannon at all, and they were directly blown out by the powerful explosion!

The Rakshasa soldiers at the head of the city all gasped, so powerful, such powerful artillery, they had never seen it!

"Quick, give the order, immediately prepare for battle, prepare for battle, all the soldiers are on the top of the city, ready to fight!"

The general in the city, Elgüv, roared hysterically, it was too unlucky, General Tubazov took all the main forces to the Mobei grassland, and now all that remains in the city are a group of wine bags and rice bags......
