Chapter 94: Brutal Siege War I

"The great and benevolent leader Joseph Vissarionovich Stalin has given you tsarist lackeys a chance to mend your ways, and I hope you will take this opportunity to see the acropolis in front of you?

Your task is very simple, drive the ladder to the city wall, then wrap the explosives at the city gate and bury it, the task of the battle will be carried out by the heroic rebel soldiers, you only need to do some 'easy' work, you can gain the tolerance of the leader Joseph Vissarionovich Stalin, if you can't even do such a simple thing~

Hmph, the heroic and fearless rebels don't need cowards! ”

A subordinate officer in a panting black military uniform straightened his military uniform and strode away from the place after pleading in front of a group of Russian soldier prisoners, while the peasant officer in charge of commanding the prisoners' cannon fodder took the place of the departing Joseph Vissarionovich Stalin's Guards officer, and shouted to the group of trained prisoners: "Now go and get your equipment, according to the tasks assigned to you, go and prepare, and in 10 minutes, the siege will begin!" ”

When the captives came to their respective siege equipment with numb expressions, a siege horn sounded on time!

The peasant officer who was commanding on the sidelines drew his personal broadsword and swung it forward: "Attack!" ”

The peasant rebels with flintlock pistols behind them raised their bayonets forward, and the meaning was self-evident!

The Russian captives, in desperation, carried the ladder and the explosives bag, and moved forward slowly. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Although the work of these captives is very easy, they don't have to face the enemy head-on, but the people who walk in the front, otherwise they will be hit by the fiercest fire of the defending troops, and the chances of surviving are ......

Can these Russian prisoners who have fought still not know in their hearts?!

This is really a life-and-death mission!

Orenburg as a military fortress in the east of the Russian Empire, naturally it is impossible to be alone in a city, in fact, this fortress is surrounded by many small acropolis and fortifications, and the interior can support each other, if the army directly attacks the main city, it will be bombarded by the condescending artillery bombardment of the surrounding acropolis, and if you force the attack, you will definitely be bombed very sour!

Therefore, if you want to storm Orenburg, you can only pull out the surrounding acropolis and defensive batteries one by one, this is a vast work, not to mention the length of time, not to mention the soldiers who defend the city more than twice as much, it is not to want to bulldoze the Orenburg fortress......

This is the reason why Li Liguo had to use these Russian prisoners as cannon fodder, because he was worried that if the peasant rebel army suffered too heavy casualties, before it reached the main city, the morale would drop to the freezing point, and at that time, if he attacked the most difficult main city, he could only use the main force of his descendants!

This is Li Liguo's reluctance!

Fortunately, the three victories allowed Li Liguo to accumulate enough Russian prisoners, who were only used as mere coolies before, and now I can only apologize, you have to 'repay' the unkillable grace of the leader Joseph Vissarionovich Stalin with your lives!

Most of the defenders of the Orenburg Fortress are veterans of the Russian Empire, which is also the reason why the resistance is extremely stubborn, these Russian veterans with a sense of honor as soldiers, if they are not convinced, they will never surrender!

In the 18th century, when the army was awakened to honor, the elite soldiers of various European powers were very tenacious in battle, and nearly half of the casualties were killed in a battle, which was a fairly common phenomenon!

Of course, this phenomenon of huge loss of troops is also the reason why the backward serfdom system of the Russian Empire is about to collapse, except for a few elites, the ordinary soldiers of the Russian Empire are almost all composed of serfs with a huge population base, and this group of soldiers who have not even separated from the status of slaves, in addition to the number, really do not have much advantage over the armies of other European powers......

This is also the reason why the Russian Empire pays attention to fighting bayonets, rather than paying attention to queuing for shooting and queue training, fighting bayonets can maximize the blood in the hearts of Russians, and to a certain extent, make up for the unstable morale of serf soldiers!

However, later, the rulers of the Russian Empire also realized the problem of serf soldiers, and constantly improved the treatment of soldiers, and even relieved the status of serfs, which really raised the morale of the soldiers of the Russian Empire, and also won the 'honorary title' of gray livestock......

"Rush! Hurry up, you me run! ”

How could these officers who had been temporarily promoted be so angry when they were selected to rush to the front line with these cannon fodder, who were overseen by the peasant officers of the rebel army, who were punching and kicking the reluctant Russian prisoners, were so angry that they were originally selected to rush to the front line with these cannon fodder?!

Besides, these peasant officers didn't have much security if they weren't in front of them......

The Russian prisoners carried siege equipment and entered a distance of 100 meters with fear, and these Russian prisoners looked at the city wall not far away suspiciously, why hadn't they fired their cannons yet?

The Russian officers defending the city saw at a glance the virtue of these cannon fodder who were put in the front row in front of them, and it often only takes one ruthless blow to deal with this kind of 'garbage' that has been forced up, and they will cry and cry for their mother!

Sure enough, when the Russian prisoners in the first row entered the best firing range, rows of muzzles suddenly appeared on the city wall, and under the loud orders of the officers, the muskets and all the guns loaded with grapeshot came to a perfect slaughter!

Li Liguo looked at the blood mist that suddenly erupted in front of him, his brows furrowed slightly, it seems that the defenders of Orenburg are all veterans, and they can endure this distance before firing, not to mention those cannon fodder prisoners, even if they let the rebel army go, most of them will be beaten so that they don't even know his mother......

Of course, the captives and cannon fodder who charged ahead, together with those peasant officers, were directly eliminated by more than half, and then first confused, and then mentally broken!

Even if there are rows of warlords standing in the back, these captives will not play!

Li Liguo looked at the cannon fodder of the captives who were broken down by a wave, his face flashed with anger, he knew that the next siege battle would inevitably be very tragic, and let the soldiers obediently send them to death, well, I mean the fastest and easiest way to attack the city, naturally let them know that it is very likely to die if they rush forward, and they must die if they retreat!

"Tell the Overseer that all the strikers who escaped from the battle will be executed!"

When the herald heard such a brutal order, he asked weakly: "What about the officers who were temporarily appointed?" (To be continued.) )
