Chapter 95: Brutal Siege II
Li Liguo stared at the herald with a cold gaze and said, "What I said is everything, am I not expressing it clearly enough?" Well? ”
The herald straightened up and took the order......
In this attack, Li Liguo only used thousands of prisoners and cannon fodder, such a large acropolis, thousands of people are enough, but unfortunately, these thousands of people are not angry, if they can survive the first round of salvos and sprint forward in the gap filled by the opponent, they can definitely put the siege equipment on it!
Then, the Warlord team behind will be transformed into a siege echelon and use siege equipment to climb the city wall!
Well, during this period, someone will detonate the gunpowder of the security and blow up the city gate!
It looks quite comprehensive, but the execution is not so simple, and the lethality of firearms is definitely not something that ordinary people can hold!
The Russian officer defending the city, looking at the rebel troops opposite, pulled out the cannon fodder soldiers who had retreated in batches, stabbed them to death one by one with bayonets, and his face became extremely heavy, he knew that Joseph Vissarionovich Stalin on the opposite side was determined to capture Orenburg!
Hey, if even one of the 3 reinforcements could enter Orenburg intact, it wouldn't end up in this situation......
Naturally, the reason for the use of bayonets was that Li Liguo had no source of logistics at present, and even though the musket bullets and gunpowder were sufficient, in line with the principle of economy, Li Liguo still preferred to use bayonets to carry out the execution.

It's just that this method of execution is extremely cruel to the victim, and it's okay to stab the bayonet into the vital point, but if the stab is a little off, the pain is ......
Well, a good warning can be given to the living!
Another group of prisoners and cannon fodder were pulled up, and these people all witnessed the fate after returning from the rout, and they were also told again and again by the propaganda officers how to persevere and achieve victory......
The officer didn't say a word about how much casualties he would have to pay for doing that!
The horn of the charge was sounded again, and this time, the warlords behind also slowly followed, separated by a certain distance, to ensure that they were always out of the range of the opponent's muskets......
Of course, these overseers are peasant rebels!
The Russian defenders who tasted the sweetness were still the same routine, at close range, a wave went down, and they were like pushing into a building block, and they lay down a corpse!
Although these cannon fodder captives were told that they must not retreat, the cannon fodder who were beaten were still subconsciously, or instinctively, ran backwards!
This time, the overseers behind raised their flintlock pistols without hesitation, and under the command to fire, they knocked down the cannon fodder in a row!
At this time, there was a two-level division among the cannon fodder captives, and some of the cannon fodder captives who had a nervous breakdown continued to run blindly towards the rear, as if they did not realize that the muskets of the overseer would also kill themselves......
The rest of the brain still has reason, gritted his teeth and turned back to continue to control the equipment, and rushed to the city wall with a crazy scream!
I kept comforting myself in my heart, it's going to be soon, it's about to push to the place, and I can live when I get to the place!
As theoretically said, after a wave of outbreaks, the reloading time was too slow, and the distance of dozens of steps quickly crossed over, but unfortunately, just as these cannon fodder captives were glad to have completed the task and ran backwards, the musketeers on the city wall almost face-to-face shot these cannon fodder captives under the city!
Subsequently, a wave of grapeshotfire cleaned up the surviving cannon fodder captives again!
Yes, in Li Liguo's eyes, on the battlefield under the city, the volley of artillery and muskets is like washing the ground, and Li Liguo is a little intoxicated by the speed of casualties......
The power of a volley of firearms is terrifying!
However, the purpose of these cannon fodder captives is already in place, and next, it is up to the peasant rebel army to storm it!
The peasant rebels took advantage of the gap in the second round of outbreaks, shouting Ulla and rushing up the ladder that had been arranged, and before these peasant rebels climbed the city wall, the muzzles of those Russian soldiers stretched out again, and in some places where they rushed fast, they were even pulled the trigger by the muzzle of the gun against their chests!
This time the salvo was clearly not as neat as before, and it was clear that the Russian defenders had no time to wait for the salvo to be fired in formation!
The artillery was reloaded more slowly, and after the musket salvo, the grapeshot of the artillery had not yet been fired, and these peasant rebels were at the moment of demoralization, pushing away the corpses in front of them, and climbing up little by little with their flintlock pistols loaded with bayonets!
There are also specially selected peasant soldiers with good marksmanship below, who shoot accurately at close range under the city walls!
Bang~
With a loud bang, while the defenders of the city wall were desperate with the troops who climbed the city, the gunpowder at the city gate was completely detonated!
No matter how strong the city gate is, it can't withstand the explosion of excessive gunpowder, which is why in the wars of the 18th and 19th centuries, the focus of siege warfare shifted to street warfare in the city.
The successful blasting of the city gate undoubtedly raised the morale of the peasant rebel army to a critical point again, and the front-line commander waved his hand, and the second echelon, which had already been prepared, quickly rushed up and charged towards the collapse of the blasted city gate!
"Ulla! Ulla! ”
"Long live freedom!"
"Long live Stalin!"
Chanting all sorts of slogans, the raging peasant rebels stepped into the ruined area at the city gates, where they were greeted by the Russian defenders lined up in a neat phalanx!
When the peasant rebels rushed down the abandoned area, the Russian officers blocking behind the gap shouted: "Prepare ~~~"
"Fire!"
Bang bang bang......
A neat volley of guns was fired, and the peasant rebels shouting for Ula suddenly fell to their knees!
The Russian veterans, who had completed the salvo, fearlessly inserted their bayonets, shouted the same Ula sound and the tsar's charging slogan, and ran into it head-on with their bayonets!
What you want on the battlefield is this kind of indomitable momentum!
Obviously, the resolute Russian veterans, who played this aspect to the fullest, directly pushed back the charge of the peasant rebel army!
The abandoned area of this gap is full of the corpses of soldiers on both sides, and the battle on the city wall continues!
The front-line commander, seeing that the attack was thwarted, immediately ordered to throw another reserve of the third echelon!
Li Liguo's troops are somewhat, even if it is a tactic of adding oil, it will grind you to death!
The new force of the third echelon replaced the second echelon that was knocked back and rushed into the gap again!
The Russian veterans looked at the peasant rebels and their few remaining teammates who rushed up again, and sang the national anthem of the Russian Empire loudly! (To be continued.) )
