Chapter 629: This Battle Can't Be Fought
Now Sands City is quite empty, and if the previous information is correct, there should be only about 2,000 defenders left in the city......
What the hell is Ivan, a foreign devil, doing!
In fact, it was not Ivan who did it, but Olga and Vasily who did it.
Olga had a fight with Ivan, and the more she thought about it, the more angry she became, but after she got angry, she was a little afraid.
Because he completely offended Ivan today, although everyone is a major general, Ivan is still the chief general of Sands City after all, and he is Governor Peter's person, if this guy pretends to clean himself up under the order of Governor Peter, it will be really difficult to do.
Although Ivan is usually silent, he is actually ruthless and decisive, and there will definitely be no good fruit to eat in his hands!
Instead of sitting and waiting, it is better to take the initiative to attack Changshan City, if it succeeds, it will prove his Ivan's cowardice, and his own correctness, even if the lawsuit reaches the empress in the future, it will be his own reason!
Fearing that things would change after dawn the next day, he immediately made a decision and led the fleet to set off overnight, preparing to launch a surprise attack on the north bank of Changshan along the Bailong River.
Vasily had similar thoughts to Olga, and he also wanted to take the lead, knowing that Ivan would definitely not agree to his troops, so he broke out at night.
The reason why he was so anxious was that he was afraid that after Governor Peter and they defeated Qin Gang, they would also occupy Changshan City, so that they would not be able to get anything......
Napoleon was truly a world-class military commander, and he had long analyzed the inferiority of the Rus' cavalry clearly, clearly, undisciplinedly, and insatiably......
When Ivan learned the news that Vasily and Olga had openly disobeyed the order to send troops, he almost fainted in anger!
Immediately order the people to split up and chase after them, and order the two stupid bastards to get back to me immediately, or else cut off their heads and bring them back to me!
But none of his men dared to carry out this order.
Because maybe before we can draw our swords, these two will cut off our heads first, and they don't even bird General Ivan, you yourself, can you still bird us?
Just as he was thundering, an urgent report came from the head of the city, saying that the enemy army had arrived at the city!
Enemy? Where did the enemy troops come from? How many people are there?
He replied that he didn't know, because it was too dark outside to see clearly, but under the grass and trees, I felt that there were more than 10,000 people!
Ivan hurriedly put on the battle, rushed to the city, and saw that Xiao Chen's army under the city had been unfolded, and the black pressure was densely packed with a large area, and he really couldn't see how many people there were, anyway, as far as the eye could see, it was all Yanyun banners, all over the mountains, everywhere......
Suddenly, I heard a sneering sound in the distance, and countless fireworks shot above the city, bursting into a day-like light, reflecting the entire city head in a clear and visible way.
Then there was a piercing creaking sound, dozens of stones the size of half a house flew head-on, and several large stones were in the middle of the city, smashing the city wall directly into several big gaps, and more than a dozen soldiers dodged, all of them were smashed into pulp!
More than a dozen other stones that fell into the city tumbled and tumbled, razing dozens of houses to the ground!
Jinsha City is a military city, there are no civilians at all, so Dugulou has no scruples when he launches an attack, anyway, there are some big stones brought, no need to give it to our province, all of them are launched!
The range of the catapult is hundreds of paces, Ivan's musket bow and crossbow can't reach people at all, and the range of the cannon is enough, but the artillerymen can't see the location of the other party's catapult at all, and after a cannon fire, it feels ineffective......
Instead, he was targeted by the opponent's artillery, and after a round of precise strikes, all the only twenty cannons in the city were blown up!
They didn't dare to send troops out, so they could only be beaten passively.
The soldiers at the head of the city are all curled up and crouched in the corner, constantly scratching crosses on their chests, God forbid, don't hit me!
It took half an hour for the catapults to finally stop wielding, and the head of Sands City was already devastated, with at least seven or eight large gaps in the walls of the city.
Ivan knew that the enemy army was about to attack the city, so he immediately sent people to block the gap, but he now only had a mere 2,000 men, and more than 300 were killed and wounded in a round of bombardment just now...... I had to order all the logistics personnel to take up arms and put them on top for me!
Sure enough, with a rumbling sound, dozens of elephants pulled twenty strangely shaped siege vehicles slowly approached.
Ivan immediately ordered someone to launch rockets and burned them all for me!
But to his surprise, it was useless to shoot rockets, because ordinary siege vehicles were made of wood, but Xiao Chen's siege vehicles were completely made of steel!
The armor is not cowhide, but a steel plate full of centimeters thick, not to mention bows and arrows, even muskets can't shoot through at all!
And the elephants pulling the carts are also covered with a thick layer of armor, and it is not easy to use any rocket muskets, even the moat......
Under the horrified gaze of Ivan and other Rus' soldiers, these elephants actually pulled a huge siege vehicle and went directly into the water!
Even if an elephant can swim, what the hell can a special siege vehicle float in the water?
Actually, there is nothing ghostly, but a few huge empty wooden boxes are installed underneath, do you want to know about modern amphibious combat vehicles?
After the siege wagons landed ashore, these large wooden boxes were immediately discarded, and a group of boat and bridge soldiers who followed closely behind them, carrying planks and hammers, worked quickly under the cover of the siege engines, gathered the wooden boxes together, nailed the planks to them, and built four or five simple pontoon bridges......
Just when Ivan and the others were dumbfounded, there was a sudden jar rain in the sky!
It's a real jar, it fell on the city and shattered, and the unpleasant and choking green smoke inside instantly filled the air!
As long as I smell it, I immediately feel severe pain and itching in my eyes, tears do not stop, my nose is sore, and I sneeze endlessly.
"It's not good, it's poisonous smoke, hurry up and get water and a towel to cover your nose!" Ivan's reaction was not unpleasant, but this measure was basically useless, you can cover your nose, you can't cover your eyes, right?
This smoke is very immoral, as long as it touches the eyes, it will not be opened!
Just when the city was in chaos, the siege vehicles were already on the city, and countless heavy infantry rushed up......
The city was full of flames, this is the work of dozens of winged brothers, they just took advantage of the chaos to use grappling hooks and ropes and other objects to quietly climb the city, and after sneaking into the city, they immediately set fire everywhere!
This battle could not be fought, Ivan only hesitated for a moment before making a decision, raising his hand and shouting, "Don't fight, hang the white flag, we surrender!" I repeat, give up resistance, drop your weapons and surrender to them! ”
This is a very remarkable decision, because the result of resistance will definitely be the total annihilation.
