Chapter 880: Adventure
Seeing this, the prince asked, "Seventh brother, what do you have to do?" ”
Shen Bingzhu chuckled, "On this trip, I saw that many soldiers were frostbitten, and the soldiers stationed in the local area also had severe frostbite, I brought some ointment, as long as I applied it to everyone, it would be fine in a few days."
In this way, the soldiers did not have to suffer from the pain and itching of chilblains. A soldier who is in good condition and concentrates can also improve combat effectiveness. ”
When the prince heard this, he nodded, "Didn't you say that Kikige only prepared a bottle for you?" Now there are more than 10,000 people in the camp, are you sure you have enough? ”
Shen Bingzhu replied: "For the soldiers, it is indeed not as good as Qiqige for me, but it is concentrated, as long as a few drops of a large bucket of hot water drops, everyone washes their hands, washes their faces, and washes their feet, and it has an effect." ”
"Okay, then you can go." Prince Yinren nodded, agreeing with Shen Bingzhu's words.
His hands and feet were originally a little painful and a little itchy, and he used the ointment given by Shen Bingzhu, but now he is better, it doesn't hurt or itch, and when the scab falls off, it's okay.
Shen Bingzhu took Baozhu and his entourage to do this together.
Almost all the soldiers suffered from chilblains in such a cold environment, and washing their ears, faces, hands and feet with these hot water mixed with medicinal liquid can relieve the pain and itching.
They are very grateful to the seventh elder brother, their hands don't hurt anymore, they don't have to tickle the hands holding the weapons, and when they sleep at night, they don't have to sleep well because of the pain and itchiness of the warming, they can sleep more peacefully.
Just such a trivial matter made the soldiers full of spirit and confidence in this battle.
The crown prince and Fucha could clearly feel the morale of the soldiers being high.
The local generals Hesheri and Lee, although they were high-ranking generals, they could not avoid chilblains.
Although the seventh elder brother has not yet made meritorious contributions, this hand alone can be regarded as meritorious service in their hearts.
In addition, Shen Bingzhu took advantage of the fact that there was no Russian cavalry attack in the past few days, and led the soldiers to bury the iron lumps one by one into the ground.
Three days later, the scouts hurried back, saying that there were nearly 5,000 Russian cavalry.
After receiving this information, the prince began to deploy a counterattack.
In the past three days, the cannons that have been brought over have been standing high above the city walls.
The prince stood on the city tower, holding a telescope, looking at the black cavalry, a little nervous.
This was the first time he had led his troops into battle, and he was still holding the city gates.
If he is not able to repel these invading soldiers of Tsarist Russia, it will be his defeat.
The fifth elder brother Yinqi was also very nervous, and he was also holding a telescope in his hand.
Shen Bingzhu's eyes burned, "Second brother, do you want to keep all the five thousand Tsarist Russian cavalry this time?" ”
The prince was puzzled and looked at the seventh elder brother, "Seventh brother, if you can catch all these Tsarist cavalry, you will naturally be happy!" ”
Now the gates they are besieging can only be passively defended.
Even if you can defeat these cavalry, it will be very difficult to keep all of them.
Shen Bingzhu smiled, "Second brother, can you wait for the Russian cavalry to reach the encirclement before ordering an artillery bombardment?" ”
The prince thought for a moment and pointed not far under the city gate, where Shen Bingzhu had buried some iron bumps, something similar to a bomb, in that area, "Is it because of what you buried before?" ”
Shen Bingzhu nodded, "That's called a mine!" When the cavalry passed, I had people pull the lead, and the mines would explode.
Because of the explosion in the rear of these cavalrymen, those horses, frightened after the loud noise, will only run forward, closer to the range of our cannons, and the effect of reshelling is better.
At the same time, although these people have muskets on them, because the horses under their crotch are frightened, it will affect the accuracy of their shooting, and the effect is even worse. ”
Hearing this, the prince nodded, "The cannonball made by the seventh brother is extremely powerful, since you say so, Lone will trust you!" ”
So the crown prince re-ordered, and General Li and General Hesheri felt that the prince's decision was reckless.
I am even more worried that the prince is so happy that he can't listen to the advice of others.
General Hesheri said in a deep voice: "Prince, this move is dangerous! If their horses come to our gates quickly enough, their muskets will be more accurate than ours! We will suffer! ”
The crown prince smiled and said, "General Hesheri, our musket technology has also been greatly improved, and it is no worse than that of Tsarist Russia. In particular, our artillery technology, thanks to the efforts of the seventh brother, has made great progress! Since the seventh brother is sure, then this matter should be feasible! ”
Since the crown prince has said so, it is difficult for General Hesheri to continue to persuade him.
But at the thought of the prince's comfort, General Hesheri said
"Prince, it's dangerous on the city tower, let's go down." General Hesheri said that Elder Soge had personally written to him to ensure the safety of the crown prince.
His life is not lost, but the prince must be safe and sound.
When the crown prince died, the entire Hesheri family was finished.
The prince hesitated, although he couldn't participate in the battle in person, but standing on the city tower and watching the battle below, it was equivalent to participating in the battle in person.
At this time, Shen Bingzhu said: "Second brother of the prince, the sword and gun have no eyes, and the other party has a musket, it is indeed not safe on the city gate. The younger brother accompanies you to the bunker and can see the situation below. ”
Fifth Elder Brother Yinqi also nodded, "Yes, Second Brother, we can see clearly with a telescope in our hands." ”
Prince Yinren nodded, "Okay, a few brothers go down together." ”
He can't hide alone, he has to take his brothers down with him, and his actions will be inconspicuous.
As soon as they arrived in the bunker below, the Russian cavalry had already passed the ambush area and entered the second ambush area, at this time, the red fuse was fired from the castle tower.
The man who was lying in ambush in the distance pulled the lead, only to hear a loud bang at the feet of these cavalrymen, which immediately exploded the dirt on the ground.
When the horse heard a loud noise, he was frightened and ran away, and the cavalry, which had just been overwhelmed, was in a disorderly formation for a while.
Prince Yinren looked at the Russian cavalry who were blown up, and immediately praised, "Good, good!" ”
At this moment, the musketeers at the city gate began to aim and shoot.
The new artillery also began to bombard the cavalry below, and all of a sudden, thick smoke flew into the sky. The neighing of the horses, the screams of the cavalry, one after another.
The crown prince was stunned, it was the first time he had seen such a fierce battle.
After a while, the prince looked at Shen Bingzhu, "Seventh brother, this is the hot weapon you are talking about?" ”
Shen Bingzhu nodded, "Yes, this is the case with future wars, and it may change in the future, but this is the development trend." ”
"Retreat!" The Russian soldiers felt careless, they used to be like this with a large army to press the border, and then they were able to defeat the Qing army, even if the worst result was a tie and benefits.
