988 [One will succeed and ten thousand bones will die](2/2)
Olek led his troops to land from the north of the city, and Hamu Wall shouted: "The coast to the west of the city is the cultivated land of the weak Cossacks!"
"It's him who reminds me!" Yu Youxue has a good Qi Dao.
A dozen Cossacks are supervising the farming of hundreds of slaves. The snow has melted for a while, and the surface of the frozen soil has also melted. It is a critical period for planting potatoes and other crops. Some Cossacks, as well as the indigenous servants, are working in the distance.
Off-river fishing.
Seeing the Chinese army coming to kill them, the Cossacks outside the farmland ran away wildly, while the indigenous slaves froze in place, knowing what to do.
As for those under the river, they have already rowed away.
Yu Youxue basically controlled the enemy in the west of the city, and led his soldiers to attack the city with their ladders.
The rammed earth castle is very short, and given the conditions in Siberia, it is possible to build it lower. If it is possible to attack by surprise, it can be defeated in one fell swoop. Otherwise, we can only quickly siege the city, and then retreat in despair when winter comes. i6
"Bang bang bang bang!"
As soon as we got close to the fort, there was no sound of gunfire, and two young fellow soldiers fell down.
Fortunately, the enemy was not prepared. Some went out to plunder, and some went out to farm and fish. There were not many who stayed outside the castle. Moreover, despite the panic, the castle defenders were still fully in place.
It was a very short-lived opportunity, and before it was missed, the expedition would definitely return with success.
Rushing from the river bank to the bastion, there were no wooden fences or trenches in the middle. From the bastion in the south, the sound of artillery was also heard. One of the cannonballs killed and injured two young fellow soldiers and seven indigenous auxiliary soldiers.
The wooden fence is two-layered, and the middle is filled with soil, so it will collapse if hit. 1
Olek led someone to build a ladder and climb over, then stood under the wooden shed railing and took the ladder in front to cross the trench. By the time we rushed to the top of the bastion, the small army and the indigenous auxiliary troops had suffered heavy casualties.
Olek was completely furious. I only have a few dozen soldiers in total, and I still need a supply team to collect a hundred. Every time a soldier dies, my heart bleeds. 5 "Whoosh!"
It was the Cossacks' native servants who were shooting arrows. One arrow hit Olek's chest and was blocked by the cotton armor.
The Cossack outside the castle, only two meters away from Olek, was loading ammunition in a panic. Because his hands were shaking so much, he pushed back the barrel of the gun several times. Seeing that Olek hadn't climbed down yet, he hurriedly swung his knife.
Cut upwards.
Olek held down the ladder with one hand and slashed with the other hand to fend off the enemy's weapons, and then suddenly threw himself down. The bastion outside was very luxurious, and it had a roof, which was much different from a special city wall.
.
"boom!"
On the other side of the fortress, there was a certain socialist who actually threw down a ten thousand enemy.5
Yu Youxue, who had just climbed down from the bastion and was about to fight in a bloody battle, heard a loud noise. All the enemies at the explosion site fell, leaving only a few people standing on Olek's side. There were fewer and fewer soldiers.
The fellow troops and indigenous auxiliary troops descended from the fortress, and the ensuing battle was almost entirely a battle of hot weapons.
Pre-war statistics showed that among one hundred small soldiers, 24 were killed, 26 were seriously injured, and 7 were seriously injured. Two hundred indigenous auxiliary soldiers, 35 were killed, 19 were seriously injured, and 13 were seriously injured. 4 The casualty rate was extremely low.
And our enemies are pitifully numerous.
Counting the gunners, there were only 45 Cossacks outside the castle, less than half of whom had no muskets, and there were only 18 real Cossack musketeers. There were 52 indigenous servants, all of whom used earthen bows.
The remaining Cossacks and indigenous servants simply did not return to the city.
Olek was so angry that his lungs exploded. Only 18 Cossack musketeers and a few artillery pieces actually caused more than half of his casualties. He had made a surprise attack! 2
That kind of bastion is really disgusting!
Yes, it must be said that the Sakha native soldiers who followed Olek in the war behaved extremely cowardly today. We either came from the Olek rule, or we came from the tribe with the best relationship, and we had no deep grudges with the Cossacks, so we started the war.
They are all brave because they are afraid of death.
Looking at the corpses of the generals under his command, Olek did not feel the joy of defeat. In the first battle of his life that I personally commanded, the casualty rate exceeded 50.3. As for the Sakha indigenous soldiers who died in the battle, Olek decided to reward their families generously.
"General Manager, are you still pursuing me?" the adjutant asked.
Olek shook his head: "It is necessary. Warships guard the mouth of the river, prohibiting any ships from coming and going, and block all the Cossacks in the east. I will starve to death if I am hungry!"
As for the Cossacks in the city, they all fled to the west the moment the little army captured the bastion. There is no Cossack stronghold for hundreds of miles to the west. It would be difficult to pursue them now.
