Chapter 489 Waiting
Chapter 489: Waiting
When the expedition pioneer team's team began to shoot at the bottom of the city and the musketeers above the city, the battle was actually over.
Although many people don't even believe their eyes, when did the Mongolians in leather robes be so skilled in manipulating firearms, and they looked more experienced than the Russian soldiers who had always claimed to be civilized people on the castle, and the range of muskets and cannons was farther than theirs.
Several artillery guns at the top of the city were completely suppressed by the artillery soldiers of the expedition pioneers, and the attack at the top of the city was not at all. The dead soldiers of the Khanate were not idle there. After a little rest, they were driven over again. This time their mission was not so dangerous.
To move away the bricks and stones blocked the city gate, the firepower threat on it was completely suppressed by the expeditionary pioneers. These Khanate prisoners just needed to move the bricks and stones away and throw them into the trenches that had not been filled. Baron Roganov and the officers of the castle defenders did not expect that the other party would have an army that was no less than theirs, even though the other party was wearing Mongolian leather robes.
But they already suspected that this might be an attack from the Turks or Poles, although they could not explain why countries far west would attack this place in such a large circle.
The last trace of will to protect the home and fight to the death was exhausted. The soldiers on the city continued to scream, either being hit by muskets under the city, or being injured by bricks and stones blown up by shells. Baron Roganov ran down the city with a gloomy face.
Although the Russians are not afraid of death, they do not have the habit of fighting the enemy to death in a state of losing. The other party does not know what evil spirits they have committed, but they are just attacking the front of the castle. If the other party's conspiracy is not like, when the Khanate's dead soldiers attacked fiercely just now, if there is a current force going around behind to attack, it will definitely be very difficult to resist.
Now that I think about it, I feel a little regretful. If the soldiers who were guarding the other directions had just been transferred to the front, it might not have been so difficult to fight.
The Cossack family sorted out their own carts and horses, and the guards of Roganov also shouted loudly, preparing horses for the baron, and some people were there to increase the blockage of the city gates as much as possible, but the effect was very poor.
The dead soldiers of the Khanate desperately carried bricks and stones, and from time to time they would take a few steps back, and always pay attention to the cannons here would bombard the doorway.
Under such a dangerous situation, the Russians there could not raise the courage to block it. As the two sides grew and fell, the door opening was soon emptied. The Khanate soldiers were thinking in their hearts that they would finally end this flesh-consuming earthwork project.
Suddenly, more than a dozen Russian soldiers appeared in front of them, and the muskets in their hands were pounding and knocking down the Khanate coolies in the front. The Khanate dead soldiers had swords, guns and weapons on them, so they pulled them out and rushed over. Unexpectedly, their bravery had no substantial effect this time. After the first batch of attacks, the Russian soldiers in the second row came over again.
The rotation was actually fired five rows of muskets. At this time, the resistance at the top of the city was gradually weakening, but the sudden strong firepower in the doorhole forced the Khanate soldiers close to the city wall to a very far place, and no one could get close to it for a while.
The artillery officer who had always been concerned about the battle situation of the city gate hurriedly ordered the three artillery to continue suppressing, and the remaining artillery would turn around and bombard towards the city gate.
"These ghosts can't hold on anymore and want to run away!"
Liu Shisan shouted loudly at a guard beside him, obviously there were rules here, and Liu Shisan said this. The guard took out a flint and hit a few times, ignited a thick wooden pipe lead in front of him, and a loud bang.
A ball of light rushed into the air with a roar, and with a "pop", the golden fireworks bloomed in the air. This scene suddenly appeared in the boring and dark night sky of the battlefield. Everyone was stunned by the beautiful scenery there.
However, the soldiers of Fort Dimitri obviously did not feel that way. The Cossacks did not care about the crying of their wives and daughters, and equipped and inspected the carriages and horses in silence. The Russian soldiers also prepared various finishing tasks under the loud arrangement of the officers.
Baron Roganov's face was even more dismal. He thought that the attack on the Thibir Khanate was a risk-free action, and he would not be able to resist, and gain military merits and political capital for himself. He thought that the Dimitri Fort was a fortress that would not fall on this plain.
But God knows that such an army was not sure where to come out. Their firepower and combat power were much stronger than that of Russia. The barons now understand that the Thibir Khanate, which exhausted them during the day and consumed morale, was not as brave as the dead soldiers of the Thibir Khanate. They were all driven away by that mysterious army.
I must be unable to defend it anymore, so I can only run back to his uncle's territory and continue to live under someone else's roof.
The back door of the castle was immediately opened with the soldiers' push. Baron Roganov, who was riding on the horse, rushed out first, followed by their guards. Although the Cossacks who had no official identity were free people, they now followed with their families.
This place is not as lively as the front door of the castle, and there is not even any fire. The weather was slightly gloomy at this night, and even the stars could not be seen. Looking at the gloomy plains, Baron Roganov felt a little safe. While sneering at the siege army in front of him with no military experience, it was a small way to save his face. On the other hand, he ordered his subordinates to accelerate and leave here as soon as possible.
There are several large Cossack villages nearby. When I went there, I was informed and I could take a temporary rest. In the areas behind the castle, there were plains. Even if I rode a horse at night, I would not only care about the terrain. Baron Roganov knew that it would take less time for the other party to find that they had abandoned the city and ran away. He had to hurry up and urged the horses even more when he thought about it.
The Tsar guaranteed the power of the Cossacks as free people, but did not say that they would guarantee their safety. The Baron and the 200 remaining soldiers around him were all riding horses and running fast. The Russian infantry and the Cossack tribal families behind him were all cursing loudly there, but they could do nothing.
The horses slowly ran faster, and Baron Roganov felt safer. Suddenly, in the darkness of the night, he saw a short wall in front of him. He was so dark that he couldn't see clearly. When there was a short wall, the Baron's horse speed gradually slowed down.
However, at this time, the direction could not be changed. The soldiers behind them felt that it was wrong and took out their weapons. They were only a few dozen steps away from the low wall. They could see clearly in a vague way...
It seemed as if many fireflies suddenly appeared, and a row of swaying dark red light spots suddenly appeared in front of him. This scene was not unfamiliar to Baron Roganov. Almost at the same moment, a row of loud noises and countless firelights burst out.
The Baron was not the main target, but he rushed too far. Several lead balls hit his chest heavily, and directly overturned him from the horse.
The Russian soldiers following behind simply raised their sabers and rushed towards the opposite side in vain. The muskets in the second row rang out again, and the people shouted and neighed, and the soldiers fell down from the horses one after another. Some movements had time to turn, and they ran towards the darkness on the other side.
There were only a dozen people who could run out. The musket team blocked them had a total of 400 muskets. Three round shots killed nearly 150 and 60 people. Including the seizure of the expedition, there were only more than 1,200 muskets. One third was arranged behind the castle to wait for the rabbit, and two thirds were placed on the front attack.
The Cossacks all brought their wives and children to this land to immigrate according to their families. All their belongings were on horses and carts. At this time, the men were holding weapons on horses, while the women, children, young and old were on the carts, looking around in fear.
The guards of the Expedition Pioneer easily caught up with the Cossacks. They could not have run over the Light Cavalry. At this time, the Cossacks' carts had not even had time to circle around and watched the guards galloping arrogantly there.
No wonder these people were excited. According to the rules of the Expeditionary Pioneer, these Cossacks and Russians were afraid that these guards could get the property. Including the elderly, weak, sick and disabled people in the Bel Khanate in front of the castle, although they could not fight, grazing and farming were enough, so the Expeditionary Pioneer would naturally not let them go.
