Daming Military Empire

Chapter 553 The Defenders Surrender
Golovin wanted to sneak attack, but Sun Chuanting's defense is too tight. If he has enough troops, he can try it. The problem is that other bastions always have to be garrisoned. He only managed to get a total of 20 troops. Not yet, Sun Chuanting has many people under his command now.

He wanted to sneak attack the Ming army camp, where a hundred thousand troops were stationed at all times; he wanted to sneak attack the siege troops, and the cavalry and infantry in the siege troops who were not involved in the siege were always on standby. If you can't get it right, there is always the possibility of being dumped on both sides.

Therefore, like Andre, he had no choice but to wait until the Ming army was negligent before launching a surprise attack.

Will the Ming army be negligent?That is naturally impossible.

In fact, Sun Chuanting had long guessed that there was a Russian army nearby, and the scouts he sent out would meet Russian scouts from time to time. When the two sides met, it would be life and death. In the past few days, the Ming army's scouts had killed and injured hundreds of them. There are hundreds of scouts from Tsarist Russia. If it is a small army, it is impossible to send so many scouts. It is only possible that the army of Tsarist Russia is ambushing nearby to send so many scouts.

Even Sun Chuanting could analyze it based on the total strength of Tsarist Russia and the performance of scouts. The Tsarist Russian army ambushing nearby must not exceed 30. If they had enough troops, they would have taken action a long time ago. They would not be hiding like they are now. Hide, look for opportunities.

If this main force of Tsarist Russia were to confront it in the wild, Sun Chuanting still had the confidence to defeat them, let alone wipe them out.

Besides, this is not the Siberian Plateau, but the Siberian Plain. The entire plain is full of Tsarist Russian bastions. Even if they are defeated, they just need to escape to the bastion casually, and their 30 army can't do anything to them.

Sun Chuanting would not do this kind of thing that could not do his best, and he was suspected of disrespecting the order. He could only be on guard at all times to prevent the enemy from sneaking in. As for surrounding the spot for reinforcements and luring the enemy deep, that is not the case now. What should be done, his main task is to complete the Western Region Railway and the Siberia Railway within five months. If he delays the important event entrusted by the emperor and destroys the emperor's layout of the entire Siberia war because of his greed for success, he believes that even He won a big victory, and the emperor will not be happy.

Sun Chuanting and Golovin maintained a tacit understanding in this way. One did not take the initiative to attack, but was always on guard, and the other did not dare to attack casually, but just kept watching.

It was miserable for Andre. He didn't know that Golovin didn't dare to sneak attack. He always thought that Golovin was waiting for an opportunity. Therefore, even if the Ming army dug to the second floor of the bastion, he still didn't show a hint of despair. He always thought that as soon as Marshal Golovin made a move, the Ming army would be defeated and flee!
The offensive and defensive battle is still going on, the Ming army is digging and digging every day, and Andre is waiting every day, except that the two sides will exchange fire for a while when the Ming army passes through a gap every time they change shifts, at other times the two sides are not angry , as if conducting offensive and defensive drills.

Another three days later, there was a huge explosion, and more than a dozen gaps appeared in the second-floor wall of the bastion. At this time, Andrei was a little panicked. Why didn't Marshal Golovin launch a sneak attack?The third floor of the bastion simply cannot house 5000 people!More than half of the barracks of the defenders were on the second floor of the bastion, and half of the soldiers did not even have a place to stand if they did not guard the second floor.

He had to command [-] uninjured soldiers to guard the barracks on the second floor. The two sides finally launched a fierce exchange of fire on the second floor. However, after fighting for a while, the Ming army somehow retreated to the first floor, seemingly giving up the attack. .

Will the Ming army give up the attack?Of course it is impossible. Not long after the siege troops retreated to the first floor, the Ming army's artillery burst into a terrifying roar. This time it was no longer shot bullets, but solid bullets!
After a few days of transportation, the Ming army finally brought in hundreds of thousands of rounds of solid ammunition. This time, all the artillery aimed at the barracks on the second floor. The shells were like a storm. The masonry barracks quickly They were bombarded with holes, and the defenders on the second floor were shrunk into dead corners and huddled together.

Naturally, the barracks were not as strong as the city walls. In less than two hours, the barracks on the second floor were blasted into a pile of rubble. Immediately afterwards, the Ming army began to switch to shotguns to attack the third floor of the bastion. Andrei Secretly said "Oops".

Sure enough, as soon as the shotgun covered the third floor, the Ming army swarmed up to the second floor. The grenade was thrown like raindrops towards the densely populated area, followed by continuous gunshots. The commander on the second floor hadn't organized yet. With effective resistance, nearly [-] Ming troops rushed forward.

This is a battle without any suspense, because most of the defenders have been blasted by grenades and turned into hedgehogs rolling on the ground. It was a sieve, and the [-] remnant soldiers who suffered heavy casualties, against the [-] Ming army who were alive and well, the outcome can be imagined.

Andre seemed to have realized something. At this time, the reinforcements led by Marshal Golovin still hadn't moved at all. When would he have to wait? The cruel facts told him that either the reinforcements would not dare to go up at all, or there would be no reinforcements at all. Reinforcements!
After thinking about this point clearly, a look of despair finally appeared in his eyes. It turned out that he was a bait at all, and he was also a bait that was abandoned, because the one that bit the bait was a big shark, so how could the fisherman dare to catch it.

The battle didn't last long. In less than an hour, the Ming army completely occupied the second floor of the bastion. As for the defenders on the second floor, most of them were still rolling on the ground in pain. Those who could get up were basically stabbed. It was so cold that I didn't even have a chance to roll over.

After tidying up the defenders on the second floor, the Ming army calmly began to dig the third floor of the city wall. At this time, Andre had lost the courage to resist, because the third floor was basically wounded soldiers, even if they were not wounded So what about soldiers, two thousand versus 30, the ending doesn't have to be thought about at all.

From the very beginning, the only thing he was counting on was reinforcements. Now, since he knew that the reinforcements would not come, what was there to resist, he even made people prepare a white flag, and as soon as the three-story city wall was blown down, they would immediately surrender!

As for the issue of escaping, he never thought about it. Golovin was notoriously cruel. He would rather be a prisoner of the Ming army than go back and eat that pork hook.

Another three days, amidst a huge roar, more than a dozen gaps appeared in the wall of the third floor of the bastion, and soldiers of the Ming army swarmed up. Before the grenade was thrown, white flags were erected everywhere on the third floor. The Tsarist Russian defenders surrendered!
