Looking at the excited crowd, Zhao Ming ordered that they be allowed to participate in digging.

As a result, the siege of the moat, which was originally one day before it could be completed, was completed that night.

Early in the morning of the fourteenth day.

The Jurchen tribes, as well as Mongols such as Chahan, went out to camp early to gather after breakfast.

Last night, the Jurchens who helped dig the trench built a high platform outside the camp at Zhao Ming's request.

At this time, the high platform was filled with flags and big chairs. Zhao Ming sat upright in armor and helmet, and asked someone to invite Jurchen heads and Mongolians to sit on the stage to watch the battle that was about to begin.

The six thousand elite Ming troops in front of the Taiwan Strait have completed the assembly and are about to launch an attack after just one order.

Zhao Ming still did not intend to let the Jurchens and the Mongols participate in the siege, to avoid them from forming an illusion that they defeated the Russians, and later challenged the Ming Dynasty.

This Hailanpao is the stage of the Ming army. Today, there can only be one of the protagonists of the siege, that is, the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty.

On the top of the city, the Russian commander had already felt that the Chinese outside the city had strong military strength and elite strength, which were no less than Sweden, the rival of the Tsarist Russian Empire in Western Europe.

However, even if it is the Swedish army, it is not easy to conquer a solid bastion.

"Everyone is cheering up! The Chinese are going to attack the city!" Baharov inspected the city and directed the Tsarist Russian soldiers to set up defenses.

At this time, on the high platform where colorful flags were flying, Zhao Ming looked at the bayonet in front of the platform, and then waved. General Chen Youlong immediately came over and bowed down to listen.

Zhao Ming smiled and whispered in a low voice: "Fight well, don't let me get out of Taiwan!"

Although the 6,000 elite Ming army had a great chance of winning by attacking the castle garrisoned by 1,000 Tsarist Russian soldiers, Zhao Ming had always shown confidence, but if he could conquer it in one day, Zhao Ming actually didn't have much confidence in his heart, and he did have the gambling element.

"Don't worry, Regent! I will not disappoint the Regent!" Chen Youlong whispered.

When Zhao Ming heard his statement, he smiled and waved, "Start the attack!"

After the military order, the Ming army units began this performance. The first one to appear was naturally the artillery with the farthest range.

Ten red-clothed cannons lined up under the city and bombarded the city walls, smashing the castle walls.

While the cannons were bombarded, the Ming army killers carried the city ladder, entered the trench one by one, and then advanced towards the city wall along the "Zhi" trench.

At this time, the Tsarist Russian artillery on the top of the city began to bombard the Ming army that was approaching the city wall, but the shells fell on the ground, and no shells smashed into the trench. They could only watch the Ming army along the trench and reach the horizontal trench at the foot of the city wall.

When the Russian commander Baharov saw this, he frowned. He did not expect that China was so smart that he would come up with a way to attack the city, which almost lost its effect on the Tsarist Russian artillery on the city.

At this time, he personally operated a bronze cannon aimed at it, but the Ming army squatted in the trench and the shells could not hit the Chinese.

On the high platform, the Jurchen leader and the Mongolian chief were shocked as they watched the Ming army reach the city, and there was no casualties.

At this time, the second wave of Ming army had already pushed the short-barrel general's cannon and the improved Tiger Zun cannon into the trench, and a large number of muskets immediately entered the trench.

On the bastion, when Tsarist Russian soldiers saw that the shelling could not hurt the Ming army, they simply gave up the shelling, held muskets one by one, squeezed against the wall, and extended shot holes at the muzzle, waiting for the Ming army to attack the city.

If the Ming army wanted to attack the city, it would be impossible for them to hide in the trench and not come out. As long as they rushed out of the trench, they would be exposed to the muzzle of several city walls, and the city would be their target.

The Russian army waited for a long time, but the Ming army hid in the trenches near the city, but never moved.

"Sir, look, it's a mortar cannon!" A Russian officer pointed to the general cannon pulled by mules and horses in the trench and said in panic.

The general's cannon is a short-barrel mortar, and the cannon also exists in the west.

The shells fired by this kind of artillery are parabolas that can directly shoot at the head of the city and hit enemies behind obstacles, so they are often used to attack cities.

However, this kind of cannon has a disadvantage, which is that its range is too short, so although it can shoot at the head of the city, it is difficult for the siege side to push the cannon under the city wall to bombard the castle. It is easy to be picked up and killed by the cannons on the castle.

Now the Ming army transported artillery to the city through the trenches, and there was no danger of being knocked out by artillery in the city in advance.

"Cunning Chinese!" Baharov cursed, but although the mortar can shoot at the head of the city, the threat is actually not great.

At this time, the Ming army artillery team transported the general artillery to the city along the trench and completed the installation in the trench.

With a dull "boom", a ball of white smoke rose from the trench, and a shell rose into the air.

At first, the shell was just a black dot, and in the blink of an eye, it drew an arc in the air and smashed towards the top of the city.

With a loud "bang", the iron bomb smashed a depression on the top of the city, and then bounced up again and fell into the city, making it hard to find a trace.

Baharov smiled relaxedly on the top of the city, thinking that the mysterious East had some amazing means, which scared him. It was just that.

Seeing this, the rude and irritable Tsarist Russian soldiers on the city were already a little annoyed.

The Chinese dig trenches and cannons for so long, but they just dare not attack the city.

Hurry up! The Russian army's muskets are already hungry and thirsty.

At this moment, after the Ming army mortar cannon was tested and debugged, all ten mortar cannons were loaded with flowering bullets.

"Boom boom boom" followed a few dull sounds in the year, and smoke filled the trenches. Ten shells were seen cutting through the sky, getting bigger and bigger, and directly hitting the city.

Baharov didn't care. As long as this kind of shell did not hit someone, it would just be a fool.

As the sky darkened, shells roared and fell. Before the Tsarist Russian soldiers could react, they heard a loud "boom". White light burst out from the top of the city, and strong wind blew, throwing the Tsarist Russian soldiers on the city directly, screaming and falling to the top of the city.

For a moment, the city exploded repeatedly, and smoke and dust filled the streets. In the distance, the Jurchen heads stood up one after another. They only saw the Rakshasa people on the city, like dumplings, falling from the city, shocked and speechless.

At this time, when the city exploded, the Ming general stood up in the trench below the city, drew his sword and pointed angrily, "Soldiers, kill me!"

"Kill!" The sound of killing sounds sounded from the mountains and thunders, and the killers who were climbing the city jumped up, carrying ladders and rushing out of the trench.

Baharov was scratched by shrapnel and bleeding from his head. He was shocked and could not recover for a while.

The Russian soldiers of Tsarist Russia were also stunned by the bombing. The city was covered with mess, and there were wounded soldiers rolling and wailing everywhere.

At this time, the Ming army rushed to the city, set up a trench bridge, and raised the stairs to climb the city. Only then did the Ming army soldiers climb along the ladders and climbed to the top of the city one by one.

Watching Ming Jun climbing up to the city, the Jurchen heads' eyes almost fell off in shock, and at the same time, they felt a little scared and glad.

At this time, the battle had just begun. Prince Chahan of Korqin suddenly knelt on the ground and kowtowed repeatedly, "The soldiers of the Great Ming Dynasty are invincible, the regent is wise and powerful, and the servants are willing to lead the Korqin clan to follow."

A group of Jurchen leaders were so scared that they knelt on the ground, bowing their heads, and not daring to look up to express their surrender.

Seeing this, Zhao Ming laughed loudly, and said domineeringly, "Get up, the city has not yet been defeated."
Chapter completed!
