Hailanpao was originally the territory of the Dahaner tribe, and after the Tsarist Russia occupied it, they built a fortress.The fortress was built next to the Heilongjiang River, equipped with artillery, and in front of the Jurchens, it was almost an impenetrable fortress.Compared with the two strongholds of Saxa and Nibuchu in the upper reaches of the Heilongjiang River, Hailan Pao is further south, so the climate is more suitable for survival and the products are more abundant.The commander of the Far East of Tsarist Russia attaches great importance to the stronghold of Hailan Pao, and wants to rely on Hailan Pao to continue to invade the south and occupy the rich Northeast Great Plain.At the beginning of March, just as Zhao Ming was preparing to conquer Tsarist Russia, Bakharov, the commander of the Tsarist Far East, learned from the Jianzhou Jurchens that the Ming army was going to attack Hailanpao.Rambu's original intention was to form an alliance with Tsarist Russia, but Bakharov looked down on Rambu, and after receiving the news, not only did he not thank Rambu, but instead detained the messengers sent by Rambu and asked them to build a castle with the enslaved Jurchens.Now that Tsarist Russia was thriving and expanding in the Far East in recent years, the Mongols and Jurchens were vulnerable to the Russian musketeers and Cossack cavalry.This made Tsarist Russia completely disdainful of Rambu, and Tsarist Russia did not need the help of savages.Tsarist Russia wants to monopolize the northeast, and there is no need to ally with anyone, whether it is Mongolia, Jurchen, or the Ming Dynasty, they are all the objects of Tsarist Russia's conquest.At the beginning of April, Zhao Ming gathered 30,000 allied troops in Songyuan City, and began to march, and the army went all the way along the Songhua River, bypassing the Xiaoxing'an Mountains, and then against the Heilongjiang River, marching towards Hailanpao.The Northeast is sparsely populated, the primeval forests are all over, there is no official road to walk, small groups of men and horses, can drill into the mountains and forests, climb over the mountains, large groups of soldiers and horses can only march along the river, otherwise ordnance, artillery and food can not be transported at all.Zhao Ming learned from Sasubu that after learning about the situation of the Russian castle, he ordered Sasubu to be his guide, leading the front army first, and the army galloped all the way to the south of Hailan Pao.When the Ming army forwards peeked at the Hailan Pao city defense, their hearts immediately sank, although the castle was not big, but the city wall stretched out told the Ming army soldiers that this was a Western-style fortress.The walls of such a fortress are concave polygons, so that the enemy will be exposed under two or three walls at any point of the attack on the castle, and the defenders can use crossfire to deliver multiple strikes.The fortress, with muskets and cannons, could no longer be breached by manpower, unless he was willing to count casualties.In history, Zheng Chenggong's tens of thousands of troops attacked Geranza, which was guarded by more than 1,000 Dutch, and could only besiege it for eight months, waiting for the Dutch to surrender.The generals of the Ming army took a quick glance and knew why the Jurchens had no way to take Tsarist Russia, without huge cannons and flowering shells, without criss-crossing trenches, it was difficult to take down the fortress.At this time, the generals of the Ming army still had to take a closer look, but a cavalry rushed from the castle, although the number of troops was not much, only more than 100 horsemen swarmed in, they wore leather hats, brandished snowy Cossack Chashik scimitars, and screamed and screamed terrifyingly."
Let's go!"
The generals of the Ming army went deep alone, did not dare to stay for a long time, and immediately pulled out their horses and flew back to report to Zhao Ming.On the fortress, Bakharov and a few Russians, seeing the withdrawn Ming army, couldn't help laughing, "The empire will rule China like Tatar!"
”The striker reported to Zhao Ming, seeing the situation of Hailan Bubble, Dahaner and the leader of the Sauron tribe who ran into a wall in Hailan Bubble were depressed, saying that the castle could not be captured at all, and suggested that Zhao Ming lure the Rakshasa people out to fight.Zhao Ming smiled slightly, reassuring them that it was normal for the Jurchens to not be able to fight, but it was difficult for the Ming Dynasty to be able to defeat the fortress.After all, Zhao Ming was in the south and had already pulled out a few bastions.At that moment, Zhao Ming ordered the army to speed up the march, drive the army forward, and march to Hailanpao.On April 20, the big eyes of the sky, the northeast, gradually warmed up.On the Hailan bubble, the Russian soldiers, carrying gunpowder and shells, were preparing for the defense of the fortress.A few days ago, the Ming army forward appeared, which made Bakharov realize that the main force of the Ming army might come over.Although he looked down on the Jurchens and Mingren, he still had to be prepared for defense.At this time, on the fortress, the Russian soldiers moved the powder kegs, as well as the solid shells, to the side of the artillery, and inspected the artillery to ensure that the equipment was in good condition.When he was busy with his feet facing the sky, faintly outside the city, bursts of muffled thunder rolled out, and the Russian soldiers at the head of the city stood up straight one after another, and came to look at the battlements, and suddenly their eyes widened and they were surprised.At this time, 30,000 allied troops rolled in, several cavalry galloped in front, horses' hooves trampled the earth, muffled again and again, and the back waved flags, and the endless infantry and ships came along the river bank in a mighty way.Alarm bells rang at the top of the city, and the Russian soldiers took muskets and staggered up to the top of the city."
How many enemies are there?"
Bakharov came to the city, frowning slightly."
Your Excellency, it's not clear at the moment, and I can't make an estimate, but it should be at least twenty or thirty thousand."
The officer looked out of the city in some surprise.The Tsarist Russian Empire fought in the south and in the north, and there have been many wars in the past hundred years, but it is still rare in the face of tens of thousands of enemy troops.There were tens of thousands of people, which were basically important national battles, and Hailan Pao was just one of the many fortresses of Tsarist Russia in the Far East, and it ushered in the siege of tens of thousands of enemy troops.Tsarist Russia did not have 10,000 soldiers in the entire Far East, and there were only 1,000 soldiers in Hailan Pao, but after the consternation, Bakharov became a little excited."
The Tatars thought that with more people, they would be able to take the fortress of the Empire.It's ridiculous!
”Bakharov looked at the troops coming from afar and sneered, "It is impossible for the fortress to be broken by a bow and arrow!"
”At this time, the cavalry of the Mongols and Jurchens stopped outside the range of the artillery on the fortress, and after a while, Zhao Ming also followed Daxu and stationed in the south of the Malenaka.The allied cavalry monitored the fortress to prevent Russian soldiers from raiding the city, while the Ming infantry cut down trees and set up camp outside the city.When Zhao Ming was encamped in the army, he rode away from the army and ran up a hill, and then reined in his horse to observe the fortress of Tsarist Russia a few miles away.Compared with the Dutch and Spanish fortresses, the fortress still has some differences, and the appearance is relatively rough."
Regent, last year the minions besieged the city together with the Dahaner Ministry, but the city was not boarded, the Dahaner head was killed, and the minions also suffered heavy losses."
The leaders of the Sauron clan are still depressed, afraid that the Ming army will not be able to capture the city, and they are also afraid that Zhao Ming will use them as cannon fodder.Zheng Chenggong and Kangxi met this kind of western fortress, and it is said that Kangxi was still facing a wooden city, and they could only rely on the siege to force the defenders in the city to surrender.Zhao Ming looked at the fortress, but his face was full of confidence, the widow was eloquent and strategic, better than Kang Mazi, and the fortress was merely a fortress, how could he stump the widow."
Within half a month, the widow will break this city!"
Zhao Ming was confident, whipped and laughed, and was arrogant.
