Seeing that the rebels outside the city were so unbearable, not only the rebels defending the city, but even the counterinsurgency soldiers who attacked the rebels outside the city were stunned. //.// I'll take it, what is the situation, is it a deliberate show of weakness by the rebels?
The soldiers of the Pingping rebels thought like this in their heads, and as soon as they thought about it, the pace of the attack of the 3,000 Pingping rebels stopped, including some grassroots officers who were stunned in place and at a loss, Henry saw in the telescope that the army had stopped moving, and hurriedly ordered the herald to order the whole army to continue the attack, and be sure to bury the rebels outside the city completely here.
However, the rebels reacted faster than Henry, seeing the rebel soldiers outside the city collapse, and after a brief panic, the officers defending the city immediately ordered the rebel soldiers defending the city to send troops to cover the rebels outside the city and withdraw to the city.
From the heart, the rebel officer was reluctant to accept the rebel army composed of the sons of the gentlemen, but there was no choice, there were many heirs of the powerful families of Königsberg outside the city, if he did not save him, the officer defending the city believed that he would be torn to pieces, and his own family also had children outside the city, so when it came to himself, the officer made a decision that he regretted later.
After hearing the officer's order, hundreds of soldiers defending the city hurriedly lined up at the city gate and prepared to leave the city.
As the city gate was opened with a bang, the rebel soldiers hurriedly entered the improvised fortifications built outside the city, and when the city gate was opened, the soldiers of the counter-rebel army also received Henry's order, and the three thousand soldiers immediately charged in the direction of Königsberg with great courage.
The artillery in the rear also opened fire under Henry's orders, and the whole ground shook with the sound of cannon fire.
As soon as the cannon fired, the broken rebel soldiers ran faster, and their hopes were pinned on the soldiers who went out of the city to support, hoping that these soldiers would be able to resist the counterinsurgency.
These crumbling soldiers ignored the call of the officers as they passed the improvised fortifications outside the city, and did not turn their heads back, but ran desperately towards the city gates.
Seeing that the friendly soldiers who had come to meet him at the risk of his life ignored him and fled for his life, which made the rebel soldiers hiding behind the fortifications feel cold.
Henry was overjoyed to see this, and he ordered another 3,000 troops to be drawn from the camp, and Henry had a hunch that today would be the best time to conquer Königsberg.
The 3,000 rebel soldiers did not fight with the rebels at every improvised fortification as usual, but left a small number of men to contain the rebels in the fortifications, and the remaining large army continued to pursue the enemy who had collapsed.
The crumbling rebels turned to look at each other, and when they saw that the fortifications outside the city did not stop the enemy, they were instantly frightened, and they ran even more quickly, and finally they came to the foot of Königsberg.
Seeing the city gate, the collapsed rebels seemed to see heaven, and they squeezed towards the city, and the officers defending the city had to maintain order at the city gates, but his words were tantamount to farting to these rebels who were already as hot as frightened birds.
Seeing that the counter-insurgency army was already approaching the city gate, in case the city gate could not be closed by the time, and the counter-insurgents swarmed in, the officers guarding the gate did not dare to continue to think about the consequences.
He hurriedly shouted loudly to close the door, but in order to meet this group of young master soldiers, he sent out all the soldiers and horses in his hands, and now there is only one herald by his side, and he has no choice but to ask for help from the rebels who collapsed, but those young master soldiers don't bird him, don't look at them being beaten by the rebels like dogs, but in Königsberg, they are all small overlords.
The officer defending the city gritted his teeth, and he personally tried to close the city gate with the herald from the left and right, but because some rebels were running into the city gate one after another, his movement was greatly hindered, and even some rebels not only did not help him, but pushed the city gate open from the opposite direction.
The rebels in the improvised fortifications outside the city were stunned by the dramatic scene at the city gates, and what made them even more unacceptable was that the gates of Königsberg were about to be closed, and if it was night, wouldn't they, the people outside the city, be fat in the mouths of the enemy!
Thinking of this, the rebels inside the fortifications also left the fortifications, and they strode towards the city gate with their legs in stride, and everyone did not want to be abandoned outside the city.
But it is strange that the rebels in the fortifications fled the fortifications without being attacked by the counterinsurgency soldiers, and if you look down from the sky, you will find a very interesting scene, that is, two armies from different sides are standing on the same road towards the Königsberg gate.
Although they are enemies, no one fights each other, and this strange picture has to be said to be the most bizarre side of the battlefield.
Seeing that the counter-insurgents were about to approach, the shots rang out, and it was not anyone at the city gate who fired the shots, but Kleiman, who was standing not far from the city gate.
At this moment, Kleiman was leading his guards to rush to the city gate, but the situation at the city gate made him extremely anxious, so when he saw that only two people were struggling to close the city gate, and the others not only did not help, but even someone was obstructing, Kleiman was angry, he pulled out his musket and aimed at an obstructing rebel and opened fire.
As soon as the gunshots rang out, the many rebels at the city gate quacked, but then everyone calmed down again after seeing that it was Kleiman, the rebel leader, who had shot.
"Why don't you close the gates of the city for me, and then go and fire the cannons on the walls of the city at once, and stop the enemy from approaching."
Seeing that he had shocked everyone in one fell swoop, Kleiman hurriedly ordered his guards to start moving, and at the same time Kleiman shouted to the rebels gathered at the city gate: "Damn, you all roll to the wall, if the rebels rush in, I'll be the first to kill you" Under Kleiman's threat, all the rebels climbed the city wall in disgrace, but just then an accident happened.
As Kleiman's guards closed the gates, they clashed with the rebels outside the city who had not yet entered the city, and as the gates were getting closer and closer, several rebels outside the city raised their muskets and aimed them at Kleiman's guards, and opened fire at the moment when the gates were about to close.
Kleiman's guards probably didn't think that their own men would actually exchange fire on them, and they were all stunned as the gunfire rang out, but just as they were stunned, more rebel soldiers poured into the city, and the gates were squeezed open.
Seeing that he was about to fall short, Kleiman's eyes turned red, and he shouted loudly: "You are all dead, don't close the gate for me, anyone who tries to open the gate will shoot me" Under Kleiman's order, his guards also raised their weapons to shoot at their former comrades in the city gate cave, but where there was oppression, there was resistance, Kleiman's guards opened fire, and the rebels in the city gate cave naturally did not dare to fire lonely, and no one would be soft on those who tried to stifle their own hope of life.
These soldiers only knew how to rush into the city, they thought that the city would be their place of life, but the counterinsurgency behind them made them understand what it meant to be in a dead end.
The artillery fire at the head of Königsberg did not frighten the soldiers of the counterinsurgency, and looking at the chaotic Königsberg gates, everyone knew that the rebels were gone.
The officers of the counterinsurgency kept urging the army to speed up, ignoring the rebels on the road, and now the first goal was to storm the city of Königsberg.
Kleiman looked at the counter-insurgents who were getting closer and closer, his face turned pale, he didn't understand how the situation could suddenly turn out like this, but before he could think about it, the counter-rebels had already killed in the city gate, and they were engaged with Kleiman's guards.
Seeing this, Kleiman immediately ordered everyone to immediately rush to the city gate to block the footsteps of the rebels, Kleiman knew that the city gate was lost, and the death of the rebels was approaching.
Just as Kleiman led the rebels to fight fiercely with the counterins, on a hillside not far from them, the Russian army commander was also watching with a telescope.
When he saw that the counterinsurgency had advanced to Königsberg, the Russian commander was blue, and he knew he had to make a choice.
The Russian commander-in-chief is named Mikharilev, as the commander of the Russian army and at the same time Kutuzov's confidant, of course he knows what his master is thinking, and it is precisely because he knows that when Kleiman sent someone to contact him, he would ignore it.
But at the moment, Kleiman's situation was extremely bad, and he had to do something, and after having such a consciousness, Mikharilev immediately rode back to the Russian military camp and ordered the whole army to immediately prepare for battle.
It didn't take long for Mikharilev to get the news that the whole army was ready, and then Mikharilev ordered the whole army to immediately go to the battlefield, and the task of the Russian army was to attack the Königsberg rebels from behind.
But can Henry let the Russian army destroy the current good situation, of course it is impossible, after getting the news of the Russian army's advance, Henry immediately ordered Ferdinand to lead eight thousand Prussian troops to the front of the Russian army to intercept, if the Russian army continues to approach the battlefield, then fire.
After receiving Henry's order, Ferdinand, who had already sharpened his sword, was very excited, and he hurriedly led his army to set up defenses on the flank of the Prussian army attacking Königsberg to resist the Russian army, and at the same time Ferdinand sent a messenger to convey to the Russian army to stop approaching the battlefield immediately, otherwise the Prussian army would have the right to counterattack.
But Mikharilev turned a deaf ear to this information, and instead of ordering the Russian troops to stop advancing, he ordered more than three thousand Cossack cavalry in the army to immediately charge the Prussian army.
More than 10,000 horses' hooves knocked on the earth, the earth seemed to be uneasy, hearing the rumbling sound of horses' hooves, and then seeing that the Russian army had been dispatched, Kleiman, who was standing at the head of Königsberg, immediately ordered the rebels to increase their efforts to drive the rebels out, and their reinforcements came.
