Nanming: I can build wonders

Chapter 350 Maozi is ready to surrender (please subscribe!)
Kangxi's order was passed on, the artillery fired first, and then the infantry of the Great Qing Army started marching in neat steps.

Not to mention, this Great Qing army has a good appearance, and it is definitely N times stronger than the Qing army in Daoguang and Xianfeng years.

If this Qing army is allowed to fight the Opium War, it may be possible to defeat the arrogant British by relying on numbers.

The shelling of the Qing army shocked the Luocha people. They did not expect that the Qing army on the opposite side had so many cannons. According to the sound, there were hundreds of them, while the Luocha people only had less than [-] artillery pieces.

Seeing that his subordinates were unstable, Bashkov, the commander of the Russian army standing at the head of the city, sighed and said, "I didn't expect the Tatars to have so many cannons. Give Beketov the order to attack!"

Bashkov is a commander with rich combat experience. He knows that it is too early to send the Cossack cavalry, but he can't help it. If the Qing army persists for a while, his front line will collapse. Send an ambush.

The Cossacks who were ambushing in the woods received the order, mounted their horses and rushed out of the woods, heading towards the Qing army's battle line two miles away.

The Qing army had also been prepared for a long time. General Lang Tanhui of Heilongjiang personally led [-] Manchu Eight Banners Bayala and [-] Oroqen cavalry to lead the charge, fighting with the Cossacks.

Kangxi looked at the Oroqen cavalry. Today, these Oroqen people showed their strength. Probably his death order before had an effect. Don't worry about the flanks. Kangxi began to focus on the frontal battlefield.

The Qing army and the Russian army are basically armies of two eras. Most of the Russian army is still in the cold weapon era, and the training and equipment of the soldiers are not good, but the Qing army has basically reached the level of half a modern army. This battle Naturally there is nothing to see.

As soon as the two armies came into contact with the Russian army, a large number of them were shot to death, but the Russian army's matchlock guns did not kill a few Qing troops at all due to accuracy problems.

After the defeat, the Russian army immediately opened the city gate and retreated into the city, preparing to rely on the strong city wall to fight against the Qing army.

The Russian army hid in the city and could not come out, which made Kangxi helpless.

Because Kangxi was not familiar with European armies, he didn't know much about this kind of European castles.

Kangxi thought that Nerchinsk and Yaksa were made of brick and wood, so he didn't bring any heavy artillery. Now Kangxi has a lot of artillery, more than 100, but they are all light artillery.

This kind of artillery is naturally no problem against wooden houses like Yaksa, but it can't do anything against castles built of stone.

Kangxi's artillery bombarded Nerchinsk for a long time. Except for knocking down some crenels, the city wall was not damaged at all.

On the contrary, because the artillery range and power of the Qing Dynasty were not as good as the heavy artillery defending the city in Russia, they suffered a small loss, and five artillery pieces were destroyed by the Raksha people.

Kangxi saw that Nerchinsk was in front of him but couldn't get in, so he couldn't help being very angry, and asked Sanchez: "Old Sang, you are European, what can you do?"

Sanchez has nothing to do. Apart from using heavy artillery, the only way to deal with this European bastion is to siege and starve everyone in the city to death.

"Your Excellency, if there is no heavy artillery, there is only siege!" Kangxi looked at the size of Nerchinsk City, and the most convenient thing was the cannon on the battleship to blow down the city wall.

But Nerchinsk is located inland, and the navy's warships really can't get in, so they have no choice but to besiege.

Immediately after Kangxi made his decision, he sent an imperial decree to Shengjing, asking them to send some heavy artillery over quickly. If they were delayed, they would be punished.

It was already mid-August when Kangxi attacked Nerchinsk. If the delay continues, the weather will start to get colder in September and October.

Nerchinsk is far away in the Great Khingan Mountains in the far north. If it comes in September, it will start to snow at night, which is not conducive to the siege at all.

Kangxi organized his subordinates to build the city, and at the same time ordered the surrounding ethnic minority tribes to help besiege the city, while waiting for Shengjing's support.

Shengjing General Chani only received Kangxi's [-]-mile urgent request in September, and he dared not delay for a moment!
Chani's identity is not simple. He is the grandson of Qing Taizu Nurhachi, the fourth son of Prince Yutong Duoduo, and his mother is the Tong Jia family of Fujin.

With such a prominent status, he did not dare to slack off in the face of Kangxi's orders.

"Your Majesty really doesn't make people worry about it. If you want to beat the Raksha people well, no matter how ambitious they are, they can't take down the cities of the Qing Dynasty. The enemy in their hearts is hypocrisy!" Chani muttered to himself.

His lifespan is short, and it is unclear how many years Daqing has left at this time!
Chani looked at the bleak scene outside the window. It was snowing in September in the northeast, not to mention Nerchinsk in the north. He hoped that when the heavy artillery arrived, Emperor Kangxi's army would suffer fewer casualties.

In this way, Kangxi took more than 1 people to spend the winter outside the city of Nerchinsk. Although Kangxi had sufficient supplies and the help of the surrounding Northeast natives, most of Kangxi’s soldiers were from Zhili, and they had a certain ability to adapt to the harsh climate in the Northeast. , but there was still a case of frostbite attrition, and more than 50 people died of freezing alone.

It was not easy for Kangxi to survive the long winter in the Northeast. In April, when the spring was warm and the flowers were blooming, according to statistics, the Qing Dynasty lost more than 300 soldiers this winter, which was greater than the loss in battle.

Fortunately, winter has passed, the waterways of Heilongjiang have been unblocked, and the first batch of supplies and reinforcements from Jilin have also arrived. Besides these, General Shengjing spent a lot of effort to transport five generals from Weiyuan gun.

General Weiyuan Cannon, according to history, only appeared in 1690.

Today, because Kangxi attached great importance to artillery, this famous artillery was developed in advance.

General Weiyuan Cannon is a front-mounted mortar with a large caliber and short barrel. It is made of copper, weighs 300 kilograms, is 690 millimeters long, and has a diameter of 212 millimeters. The wooden cannon cart is loaded with wheels and fires explosive bombs.

When the heavy artillery arrived, Kangxi was gearing up for a fight, and this time he must take Nerchinsk down.

In May 1686, the ground around Nerchinsk had hardened, making it easier for heavy artillery to operate. At the same time, Kangxi's fort outside Nerchinsk had also been built, so Kangxi decided to launch an attack on May [-].

Known as the 520 offensive!

The arrival of the reinforcements from the Qing army made Nerchinsk a cloud of gloom. Although the power of that kind of cannon that I had never seen before was unknown, it was not a good thing at first glance.

At the same time, the reinforcements requested by the Russian commander-in-chief Bashkov did not come at all. What was sent was only a letter from the governor of Yakutsk, Franzbekov. Moscow was fighting the Ottomans, and all the troops had been transferred back to the country. , Apart from the basic guards here in Yakutsk, there will not be a single reinforcement!

Governor Frantzbekov said very clearly in the letter that there are no reinforcements, and if they cannot hold it, they can surrender.

Bashkov smiled wryly after receiving the letter. Now there are only less than 1000 troops in the city, and the Qing army on the opposite side has 1 people, plus the reinforcements that just arrived, and the powerful cannons, so After much deliberation, Bashkov decided to surrender.
