"Commander, you''re really good!"
Said the artillery guard next to the second gun with reverence. Obviously, Chechen flew to the flowering bomb and defused it, making him a hero in everyone''s mind.
"It''s nothing?" Chechen wiped his face and said hehe hehe. The smoke had blackened his face.
But some people think Chechen is a hero, but some people are not. Pedro patted the back of Chechen''s head with a PU fan and scolded angrily: "smelly boy, if you were so late just now, this shell would blow you to pieces. What hero are you trying to be!"
Pedro said this, of course, because he cared about Cherchen, which Cherchen also knew. He smiled and comforted his uncle and said, "Deputy Colonel Pedro, the shell that can kill me has not been made yet?"
Pedro looked at Cherchen as if nothing had happened. He felt that Cherchen was becoming more and more disobedient now.
"Fatima, you will follow the commander and protect him. Remember, don''t let him do such dangerous things again." Pedro told Fatima.
Seeing that uncle Pedro wanted to send Fatima to protect himself, Chechen wanted to protest that TIMA was not an artillery and could not operate artillery, but at this time, another shell fell near Chechen and them. The mud splashed by the shell fell on Chechen and Pedro.
When Chechen looked at the enemy''s fort, the muzzle of several small caliber guns appeared at several crenels.
Obviously, the enemy artillery on the fort had begun to counterattack the three pound artillery with three pound artillery.
Chechen hurriedly asked the artillery to drag the three pound guns away. Those wooden shields are effective against large caliber muskets, but they can''t resist three pound artillery shells.
Fortunately, the retreat was timely. When the artillery and artillery of the mercenary regiment had just retreated to a safe area, the wooden shield in front of the original artillery position had been hit with countless fist sized holes and holes by shells and grape bullets.
Seeing that he almost confessed there, Pedro angrily scolded: "there is no heavy artillery, this is a ball!"
Che Chen nodded in agreement. Pedro''s words are not rough. It is really difficult to attack such a well defended fortress without heavy artillery.
Pedro and Cherchen could think of the same answer. Of course, Alexander otkinski thought of it. After several shelling, except for the east gate where the 24 pound gun and mortar were located, the shelling in other places failed to produce effective damage to Lida fort.
It seems that we can only ask the prince for help, Alexander otkinski thought helplessly. He knew that the prince had ordered more than ten 24 pound guns and 48 pound cannons with larger caliber in the German Arsenal.
"Commander, you see!" when ojinsky thought so, his adjutant pointed to the direction of the city gate and said to ojinsky.
Okinsky fixed his eyes. It turned out that one of the chains that originally hung the suspension bridge of the city gate was broken by shells in the shelling just now. Now the whole suspension bridge is maintained by a residual iron chain.
"God bless you! What are you waiting for? Go and send a German mercenary regiment." oginsky crossed his chest piously. When he saw his adjutant still standing there, he shouted angrily.
Ojinsky ordered all the guns in the artillery position to aim at the suspension bridge and shoot at the suspension bridge. As long as the iron chain can be broken, the army can take this opportunity to rush into the city.
But the next shelling was not so lucky. Two rounds of shelling came down, and the shells hit around the iron chain and the suspension bridge.
"Waste, waste!"
Seeing how incompetent the artillery was, otkinski angrily threw his hat on the ground. He went straight to a three pound gun and adjusted the pitch angle of the barrel.
"God bless," oginsky prayed again before firing.
The lucky shell hit the chain like a divine aid. The suspension bridge let out a wail and finally fell down.
With a proud laugh, oginsky ordered the artillery to shoot all the shells at the city gate. Behind the artillery, a 500 member German mercenary regiment and an equal number of Polish infantry had lined up in the trench, led by Tilly, the German who had opposed yanush.
Several rounds of flowering shells accurately hit the city gate. With several roars, Lida fort''s original solid city gate was blown to pieces.
"Tilly, it''s up to you now."
Seeing that the city gate of Lida fort was blown open so unexpectedly and easily, ojinsky made an attack gesture to Tilly.
"Attack!"
Tilly was fully armed. He put down the visor of his helmet, pulled out the sword around his waist and waved it forward.
German mercenaries and polish infantry in three trenches jumped out of the trench, and they walked towards the city gate with neat steps.
Bullets were constantly fired on the walls of Lida fort, and unfortunate German mercenaries fell from time to time, but these warriors continued to move forward without fear.
After the infantry jumped into the trench, the Musketeers jumped into the trench and made up their position. These Musketeers use Spanish heavy muskets. These musketeers are very heavy. Musketeers have to put up supports to shoot.
With the guns and artillery firing under the city, the Musketeers on the city wall were suppressed.
The infantry led by Tilly quickened their pace, and the front infantry had reached the entrance of the city gate.
Several tall infantry took off their grenades, lit fuses and threw them in. They were grenadiers in the mercenary regiment.
Black smoke billowed up in the city gate, which made it impossible for both sides to see the opposite situation clearly.
A group of musketeers lined up at the gate of the city, one half squatting and the other straight, aiming their guns at the city.
But before they could shoot, a dense rain of arrows burst out from the black smoke. The Musketeers fell to the ground groaning in pain in the middle of their bodies.
Tilly carried his sword back behind his back. He pulled up two Musketeers who were hit by arrows and went under the wall next to the city gate.
After arranging the wounded soldiers, Tilly pulled out the musket at his waist and fired a shot at the city gate.
After the gunshot, a metal impact came out of the city gate.
Even if a bullet hits the breastplate, it won''t send such a thing. Tilly was surprised. One of his aides said to Tilly, "Sir, there is a city gate!"
It turned out that Jan sobeski had long thought that the city gate would be destroyed. He built a second pure iron fence behind the first city gate. That''s how the bullet hit.
Most of the smoke in the city gate cave dissipated. The infantry who rushed into the city gate cave found that their weapons could not damage the iron fence at all, especially when behind the iron fence, the musketeers and archers in Lida Fort kept shooting outward from the gap between the fences.
Some brave mercenaries shot in vain with muskets, but they were soon knocked down. The bodies of the war dead piled up at the entrance of the city gate and soon looked like a hill.
To push the artillery to the city gate is like a dream when the fort Lida defense system has not been destroyed.
Seeing no hope, Tilly gave the order to retreat. The Polish infantry had begun to run back long before he gave the order.
In the artillery position, okinsky, who witnessed all this, smashed the breast wall in front of him with his scepter.
