After the loss of the triangle fort, the defenders of konotop Fort almost immediately felt the serious consequences of the loss of the triangle fort.


    The Russians worked frantically to consolidate their position in the triangle fort.


    After building a defensive position against konotopu fort, they piled up the platform with bags filled with soil until it was even higher than the wall of konotopu fort. In this way, they could bombard anywhere in konotop fort with two guns captured from the triangle fort.


    In the trench below, Russian soldiers can walk all the way to the base of the wall without fear of attack.


    The soldiers under Vasily selemedev set up a ladder against the wall in the trench, trying to launch a fierce attack, hoping to rush into konotop fort.


    They thought they would win, but such a charge was suicide. Because at this time, most of the defenders in konotop Fort had awakened. They climbed up the wall and greeted the attackers with fierce muskets and bullets.


    For the climbers under the wall, the defenders threw stones at their heads and poured boiling oil. The noise of the battle was deafening.


    After five hours of bloody fighting, the Russians were forced to retreat. The bodies of 100 elite soldiers were left in the trenches, while the defenders lost 30 soldiers.


    Chechen boarded the wall facing the triangle castle. At this time, he regretted his carelessness last night. But now regret has no effect. All he can do is stick to the main body of konotopu Fort until the army led by vigovsky comes to break the siege.


    The opposite triangle Fort sounded a gun, which was an empty gun. Obviously, this is the Russian army opposite reminding konotopney''s defenders that they have something to say.


    Standing behind the breast wall, Cherchen and a group of officers looked at the triangular fort. Suddenly, a figure appeared on the bunker.


    Then there are the second, the third... Ten people in total.


    These are the captives of the fort triangle garrison. In the battle last night, 25 of the 40 people on duty in the triangle fort were killed, five fled back to konotopu fort, and ten were injured and captured.


    The most terrible scene was staged at this time. Vasily selemedev walked towards a prisoner with a knife in his hand. With a sharp wave of the knife, the prisoner''s head fell under the wall. Blood gushed from the cut-off neck like a fountain and dyed a large area of the city wall red.


    Vasili slemedev smiled cruelly and ferociously, facing konotopu.


    He''s trying to intimidate the defenders of konotopu with something.


    "This devil, asshole."


    Fedot saw his teeth crack. He took his Turkish musket, put the butt of the gun on his shoulder and aimed it at Vasily selemedev.


    Several Cossack Musketeers did the same thing as fedot.


    But the cunning Vasili selemedev hid his body behind the second prisoner.


    Conscious of safety, Vasili selemedev put the saber across the throat of the second prisoner, and then slowly pulled the saber.


    The sharp blade cut the prisoner''s throat, and the blood stained the prisoner''s neck like red wine. His pupils began to diverge and his consciousness began to blur.


    Then the prisoner stumbled at his feet and fell off the triangle fort.


    Vasily selemedev''s extended to the third Cossack prisoner. This Cossack, also known as Vasili, is a bloody man. Although he is notorious in konotop and has been tied to the gun for beating because of gambling debts and stealing more than once, he is by no means a greedy man.


    At this time, Vasili saw that he was bound to die. He shouted to the Cossack brothers in konotopu: "farewell, brothers! Partners! May Ukraine last forever and the glory of Cossacks forever!"


    With that, Vassily jumped off the triangle fort and fell to death in the ditch.


    The other seven Cossack prisoners knew they had no luck. They shouted "long live Cossacks" and turned to fight with the Russian soldiers with their teeth and feet. They were soon killed.


    Vasili selemedev was brutally angry. He ordered the bodies of these rebel prisoners to be hung head down on the wall of the triangle Castle facing konotop castle, and their heads were cracked, their chests torn and their hearts dug out.


    Che Chen looked at the bloody scene. He shouted, "artillery, artillery."


    More voices shouted, "artillery, artillery."


    A three pound gun was pushed over. Che Chen took over the gunner''s torch. He aimed slightly in the direction of the triangle fort, and then lit the fire gate.


    The shell hit half the head with a helmet protruding from the back of the fortification and cut off his head and helmet together. Unfortunately, this person is not Vasily selemedev.


    The next day, the Gunners of both sides leaned against the fortifications and the largest artillery battle broke out. The battlements and sandbags of Fort triangle and Fort konotop were destroyed by gunfire several times and rebuilt several times.


    When the artillery had to stop to cool down because of continuous firing, the garrison threw fire rings, bombs and downpour bullets at the triangle fort, while the Russian soldiers also threw bombs in response. These bombs exploded on the breast wall and illuminated the Garrison''s body with an incredible and terrible light. The battlefield is as bright as day; From a distance, Fort konotop and Fort triangle look like two erupting volcanoes.


    However, Chechen could only do so. With the army led by Prince Alexei arriving at konotop again, the Russian forces in the triangle Fort have been unprecedentedly strengthened, and it is impossible to recapture the triangle fort.


    Moreover, Chechen realized that after the fall of the triangle fort, this section of the city wall would be easily penetrated by the enemy''s tunnel. To this end, he ordered the soldiers to dig a trench in the interior of the castle parallel to the city wall, and stacked sandbags in front of the trench as the second line of defense after the city wall was blown down by explosives.


    Outside the city, Prince Alexei looked at his own flag raised on the triangular fort. Ivan hilko said pleasantly: "Your Highness, you really use your arms like a God. Just make a small plan and take some of the triangular fort. I don''t think it will be long before your flag will be raised on konotop fort."


    The sedan chair was carried by the crowd, and Ivan hilko flattered Prince Alexei. Of course, other Russian generals were unwilling to fall behind. The flattery flowed out of their mouths like water and was going to make people faint.


    Prince Alexei did not look happy in this sea of flattery. He watched konotopu fort for a long, long time.


    Just to seize a triangular fort, at least 7000 people, accounting for one ninth of the soldiers in the army, including hundreds of the most elite Boye cavalry. In addition, so far, the whole army has consumed 400 barrels of gunpowder and more than 6000 shells. No matter how well they prepared before, the supply of gunpowder and shells is not inexhaustible.


    Moreover, the Russian army has spent more than a month here.


    "Ivan hilko." the prince called the Cossack captain''s name, "go to konotopu again and persuade aleval Chechen to surrender."
