In such a cold weather, Fadeev's forehead was sweating. He really regretted his mistake. If he had known that the opponent's 'Tepukhin' had been replaced, he would never have let himself take the risk.
Intelligence is one of the most important jobs in the military, even more important than weapons, equipment and personnel quality. If Fadeev knew in advance that this was a fake, he would never go to the ice to negotiate in person, let alone give him the information first. After receiving the money.
It was precisely because he believed that the other party was the cowardly, greedy, and shameless Tepuxin that he negotiated with great force, because he believed that with the handle and so much gold in his hand, he could definitely bribe the other party.
Damn it! How can I make a substitution? How about we stop playing tricks on people like this? Let’s take a look at Hunchun’s aura first. This man who looks like an iron tower doesn’t seem to be a weakling, so scaring him won’t work.
But can you work hard? Fadeyev didn’t want to die here. He was able to recruit the commander of a regiment of 50,000 Cossack cavalry in the Tsarist Russian military circles. He was already a trusted general of the Tsar. A great future awaited him. How could he easily be here? Lose your life.
No, I am destined to compete with France and Prussia on the European battlefield. I absolutely cannot die here.
Hunchun saw the hesitation in his opponent's eyes at a glance. He knew that the person opposite was afraid, and at this time Hunchun's heart grew ruthless.
"Come on! Hurt each other! Shoot! Grandson... If you don't shoot, you will be my grandson!"
Hunchun raised his hand and shouted to the soldiers behind him, "Don't these Rakshasa ghosts look down on our equipment? Grandpa, I will use Emperor Kangxi's cannon to blow them up today!"
"What do you want to do? Calm down..." Fadeyev's forehead was covered with sweat.
Aihuicheng is the most important military fortress and commercial town in the Heilongjiang defense line. The defense here has been reinforced since the Kangxi period.
In the twenty-fifth year of Kangxi's reign, in order to start a war with the Tsarist Russian army, dozens of red cannons were cast in Aihui City. These cannons, with barrels fully 20 centimeters thick, are primitive but extremely durable and are still used during the Kangxi period until now. Can fire normally.
Of course, the accuracy and power of this kind of smoothbore cannon are not very good, but it is more powerful than others, and it is indeed quite scary to kill people without killing people. In particular, Hunchun didn't want to kill Fadeev with one shot today. He just wanted to use the cannon to bomb the ice to show his determination.
The bonfire illuminated two dark red cannons. These typical seventeenth-century artillery pieces were all too familiar to Fadeev. He had learned how to operate such cannons when he was in military school.
"Tepxin... no no no... Hunchun, are you crazy?" Fadeyev really didn't expect that Hunchun would order the firing before he even retreated to a safe place.
But it was too late. The fuse of the long-loaded red cannon was lit, and tongues of flame flickered brightly in the dark night. Only two loud bangs were heard, and two red sparks bloomed from the muzzle.
"Regiment Commander, be careful..." Almost subconsciously, Fadeev strictly followed the instructions of the military academy. When he saw the artillery bombardment, he quickly lay down. He lay on the ice and the soldiers around him pressed on him like a stack of arhats.
The soldiers on the north bank rushed directly to the ice regardless of the danger, preparing to rescue their regiment commander. Even division commanders Chekov and Asavin rushed up personally.
The solid shells did not aim at Fadeev, but instead hit the ice more than eighty meters to their left and right. There were only two muffled bangs, followed by cracks like cracks under the ice like a swimming dragon. ring.
"The ice is about to break! Drag the regiment commander away quickly..." The crazy soldiers didn't care about the Qing army on the opposite side, dragging Fadeev's ankles like a dead dog and fled towards the north bank.
The soldiers around Hunchun raised their hands and wanted to shoot, but were stopped by the general. "Don't shoot! Our goal is to force them to retreat, not to form a deadly feud! We will protect this land for His Majesty in the future. We will have three years." It’s a difficult time, now is not the time to fight against the Rakshasa ghost..."
Big chunks of the ice surface cracked, the lattice-shaped ice surface cracked inch by inch, cold river water surged up, and ice floes collided with each other, making crisp sounds.
At this moment, the soldiers on the south bank were also going crazy. "Bring the general back quickly! The ice is about to break..." Although the fragmentation points of the two bullets were about 80 meters away from Hunchun, ice is extremely brittle. Cracks sometimes extend for hundreds of meters or even two to three hundred meters.
God knows whether the river will swallow Hunchun in the next second!
The soldiers rushed forward to drag the general away, but Hunchun actually shouted like a madman at Fadeev who was gliding on the ice.
"Come on! Come on and hurt each other if you dare! Let's see who is afraid of whom!"
"Hahaha...are you scared? Hahaha...your great leader of the Cossack Cavalry is actually scared? You ran away like a dead dog!"
"It turns out it's just that! It turns out you Rakshasa ghosts are also afraid of death! Hahaha... It turns out you are also afraid of death! Bah..."
Crazy, Hunchun jumped and screamed like a madman, and the soldiers on both sides of the Taiwan Strait looked at the crazy general like a fool. Sister Wu on the south bank understood what Hunchun was doing. He was using his own life to boost morale, and he was using crazy methods to frighten the enemy.
Rakshasa ghosts have nothing to be afraid of. They are also afraid of death. Look, they are also afraid of death!
Fadeev was protected by his loyal division commander, and everyone couldn't help but feel a chill in their hearts when they looked at the crazy Hunchun.
Since ancient times, those who are violent are afraid of those who are stunned, and those who are stunned are afraid of those who are desperate for their lives. But what are those who are desperate for their lives afraid of? Of course, he is afraid of madmen. Now Hunchun is a madman, a madman who will do anything to defend his territory.
The south bank suddenly erupted with cheers like a roaring mountain and a tsunami, "General, mighty tiger! Won victory!"
Commander Chekov's teeth were itching so hard: "General! Let's start a war. We can't let these Qing slaves be so cheap! Let's start a war..."
But at this time, Fadeyev was already frightened by Hunchun's madness. He shook his head in horror, "Fight? How to fight? There is no way for large troops to pass on the ice, let alone war horses. You have to carry a heavier load." All the equipment might fall into the river, how can we fight?"
"Look at the number of people on the other side. The nearly eight-kilometer-long defensive zone contains at least 80,000 or 90,000 soldiers. How can we charge while we wait for work?"
"Do you want to take a detour? It's not like you haven't seen the terrain map before. The east and west sides of this broken ice surface are full of deep and dense forests. The large troops cannot maneuver at all. They can even harass them by dropping a group of hunters on the south bank. It’s hard for us to make any progress!”
Fadeyev was so angry that he said, "Let's go! Let's go downstream. I don't believe they can block all the river surfaces. Anyway, we are not going to cross the river here! Let's go to the mouth of the Songhua River..."
"Just let them go like this? I don't accept it..." All the generals were about to cry in anger.
"There will be a day of revenge. The Chinese are right. It is never too late for a gentleman to take revenge!"
