Chapter 1190 Standing for a Thousand Years (Third Update, Please Subscribe)
Who would have thought that when the new year of 1885 was about to pass, Central Asia, located in the hinterland of the mainland, would usher in a baptism of blood and fire...

Six days later, on February 2, this day is Valentine's Day.

The mighty Russian army finally crossed Hu Zhande and killed Suihua Fort.

"Huaxia people..."

Looking at the fortress in the distance through the telescope, Nikolai Pavlovich Ignatiev's tone was full of contempt. He had enough reasons to look down on the Chinese.

Twenty-five years ago, at the age of only 25, he arrived in the capital of the Qing Dynasty as an envoy. Although he was ordered by Emperor Xianfeng of the Qing Dynasty to leave the capital for Kyakhta because he refused to kneel down.But instead of leaving, he took advantage of the opportunity of the second Opium War when the Anglo-French coalition forces surrounded Beijing. Without authorization, he pretended to be an intermediary to mediate the war between China and Britain and France. As a reward, he asked Prince Gong Yixin to sign a treaty and cede 28 square kilometers of land from the east of the Ussuri River to the Pacific Ocean.

Throughout the ages, who has opened up 40 square kilometers of territory with their mouths?
And only he, Nikolai Pavlovich Ignatiev!
When he returned to St. Petersburg, all Russia cheered him victorious, he conquered the East!

As a hero, he looked down on the Chinese people in his bones. This was the case in the past, and it is the same now!

What appeared in front of his eyes was an earthen fortress built on a raised highland in a river valley plain, surrounded by low walls, watchtowers and blockhouse groups. In addition, there are two trenches on the periphery. Deer villages and barbed wire fences are erected outside the trenches. Cannons, 12 small mortars and 36 machine guns formed a tight cross-fire network.

For Nikolai Pavlovich Ignatiev, however, it was only a fortress for barbarian defense.

"General, we can take it in one charge!"

Colonel Ivanovic's big words made Nicholas laugh out loud.

"No, Colonel, I think the artillery is still needed before the charge! Send someone over there to deliver an ultimatum!"

……

"The Russians are coming!"

Putting down the binoculars, Meng Guoren frowned. After receiving the news of the Russian invasion, he took in the nearby villagers. Now there are more than 2000 soldiers and civilians in Suihua Fort, and they can support them anyway.

"Battalion Commander, the old man is coming up!"

Two fast horses galloped forward. The leader was a Russian with a big beard and wearing a white military uniform. Behind him was a soldier holding a white flag. He was Captain Rudolf of the Russian Border Guard. The two of them were also acquaintances.

Seeing this, Meng Guoren walked out.When they got close, the Russian captain jumped off his horse.

"Hello, Battalion Commander Meng, I am Captain Rudolph of the Roman Empire Army, and I am here to negotiate with you on the order of the commander."

Looking at the officer in front of him, Captain Rudolph said in blunt Chinese.

"The Kokand Khanate is the protectorate of the Roman Empire. Your invasion of the Kokand Khanate has seriously damaged the interests of the Roman Empire. In order to protect the interests and dignity of the Roman Empire, we ask you to withdraw from Kokand immediately! "

The captain's words fell into Meng Guoren's ears verbatim. He looked at Captain Rudolph, and then pointed to a lonely mound in the distance and said.

"Captain, do you know what that is?"

"what?"

Captain Rudolph looked at the mound with some doubts.

"That's the beacon tower of the Tang Dynasty!"

Meng Guoren said with a solemn expression.

"The Tang Dynasty was my dynasty in China, and this place is my homeland in China. The beacon towers and ancient cities all over the place are proof of that!"

In the past few years, archaeologists from the Ming Dynasty discovered a large number of ancient cities of the Tang Dynasty here, and many cultural relics were unearthed, which also strongly proved that it has been the territory of China since ancient times.

"Since it is my homeland in China, what does it have to do with Rome!"

Staring at the lonely millennium "earth pillar", Rudolph said.

"Commander Meng, that is history and the past. The reality is that Kokand is a vassal state of the Roman Empire, and you are invaders!"

"We are the true masters of this land! We are taking back the land of our ancestors! Now, we will defend him with our lives!"

……

Shelling!

A few minutes later, heavy shelling began, field artillery, large-caliber mortars.

The overwhelming artillery fire hit Suihua Fort. Under the fierce artillery fire, the soldiers of the kingdom of heaven curled up in the trenches and fortresses. Although this was the first time they suffered such fierce artillery fire, thanks to the After years of training by Imperial military advisers, they are still able to skillfully use fortifications to protect themselves.

"Attention everyone, the old man is coming up!"

Although shells exploded constantly near the shelter, Liang Laosan still stared at the situation ahead with his eyes wide open. The thick smoke and flying dust from the explosions blocked his sight, and the smell of gunpowder smoke made him almost breathless. angry.

After loading the rifle with a "crash", Li Jie, who was squatting in the trench, gasped nervously. He could feel the shock when the shell exploded as he leaned forward against the trench.The howls and cries for help of the wounded were everywhere in my ears.

death!

Come so fast!

The 120mm mortar shells weighing more than ten kilograms fell into the trenches, not only blowing up the trenches, but also blowing up the people in the trenches to the sky. Flesh and mud were scattered around the trenches. Li Jie even saw a foot It fell in front of my eyes.

Whose foot is this?
Where did the shoes go?

With such thoughts in mind, after a few rounds of intensive artillery fire, the sound of explosions became sparse.

"The old man is coming up!"

Although shells still exploded around the position from time to time, Li Jie and his comrades raised their heads from the trenches. Through the black and gray gunpowder smoke, Li Jie and the others could see a faint shadow——it was Lao Maozi.

"The old man is here!"

Lying on the edge of the trench, Li Jie pointed his rifle at the front.

"Don't shoot, shoot closer!"

Liang Laoshan shouted loudly.

In the past, they must have shot from a distance, but in the past few years, under the years of training of the Ming Empire Advisory Group and those officers who studied in the empire, they are no longer the old Amon.

"Hold on, hold on..."

Even though he has fought with Qing Yao and He Shu for more than ten years, and he has never been cowardly on the battlefield, Liang Laoshan still seems a little nervous. After all, the enemy he is facing now is Lao Maozi.

Under the cover of artillery fire, thousands of old men came to kill them in white military uniforms. They held rifles, their eyes were contemptuous and fanatical.

Suddenly, gunshots rang out, and the dense gunshots echoed on the battlefield, instantly setting off clusters of blood in the whiteness...
