On the early morning of May 24, the day after Prince Alexei ordered Ivan hilko to persuade him to surrender, Ivan hilko and a small group of attendants, holding white flags, leaned out from behind the fortifications on the triangle fort.

He fired a shot into the air and ordered his entourage to keep shaking the white flag to show that he had come to negotiate.

The answer to the renegade Cossack captain was a shell fired from the fort konotop.

The shell shot from Ivan hilko\'s side and scared him to hide behind the fortification.

After a while, an old Cossack with white hair and beard was pushed out. Holding a white flag, he walked along the passage to konotopu fort, and then stopped at the junction of the suspension bridge.

Perhaps his old age made the Cossack who guarded the city compassionate. No one shot at him, and the suspension bridge was put down.

Yelishei greeted him and blindfolded him. The old brother Sark was brought to Chechen. Chechen received the old Cossack in the dungeon of the castle. There are airtight walls on all sides, which can ensure that the virtual reality in konotop fort is not seen by it to the greatest extent.

Old brother Sark handed a letter to Chechen. Above is Prince Alexei\'s renewed offer of surrender.

To be exact, this is no longer a condition of surrender. Because Prince Alexei said in his letter that the garrison of konotopu fort can safely leave konotopu fort with all personnel, property and artillery and go wherever they want.

Cherchen could not surrender or give up konotopu. Even Prince Alexei\'s reputation has always been. After reading the letter, he wanted to refuse severely, but an idea made him hesitate - that is, whether to take advantage of Prince Alexei\'s peace seeking opportunity to pretend peace talks, delay time with a delaying strategy, and win time for the garrison to strengthen the castle.

But after weighing the pros and cons, Chechen gave up this idea. At this time, a big reason why the defenders in konotop castle are gritting their teeth and insisting is that Vasili selemedev\'s atrocities made them believe that surrender will not come to a good end. Only by sticking to it can they live. At this time, any hint of negotiation will seriously affect the determination of resistance.

Compared with confidence, the time gained by intrigue is insignificant.

Old brother Sark saw that Chechen was silent for a long time. He mistakenly thought that Chechen was excited. The old brother Sark advised in a hoarse voice, "son, surrender. How can you be the opponent of the Russians? This opportunity is so rare and the conditions are so generous. He also repeatedly said that he would protect your safety with his honor."

Chechen twisted the letter into a paper ball.

He said word by word, "go back and tell Prince Alexei that aleval Chechen and the defenders of konotopu will never surrender."

With that, Chechen ordered yelishei to blindfold old Cossack and take him out of konotopu castle.

When old brother Sark returned to the triangle fort, Cherchen expressed his attitude with a shell.

The Russian army immediately fired back.

The next day, something quite dramatic happened, which greatly encouraged the morale of the Garrison\'s soldiers - Vasili selemedev was seriously injured by his own artillery.

It was the stone gun of Czar Russia that created this war result.

It is not known why it hit the triangle fort, but the most likely case is that the gunner who operated the stone gun did not adjust the pitch angle. He may have raised the angle of the cannon too high, or he may have lowered the muzzle too low. In a word, the shell did not cross the triangle fort and hit the wall of konotop fort, but hit the triangle fort. Fragments of stone bullets flew around the triangular fort, and a fragment hit Vassily selemedev in the waist. Although the mirror armor worn by Vasili selemedev played a protective role, he was seriously injured, and the fragments deeply pierced his back waist and fell to the ground. Vasily selemedev immediately fell into a coma. His tongue stuck out of his mouth, and blood gushed from the wound.

Although the garrison of the triangle Fort immediately carried Vasili selemedev down the triangle fort and secretly carried him to medical treatment, the news soon leaked out. This made some Russian soldiers and the Cossacks under Ivan hilko think that this was the retribution of Vassily selemedev\'s cruelty.

There was a moment of panic in the army.

Facing the unstable situation of the army, Prince Alexei decided to win the castle with a general attack.

He first confirmed that konotopu Fort had been surrounded so tightly that even a fly could not fly out.

Then, the Russian artillery fire on the triangle Fort violently bombarded the iron chain pulling the suspension bridge, connecting the channel between the triangle fort and konotop Fort again.

After all this, on June 1, all four sides of konotop castle were attacked.

Under the cover of artillery and Musketeers, thousands of people leaned the ladder against the wall at the same time.

The fire guns and rolling stones of the defenders of konotopu Fort could not resist such a surging sea of people. The city wall was lost one after another, and more and more Russian soldiers climbed up the city wall.

An unprecedented white-edged war broke out on the city wall. Russian soldiers tried to plant their flag on any part of konotopu fort, but their attempts were broken again and again.

Snipers headed by fedot on the two towers constantly snipe the enemy climbing the ladder from the side. They choose Russian Boye cavalry in conspicuous armor.

A famous Russian Boyer cavalry fell from a ladder. On the city wall, the Cossacks waved sabers and pickaxes, and the German double handed swordsmen waved flame swords and machetes. They fought in the sea of people and danced in the sea of blood.

The fierce and intense fighting made some people lose their mind. A Cossack whose shoulders were cut off by a long axe rushed to the artillery. He turned the muzzle recklessly towards the wall in the scuffle.

With the sound of a gun, the high-speed shell ploughed a blood line on the wall. On the path of solid shells, whether Russians, Cossacks or Germans; Whether aristocrats, mud legs or mercenaries, they are all turned into flesh and blood

After more than five hours of bloody battle, the attack stalled. The exhausted Russians had to retreat, and konotopu remained intact.

In the afternoon sun, survivors crawl in a rubble castle.

Commander hwadeki was killed.

In order to destroy the suspension bridge, the company commander carried more than a dozen bombs. He jumped down from the top of the gate and died with the suspension bridge and dozens of enemies on it.

Company commander Jamie Popovich was seriously injured. The brave company commander kept throwing bombs at the enemy climbing like ants on the wall. A bomb that ignited a message exploded in advance. His palm was blurred and fell into a coma on the spot.

Others - yelishei, Xie Miao and Fatima were injured to varying degrees.

Chechen commanded the battle in the center of the playground. A grenade landed near him from heaven. Chechen was stunned and passed out.

The breast wall and the drill ground are full of dead bodies. Now it is impossible to bury the dead. Even moving the bodies is an impossible job.

All the battlements on the wall had been damaged, but the defenders had no spare power to repair them.

Under the unbearable hot sun, flies fly wildly, filled with the pungent smell of stone powder and gunpowder and the stench of dead bodies.
