The cold sky began to snow again, and the undulating outer Xing'an Mountains were like a white dragon lying across this boundless land.

The Longshanwei is located at the foot of this snowy outer Xing'an Mountains, with its back against the mountains. There are undulating hills in front of it. For the cavalry, this is not a good battlefield.

If a cavalry wants to attack, they can only charge from bottom to top. Their efforts will be greatly increased and the effect will not be obvious. On the contrary, if the cavalry guarding the city rushes down, they can achieve twice the result with half the effort.

The Cossack cavalry did not understand this truth, but now they have to attack the Longshan Guard.

Because Mao Wenlong and the people of the Ming Dynasty were so cruel, they had almost no survival information left by these Cossack cavalrymen. Not to mention food and water resources, even the trees for heating were almost cut off. The Golden Cossack cavalry was not afraid of the cold, but they were humans, and they were not iron-clad bodies, but they would also be frozen to death or starved to death.

However, various fish and meat fragrances floated from Longshanwei, the Ming Dynasty stronghold. You can even see the fire in the city at night. It was not a fire, but the fact that there was too much fire in the Longshanwei was stored, so you had to burn hot water day and night to heat the officials and people of Longshanwei.

Yes, although Longshanwei is just a newly built small town on the border of the Ming Dynasty, its urban construction is at the forefront of the Ming Dynasty and even the whole world, because it is the only town in the Ming Dynasty that is equipped with a city-wide heating supply system.

The reason why heating is very popular is because a lot of wood is accumulated here, which does not burn white or burn.

In the city are fragrant chicken, duck, fish, and warm bonfires and houses, but outside the city are deserted and cold snow fields and wild beasts with constant howling sounds.

Forgive the Cossack cavalry to know that siege was the most unfavorable way for him, but it also tempted him to fight hard to take down the Longshan Guard, otherwise they would either starve to death here, or they would have to drag their tired bodies, put down their ambitions and hatred, and obediently return to the Kingdom of Rakshasa.

Orknido was obviously unwilling to let this empire from the south occupy a fertile land, and he had learned that there was another area where the only unfrozen temple street was also controlled by this southern empire.

If he did not capture these two important places, the generals his Cossack cavalry would only be a vast and uninhabited land, except for wild animals and boundless snow fields, which were useless.

However, one of these two important places is the gate of the fish and rice town in the south, and the other is the only sea estuary, which is the two most important passes in East and West Siberia. It can be said that only by waiting for these two places is equivalent to obtaining the entire East and West Siberia.

However, the city walls of Longshanwei are not so easy to attack. Although the city is not as large as the capital city or even Shenyang, which is still called Shengjing City in the Qing Dynasty, the solidity of the city can be described as solid, because the Royal Academy of Engineering has recently developed the Royal Engineering Institute to use bamboo strips and steel strips to make concrete with cement and gravel.

The thickness is half a meter, which not only ensures that the Longshan Guard is warmer than the outside world, but also ensures that such a city is accidentally knocked down by enemy artillery.

Therefore, it is undoubtedly a very difficult thing for the Cossack cavalry with only strong war horses and sharp swords to break through this strong city.

...

The situation is always changing. The Ming Dynasty, who thought it could compromise some of the benefits and made the north calm for a while, never expected that it would become a confrontation between the Cossack Cavalry and Mao Wenlong.

At least until the weather gets warmer and the ice and snow fade away, the Cossack cavalry will no longer attack Longshanwei and Miaojie, although they can easily occupy more than two-thirds of the territory controlled by the Ming Dynasty. For them, there is no substantial gain except for the expansion of the territory.

Fortunately, in a short period of time, there will be no more large-scale wars on both sides.

The Ming Dynasty could still focus on the south, that is, to encircle and suppress Zheng's pirates.

The coastal guerrilla harassment tactics of Zheng's pirates did cause a lot of trouble to the Ming court. However, with the establishment of local self-protection groups such as the Imperial Guards, prefectures, prefectures, counties, towns, etc., the entire southeast coast has become an iron net for alarm and response at any time. The difficulty of coastal plunder and harassment has begun to increase, prompting the Zheng's pirates to make the scale of pirates plundering the coast become larger, but the larger the one, the easier it is to be discovered.

After a month of search and reconnaissance, the court finally found the assembly point of the Zheng pirate group on the southeast coast, and the three main fleets of the imperial court immediately gathered here.

As the blockade on the coast of Ming Dynasty became more and more stringent and the cost of guerrilla tactics began to increase, the Zheng pirate group did not dare to waste such a waste with the court, and had to use all its strength to fight the main fleet of the court.

Naval battles are not as good as 6 battles, and do not care about the gains and losses of a city and a pool. When this ocean age has not yet arrived, any fleet can find a natural good harbor without a master at any place. Especially as the powerful Zheng pirate group, it is not an exaggeration to describe it as a cunning rabbit three holes.

Therefore, now that the Zheng group can be forced to exert all its main forces, it will be considered half of the victory for the Ming Dynasty.

As long as the ships on which the Zheng group relies for survival and tens of thousands of pirates who are familiar with naval battles are wiped out, this pirate group that gathers in the Western Pacific and seriously threatens the Ming Dynasty's marine industry can be completely and proudly eliminated.

Gu Sanmazi was very excited at this time. As the commander-in-chief of the front enemy and the commander of hundreds of ships in the three main fleets, this was the largest naval battle he had commanded in his life.

So he had to take it seriously, not to mention that his enemy at this moment was once the overlord of the sea that he dared not even imagine - Zheng Zhilong!

Zheng Zhilong was also looking at the fleet of the court opposite. He did not dare to despise Gu Sanmazi, the newly emerging naval battle general, because his two brothers were all in the hands of this man.

Zheng Zhilong even felt a pity that he had never seen Gu Sanmazi.

There were too many ships, which made the entire vast sea surface crowded. The towering sails made a whimpering sound under the strong wind, like ghosts and gods howling wolves, and seabirds screamed in tears. They seemed to have guessed that this place would become a Shura field, so they desperately wanted to leave here.

The guard soldiers and pirates who participated in this naval battle also held their breath and concentrated. The countless ships that could no longer be seen in front of them, and even many ships that stood in front of them like mountains brought them not only shock but also a kind of pressure that determined life and death.
