The Cossack cavalry tried to cut wood and make ladders several times, forcibly climbing the two cities of Miaojie and Longshanwei.

Even the Cossack cavalry wanted to use a thousand-year-old giant tree to directly knock open the city gate.

But unfortunately, the Ming army had already poured a lot of water on both cities. When the temperature dropped sharply at night, the current cities of Miaojie and Longshan had completely turned into a solid ice city.

The Cossacks thought of burning them with fire, but it was still quite difficult to melt the city walls with a thickness of several feet wide.

What's more, once you get close to the city wall and burn it, you will be crushed and beaten.

The time is not occupied, the weapons are not better than the Ming army, and the cavalry is unable to exert its advantages, and there are fewer and fewer foods to eat. The Cossack cavalry can only continue to surround them, minimizing the energy consumption.

But they still did not choose to retreat. From Eastern Europe to this point, they were invincible all the way and had never encountered half a strong enemy. If they could not defeat both cities here and even the relatively short yellow race could not defeat them, their Cossack cavalry's reputation would be completely defeated in the Rakshasa Kingdom.

This is undoubtedly the fundamental threat to a tribe who makes a living by military war.

The Supreme Commander of the Cossack Cavalry, Orknido, had to ask for support from the country of Rakshasa.

...

"What I worry most is that after the weather gets warmer, the strongness of Miaojie and Longshanwei will definitely decrease. The Cossack cavalry outside the city will also receive supplies because of the large amount of hibernation prey awakening. The consumption in the city is also intensified, especially food and medicinal materials. If there is any epidemic, it will be bad. Many people in the city have just moved here, which is not suitable for the water and soil here. They can survive the cold and cold winter, but when the weather gets warmer and the hot and cold alternates, they will not be able to keep the body poor and will not feel the wind and cold."

Mao Wenlong put his hands into his sleeves and said while walking around the room.

"I don't know when the imperial army and supplies will arrive. Our people reported that they had been observing for several days in a row, and there was no movement at sea, and the whistle cavalry did not find anyone coming from land. However, the cavalry of Jiannu has been more active recently. Taking advantage of the Cossack cavalry fighting with me, they captured several retreating castles."

Zhu Guozheng tried hard to blow some wet blocks of firewood. In order to ensure the heating in the city, he didn't give me any wet blocks of firewood. Anyway, he cut down a lot of trees to stock up in the city. Now, dry blocks are used to cook and boil water. Usually, the only ones who burn the fire are the only ones who are burning the fire.

Mao Wenlong sighed helplessly about Jiannu's behavior, but he felt relieved. Jiannu has at least not yet fully seen through the current situation and can only take advantage of the situation. However, no one is sure whether they will unite with the Cossack cavalry to completely put the Ming military and civilians who have traveled thousands of miles and finally gained a foothold.

"Wait a little longer, I have to get through it no matter how hard I want to end. I hope that the war in the south can end soon. As long as the war in the south is over, with the military strength of our Ming Dynasty, the mere Cossack cavalry will be just the end of the force."

As Mao Wenlong said that, he left the General's Mansion and prepared to go to the military camp to take a look.

...

Xilingol Mansion, Monan, which has been relocated to the land, has now become a very important transit station in the Ming Dynasty.

Last year, Yang Tinglin was ordered to build a highway between Mobei Town and Xilin Gol Youping Guard.

Now it has been basically announced to be completed, and by now, when we support Mao Wenlong and Zhu Guozheng's troops, we have saved a lot of time.

Except for most infantrymen, they rely on the North Sea Fleet to transport them to Miao Street, the rest of the cavalry, other troops and important supplies must pass through here.

At this time, this area has been strictly warned and no herders are allowed to enter within five miles. In particular, the border with Jiannu has been added to prevent the logistics supply line from being cut off.

But some herders hired as civilians were fortunate to see the scene of the army passing through.

The front of the guards were naturally the Imperial Guards, but the Imperial Guards had already changed into white robes, white hats, white gloves and white snow boots in order to better hide their whereabouts in the snow.

Even their cavalry special muskets were painted with white paint. According to a cademician from the Royal Academy of Engineering, this paint can be anti-freeze.

The second is all kinds of large weapons. Now the Ming Dynasty has begun to vigorously manufacture large-scale combat vehicles, especially after the artillery skills reached a certain level, the comprehensive promotion of steam power, and the improvement of ruts, modern combat vehicles emerged.

Using steam power to make civilian steam-powered locomotives has technically met the requirements, but are not practical for civil use.

Because the cost is too high and the volume is too large, it is not easy to walk on the streets in the current Ming Dynasty. What's more, gold plating technology and electrochemistry have not yet appeared, and these large steam-powered locomotives have ugly appearances.

The same is true for the chariots marching on the grasslands in the south of the desert at this time.

On the surface, it looks like a combination of broken copper and iron, with two super-large chimneys on the back, emitting black smoke, like a large stove.

Although there are also tracks below, because of the poor machining skills of the machine tool, the chariots always move in a crooked manner. If they are not large in size, they will directly turn the rhythm of somersaults. It is conceivable what kind of bumps the soldiers sitting inside are suffering.

Moreover, the speed is not fast, and an adult can surpass him even if he walks faster, but despite this, the coal mine it consumes in one-tenth of the coal mine consumption in the entire capital.

How steam thermal efficiency is more reflected in kinetic energy has always been a difficult problem.

It is a bit clumsy and not beautiful, but it still has power. Its turret is equipped with a twelve-pound cannon and a Ming version of the machine gun. In order to prevent the powerful recoil from overturning the chariot during firing, the chassis was specially increased a little, which made it even more bulky.

Behind the chariot were two hundred newly made rifled cannons pulled by the carriage. These cannons were also painted white and their caliber became smaller, but the cannon body was extended a lot, just like an elephant's trunk slowly moving forward on the grassland.

Johnson Chan also followed these two hundred cannons this time. He was not sure how much the thermal expansion and contraction under extremely cold weather would have on these new cannons. Although he had done relevant experiments, he was still not sure. After all, the Royal Academy of Engineering in Beijing now cannot create an experimental environment of tens of degrees below zero.

Artillery followed by flight battalions and other strategic weapons.

This time the poisonous gas bomb was very full. The Royal Academy of Engineering's microbial fermentation institute added several large fermenters, and the selection of bacterial strains for methane and hydrogen sulfide microorganisms was further optimized. After the first generation, the reproduction speed and secondary metabolic capacity of the next generation of microorganisms have been greatly enhanced.

In addition, the Ming Dynasty has now begun to carry out primary constant temperature treatment, which can make microorganisms more efficient fermentation.

However, I bring more food and bedding and cotton coats. Sometimes the key to the victory or defeat of the war lies in these aspects that concern human food, clothing, housing and transportation.

...

Fortunately, Miaojie is one of the few unfreezing port areas in the northeast, so the North Sea Fleet can successfully transport the Imperial Guard infantry to Longshan Acropolis not far from Miaojie and Miaojie.

The first to arrive at Miaojie and Longshan Guard was the First Brigade of the First Infantry Army of the Imperial Guards. The day after they landed, they were discovered by the Cossack Cavalry's whistle cavalry.

Orknido, the commander of the Cossack cavalry, had a little fear after learning that reinforcements from the Ming army had arrived, but when he learned that the infantry came, he breathed a sigh of relief and did not seize the opportunity to retreat for the last time.

"It's just a few two-legged infantrymen who want to compete for territory with my Cossack heroes. It's really whimsical. Since that's the case, let these yellow shorts taste the sharpness of our steel knife, pass on the orders, end the encirclement of Temple Street City, and gather together, and kill me while these yellow shorts have not yet gained a foothold!"

After all, it is a Western army that is only at the level of fighting in groups. The Cossack Cavalry did not think about first exploring the reality and reality. If you know yourself and your enemy, you will never be able to win a hundred battles. In his opinion, Oknido's opinion, the cavalry is definitely an overwhelming advantage in front of infantry. Even if it is a long hair and a shield formation, it will be dispersed in front of my Cossack Cavalry and then be stepped into meat paste by his own iron hooves.

The first one to land was the Imperial Guard Infantry, which was Chang Yanling's First Town, the First Brigade of the Imperial Guard First Army. For the only ace army in the Ming Dynasty that was equipped with rifled rifles and Minnie rifled rifles, this was his first appearance on the battlefield.

Previously, the First Brigade of the Imperial Guards had been stationed in the capital and was conducting training. After all, after being equipped with modern weapons, its training mode had to be upgraded, so that it would be completely built into the first ace army of the Ming Dynasty.

The First Brigade had more than 5,000 people, and the number was tens of thousands less than the Cossack cavalry that were besieging it at this time. And when all the main forces of the Cossack cavalry arrived, the First Brigade of the Imperial Guards had just built the first defensive obstacle and was preparing to pick up other brothers to land.

But now that the Cossack cavalry could not wait to approach, Chang Yanling had to take the First Brigade to fire with the Cossack cavalry first.

On the entire white snow field, the Cossack cavalry rushed towards the First Brigade of the Imperial Guards like an avalanche, sand and sand.

Its sharp long sword is particularly dazzling under the sunlight, especially when these screaming Cossack cavalry danced in the hands of these bloodthirsty madmen.

"The first battalion is blocking frontal, the second battalion and the third battalion are responsible for left and right scattering. The fourth battalion continues to build the camp and immediately sends a signal to other brothers. The Cossack cavalry can't wait to take advantage of us, so they can see that the tiger's butt is incomprehensible!"

After Chang Yanling said that, the soldiers of the Imperial Guards of the First Battalion walked outside the wooden railing to prepare for array. All the soldiers of the First Battalion were arranged around the first line of defense, and they knelt on one knee, picked up the guns, pulled the bolts and aimed at the rolling Massac cavalry in front.

The Second Battalion and the Third Battalion immediately moved to the left and right wings, using snow slopes or tree stumps as cover, waiting for the Cossack cavalry to approach at any time.

The Cossack cavalry were very excited. They were siegeing Miaojie and Longshanwei, and they didn't get any advantage when they saw the First Brigade of the Imperial Guards, and they were as crazy and forgetful as the wolfdog in heat.

They were very skilled in changing riding skills, staring at the Ming soldiers in front of them with blood-red eyes, who looked solemn and seemed to be stunned, and kept scolding Huang Dwarf.

Fortunately, the soldiers of the First Brigade of the Imperial Guards did not understand their swear words. As a well-trained modern infantry, the typical classical army of the Cossack cavalry brought only shock to them, but their superb riding skills may increase the difficulty of shooting for the Imperial Guards.

But the First Brigade of the Imperial Guards, who have been training in the capital for a year, are not really worried that these cavalrymen will not be able to shoot accurately because they are moving quickly, but they just add some tension.

...

"Enter the range and fight!"

After the commander of the First Battalion gave the order, bursts of gunfire sounded suddenly, and the speed was very fast, covering the Cossack cavalry rushing in the front in an instant.

These Cossack cavalry did not realize that they had been hit while moving at high speed. They did not realize that they had been hit until they found that they had fallen to the ground with their men and horses.

Suddenly, under the dense and continuous firepower, these originally spectacular Cossack cavalry were beaten to the point of being flesh and blood. Some of their entire heads were directly blown up, some of their horses were shot, and people were directly stepped into meat paste.

Even if he escaped by chance, he was shot clean by the second and third battalions on the left and right wings.

Orknido hurriedly whistled the trumpet and ordered his Cossack cavalry to retreat. He was shocked and did not dare to advance rashly. He just asked suspiciously: "How come these infantry have such powerful firearms in their hands!"

"The enemy retreats temporarily, the first battalion retreats and clears the barrel, the fourth battalion connects, and rotates alternately within the second battalion and the third battalion to prevent the enemy's next wave of attacks."

As soon as the Cossack cavalry retreated, the Imperial Guards' First Brigade also immediately cleaned the barrel according to Chang Yanling's order. It turned out that although the current Imperial Guards' First Brigade has equipped Minnie guns and Minnie bullets, the gunpowder is still black gunpowder, not smokeless gunpowder, so many impurities will remain when the bullet explodes and blocks the barrel.

This has to be said to be a small defect in the Ming Dynasty's ordnance manufacturing. Perhaps this problem can only be perfectly solved after the smokeless gunpowder appears.

However, despite such a small flaw, the First Brigade of the Imperial Guards could easily block the attack of the Cossack cavalry.

More than an hour later, Orknido launched a second attack, but this time he learned to be smarter and used his numerical advantage to attack the First Infantry Brigade of the Imperial Guards from three sides.

Chang Yanling had to use all four battalions to block from four directions. With the advantage of range advantage and rapid continuous fire strike, the Cossack cavalry of Orknido still couldn't take any advantage.

This made him very depressed. He couldn't chew Miaojie and Longshanwei. Now only five thousand infantrymen can't chew.
Chapter completed!
