Chapter 949: Boiling

Shishkin rode on his horse with a contemptuous smile on his face. One look? Book ???·? K?A?N?S?H?U·COM

He wears a fur barrel hat on his head, a mink coat, elk leather trousers, and bearskin boots on his feet. Even with such tight equipment, the north wind in Heilongjiang Province still made him feel cold.

The Ming people who have no fur want to rely on cotton jackets to protect against the north wind in this cold season? That must have frozen to death last night.

Shishkin rode at the front of 20,000 Cossacks, and he was 120 percent sure that what he saw was a contingent of fleeing peasants suffering from the cold north wind, freezing to death and frostbite.

Shishkin seemed to have seen the frightened gaze of those peasants when he rushed into the ranks of the Ming peasants with his saber in hand, and the helpless trembling of the Ming women.

Shishkin's favorite thing to see is the enemy's woman trembling in front of her own saber.

Getting closer and closer to the "fleeing peasants" in front, Shishkin was already shadowing the team in front of him. Sure enough, Shishkin saw a team on foot. Shishkin became more and more excited, and suddenly yelled on his horse: "Ula! ”

This arrogant roar suddenly resonated with countless resonances among the Cossacks behind him:

"Ulla!"

"Ulla!"

However, the sweet dreams of the Cossacks were finally awakened by reality.

Shishkin was greeted not by screams of terror and scattered flights, but by hundreds of mortar shells.

Shishkin's eyes widened, and with ten thousand incredulous eyes, he looked at the mortar shells that fell from the sky, as if he saw an impossible miracle.

Is the front really an army?

So many shells flew over, and it was clear that there was a large force of more than 10,000 people in front. One look? Book ???·? K?A?N?S?H?U·COM

The Ming people did not have Siberian fur, how did the Ming people resist the cold of Siberia and attack Heilongjiang Province in this coldest winter?

Mortar shells are like merciless messengers, which suddenly shred all the illusions of the Russians.

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

Mortar shells exploded around Shishkin, and although the shells were small, they were able to shoot steel slag into an area of two or three meters in front and behind. The cavalry in front saw the cannonball coming, and rode out of the way. But the cavalry behind did not know that there were shells on the ground in front of them, and they were hit one after another.

Immediately several hundred Cossack cavalrymen were blown up and half killed. Some of the horses were killed, and they fell to the ground with people and horses. Some of the Cossacks were wounded by the cavalry and fell from their horses screaming.

Shishkin was very unlucky, he rushed to the front of the whole army and was the key target of the Ming army. At least ten mortar shells exploded around him, turning his horse into a sieve.

Hilal was also wounded by the steel slag that burst out of the cannonball, and as soon as he went limp, he fell to the ground with his horse.

The cavalry behind could not stop the horses and stepped directly on Shishkin's body.

In the blink of an eye, Shishkin was trampled into rotten flesh by rolling iron hooves.

Commander-in-Chief Zhirkov's eyes widened into brass bells.

Shishkin of the Urals died so quickly?

The front is not only an army, but also an elite army. At a distance of more than a mile, the Ming army was able to accurately fire shells into the ranks on this side, which was more accurate and well-trained than even the Cossacks of Zhirkov.

But how did the fur-deficient Ming army overcome the cold and get here?

Zhirkov was in great shock.

Could it be that the Ming army endured the casualties of frostbite and freezing death at night, forcibly advanced, and forcibly advanced to this extreme northern Heilongjiang Province regardless of the casualties?

It must be like this. There is only one answer!

It was impossible for the Ming soldiers who could not obtain furs in large quantities to attack Heilongjiang Province in the north wind of December, and this was the only way.

Then after such a march regardless of the life and death of the soldiers, the morale of the Ming Kingdom must be so low that it is vulnerable.

Zhirkov thought for a while, raised his hand, and shouted: "The whole army is in loose formation, shoot and charge!" Rush forward with all your might! ”

The Cossacks shouted loudly in response to their leader, removing the already loaded frontloading rifled guns from their backs.

These rifles can fight 200 meters, and by Russian weights and measures, it is 600 "steps". These guns were new weapons purchased by Russia from the British. Of course, having purchased a batch, the Russians quickly discovered that this weapon was actually simple in structure. Now Russia can produce it itself.

When the Cossacks were ready to rush to six hundred "paces", they fired once, and then drew their sabers and charged with iron and blood.

Mortar shells flew down from the sky again, but this time the Russians were in loose formation, and the shells injured only a limited number of people.

The distance was getting closer a little bit, and Zhirkov rushed to the place where the Ming ** team on the opposite side was a thousand "paces", and vaguely saw the soldiers on the opposite side.

The soldiers on the opposite side were standing in dense formations with a huge hollow hull formation. There was a row of people lying on their stomachs on the snow, a row of people squatting behind, and then a row of people standing.

Each had a rifle in their hands.

What puzzled Zhirkov the most was the clothes worn by these Ming soldiers.

These Ming soldiers wore a kind of clothing similar to cotton clothes, and they wrapped their bodies tightly. They also wore hats of this material on their heads and pants like this on their lower bodies.

Coat? Is padded clothing useful outdoors this season?

Zhirkov searched the ranks of Ming soldiers with his eyes, but could not see a single soldier who was frozen to death with frostbite. And those Ming soldiers with high morale showed no signs of suffering from wind and cold.

Obviously, this is completely an army that has conquered the bitter cold.

Why, why are the Ming people without fur not afraid of the cold? Zhirkov couldn't figure it out.

The Cossacks really could not understand the role of the down jacket, you must know that it is the end of January in the Gregorian calendar, and the temperature in Heilongjiang has dropped to minus 20 degrees. At night, the temperature is minus 30 degrees, and the padded jacket is completely unable to withstand such cold outdoors.

The strange situation that had never been seen before plunged Zhirkov into a brief panic. Although he was a battle-hardened Cossack, he didn't know what to do with the army in front of him.

At the critical moment, Tobinsky from the Don stepped forward. He witnessed Shishkin's death in battle, and his eyes were bloodshot. The fast horse rushed from the back to the front, and he raised the rifle in his hand and shouted: "Rush! Cossack! Rush up and hack the Ming people to death! ”

The Cossacks finally waited for a leader to come forward and muster up their fighting spirit.

The Cossacks had rifles, horses, and were about the same number as the Ming people opposite. After a round of firing on horseback, the Cossacks could also launch a cavalry charge, and it was clear that the Russians had a better chance of winning.

The cavalrymen raised their rifles and shouted: "Ula! ”

"Ulla!"

The horses' hooves rolled, stepping on a foot of deep snow, constantly raising the snow on the ground, making the whole snow seem to be boiling and rolling. Twenty thousand tall European horses rushed towards this direction, and the speed was getting faster and faster.
