The Ming army in the Great Wilderness has been moving south into the Yukon since May.

When the Ming army entered the Yukon, they were often confronted with scouts from Manchukuo. Manchukuo also actively responded to the southward movement of the Ming army, but now the weather is still cold and not suitable for large-scale military operations, and the Manchurian army did not take the initiative to go north to meet the Ming army.

What the Manchurian Army did not expect was that after the Ming army entered the Yukon Territory, it did not continue to move south, but built a defensive offensive on the spot. The Ming army learned the method of building military towns from the Russians in Siberia, and built mainly wooden and stone cities, although the scale of the city was not large, but it was strong and durable, and the construction speed was fast.

The Ming army used this method to build the city in Siberia, and now almost all the sappers of the Northern Military District will do this. Two hundred soldiers headed for Canada's Northwest Territories and Nunavut in mid-May.

Faced with the advance of the Ming army, the Manchurian army launched another attack on the Ming army in the Yukon in June. But before the Manchurian attack, the Ming army had already built three small castles.

"We should kill it, look at the time, there is still half a month, the supply ship from the mainland is about to arrive, how can we send food in then?" A Ming soldier glanced at the Manchurian military road that surrounded the city.

"There are more than 30,000 people outside, how can we kill this little force? There is enough food in the city until autumn comes, and you care about women. ”

"Everyone, don't be attacked by Jianyu. Women and food don't have to worry about it. ”

"Captain, what do you mean by that? Is there any good news? The soldier who had just spoken immediately asked.

The captain glanced at him and did not answer immediately.

"Captain, don't sell it, I've been in this place where birds don't for more than a year, and everyone is suffocating to death, and everyone is counting on a supply fleet that comes once a year."

"I heard above that the imperial court is going to set up a political envoy in Alaska. And the supply ships will be increased to once every six months. ”

"Set up a political envoy in this bird place?" The soldiers exclaimed.

"This is now the territory of the empire, and it is definitely necessary to set up a political envoy this time, don't you understand this reason?"

"What does it have to do with us to set up a political envoy department?"

"It is of great benefit to us to have time to study more and set up a political envoy department, which means that we have to emigrate here. I have heard that the supply ship that has come this time has not only brought in the dusty women, but also a thousand young women, and if there are those who are not yet married, and are willing to marry them, the governor's mansion will be the master, and they will be married to you. ”

"These thousand women must be slave girls, and they are not good families."

"Can you marry a good son?" The captain asked rhetorically.

"I don't mind if it's a slave girl, it's just that I'm already married, and it won't be my turn. San Lang, you can marry one. ”

"No, no......" Saburo saw that it was up to him, and he hurriedly waved his hand.

"Sanlang, who entered the dog, is honest and honest, you also know Sichun! Also know blushing. ”

"San Lang, if you are willing, I will help you tell you that you may not be able to find a suitable family when you retire and go home." The captain persuaded.

As soon as the captain's words fell, someone was heard shouting: "The enemy is coming!" ”

"Ready, ready for battle!" The captain ordered. The people who had just gossiped together immediately entered the battle mode.

The artillery on the city tower took the lead in firing, and the Manchurian army rushed up with siege equipment such as ladders in the face of artillery fire.

"Tiger squat cannon fire! Tiger squat cannon fire! ”

"Boom, boom......" After a few loud bangs, there was a sky full of iron. Although there were no machine guns at this time, the scattered shells of the tiger squat artillery allowed the Manchurian Army to experience the taste of a rain of bullets again.

The Manchurian army that rushed to the front fell down before it had time to react, and the Manchurian army that reacted quickly fell to the ground. In the gap when the artillery fire stopped, the lying Manchurian army stood up again and continued to rush forward. After fighting with the Ming army for so many years, although the Manchurian army has not made much progress in the manufacture of firearms, it has formed a set of its own effective methods on how to deal with firearms.

Seeing that the Manchurian army was getting closer and closer, the Ming troops on the city wall began to raise their guns and shoot.

"San Lang, did you see that Zaran of the Manchurian Army?" The captain asked.

"Hmm. It's just a bit far away, I don't know if I can hit it? Saburo glanced at the captain and found that there was a distance of about five or six hundred meters, which was far beyond the effective range, but it was within the killing distance of the Apocalypse Gun.

In the mid-19th century, the Minégne rifle could kill at a distance of up to 900 meters, and accurate hits were guaranteed within 550 meters. But the current Apocalypse Gun is far from reaching the highest level of the Minne rifle, which has a lot to do with the current firearm manufacturing process.

"Try it." The captain encouraged.

"No." San Lang took a long breath before he picked up his gun and meowed at Zalan Ezhen, the leader of the Manchurian army.

After a gunshot, Saburo didn't hit Zaran Ezhen.

"Again." The captain continued to encourage.

"No."

After Saburo loaded the ammunition, he picked up his gun and aimed it at Zalan Ezhen in the Manchurian army again. This time Saburo meowed longer, and after a gunshot, Zalan really fell in response.

"God, you've set a record." The captain slapped Saburo hard and said excitedly.

San Lang smiled innocently and said, "Captain, I don't know if I hit it?" ”

"It's definitely you." In this kind of scuffle, it is difficult to tell who really hit this Zaran, but the captain decided that it was Saburo who hit it.

……

The Manchurian army, who led the siege of the city, was hit, and the besieging Manchurian army quickly retreated. This battle lasted until the beginning of July, and in the face of the Ming army's defense, the Manchurian army was never able to attack, which made the morale of the Manchurian army extremely low. However, the ammunition consumption of the Ming army was extremely large, and at the current rate of consumption, it could only be supported until the end of the month at most.

At the beginning of July, the Ming army's supply fleet arrived in the Yukon area, and the Manchurian army did not know the reality of the supply fleet, and when such a large fleet arrived in the Yukon, they had to retreat again. But in fact, there were only 5,000 sailors in the supply fleet, and there was no army, and this time it was all bluff to scare off the Manchurian army.

The offensive of the Manchurian Army also made the Ming Army realize that it was too passive to rely on defense, but the gap between the strength of the Ming Army and the Manchurian Army was too large, and the proportion of the Manchurian Army's firearms and equipment was increasing year by year, especially the number of artillery, which increased very quickly. It is already imperative to increase the number of troops in the Great Wilderness Dongzhou. Zhu Youxiao and the Metropolitan Governor's Office once again discussed the matter of increasing troops in Dongzhou.
