The cold sky began to drift with snow again, and the undulating Outer Xing'an Mountains were like a white dragon lying across this boundless land. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

And Longshanwei is located at the foot of this snow-capped Outer Xing'an Mountains, with the mountains at its back, and the undulating hills in front of it, which is not a good battlefield for the cavalry.

If the cavalry wants to attack, it can only charge from the bottom to the top, and its work will be greatly increased, and the effect will not be obvious, on the contrary, if the cavalry defending the city rushes down, it can get twice the result with half the effort.

The Cossack cavalry did not understand this truth, but now they had to attack Longshanwei.

Because Mao Wenlong and the people of Daming were so ruthless, they almost didn't leave any means of survival for these Cossack cavalry, not to mention food and water resources, even the trees for heating were almost cut down, and the Jinguang Cossack cavalry was not afraid of the cold, but they were human beings, not iron bodies, and they would also freeze to death or starve to death.

In the Daming stronghold Longshanwei, there are all kinds of fish and meat fragrances, and you can even see a fire in the city at night, it is not that there is a fire, but that there is too much firewood stored in Longshanwei, so you have to boil hot water day and night to heat the officials and people of Longshanwei.

Yes, don't look at this Longshanwei is just a newly built small city on the border of the Ming Dynasty, but his urban construction is at the forefront of the Ming Dynasty and even the world, because he is one of the few towns in the Ming Dynasty that is equipped with a city-wide heating supply system.

The reason why there is a lot of heating is because there is a lot of wood accumulated here, and it is not burned in vain.

The city is full of fragrant chickens, ducks, fish, and warm bonfires and houses, but outside the city is barren and lonely snowfields and howling beasts.

The Cossack cavalry knew that siege warfare was the most unfavorable way to fight for him, but it also tempted him to have to fight hard to take Longshanwei, otherwise they would either starve to death here, or they could only drag their tired posture, put aside their ambition and hatred, and obediently return to the country of Rakshasa obediently.

Orknidor was clearly unwilling to let go of the southern empire, and he had learned that the only ice-free port temple street in the area was also controlled by the southern empire.

If he did not capture these two important places, his Cossack cavalry would have gained nothing more than a vast no-man's land, useless except for wild beasts and boundless snowfields.

On the contrary, one of these two important places is locked in the gate of the land of fish and rice in the south, and the other is the only outlet to the sea, and the two most important passes in Eastern Siberia, so it can be said that only waiting for these two places is equivalent to getting the whole of Eastern Siberia.

Although the scale of the city is not as good as the capital and even Shenyang, which is still in the hands of the Manchu Qing Dynasty and is called Shengjing City, the strength of the city can be described as solid, because the city body here uses the latest development of the Royal Academy of Engineering to make the bones of bamboo strips and steel bars to pour cement and gravel concrete.

The thickness is even more than half a meter, which not only ensures that the interior of Longshan is warmer than the outside world, but also ensures that such a city is easily destroyed by the enemy's artillery inadvertently.

Therefore, for the Cossack cavalry, who only had strong horses and sharp swords, it was undoubtedly extremely difficult to break through this fortified city.

……

The situation is always changing, and Daming, who originally thought that he could compromise a little interests and make the north temporarily calm for a while, never expected that it would now become a confrontation between the Cossack cavalry and Mao Wenlong's side.

At least until the weather warms up and the snow and ice have not subsided, the Cossack cavalry will no longer have the audacity to attack Longshanwei and Miaojie, although they can easily occupy more than two-thirds of the territory controlled by the Ming Dynasty, and for them, there is no substantial gain except for the expansion of their territory.

However, fortunately, in a short period of time, there will be no more large-scale wars between the two sides.

The Ming Dynasty can still focus on the south, that is, the encirclement and suppression of the Zheng pirates.

The coastal guerrilla raid tactics of the Zheng pirates did cause a lot of trouble to the Ming court, but now with the establishment of local self-protection groups such as political envoys, prefectures, prefectures, counties, and towns of the Praetorian Guard, the entire southeast coast has become an iron net that can be alerted at any time and respond at any time, and the difficulty of coastal raids and harassment has begun to increase, prompting the Zheng pirates to have to make the scale of the pirates who raid the coast larger, but the bigger the more easy it is to be discovered.

After a month of searching and reconnaissance, the Imperial Court finally discovered the assembly point of the Zheng Pirate Group on the southeast coast, and the main fleet of the three Imperial Courts immediately assembled here.

As the blockade along the coast of the Ming Dynasty became more and more strict, and the cost of guerrilla tactics began to increase, the Zheng pirate group did not dare to spend so much time with the imperial court, and had to use all its strength to fight a decisive battle with the main fleet of the imperial court.

Naval warfare is not better than land warfare, regardless of the gains and losses of a city and a pool, in this maritime era has not yet fully arrived, any fleet can find a natural harbor without a master on any land, especially as a powerful Zheng pirate group, it is not an exaggeration to describe it as a cunning rabbit.

Therefore, now that the main force of the Zheng Group can be forced, it can be regarded as half of the victory for the Ming Dynasty.

As long as the ships on which the Zheng group relied for survival and the tens of thousands of pirates who were familiar with naval warfare were all annihilated, this super pirate group that gathered in the western Pacific and seriously threatened the maritime cause of the Ming Dynasty could be completely eradicated.

Gu San Mazi was very excited at this time, as the commander-in-chief of the former enemy and the commander of hundreds of ships in the three main fleets, this was the largest naval battle he had ever commanded in his life.

So he also had to take it seriously, not to mention, his enemy at the moment was once the overlord of the sea that he didn't even dare to think of-Zheng Zhilong!

Zheng Zhilong was also looking at the fleet of the imperial court opposite, and he didn't dare to have any contempt for Gu Sanmazi, the newly rising new general of naval warfare, because his two brothers were folded in the hands of this person.

Zheng Zhilong even felt a little sorry that he hadn't seen this Gu San Mazi.

There were too many ships, the whole vast sea was crowded, the towering sails made a whirring sound under the strong wind, like ghosts and gods howling, and the seabirds tore apart and screamed, they seemed to have guessed that this place was going to become a Shura field, so they desperately wanted to get out of here.

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

Countless short flags fluttering around, countless white phosphorus bombs rushing into the sky, and sometimes the dull sound of drums are all the sounds of various orders as they are conveyed, and they pull the heartstrings tightly like the wails of ghosts.
