The death of the Marsack cavalry nobleman Batloskiv was eventually known to the Cossack cavalry who had traveled all the way to Eastern Siberia. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Not surprisingly, they were outraged by Batloskiv's death, and they clamored to kill all the Han Chinese and teach the Ming the worst lesson.

But what they didn't expect was that Mao Wenlong, as the chief officer of Daming Temple Street, had already let the Third Brigade of the First Army of the Praetorian Guard Army take the lead in attacking these Cossack cavalry.

Mao Wenlong's Cossack cavalry was fierce in combat, and he also knew that with the strength of his Ming army in the area of Temple Street and Wai Xing'an Mountains, it was not enough to match this strong cavalry that had swept the whole of Eurasia.

But since he had already shot Batloskyv, one of the leaders of the Massack cavalry, because he insisted on abiding by the principles of the Ming army and won the hearts of the people of the Ming Dynasty in the whole area, and his Ming army had to fight with the Cossack cavalry, then why did he sit back and wait for the Cossack cavalry to fight him. 、

Since we are going to fight, we will take the lead and seize the opportunity, and we can't lose the upper hand before we fight.

Therefore, Mao Wenlong, as the chief military officer, immediately organized troops and formed a militia team to concentrate a large number of people on Longshan Weihe Temple Street, and at the same time, let Zhu Guozheng lead the only mobile cavalry of the Ming Dynasty that is now here, that is, the Third Brigade of the Janissary Cavalry, to attack the Cossack cavalry in East Siberia first, so as to delay the advance of the Cossack cavalry as much as possible, and at the same time win more time for Mao Wenlong's side to further strengthen the wall and clear the field and consolidate the city defense.

It's almost October, and there is already snow in Eastern Siberia, and the temperature is extremely low, almost to the point that the air has turned into ice.

For the Cossack cavalry, who fought in this cold environment all year round, it was nothing, and the thickness of their fat was already stronger than that of the Ming army, which grew up with fine grain instead of a lot of meat.

Therefore, the cold is nothing to them, and with this kind of snowy field, even at night, the vision is excellent, and they do not avoid being attacked by sneak attacks, so they would not expect that other cavalry would dare to attack them.

They didn't even think that any other cavalry would dare to go deep into such a cold place at this time, so they didn't care about defense, and they didn't even have the word defense in their minds.

They are the most vicious wolves in the Siberian Plain, they belong to the offensive wolves, and there is no reason to defend.

But now it's the Praetorian Guards who want to attack them!

But these Cossack cavalry still think that the Ming army is waiting for them to fight, this is the European army, no matter how fierce the combat effectiveness, how advanced the weapon, but the tactics are always not so flexible, for the Chinese Empire, which has experienced thousands of years of war, 100,000 people have experienced countless battles, and there are countless examples of winning more battles with less written into the textbooks, and thus forming a kind of learning, the soldiers are never tired of deceit. 、

Soldiers, treacherous!

Now, Mao Wenlong and Zhu Guozheng, two generals who are not very strong in Chinese history, will teach these arrogant European reckless men a lesson!

Although it is extremely cold in this area now, the Ming Janissaries, especially the Third Brigade, have received cold training in these aspects, and they wear special cold-proof uniforms made by the Royal Weaving Bureau, and even the horses have also undergone severe cold training, and now they are also put on a light but airtight wrap that is easy to increase the warmth.

In addition, both men and horses wore special non-slip shoes, which could be removed and turned into sleds at any time, and once they were done, they were directly changed to sleds to slide through the snow and march rapidly, and snow chains were added to the carriages loaded with artillery and other heavy weapons and baggage.

As the third brigade of the cavalry of the Praetorian Guard, Zhu Guozheng did not care about pulling out the ice slag pasted on his beard at this time, and his mouth was full of white gas, and he took advantage of the reflection of the snow to seriously observe the Cossack cavalry in front of him who were drinking strong wine and shouting with wolf legs, and observed the direction of the wind.

After determining the direction of the wind and turning to the Cossack cavalry, Zhu Guozheng immediately waved his hand: "Fire!" ”

Because the Ming Emperor Zhu Youxiao was born in medicine, and the foundation of medicine is biology and chemistry, so now the fastest development in the field of scientific research in the Ming Dynasty is biochemistry, because for biochemistry, Zhu Youxiao is not only to provide information and provide theoretical explanations.

Therefore, now the army of the Ming Dynasty likes to give the enemy a biochemical greeting gift every time it goes to war, especially after the conquest of the Horqin and Khalkha battles, this method is tried and tested.

Of course, biological and chemical weapons, the best is to directly drop virulent viruses, such as plague virus and Vibrio cholerae, which can kill tens of millions of mass killers at one time.

And Zhu Youxiao is also good at this, and his doctoral direction is infectious disease and virology.

But now in Daming, Zhu Youxiao doesn't dare to play this, and he can't play this, once this virus is not properly protected in the laboratory or causes a leak, it will cause a biochemical catastrophe that no dynasty can resist.

The rampant virus is not a solution to the famine by building dikes.

Therefore, now the Ming army can only play with primary biological and chemical weapons, that is, some very pungent odors or toxic gases are thrown to the enemy first, so that the enemy wants to die for a while, and when it has no combat effectiveness or serious decline in combat effectiveness, launching an attack will often cause twice the result with half the effort, and in this case, not to mention that your Cossacks are not much taller than the Ming army that has not been genetically declined due to hundreds of years of sweet potatoes and potatoes, even if it is really several times taller, it will be slaughtered at will like a fat pig!

Of course, the production, transportation, storage, and delivery of poison gas are all difficult problems, especially in this area, once the wind direction is not right, it is easy to let the poison gas drift into their own camp, and there is the opposite effect of not causing the enemy to be drowsy but making themselves drowsy.

In addition, many poisonous gases are extremely dangerous to produce and it is difficult to achieve the highest lethality of high-concentration pure hydrogen sulfide or hydrogen chloride and other gases, so the Ming army is equipped with very few such weapons, and the Ming Dynasty is not a conventional weapon at this time.

Even in the Praetorian Guard, only the brigade and above have such weapons disposed, and there is a battalion-level unit with professional and technical personnel who are responsible for the transport, storage, and delivery of poison gas in the brigade.

If it weren't for the fact that this poison gas was not a conventional weapon, Mao Wenlong would not have had to negotiate with the Cossack cavalry first, because as long as the poison gas could be dropped on a large scale, coupled with more advanced muskets and artillery, not to mention that you were a Cossack cavalry, even the Mongol iron hooves in the heyday could not resist it.

However, now the Royal Academy of Engineering has made great improvements to the delivery process of hydrogen sulfide gas bombs, at least there is no need to use dead soldiers to rush into the gas bag, just like a suicide attack, and there is no need to drop it in the air, which can easily cause the effect of poison gas to be greatly reduced, and it is only suitable for the high-density formation formed when large-scale cavalry rushes to kill.

Now, the poison gas bomb research group of the Royal Academy of Engineering uses the principle of the thermal reaction of dilute sulfuric acid and ferrous sulfide and the joint artillery shell research group to create this reaction system with sulfuric acid and ferrous sulfide as the main components after half a year of research, and the dilute sulfuric acid will be exothermic under the dilution of water, and thus promote the rapid reaction of ferrous sulfate and dilute sulfuric acid to produce a large amount of hydrogen sulfide gas.

But now Daming's process is not so powerful, sometimes mixed with dilute hydrochloric acid, fortunately, the hydrogen chloride gas produced is also extremely irritating.

Using the principle of cupola, after a few cannon shots, countless poison gas bombs fell in a parabolic way in the Cossack cavalry battalion, and they did not know what it was and did not cause alarm for this thing that carried sparks but did not explode but fell to the ground and was jetting.

Some Cossack cavalrymen were even very curious to pick up this exquisite-looking bullet case, but they also dared to be dizzy because of the instant inhalation of a large amount of poisonous gas, and some Cossack cavalry directly felt very choked and kept sneezing.

Some Cossack cavalrymen also realized that it was the evil spirit of the Ming army that had thrown themselves a few days ago, and they were busy pulling out their swords to fight across their horses, but they found that they were so weak that they couldn't even get on their horses.

And the horse had no strength, and in tears, he fell to the ground.

"Attack!"

Suddenly the wind changed, and the poisonous gas was almost blown away, and most of these Cossack cavalry were still unconscious or unconscious, two battalions of the third brigade of the Janissary cavalry killed from the left and right flanks, and they did not shoot with muskets, but rushed in and picked up knives and slashed, like chopping melons and vegetables, and they could cut as many as they could, and it was their purpose to cause as many casualties as possible to the Cossack cavalry before being discovered and surrounded by most of the main forces of the other Cossack cavalry, and not to use muskets was also to save ammunition, What's more, in this extreme cold, especially at night, how can it be more convenient to use a gun than to use a knife.

Jiao Lian also followed Zhu Guozheng to Eastern Siberia, and this time he was also holding a bloody knife to cut at the head of a Cossack cavalryman.

This Cossack cavalry was very depressed, in his opinion, Rao was before him, such a short man, he could kill four or five at a time, but now he doesn't know what kind of demon magic this Ming army has cast, he actually let his feet be soft and weak, and he has no strength at all, so that he can only watch the cold blade slash towards his neck, and he doesn't even have the strength to open his mouth to beg.

This was only a part of the main force of the Cossack cavalry that went out to Eastern Siberia this time, plus it was night, and while its defense was not tight, the 3rd Janissary Cavalry Brigade was able to successfully sneak attack, if it was daylight, or the Cossack cavalry could have a little alertness, the 3rd Janissary Cavalry Brigade would not be so easy.

Anyway, the initiative of the third brigade of the Praetorian Guard cavalry did cause great trouble to the Cossack cavalry clamoring for a bloody sweep of Daming Temple Street, after the sudden mass attrition again and again, even the Cossack cavalry, which was dumber than a pig, began to have to pay attention to its Ming army, and also had to take the Ming army seriously as their fierce enemy, even if they didn't take the Ming army seriously, they had to pay attention to the Ming army's side of the magic that could make them become idiots in an instant.

"What kind of people are those people in the empire called Daming, could they all be devils, they can use such strange witchcraft, if they are caught, they should be burned directly!"

Looking at the countless headless corpses of his fellow Cossacks scattered across the endless snowy fields and the blood scabs that had congealed into lumps and glittered in the sun, the Supreme Commander of the Cossack cavalry, Oknido, could not help but fall into deep thought, he had been furious at the death of his brother Batloskiv and had sworn to kill all the people of the Ming Empire, and now he had to admit that the empire from the south was a strange country, and it did not seem to be easy to mess with.

However, whether it was easy to provoke or not, Oknidor felt that he had to provoke it, and although these Ming troops were not simple, as a warrior of the Cossack cavalry, they should not be afraid of any enemy.

At the same time that Orknidor ordered the troops to strengthen their security and not allow them to leave the main force at will, he also began to learn to send sentry horses to further afield to probe the truth, and at the same time slowed down the speed of the march, and did not dare to advance rashly, because now these elusive Ming troops brought him too much shock, and he had to be careful, so as not to encounter more strange surreal elements when the time came.

Therefore, Mao Wenlong was able to calmly carry out a strategic transfer here, and almost all important materials and production workshops were moved to Temple Street by him, because Temple Street was originally an island surrounded by the sea, and it was an important place that was easy to defend and difficult to attack, as long as these Cossack cavalry did not have a navy, it would be difficult to occupy Temple Street.

By the time the main force of the Cossack cavalry of Oknido arrived at the first market town built by the Ming Dynasty, the market town had long been empty, and there was not even a single house left for these Cossack cavalry.

The thrifty and thrifty people of the Ming Dynasty were very active in making decisions for the people of the Ming Dynasty, so they cooperated very much with the general military government's policy of clearing the wilderness, and did not even leave a single piece of firewood, brick or tile to these Cossack cavalry.

As a result, he had to enter these market towns to plunder and replenish the hunger and fatigue caused by years of marching hundreds of miles, and now he had to find his own food, find his own firewood for heating, and build his own houses for temporary rest.

In this kind of weather, no one dares to spend the night outside, the temperature difference between day and night is too great, sleeping outside may be directly frozen to death, even during the march have to carry a match at any time.

But the Cossack cavalry did not have this awareness, because their logistics had always been based on the grassroots peasants, but now without the peasants, they can only rely on themselves.

Moreover, the third brigade of the cavalry of the Praetorian Guard is still attacking them, which makes these Cossack cavalry very tired now, and they must be careful of the enemy's sneak attack at night, and they have to look for food during the day.

However, the Ming army was already fully prepared, in order to keep Longshanwei and Miaojie, the two business centers that had been run with great difficulty, Mao Wenlong ordered all the meat to be taken out to supply the army soldiers, and at the same time recruited a large number of militiamen, and quickly trained, so that in a short period of time, the number of soldiers in the entire Waixinganling and Temple Street area has increased to nearly 100,000, although most of them are militias who have not killed anyone.

But at best, it can be regarded as the greatest national strength of the Ming Dynasty here, and all of it has been excavated.
