For more than a month, there were occasionally stupid Jurchens or other tribesmen, only when this stronghold was still in the hands of the Jurchens, driving cattle and sheep or carrying prey, wanting to come in and escape the winter. Therefore, Andrey was not surprised by the presence of Jurchens.

Therefore, he did not hesitate to order: "Let the Cossacks be ready, our cellars still need to be replenished with some meat for the winter, and if they don't want to starve in this winter, don't let those Jurchens escape!" ”

The Cossacks cheered and got on their horses, and then swarmed out, and Andreyrov, himself too lazy to charge again, climbed the watchtower and looked to the west.

The stronghold has only one gate, which opens to the southeast, to avoid strong winds from the northwest and to protect the stronghold. Therefore, the Jurchens who came from the west, who may not have noticed the movement in the stronghold, drove their horses one by one and trudged through knee-deep snow to this side. They drove a lot of horses, more than a dozen, and the horses were all hunched with bulging backpacks, which looked like they had gained a lot.

Andreyrov grinned at this.

If all the camels are food, then this winter, their food problem can be solved.

Andreyrov watched as the Cossacks rushed out of the walls, and then they went around the stronghold and rushed towards the Jurchens. The Jurchens, realizing that something was wrong, immediately turned around, their horses scattered and fled, while they themselves turned around and ran.

The Cossacks, not worried that the horses would run away, all shouted and chased after the Jurchens, and Andrey watched them disappear behind the distant woods. He grinned.

But after only ten minutes, Andreyrov's smile froze.

The fierce sound of muskets came from afar, in the direction of the Cossacks pursuing the Jurchens, and the muskets were so dense that at least Andrerov had never heard such a dense musket sound!

Knowing that the situation was not good, he immediately shouted, "Close the door, and everyone enter the fortifications." Ready, artillery, artillery! ”

To have such a dense range of muskets. Then there were at least a thousand enemies - Andreirov couldn't help but remember the desperate curses of the Jurchen captives before they were killed, when they said "Wait, Yu Hu will come and crush you with his army of firearms".

Right now. That "Yu Hu" is here.

Andrey Rov didn't know that the "Yu Hu" in the Jurchen mouth was a nickname for Yu Guozhen that they did not dare to call Yu Guozhen by name. But he knew what a terrible beast the "tiger" was in the cold forests of the Far East.

Soon, he knew what a terrible beast it was, and the gunfire lasted less than ten minutes, followed by a deathly silence. Then Andrerov saw several horses dragging sleds and making their way to the stronghold with difficulty.

On top of the sleigh, there were piles of heads.

The Huaxia army cut off the enemy's head to build a Beijing view, this kind of thing is probably a tradition. And in the Northern Army, this tradition was taken to the extreme. Wang Haoran, the governor of the Northern Army, has a nickname "King of All Killings", although he was born as a literati, he cut off his head more neatly than Tian Boguang and Qi Niu, under this influence. How can the Northern Army be merciful!

These dozens of heads, of course, belonged to the Cossacks who had just been pursuing, and after Andreirov, who was standing on the watchtower, saw clearly from the telescope, the telescope in his hand almost fell.

In so much time, dozens of fierce Cossacks were completely annihilated, and in Andreyrov's memory, even Europa did not have such a powerful army!

The other party must be numerous, maybe even tens of thousands, I heard that the population of the Huaxia Kingdom in the east was originally large, and their emperor sent tens of thousands of soldiers, just as the tsar sent thousands of people.

"Set up the cannon, set up the cannon!" Andrerov shouted in panic, although he had given this order once before, but now, he was just shouting desperately, hoping to make some noise to embolden himself.

The more murderous they are, the more cowardly they are, and they often use their ferocity to disguise their cowardice.

After a few more moments, Andrerov saw a figure appearing at the edge of the woods.

These figures, dressed in uniform white and gray, are hard to distinguish from their surroundings without looking closely. They were also slow in the snow, and stopped as soon as they left the forest. Andreyrov was a little calm at this time, because the number of enemies he saw was not large, only more than thirty.

The thirty or so enemies came out in great shape, and then began to stop about a kilometer from the stronghold, and they began to set up shelves, apparently preparing to use a weapon similar to artillery.

Andreyrov was not quite convinced of the use of the four artillery-like weapons erected by the other side, because in his philosophy, such a short cannon should have a close range, and the power of the shells would not be great.

"These rakshasa ghosts are easier to deal with than originally thought, we are still too cautious." A soldier in the Huaxia army under the city said with a smile.

"What nonsense, we are relying on being prepared to fight unprepared, we all have seven days of ammunition on us, if we really fight a protracted war here, what can we say about supplies? Especially after a few days, it will be so cold that even the birds dare not take it out to pee, how can there be a war at that time? Yu Xiang scolded with a smile: "Let's take advantage, Hugh wants to make an inch, with this battle to the bottom, what will be the battle in the future, are you afraid that you will not use us?" ”

"Company commander, you are steady, step by step, no wonder you can be a company commander."

"Let's make a fool of myself after this fight!"

Yu Xiang's tone was a little arrogant, but he was still quite cautious, he raised his head and looked at the opponent's stronghold, if the opponent's troops were sufficient, he should open the door at this time, and not let him have the opportunity to use mortars, but now the opponent's Cossack cavalry was almost completely annihilated, only some infantry remained, and opening the door was to send him to death.

Of course, if you don't open the door, you will die.

Thinking of this, a smile appeared on Yu Xiang's face: When his father knew the news, he would definitely praise him, but he couldn't let his mother know, otherwise she would cry again.

Huaxia's weapons development work has never been relaxed, and because of Yu Guozhen's foresight, he has always been able to provide the clearest guidance on the direction of the development of weapons. At present, the small infantry units of the Huaxia Army have abandoned the bulky field artillery of the past and have replaced it with lighter mortars, and only the main force will be equipped with heavy artillery.

Even mortars, for the Rakshasas, have an overwhelming advantage.

The four mortars were fired at the same time, and in the blink of an eye, the simple fortifications of the Rakshasa people became a piece of debris, and the Rakshasa people who were still probing their brains on the fortifications just now turned into meat sauce.

"How many shells did we bring?" Yu Xiang saw that the first round of shooting was hit, and his heart was very happy.

"A total of two cardinal shells."

"After the fight, the shells are not worth the lives of our brothers."

"The company commander is right!" His subordinates all looked at him with admiration, although this company commander was young, he acted generously, two base shells, said to knock them out, and if he changed to another company commander, he would probably feel that one base number was enough.

They didn't know that Yu Xiang was Yu Guozhen's son, and money was not a problem at all in his mind.

After the mortar shells of the two bases were fired, there was hardly anything decent left in the entire stronghold. Yu Xiang looked at it for a while, and finally saw a Rakshasa man who was still moving, and he pointed at the other party without hesitation: "Did you see it, kill him." ”

More than a dozen gunshots rang out, and the Rakshasa man suddenly stopped moving.

"Company commander, shall we go up?" Someone said again.

Yu Xiang looked up at the sky: "Okay, I have to stay here tonight, clean up the battlefield early and clean it up." ”

However, cleaning the battlefield was not as easy as he thought, with the help of the broken walls, the Rakshasa people resisted stubbornly, and after entering the stronghold, almost every distance they advanced, they would face the cold bullet fire of the Rakshasas, and the Huaxia army also suffered casualties here.

This made Yu Xiang very unhappy, and he originally wanted to win a full game.

The resistance of the Rakshasa people aroused Yu Xiang's anger, and he didn't care about the ammunition even more, and it took more than ten minutes to kill the last Rakshasa who was resisting, and then he calmed down.

"Bad thing, I originally wanted to capture a few prisoners...... If there is still anyone alive, brothers, look at it, and if there is a living person, don't kill it again. ”

"I don't know, let's search it, maybe there's still one in any corner."

"Company commander, you are not the only one who killed the faint, and our brothers sacrificed six, these Rakshasa ghosts are dead, and it is not enough to give our brothers their lives."

Despite the sacrifices, the subordinates were generally very happy, it was a great victory, and they won the battle against a comparable number of opponents, and their own casualties were limited. Yu Xiang didn't get a perfect ending, and he was still a little uncomfortable in his heart, but he could only comfort himself with his father's words: "In the world, you must be prepared to work hard, bloom nine points of flowers, bear eight points of fruit, and reap seven points of fruit." ”

There were no living Rakshasas out there, so I had to go to the crumbling houses to see. Yu Xiang regretted it a little, maybe he shouldn't have done it so thoroughly, at least he had to leave a few rooms to block the north wind for everyone tonight.

Andreyrov huddled in a room, the gun in his hand had long since been thrown away, a Gossack saber was his only weapon, and he calmed himself down while staring at the Chinese man who was slowly walking by.

Judging by the attitude of the people around him, this young Chinese man should be the commander of this army, and he seemed to be a little absent-minded, and Andrerov felt that he might have a chance to hold him hostage.

Even if you can't get out and kill this guy, it can be regarded as dissipating the anger in your heart.

The distance between the two sides was getting closer and closer, and the Chinese officer seemed to want to enter this room, and the two sides were only separated by a door. Andreirov raised the saber, although there was no momentum on the horse, but Andrerov believed that as long as he stabbed it, the head of the Chinese man would be separated from the body.

Yu Xiang stopped in front of the door, he squinted, this is his father's habit, when thinking about things, it will be like this. (To be continued)
