The two days were actually rest, and the hundreds of Cossacks who were blocked in the earthen fort were meat on the board for Zhou Huchen.

It is said that it is a castle, but in fact, the Cossacks built a huge earthen enclosure of a civil structure, and as for the situation inside, it is not visible from the outside. In Zhou Huchen's clairvoyant mirror, this soil circumference is very high

, also thick. Before this earthen enclosure, there was a very deep trench, the distance of which was very well controlled, and the outer edge should be within the range of the musket.

And before the earthen enclosure, there are two more giant logs that have been erected, and in the middle of the giant trees there is a large plank, this big plank is very long, and it should be the simplest wooden suspension bridge. The earth fort makes good use of the terrain, just surrounded by mountains on three sides, only this side can be attacked, not to mention that there are muskets, even if it is defended with bows and arrows, it is difficult to be breached. It seems that these Cossacks were well prepared in order to occupy this land for a long time.

There are many people on the soil fence, and Zhou Huchen saw these high-nosed and deep-eyed people for the first time in this world.

The appearance of the Cossack was not much different in Zhou Huchen's eyes, and there was nothing strange about it, and it was not different from the original impression in his heart. These Cossacks all wore a kind of small pointed felt hat, this brown hat and clothes Zhou Huchen also had some impressions, because he remembered seeing a similar image, which was supposed to be a traditional costume.

The musket used by the Cossacks was also seen, and the musket should be the arquebus commonly used by Europeans, which is similar to the Lumi gun, with a thick barrel and a similar range.

There's no need to be polite, and I don't have the heart to test the fire with them. Just kill it.

Zhou Huchen waved his hand, and hundreds of gunners immediately began to prepare.

"Sure enough, it's almost the same as a Rakshasa ghost, otherwise how would it be called a Rakshasa person, it seems that there are not only those people in the world, Heiyi, but also such Rakshasa people, all kinds of Yi people seem to have it, and today is a long experience!" With the excitement, Zheng Sen on the side was unwilling to be lonely, which could be regarded as enlivening the atmosphere.

There is a big difference between white Eastern European people and white Western Europeans, and Zheng Sen should have met white Westerners. But overall. The Ming people couldn't tell who was of which race. The Ming people consider themselves to be the center of the world, and these foreigners, that is, Yidi, are all included.

Zhou Huchen didn't bother to explain to Zheng Sen, he smiled and said: "These Rakshasa people kill people without blinking, it's useless to keep them. I don't want to be taken prisoner. Or brother, you're going to have a good time. You're going to command the gunners to take out these rakshasas? ”

"Good! All right! Zheng Sen hurriedly agreed, he didn't expect this kind of opportunity, he had dreamed of commanding gunner Zheng Sen for a long time. Unexpectedly, Zhou Huchen, who was extremely strict with the army, would give such an opportunity.

By this time, the mortars had already approached the earthen fort and began to set it up, more than a mile away. At this distance, the Cossacks had to wait to die.

One of Zhou Huchen's own soldiers ran over and presented Zheng Sen with a triangular command flag, Zheng Sen had seen many mortar shots, and he knew the procedure. After receiving the command flag, Zheng Sen clenched his fists and arched his hand: "Qi Qi Marshal, the gunner is ready, please show the Marshal!" ”

"Fuck it!" Zheng Sen looks decent, but unfortunately Zhou Huchen is not presentable.

It's too foul-mouthed! The sound silenced the surroundings.

"him, him! I'm going to fuck him! "Since the coach doesn't care, what does he care about, this is much more pleasant than a serious book, and Zheng Sen, a serious reader, can be regarded as rude.

The Cossacks did not have artillery to fight back, today was actually a performance, and Zhou Huchen did it on purpose.

Forty or fifty artillery pieces were placed, and the ammunition transported from thousands of miles was very precious, and Zhou Huchen said that it was to level this earthen fort, but in fact it was just a description, and it was most valuable to kill these invaders. As for leveling this earth-breaking fort, Zhou Huchen didn't dare to be so extravagant.

Burst into foul language, got off the horse, and Zheng Sen trotted with a small pennant.

At this time, the Cossacks on the earthen fence began to raise their loaded muskets with trepidation. The nervousness is not only because of these artillery, but also because of Zhou Huchen's endless army. Don't expect these sparsely populated Eastern Europeans to see such a large military formation. When the Cossacks invaded the Siberian Khanate, they initially entered the territory of Siberia with less than a thousand troops, and 200,000 had never seen them, and of course, this was the last time they saw such a large army in their lives.

I was worried because I knew that I was going to die, and the 200,000 cavalry didn't say that I saw it, but I was afraid that these Eastern Europeans couldn't imagine it.

The Europeans of this era do not pay attention to any etiquette, let alone international law, strong is the truth, as long as you are strong, you can plunder, to slaughter those weak nations or countries, to occupy their land, to enslave and oppress the people of those conquered lands.

There is no justice in this kind of slaughter, only profit.

Cossacks were born to fight, and the word Cossack means "free man" or "brave man". These people were originally fugitives and exiled criminals, plus proletarians fleeing famine. Cossack is not an ethnic designation, he is a nomadic community living in the steppes of Eastern Europe. This group lived in the sparsely populated southern part of Eastern Europe, and as Eastern Europe grew, these Cossacks who lived on the tip of the knife became the objects of bribery by the Tsarist regime, and then became the brave pioneers of the Tsarist government.

Do not doubt the bravery of the Cossacks, these brave Eastern Europeans were the craziest fighters and, at the same time, killing machines.

Zhou Huchen will not keep them, this is not because their hearts are not different from my race, but because of the difference in their life philosophy. Cossacks are synonymous with freedom, with killing, and at the same time with betrayal. Zhou Huchen knew their future history, betrayal was commonplace for them, and the brutal atrocities were too numerous to mention, and keeping them was tantamount to disaster, and it was better to be happy than one size fits all.

It was rare to be chic, Zheng Sen ran to the right side of the artillery team decently, and then it was a standard upright posture.

The gunners were actually ready, just waiting for the order, took a long breath of Siberian air, and felt good, Zheng Sen's pennant was raised high: "Covering five rounds of continuous shelling ~ Ready!" ”

Five rounds of shelling of about fifty mortars are two hundred and fifty shells, but unfortunately, the shells prepared by Zhou Huchen for these gatekeepers are not enough at all, Zheng Sen's order was issued, and an artillery team not far away next to him immediately reminded Zheng Sen: "My lord, there are not enough shells!" ”

"How many did you bring?" Zheng Sen asked with some frustration:

"Back to my lord, each mortar is equipped with three shells."

One hundred and fifty shells covering this small earthen fort is also tantamount to slaughter, although Zheng Sen is a little dissatisfied with Zhou Huchen's stinginess, but the first time he has such an opportunity to show, he will not be embarrassed, lest Zhou Huchen change his mind, he decisively dropped his command flag.

"Covered three rounds of continuous artillery shelling ~ artillery fire!"

The gunner's projectile was gently inserted, and there was a huge earthquake on the ground, and for the first time in Siberia, the sound of artillery sounded

Did Tsarist Russia bring artillery to Siberia? Zhou Huchen didn't know, but he knew that his artillery began to roar in Siberia for the first time. This roar represents the conquest and the beginning of a new era in Siberia.
