In a panic, Hugjiril picked up his gun, took a slight aim, and fired a shot.

It was the first one who was targeted, and the one who fell was the last one.

Hugejiril didn't know how this could happen.

But I'm going to kill one of them!

Just as they were about to fire the second shot, the Italians fired again.

Hugejiril hurriedly retracted into the crater!

This time, it was as if the Italians saw the location of Hugjiril.

The shells kept exploding not far away, and Hugjiril felt like a boat in a storm.

The body was constantly torn by the vibrations and dull air currents generated by the explosion!

Just when Hugh Jiri felt like he was about to be torn apart, the shelling stopped.

It's not that the shelling stopped!

It was the artillery fire of the Italians that was suppressed by the Ming artillery!

The battalion was 105 mm, the regiment was 120 mm, and the division reinforced the regiment with 150 mm shells, and the rain fell on the Italian artillery positions.

There was a loud explosion, and Hugjiril felt as if the earth was shaking.

Far away, thick blue-gray smoke rises.

The ammunition was detonated, and the artillery positions of the Italians were finished.

Hugjiril knew that it was the men sent down from above who had calculated the position of the enemy's artillery.

Before, Hugjiril did not believe in such a person, but now he does.

The commander of the Ming army, because of the help of the super shaman, was able to be invincible.

The artillery on both sides came and went, and the Italians quickly forgot about this unknown sniper in front of the two armies.

The artillery battle lasted for half an afternoon, and it was not until it was dark that it stopped.

Hugjiril packed up his things and crawled back the way he came.

As soon as he climbed back into the trench, Hugejiril saw Bayan's smiling face.

"I'm tired! Slowly, at eight o'clock, let's go down and rest. This time it's a big break, and I can rest for half a month. ”

"Changed guards?" Hugejirile was shocked to hear the good news and did not react for a while.

"It's a change of room!" Bayan nodded and walked away with his hands behind his back.

"It's a change of room!

Wait a minute, my wine, you can't afford ......! ”

＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊

The front was much calmer, and Li Xiao finally had time to go to Moscow with Kutuzov and Brauchitsch.

The southern front has reached the Kharkov and Aymor lines, and before the French army retreated, the bottom line destroyed the already not very smooth road.

By the way, all bridges were blown up, and all the sleepers and rails on the rails were removed.

Anyway, it's not your own, and you don't feel distressed if it blows up.

The rails and sleepers can be relaid, or they can be taken for repairs.

In short, everything on the way of the French retreat became tattered.

Recently, the sappers of the Ming army have been busy to death, and there are mines and explosives everywhere that need to be cleared.

God knows how many mines the French left behind.

The French retreated, but it took time for the Ming and Russian troops to digest these two hundred kilometers.

Li Xiao estimated that it would take three months to fight again.

Throughout the winter campaign, the southern front was in full swing, but the northern front was quiet.

The exchange of fire was nothing more than some scouts from both sides.

Li Xiao can be sure that in the spring of next year, the Allies will definitely take advantage of the numerical advantage to launch an attack on all fronts.

Not worried about the Southern Front, they have already experienced the baptism of war in the war.

But Li Xiao was really worried about the northern front, and the Prussians did not make a big move throughout the winter.

And for the sake of the battle on the southern front, the Ming army constantly drew troops south. Relative to the southern front, the forces on the northern front were mainly Russians.

What kind of combat level the Russians are, Li Xiao knows in his heart, and Kutuzov also knows in his heart.

If the Prussians attack now, it is estimated that within ten days they will be able to enter Moscow from Smolensk.

The Ming army was mobilizing troops from within the country, and also from the southern front to increase the strength of the northern front.

After beating the Israelis and making them dare not be overly arrogant, Ao Ye and Man Ye also withdrew to continue to rest and recuperate, and prepare the whole army.

What Li Xiao has to do now is to stabilize the defense line of the Northern Coalition Army in the shortest possible time.

And Kutuzov will also be appointed commander-in-chief of the Russian army on the northern front.

Because he could not send generals approved by the Ming Dynasty, Li Xiao seized the command of the Russian army very domineeringly.

The current Russian command only left Brauchitsch as a liaison officer to help the Ming army command the Russian troops.

Correspondingly, the Ming army will also be responsible for the supply of these Russian troops.

Of course, all these things need to be exchanged for Russia's interests in the Far East and Central Asia.

Another thing I did during my visit to Moscow was to discuss with Catherine the mining rights of several gold and copper mines in Central Asia.

The door of the pod slowly opened, and Li Xiao walked out of the pod and saw Empress Catherine in full costume.

Her Majesty the Empress was wearing a thick polar bear fur coat, and even the biting cold wind could not freeze Her Majesty.

"Your Excellency the Generalissimo, congratulations on your victory in the Battle of Tsaritsyn.

In the name of the Empress of Russia, I award you the Order of the Hero of Russia in memory of this great victory under your command. ”

Catherine greeted her with a smile, as if to greet her husband, who had just returned from a victory.

Looking at Catherina's Lian, which was whiter than a ghost, Li Xiao pouted helplessly.

What the hell Russian heroes, Lao Tzu is not rare.

I thought so in my heart, but I swallowed the words when they came to my mouth.

Because he saw the medal that the maid had brought him!

A golden lump weighing two catties was nothing, but the huge brick embedded in it made Li Xiao a little itchy.

A fist-sized diamond was held in the arms of the maid, and the sun shone on it like a new red sun.

Li Xiao boasts that he is also a person who has seen the world!

I've seen a big diamond, but I've never seen it that big.

It is said that the Russian royal jewels are the best in Europe, and now it seems that it really deserves its name.

If you create a medal casually, you can take out a big diamond that makes your heart flutter.

For the sake of this diamond, what the hell is a Russian hero, Li Xiao pinched his nose and recognized it.

The marching band guys started playing music, and it was pitiful.

Especially the one who blows something or something, and the snot is so cold that he doesn't dare to reach out and wipe it.

Li Xiao took the medal from Catherine, and it was estimated that there was something wrong. Not two pounds of gold, but two kilograms of gold.

Holding it in his hand a little pressing, Li Xiao handed it to Shunzi casually.

The band didn't know what music they were playing, but it was pretty ugly, especially the one who played the horn.

The old snot was blown by the cold wind, which was not much different from a plucked apple.

Li Xiao, who was dressed in a Ming army combat uniform, compared with Catherina, was like an old peasant from the countryside who went to the city.

The two of them reviewed the guard of honor together, which seemed extremely incongruous.

Russia is really a waste of talent, and the guard of honor is a tall guy over 1.9 meters in one water.

He wears a water tower hat on his head and a black military uniform.

The rifle with the bayonet was shining in the sun.

However, Li Xiao looked at the courtesy gun, and there was not even a bolt. 10 out of 10 furnishings!

What a gap!

Daming did not have a professional guard of honor, and the review was also equipped with wartime equipment.

The sun was abundant, but it was still cold.

It was easy to survive the guard of honor, and Li Xiao was already so cold that his nose was red.

Finally got into the car and sped all the way to the Kremlin.

The sedan was given to Catherine by Li Xiao and was treated as a treasure by Catherine.

However, the roads of Moscow, especially the roads paved with stones, are walked on by cars, and a feeling of Lantern Festival arises spontaneously.

In contrast, Li Xiao prefers jeeps.

This thing is not as complicated as a sedan, and the requirements for road conditions are also very low.

The car that Li Xiao gave to Ekaterina did not have air conditioning at all.

But this is not difficult for the Russian craftsmen, the ambition to flatter Her Majesty.

The wind was bitterly cold outside, but the inside of the car was as warm as spring.

Li Xiao touched the cushion, but it was still hot.

Could it be that Russia has developed a smart heating system?

If that's the case, Li Xiao doesn't mind snatching that Russian craftsman over.

Sitting on it, Li Xiao immediately understood.

The cushion underneath the butt is very hard, almost the kind of ass that is sloppy.

Lifting the mat above, I saw a layer of yellow copper underneath.

I see!

This is a copper hot water bottle, and you need to constantly heat the water into it.

It is estimated that this water was newly added at the airship landing field, and it was very hot to the touch of the copper skin.

There is a pot of boiling water sitting under the buttocks, and in a space the size of a car, of course it will be very warm.

The car finally drove into the Kremlin, and Li Xiao had been dizzy, and the feeling of motion sickness that he hadn't felt for many years was now back.

Inside the palace, the welcoming ceremony is even grander.

According to Catherina's arrangement, this was the most luxurious reception luncheon in Russia.

It was said to be a luncheon, but when the Russian nobles drank, it was endless.

It is estimated that when the luncheon ends, it will be twelve o'clock at midnight.

A good half of the day was wasted.

Li Xiao decided to talk to Catherine later, and the two of them would talk alone for two hours in the afternoon.

It's better to get down to business than to deal with those wine bags and rice bags.

I thought that Catherine would introduce herself to a young lady from the duke's family, or the sister of a count.

Unexpectedly, the first person Catherine introduced to Li Xiao at the luncheon was actually a guy wearing a black Orthodox robe and a golden cross around his neck.

As soon as the man approached, Li Xiao smelled a heavy ...... Stinks.

Yes, it smells!

The kind of smell that only comes out of a year without taking a shower!

"Your Excellency the Generalissimo, this is the Orthodox Patriarch Grigory Efimovich Rasputin."

Catherine seemed to have suddenly suffered from severe rhinitis, immune to the stench emanating from the Patriarch Rasputin.

"Hello!" Li Xiao nodded politely, and at the same time decided not to shake hands with him.

Rasputin shook a cross on his chest and said to Li Xiao: "Hello, Your Excellency Generalissimo. ”

Although this sentence is spoken in Chinese, it can be regarded as a category that Li Xiao can understand.

"Do you speak Chinese?" Li Xiao is a little strange, there are not many people in Russia who can speak Chinese.

Now Li Xiao saw that the best thing to say was Brauchitsch, who was ready to act as an interpreter at any time.

"Oh! I have been to Tibet and met the teachers there.

It was a magical and beautiful place, and they revered their gods in their own way, and I learned so much from them. ”

Rasputin speaks with the basic problem of the European people speaking Chinese, that is, the root of the tongue is hard.

Li Xiao needs to listen very hard to understand.

"Hmm!" Li Xiao nodded, he really didn't want to talk to this Rasputin anymore.

This guy has a mouth, rotten teeth and heavy bad breath, Li Xiao has to turn his head sideways to dodge.

"He's an amazing guy, you should talk to him more." Seeing Li Xiao's avoidance of Rasputdin, Catherine reminded Li Xiao in a whisper.

"What's magical?" Li Xiao looked Rasputin up and down, and he didn't seem to have anything magical except for his smell.

"My son Paul has a strange disease that bleeds in one part of his body, and he doesn't stop bleeding.

And sometimes hematema all over the body!

Rasputin used only one pair of medicines to cure him and save Paul's life. ”

Li Xiao nodded, Divine Doctor!

However, the general god stick, sometimes he will also make a cameo appearance in the role of the divine doctor.

The representative figure in China is Zhang Jiao in the late Eastern Han Dynasty.

Paul's disease, in fact, Li Xiao also knows.

This is the famous hemophilia, which is common in European royalty.

It is said that this is because they disregard the retribution of blood inbreeding between them.

Even in the 21st century, there is no good way to treat this kind of soldier.

I don't know what this magic stick used to cure Paul.

However, Li Xiao is not uncommon, and the "Da Ming Law" has clearly stipulated that close relatives cannot intermarry within five generations, and violators will migrate 3,000 miles and be confined to the army for 20 years.

Hemophilia is a high-level disease, and few people in Daming should have the opportunity to get it.

Seeing that Li Xiao still lacked interest in Rasputin, Catherine looked a little embarrassed.

"It's all right, Your Majesty!

His Excellency the Generalissimo is also a man of magical powers.

I felt that there were two souls in his body. ”

Rasputin spoke Russian, and when Catherine heard this, her face immediately changed.

Brauchitsch, behind him, was also a little stupid.

How do you let me translate that?

Li Xiao saw the expressions of the two people, and looked at the big Mingyu man he brought with him with a twisted brow.

Naturally, the Great Mingyu Man would not hide it for the Russians, and directly translated Rasputin's words.

Li Xiao listened to the translation of the tongue man, and his eyes were firmly fixed on Rasputin!

Come to think of it!

Finally remembered the name!

Just now, I just felt a little familiar, but now Li Xiao suddenly remembered this Rasputin, who is known as the Russian demon monk.

It's just that this guy appeared much earlier than normal history.
