Iron Dynasty

The faint scent of sandalwood permeates the imperial study, making one feel calm.

After a chat between monarchs and ministers, both Niu Ben and Luo Quan had no regrets in their hearts, and they were grateful for the seats Xiao Ming gave them in the military academy.

As the saying goes, once the emperor and the courtier, they, as the old ministers around Xiao Wenxuan, can now receive such an honor from the new king, and they have no regrets.

Thank you, Emperor Longen, after this battle, the ministers will surely give His Majesty a peaceful grassland. Niu Ben said firmly.

Xiao Ming nodded slightly. Today's Great Yu Kingdom is no longer the object of bullying by the Golden Horde Khanate. On the contrary, they have the ability to drive this grassland tribe out of the sphere of influence of the Great Yu Kingdom. The country is so ignorant, he can only use guns to tell them what the truth is.

After finalizing the plan for Niu Ben and Luo Quan to attack the Golden Horde, the three discussed some specific details before ending the conversation.

For Xiao Ming, now it is only necessary to give the general strategic direction, and the specific battle still needs to be played by Luo Quan himself.

Of course, he is also responsible for the issue of firearms and ammunition. After all, this attack on the Golden Horde will use a lot of Han-style rifles and guard artillery.

In his supply to Zhu Sansi this time, he also prepared 6,000 Han-style rifles and 16 guard artillery pieces. It is still difficult for Zhu Sansi to break the situation and rely on the supply of food.

After all, this siege of Yaksa was a linkage between Tsarist Russia and the Golden Horde. Before Niuben and Luo Quan attacked, he had to solve this thorny problem.

February 16.

After a month of preparation, a steam locomotive loaded with 1,000 sleds, 6,000 Han-style rifles, 16 guard artillery pieces, 300,000 rounds of metal bullets, and 1,000 rounds of cannonballs set off from Qingzhou to Jianzhou , After a day and a night of driving, the supplies arrived in Jianzhou smoothly.

Tsk tsk, these sleds are really nice.

Looking at the sleds exposed in the carriage, Zhang Qinian said in admiration that the skeletons of these sleds are made of steel, and the main body is covered with thick wooden boards, which are very durable at first glance.

Head of the regiment, what are these sleds, these are real guys. When Zhang Qinian sighed, the soldiers under his command sighed.

When he came back to his senses, Zhang Qinian saw that the soldiers carrying the sleigh were standing around in the corner of the carriage, and they were still playing with Han-style rifles. Don't let me out yet.

He is the division commander of the first division of Qi Guangyi's cavalry regiment.

They had been waiting here for three days before the train arrived, and today the supplies finally arrived.

After being scolded by Zhang Qinian, the soldiers carried the sled down from the carriage, and he went straight to the corner of the carriage.

In fact, it wasn't just the soldiers who were curious, his division commander was also very curious about the supplies to Zhu Sansi. After all, the Han-style rifles were only prepared for the army in a small amount, and they were even rarer as cavalry.

so much!

After seeing the Han-style rifle in the corner, Zhang Qinian was shocked and said that there were hundreds of wooden boxes containing the Han-style rifle, but this was only one of his amazed wishes.

Because after the Han-style rifle, he saw boxes of metal bullets and shells, so many metal bullets were enough to shock him.

These bullets are all silver. The head of the regiment beside Zhang Qinian said enviously and painfully. Compared with the paper shell bullet, he could imagine the cost of this kind of bullet just by looking at it.

However, relatively speaking, this kind of bullet completely solves the problem of air leakage of the breech gun, which can make the Han-style rifle exert more powerful power.

Compared with the Falcon rifle, the Han-style plus metal bullets can also be more suitable for winter.

When our cavalry can also be equipped with Han-style rifles and use Han-style rifles to fight barbarians on a horse, I'm excited to think about it. Another regiment commander envied.

Yes, division commander, this time we must ask Commander Qi to apply to the Military Machinery Department. Now all the soldiers in the Great Yu Kingdom have renovated their equipment, but our cavalry has not moved yet. Another regiment commander said.

Zhang Qinian licked his lips, these weapons really made his eyes hot, and he said: Don't forget what the commander said when you came, asking for the battle before the battle, this is not the style of our army, we want to be equipped with Han-style rifles. Form Lancers, this time we have to fight this support war, otherwise how can the commander have the face to ask the military machine department for guns.

The officers' faces suddenly became serious, and they said in unison; Don't worry, Commander, we will not embarrass the Legion.

Zhang Qinian nodded, Let the soldiers unload the goods quickly, and we will set off tomorrow.

One day of preparation, the next day, Zhang Qinian personally led the cavalry to advance towards Yaksa, and they brought extra horses specially for this batch of supplies.

These horses trudge through the snow dragging sleds full of supplies. Compared to the embarrassment of getting caught in the snow before, the fast sliding of the sleds on the snow makes transportation easier.

...

Jaxa.

After struggling to repel a wave of slave soldiers from the Golden Horde, Zhu Sansi stood on the city wall and continued to observe the enemy.

It has been nearly three months since the war report that the supply was cut off by the Golden Horde was sent. In the face of the attack of the Golden Horde and the Russian soldiers, they almost consumed all the ammunition reserves a month ago.

In the past month, they have completely returned to the era of cold weapons, and they can only use bayonets to repel the enemy's attacks again and again.

But this situation was broken with the arrival of Tsarist Russian reinforcements from Kunesk. After the occupation of Yaksa, Kunesk, who reacted, sent an army of 1,000 people to arrive after collaborating with the Golden Horde. Under the city of Jaxa.

The army carried flintlocks and artillery, and when they lost their ammunition, they were tortured by the Russian firearms.

Senior Commander, if we don't have ammunition supplies, we really can't hold on anymore. The soldiers are injured without medicine, and it's very cold here. The original minor injury has turned into a fatal injury here. Gao Yingfeng's face was white and black. piece.

During the battle, the Tsarist Russia used lime bombs. Fortunately, they had received training in this area, so the defense was timely, but even so, some soldiers were injured in the eyes.

Zhu Sansi's face was as deep as water, and he said, Before you came here, you and I had planned to encounter the worst situation. Now is the most difficult time. The Tsarist Russians still have to defend the city they occupied by death. How can the defending army of the Great Yu Kingdom say bitterness easily, even if we fight with our bare hands in this battle, we have to fight the country's prestige!

Gao Yingfeng scratched his head anxiously, and he said, If you want to die, let me die here, Commander, you can't stay here, there is still the last bit of ammunition left, this is reserved for you to break through by the officer, you can't wait any longer!

PS: I just came back tonight, and I rushed out a chapter, and I will make up for it tomorrow.
