The faint smell of sandalwood permeates the imperial study, making people feel at tranquility.

After a chat between the king and his subjects, Niu Ben and Luo Quan had no regrets in their hearts, and they were grateful for the seat Xiao Ming left them in the military academy.

As the saying goes, once the emperor and once the ministers, they are now completely regretful that they can now win such an honor in this new king.

"Thank you for your kindness, after this battle, I will definitely give Your Majesty a peaceful grassland." Niu Ben said firmly.

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

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

For Xiao Ming, now he only needs to give a general strategic direction, and the specific battle still needs Niu Benhegeluoquan to play it himself.

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

In his supply to Zhu Sansi this time, he also prepared 6,000 Han-style rifles and sixteen guard artillery. It was still difficult to make Zhu Sansi break the deadlock, relying on food supply tightly.

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

February 16th.

After a month of preparation, a steam locomotive carrying one thousand sleds, six thousand Chinese rifles, sixteen guard artillery, three hundred thousand metal bullets, and one thousand shells set off from Qingzhou to Jianzhou. After a day and a night of driving, the supplies arrived in Jianzhou smoothly.

"Tsk, these sleds are really good."

Zhang Qinian admired the sleds exposed in the carriage. The sleds were made of steel and the main body was covered with thick wooden boards, which looked very durable.

"Captain, what are these sleds? These are the real guys." When Zhang Qinian sighed, his soldiers sighed.

After coming back to his senses, Zhang Qinian saw the soldiers carrying sleds unable to walk around the corner of the carriage, and was still playing with a Han-style rifle in his hand. He immediately said angrily: "Baby, do you all want to go to the military court, right? You won't come out for me."

He was the commander of the First Division of the Cavalry Legion under Qi Guangyi. This time, their division was responsible for supporting Zhu Sansi who was trapped in Yaxa.

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

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

In fact, it was not only the soldiers who were curious, but also the commander of the division was very curious to provide supplies to Zhu Sansi. After all, the Han-style rifles only prepared a small number of troops, and they were even rarer as cavalry.

"so much!"

After seeing the Han-style rifle in the corner, Zhang Qinian was shocked and said, "There were hundreds of wooden boxes containing Han-style rifles, but this was just one of his surprise willingness."

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 cost money when they are fired." The commanders who followed Zhang Qinian said enviously and painfully. Compared with paper-shelled bullets, he could imagine the cost of such bullets just by looking at them.

However, relatively speaking, this kind of bullet completely solves the problem of air leakage in the breech gun and allows the Han-style rifle to exert more powerful power.

Compared with Falcon rifles, the Chinese-style metal bullets can also be more suitable for winter.

"When will our cavalry be able to equip Han-style rifles and use Han-style rifles to attack the barbarians immediately, I'm excited to think about it." Another regiment commander envied.

"Yes, division commander, this time I will ask Commander Qi to apply to the Military Affairs Department. Now all the soldiers of the Great Yu Kingdom have innovated their equipment, but our cavalry has not yet moved." Another regiment commander said.

Zhang Qinian licked his lips. These weapons did make him jealous. He said, "Don't forget what the commander said when he came. He made a request before the war was fought. This is not the style of our army. If you want to equip the Han-style rifle to form a lancer, we must fight this support war this time, otherwise how could the commander have the face to ask the military headquarters for guns?"

The officers' faces suddenly became serious, and they said in unison: "Don't worry, division commander, we will not embarrass the legion."

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

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

These horses dragged sleds full of supplies to trek on the snow. Compared to the embarrassment of falling into the snow before, the rapid sliding of the sled on the snow made transportation easier.

...

Jaquessa.

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

The war report that was cut off by the Golden Horde has been delivered for nearly three months. Faced with the attack of the Golden Horde and Tsarist Russian soldiers, they consumed almost all the ammunition they had reserved a month ago.

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

However, this situation was broken with the arrival of Tsarist Russian reinforcements in Kunesk. After Yaxa was occupied, Kunesk, who had reacted, colluded with the Golden Horde and sent an army of thousands of people to the city of Yaxa.

The army carried flintlock guns and artillery. When they lost their ammunition, they were tortured by Tsarist Russian firearms.

"Teacher Commander, if we don't come, we can't hold on anymore. The soldiers were injured and had no medicine to treat them. It was very cold here. The original small injury turned into a fatal injury here." Gao Yingfeng's face turned into a white and black one.

During the battle, Tsarist Russia used lime bombs. Fortunately, they received training in this area, so they were more prepared for timely defense, but even so, some soldiers were still injured in their eyes.

Zhu Sansi's face was as deep as water. He said, "Before coming here, you and I had plans to encounter the worst situation. Now is the most difficult time. Even the Russians in Tsarist Russia have to defend the city they occupied for death. How can we, as the defending army of the Great Chongqing Kingdom, easily express our hardships? Even if we are bare-handed, we will have to show our national prestige!"
