After more than two months, Li Xiao finally crossed the Volga River.

White ice and snow, both sides as black as coal.

This is Tsaritsin after Li Xiao ordered to set fire to the reeds on both sides of the bank!

Many corpses can be seen on the road, all of which were poisoned to death.

The people who were smoked to death were very miserable, and many of them were wearing single clothes.

If you walk forward, you can also see their discarded equipment, coats, and even boots.

When a person is chased by poisonous gas, he or she will move forward with a heavy load at first. But as he keeps running, he will throw away his equipment.

Then, the heavy cotton coat will be thrown away.

Then, due to rapid hypothermia, the body will twitch and lose the ability to move.

These people didn't dare to stop at all, for fear that if they stopped, they would be overtaken by the poisonous gas. Therefore, when they fell to the ground, they had lost hope of living.

I can only watch helplessly as the overwhelming poisonous gas fills the air!

The vast majority of those who do this are Russian soldiers!

Because they needed two legs to escape, and the Ming army had tractors when they escaped.

Of course, there were a lot of bodies on the road that had been run over by tractors.

As long as he sees those corpses that have obviously been run over by tractors, Li Xiao will switch to selective blindness and talk to Kutuzov about the next strategic issue.

Tsaritsyn City has finally become a restricted area. No one dares to enter the restricted area. No one within a radius of thirty kilometers dares to enter!

Li Xiao even discovered that even crows did not dare to fly there.

Winter is a season when food is scarce, but during the winter of the war, crows will never lack food.

After developing the habit of picking up human flesh to eat, crows have become accustomed to living in war.

It even reached the point where even cannons couldn’t blast it away!

Now, the crows' habits have completely changed.

Because eating human flesh will kill you, there were several crow corpses next to many corpses.

There were more rat corpses, it could be said that they were everywhere.

Ukraine is the breadbasket of Europe. Where food is produced, the number of rats is terrifying.

This resulted in a tragic scene with rat corpses everywhere!

The concentration of the poison gas is so high that it can even enter the underground through rat holes and poison rats to death.

We can't go any further, the officers and soldiers of the advance team said. If the dust blown by the wind falls on people's skin, it will cause a rash.

Small transparent bubbles that are itchy and unbearable. If you scratch them, you will be in big trouble.

Wherever the yellow water flows, people will die.

The first soldiers to enter Tsaritsyn had dirty faces.

But those two bastards who came back yesterday were ghosts and ghosts. They were wrapped up like mummies, and even their eyes were wearing goggles.

After running back from the poisonous gas-contaminated area, nothing happened.

Now, he is lying in a field hospital receiving the best care.

"Your Excellency, Marshal, let's board the airship and take a look." Li Xiao took the lead in getting off the jeep.

Kutuzov grabbed the railing with one hand and stepped out of the jeep. He did not forget to look back!

He envied the various vehicles of the Ming army, especially after the road construction. Those heavy-duty trucks made him even more envious.

One vehicle can pull loads that would take several bullock carts and speed down the road.

The efficiency of logistics supply is not even a little higher.

No wonder, before the war reached Tsaritsyn, the first thing the Ming army did when they came here was to build roads!

In order to face such a war, Russia does not know how many cattle, horses and livestock it will have to recruit its people.

But there were basically few livestock in the Ming army.

Even if there are livestock, they are used for slaughtering and eating meat.

The Ming Dynasty even had enough energy to transport tens of thousands of live sheep and thousands of live cattle from Mongolia.

When the Ming army came down from the front line on tractors, they could eat hot mutton or refreshing radish stewed beef.

When the Russian soldiers saw the food of the Ming army, their eyes dropped into the rice pot.

Some mid-level officers tried their best to earn money from the Ming army.

As for lower-level officers and soldiers, they were obliged to work in the Ming army.

I am willing to do any dirty work or tiring work, as long as my mouth is filled with food.

Russians who were accustomed to eating bread quickly adapted to Ming Dynasty's steamed buns and rice.

Some people even learned how to eat pickles between two steamed buns!

Some Russian women even found a house near the Ming army camp and started a flesh and blood business.

They all survived a narrow escape on the battlefield. God knows if they will survive the next time they go to the battlefield.

Many young children have never even held a woman’s hand.

It's a bit unfair to die like this. I want to taste the taste of a woman before I die.

Although yellow-haired women are not as good as Ming girls, they are still women after all.

At least, we can learn about women's physiological structure from them.

It's much warmer inside the airship than in a jeep!

Li Xiao entered the airship and immediately took off his coat.

Kutuzov saw Li Xiao take off his coat, and he also took off his Russian coat.

Li Xiao took a look at Kutuzov's coat and visually estimated that the cotton coat weighed at least twenty pounds.

No wonder the Russian soldiers who were poisoned to death had to take off their coats.

So damn heavy!

In comparison, Li Xiao's down jacket is too light.

There are two rows of sofas, and a lacquered wood table with copper edges in the middle.

Kutuzov saw the table and sighed helplessly.

This is the airship pod of the supreme leader of the Ming Dynasty. It looks like a miniature version of the combat command room.

The only thing that looks more luxurious is the table and the sofa under the buttocks.

I touched it with my hand and found that the binding was still brass.

Many Russian generals' special airships are a hundred times more luxurious than Li Xiao's.

Walking into the pod, you will see a soft Persian carpet.

What hangs on the wall are not battle maps, but crystal wall lamps and oak decorations.

For decoration, you can use crystal instead of glass, and you can use gold instead of pure copper.

Anyway, use whatever is luxurious.

There are even whole ivory tusks placed inside the pod!

I really don't understand why the general used ivory in his pod.

Such Russian soldiers were eating bread mixed with sawdust.

Even for three meals a day, I could only eat potatoes provided by Daming.

But the generals in Moscow were still drinking vodka and eating plump steaks.

Every now and then, a piece of venison is necessary to satisfy your cravings!

Li Xiao's entourage is full of armed soldiers and capable staff officers!

Look at those people in Moscow. There was a blonde beauty who got wet inside the airship.

Some people even install bathtubs in airships.

Talk about relaxing between battles!

Look at Li Xiao again, just wipe his face with a hot towel and enjoy it.

This is what a soldier is!

Kutuzov was full of helplessness and resentment towards those in Moscow.

But there is no way, this is the situation now.

Her Majesty the Queen cannot possibly deal with those people, but must rely on those people to help her rule this crumbling empire.
