Chapter 1699 The Horn of Advancement

Muskets and muskets are different.

The muskets of the expedition were of better quality, had a longer range, and were more accurate.

If you do your calculations with your mind and don't have any intention to launch a surprise attack suddenly, the enemy will inevitably suffer heavy losses.

In the first round of musketry, more than 30 enemies were killed.

This time, the scene immediately became lively.

Although the enemy was caught off guard, it could be seen that they were all experienced veterans, and they immediately rolled over to find cover and weapons at the same time.

It was the first time that the expedition team encountered such a powerful opponent, and they were all excited and started hunting.

Crackling gunshots rang out in the silent mountain forest, and the expedition team did not attack rashly.

Because part of the enemy has already got the musket and started to fight back.

But the enemy's muskets were obviously flintlock guns, and their quality was worrying, so the expedition team used their range advantage to bully them.

The opponent shot at each other for about a stick of incense, and the expedition team was unharmed, and another seven or eight enemies died.

The enemy finally reacted and knew that the musket was not dominant.

So they retreated to the tent area one after another, using more bunkers to confront the expedition team.

Escape is impossible to escape.

After fighting for a while, the enemy has already detected it clearly.

They were obviously surrounded by the expedition team, and if they broke through rashly, none of them would be able to escape.

In this kind of deep mountain and old forest, once alone, the beasts can kill them.

Only by relying on tents and other bunkers to make the expedition helpless can they have a chance to turn defeat into victory.

At least the expedition team can be dragged to the point of impatience, and there may be hope.

If it was the previous expedition team, there was really no good way to deal with this situation.

There will definitely be casualties if you get close, and this is not what adventurers like.

But coincidentally, the expedition team had just completed a facelift.

"Mount the mortar."

If you have guns, it's easy to handle.

Things like tents can cover the shooting of muskets, but it has no effect on artillery.

Although there are still captured Mongolian women there, it is absolutely impossible for the expedition team to take care of the life and death of the Mongolian women regardless of their own safety.

After the war is over, how much these Mongolian women can survive depends on their luck.

From this aspect, the expedition team has far less worries than the National Defense Forces.

After two shells passed, several tents were overturned on the spot, there were continuous screams from inside, and stumps and broken arms flew into the sky.

The enemy was visibly panicked.

Although they don't know what kind of weapon it is, they also understand that it is definitely not something they can resist.

Those who were still alive ran out one after another, trying to escape in a panic.

The expedition team had already established the encirclement circle, and started shooting practice in a leisurely manner.

All the enemies who ran fast, without exception, were all killed by the guns.

Hit, can't beat;
run, can't run;
Guard, can't let go.

The enemy finally recognized the reality, and the few surviving people threw away their muskets one after another, knelt down with their hands up, and chattered something.

"Boss, the enemy has surrendered."

Howe did the translation.

Gu Dahu was stunned for a moment, you even understand the words of Raksha ghosts.

Howe was very proud.

"After we made clear our work direction, we were all required to learn the language of the relevant region. Speaking of it, my Russian is more professional than Mongolian."

Gu Dahu shook his head, not knowing what the country was up to.

Fortunately, there are people who understand the language, which is also convenient for them.

The expedition team came out and surrounded the prisoners.

It could be seen that these prisoners were all terrified, looking at the enemy approaching in horror, completely confused about the situation.

"Ask them, where did they come from?"

Howe spoke immediately.

Don't look at these Russians as very cruel, but once they failed, they were as obedient as sheep and said everything.

"They said they came from a place called Yakutsk. There is a castle they built there, about 300 miles away from here."

"castle?"

Gu Dahu frowned, knowing that he was in trouble.

I thought that this group of people, like them, were expeditions out to find wealth.Unexpectedly, the other party actually had a fixed stronghold, and it was still a castle.

"Ask them again, how many people are there in the castle?"

"They said that there are about 300 people, and there is a governor appointed by the tsar to manage them, and there is also an army of 500 people."

When Gu Dahu heard this, he realized that this was clearly beyond their capabilities.

"Send someone to deliver a letter to the back, take these guys and let them lead the way. Let's go check the situation first."

Although the enemy was not something they could deal with, Gu Dahu still decided to do what he could.

After so many years of adventure in the extreme north, he has already earned enough money, and he is old, and it is time to go back to enjoy the happiness.

However, if he could make some military exploits before going back, it would be of great benefit to himself and future generations.

This is the rules and regulations of the empire, so there is no objection from the whole expedition team.

Anyway, they weren't going to attack the castle. They had done a great job of finding out the way for the National Defense Forces and collecting some information in advance.

Over there, Munda has already found the surviving clansmen. A group of women hugged each other and cried endlessly, all carrying the sadness of the rest of their lives.

Can't help being sad.

In this bitter cold place, all the men died, and a group of women like them didn't know what to do in the future.

Gu Dahu asked Howe to tell them.

"Don't worry, there will be troops coming later, and they will take care of you. These supplies are left for you, just wait here."

It is impossible for the expedition team to take these women, it will become a burden.

But the National Defense Forces should have already set off, and there will definitely be a way when they pass here.

After so long, Munda came forward to say that these Mongolian women were not afraid of the expedition team.Several of them had burning eyes, staring at the tall and burly man in the expedition team.

The women here are not restricted by secular etiquette, and they understand better how to find support for themselves in the harsh living environment.

It is sad that the original man died, but life has to go on, so you have to find a man who is worth relying on.

Compared with the original men, there is no doubt that the men of the expedition team are more powerful.

Munda was on the same mind as everyone else.

"Savior, please take us with you, we are very capable of work, and can give birth to children for you."

Gu Dahu couldn't help grinning, and turned to look at the guys.

"How is it? Do you need any girls?"

They wandered the far north for several years, forgetting how long it had been since they had seen a woman.It would be a lie to say that you don't want the taste of it.

Although these Mongolian women are not good-looking, they are women after all.

Several people jumped out immediately.

"I want it!"

"I want one too!"

"I want two!"

For this kind of thing, Gu Dahu is very tolerant.Seeing that the guys who jumped out were all unmarried, there was nothing to stop them.

"Choose yourselves."

So these Mongolian women were divided up by the expedition.

These women didn't think there was anything wrong with doing so. After finding support, they happily followed the expedition team on the road.

The unpretentious women not only comforted the mind and body of these wild men, but also worked very hard, which actually solved the expedition team's considerable troubles.

In this way, stop and go, explore all the way.

Ten days later, the expedition team came to a wide river.

On the other side of the river, on the edge of the lush and dense forest, a bastion stood out.
