“Xiang Yu, I won’t get involved in such trivial matters.” Jiang Tian waved his hand. “However, I heard from those Russians that they brought a batch of cannons called Tsar Cannons this time.”
The moment I hear the word "giant cannon," I think of it.
Xiang Yu immediately perked up.
"My lord, just how big is this cannon?"
"One cannon."
"How much..." Xiang Yu was stunned upon hearing this.
"Can you carry a cannon? If you can, go and steal two Tsar Cannons."
Upon hearing this, Li Yuanba quickly said, "Xiang Yu, how about I lend you one of these cannons? But when we find the enemy's Tsar Cannon, you can't try to take it from me."
Li Yuanba, this is the kind of person who won't act until he sees the rabbit.
"What are you thinking? I'd like to see what this massive Tsar Cannon looks like. I wonder if I can even lift it."
"Don't worry, neither of you can carry it." Jiang Tian looked at the sky through his binoculars, where a white eagle was circling continuously.
This means that directly below the white eagle was the army of these Rakshasa people.
"Everyone, there's a hill ahead." Jiang Tian's binoculars quickly spotted a hill several hundred meters high not far away.
"Let's rest after we finish this battle today." Jiang Tian whistled and stepped on the gas.
The vehicle sped towards the hillside not far away.
The cavalrymen were thrilled when they heard there was going to be a battle.
Fighting alongside Jiang Tian is tantamount to reaping military merits.
Having military merits meant having money, a house, women, and land.
Li Yuanba followed closely behind Xiang Yu.
"When the battle between Xiang Yu and I breaks out, we brothers don't need to be polite. We have two cannons. Whichever one you want, you can take it."
Xiang Yu chuckled: "I haven't taken a liking to any of these cannons. I'll go and snatch them myself later. I want to see what that heavy Tsar Cannon looks like."
The group arrived at a small hill not far away.
Xiang Yu and his companions used binoculars to look into the distance.
Jiang Tian yelled at them, "Keep your positions! They won't go up the hillside. The artillery they're carrying is too heavy. They'll just pass by the front of the hillside."
Everyone nodded.
"We'll open fire when they pass by."
Xiang Yu, looking through his binoculars, saw at least 20 cannons among the crowd.
Two of them were enormous cannons.
This is probably what is known as the Tsar Cannon.
"Good heavens!" Li Yuanba was so happy when he saw the Tsar's cannon that he practically blew snot out of his nose.
"This Tsar Cannon is really big. Even if I, Li Yuanba, were to carry it, I'm not sure I could manage it."
Xiang Yu curled his lip: "Li Yuanba, is there anything you can't carry? If you can't carry it, then those two cannons are mine."
Because the distance is very far.
Neither Li Yuanba nor Xiang Yu could accurately perceive the size of the Tsar Cannon even through a telescope.
However, each Tsarist cannon required a full 30 horses to pull it.
The enemy's marching speed is very slow.
Jiang Tian continued watching.
The Tsar Cannon's shells were enormous; each carriage could only carry two shells.
"If this kind of shell hits a person, that person won't survive."
The group lay on the snow and waited for a long time.
"Our lord and the others are moving as slowly as tortoises." Before Li Yuanba could finish speaking, he sneezed twice more.
"I'm lying here in the snow, I'm going to freeze to death."
Wanli Yunyan knelt down, and the emaciated horse curled up inside Li Yuanba.
Soon, Li Yuanba felt warmer.
"Comparison is the thief of joy, and comparison is the thief of joy. Compared to that Tsar Cannon, my two cannons are nothing."
Just now, Xiang Yu was begging Li Yuanba, hoping that Li Yuanba would provide him with a cannon.
Now, Xiang Yu completely disregarded Li Yuanba's cannons.
Xiang Yu focused all his energy on the Tsar Cannon.
"My lord, I can't wait any longer," Xiang Yu said, looking at the slow-moving army in the distance. He was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan.
"What's the panic? These guys are already like dumplings in a pot, they can't escape."
"My lord, I have a suggestion." Xiang Yu could not contain his excitement. "Li Yuanba and I will attack now and slowly circle around to their rear. If you don't attack, we won't attack either. What do you think?"
"Alright, alright..." Jiang Tian waved his hand at the two of them, "You can go around if you want."
The two of them jumped up from the ground in a flash.
"My lord, we'll be going now." Li Yuanba and Xiang Yu couldn't wait to mount their horses.
"Wait a minute, I haven't finished speaking yet, why are you in such a hurry?"
"See that Tsar Cannon?"
The two nodded at the same time.
"See that gunpowder over there?"
The two of them nodded their heads like chickens pecking at rice.
"When you launch your attack in a little while, just bombard their gunpowder with artillery."
Once we destroy the gunpowder of these Russians, their muskets will be nothing more than fire pokers.
Their artillery was also completely ineffective.
Li Yuanba shook his head: "My lord, if we blow up that gunpowder, how will I use their Great Tsar Cannon?"
Xiang Yu: "Don't worry, my lord. Even if we don't use the explosives, we can still take back those two cannons using their gunpowder."
“Then you shouldn’t go,” Jiang Tian refused them outright. “Our gunpowder is better and more powerful than theirs.”
"Do as I say, or you two will crawl in this snowdrift until tomorrow."
Wearing armor and lying in this snowdrift, if I had to crawl until tomorrow, I'd be frozen solid.
Upon realizing this, Xiang Yu and Li Yuanba quickly shook their heads: "Don't worry, my lord, we will do as you say."
"Alright, hurry up and go. Once we fire our guns, your cannons have to fire too."
"Destroy the enemy's explosives truck immediately."
"clear……"
Xiang Yu and Li Yuanba gave Jiang Tian a respectful military salute before riding their warhorses away into the distance.
...
Andrei, riding on his horse, shivered from the north wind.
"This weather is even colder than Siberia!"
“I really don’t know how these people on the grasslands get through these harsh winters,” Andrei said, unscrewing the flask.
Fortunately, the whiskey in the flask hadn't frozen yet.
The guy tilted his head back and poured a big gulp of whiskey into his mouth.
However, the silver jug contained whiskey and was already frozen solid.
He took a big gulp of whiskey, but instead of warming up, he started to shiver a few times.
"Warriors of the Rakshasa Kingdom, we must reach Snow Wolf City tonight. I've had enough of this damned weather."
