Outside the city of cherkesk, the karmec cavalry who secretly attacked Cherchen brought the dead bodies of the Tatar cavalry and their mounts back to the camp and brought them to Ayuki Taiji.


    "Taiji, we killed 12 people, escaped 8 people, and our side lost 6 people." the head of the ten captain reported to ah yuqihui.


    At this time, ayyuchi Taiji was sitting with naum Vasiliev. They had surrounded cherkesk five days ago. During this period, Kalmyk cavalry once launched a surprise attack on the city of cherkesk with a hook. Dozens of warriors successfully boarded the wooden wall of cherkesk, but they were beaten down by the garrison with superior forces, and dozens of people were killed.


    After that, ah Yuqi ordered to stop the attack. He asked naum Vasiliev to provide "larger caliber guns (artillery)", otherwise he would never let his soldiers die.


    Although naum Vasiliev was eager to recover cherkesk, he did not say that he had no guns for ayucci. Even if he had, he did not dare to provide guns to the Kalmyks. He was well aware of the harm of providing artillery to these nomads, and providing artillery that could blast through the gates and walls of cherkesk meant that most of the border towns in czar Russia''s southern border could no longer defend against their invasion.


    In particular, naum Vasiliev, this ayyuchi, is now extremely vigilant. The boy under twenty has a crazy thirst for knowledge. In a short period of more than ten days, he has captured several Cossacks under his command through money and beauty. From them, he has not only learned the use of muskets. If he hadn''t discovered it in time, a Cossack would even have taught him the formula of gunpowder.


    But without artillery, ah Yuqi refused to attack the city. Before that, naum Vasiliev and ayyuqi had made several representations, but none of them let go.


    This time, under the pretext of Tatar cavalry, ah Yuqi made another request.


    "Leader naom Vasiliev, you can see that these Crimean Tatars have found that cherkesk is under siege. I''m afraid thousands of Tatar cavalry will flock to cherkesk in the near future. I''m afraid it''s impossible to help you with these people in bentaiji at that time." ayuchi said, He shook his head for naum Vasiliev like regret.


    After listening to Ayuki''s words, naum Vasiliev secretly hated: it''s not because your boy doesn''t work.


    However, naum Vasiliev still had a smile on his face.


    "Lord Taiji, will you launch a general attack as long as you open the door of cherkesk?"


    "Of course! We turhutes are honest." ah Yuqi patted his thigh and said solemnly.


    The Gelu Lama sitting on the side also announced the Buddha''s horn.


    "That''s good! I''ll provide you with artillery!" naum Vasiliev said, gritting his teeth.


    Naum Vasiliev wanted to provide Ayuki with several skinned artillery. The so-called skin artillery was first invented by Gustav, the "Northern European lion". The gun was originally a light forged iron tube wrapped in rope and leather to launch chain shot. Although the skin gun has the disadvantages of short service life and short range, these disadvantages are its advantages for naum Vasiliev. As a result, the Kalmyks could no longer use these guns after the battle. Moreover, these skin guns are easy to manufacture and are suitable for use in this emergency.


    The next morning, when several temporary skin guns were put on a simple gun cart and pushed in front of ah Yuqi, the ten and centurions standing next to ah Yuqi pointed at these short and fat skin guns like vases.


    "Lord Taiji, please look!" naum Vasiliev said proudly pointing at the guns.


    Ah Yuqi went to the gun. He leaned down and looked at the dark muzzle with his face.


    "Naum Vasiliev." ayuqi straightened up and said to naum Vasiliev.


    "Yes."


    Naum Vasiliev held his head high.


    Ah Yuqi Khan pointed to the things rolled up by the cowhide and asked, "is this the artillery you provided for me?"


    As soon as ah Yuqi''s voice fell, kardan Zeling pulled out his knife.


    "Unbelievers! How dare you fool Taiji with this kind of cowhide roll!" retorted gardance Ling.


    "Leader naum Vasiliev is not an unbeliever. Naum Vasiliev is the leader of the Cossacks on the Don river." naum Vasiliev is fearless about kardanzeling''s knife fight, because he has found out ayuqi''s routine. He sings a red face, while the man''s reckless kardanzeling sings a black face. They fool themselves together.


    Sure enough, ah Yuqi pressed the knife hand of kardan Zeling. He said to kardan Zeling, "don''t be rude."


    Then he turned to naum Vasiliev and said with a smile, "leader naum Vasiliev, since you say this is a gun, please show us its power."


    "Of course!" answered naum Vasiliev. He ordered six Cossacks with artillery carts to push the artillery carts in front of the city gate of cherkesk and aim the muzzle at the city gate.


    When the defenders in cherkesk saw the artillery pushed by the enemy outside the city, they frantically poured bullets and feather arrows in the direction of the artillery vehicle, trying to kill the soldiers operating the artillery. However, naum Vasiliev was obviously prepared. He erected a wooden wall more than one person high with logs to cover the soldiers operating the artillery.


    The Cossack who operated the first skin gun poured gunpowder into the muzzle under the watchful eyes of ayyuqi and Gelu Lama, then put an iron shell into the muzzle and tamped it tightly with a push rod.


    "Ayuki Taiji, Gelu Lama. I think we''d better stay away. It''s not safe here." naum Vasiliev advised the two men who were staring at the artillery.


    Naum Vasiliev is really for the good of both of them, because although these skin guns are made by himself, naum Vasiliev can''t guarantee whether these temporary guns made of wrought iron and cowhide will explode.


    Ayuqi listened to naum Vasiliev''s truth and withdrew dozens of steps with the Gelu Lama.


    The Cossack who operated the gun nailed the burning red drill into the ignition port. The ignited gunpowder squeaked, but there was no movement in the gun chamber for a long time.


    Everyone was wondering. Suddenly, the position of the gun made an earth shaking noise. Cossack gunners and artillery were immediately submerged in the flames.


    The gun burst.


    Then, an earth shaking cheering broke out at the head of cherkesk. These insurgents obviously regarded the blasting of the skin artillery as a good omen that God was blessing the "real" czar and the Czar''s servants.


    Naum Vasiliev''s face was livid. There was such a big accident in the first test, which undoubtedly hit himself in the face.


    Gar dance Ling also looks iron green. In his view, this is undoubtedly another evidence that the Russians deceived Taiwan and Kyrgyzstan.


    Ah Yuqi, who was almost killed by the explosion, was not surprised. After the fire was put out, he smiled and said to naum Vasiliev, "it''s not surprising that there are occasional mistakes. I believe you won''t disappoint me in the next shot."


    Ah Yuqi''s words were more lethal to naum Vasiliev than kardanzeling''s knife. He forced the Cossack gunner of the second gun, whose legs were soft with fear, to push the skin gun into the position and launch it.


    "God bless, God bless!" the "lucky" Cossack gunner repeatedly crossed his chest, then closed his eyes and inserted the torch into the ignition port.


    Of course, in addition to praying for God''s blessing, naum Vasiliev also summed up lessons. He replaced solid shells with lighter chain bullets.


    This time, the Cossack gunner did not repeat the previous tragedy. The chain bullet was fired. Although it did not hit the gate, it swept a section of the city wall more than ten meters long and beat the four heads sticking out from the back into meat foam. After that, the castration of the chain bullet did not stop, and hit the pillar of the wooden arrow tower, breaking the whole arrow tower at the waist.


    The power of this shot is beyond human power. Whether it''s the young and wise ah Yuqi, the brave kardan Zeling, or the Gelu Lama who is dedicated to the Buddha, they are stunned.


    Naum Vasiliev smiled triumphantly when he saw that the three were stunned. This is exactly what he wants.


    Naum Vasiliev said to himself loudly, "such artillery is not popular in czar Russia. There is a huge artillery in front of the Kremlin in Moscow. The artillery length of this huge artillery is 5.34 meters, the caliber is 0.92 meters and the weight is 40 tons. Do you know how big 0.92 meters are?"


    Naum Vasiliev, who pretended to be talking to himself, exaggerated his arms in order to illustrate the size of the cannon.


    "That''s it!"


    Naum Vasiliev said with a gesture.


    After seeing the great power of the skin artillery, naum Vasiliev''s words and actions shocked the young Ayuki. He could not imagine that such a small caliber artillery had such great power. Once the 0.92M caliber artillery in naum Vasiliev''s mouth opened fire, it would be earth shaking. And how can their own people sustain themselves when they encounter such fierce fire.


    "Lama chin, Lama chin."


    At this time, the Gelu Lama read the master twice, and then said to ah Yuqi, "Taiji is in virtue, not in danger."


    Gelu Lama quoted an allusion from the Warring States period of China: Marquis Wu of Wei took a boat down the Yellow River and turned back to Wu Qi in the middle reaches and said, "it''s so beautiful. Such dangerous mountains and rivers are the treasure of the state of Wei!" Wu Qi replied: "The treasure of a country should be the ruler''s moral policy, not the danger of mountains and rivers. In the past, the Sanmiao family had Dongting Lake on the left and Pengli lake on the right, but he was destroyed by Xia Yu because he did not practice humanity. Xia Jie lived in the Yellow River and Jishui on the left, Mount Taihua on the right, yique mountain in the South and Yangchang Osaka in the north. He was exiled by Shang Tang because he did not exercise benevolent government. Shang Zhou On the left is mengmen mountain, on the right is Taihang Mountain, Changshan is in the north, and the Yellow River passes through the south. Because he was not benevolent, he was killed by King Wu of Zhou. It can be seen that the national treasure lies in virtue, not in the dangerous terrain. If the king does not exercise virtue, I''m afraid these people on board will become your enemies "!


    He is reminding ah Yuqi that it is people, not weapons, that should be feared.


    Ah Yuqi was so clever that he immediately understood what Gelu Lama meant.


    As soon as ah Yuqi''s demon left, he nodded gratefully to the Gelu Lama and thanked him for his advice.


    Then, ayuqi said to naum Vasiliev with a calm look: "he knocked down the wall against the city gate. It seems that your artillery is nothing more than that."
