"Leave now"

Kitard's expression remained normal, and he issued the order after seeing Chu Hu'er.

......

Before dawn, the mine base, which is about two miles in radius and surrounded by a simple earth wall one foot high, finally arrived.

Hidden behind a large rock in the mine, there are wooden buildings at the four corners of the base, with soldiers on duty standing on the wooden buildings.

After observing for a while, Kitard began to think.

"There are no strengthened guards here, which means that Hamuyang and the others have not taken action yet, or the news has not reached here yet"

After giving the order, the bits and chokes of all the horses were removed, and the three thousand horsemen rushed towards the base as if they suddenly appeared out of the night!

Before long, three thousand people surrounded the base.

At this time, the people in the base naturally woke up, torches were lit in the wooden building, and the entire base began to become noisy.

There are also matchlocks in the base, but the number is very small, which is negligible to the threat of the Truchin Army.

Kitard had ten cannons lined up in a row and aimed at an earthen wall - he had carefully inspected it when he came last time and found that the earthen wall was only one foot thick.

After placing two kilograms of solid bullets into the 100 kilograms short-barreled artillery, insert a uniform fuse into the blast hole, then lower the inclination angle to the lowest five degrees, and ignite them in unison, the soldiers quickly stepped aside.

The Baijin Cannon is the Tiger Crouching Cannon of the Ming Dynasty. Unlike the Tiger Crouching Cannon whose two tiger claws are fixed to absorb the back force, the Tiger Claws of the Truqin Cannon can be retracted, and the claws on the tiger arms can be removed when not in use.

The bolts are loosened so that it can be carried or carried.

It is also convenient to place when being carried by horses.

"Boom..."

The gun rear light flashed almost at the same time!

Iron balls with a diameter of almost six centimeters rushed towards the earth wall a hundred meters away!

Since it is an artillery piece, it is naturally placed nearby so that the maximum potential energy can be utilized. At this distance, its kinetic energy is the greatest!

After ten iron bullets weighing two kilograms hit the earth wall almost simultaneously, people inside and outside the earth wall felt strong vibrations. The earth wall also shook visibly, but it still did not fall!

I simply cleaned the barrel, straightened the position of the tiger's claws, and fired again!

This time the earth wall still did not fall down, but it was already crumbling!

The third salvo began.

"Boom..."

After the smoke cleared, a large gap suddenly appeared in front of us. Although they did not fall neatly, the highest ruins were less than one meter!

Under the cover of muskets, ten artillery pieces advanced rapidly towards the gap.

When they reached about thirty meters, they had already replaced grape bullets!

"Boom..."

When the grape bullets are fired into the gap, they will continue to extend their fan area, not only directly opposite the gap, but also to wipe out all the enemies near the gap!

At this time, other soldiers had taken advantage of the fast firing rate of the rear-mounted flintlock rifles to suppress the Turkmen on the walls on both sides.

After approaching the earthen wall, he threw a large number of grenades inside, and then Chu Huer, the number one brave general of the Truqin Army, rushed in through the gap with 500 horsemen!

After hearing the fierce gunfire nearby, the enemies from other directions were obviously frightened and opened the city gate in a panic to rush out.

Unfortunately, the Truchin Army surrounded the base tightly. After a burst of intensive gunfire, bodies were left in the open space outside.

Seeing this situation, the remaining people had no choice but to retreat.

But they still have to face Chu Huer’s interception!

There were shouts of killing and the sound of muskets being fired was endless.

When the shouts of killing gradually subsided, Kitard took out the pocket watch he bought from the merchants and looked at it. It was only half an hour later.

He asked Techna to continue to guard the outside with two thousand men, while he rushed in through the gap with five hundred cavalry.

......

Another hour passed.

In the mine supervisor's house, Chu Huer was making a report.

"Huntaiji, in this battle, only two of our troops were shot and injured by muskets hidden in the dark. One was seriously injured and was shot in the thigh. The medical soldiers have already taken out the projectiles on the spot..."
p>

"Did you use soju?"

"Naturally, it was used. The medical soldiers all kept Huntaiji's teachings in mind and did not make a mistake. Fortunately, no bones were injured and they were bandaged, but they can't walk anymore."

"The other person bruised his scalp. Just pour some soju on it and bandage it. It won't affect walking and riding."

"The Turkmen were very stupid. They did not let the slave miners come over to consume our ammunition at the first time. Instead, they blocked the cavalry behind the gap, preparing to block our army when it launched a charge."

"So, after the earth wall fell down, they were quickly bombarded by shotguns and grenades. They only had 300 people, and half of them were lost in just a few encounters. Although they were brave, they had seen this kind of scene before, so they fled in all directions."

"It goes without saying in the end"

"After counting, it was discovered that there were about 889 slave miners from different tribes. More than 600 of them were mining and transporting ore, and more than 200 were smelters. By the way, we also found them here.

There were five Persian smelters, and it is estimated that the technique of refining Uzi steel swords was guided by them."

"The rest are all Khorezm craftsmen"

"The slaves live in large rooms with thirty people to one room, four craftsmen live in one room, and the Persian master craftsman lives in one room."

"Most of the Turkmen and Manjit soldiers were killed and more than ten people were captured. Most of them were killed by shrapnel and some were not fatal."

"There is a market consisting of four or five shops near the south. There are more than 20 Khiva merchants and their assistants, as well as some stocks of daily necessities, and some gold. It is said that they were obtained from the Turkmen. I asked

, there are still gold mines in Zaraf, where the Turkmens are entrenched."

"Gold is in scattered shapes and has not been further processed. The largest one is about the size of a thumb."

"The total is equivalent to about 10,000 Bukhara silver coins"

"Ahem, White Room..."

Chu Huer glanced at Kitard with some evil intentions, and responded with a flying kick.

Kitard scolded: "In order to save Sang Kun, I had no choice but to let him howl all night. Do you really think I fell in love with him?"

Chu Hu'er staggered for a few steps before standing still. Then he licked his face and said with a smile: "That's natural, that's natural. How could Huntaiji, the second most powerful person in the Torgut Khanate, fall in love with a boy?"

?"

Then he added: "There are more than 20 young people in the white house. They live in one room each, and the houses are well decorated..."

"Stop talking nonsense and keep talking"

Kitard made another move, and Chu Huer also pretended to move aside, and her words were not idle.

"They are all captured descendants of tribal noble chiefs, and their money was found..."

"Put..."

Now Kitard struck with a solid flying kick, which immediately caused the tall and majestic Chuhu'er to fall.

After the guy fell down, he didn't forget to continue: "Some money was found in the overseer's house, which totaled several thousand silver coins."

"There are also about a thousand pieces of fine iron, each weighing about twenty kilograms, which adds up to tens of thousands of kilograms. There are also some grains, clothes, etc., not to mention."

"Dozens of Turkmen cavalry horses died, look..."

"That goes without saying, let's kill all our people, and then let everyone here including the slaves eat freely. By the way, call over Peternov, one of the Russian prisoners."

After a while, Peternov, who had participated in the expedition against the Khiva Khanate when he joined the army at the age of fifteen, had been in the mine for more than thirty years, and was already in his early fifties, came in tremblingly.

But when he saw Kitard, he was overjoyed.

Kitard looked at him coldly.

He has gray hair, a full beard, and the Persian robe he is wrapped in has long been in tatters. He has a pair of bare black feet and is skinny. One of the sleeves of the robe is gone, revealing his dry arms that seem to be connected only by skin and bones.<

/p>

When Petronov saw Kitard looking like this, he thought he was trying to cause trouble for him, so he quickly said: "Sir, what are you doing..."

Kitard continued with a straight face, "Where do your family come from?"

"Sir, I told you before, it's Perm"

"Then do you know a man named Bekotov?"

"Bekotov?" Peternov shook his head, "If he is only 20 or 30 years old, he was just born when I left, or he was only two or three years old. I obviously don't know him."

He seemed to realize something, "Why, someone is asking about me? Maybe they are my relatives. It has been so long that I can't even remember any relatives."

"Why did you join the expedition against the Khiva Khanate as soon as you joined the army?"

"No, no, no, I was not part of the expeditionary force at first, but the Guards of Peter the Great in Moscow. The officers there were all boyars. By the way, let me explain, the current royal family is the Nomanov family.
