Sun Fumin was overjoyed.
He had stumbled in Tomsk and was going to find it here.
Unexpectedly, the Rakshasa people were so sensible that they came to his door.
After unloading the supplies from the horse, Sun Fumin asked the artillerymen to install the artillery on the city wall of Tomsk, and then used solid bullets to measure the distance below the fortress, so that when the enemy came, he no longer needed to locate the cannon.
If the distance is up, you can hit the target by firing directly.
The guards and gunners were assigned to guard sections of the city wall.
The cavalry rested in the castle and waited for the arrival of the Rakshasa people.
The next day was fine.
On the morning of the third day, a large group of Cossack cavalry rushed towards Tomsk.
After arriving outside the fortress, the infantry behind the Cossack cavalry dismounted, dragged the cannon out of the carriage, and headed towards it with difficulty.
The fort moves past.
Sun Fumin stopped the artillery director's request to fire the cannon and said with a smile: "Put it closer and wait until they start to prepare to load the cannon.
Although these cannons are heavy, they are good for defending the city."
The Rakshasa people lowered the cannon less than a mile in front of the fortress.
The cannon seemed to weigh at least seven or eight hundred kilograms, because it took five people to drag it.
The Rakshasa people estimated that the Ming army's small artillery attack range would not be too far, so they were not afraid at all and installed the cannon there arrogantly.
After the Rakshasa people installed the artillery, Sun Fumin waved his hand, and the anxious artillery director shouted: "Fire."
Because a simulated range measurement was conducted in front of them, the cannonballs roared out of the city wall and hit the Rakshasa who was installing the cannon.
The broken arms and legs of the Rakshasa people flew out with the explosion, and the powder barrel of a cannon was hit.
The violent explosion knocked the cannon over, but the Rakshasa people around the cannon couldn't even find their hands or feet.
When it arrived, it was all reduced to tiny pieces of meat.
The Rakshasa people did not expect to encounter such a situation.
Their cannon weighed a thousand kilograms and had a range of only one mile.
The Ming army's cannon seemed to weigh less than 200 kilograms, but it could hit such a distance, which puzzled them.
The Rakshasa usually used artillery to destroy the enemy's city defenses first, and then the Cossack cavalry surged up like a tide to seal the victory.
Now that the first step cannot be completed, the Cossack cavalry can only look at each other on horseback.
At this time, the city gate opened, and a group of Jurchen soldiers slowly walked out with spears, followed by fire gun soldiers, and finally the Mongolian cavalry.
The Ming army slowly walked to a mile outside the city, about two hundred steps away from the Cossack cavalry, and then stopped.
The Jurchen's spear is specially made by the Bureau of Ordnance.
It is nine feet and five inches long.
There is a small iron plate at the end that can be opened.
After opening, it can increase the force-bearing area of the rear.
The Jurchen inserts the back end of the spear into the soil. , the spear was raised diagonally forward.
Although there were only five hundred spears, once the people dispersed, there was a forest of guns.
The Jurchen squatted down and held the spear shaft.
The firecrackers behind pointed the firecrackers at the Cossack cavalry in front, and then released a row of firecrackers.
The Rakshasa people knew the range of their muskets.
It was almost impossible not to hurt people, but even to hit people or horses two hundred paces away.
But after the sound of the Ming army's gunshots, several horses neighed and people screamed, and more than a dozen Cossack cavalry fell off their horses.
The Cossack leader Bosak was shocked.
The killing range of their matchlock guns was relatively close, so he thought that the Ming army's would be similar, but he didn't expect it to be like this.
The Cossack cavalry immediately retreated, at least a mile away from the Ming army, and placed the Rakshasa artillery in front of the Ming army.
Sun Fumin said: "Let the firecrackers kill the artillery.
The Jurchen infantry should not move to prevent the opponent's cavalry from attacking."
The Ming army pushed towards the artillerymen with blunderbuss.

Although the Ming army's artillery shells had killed some of the artillerymen, most of the artillerymen were not injured or were slightly injured.
They had no firecrackers at all, and only had a small knife with them.
At this time, the Rakshasa people pulled out the small knife and looked desperately at the Ming army that was getting closer and closer.
The Ming army was forced to be thirty steps away from the Rakshasa people, but they did not surrender and opened fire directly on the Rakshasa people.
The Rakshasa soldiers fell to the ground one by one, still holding the knife tightly.
After all the Rakshasa fell to the ground, the Ming army was not in a hurry to move forward.
Instead, they loaded their ammunition, stepped forward with bayonets and stabbed them one by one.
After confirming that they were dead, they continued to move forward and sweep the battlefield.
Sun Fumin saw that the Cossack cavalry abandoned the friendly forces without hesitation, and his evaluation of the Cossack cavalry dropped by another level.
After the Guards cleared the battlefield, they returned to the team.
At this time, another group of Ming soldiers without weapons came out of the castle.
They took ropes and dragged the cannon into the castle.
During the whole process, the Cossack cavalry watched from a distance and saw that the Ming army always maintained their formation, especially the pikemen in front, who did not move, knowing that they had no chance.
Bossak sighed and waved his hand, and the Cossack cavalry retreated unexpectedly.
After waiting until there was no trace of the Cossack cavalry, Sun Fumin changed the rear team to the front team and slowly retreated to the castle.
In this battle, the Ming army captured a total of ten intact cannons and killed a total of 220 Rakshasa artillerymen without any damage to themselves.
After returning to the castle, Sun Fumin called the quartermaster and said: "Try this cannon to see how it compares to our cannons.
If there is any advantage over us, send it to the rear immediately for them to study."
After lunch, Sun Fumin held a meeting of officers.
He first said: "In this battle, the Jurchen spearmen and Mongolian cavalry will be the first to take credit.
You suppressed the Cossack cavalry so much that they did not dare to charge.
I will specifically mention this in the battle report."
Director of the Jurchen Army Atelie and Director of the Mongolian Cavalry Bureau Krit quickly stood up to express their gratitude.
The battle was all fought by the firecrackers.
They did not take action at all.
Although they did have a deterrent effect on the Cossack cavalry, if the commander was not willing To report your own merits, it is enough to say that you have not achieved anything.
Now Sun Fumin is willing to give them the first credit, which makes them both frightened and excited.
Sun Fumin said: "This is what you deserve.
His Majesty the Emperor has said that since they are all Guards, there will be no distinction between Han, Mongolian and Jurchen.
Merits will be rewarded, and transgressions will be punished.
Therefore, all of you in the Guards, You don’t have to worry about your credit being misappropriated, you just have to worry about not being able to make a contribution.”
Atai Lie gave a military salute and said: "Please rest assured, division and battalion commander, our Jurchen Infantry Bureau will definitely remember the battalion commander's words and contribute military merit to the Ming Dynasty."
Crete also gave a military salute, but said nothing.
His meaning is very clear.
I won’t say anything now, but you will see how I do it when the time comes
