The stonemason looked at the typos on the paper and thought that today was an eye-opener. I have carved an inscription for half a lifetime, and it is the first time I have seen so many "fake characters".

However, I think that my name can be like the stele of Yongning Temple, and the names of stonemasons and carpenters can be engraved, and it will not be rotten or bad for thousands of years, which is also worth it.

The carpenters and stonemasons stayed here, and Liu Yu led the people to follow the people of those tribes to the next village that the Rakshasas might attack.

It is said that it is necessary to pay tribute first, and then protect.

But since the Xuande period, it has been 300 years off tribute, and now it can only be protected first, and then tribute, declaring that Dashun still has the power and the right to speak here. After this battle, they were willing to send people with walrus tusks and mink furs to follow them to the Songhua River to defend the envoys.

Fooling the tribal tribute, Liu Yu did not have the satisfaction of the glorious atmosphere of the Celestial Empire, but felt that these people could get more things for themselves.

For example, someone who pays tribute to the emperor will definitely like it.

For example, you can trick some people into shedding some blood for themselves and doing some private work, and it is always useful to have a few more people.

After arriving at that tribal village, Liu Yu intuitively understood why dozens of Cossacks and dozens of servant troops could fight these tribes without a plan.

The village was barely defended, and the houses were made of wood and covered with thick thatch.

A single fire can burn a house to ashes.

In order to prevent fire, these wooden houses are far apart, and a tribe of 100 people, the village is very large.

There were only some simple fences outside as defense, not to mention that the Cossacks still had cannons with them this time, even if they were all muskets, these people could not resist.

According to the speed of the Cossacks, there was only about two or three days to prepare.

After a few circles in the village, Liu Yu took Du Feng and others to the vicinity to take a look at the terrain.

The village is on a small hill with a small river behind it.

The surrounding area is surrounded by dense forests, and these tribes do not know how to farm, and religious customs do not allow them to farm, at most they collect a little bit of food such as berries, hazelnuts, pine nuts, etc.

Only in front of the village was a meadow clearing, also covered with thick snow.

"What do you think you should do? This village is not in danger to defend, but it is better to fight in the field? ”

Du Feng felt that the victory of the wild was very big. He often dealt with the Cossacks in the Acropolis of Handori, so let's be it. The riding skills are good, and they can endure hardships, but the field battle in array is not a strong point, but it is really difficult to defend the fortress.

Since these Cossacks came from the north, and instead of riding horses, they requisitioned moose and dogs, it was tantamount to abolishing the Cossacks' best riding skills.

Liu Yu lifted his horsewhip and pointed to the open space in front of the village and said, "I don't think there is any need for field battles. These Rakshasas will surely unfurl their cannons in this clearing, bombard them, and then storm the village. There will be no defense behind the flanks. ”

"Uh...... Don't underestimate your enemies. ”

Liu Yu laughed and asked rhetorically: "Why do you think the Cossacks are running so far to do here?" Expanding the territory for the motherland? ”

"Naturally not. The world is bustling, all for profit. ”

"That's it. Fighting a war is not an end, fighting a war is to achieve a certain goal. Knowing what he is trying to achieve, one can deduce how they will fight. Let me ask you, why did these Cossacks come? ”

"Back to my lord. The Rakshasas kill people to deter villages, and attack villages to rob furs. ”

"In that case, not to mention that the Rakshasas will not be able to surround the entire village on the hundredth, even if they surround and kill all the people, who will they ask to collect the 'Toothsak'? Therefore, the Rakshasas will not be surrounded on all sides, but will inevitably bombard in front and swarm in after breaking the fence. Whoever enters the village first will get the most skins. Moreover...... The Rakshasas are used to bullying this tribe, and they have forgotten how to fight. Bullying the tribe, that's called fighting? ”

Stretching out his thumb to measure the distance of the open space in front of him, Liu Yu pointed to a lonely birch tree in the distance and said, "I'll give them a wake-up call today." The bullying tribe is used to bullying, this is playing chess with a stinky chess basket, and the more you play, the worse it gets. ”

"It's the same with our country, fighting the southwest toast, and coming to a conclusion - a small cannon of 100 catties, which can climb mountains and mountains, is placed on horseback, and does not need a gun carriage is the most useful. Isn't that? ”

"In my opinion, it is around that point that the Rakshasas will set up their artillery. The tribe fights, there is no order, and these Rakshasas don't think about the flanks, the rear and the like. Don't think too much, think too much, but you can't fight this battle. I'll leave the matter to you. ”

Du Feng's heart moved, since Taizong Jingxiang's conquest, there are three military achievements: beheading generals, capturing the flag, and grabbing artillery.

After Dashun Jingxiang counterattacked, it was extremely difficult to win the world.

Nanming is okay, it will disperse as soon as it is rushed, and it will be much more difficult to fight in the Manchu Dynasty. In particular, the artillery of the Manchu Qing Dynasty was relatively abundant and good, so at that time, the capture of artillery and the capture of the flag were the same merit.

This is also the reason why the soldiers of the Zhichong Prefecture in various parts of the Songhua River have to make up a qualified war horse by demolishing houses and selling land: when the infantry is easy to die, they can't grab any loot, and it is impossible to have great achievements such as seizing artillery.

Du Feng was stopped by Liu Yu's "making up for his merits", and in addition to fighting with the Cossacks and snatching back Liu Yu's hat along the way, he really had no chance of meritorious service.

Now that Liu Yu has made it clear to him a chance, where can Du Feng not understand, and hurriedly said: "Please rest assured, leave it to you." Do you want to use the tribe as bait? ”

"It's not a bait, it's an anvil. You don't have to ride a horse, take a few people around and choose a place where you can stay in wait. ”

Du Feng nodded yes, still confused. Looking back at the tribal village that was simply vulnerable, he hesitated for a long time and asked, "How can adults make anvils instead of bait?" Those who have an iron anvil need to withstand the blow of an iron hammer, and this village is so dilapidated that it is difficult to defend. One is that the Rakshasa people will arrive in three or five days, and there is no time; The second is that it is cold and freezing, even if the adults can repair the fort, there is no way. ”

"Haven't you watched "Three Kingdoms"? Cao Mengde recruited Ma Chao, Lou Gui offered a plan, splashing water and freezing to form a wall. No matter how cold it is in the northwest, how cold is it here? Nowadays, ice is harder than iron, and a wall can be built overnight with wood as a plywood base. You don't have to worry about the things inside, you just choose a good place, and after you choose it, you can take someone to wait there. When the opportunity comes, you go and grab the guns. As for when the opportunity comes, if you don't even know this, then you really don't need to make meritorious contributions. ”

Du Feng snorted, thinking that what he said was reasonable.

Jumping off the horse, with a few companions who had come with them, they went around to the nearby woods, looking for a place upwind, not easy to detect, and covered by trees.

Liu Yu returned to the village by himself and chose a house in the middle of the village.

Let the translator talk to the elders and warriors of the tribe, they only regard Liu Yu as the savior who appeared after praying to the gods, so they naturally obey their words.

All the wooden houses in the middle of the village were torn down, and there was no need to dig up the earth, so they spread the toppled timber and branches on the ground.

After stacking them one by one, they made fires, chiseled ice, melted snow, and fetched water, and buckets of water were poured on top of the wooden branches.

It was the coldest time, and it didn't take long for the water to condense into ice.

Some men were sent outside to continue cutting down trees, but in one night, a simple fortress was completed.

The ice wall is less than two meters high, not very high, but very thick.

The entire ice wall forms a very large angle "V", and the wings are supported by simple ice castles to prevent the Rakshasas from noticing that they are circling backwards from the wings.

There was another morning of water outside, and in the afternoon some snow and wood were used to cover it.

The wall was no more than two meters high, and the base was more than a meter thick, frozen into one piece, and it was just a white mark when smashed with a hammer. The man crouched inside, standing up just in time to shoot.

There is no need to make it so troublesome, Liu Yu is worried that Du Feng will not be able to capture the cannon, and the Rakshasa people will bombard it with artillery, which makes it so complicated.

The contempt mentioned before, but in terms of tactics, we must also think about defeat first and then win. If the Rakshasas were really alert, they would not be able to attack it with three times as many people as many as they could rely on this simple ice castle.

The ice wall is quite simple for the fortress, but the difficult thing is to make the people of these tribes learn to retreat.

Not to mention an organized retreat, at least when you really want to retreat, don't run to the ice castle in a hurry, but go around to the two wings.

His tactics were simple.

A fence outside the village to lure enemies. Let the "cannon fodder" of the Horde stand in front and shoot with bows and arrows according to the primitive tactics.

With the bows of these people's bones, they will definitely not be able to shoot a few people. But if you don't keep the fence, you are afraid that the Rakshasa people will be suspicious.

According to Liu Yu's thoughts, the Cossacks would definitely shell a few shots with artillery and shoot two rounds of guns. As soon as the fence is broken, they rush over.

These Cossacks did not have many flintlock muskets and even fewer bayonets, and today's Tula Arsenal produces two or three thousand flintlock muskets a year, and the front-line troops are still under-equipped, especially for the Cossacks who made a fortune from these expeditions.

But the arquebusiers of the Rakshasa used axes as gun holders. A sharp weapon for hand-to-hand combat, but also a sharp weapon for cutting fences. As soon as the Rakshasas begin to charge, the people of these tribes will run back.

Don't fight hand-to-hand with the Rakshasas, you can't beat them: the Rakshasas at least have a military organization, and they have teammates to cooperate, and charging in formation to cut down these chaotic tribes is not much different from running into the flock to kill sheep.

Don't look at the people of this tribe who are strong and strong, and they often boast about fighting tigers and shooting bears, which is not the same thing as fighting.

As long as the people of these tribes learn to run backwards from the wings, they can run to the wings of the ice castle. Putting the Rakshasas close, a volley can break down the formation of the Rakshasas, and when there is no formation, it will be time for these tribal warriors to perform.

After the salvo, the formation dispersed, and these tribesmen who retreated to the two wings fought back, and they could win a big victory.

Two low-level sentry officers were selected from the ranks, and they were each asked to lead a team of tribesmen, and they learned how to run backwards.

It seems to be a simple task, but the two whistles are forced to scold the mother. As soon as they ran, it was like herding sheep, and they were chaotic, and several of them even went in the direction of the ice castle.

That is, the elders of the tribe spoke, and the people of those tribes had to listen, and they could only practice how to run backwards over and over again.

After two days of practice, I can be considered to be a little good, at least when I run, I know who to run with, and I know about which way to run.

When I was almost ready, I finally heard a dog barking in the distance, and a moose's somewhat piercing bark.

Liu Yu stood on the wood, took out his binoculars and looked at it, convinced that the Rakshasas had finally come to take revenge.

Jumped into the ice castle and crouched down, and asked the musketeers hidden inside to check the arquebuses and gunpowder one last time. The tribal elder who used it to lure the enemy also wore a bear skin and laid out a drum made of fish skin, which clattered on a pile of wood in the ice castle.

All the skins of the tribe were taken out and piled up in a prominent place in the ice castle.

Liu Yu was not nervous at all, the veteran musketeer on his side had a hundred and ten people, and he had simple fortifications. Just seventy or eighty true Rakshasa people, there is nothing to worry about.

The only thing to worry about is your own discipline.

Looking at those soldiers who were ready to kill people and change their hearts and exchange their heads for money, Liu Yu finally reiterated.

"Those who shoot in advance will have eighty military sticks, and all the merits of the war, the spoils of war, and the money of the first class will not be divided."
