For a while, he called for friends, looking for a wife and a child, grabbed a Sauron soldier and looked at the weapons and armor in his hands curiously and asked which tribe he belonged to, and the whole city of Yakutsk was in chaos.

However, Aldi and Bomu Bogol and others did not bother to talk to these people, and their eyes were attracted by the various materials piled up in the large and small warehouses in the city of Yakutsk.

The two of them hastily walked around the city under the escort of their respective warriors, and when they entered the city, they were all stunned, and there were mountains of fur and grain piled up inside, which was the accumulation point of the wealth plundered by the Rakshasas......

Many of the huge houses were full of all kinds of specialties that the Rakshasas had forcibly requisitioned from the tribes in the left and near, the furs, fish, sable and fox skins, and the roe of salmon that the Rakshasas loved in the jars.

Bomu Bogol and Aldi were accompanied by a few guards, who accompanied them to inspect the warehouses where in addition to the furs collected by the Rakshasas as tribute and taxes, there were more fish used as food for the winter, and the large fish that were frozen hard were hung from the beams of the houses.

In the other warehouses, everyone was involuntarily stunned when they entered. The large and airy storeroom is full of sacks and birch bark baskets. When I opened a sack, I saw that all I had in it were golden oats and beans. I couldn't help but smile. Shouting and screaming.

There are more than a dozen wooden boxes that are locked and solid, and at the signal of the two, several warriors stepped forward, swords and axes, and split the lid of the wooden box.

The grain, meat, and swords piled up in these warehouses were far more valuable to the Sauron tribes than the furs, fish roe, and eastern pearls.

Aldi and Bomu Bogol in the warehouse were certainly overjoyed, outside the warehouse. The dozen or so Sauronites who had just joined the tribe had already been robbing the city.

A qiē thing in the city. For them, they are very rare and urgent. From iron pots to salt, from weapons abandoned on the ground to the clothes of dead bodies, and the horses in the stables, these not yet fully civilized creatures have a big appetite.

I don't know if one of them was the first to do the dazzling loot. Or the men and women of Sauron, who had just escaped from prison, were anxious to find some clothes and food to keep them warm. But. In this kind of crowd situation, as long as someone takes the lead in making the first action, it is the spark that ignites the powder keg.

In a flash. First, the rescued Sauron men and women and a dozen soldiers who had just joined the tribe, followed by Bomu Bogol and Aldi's men who also joined in the frenzied rush for the spoils of war.

Listening to the faint shouting and scolding coming from the castle, and the burning fires, Golovin hid on the sandbar of the Lena River did not know what it was like. At least twenty percent of the wealth in that castle belonged to him, or he embezzled it.

"Damn the Tunguska! Grab it! Sooner or later, I'm going to hang you all!" ”

Knowing that his situation was safe, Golovin couldn't help but wave his saber in hatred and cut down a small tree to vent his dissatisfaction.

"Lord Governor, I don't think we can hide here any longer, we should take advantage of the opportunity of the barbarians to loot and fight back and defeat them! Take back our belongings and food! ”

The guy who spoke was wearing a prison uniform, and it looked like this scumbag belonged to this group of Rakshasa scum. I think I escaped from the chaos in the prison in the city of Yakutsk. Golovin narrowed his eyes and looked at the creature he hated.

"Khabarov! You filthy stinky pig! How did you get out of jail? ”

Colonel Vasily shouted and scolded this guy who took advantage of the chaos to escape from prison.

Khabarov is a typical example of the Russian adventurers of this era.

For the sake of the wealth of the East, let this poor peasant from the countryside of the Arkhangelsk region, who was stronger than the serfs more limited, frequently join expeditions in the East, and belonged to the group of people at the bottom of the society who were not willing to be lonely.

When the legend of the riches of the Lena River in the East reached his ears, in 1632 he obtained a permit from the tsarist government and set out to explore the Lena River valley.

There's no denying that the Lena River is a blessed place for this guy. Within a few years, he not only became a salt dealer supplying the castles around the Lena River, but also cultivated his own farm and his own estate at the mouth of the Kilianga River.

In Siberia, grain is very valuable, and its value is far greater than that of fur and gold. This Khabarov can be called a master of fun farms, and he successfully planted crops in the Yakutsk region, where the permafrost is three feet from the ground, and his farm became the largest grain supplier in the Yakutsk region at that time. Khabarov also became a well-known local rich man and nouveau riche.

However, although this guy is a good hand at farming and doing business, he is a little mentally retarded in terms of human sophistication, and he does not know that the local military and political chiefs are very jealous of his salt works and farms, and that he, a farmer, obviously does not know how to engage in public relations and how to send gifts to the military and political authorities at all levels at the appropriate time to match their status.

In this way, as a nobleman, a close confidant of His Majesty the Tsar, the military and political governor of Yakutsk, Petr? Golovin, naturally, how to see how this sweaty peasant nouveau riche feels awkward. Governor Golovin, who often hung the unpaid tribute on a pork hook, was not as foolish as a writer wrote about his son, and confiscated all of Khabarov's saltworks and land unceremoniously. He was also thrown into prison on charges of theft of public property and tax evasion, by the way. Almost half of the grain seized by Ordi and Bomu Bogol belonged to the fruits of his labor.

For this guy, Colonel Vasily and Governor Golovin wished that he would die early under the sword of the Sauronians or Count Seris, but they did not expect that the truth of a thousand years of scourge is not only in China.

"You damn it! What do you want to say!? ”

"Lord Governor, you have enough food with you to eat for a few days?" Ignoring Colonel Vasily's scolding, Khabarov only made a suggestion to Golovin. "How much food can these subjects of the Tsar here, keep us through this cruel winter?"

Golovin didn't want anything else, and living came first.

"What do you want to do?"

"It's simple. My lord. Take advantage of the chaos of the Tunguska and organize a counterattack to recapture our food and wealth, as well as Yakutsk! ”

"Boom!"

A cannon rang out at the top of the city. Immediately, dozens of Saurons who had just escaped from the Rakshasa prison dropped their belongings and fell to their knees. A six-pounder shell flew down from the city. Go straight to the densest part of the crowd. There, hundreds of Saurons were huddled in a rush to get food out of the warehouse. Golden oats and beans were sprinkled on the ground.

The cannonballs smashed through the crowd, splashing countless pieces of dirt with ice ballast and blood in it. Jumping straight into the crowd, he pierced the chest of a newly annexed tribal soldier not far away, tearing his body through a huge bloody hole. The rest of the dozen or so small bullets flew sideways, jumping everywhere on the ground that was frozen hard as steel, and people were constantly being taken by these jumping little demons, their flesh and blood blurred, and their hands and legs were broken. There was even an unlucky guy who was directly taken away by half of his head by a diagonal cannonball, and the headless corpse spewed out a blood mist and fell to the ground with a bang.

"Bang bang! Bang bang! ”

A series of firebolts at the head of the city looted the spoils of war in the city, slashing wildly with the swords of the Rakshasas, and the drunken guys holding wine bottles shot projectiles in unison.

In an instant, dozens of people who were still in high spirits just now were grabbing with him, drinking the bad wine that had been turned out of the cellar of the Rakshasa people, and in the blink of an eye, his body was beaten and fell into a pool of blood, which was like ice water pouring down from his head, which made this group of guys in a state of madness wake up.

At the head of the city, Li Peiting's face was so angry that his face was full of murderous energy, and the muscles on his face were constantly twitching because of anger.

Fiercely whipped a few soldiers who were also sweating profusely and kept searching the salt and bad wine left by the Rakshasas in several warehouses, Bomu Bogol knew that this time he was afraid that he was annoying the Lord Li in front of him.

As I said beforehand, how many times I attacked the Rakshasa Castle and implemented very good rules, how did it become so pale and powerless today? How can it be unrestrained?

He was about to step forward to plead guilty to Li Peiting, when suddenly a Gilyak shouted in horror, and he pointed in the direction of the Lena River outside the city, "Rakshasas! Rakshasas! ”

Outside the city, hundreds of rakshasas with blue and gray faces, I don't know if it was because of the cold or despair, they waved huge axes and rushed all the way, and those who rushed to the front had already begun to swing their big axes and slash the city wall.

The terrifying impression that the Rakshasas have formed in the minds of these people over the years has made them feel extremely frightened. These rakshasas now have nothing but the weapons in their hands. This charge is a desperate fight, and if you win, you will regain the food and houses that can survive the winter, and if you lose, it will only be a death.

Khabarov kept agitating in the crowd to those who already knew that they had only this glimmer of life: "Brothers! Our food and clothing are in the city, without which we would freeze and starve to death in this wasteland! If you don't want to die, rush with me! ”

"Rush! Brethren! ”

The desire to survive made these Cossacks, exiles, and Tsarist soldiers really fight side by side for the first time, instead of supervising the Cossacks and letting the exiles rush to the front, as before.

Ignoring Li Peiting's guards at the head of the city, they fired downward in rows, ignoring the dense projectiles that knocked their companions to the ground one by one.

A few exiles and Cossacks, who were not afraid of death, swung their axes and cut through the gaps in the wooden walls that could only be passed sideways, so that the gap could lead to one person.

I saw all of them in the shape of bears, and their faces were blue and gray. The Rakshasa people, who were really like the demons of Shura, waved their axes and rushed into the city, and before they could fight, the captives and men of the various tribes, who had all kinds of looted booty in their arms and on their bodies, were first three points frightened in their momentum.

Escape!

These men looked at the food, clothing, salt, and wine they were carrying on their backs and in their arms, and the swords and horses in their hands, nodded in satisfaction, and immediately turned on their horses, and rushed out of the crowd, and rode away wildly.

One takes ten, and ten rolls a hundred.

In an instant. Nearly 2,000 men and women of various ministries detained in the city of Yakutsk escaped cleanly. Not to mention that they fled on their own, they also brought the tribal soldiers who had just joined the tribe with no fighting spirit, and turned around and ran away with their respective leaders.

A great victory turned into a rout in the blink of an eye.

A few days later, in that one more than 200 miles from the city of Yakutsk. Also in the newly built castle in the Lena River Valley. The head of Daur, Rafkai, waved the long whip in his hand menacingly. Whipping the culprits kneeling in the open space of the city. Everywhere the whip went, flesh and blood flew wildly. In the hall of the walled city, Li Peiting's face was covered with frost. Just fiddling with the charcoal in the hand stove, Bomu Bogol, Aldi and the others knelt upright on the ground one by one, and only heard the occasional sound of the wood burning when it was burning.

If it weren't for Li Peiting's heavy work all the way, he had to choose a place to build a camp every few days and send people to stay behind, then today these people would have been devoured by the howling cold wind and hungry wolves in this wasteland.

This castle, and the five nearby cities were under the temporary jurisdiction of Rafkai, and the Daur people of this tribe in the Heilongjiang and Mohe areas were originally eager to catch up with the marching brigade, intending to tell Lord Li the good news that they and the gentlemen of the merchant had found gold and silver seedlings nearby, but they did not want to meet the deserters of the Sauron tribes.

Seeing the rout of the people pouring in like a tide, Rafkai knew that something was wrong, so he had to temporarily gather them on the spot, so that they could be appeased, and wait for the arrival of the large group of men and horses behind.

It wasn't until Li Peiting led his guards to withdraw that everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

"Ravkai, how far is this from your walled city?" Li Peiting's tone was colder than the cold wind in the wasteland, and everyone couldn't help but feel cold to their bones.

"It's less than a day's journey."

The brigade hastily gathered the team, and Li Peiting ordered that the weapons in the hands of the more than 2,000 men and women who fled first were snatched, and their belongings confiscated, and they were imprisoned by Bomu Bogol and Ordi, and if anyone dared to resist, they were executed on the spot. And the dozen or so tribes are equally disarmed! The high morale of the people was gone, and they braved the wind and snow all the way to the city of Rafkai.

"In this battle, first won and then lost, thousands of people returned in vain, can you tell me how to deal with it?"

After fiddling with the hand stove for a while, the charcoal fire turned red, Li Peiting raised his head and looked at the few leaders in front of him, there were more than a dozen leaders who could discuss in this hall, and those people were tied to the pillars outside the door by Peiting's guards.

If it weren't for Pei Ting's guard battalion stubbornly resisting and blocking the Rakshasas' crazy counterattack, I am afraid that these thousands of people would all become prisoners of war of the Rakshasas. However, in order to snatch down the two six-pounder cannons placed on the city, more than a dozen Sauron auxiliaries fought with more than 20 Rakshasas to snatch back this offensive and defensive weapon.

In fact, in the eyes of Bomu Bogol and others, this battle may not be regarded as a defeat, although the city of Yakutsk was regained, but most of the goods and food in the city were taken out, and more importantly, nearly 2,000 young men and women were obtained from the city, which is the most valuable wealth, with these people, it is possible to further unify the nearby Sauron tribes.

But when Gui Gudar, a small leader in the Heilongjiang River Basin, said these words, Li Peiting was furious.

"Originally, I planned to drive the Rakshasas out of the Lena River completely, so that they would not dare to look east from now on! You can then fish, hunt, mine, and dig ginseng in this area with peace of mind. No, those guys outside are cowardly and afraid of war, just robbing property, although they have obtained some goods and food, but Yakutsk City is still a stronghold for the Rakshasas to invade the east! ”

After a fire, Li Peiting motioned for a congratulatory letter to go over and help the two big heads, Bomu Bogol and Aldi, and arranged for them to sit down. There was a large pot of fresh fish caught in the winter from the Lena River offered by the people of the Fish Skin Department, and it was sent to the two big leaders with a few fragrant dough cakes and two pots of hot wine.

"The official had intended to return the two thousand men and women to their respective homes. But now it seems that this generation must be trained before it can be used. Therefore, the officer intends to organize these people into twenty small flags, which belong to the two of you. The dozen or so clan leaders outside were also scrambled into ten small flags. ”

Aldi, however, had gotten over a lot of people in the trade that had prevailed with the Sauron tribe in recent years, and his interest in wealth was far greater than in the population. But Bomu Bogol is a man of some ambitions. Li Peiting's this is tantamount to handing over thousands of people to Bo Guoer, how can he not be happy?

"As far as this winter will be formed, after the beginning of spring, the old and weak will fish, hunt and cultivate in Yaxa, Heilongjiang, Aldan and other places, and I will find a way to raise the necessary seed tools for you. The young and strong men went south to find the bad luck of those slaves. ”

"Although we didn't take Yakutsk this time, it also hurt the Rakshasa people's vitality. I think they will not dare to invade eastward for a few years. The two of you will work together to train thousands of elites for your uncle. ”

The two bronze seals and confessions that had been prepared long ago were handed to Bomu Bogol and Aldi, and from this moment on, the two of them became the commanders of the guards under Ning Yuanbo.

Tong guò conducted headhunting activities for the various departments of Jiannu to train troops. It can both train the team. You can also get people and property. The captured heads could also be used to exchange all kinds of urgently needed things with Li Peiting, and the two new commanders made up their minds at the moment, just waiting for the weather to be a little warmer. Immediately waved his army south.

And in the city of Yakutsk, hundreds of miles away, as the governor of the Yakutsk Governorate District, Golovin also wanted to cry without tears. Although the castle was recaptured by luck after a bloody battle, the population of the city was lost to about seventy percent, all the women were taken captive, hundreds of young men were lost, and almost everyone was wounded.

The most important thing is that there are not many wintering materials stored in the city, such as grain, salt, dried vegetables, meat, and fish. If you are nervous, it will only be enough for these people to barely eat until the beginning of spring next year.

What's even more infuriating is that as a robber with a license, the property he has accumulated with great difficulty, sable skin, fox skin, fish roe, Dongzhu, raw gold, all kinds of valuable things, was robbed by another robber, how does this not make him angry?

However, fortunately, several of his extremely secret small warehouses are still there, and the thousands of furs and nearly 100 catties of raw gold stored in them are intact, which makes him feel a little God's storage.

After inspecting the losses, he was pleasantly surprised to find that the primary targets of these Count Seris's troops turned out to be grain, meat, and other things, and they were not very interested in those very valuable furs and other things, and the losses were only more than half.

"By the grace of God, Emperor of all Russia; Tsars and dictators in Moscow, Vladimir, Novgorod; Tsar of Astrakhan, lord of Pskov; Grand Duke of Smolensk, your faithful servant, Yakutsk military commissar Peter, Golovin would like to report to you. ”

"The Yakutsk Castle has recently been attacked by 10,000 elite guards and 100,000 Evenks under the army of the Count of the Serismin Empire."

"10,000 Count Seris's guards armed with muskets, more than forty siege artillery pieces of more than twenty pounds, carrying more than a hundred field guns, drove away 100,000 Evenks and Tunguska savages for a frantic attack on my Yakutsk castle!"

"Under the cover of a dense rain of bullets, these barbarians kept attacking me. During this period, he broke into the interior of the Yakutsk Citadel several times, and set fire to houses, churches, batteries, and warehouses, and was blessed by the Gospel of God and His Majesty the Tsar, and our loyal Russian armed forces dealt a resolute blow to these barbarians. ”

"After several bloody hand-to-hand battles, the corpses and blood of the barbarians melted the ice of the Lena River and sank into the water. The soldiers and people of our army, praying earnestly and praising the virtues of His Majesty the Tsar, suddenly multiplied in strength, and finally drove the army of Count Seris hundreds of miles. ”

"Although our army won this brilliant victory under the light of the great character of the Tsar and the divine light of God, the losses were also very heavy. Most of the taxes in kind collected for His Majesty the Tsar in the castle for several years were destroyed by the war, and there was little food left. There were less than 100 young soldiers and Cossacks in the city, and weapons, artillery, and ammunition were exhausted. His Majesty the Tsar was implored to quickly send troops to transport the above supplies to Yakutsk. ”

After writing this report, Golovin called in Colonel Vasily, who had a bandage on his arm, and ordered him to take twenty men to transport a consignment of munitions to Moscow, and at the same time give the report to His Majesty the Tsar. (To be continued......)
