Boyakov saw that the young and handsome commander of the Don Army opposite him had a smile on his face after listening to the words of the translator.

"General Wu, you have to know......" Wu Zhuang waved his hand, signaling that Boyakov didn't have to say any more.

"Boyakov, the general just wants to ask you one thing, our army is preparing to take the city of Yakutsk, will you cooperate with our army's actions?" Wu Zhuang asked him coldly and directly.

Listening to Wu Zhuang's words, Poyakov's face changed greatly, his mouth was wide open, and he could almost stuff an egg.

And all the Russian businessmen in the urn city were also extremely shocked, and they looked at Wu Zhuang with a cold look with their overwhelmed eyes.

As a mercenary leader who was accustomed to doing evil, Boyakov was not unaware of the hostility that had been deeply hidden under the polite and enthusiastic appearance of the Don Army in the past few days.

And the obvious sense of alienation shown by the translators in the past few days made Boyakov feel even more different.

In his heart, he already intuitively felt that these Tang troops were likely to have other intentions for him. He also thought of many possibilities, and even thought that these Tang troops composed of yellow-skinned monkeys would meet with Qian Yankai and rob the goods of Russian merchants, but the only thing he didn't think about was that these yellow-skinned monkeys were so bold that before the Russian Empire provoked them, they actually had the ambition of encroaching on Yakutsk, Russia's largest and heaviest stronghold in the Far East.

To use an inappropriate analogy, it seems that I was going to go to a neighbor's house to steal chickens and dogs once, but I didn't think that this neighbor who was dealing with him for the first time actually wanted to take his own life, which is simply appalling!

"General Wu, you, you're joking.

Cold sweat oozed from Poyakov's forehead, and he stammered and replied: "You must know that the Russian Empire is extremely powerful, and if you want to attack the strongest and most important city of Yakutsk in the Russian Empire, I am afraid that you will eventually be destroyed by hitting a stone with an egg."

“

"Nonsense, the general only asks you, are you willing to lead the way for our army and help our army to capture the city of Nayakutsk?

Wu Zhuang's words were very cold. Sweat beaded from Poyakov's forehead, dark blue eyes blinked, his throat swelled, but he couldn't speak.

"Speak quickly, Ben's patience is limited." Wu Zhuang frowned and asked. Suddenly let out a howl like a beast, Poyakov strode forward, slammed past a unprepared Don soldier in front of him, and ran towards the hidden outer gates. A 4-meter-long spear that was thrown with a roar quickly caught up with him. The cold and sharp tip of the steel spear with a deep blood groove pierced into his back at once, and then penetrated straight out of his chest, bringing up a large cloud of blood mist. Boyakov let out a terrible howl, his legs weakened, he knelt on the ground, and with one mouth, blood rolled out of his mouth.

"Boom!" A white light flashed, and a Tang soldier, with a sharp waist knife in his hand, slashed through, and Poyakov's huge and stout head immediately rose into the air, rolled in the air a few times, and rolled to a corner.

The headless corpse, still spurting blood, fell limply, never moving again. In real history, this Russian villain, who killed countless local natives such as the Dahu and Jurchen tribes in Heilongjiang, was finally killed by the Tang Army in this temple street fort, ending his life of crime.

The Don soldier, with a calm and indifferent face, walked over, picked up Poyakov's bloody head, held it in both hands, and respectfully presented it to Wu Zhuang.

In the entire urn city, there was a dead silence all of a sudden. All the Russian merchants turned pale and looked terrified, barely believing what they were seeing.

Mikhail, the leader of the caravan, trembled even more with his legs, and the flesh on his face was trembling. These yellow-skinned monkeys are so vicious and cruel, they kill people at every turn, and they don't leave any room at all, they are really cruel.

They are not human at all, they are the embodiment of the devil! With a few soft bangs, a foul smell of human excrement began to fill the urn city.

Wu Zhuang smiled secretly in his heart, it seems that some of these Russian businessmen have been scared. What a fighting nation, what a brave and good fighter, in the face of such a fierce and fierce death, it is not the same cowardice.

"I ask again, who else refuses to cooperate with our army?" Wu Zhuang's words were calm and calm, but among the Russian businessmen, it was like a thunderclap.

Mikhail threw himself on the ground, knelt on one knee, rested one hand on his chest, and said loudly: "General Wu, we Russians respect the strong and respect the strong, as long as you can spare the lives of our people, we will definitely do our best to serve you." Seeing Mikhail taking the lead, the rest of the more than thirty Russian businessmen also knelt on the ground and said words of allegiance.

Wu Zhuang laughed, the smile of the Tang Army commander was cheerful and hideous.

"Excellent! Ladies and gentlemen, rest assured, as long as you can serve our army loyally, then our army can absolutely guarantee your life, and our army will never embezzle your goods. Moreover, after the capture of the city of Yakutsk, our army will not stop you in the future, and you will wait for your own convenience. Wu Zhuang threw Boyakov's head away and replied with a sneer.

Seeing that the Russian merchants were already convinced, Wu Zhuang ordered to exchange their commercial goods for luxury goods such as silk and cigarettes produced by the Tang Army, so that everyone could feel at ease.

Sure enough, Mikhail and the others, seeing that Tang Jun was talking and talking, approved their own trade actions, and could still trade fairly and generously, suddenly the hearts of the people were reassured, and the original fear and anxiety were greatly reduced.

In the temple street fort, after two more days of preparation, Wu Zhuang led the army to officially set out for the northern expedition to the city of Yakutsk.

This day is the third day of the seventh month of the fourteenth year of Chongzhen. The main commander of this expedition is Wu Zhuang, the mayor of Anton Town, and the deputy general is Chata, the deputy commander of the A battalion of Anton Town.

Ilgen Kyoro. Chata, the former white flag general, since joining the Tang Army, has been loyal and conscientious, and with his exploits along the way, he was promoted from the original general commander of Xingzhong Town to the deputy commander of the A Battalion of Andong Town.

In this expedition, there are 3,060 sentry horses in Camp A and B in Andong Town, as well as 1,000 Lumi soldiers, 500 heavy infantry in the rampant team, 500 flying harrier cavalry, and 500 auxiliary soldiers in Andong Town, forming a concise and concise expedition team.

Then, with the Russian caravan as the lead, it headed north to the city of Yakutsk. The reason why Wu Zhuang did not bring too many soldiers and horses was to consider that this time it was a sneak attack, and in order to take it by surprise, the troops should not be too many, and second, because of the long-distance attack, if there were too many troops, the pressure on logistics supply was too great, so he only brought more than 5,500 soldiers and horses to go.

These Russian caravans, mixed in the Flying Harrier hussars, implemented the measure of keeping an eye on one person by nearly ten people, so as to prevent people from escaping on the road.

As for Miaojie Fort, Feng Shuangli, the deputy mayor of Andong Town, one of the five tiger generals under Zhang Xianzhong, led his troops to garrison it.

Wu Zhuang made an appointment with him, and if the city of Yakutsk was successfully captured, then Feng Shuangli would arrange 1,530 sentries and horses of the A battalion A and C in Andong Town, with about 1,000 auxiliaries, to escort a large number of ordnance baggage.

It is guaranteed that after the city of Yakutsk is taken, before the heavy snow closes the road at the end of September, it can be supported until April next year, and for most of this half year, the Tang army and soldiers can be stationed with peace of mind.

In the middle of summer in Northeast Asia, the sun is shining and everything is full of vitality.

The army marched, the iron flow was rolling, the banners were dazzling, winding and long, and the entire army was like a long gray-black snake crawling on the path, silently marching all the way to its own goal.

Mikhail, the leader of the Russian caravan, lowered his head and looked dead, walking with Wu Zhuang, the main general of the Tang Army, all the way with his horse, like a frosted eggplant.

"General Wu, these are all wild wilderness, no one for thousands of miles, in my opinion, our army can maintain such a formation now, but when we reach the outside of the Aldan River, there is a patrol team of the Russian army, and our army marches like this, but the target is too eye-catching." The translator is expensive, and he cautiously reminded on the side.

Wu Zhuang smiled slightly: "Our army is going here, it is a very risky move, it is a last resort, after arriving at the Aldan River, the main general will make other arrangements to carry out strategies, Mr. Bao, you can rest assured." "The whole army set out from the Temple Street Fort, stayed overnight all the way, walked through the mountain paths, crossed the Outer Khing'an Mountains, crossed the Mucha River and the Uchul River in New York, and finally crossed the Aldan River after more than 20 days, and camped on the north bank of the Aldan River to rest.

Along the way, except for five or six soldiers who accidentally fell into the cliff and died in the Xing'an Mountains, the rest all arrived here, so the journey was relatively smooth.

When I arrived here, I could already see from a distance the extremely vague figure of the city of Yakutsk on the right bank of the Lena River, which was as small as a streamer in the northwest.

At this time, although many officers and men of the whole army were tired, these soldiers who had been strongly brainwashed were still in good spirits and momentum.

After arriving at the south bank of the Aldan River, Wu Zhuang ordered that the whole army should be divided into two divisions and act separately after eating and resting on the spot.

The front was led by Chata, with 500 rampant infantry who had been disguised as local natives, and 100 flying harrier cavalry who had also been disguised as natives, and continued to march towards the city of Yakutsk.

At this point, everyone understands how Wu Zhuang's plan was arranged. That is, with these 500 rampaging infantry, and these 100 flying harrier cavalry, a total of 600 troops, they will go together to attack the city of Yakutsk, take advantage of the chaos, and the rest of the people will advance slowly, estimate the time, and when the rampant general army begins to seize the city, they will also quickly rush to the outside of Yakutsk, so as to break through and enter the city, and finally completely destroy the defenders in the city and capture the city of Yakutsk.

"Chata, the heavy task of capturing Yakutsk City this time will be handed over to you." Wu Zhuang patted Chata on the shoulder and encouraged him in a deep voice.

"Mayor Wu, don't worry, I, Chata, will fight to take the city and will never disappoint your expectations." Chata replied loudly.

Wu Zhuang nodded, then turned his head to Mikhail, the leader of the pale Russian caravan, and said: "Mikhail, I won't say much else, I hope you can cooperate with our army to capture the city, otherwise, Ben will take your life, it will definitely be easy." Mikhail listened to Bao Yuangui's translation, and nodded his head like a chicken pecking rice.

"Don't worry, General Wu, we know what to do. At this point, we really have no way back. Mikhail squeezed out a smile and said.

Wu Zhuang stared at him for a long time, then nodded slightly. So, Chata and his entourage, disguised and disguised, escorted the dejected Russian caravan to the vast wilderness, and walked for more than an hour before finally coming to the Yakutsk castle.

Approaching, Chata and others saw that this is located on the right bank of the Lena River Yakutsk City, about four miles in circumference, the city wall is high, open the front and back two city gates, the city wall is about eight zhang high, the cannon emplacement, perforation, pheasant moat and other measures are readily available, it is indeed a very steep city.

It can be seen that the Russians have indeed made great efforts to rectify the city of Yakutsk and make it the first important stronghold in the Far East.

And this, the appearance of the city, not like the square or rectangular castle in Chinese mainland, but presents a polygonal shape, which is an unprecedented castle style, and under his city, there is no moat, but outside the city, many horses are placed.

"Battalion Commander Cha, this Yakutsk City is a common fortress in Europe, but it is very different from the city in my Huaxia country." The bag on the side made you expensive and introduced in a low voice.

Chata sighed and asked, "Why is this fortress built in such a shape, but it is completely different from the city in my Ming Kingdom?"

Bao Zhigui said with a smile: "Battalion Commander Cha, this fortress is an improved style of European castles, from an original square city, changed to a polygon with mixed bumps, making it difficult for the attacking enemy to attack from only one side, while the defending soldiers can use crossfire to carry out multiple strikes on the enemy." This kind of castle, as far as I hear, was invented hundreds of years ago by Italy in Europe, and was only later learned by European countries. You see, this Yakutsk castle also has a watchtower made of large bluestones, so that the garrison of the entire city is more three-dimensional, and it can more effectively attack the enemy army who want to attack the city.

Chata nodded, and had a preliminary understanding of the fortress. At the same time, he was glad in his heart, fortunately he had come to sneak attack, if he wanted to storm such a strong castle, I was afraid that it would be really difficult to take it. The group marched and came to the east gate of the city of Yakutsk. Chata brought the horse close to Mikhail, with a sharp knife against his waist, and on the other side, there was another flying harrier cavalryman, also with a knife against his back, so that Mikhail looked frightened, and under the attack of the two of them, slowly went to the east gate of Yakutsk. The rest of the Russian caravans, also on horseback, were carried by two Tang Army Flying Harrier cavalrymen disguised as natives, both with knives against their backs, forcing them to move forward slowly.

"Haha, Mikhail, you're finally back! I thought you were fascinated by the indigenous women there and didn't want to come back. A man who looked like an officer in a brown military uniform happened to be at the gate of the city, and when he saw Mikhail and the others returning, he laughed and greeted him.
