Chapter Seventy-Eight: The Thief of the Green Forest
Then the deer tribesmen rushed to the front to pick up the dead snow leopard, and at this moment, the Rakshasa Cossack musketeers in the distance had already raised their pishaw arquebuses and quietly aimed at them, only to hear (bang, bang, bang) dozens of lead bullets hit the heads of the three middle-aged deer men, frightening the people behind the deer tribesmen.
At this time, the chief of the deer tribe, Wo Song Nala, stood up and commanded the tribesmen to shout, "Jurchen language: my people should not panic, quickly pick up the weapons in their hands, and everyone will work together to meet the enemy." The encouraged clansmen drew their bows and put their arrows on the Xuan to aim at the snow in front of them, and the elder, Vitnoa, commanded, "Jurchen language: release!" In an instant, hundreds of neat arrows were scattered all over the air, and quickly fell and stuck in the snow, and ten Rakshasa Cossack soldiers were shot in the eye, and they covered their eyes in pain and shouted, "Rakshasa language: Ah! ~My eyes hurt so much! ”
This made the Tsarist Yakutsk overseer next to him hurriedly use sign language to direct the Tsarist Russian Cossack soldiers to transfer their positions, so that the deer tribesmen quietly approached when they learned the enemy's firing position in front, and they did not want to be surrounded by the Russian Cossack soldiers who had gone around their left flank to take the opportunity to swing the mortar, and adjusted the muzzle of the cannon to quickly reload the shell ignition (boom) to the deer tribesmen who were bent forward, and after being attacked by artillery fire, the deer chieftain was shocked, and he did not think that the enemy was actually carrying artillery, Moreover, this kind of artillery has a certain moisture-proof effect, so that it will not be affected in any way in the snow, and on a closer look, it is found that the enemy is actually a Rakshasa?
Frightened, the Lube chief shouted in surprise: "Jurchen language: there are Rakshasa people attacking, everyone be careful!" As soon as he finished speaking, a cannonball hit him, killing the chief of the deer tribe on the spot, which angered the surrounding people of the deer tribe, and the fierce men of the deer tribe drew their bows and shot arrows at the enemy.
Under the leadership of the Minister of the Deer, he picked up his spear and rushed to the enemy, but they were all strafed by the Rakshasa Cossack Torchmen, and all the people in front of the Deer tribesmen were shot down on the snow, and the people in the back were a little frightened and stopped, and the Tsarist Yakutsk Overseer saw this and sent a Russian interpreter to come forward and say, "Jurchen language: The people of the Deer tribe on the other side listen, lay down their weapons and quickly come out and surrender, we are specially here to collect taxes on the order of the Tsar, as long as you obediently become our people, Pay your taxes on time, and we will keep you safe. ”
Hearing the Rakshasa people on the opposite side shouting this sentence, the implication was to let them surrender to the Tsarist Empire, and after repeated hesitation, the deer minister decided to surrender, but he put forward a condition to the Rakshasa people, that is, the tribe did not move north, and still had to live in this land, followed by only tribute, but the Tsarist Russian Empire must not interfere with them privately, and learned that the deer department made this request, the Tsarist Yakutsk overseer temporarily nodded and agreed and bypassed this tribe and came to the border of the Jurchen tribe in Beishan, This tribe had already surrendered to the Qing court as early as the first year of Chongde in the Manchu Qing Dynasty and became a vassal state.
Moreover, because the Beishan Jurchen clan has the family bloodline of the Mengyuan Empire, the combat effectiveness is relatively strong in Eastern Siberia, and the only drawback is that there is no cavalry! This is because the Qing court forbade their tribe to have cavalry in order to prevent the Beishan Jurchens from being too powerful and threatening the Jurchens of the East China Sea. After all, they have three tribal branches, both; Kuwu, Kuye, and Jiri fans are divided into (infantry sword players, archers, spearmen, treasure hammer hands, and water divisions) respectively, and the entire Beishan Jurchen tribe has a total of 180,000 people.
The main thing is that they are strong and will not give in easily, and for the Russian Cossack army, which has only more than 100 people, the pressure to conquer them is particularly great, and it can be said that a head-on battle is simply to send them to death.
Everyone stood on the top of the high ice cliff and quietly looked at the "Black Bear Totem" hanging high in the tribe in the distance, revealing a helpless look, and then the Tsarist Yakutsk Overseer thought of the old saying in the Central Plains (salute first and then soldier), and he said to the soldiers around him, "Rakshasa language: Although we can't beat them at the moment, we can yield to them?" Let's pretend to pass by here to go to the Qing court to trade, rest in their tribe, and find a way to catch their chieftain, aren't we afraid that they won't submit to us when the time comes? …。 ”
At the same time, Wu Junzhen and Ma Wei on the other side climbed up from the moat outside Xi'an Mansion, Wu Junzhen took a big breath and spit out a lot of river water, and patted Ma Wei's back to make him spit out a few mouthfuls of river water, and then the two leaned on the bank, Wu Junzhen said: "It's over!" Xi'an Mansion was attacked by the Liukou in this way, where should we go next, Brother Ma? Ma Wei analyzed the situation and thought that after the last attack in Hanzhong Mansion, the strength of the defenders was no longer enough to resist the Liukou, and Qingyang Mansion had no garrison and could not resist the Liukou, only the Guyuanwei in Pingliang Mansion and the nearby Yulin Wei could still fight with the Liukou, not to mention that Pingliang Mansion was backed by Ningxia Qiwei and the forces were relatively strong.
So the two decided to go to Pingliang Mansion, but because the North Road area was guarded by the Liukou army and it was difficult to advance, they could only take a detour to Fengxiang Mansion to the north, and the official road leading to Fengxiang Mansion was quite stable along the way, and there was no situation, and they soon came to Fufeng County.
As soon as he entered the city, Wu Junzhen immediately ran towards the post station, but the horse Wei who was chasing him behind him was tired enough, Wu Junzhen used the only 10 taels of silver left on his body to buy two good horses for riding in the post station stable, and then returned to the post house and ordered a side dish for the two to enjoy. "Originally, Ma Wei wanted to say that the unpalatable ones were just some vegetarian dishes, no meat and no soup! But seeing that Wu Junzhen kept staring at him, he thought he cared about his appearance, so he said that it was okay!
However, what happened next immediately shocked him? I saw Wu Junzhen pick up a few vegetarian vegetables and eat them, and said, "Just now I used all the silver on my body to buy two fast horses, Brother Ma, do you still have silver taels on you now?" Hearing this, Ma Wei was dumbfounded as if he had been struck by lightning, he stopped his chopsticks, opened his mouth wide, looked at Wu Junzhen, and asked, "What!" Have you spent all your money? Really? Don't play such a joke on me! ”
And Wu Junzhen replied with a serious face, "No, no, no, Brother Ma, you heard me right, I really don't have a copper plate on my body!" Whether you can reach Pingliang Mansion or not depends on you, Brother Ma! ”
Ma Wei heard this and began to get nervous, he calculated in his heart that his silver taels were only 2 taels of silver, so Ma Wei was very heartbroken but there was no way, after paying thirteen copper plates to the shopkeeper, the two went out and rode fast horses and continued to hurry to the Jingshan area, where the scenery is more beautiful, the pine trees are all overgrown on the mountain, there are many birds and animals, and when riding a horse, you can also see a group of egrets flying in the air, and there is a clear river flowing down from the mountain not far ahead, When Mavi saw water, he wanted to stop his horse and decorate it to drink.
Seeing this, Wu Junzhen also stopped his horse and walked over to fill the water, he gently held the spring in his hand to drink, and then looked at the sky comfortably on the grass and said, "Brother Ma, you said that if we are not in the war era now, what are you going to do first?" As soon as the words fell, Ma Wei, who was full of water bags, said, "If there is no war, then I will definitely travel all over the country to experience the customs and customs..." Before he could finish speaking, a dart (whoosh) flew over, just puncturing Ma Wei's water bag!
He was so angry on the spot that he opened his mouth and scolded: "Who is putting the hidden weapon?" Come out! I can't spare you, sir. After scolding a few words, I saw more than a dozen people in coarse cloth clothes rushing out of the woods, pointing knives at them and saying, "Oh, I drove this road, I planted this tree, and I want to live from now on, and leave it to buy road wealth." "Seeing this group of robbers rushing out of the woods, are they here to rob themselves? This made Ma Wei cry and laugh, he turned to look at Wu Junzhen and said, "Brother Wu, this group of people will be handed over to you!" I thought he would stand up and fight with the robbers, but Wu Junzhen stood up and had a croaking stomach, and he didn't have any strength to fight the robbers.
This made Ma Wei very embarrassed, he knew that with his kung fu, he might be dismembered by them before he finished beating the robbers! Therefore, he chose to deal with the enemy, only to see Ma Wei nervously gesturing with his hand and saying, "Come on!" Do you have the ability to go one-on-one? The leader of the robbers mistakenly thought that the other party had some guts, so he agreed to send a tall and mighty one-eyed dragon robber, brandishing a double axe, and rushed forward quickly to cut Ma Wei, so frightened that Ma Wei hurriedly hid behind Wu Junzhen, but was pulled by him to run into the woods, and the two were chased into the forest by the robbers, and they began to lose their strength as they ran!
But when he turned around and saw that the robbers were still chasing, Ma Wei asked, "Brother Wu, weren't you quite capable of fighting before?" Why are you afraid of these little thieves now? Wu Junzhen immediately replied: "In the past, they were all enemies, "Liukou and Jiannu", and they were just robbers, and they were also the people of the Ming Dynasty, if I hurt them for no reason, I wouldn't be able to do it!" ”
At this moment, the leader of the robbers, who was running ahead, shouted, "Hurry up and release the arrows!" I saw that the robbers quickly picked up the arrows and put them on the bow and arrows, and shot at them (whoosh, whoosh, whoosh), and Wu Junzhen was stunned in an instant! He thought he was going to be separated from this world from now on? But it backfired, and I don't know where to fly a plank? Just blocked in front of Wu Junzhen, and suddenly white smoke spread out, blocking everyone's sight, Ma Wei slowly fainted to the ground, and Wu Junzhen also felt a little dizzy? But he vaguely saw that a man wearing a hat, wearing a black costume and a cloth on his face appeared in front of him, and helped them to walk away...?
