Chapter 149: The Battle for Fort Mao (3)

The plan was implemented as soon as possible, and Mao Wenlong's team began to plan to transfer the nearby indigenous people to Maobao. This generation of tribes is also harassing Cossack bandits, hooligans, etc., too hard, as soon as I heard that Mao Wenlong allowed them to enter the city for refuge, and as long as they helped build the city wall, they could also take care of the whole family's food, what a good thing! All of a sudden, more than a dozen tribes rushed to hear the news, first set up tents on the edge of the city, helped move stones, dig stones, and transport stones, all of them were very diligent, after all, this is also their place of refuge in the future, and more importantly, Mao Wenlong is full of food, which is a rare thing in this era.

In fact, the policy adopted by Mao Wenlong was like a fortified wall in later generations, so that those bandits who tried to feed the war with war would lose the source of supplies, and then cause them to take risks or retreat. It seems that this also belongs to the category of economic warfare, of course, there is definitely no such term now, which shows that the wisdom of the ancients is also very high. In addition to the tribes within a hundred miles of the vicinity are migrating to Maobao, and the three hundred miles in the southwest and northwest directions have also begun to migrate to the east, the things of these tribes are very simple, they are originally in a nomadic state, and it is very easy to migrate, and the total is less than 300,000 people, and Maobao leaves a part of it, and the rest goes east and leaves here for two hundred miles.

Having lost the object of robbery, those Russian Cossack bandits, hooligans, and serfs began to worry about eating and drinking, and even some began to move to the outskirts of Mauburg. In this way, the activities of the scouts under Mao Wenlong immediately became more efficient, and the source of these people was slowly investigated. Especially after capturing some prisoners, under the torture of these ruthless people, no one can hide any secrets, whether it is the origin of these people, or how many forces are involved in this harassment activity, as well as the purpose of these people, the route of travel, these scouts are clear.

It turned out that the supply location of these people was in a small village 150 miles to the west, which was a small distribution center for supplies, and in addition to some local residents, there were also many merchants who had made their home here. There are about four or five thousand of these bandits and hooligans, all of whom are assembled here, and assigned tasks by a bandit leader named Yuri Kochakin, this Yuri Kochagin is a mixed Russian and Ukrainian race, and even some Dutch blood, this guy is brutal and bloodthirsty, fierce and cunning, that is, after he made a plan to plunder, the bandits began to harass and loot.

At this time, the logistics supply convoy sent by Sun Chuanting arrived, and the mighty 500 carts all stayed in the east of Maobao. Not all of these migratory tribes are good people, and there are many bandits who try to fish in troubled waters and rob while the fire is burning. Mao Wenlong's detectives naturally know this, and they also need these people to perfect the implementation of Mao Wenlong's plan, so that the real and the false can deceive the opponent.

After the remaining veins of the East Sayan Mountains, to the west is a large swamp grassland, of course, there are some small hills, there is a special area in these places, that is, the trail on the side of the mountain, one side of the mountain and the other side of the swamp, after Mao Wenlong and several subordinates through several studies, set a careful plan, decided to use this batch of materials as bait, lure this gang of bandits to rob, and then wipe them out, so as not to keep making noise and annoying.

The specific plan is to rely on this path to set up a lure plan, first send part of the troops to block the path, let Yuri Kochakin's bandits know that the Ming army is prepared, and wait until Yuri Kochakin's large army attacks, and then make no support, and slowly retreat while blocking. Then, in the easternmost part of the open area, a large number of hand-cranked machine guns, mortars, and cavalry were ambushed, and most of their forces were surrounded and annihilated here in one fell swoop, and then a unit was sent to make a detour from the west side of the road, completely blocking the retreat, and striving to completely annihilate this wave of bandits.

Yuri Kochakin, who was stationed in a small village and town, also received a large amount of supplies from the Ming army, and had the intention to continue this big deal, but he was also worried that he would be ambushed by the Ming army, and he would not be able to steal chickens and rice, and he was very entangled in his heart. Not all of his subordinates were obedient, but he was the most powerful among them, and everyone recommended him as the commander-in-chief this time, and the supplies in the rear were very small, mainly relying on their own raids. The Ming army's policy of clearing the wilderness has brought him a lot of trouble, and he has been fighting because of food problems in the past few days, which has given him a headache.

Soon he didn't have a headache, and there was good news from the rear, and Chernenko, the Stroganov family who hired him, sent someone to deliver the news that 10,000 Russian troops with some supplies would arrive soon, so that he could rest assured and boldly harass the Ming army in Maobao. Chernenko did not know that a large number of supplies from the Ming army had arrived, and Yuri Kochagin was depressed about this piece of fat that could not be eaten in his mouth.

Both sides are making preparations, as if they are taking advantage of each other, Mao Wenlong can't ambush the team there all the time, he can only let them prepare in the barracks, and the action to find out the news is even closer. When the news of the other party's troop increase came, Mao Wenlong judged that Yuri Kochagin would definitely not be able to suppress his greed, and he would definitely come to rob, especially the news that the reinforcements only brought part of the provisions, which confirmed this idea even more.

When Yuri Kochagin saw the so-called reinforcements, he even had the idea of crying, more than 10,000 troops, who are they? Not only is there no discipline, there is a mess, even the weapons are varied, those who can carry a musket are considered good, and some even use hoes for hoeing the ground as weapons, are these people fighting? It's probably about the same as the one who came to grab something. Just when Yuri Kochakin's anger was thundering, it was finally someone again, not bad, this is a regular army of 5,000 people, muskets, artillery, armor is distinct, and the leader is a Cossack cavalry brigade commander Tchaikolov, which is quite imposing, which gives Yuri Kochagin a little confidence.

After the whole team was completed, the team practiced for three days to cooperate, and then it was officially ready to start. Tchaikolov did not want his team to act with these rabble, Yuri Kochagin made him the vanguard, but Tchaikolov was still unwilling, he thought that which farmers were not worth his life for them, it was better to let these people take the lead, consume the following their numbers, and give them less in the end. As a result, this sentence played into the hands of Yuri Kochakin, so the group of farmers formed a team of more than 10,000 people became the vanguard, followed by Tchaikolov's 5,000 regular soldiers, and in the middle Yuri Kochagin with his more than 10,000 bandits.

A vast team of nearly 30,000 people rushed towards Maobao, Mao Wenlong, who was accustomed to fighting more with less, did not care about the number of enemies, all he cared about was how to win this battle, and the elite soldiers who reconnoitred had already found out the composition of these Russian troops, Mao Wenlong sent 10,000 people sent by Sun Chuanting to form the center of the firepower attack, and his own 5,000 men and horses were used to block and detour. Geng Zhongming took 2,000 men and horses to go around the back of the hill to the back of the enemy in advance, and then Shang Kexi led 1,000 men and horses to ambush directly on the mountain, Kong Youde took 2,000 men and horses to block the attack, and he was responsible for the overall command. As for Zhu Youzhen, Mao Wenlong asked him to take his 4,000 men and horses to guard Maobao, in case a group of people who missed the net attacked Maobao, it would be troublesome.

After the arrangement was completed, the first to set off was Kong Youde's men, his task was heavier, because it was necessary to master the strength of the blockade and ensure that the 10,000 people led by Mao Wenlong were ready to position, too early in case the Russians found out, it would not be possible to fight an ambush, once a chaotic battle was formed, the Russians who occupied a large number of people might get cheap.

Kong Youde's 2,000 men rushed towards the way of the Russians, and found a ridiculous thing. They had almost walked fifty miles, and had not yet seen the Russians, who were obviously undisciplined, marching as slowly as snails, making the Ming troops waiting to lure them anxious.

However, when this team appeared, Kong Youde was startled, and it was actually discharged for more than ten miles This is much longer than the preset ambush position, and it is necessary to think of letting them concentrate some, so as not to enter the ambush circle all. Therefore, Kong Youde asked the soldiers to prepare for a long time to block the attack, and when the group of peasants approached, they began to shoot with their rifles at a distance of about sixty zhang. But Kong Youde discovered a terrible phenomenon, seeing the companions next to him falling, and the farmers who did not fall seemed to have no feeling at all, still running forward with their heads down, shouting trumpets in their mouths.
