When Mao Wenlong and his team reached the end of the East Sayan Mountains and reached the edge of the Yeseni River, they came across a small village, where a bloody incident was taking place. A Cossack bandit of more than 500 people was sacking the small village, there were less than 200 people in the small village, almost all the men and old people were killed, sixty or seventy women were ravaged by them, the cries and curses were mixed with the wanton laughter of the Cossacks, and the guide who led the group looked red and turned his head to look at Mao Wenlong.

Mao Wenlong looked at the guide, understood what he meant, and directly drew his saber and waved, and the soldiers of the 3,000-mountain foot cavalry battalion rushed forward. The Cossack bandits, who were looking for pleasure, saw that someone had come to interfere with their good deeds, and immediately threw away the indigenous women under them, and rode on war horses to meet them in a whole team.

Mao Wenlong is also to deter these Cossack bandits, but also to establish the impression of the Ming army invincible among the local residents, and does not let the soldiers shoot and fire, and directly carry out the most brutal hedging and killing of cavalry warfare.

Napoleon once said that one Cossack cavalry can defeat two French cavalry, two Cossack cavalry can defeat three French cavalry, 50 Cossack cavalry can only fight 50 French cavalry, 100 French cavalry can defeat 150 Cossack cavalry, and even more. This describes both the ferocity of the Cossack cavalry and their lack of the spirit of group combat. Of course, Mao Wenlong would never have heard of these words, but he knew that Zhu Youxiao's training manual said that it was necessary to maintain numerical superiority over the enemy in the way of small team operations, minimize the casualties of soldiers, and achieve the greatest results.

The opposite side charged over was a small team formation of eight people and eight horsemen per line, Mao Wenlong had never seen this formation, and he didn't know how powerful it was, no matter how powerful this small formation was, or shoot and kill according to the old method, but in addition to the immediate death of the eye and throat, the rest were blocked by the cuirass and face armor, which did not cause much damage, and in the next slashing and killing, there was an unexpected situation, because the Don hippos and Cossack cavalry were relatively tall and powerful, and the Ming army suffered a big loss, and many Ming troops were shocked off their horses, There were also soldiers with dislocated arms. Fortunately, the Xuefeng knife equipped by the Ming army was too good, and the Ming soldiers broke the bronze knives of many Cossack bandits in the process of parrying, unless it was the officer's knife. Coupled with the numerical superiority of the Ming army, in the next third and fourth rounds of collisions, the Cossack bandits suffered heavy casualties. After the front charge and killing, according to the general situation, the second whole team will be killed, but because the Ming army has a huge advantage in numbers, coupled with the fact that many Cossack cavalry have lost their weapons, the Ming army directly circled the horses and came back to surround and kill these Cossack remnants, in this disparity in the siege, the Cossack bandits were completely in a desperate situation, and the small team to cooperate with the battle was originally the advantage of the Ming army, coupled with the large number of people, the five hundred Cossack bandits were quickly annihilated.

The skirmish ended quickly, the Cossack bandits were killed, and the Ming army suffered more than 200 casualties, most of them were minor wounds, such as dislocated arms, stabbed with severed bronze knives, etc., and less than 50 people died of serious injuries. This also made Mao Wenlong feel very distressed, he had not suffered such a proportion of casualties, especially when the number of people was overwhelming. Fortunately, the Ming army brought military doctors with the team, and those simple injuries would not cause any sequelae, which was also the result of Zhu Youxiao's vigorous development of traditional Chinese medicine surgery, and each unit was equipped with a certain number of traditional Chinese medicine surgeons to treat wounded soldiers at any time on the battlefield and minimize deaths.

Mao Wenlong was in great pain, but the indigenous people who accompanied the team were really surprised, they clearly knew that as long as there were twenty or thirty Cossack bandits, a small village or small tribe of four or five hundred people would have to escape, and they would not be able to resist it at all, if these five hundred Cossack bandits entered this area, the entire nearby tribal village would probably have to be ruined, and Mao Wenlong's subordinates could kill all these bandits in a very short time, it is conceivable how terrible Mao Wenlong's subordinates' combat effectiveness is, It's a shame that I've made friends with them now.

The terrain here is not very good, but the location is very important, and the nearby population is relatively large, according to Zhu Youxiao's requirements, a castle needs to be built here. So Mao Wenlong decided to settle down here and set up camp, anyway, this small village has been basically destroyed by the Cossack bandits, Mao Wenlong began to build a castle on the address of this small village, and the captives of the Japanese people will not be able to send here in the near future, so Mao Wenlong has to do it himself.

In addition to building the castle, Mao Wenlong also sent troops to assist nearby tribes and small villages to fight these bandits, including those armed merchants. The residents, who were afraid of being robbed, were very grateful to Mao Wenlong, so they continued to move to the area around the castle in the hope of protection, and the place gradually took on the rudiments of a small town. Mao Wenlong opened up a market nearby, and asked people to send a letter to Sun Chuanting, hoping that he could send a large number of daily necessities to exchange for various local products here, and asked Zhu Youxiao for the name of this castle, Zhu Youxiao in order to encourage Mao Wenlong's enterprising spirit, directly named this castle Mao Fort, and also sent Mao Wenlong a large number of new weapons, including improved new rifles, mortars, infantry guns, and a large number of daily necessities, so that he can vigorously settle the nearby residents, Protect their safety, and tell him that he must prepare supplies for the winter, the winter here is too cold, so he simply drew a sketch according to the heating method used in the northern region in the later generations, and let the nearby residents also think about it.

Mao Wenlong carried out Zhu Youxiao's order very well, adopted a very good building method with a very good warmth effect, and built a military camp. This kind of building is actually a thick brick wall that can block the wind and cold at the back, and two layers of thick glass are installed on the front windows, which is warm and bright, so that the locals are envious, and then this building method began to be promoted nearby, of course, other commodities of Daming have also begun to be vigorously promoted in the vicinity, and the lifestyle of the residents has gradually approached Daming, and Mao Wenlong has stabilized the form of the neighborhood very well.

Winter in Siberia came very early, and just as Mao Wenlong had just built his barracks, the weather had already begun to get colder, and the nearby Cossack bandits had retreated to their castles. For the sake of safety in the coming year, taking advantage of their retreat time, Mao Wenlong took the soldiers of the mountain infantry battalion to train the nearby residents who were willing to participate in the training, and sold the eliminated firing rifles to them in exchange for their participation in the construction of the castle, and strive to build the basic wall of Maobao in the spring of next year, otherwise if a large number of Cossack bandits came, there would be great losses if there was no strong castle, including the nearby residents, when it was dangerous, they could enter the castle for refuge, not afraid of 10,000, afraid of just in case. Most people's first choice in the face of danger is to find a safe place to hide, and the second is to resist, so many local residents participated in the construction of the castle, so before the arrival of winter, the castle began to take shape. The next thing is to participate in Mao Wenlong's military training, these local residents are also bullied and scared by the Cossacks, and the enthusiasm to participate in the training is very high, who is not willing to better protect their lives. In this way, Mao Wenlong was armed with a large number of militiamen with good physical fitness, and it was these armed militiamen who helped Mao Wenlong a lot later.
