Shang Kexi ran unhurriedly in front, Ivanov and his soldiers desperately chased after him, and he chased seventeen or eighteen miles, and suddenly heard a violent explosion behind him, Ivanov was suddenly shocked into a cold sweat, and instantly understood why Shang Kexi's cavalry was bitten tightly by himself, but he never accelerated the reason for leaving.

Retreat now became Ivanov's only option, but in this case the retreat was not easy, in order not to form a rout, Ivanov still chose to break off the rear himself, let the mercenaries of the younger Yermak retreat first. Yermak Jr. also understood what the fierce artillery sound behind him meant, and after receiving Ivanov's order, he began to order the mercenaries to stop the pursuit and slowly retreat back, after all, he was also an officer in the army, and he knew very well the dilemma he would face.

Hearing the explosion in the distance, Shang Kexi knew even more clearly that Zheng Sanpao's action should have been successful, and looking back at the sky-high smoke and dust rising there, he knew that this battle would definitely be won. For the slow retreat tactics arranged by the mercenary Ivanov, Shang Kexi still admires it in his heart, and admires it, but he must strike a ruthless blow to the enemy. Shang Kexi immediately ordered the cavalry to dismount, concentrated all the mortars and bombarded the mercenaries on both sides at any cost, until the shells were finished, and then there was a fierce counterattack on the whole line. Now there is no need to consider the resistance of the mercenaries, the amazing coverage density of the mortars has already made the gangs tremble, and the ferocious and superb slashing has made these bandits even more afraid, and in less than a quarter of an hour, the orderly retreat of the mercenaries has turned into a complete rout.

Little Yermak could no longer control the team at all, and the mercenaries of nearly 20,000 people were chased by 5,000 cavalry and lost the confidence to resist, and rushed towards Ivanov, who was ready to break off, without any formation. Ivanov saw that the rout was inevitable, and his formation was scattered by the impact, so he had no choice but to run back with the rout.

The trampling of the routs and the ferocious pursuit of the Shang Kexi cavalry caused the chaotic team to suffer heavy casualties, and by the time they ran back to the muddy path, the remaining troops were less than 30,000 men, and the remaining 20,000 or more were either killed or fled into the cannibalistic swamp themselves. Shang Kexi saw that Ivanov's team gradually began to assemble, and he did not dare to be careless, and slowly stopped the pace of pursuit, so as not to be desperate Ivanov's dog-like counterattack and cause too many casualties, but it only formed a threat to them from afar, making them have huge psychological pressure.

Looking at the supplies that had turned into ashes, Ivanov really had the heart to die. Except for a small amount of dry food that he carried with him, all the supplies were gone, and this time he really became a lightly armed army, so light that there was no food, looking at Shang Kexi's department far behind his team, how could he feel like a hungry wolf staring at a flock of sheep, and he could pounce on it at any time and choose an opportunity to devour. There is no longer any possibility of counterattack, the only possibility is a quick retreat, Ivanov did not dare to stay, but this remnant of the army was defeated, and quickly retreated to the west, as for how many men and horses can be left after this path, it is impossible to think now.

When Mao Wenlong received the news of Shang Kexi's complete victory, he immediately drew 5,000 cavalry from the tired soldiers, and asked Geng Zhongming to take the monk Kexi to continue to pursue the remnants of Ivanov, hoping to completely leave them all in this sad place, leaving a painful lesson for Tsar Mikhail Romanov, so that he did not dare to have any more desire to go east, and honestly retreated to the west side of the Ural Mountains.

Kong Youde's troops also united with the local tribes in the area of the town three hundred miles away to clear the wall, and did not get the news of Ivanov's defeat, otherwise they would take advantage of the situation to block the mountain pass, let alone fight, even if they held the exit and starved for three or five days without food, they would have to make Ivanov's troops surrender. By the time he got the news, Ivanov's troops were less than 20,000 men, the trees were scattered, and Yermak Jr. could no longer control the remnants of his troops, except for those whose necks were wiped off, the rest had already fled, because Ivanov could no longer care about them to eat, and they all went to find food on their own. However, the fate of the fleeing soldiers was not only to be killed by the tribe natives, but to starve to death, Kong Youde's plan to clear the field was very well done, and no matter how fierce the remnants of the small army were, they could not resist the tribal armed forces with a certain cohesion, not to mention that they had been hungry for several days.

Kong Youde's troops continued to create some difficulties for Ivanov's troops in the front, Shang Kexi and Geng Zhongming's troops stared closely at the back to launch an attack, Ivanov's troops were like peeled green onions, and they lost weight little by little, thinking about Tomsko, which was far away in the sky, Ivanov couldn't even see any hope. The few horses that were left had been eaten by the hungry soldiers, and little Yermak didn't know where to go, Chernenko had a high fever, and the soldiers were so hungry that they couldn't even walk, Ivanov took more than 10,000 soldiers to Shang Kexi and Geng Zhongming to announce their surrender, and then committed suicide by drinking bullets, which was considered to have fulfilled his responsibility.

Kong Youde, Geng Zhongming, and Shang Kexi returned to the small village on the banks of the Khorem River with more than 10,000 Russian prisoners, and Mao Wenlong ordered Zheng Sanpao to lead a thousand people to guard this group of prisoners, where to build a castle, and said that he would ask His Majesty the Emperor to name the castle Zhengbao in recognition of Zheng Sanpao's outstanding performance in this battle.

For the soldiers who opened up the territory, Zhu Youxiao of course will not be stingy with them, Zhu Youxiao even issued an order to Mao Wenlong, in the future, when he encounters a suitable place to build a castle, he will immediately build a strong castle, the stronger the better, it is best to have suitable living conditions, each castle must ensure that it can live more than 30,000 people, drive the surrounding people to migrate to the vicinity of the castle, and form an economic area with distinctive characteristics. He also told Mao Wenlong that when he built a castle in the future, he didn't even need to ask himself, and he could just name it after a general or soldier according to the size of his credit.

Zhu Youxiao's strange way of naming the new castle greatly stimulated the enthusiasm of the soldiers to fight, and in the subsequent series of battles, the soldiers all wanted to make the greatest achievements in order to get the greatest glory of the castle's name. In less than a few years, a series of larger castles were built here, including Kongbao, Gengbao, and Shangbao, and countless small village-type fortresses named after some soldiers.

These small forts and large castles form a fortress circle here, which not only makes up for the lack of population here, but also makes the industry, agriculture and animal husbandry in this area have been greatly developed, and these forts have also become a good place for people to escape the cold and rest in winter.

After the annihilation of this Russian army that was ready to seize Fort Mao, there were no longer large and formed Russian troops nearby, but there were too many bandits who fled and jumped, especially the mercenaries of Little Yermak, these are all elite bandits, they may not be able to fight regular battles, but when the troops are defeated, it is these bandits who escape the most, and they are also more adaptable to this situation than ordinary soldiers, for them, the number of escapes is sometimes much more than the triumph of victory. After the initial panic, the gang quickly adapted to the environment, and obtained enough food from the constant attacks on the local tribes, and these people became active.

In later generations, after every war, there were many bandits, and the situation at this time was not much different from that of later generations. The scattered bandits formed dozens of bandits, large and small, constantly harassing the residents of this generation, and Mao Wenlong, who had obtained the right to govern, naturally wanted to clear it, but the land here was vast and sparsely populated, almost all of them were patches of woods and hills, and it was not too easy to encircle and suppress, especially the bandits led by Little Yermak, who were cunning, cruel, and bloodthirsty, and left no chickens and dogs everywhere they went.

After several confrontations, Mao Wenlong did not take any advantage, so he was a little discouraged, and the morale of the soldiers was not high. At this moment, Zhu Youxiao's holy decree arrived, which was actually a ploy, and it was rushed in the name of the holy decree. Zhu Youxiao told Mao Wenlong about his suggestion, in fact, to put it bluntly, it was the experience of the People's Liberation Army in suppressing bandits in the northeast in later generations.

After carefully reading Zhu Youxiao's suggestion, Mao Wenlong was amazed, His Majesty the Emperor is really like a god, not only can understand the thoughts of his own people, but also can think of the thoughts of the Russians, which strengthened Mao Wenlong's determination to follow Zhu Youxiao and be loyal to His Majesty the Emperor all his life.

Mao Wenlong immediately began to organize a capable team of bandits, divided into several tribes that entered the residents, on the one hand, to organize them to resist, on the other hand, to completely cut off the possible sources of supply for these bandits, especially in winter, the warmly dressed and well-supplied Ming army bandit team was even more victorious, and finally captured little Yermak.
