Hearing Wang Liqian's words, Yuan Chonghuan and Chen Si realized that Zhu Youxiao had already planned the Northern Expedition to Russia, and after reading the booklet prepared by Wang Liqian, the two of them affirmed the idea in their hearts, otherwise, the information of Dongchang would not be so accurate.

"Your Majesty, according to the secret report of Dongchang, the Russians' power in Xipol is extremely weak, and it is the best time for the Northern Expedition to Russia, and the minister thinks that after the summer next year, only 5,000 troops and 30 artillery pieces can be taken." Yuan Chonghuan said.

"It's not difficult to take, but how to hold it?" Zhu Youxiao said, "After the end of the Northern Expedition, the Russians will definitely increase their troops in Xipol, and there will definitely be a fierce battle at that time." ”

"The capital of the Russians is tens of thousands of miles away from Yakutsk, and it is certainly impossible to send a large number of troops into Sipol, and the Russians cannot afford the logistics alone, and the minister thinks that defense is not a problem, and the Russians are worried that the Russians will invade the rest of the empire." Yuan Chonghuan said.

"What Yuan Aiqing said is extremely true, the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion must start to prepare, the war between the Ming and the Russians is different from the past, it may last for several years, in view of the methods of the Russians, I ask the team to abandon the so-called benevolence and morality, all my race, except for women, I don't need a living mouth." Zhu Youxiao said coldly.

"Commandment." Yuan Chonghuan and Chen Si said.

……

In mid-to-late August, the Manchu Qing Dynasty's eastward voyage to the Americas was already the last flight, and Xu Xinsu had already helped Dolgon transport more than 160,000 people. There were still more than 300,000 people in the three divisions stranded in Sipol, and it was almost impossible to transport the remaining people to the Americas until the next year, and Mangui's army had been closely following Dorgon's army.

Dolgon decided to fight the Ming army before the last transport, knowing that if he left, the remaining 300,000 men would fall into the hands of the Ming army like lambs to the slaughter.

"Everyone, then the sea will freeze, the plan to cross east to the Americas will be suspended, everything will have to wait until June next year to start again, now the thief is biting us, if we can't completely defeat the thief, then we can only retreat to the sea, then all of us will die, and now we can only fight to the death to win the last ray of life for our own family......," Dolgon said impassionedly.

The situation that Dolgon said, everyone understood, and the battle against the tide made the people of the three departments burst out with great determination. There was no need for much mobilization at all, and the three of them were all as young as twelve years old, and as old as fifty years old, and Dolgon formed an army of nearly 100,000 men.

On 19 August, Dolgon led an army of 100,000 to a decisive battle with Mangui's army of 50,000. The battle between the two sides began at the beginning of the day. This battle was the final decisive battle of the Northern Expedition to the Manchus, and both sides were very cautious at first. But this caution did not last long, and most of the soldiers on Dolgon's side came with the determination to die, especially the young men in their early teens, who could easily be killed.

"The dog's life seems to be his own." Some soldiers of the Ming army muttered.

"Yes! I've never encountered anything like it. The man next to him responded.

"Don't speak, keep an eye on the front, especially if there are thieves crawling on the ground." At this time, the flag commander admonished.

The Manchu soldiers' fearlessness led them to do everything they could to get close to the Ming army, and they also found that crawling on the ground could greatly avoid casualties.

After more than half an hour, the artillery of the Ming army finally completely suppressed the artillery of the Manchu Qing Dynasty and was able to control the scene. However, the Manchu soldiers had already rushed to the front of the Ming army twice and inflicted casualties on the Ming army.

But the greatest losses of the Ming army were the dragoons, and whenever the Manchu soldiers approached the Ming formation, the dragoons would be dispatched to prevent the Manchu cavalry from approaching the infantry formation.

And the most consumed are grenades, the grenades of the dragoons have almost been depleted, and now the grenades in the hands of the infantry are already being collected.

"My lord, according to our current rate of consumption of grenades, our army can only support the end of the day at most."

"What about the artillery?" Man Gui asked.

"In this weather, the artillery can hold up longer than usual, but the consumption of ammunition and water is very large. The Manchus were like crazy. ”

"It seems that the Manchus have been driven to a dead end, otherwise they would not be so crazy." Man Gui said.

"My lord, why don't you temporarily force the momentum of the Manchus?"

"Wait a little longer, until noon." Man Gui looked at the sky and said.

"No."

……

The Manchu people's offensive was like a tide, wave after wave, and although the soldiers below were not afraid of death, it did not mean that everyone in the upper tribal leaders was like this.

Bomu Bogol had already retreated at this moment, "Lord, it's only been less than two hours, and more than half of my Sauron Department has already been killed and wounded, and if this continues, all of our people will be folded here." ”

"Can't retreat, the thief relies on the advantage of firearms, although the loss is smaller than ours, but it is also broken, and our army is now like a rainbow, the thief will lose this battle." Dolgon's tone was unmistakable.

"Lord Wang......" Bomu Bogol said unwillingly.

"Whoever dares to retreat will be killed!" Dorgon said coldly.

At this point, Bomu Bogol did not dare to say more, so he had to return to his position.

"Nexsai, you go and keep an eye on Bomu Bogol, if he dares to take half a step back, he will be killed!" Dolgon looked at Bomu Bogol's back and said coldly.

"Wow!"

……

Bomu Bogol was very dissatisfied with Niexai's arrival, he understood that Niexai was here to spy on him, but he held back the anger in his heart and intensified his offensive against the Ming army.

As time went on, before noon, both sides took out their final hole cards. More than half of the Manchu side has been killed and wounded, and the Ming army has been killed and wounded more than 30%, this war is the most brutal war since the Ming and Manchu wars. But neither side collapsed, the Manchus fought on their backs, and the Ming army relied on harsh military discipline to maintain it.

"My tribe's losses have exceeded seventy, I really can't fight anymore, if I don't retreat, I have to retreat, I want to leave some seeds for the Sauron Department." Bomu Bogol finally couldn't hold on anymore.

Nexus just smiled slightly, and without hesitation, he took out his horse pistol and shot it at Bomu Bogol, without saying a word from beginning to end, which made Bomu Bogol have no time to react at all.

"Bomu Bogol intends to escape from the battle, and according to military law, he should be beheaded. I'll be in charge below, and if anyone doesn't accept it, this is the end. Nexus said coldly. Nexus's decisiveness shocked the people of Sauron's tribe.

Nexus looked around and said, "Behind us are our wives and children, and no one is allowed to take a step back." ”
