Aihui City is all in charge of the Yuanbian Hall.

When Erhe was just tied up in front of Ye Zhao, he was quite horizontal, leaning his neck, with a look of indignation, looking at his fair skin, fine skin and tender meat, he was not like the Wuyun River warrior that Bayan said in his mouth.

"Hold on, whip a hundred." Ye Zhaozheng didn't look at him, sipping tea and studying the topographic map in his hand, now the Rakshasa people are cowering in various strongholds in the lower reaches of the Heilongjiang River, and the most outpost is naturally the Seagod Mountain City, which once broke Zhao Jingzhong's department, and there are always one or two thousand elite troops and Cossack soldiers gathered, and a fort was built.

And now the border tribes everywhere have received their own strict orders, not to trade with the Rakshasas, and their food supplies are heard to come from the eastern sea, presumably from the book.

In the south of Sakhalin Island, there are fishermen living in Sakhalin, but I don't know if Muravyov has signed a contract with him to share Sakhalin Island, but the Rakshasas buy grain from the islands in the northern part of the Sea.

If this supply line can be cut off by itself, the Rakshasas will only have to sue for peace, but unfortunately they don't have a few fishing boats, but they can only think about it.

Just when Ye Zhao was pondering, Erhe was brought up, and when he saw Ye Zhao's eyelids without raising his eyelids, he asked someone to pull him out and whip himself, Erhe's lungs were about to explode, he had never been so humiliated in his life, and shouted loudly: "Jingxiang!" Don't you know what to do......" Before the words fell, the little soldier next to him was so angry that he dared to call the general's name? Isn't that boring? "Papapa" A few big mouths were pumped up, and blood foamed in Erhe's mouth when he pumped it.

Erhe never dreamed that a small soldier would dare to beat him, and he was stunned by the beating, and his face was hot and painful.

Ye Zhao raised his eyes at this time, waved his hand, and said, "All the whips are one hundred, and Aihui City will be left as a military slave!" ”

The small soldiers immediately "chirped", and then pushed Erhe and the others out like wolves and tigers.

Ye Zhao turned his head to look at the topographic map again, until Sava didn't know where to come out of nowhere, and stood next to him for a while, before he whispered, "Hungry." But in Chinese.

Ye Zhao turned his head in astonishment, only to find that red candles had been lit in the hall, and a dark curtain had fallen outside.

Shawa looked at herself with blue eyes, making Ye Zhao cry and laugh, but she was really relieved, she ran to beg for food when she was hungry, how did she feel similar to the little poodle she raised in her previous life?

However, Ye Zhao himself was also hungry, but he didn't realize it just now, so he got up and said, "Then let's go, go eat!" ”

Sava seemed to understand, and immediately became elated, running in front to lead the way, but it was a familiar road and went straight to the restaurant, Ye Zhao was even more stunned, this nerve is too big, right? He has been a man for two lives, and it is the first time he has seen such a master.

…… When Suna came to report Lan Yu's visit, Ye Zhao was reading the Spring and Autumn Period in the study, quite a little leisurely and elegant, but in fact he was drowsy. At noon, you should have taken a nap, didn't you?

Sava moved a chair and sat beside Ye Zhao, fiddling with Ye Zhao's jade wrench with great interest.

There's no way, I haven't touched her for a few nights, it seems that Sava also knows that Ye Zhao is not a bad person, and now she likes to follow Ye Zhao the most. I don't blame her, I am alone in a foreign country, I want to be lonely and afraid, but the two banner women have no good face for this Yi girl, and occasionally they are with Priest Made, and the soldiers they meet are even more fierce on their faces, which makes her shudder, and she still has a sense of security by Ye Zhao's side.

Ye Zhao reads books, but she chatters non-stop, popping out a few Chinese bytes from time to time, but she learned from Priest Made.

Ye Zhao thought she was nagging, so he gave her the jade wrench in his hand to play, and then Sava quieted down, and put Ye Zhao's jade wrench on her slender and slender fingers, comparing the size, but having fun.

In fact, there is such a blonde and blue-eyed little beauty talking by her side, Ye Zhao is not bored in his heart, people always have lonely times, and it is normal for people to attract different surnames, although she has nothing to think about Sava again, but she is nagging around her, which is quite interesting.

It's just that what makes Ye Zhao funny is that Shawa has the Chinese spirit of being at peace when she comes, but she eats and sleeps well, and she is energetic every day.

Suna knocked on the door and entered the study, and accidentally saw that Sava was stretching her waist, and the body that almost broke through the cheongsam made Suna stunned, and hurriedly turned her head, her heart was pounding.

"Sapphire has arrived? Okay, I'll meet him when I go out. Ye Zhao got up with a smile, and Shawa also hurriedly stood up, ready to walk with Ye Zhao, Ye Zhao gestured: "You, stay." ”

The communication between the two gradually became tacit, and Sava knew what the occasion was when she couldn't go by looking at the gestures, so she had to say a few words, as if she was protesting, but she had to listen to Ye Zhao's words and obediently sat back in the chair.

…… Lan Yu was twenty-seven or eighteen years old, born with a graceful and graceful appearance, and was the third son of a Doro county king in the capital, the county king died of illness, and Lan Yu's fourth brother attacked Dorobelle, but Lan Yu's title was just a Fengguo general.

However, unlike the first meeting with Ye Zhao a few months ago, Lan Yu was very affectionate this time, and when he saw Ye Zhao enter the flower hall, he greeted him with a smile, held a hand salute, and gently touched Ye Zhao's shoulders, and said: "Little prince is auspicious." ”

The title of this little prince is only shouted by Ye Zhao's closest friends, after all, Ye Zhao is not the prince, theoretically speaking, if Fujin has another elder brother, and the prince is partial to him, then Ye Zhao may not be able to attack the lord.

However, although Ye Zhao was surprised in his heart, his face did not show himself, and he smiled: "Third brother, what kind of wind blew you here?" "Self-called affectionate.

Lan Yu's eyes widened, and he scolded with a smile: "Still treat me as an outsider!" Why do you say I'm here, I'm not an Erkhina bastard? What about his head? I'll take it back to show his sister! ”

Ye Zhao really couldn't guess Lan Yu's thoughts, and while asking Lan Yu to sit with tea, he said: "Erhe's crime is extremely evil, I whipped him a hundred, and now he is still recuperating from his injuries, and after the injury is healed, he will stay in Aihui City as a military slave for life, and please don't blame the third brother." ”

Lan Yu frowned and scolded, "Why didn't you smoke him to death!" ”

To say a hundred lashes, it is not uncommon for a weak person to die of an untimely death.

Ye Zhao picked up the teacup and tasted the tea, but he was thinking about his intention.

Lan Yu sighed at this time and said: "Little prince, let me tell you the truth, when you first came to Guanwai, I really looked down on you as a third brother, the brothers in the capital are all bastards in my eyes, just like the fourth child of our family, driving an eagle to play with birds and smoke opium, it will please the old man." Where will there be a war? ”

"At that time, I thought, our elder brother of Prince Zheng's family is fighting with the Rakshasas, aren't you messing around? I think the land outside the gate is going to be given to the Rakshasa ghosts. But I didn't expect that the little prince was actually a genius in the sky, and the famous generals of the ancient times were just like that, it was only a few months? And many victories? It's because I have no eyes, and it's no wonder that I offended last time! ”

He said sincerely, and as he spoke, he stood up and gave up his hand for a long time, and said: "Lan Laosan bastard, you have made amends to the little prince!" ”

Ye Zhao got up and avoided it, and said with a smile: "The third brother is too exalted to be me, I dare not be." "If you want to know people, Ye Zhao never rubs sand in his eyes, such as Ye Mingchen, a feudal official who has been rolling in officialdom for decades, was drunk by Ye Zhao when he was in crisis on Hong Kong Island, he was angry at the time, and after thinking about it, he went up to cover up for Ye Zhao, and made the rich and good a depressed. This also relies on Ye Zhao to know Ye Mingchen's surname a little, and prescribe the right medicine.

And now looking at Lan Yu, Ye Zhao can also feel that he is afraid that he is also seven or eight sincere in what he says.

Lan Yu over there smiled again: "The little prince must have thought that I came to intercede for Erhe, but that was wrong, Erhe's bastard, I can't wait to cut off his head myself, and the border people have handed over their furs, which is a permanent system, and my three surnames and deputy capitals also have silver hair, but they are mixed by this bastard, it seems that I have bullied the border people!" Although I, Lan Laosan, am also a bastard, but I can also distinguish the priorities of the matter, the little prince is fighting with the Rakshasa people with a knife and a gun, how can I dismantle your platform behind my back? messed up military affairs, and I don't have the face to see my ancestors! ”

Ye Zhao nodded slightly, but he didn't want Lan Yu to really be an understanding person, but it was not like his first impression on him.

Lan Yu said arrogantly: "Little prince, if there is any dispatch in the future, as long as you have a letter, you want food and food, and you want soldiers and soldiers, Lan Yu has nothing to say!" ”

Ye Zhao smiled: "Thank you third brother, but I'm afraid that the third brother will be embarrassed in front of his sister-in-law, right?" ”

Lan Yu laughed, a little sneering, scratched his head and said: "I won't hide it from you, it's fierce, but you didn't cut off the bastard's head, it can be regarded as saving face for the third child, and I have a way to treat her when I go back." ”

Ye Zhao liked Lan Yu's surname more and more, and said with a smile: "Third brother, just call me Jingxiang." ”

Lan Yu waved his hand again and again, and said, "I can't help it, you will definitely be the son of the world in a few years, do I have to change my mind then?" It's meaningless to call it anything, it's important to know your heart. ”

Ye Zhao was about to say something more, when there was a sudden sound of hurried footsteps outside the side hall, and a messenger hurriedly entered the hall and said a thousand words: "Report!" The Rakshasa Brigade of Poseidon City went out of the city and came to Aihui! There were more than 1,000 people, about half of the musketeers, and a quarter of the cavalry, and there was still a distance of one and a half miles from Aihui. ”

Ye Zhao was stunned, Poseidon City is the castle adjacent to Poseidon Mountain at the forefront of the Rakshasa people, I don't know what the name of the Rakshasa people themselves is, the new legion Yongdu called it Poseidon City.

Why did you suddenly come out of the nest? This is not Muravyov's style.

Lan Yu opened her mouth wide in surprise, there was still a day and a half to go, and this message had arrived? Outside the gates, there is no beacon to transmit warning signals. Even if there is a beacon, how can the number of people on the other side be described in such detail?

He didn't know what kind of flag language Ye Zhao would use, such as the flag, the news, the tree, the clairvoyant mirror, the whistling of birds, and so on, and there were intelligence points every few miles, and if there was any trouble between Poseidon City and Aihui City, he couldn't escape the monitoring of the intelligence officers.

Aihui City, could it be that Aihui City has something they want to get? Is it a menacing build-up of troops to attack?

Ye Zhao's mind was racing, and he immediately thought of his "blue-eyed pet", is it because of her?

But no matter why, it gave me a great chance. Ye Zhao pondered for a while, and immediately said: "Order, the second battalions of Zuojiang and Youjiang will join the regiment to train each of them to attack Seagod City, and the three battalions of Zhenwei Zhen and Zhenwu will quickly assemble in the Qingshi Forest!" ”

The messenger was ordered to go at once.

Lan Yu sighed and said, "I wanted to have a good time with the little prince, but the little prince was busy with military affairs, so Lan Yu didn't bother!" Looking at the expression, I deeply regretted it, after all, it took two or three miles to come to Aihui from Yilan, which was quite inconvenient.

Ye Zhao smiled slightly and said, "Why should the third brother leave in a hurry, it's okay to go with me to watch a big show." ”

Lan Yu's eyes lit up, and he said, "No, it won't hinder you, right?" ”

"No way!" Ye Zhao got up with a smile and said, "Let's go, go make Rakshasa dumplings." ”

Lan Yu was overjoyed and said with a smile: "Okay, let's see the little prince's might!" ”

…… Bluestone Forest, the distant river bay is full of ice, when Ye Zhao and Lan Yu came to the Bluestone Forest under the escort of the pro-army, the soldiers and men were digging tunnels in the woods, and there were crowds, there were always one or two thousand people.

Gangan and Peter quickly caught up, while Jimpo, Harwich and others were free to oversee the soldiers preparing for battle.

When Peter first arrived outside the gate, he was not adapted, and he failed to participate in several major battles, and now he is still sick, and his face is pale without a trace of blood, but he has already admired Ye Zhao's admiration of the five-body surrender, and almost saw Ye Zhao about joining the new army, but now the war is urgent, so naturally it will not add to the chaos.

Gang'an whispered beside Ye Zhao: "My lord, a sentry has been sent to snipe the Cossack cavalry five miles away. ”

Ye Zhao nodded slightly, the Rakshasa brigade, there must be a small group of Cossack cavalry in front of the road, and this post is a decoy, it will be discovered by the Cossack cavalry, and it will fight with the Rakshasa brigade, and finally it will be defeated, luring its brigade to pursue.

Ye Zhao pondered for a moment and said: "The suspicious team dug the ditch and ordered the long-term team to send a batch of rejected horses to fight bravely!" The longer you hold out, the better, taking care to annihilate the opposing cavalry. "Otherwise, when the rout is charged, the opponent's cavalry will charge, I am afraid that this hundred people will all die under the opponent's iron cavalry. And the longer they hold on, the heavier the blow to the Rakshasas, the more the other party will think that they are ambushes.

"Yes!" Gang'an agreed, and hurriedly went to give the order.

Only then did Ye Zhao turn his head sideways and say to Lan Yu: "Let's go, find a place where a stray bullet can't hurt us!" The new soldiers who followed Ye Zhao all knew the temper of the little prince, and they all smiled, but who dared to think that the little prince was greedy for life and afraid of death?

After coming to a mound, Ye Zhao took out another crumpled cigar, and the boat that sent cans from Shanghai would always bring him several boxes of cigars. And now a cigar before the war has become Ye Zhao's habit.

Following Ye Zhao's side, Lan Yu could clearly feel the coercion of his orders and the admiration of the generals and soldiers, looking at the indifference of this young brother who was only in his early twenties and smoking silently, Lan Yu didn't feel a little strange in his heart, what did this bright rising general star in the northern frontier of the empire portend?

When the gunshots sounded faintly in the distance, it was the dark night, and Lan Yu got up as soon as he was excited, stood on the mound and looked northeast, and could not see anything else in the dark curtain, only a faint fire.

Turning his head to look, he saw Ye Zhao's serious face, Lan Yu didn't feel strange, and asked, "Little Prince, is there something wrong?" ”

Ye Zhao shook his head slightly, but he was just relieved when he heard the gunfire gradually extinguish, and then he heard more violent gunshots, and the people and horses neighed endlessly.

As soon as night fell, the Cossack cavalry, who wanted to come to the other side, found an ambush and was about to retreat, but found that the ambush was not numerous, so they notified the brigade to prepare to annihilate the ambush by calling a whistle.

It's just o'clock, seven or eight o'clock, and there are still more than ten hours before dawn, how can the sentry Yong support it? If they are defeated in the dark, I think the Rakshasa brigade will not pursue.

Gang'an soon hurriedly ran over, standing beside Ye Zhao, without squeaking, he naturally thought of the same problem, waiting for Ye Zhao to decide.

"Go tell them to take it down! The Zhenhe battalion is ready to respond. "Ye Zhao doesn't know how to gamble, these are all elite soldiers who have experienced a hundred battles, even if they support it for ten hours? I'm afraid that if there are not a few people left, then this kind of ambush will be meaningless.

"Wow!" Gang'an turned around, summoned the herald and said a few words, and the herald quickly got on his horse and galloped away.

For more than half an hour, the gunfire gradually thinned out, and the ambush soldiers withdrew from their positions, and the Rakshasas did not come to chase.

After more than half an hour, the herald came on horseback, dismounted beside Ye Zhao and Gang'an, and said, "The Rakshasa people have set up camp. ”

Ye Zhao smiled slightly and said, "It's on the mound." The terrain map in this area is very detailed, and Ye Zhao also knows that the Rakshasa commander will definitely choose to camp on the condescending mound.

"Yes!" The herald soldier was full of admiration, and said that the handsome man was really clever.

Ye Zhao pondered for a while, called Gang'an, and said with a smile: "Let's not fight an ambush, I'm afraid we won't be able to wrap Rakshasa steamed dumplings here." ”

Gang'an is also a little discouraged, and the plan to lure soldiers has failed for no reason, and it can only be said that people are not as good as heaven.

Ye Zhao said with a smile: "This Rakshasa dumpling, only let's go over and eat it, otherwise I'm afraid we won't be able to eat it." ”

Gang An said: "Night attack? ”

Ye Zhao said with a smile: "It's a night attack, but the Rakshasa people must be on strict alert, so let's have a tired battle." ”

…… Colonel Romanov, the only son of a Grand Duke of Petersburg, said goodbye to his father and came to the East after hearing that the expansion of the empire in the East had encountered resistance from the Chinese, and he wanted to get rid of his father's shadow too much, and the resistance of the Chinese was so weak, he was convinced that in the Far East, the power of the empire would not be threatened in any way.

But he was wrong, as soon as he came to Petropavlovsk, he heard that the shipyard on the Shilka River was attacked by the Chinese, nearly a thousand soldiers and civilians were slaughtered, and then, the expedition of the emperor [***] on the east bank of the Amur River was attacked by the Chinese one after another. They are well-armed, full of ammunition, and even more mysterious and unpredictable, and it seems that any Emperor [***] team operating outside will be fatally attacked at any time.

Gradually, the expansion of the empire had to be gradually stopped. All the people of the empire cowered in the castle that had been built, and they could not stop in fear.

What is even more unexpected is that a few days ago, a powerful family coat of arms from Petersburg was discovered, and the family coat of arms was on a broken carriage, and near the carriage, there were still several dead guards.

Colonel Romanov immediately knew that this was his fiancée, and she was going to invite her to participate in a trip to the Amur River, which the Chinese call Heilongjiang, but who knew that the war was becoming more and more unfavorable, and he had already written a letter to Petersburg to warn him, but judging from the decomposition of the bodies of the slain guards, she should have left Petersburg before the Battle of the Shilka River took place, otherwise she would not have taken only a few guards on the road.

Romanov immediately learned that his fiancée must have been taken by the Chinese to the city of Aihui, the residence of the Chinese marshal who trembled the people of the Far Eastern Empire.

Thinking that his fiancée fell into the hands of the Chinese, Romanoff woke up in a nightmare almost every night, knowing that if he did not look like a man again, he would never be able to raise his head in front of his father in this life.

It was he who defied the strict orders of the governor of Muravyyok, gathered troops, and prepared to fight to the death against the Chinese, and the imperial soldiers and Cossack warriors who had been holding back in the castle for a long time immediately burst into an earth-shattering roar of joy, thinking of that inspiring moment, Romanov is still enthusiastic.

Turning his head and looking at the soldiers sleeping with guns in twos and threes around him, Romanov suddenly thought that what if he led them to death?

No, it won't. Romanov shook his head, trying his best to shake off the frustrating and frightening thought.

Suddenly, the shouts around shook the sky, the sound of horns, and the sound of drums and iron tools called gongs unique to the Chinese, which made Romanov stand up sharply, and the night was dark, and he could not see the situation in the distance around him.

"Prepare for battle!" The soldiers ran back and forth, occupying the firing terrain, the officers shouted loudly to gather the soldiers, and the Romanov also drew his short fire and lay down on the mound, and some soldiers were already slamming fire.

However, the imaginary Chinese offensive did not come as expected, and the sound of trumpets and gongs and drums gradually subsided.

"Sentinel!" An officer shouted loudly for the sentries to go to reconnoitre, but soon there was a bang of gunfire below, and several sentries fled in embarrassment, while the other sentries lay in the ice and snow forever.

"Sir, let's rush out!" The Cossack warrior Doroshenko rode on his war horse. But Romanov's cautious character told him how unwise it was to charge in the dark against an unknown threat.

"Wait until dawn!" The Romanov gave the death order.

The sound of trumpets and drums seems to sound violently every quarter of an hour, and this kind of noise made by the Chinese is so harsh, and the depressed people can't breathe, but they know that the Chinese are disturbing the war, but thinking of being close to the Chinese, who can sleep?

The morning light gradually came, when he could finally see the Chinese hundreds of thousands of miles away, Romanov was stunned, southeast and west, all three sides, were dug out of the long trenches, the Chinese all hid in the trenches, can only see the muzzle of the black hole outside the trench, Romanov then knew that the Chinese are so cunning, this night's noise is not just to disturb them, but to dig trenches as cover.

"Sir, let's rush north!" Doroshenko also found out that only the north did not have Chinese trenches.

Romanov's mind went blank for a while, and he was inexplicably surrounded, while the other party waited for him to charge with a look of leisure.

Northern? The Romanovs would not have believed that the cunning Chinese would allow them to return safely to the castle, and in the north there must be more dangerous traps waiting for them.

Look at the edges of the trenches on the east and west sides, full of slippery wooden horses, this unusually old instrument, which, in conjunction with the musketeers, can deal the greatest blow to the cavalry.

Romanov's gaze gradually became firm, pointed to the south from afar, and said loudly: "Doroshenko! Let's go to the Chinese's Aihui City as a guest! Good no good?! ”

Doroshenko touched his scorched beard, his brown eyes burst out of a strange color, and he raised his swords in the air: "Cossack warriors!" Aihui City is ahead! Let our horse's hooves trample over the Chinese's diminutive bodies and let our long knives cut their strange braids! Warriors! Launched! ”

"Ulla!" The Cossack cavalry raised their swords and carbines, and the cheers shook the sky.

"Attack!" Doroshenko's waist knife pointed sharply forward, grabbed the horse's belly, and rushed out first, and immediately the Cossack cavalry rolled out like a whirlwind, bringing up a cloud of snow.

The sound of "bang bang" guns was so dense, dense and deafening, like the roar of artillery, on the position of the southern Chinese, a dense number of human heads suddenly appeared, a row of guns fired, the Cossack cavalry fell from their horses one by one like puppets, and even more war horses were shot, screaming and falling, throwing out the horse cavalry, and being trampled on by countless horse hooves rushing behind.

The Cossack cavalry that rushed to the front fell one by one, but they went forward one after another, getting closer and closer to the Chinese positions.

"Rush!" The Romanovs finally gave the order for a general attack, and the imperial soldiers and Cossack infantry warriors poured out, and the Chinese fired farther with their firearms, but if they could rush close and engage in white-knuckle combat, they would definitely be able to defeat the [***] team.

Several war horses saw that they were in front of the trench, and suddenly a bunch of civilians dressed as people on the Chinese position came out, I heard, called "Changfu", countless wooden and iron tied shelves were pushed against the edge of the trench, rushing to the front of the war horse could not retract, "bang" hit the wooden frame, throwing the horse knight out, thrown to the other side of the trench. Doroshenko was among them, he had just struggled to get up, and he was immediately shot in the chest and abdomen, bursting out of several bloody holes, but as if unconscious, he jumped into the trench with a steel knife, and split the head of a soldier in half with a single knife, and then he was stuck with four or five bayonets in his body, and he staggered and fell.

This Cossack butcher, who is said to have performed a hundred beheadings with Chinese border people, walked so strongly.

"Bang bang bang", the gunfire became more and more intensive.

Finally, Romanov felt that something was wrong, it was impossible for the Chinese to ambush on all sides but there were so many musketeers gathered on one side, only afraid that there were one or two thousand musketeers in the southern trenches.

Unfortunately, it was too late, the dense platoon of guns did not seem to stop, and when the Cossack cavalry was left with only a few dozen bare horses fleeing aimlessly, the muskets began to inflict a devastating blow on the charging infantry, and it was obvious that the dense infantry rushing behind was easier to aim than the galloping Cossack cavalry.

"Withdraw!" The Romanov yelled, but the Imperial soldiers were further confused, and the soldiers who heard his orders and those who did not begin to crowd together, falling in the sound of gunfire.

(To be continued)
