Soray and the Evenks were the first to rush into the village of Nikchu, and every Evenki hated these Russian greats. But the hounds of the Yakuts came first, passing them and pounced on the panicked Cossacks.

The Evenks are a new enemy, and the Yakuts have an old hatred with the Russians, they originally lived in Xipol, but with the eastward advance of the Russians over the years, they had to move south and lost their old homeland.

At this time, when the enemies met, their eyes were red.

Yakutian dogs are not only good helpers for hunting and sledding, but also for fighting. They galloped like the wind, fierce as wolves, and these dogs were so large that they stood tall enough to be guarded against even a fierce Cossack in the present embarrassing situation.

Screams erupted, and one after another Cossacks were pounced on and bitten, and could only scream.

Soray held the Longhan Yuannian rifle that had been stuck with a bright bayonet, and angrily aimed at a Russian who was running out of bullets and was scrambling to reload them.

The Longhan first year rifle belongs to the Han army's current rifle, the flintlock rifle is rifled, and the whole gun is equipped with a bayonet more than six feet long. This rifle is characterized by its fast rate of fire, its length, and when equipped with a bayonet, it is still an excellent infantry spear.

The musket in the Cossack's hand was still an arquebus, which was much inferior to the Han rifle. At this time, Russia also began to be equipped with flintlock muskets, but flintlock muskets were more expensive than arquebuses, so the amount of flintlock muskets was small. The Cossacks, such as the eastward expeditions, were armed with only a small number of flintlock muskets, and they were more often armed with two pistols each.

However, in the round of shooting just now, the Russians had already shot out of one long and two short, and then they could only shoot while loading.

Faced with Sorey's bayonet, the Cossack's hands trembled more and more quickly, and the more he slowed down. In a hurry, most of the gunpowder was spilled outside the barrel.

"Hah!"

Soray learned to shoot with Li Xin. I also learned the bayonet white-edged tactics of the Han army, a stab, bright bayonet has been stabbed at the Cossack, the Cossack hurriedly took the gun to block, but he underestimated the power of Sorey's bayonet, the bayonet was not blocked, continued to advance, and pierced his chest fiercely.

With a strong twist, Soray lifted his foot and kicked the Cossack in the abdomen, pulling out the bayonet.

He didn't look at the guy again. With a blood-dripping bayonet, he rushed down to the next big Russian nose. The man was not yet dead, but a fierce dog had already rushed up and bit down on his throat, and as soon as the dog shook its head, the throat of the badly wounded Russian had been bitten out, and he could not die anymore.

More soldiers of the expeditionary force rushed in behind, each with a rifle, and when they saw the Russian big nose raise their hand, they continued to rush down with bayonets.

Five thousand against two hundred. Completely crushed.

The gunfire gradually faded away, and the Russians were powerless to resist after the stockade was broken. Their arquebuses and pistols did not have time to reload, and they were overwhelmed by the tide of expeditionary soldiers.

Hounds, muskets, pistols, bayonets, bows and arrows, steel knives and even artillery.

There is no mercy. There was no hesitation.

Many Evenks had already begun to clean up the battlefield, and with steel knives and axes in their hands, they neatly slashed the Russians, dead or alive, as soon as possible.

In fact, Li Xin does not need these heads. It is impossible to bring these heads back to the Central Plains to ask for merit here, not to mention that the Han army does not use the head to judge military merits.

However, not cutting off the heads of the Russians does not seem to be enough to appease the hatred in the hearts of the Tunguskas.

Finally, I took an inventory. There are not just two hundred, but more than two hundred Russians in Nikchuzhai.

More than 200 people were all killed, and Li Xin originally wanted to keep a few prisoners for interrogation, and even bring some back to Beijing to sacrifice prisoners in the future. But seeing that the subordinates started so quickly, he didn't bother to stop it.

"I guess there are two companies of Russian Cossacks here."

"It must have come from Yakutsk in the north."

Sorey and Agdi watched as the soldiers carried the heads of the Russians to the outside of the village and piled them up, sitting in the snow and smoking tobacco leaves.

There were not many Russian people in Sipol at this time, and it could not even be said that it was Russian troops, but only a semi-official expedition of mercenary adventurers. But they had quite a few fortified forts in Sipol, most of them not large, but there were quite a few. However, Sipol was too vast after all, and many of the forts were far from each other.

For example, Yakutsk, as they call it, is the base camp of the Russians in the east of Sipol, on the Lena River, but it is still two or three thousand miles away from Nebuchu.

A company of Russians is generally about 120 men, and both in numbers and equipment lag far behind the Han army. However, compared to the Tunguska divisions, they are much stronger, they are in Yakutsk and other places, and even have some artillery.

But this team, although it was the size of two companies, was obviously only an expedition team, and it may have come to Nebuchu so far away by mistake.

The Aoluguya tribe of Agdi, who used to live in the area of Yakutsk on the Lena River, had to move south when the Russians came. At that time, they were very afraid of the Russians, and these Russians had guns and cannons, and they could not resist them.

But now, these Russians are headless under their swords.

"Relieve your anger!"

Li Xin called the Han people who could build the city, "Jingguan, can you build it?" ”

Those people smiled when they heard this, and when the battle was fought, they watched the battle from behind, and it was very lively. At this time, I finally had the opportunity to show my skills, "Of course, no problem." ”

"Then build a Jingguan, stand between the Erguna River and the Nebuchu River, and carve another monument!"

Kyokan is not simply piling human heads together, but mixing human heads and mud together to build a ziggurat-shaped tower.

For several city builders, the city will be built, and it is very simple to build a Beijing view, which is just more shocking, but it does not have much technical content.

Call in the Tunguska warriors, dig up the earth from the river, then boil some water, use mud as a binder, and build up the human heads layer by layer.

There are only about 200 heads, and soon Jingguan will be built.

A few craftsmen still felt that it was a little too regrettable, and there were too few Russian heads, only about two hundred, even if a lot of soil was added. But it didn't make much of a big deal.

Fortunately, they also used the headless corpses of the Russians, and put the heads on all sides, and filled them with headless corpses and dirt, which made Jingguan a little bigger.

The two hundred heads were built up one by one, and the faces were still retained, and after the base was finished, the cold water was poured on it again, so another layer of ice was added to the outside of Jingguan, and suddenly. Jingguan is like an ice sculpture.

Several craftsmen summed up, since the scale of Jingguan is too small, then set up a larger stone monument.

There are many people who are easy to do, so they got a big stone, and then asked Li Xin to personally write a few big characters.

"Zhenruo Monument! On the second day of the third month of the second year of Longhan, Li Xin of the Hanxipol Expeditionary Force led his troops to annihilate the Russian bandits who invaded the territory and erected a monument to remember. ”

The craftsman carved these words, and then erected the stele next to the Jingguan, which can be seen from a distance from the Shilka River and the Nebuchu River.

The Saurons of Nebuchuzhai, who had been captured and enslaved by the Russians, were saved. They still haven't figured out who saved them.

The expeditionary force included tribal hunters not far upstream, many of whom had come to Nebuchu to trade and knew the people here. After they explained to the Nebuchu people, the old patriarch Debuku heard that it was the Han Chinese from the south who rescued them. It's hard to believe.

"Thank you to the Han, thank you, thank you to the Han people, thank you Yakutia people, thank you Mongolian people, thank you to the people of the Deer tribe"

Debuku was so excited that he didn't know what to say. These days, it's like a nightmare. In winter, the Jurchens came to give orders. They are required to pay more taxes, more mink and jerky. and make them all into oxen records, and take the young men and women to war.

Later, the Yelei leader of the Sauron tribe and the Bomu Bogol of the Sauron tribe were unwilling to be squeezed and prepared to move west to hide, but the Jurchens sent troops to pursue and suppress them, and the Sauron tribes had no choice but to resist and fight.

The Nebuchu also sent their young men to the Heilongjiang River to fight the Jurchens, but shortly after the men left, a group of Russian robbers suddenly came from the north along the Nebuchu River and raided the stockade.

If it weren't for these A's rescuers, they would be finished.

"It was precisely when we received a letter of help from the Sauron brothers that we organized a joint reinforcement from all the tribes to the east from Lake Baikal."

When he heard Li Xin say that they were coming from the east of Lake Baikal, he was shocked in his heart, it was more than 3,000 miles away.

"The Han people are too benevolent."

Debuku hurriedly said at this time that they had also paid tribute to the Ming Dynasty in the Central Plains, but because the distance was too far away, the road was blocked, so the tribute was cut off.

"Answer, now the Central Plains is not the Ming Dynasty, but the Han Empire, the Han Dynasty Zhaojian, my emperor Shengming benevolence and righteousness."

Debuku didn't expect to make a fuss, and the Central Plains had actually changed dynasties. Although they also traded with nearby tribes and were more well-informed than ordinary forest tribes, after all, the Han Dynasty had only been established for more than a year, and they did not know the detailed changes in the Central Plains.

When he heard that although the Han Dynasty had been established for more than a year, it had already made the Mongol tribes submit and defeated the Jurchens one after another, and now the Jurchens had lost all the territory south of the Xiaoxing'an Mountains to the Han Dynasty, he was more and more shocked.

I didn't expect Dahan to be so powerful.

Even Beihai is already the territory of the Han Dynasty, and the Yakutia, Evenki, Buryatia, Maomingan and other tribes in the west have actually become part of the Han Dynasty.

However, seeing with his own eyes how easily they annihilated more than 200 powerful Russian bandits, Debuku also fully believed in the strength of the Great Han.

"What happened to the war with the Jurchens in the east?" Li Xin asked?

"It's bad." The old patriarch of Debuku shook his head helplessly.

Originally, not all the men of Nebuchu went east, and only some of them went at first, but when the war in the east became tight, he sent people back and took all the remaining men.

"We have lost several battles in a row, and the Jurchens are very strong, with heavy armor and muskets and even cannons, our stockade can't stop their cannons, and our leather armor can't stop their muskets."

Under the introduction of the old man Debuku, Li Xin almost understood the battle situation in Heilongjiang.

Originally, in the middle and upper reaches of the Heilongjiang River to Beihai, it was the Solon tribes dominated by the Evenks. The Sauron tribes were originally Evenks, but outsiders often refer to the Oroqen and Daur tribes that live together with the Evenks in this area as Sauron.

These people are all Tungusic tribes, speak roughly the same language, and live together.

These Sauron tribes mainly live in the upper reaches of the Heilongjiang River and the Jingqili River in the north of the Yangtze River, in the area of the Outer Khing'an Ridge and the north of the Lesser Khing'an Mountains and the west of the Great Khing'an Ridge.

These are all ethnic groups in the middle of the forest, mainly fishing and hunting.

Their war with the Jurchens was simply one-sided, and although they resisted desperately, the difference in strength was huge. The Jurchens are now being beaten by the Han army and have lost their armor and are constantly moving north. But the emaciated camel is bigger than the horse, after all, it was once the overlord of the Northeast, and it was almost about to enter the Central Plains and establish a dynasty.

The loose Sauron coalition army, whether in terms of tactics or equipment, was completely inferior to the Jurchens, and it was only by virtue of their familiarity with the terrain and the extremely cold weather at this time that they could survive for free until now.

"Now the leader of Yelei led some of his warriors to defend the cities of Duochen, Asaryu, Yaksa, and Dojin, while the chiefs of the tribes, such as Darbuni, held the city of Ukur. The Jurchen Tartars Suohai, Ye Keshu and others led their troops to attack day and night, and the situation was very critical. ”

The Sauron tribes have now held the first line in the upper reaches of the Heilongjiang River, and even the first line of the Jingqili River has been lost.

"Are there only these five castles left in the Sauron tribes, and how many soldiers and horses are left?"

"There are 20,000 soldiers in the five cities."

20,000 people is already a huge number for the Sauron tribes, but for the Jurchens who have retreated to the middle reaches of the Heilongjiang River, this number is really not their opponent.

Li Xin took the territory and began to inspect the five strongholds held by the Saurons.

The five cities are all on the banks of the Heilongjiang River, and they are all on the north bank.

Among them, Yaksa is in the upstream, and Duo Chen is in the downstream.

Duochen is more than 600 miles away from the city of Minghui, and Yaksa is more than 1,300 miles away from the city.

Nebuchu is still 1,600 li away from Yaksa, and nearly 3,000 li away from Yuhui.

What a terrible distance.

However, it is precisely this distance that allows Sauron's 20,000 soldiers to hold on to the five fortresses on the upper reaches of the Heilongjiang River.

However, Li Xin believes that the reason why Sauron has been able to survive until now is not only because of the distance, but also because of the cold weather at this time, and another important reason must be because the Jurchens are unwilling to go north to conquer Sauron, and they have to guard against the Mongol and Han armies in the south.

"Please send troops to rescue the Sauron tribes!" Old man Debuku pleased.

"We braved the bitter cold and traveled three thousand miles in the ice and snow to come here, just to rescue the brothers of Sauron." Li Xin said.

From Nebuchu to Yaksa, there are still 1,600 miles. If the army marches in a hurry, the reindeer and sled dogs can rush to the rescue at a speed of 400 miles a day, and 1,600 miles, as long as the supplies are sufficient, the 5,000 soldiers of the West Ball Expeditionary Force of the Han Empire can arrive in four days.

"I can't wait to see the wonderful expressions of the Jurchens when they see the banner of the Great Han fluttering at the head of Yaksa, hahaha!" (To be continued.) )
