The coalition forces of Bo Guoduo, Yan Huang and other kings, who were once large grain households, were still short of food, not to mention Yunyu who took 15,000 people to the Emur River to eliminate the invading Russian army.

What the? Didn't the Qing court have tens of thousands of new immigrants in the (old) Aihui and Heilongjiang cities (新Aihui)? Why can't you give Yoon Yu the necessary support? Dude, all I can say is that you're thinking things too simply.

The Qing court migrated tens of thousands of people to the vicinity of Heilongjiang City, but these immigrants first had to cut down wood to make houses and settle down, and then they could reclaim the fields. It was not easy to plant potatoes and some sorghum, but the time was too short, and the output was limited, at most it could fill one's stomach, and it could not be supplied to the army at all. In turn, some tunzi had to allocate part of the food relief from the army, so that the newcomers would not starve to death in the bitter cold winter.

There was not enough food, and Yun Yu once pinned his hopes on a decisive battle. However, it had taken more than a month for him to move his troops from the Ningguta front line to the vicinity of Heilongjiang City, and by this time the Russians' new Albazin Fort had been completed, and Yun Yu could only reluctantly plunge into the siege.

Speaking of which, the new Albazin Fort of the Russians is a wooden castle like the previous two generations, and the defense is not too high, but this time the Russians have become smarter, and the location of the new castle is at the confluence of the Heilongjiang River and the Emur River, opposite the old city across the Heilongjiang River. The northern, eastern, and southern sides of the city relied on rivers for defense, and the attackers could only deploy from the mountainous direction in the west, and the terrain was narrow, which virtually limited the scale of troops.

In addition to the limited direction of attack, the bigger problem for the Yunyu army is in terms of firepower.

Because Yun Yu deliberately gave up a large number of artillery, guns and other firearms in the army in order to make use of his strengths and avoid weaknesses to strengthen his own melee capabilities, this is exactly the same as the situation of the Battle of Sanjiangkou, the Qing army can only use flesh and blood to resist the Russian army's artillery fire, and it is bound to pay a great price, which is what Yun Yu, who is overstretched, is unwilling to pay.

Of course, Yunyu is not without artillery, but the artillery it has is far inferior to the Russians in terms of caliber, quantity and gunner technology, and it cannot play its due role in the siege of the city.

As a last resort, Yunyu had no choice but to implement a long-term blockade against his will. Fortunately, due to the limitations of the terrain, the Russians could not easily break through the blockade of the Qing army and pose a threat to the military cantonment in the rear of the Qing army. It's just that whether it's fishing and hunting, or the military cantonment in the rear, it can't meet the needs of 15,000 people, which makes Yun Yu almost white overnight.

After the Heilongjiang River froze, the problem became even more severe. The original blockade could no longer prevent the Cossack cavalry from slipping out of the ice, so Yunyu needed to disperse his troops, dig longer trenches along the Emur River and the Heilongjiang River, and arrange more antlers, so that he could not invest more manpower in fishing and hunting.

Seeing that the Russians had not starved to death, he was about to starve to death first, so Yun Yu had no choice but to send someone to Emperor Tongzhi for urgent help.

Emperor Tongzhi also helped, scraped around Xinjing, and forced a hundred horse-drawn ice sleds of potatoes and other miscellaneous grains to be sent to Yunyu, which saved Yunyu from the danger of running out of cooking. But Yun Yu understands that this hundred carts of grain is only the last supply, and he can't count on anyone next.

"Siege!" A hundred carts of grain sounds like a lot, but the distribution of 15,000 people is only ten catties per person, so Yun Yu has to make the decision he is least willing to make. "The Oros people have previously transported millions of catties of grain from the waterway, as long as they take the city of Yaksa, it will not be a problem to eat new grain and put it on the market."

So under the threat of hunger, the Qing army began to prepare, and the original blockade trench on the west side began to extend inward - this was originally the last resort of the Qing army in order to avoid artillery, but how do you know that it is the only correct offensive mode to deal with the fortress - seeing the Qing army digging little by little, the Russian army can't sit still.

In order to invade the Heilongjiang Valley, the Nizhny Baikal overseer Ivan Federovich Kderient cobbled together a total of 3,500 troops and 15 large and small artillery pieces, of which 800 men carried three artillery pieces across the Ergun River and invaded the area west of the Xiaoxingan Mountains, and the remaining 2,700 men and 12 artillery pieces were all subordinate to Novoalbazinburg.

Although the strength of the Russian army was only one-fifth weaker than that of the 15,000-strong Qing army, the commander transferred from Moscow, Major Liyev, it seemed that a thousand musketeers and a thousand Cossack cavalry were enough to teach the natives a lesson. Therefore, after the Qing army approached Novoalbazinburg with "correct" tactics, Major Liyev, who was full of confidence and overly worried, ignored the dissuasion of several captains and Cossack leaders around him, and took the initiative to submit a war letter to Yunyu, demanding that the victory be decided by a lively field battle.

Without knocking on the enemy's "strong" castle, Yun Yu was naturally overjoyed and hurriedly agreed to the opponent's request. However, Yun Yu is not the first brother on the battlefield, in order to prevent the other party from playing tricks, he held a deputy capital headquarters in his hands as a reserve for contingencies, but he never thought that the opponent would fight wholeheartedly, and the result was self-defeating, and he automatically narrowed the ratio of troops with the opponent.

Of course, three to one is also an overwhelming advantage, but the plain outside the city is too narrow for the Qing army to invest at one time, so in fact, the gap between the two sides is not as big as imagined.

In the second year of Tongzhi in the Qing Dynasty, in 1713 in the Western calendar, and on October 17, 7221 after the creation of the Russian calendar, the Battle of Novoalbazinburg broke out.

At the right time, Yun Yu took the bird guns of each department as the front, and the horse armor and infantry armor were hidden behind the bird guns, and slowly approached the Russian army array; The Russians lined up with musketeers and miscellaneous artillery, and the Cossack cavalry also hid behind the firearms units.

Seeing that the Qing army was forced to come, the Russian army first set off artillery. The Qing army did not fight back because the artillery was too powerful, and as a result, the front row of bird-gunners was beaten out of terrible holes by the Russian artillery fire. However, the Qing army still braved the rain of bullets, and after a quarter of an hour, at a huge price, it formed a situation of firing with the Russian musketeers.

In terms of troops, the two deputy commanders of the Qing army participated in the war had a total of ten bird commanders, with a total of 1,250 people at full strength, which was a slight advantage for the Russian musketeers, but when breaking through the Russian artillery fire, the Qing army lost about 300 people, so it was inferior to the opponent in terms of strength. In addition, the Qing army still used the so-called multiple horizontal formations of nine into ten consecutive chains, so the amount of ammunition dropped per unit of time was far inferior to that of the opponent with only three horizontal formations, and as a result, in less than a quarter of an hour, the Qing army suffered more than 500 casualties, while the Russian army only suffered less than 300 casualties.

The Qing army's bird and gun leaders had already collapsed, and at this time, the Qing army's vests and infantry armor suddenly came out of the smoke and rushed straight into the Russian army's fire array. Seeing that the Qing army lifted out the hole cards, the Russian musketeers immediately dispersed to both sides, and a thousand Cossack cavalry brandished their sabers and rushed towards the opponent who was only dragoons.

Although the equestrian skills of both sides were not very fast, the Cossack cavalry still showed amazing martial skills and inflicted heavy losses on the Qing army in front of them. However, the Qing army obviously had no way to retreat, so when some of the vests and infantry saw that they could not defeat their opponents in cavalry battles, they simply abandoned their horses and fought on foot, and dragged the lost Cossacks off their horses??????

In the face of the Qing army's life-threatening tactics, the Cossacks could not bear it, and more than a thousand people melted away as quickly as icebergs in the sun. At this time, some of the Qing army's vests and infantry armor abandoned the Cossacks, who were no longer able to wield the advantage of cavalry warfare, and rushed towards the Russian musketeers, but were knocked to the ground by the Russian army's direct-aiming artillery. It was by the desperate fire of artillery and muskets that a very small number of Cossacks broke out of the Qing formation, but by this time the two sides were already very close, and the Qing army, which had experience in the battle of Sanjiangkou, rushed into the ranks of the Russian musketeers at great cost.

Seeing that the Russian army could be massacred, at this time, the last 500 Russian troops, including the gunners, rushed over with Cossack spears eight Russian feet long and stabbed them, which restrained the Qing army's offensive and covered the remaining Russian troops to retreat into Novoalbazinburg, but the artillery and the wounded could only be abandoned outside the city.

A short and bloody battle ended with the Russian army suffering more than 1,500 casualties and 12 extremely important artillery pieces, while the Qing army paid the price of 3,000 men, which was also a great loss of vitality.

After the battle, Yun Yu sent a messenger to inform Major Liev, telling him to surrender the city of Yaksa and a set of weapons and return to the Russian border as agreed.

Considering that after the Qing army captured the Russian artillery, the new Albazin Fort could no longer be entrenched, the "bad" Major Liyev had no choice but to agree to Yunyu's request with "aristocratic credibility", only hoping to keep his personal belongings and some weapons for self-defense.

In view of the Russians' willingness to surrender the city of Yaksa in its entirety, Yun Yu agreed that the Russians should keep 100 muskets and some swords as weapons of self-defense, and generously allowed the Russians to take the furs from the surrounding villages of Balhu, Sauron, Oroqen, and Chirel.

Overjoyed, Major Liyev presented his sword to Yunyu outside the city of Yaksa early the next morning. Subsequently, the Russian army, escorted by 3,000 Qing troops, fled back to its own territory along the frozen Heilongjiang River. And Yun Yu, who completely received the Yaksa grain depot, finally breathed a sigh of relief, although the grain in Yaksa City was not as much as he imagined, but the remaining hundreds of thousands of catties of grain and nearly a thousand horse corpses outside the city had already made the Qing army not have to worry in a short time, and then arrange daily fishing and hunting, at least this winter can be survived??????

"When Jinbao and Jindu come back, he will lead his troops to stay here." After the victory, Yun Yu ordered that he was worried that the Russians would make a comeback, so he left more than half of the damaged deputy capital headquarters to defend the city of Yaksa, despite the severe and irreparable loss of troops. "As for these artillery." Yunyu thought about it for a while, and finally reluctantly cut his love. "Let's stay and guard Jaxa." Speaking of which, Yun Yu gave further care. "The Karen at the mouth of the Ergun River is going to be re-established, and it is good to warn in advance if there is any trouble, in addition, the Russians are going downstream, so they have to find a way to build ships to fight." Although he was talking about the Russians, what Yun Yu was thinking about was the Xia Junhong single boat that was said to be rampaging downstream of Bolitun. "By the way, sue the Heilongjiang City side, and also prepare for shipbuilding??????"
