Zhou Huchen did not fulfill his promise to flatten the Cossack earthen forts, but the reverence of the Buryats did not diminish in the slightest.

Because, Zhou Huchen perfectly killed the Rakshasa ghost in the earthen fort. These ferocious Rakshasa ghosts were blown to pieces by Zhou Huchen's devil weapons, and no one can describe them except for the miserable. Awe is born from this, it is not a question of the number of personnel, it is a display of strength, Zhou Huchen showed his strength to the Buryats very well.

Easily achieved the goal of destroying the enemy, and at the suggestion of the Buryats, leaving Zhelang and other lamas, Zhou Huchen did not dare to stop at all and began to continue north.

People can wait, but the season will not wait, Siberia is already showing a chill, and if you don't take that Tsarist Yakutsk this year, you will have to wait until next spring. The cold in Siberia is not ordinary, the whole winter will be a long half a year, and the time that troops can be sent to fight is very limited, at most about seven months. In these seven months of the year, Zhou Huchen must act quickly, and this year's target is Yakutsk. Otherwise, after cleaning up Siberia, he will have to deal with other enemies, and he doesn't know when he will return to the pass.

The goal was far away, but it was easy to find, and under the guidance of the local Buryats guide, Zhou Huchen made his goal clear. Less than two days north along this small river is a large river, and if you follow it for a few more days to the northeast, you will see the camp of the Rakshasas.

Sure enough, as the Buryats said, on the evening of the second day after departure, Zhou Huchen saw a big river in his clairvoyant mirror.

At this time, the scout reported that a small village of thatched huts was found by the river, and there were no living people in the village, only a piece of bones.

"It's hunting Yakutia!"

When Zhou Huchen came to the village, the Buryat guide recognized the people in the village.

The bones belong to the hunters of this area, the Yakuts, the indigenous people of this area, who have lived peacefully with the Yakuts since their arrival in this land. There is not much conflict between them, and they always learn from each other after they meet. It seems that this Yakut village has already been slaughtered by the Cossacks.

The bones were buried on the spot, and Zhou Huchen's army began to camp. This place is good, on the east side is a continuous low mountain, the mountains are reckless primeval forests, and the clear river flows under the mountains, which happens to be beautiful.

The terrain is very favorable, the land is fertile, and Zhou Huchen decided. The first military base in Siberia was built here.

Building a military base required a huge civil engineering project, but fortunately, Zhou Huchen had many people, and when Zhou Huchen left, more than 10,000 soldiers stayed in place. They will build an earthen city here, which stretches right to the river on the west side and a low hill on the east side. In other words, in the event of a battle, the defensive side of this earthen city will only be on the north and south sides. Zhou Huchen's army was armed with firearms, plus it had a large number of mortars and soldiers. Wanting to take this earthen city was tantamount to a dream for the Cossacks and the local natives.

It was already very cold in Siberia in autumn, but fortunately, Zhou Huchen was well prepared, and his soldiers were not short of cotton clothes. There is no shortage of food, let alone ammunition.

It was the fourth day after leaving that camp, and the Ming army had adapted to the environment here, and the whole of Siberia was as far as the eye could see. Birds and beasts are everywhere, and they are not afraid of people at all. The scouts opened the way in front, just so that the Mongol cavalry behind had enough of hunting. By the way, a lot of meat is stocked. The fish in the river are even more inexhaustible, the birds are stupid, the beasts are stupid, the fish in the river are even more stupid, and the soldiers can reach out to the river if they want to eat the fish, which makes people really understand the rich resources of Siberia.

In addition to being cold, it seems that it will not be difficult to survive this upcoming Siberian winter.

In the autumn wind, a herd of wild deer ran wildly by the river.

"Someone is coming, hidden! Arraignment to the back! ”

A Ming scout held a clairvoyant mirror, flanked by several Mongolian cavalrymen in leather robes, and two Buryatan guides.

"Bang".

The scouts and guides of the Ming army hidden in the woods were stunned for a moment, this was the sound of firecrackers, and the sound was heard far away in the silent and vast land of Siberia.

There were too many obstacles in front of him, and a scout decisively climbed a pine tree, and when he raised the clairvoyant mirror, a small cavalry team appeared in front of him.

At this moment, the sound of fire was heard again. There is no doubt that these cavalrymen were dressed in the same clothes and hats as those who were exterminated in the earthen forts, and there were about a hundred of them, all on horseback, and they were driving a herd of reindeer, and the reindeer carried a lot of things on their backs, which should have supplies. And the sound of fire should be the first few Cossack cavalrymen who were bored, they were shooting wild deer.

Among the large troops on the back road, there has been no opportunity to move for too long, and the leader of the Korbi Mongol cavalry, Nuerhu, couldn't bear it anymore, so he decisively asked for his life.

"Dashuai, the last general will go and kill these Rakshasa people, and ensure that there is no one left!"

What are the hundred people worried about, Zhou Huchen smiled and agreed: "These Rakshasas are not many in number, they should send winter supplies to those Rakshasas who have been wiped out in the earthen forts, since General Nuerhu asks for the order of the commander, but the Rakshasas have firearms, and they also need my dragoons to cooperate." It is safer to let the dragoons cover on the flanks and General Nuerhu to raid on the front. ”

"Yes!"

"Remember that there is not one left!"

"My subordinates know!"

The lion fights the rabbit, and Nur Tiger is very excited to clench his fists to receive his life, and then turn around and run

More than ten miles away from Zhou Huchen's army, nearly 100 Cossack cavalry marched leisurely. This is a hundred miles of uninhabited land, and even the people you meet are those Yakuts or Buryats who come out to hunt, these people are too backward, too stupid, and only know how to welcome their arrival. Even if they are killed at will with muskets and sabers, they don't know how to resist, and this area is not an aboriginal gathering area, so there is no need to worry about safety.

"Jacques go and let the people in front stop wasting ammunition, there is no shortage of food, what's the use of having so many prey?" A slightly older Cossack, apparently the leader, was unhappy with the indiscriminate shooting of his men.

A Cossack cavalryman went in response, and a cavalryman next to the Cossack leader spoke at this time: "Captain Palyov, it seems that the Fort of Verkhniy Angarsk is surrounded by a lot of Buryats, did we go in this time?" ”

"No problem, the Buryats know what it means to fight? This time we will defeat them in one fell swoop, just to get more horses, and there will be women, and there will be more golden sands and mink. ”

The Cossack cavalryman who spoke showed a greedy and lewd gaze: "As long as there are women, there are golden sands and mink"

At this moment, the ground seemed to tremble slightly.

Palyov frowned, could it be an earthquake? There have always been a lot of earthquakes in this area, and they are nothing.

The trembling of the ground continued, and Palyov suddenly felt that something was wrong, he had participated in the battle of the cavalry, this was not an earthquake, the shaking was too regular, it was clearly the ground tremor caused by the impact of the cavalry.

The Cossack leader Palyov was full of horror: "Enemy attack ~ prepare to meet the enemy!" ”

Nuerhu did not despise the enemy, he even sent out five thousand Mongolian cavalry at once, not counting the two thousand dragoons who had already galloped away on the right flank.

The front is 5,000 cavalry, the left wing is the river, the right wing is 2,000 Ming dragoons, the Rakshasa people have nowhere to go, Nuerhu's arrangement is a hunt, Zhou Huchen gave the hunt (to be continued......
