The next day, outside the city of Yaxa, the 12-pounder infantry guns belonging to the Xia army once again roared at the Russian troops who had invaded the Chinese homeland.

Although the Russian army strengthened and repaired the walls of Yaksa City overnight, its walls were still heavily damaged under the fierce bombardment of the Xia army, and not only the gaps in the temporarily repaired city walls collapsed again, but also the surrounding walls collapsed.

The artillery of the Xia army was not only targeting the city wall, but also the artillery deployed on the city wall, and there was only one artillery in the city of Yaksa, which only survived the shelling for less than five minutes before it was successfully blown into a pile of scrap metal.

Seeing this, Zhao Liangdong no longer hesitated, he ordered to blow the horn of attack, and the soldiers of the first target immediately rushed to the gap in the city wall in the dense drumbeat, at this moment, several Jurchen leaders who rushed to support after hearing the news also took the initiative to ask for battle, they said that they would personally slash the Russian army and avenge the clansmen, but Zhao Liangdong refused their invitation to fight, he thought that the Jurchens' participation in the war had no effect on the war situation.

On the front line, the dense drums and their neat queues during the Xia army's attack were undoubtedly full of oppression for the Russian troops in the city, Bakharov was armed with a flintlock pistol, shouting loudly to order his subordinates to organize a defense behind the gap, the Russian army was timid, but still forced to organize a counterattack.

It is worth mentioning that the firearms of the Russian army in the city are several generations behind those of the Xia army, most of them still use old-fashioned arquebuses, and only Bakharov and a few people can be equipped with flintlock pistols, and even the flintlock pistol is more than half a century behind the Xia army's Type II rifle.

Soon, the Xia army entered the range of the Russian firearms, and the Russian troops hiding behind the obstacles began to shoot their own guns, and the accuracy of the arquebus naturally went without saying, they crackled and fought for a long time, and the Xia army on the opposite side was stunned and did not fall alone.

It was not until the Xia army approached the gap in the city wall that there were finally casualties in the queue, but the Xia army also stopped at this time, and in the order of the company commander in the queue, the soldiers in the front row raised their rifles one after another and fired a volley at the Russian army behind the obstacle.

In the thunderous burst of gunfire, the Russians were shot dozens of people even though they were hiding behind obstacles, and their morale was suddenly shaken, and a number of deserters appeared, Bakharov tried to stop them, but he was immediately shot and killed along with several of his subordinates in the next second volley.

After the two rows fired a salvo, the Russian army screamed and scattered in all directions, or surrendered directly on their knees, muttering something that the Xia soldiers could not understand, and the Xia army immediately poured into the city to clear the Russian troops in the city who were still resisting stubbornly, and captured the surrendered soldiers.

In less than half a day, the Xia army completely occupied the city of Yaksa, and liberated hundreds of Jurchens who were captured as slaves in the city, killing a total of 103 Russian soldiers and capturing 175 people, and seizing many furs, ginseng and other things looted and forcibly requisitioned by the Russian army from the Jurchen tribes.

After entering the city of Yaxa, Zhao Liangdong immediately sent the good news to Heilongjiang City, and then Wang Yi reported the victory to the imperial court, and at the same time consulted Wang Yi on how to deal with the city of Yaksa and the more than 100 captured Russian troops.

The good news was transmitted to Heilongjiang City, which immediately caused a round of celebration in the city, Wang Yi's face not only brought a smile, he waved his pen and sent the good news to Jiangning intact, and asked the court for credit, and in the face of Zhao Liangdong's inquiry, Wang Yi thought about it, and finally decided to take Yaksa City for his own use, as a frontier stronghold to guard against the Rakshasa Kingdom.

As for the 175 prisoners of war, he did not have the idea of releasing them easily, but reduced them to coolies and sent them to the construction site for hard labor.

After recovering the city of Yaxa, the Xia army did not attack rashly, they knew very little about Nebuchu, and did not dare to rush into it easily, so Zhao Liangdong could only temporarily garrison the city of Yaxa, and according to Wang Yi's order, he built a large number of buildings here, widened and rebuilt on the basis of the rough walled city built by the Russian army, and sent scouts to spy on the military situation of Nebuchu.

At the same time, thousands of miles away in the Jingshi Jiangning Mansion.

Wang Yi sent the song at the beginning across most of China under the urgency of 800 miles, and finally sent it to Su Yan's imperial case, Su Yan read this letter and was speechless for a long time.

The war with the Russian army was expected by him, but he didn't expect that this war would not start until this year.

Since the imperial court in the fourth year of Wu'an set up the Mobei Protectorate, until today, the imperial court has not done it again

At the end of the war, as Ma Guozhu said, the imperial court really needs to recuperate for a while, so that the people who have just come out of the war can breathe a sigh of relief, and also let the immigrants who have left their homeland have time to settle down.

Therefore, during the two years from the fourth year of Wu'an to the sixth year of Wu'an, the imperial court has always been in a state of recuperation, at most, to crack down on domestic bandits, or to let the navy eliminate the trouble of the pirates.

It is worth mentioning that in the past two years, with Zhu Chenggong completely controlling the entire Luzon Islands, task four in the ultimate mission (2) has also been completed, and he has been rewarded by the system.

Perhaps because the mission is to send troops to the South Seas, the rewards given by the system are also about the navy, and the system directly unlocks one of the navy's technology lines - that is, short heavy artillery and lead powder cartridges.

With the unlocking of the short and heavy guns, the system also gives away five additional short and heavy gun frigates, but due to some factors, these short and heavy gun frigates cannot appear directly in the port, and still need to be built without spending silver.

Getting back to the point, after two years of repairing, the object of the war again was the woolly bear, Su Yan was not nervous in his heart, on the contrary, he was very much looking forward to it, as soon as he thought of being able to wash away the shame of being occupied by the hairy bear in the future of 5,883,800 square kilometers, he was excited, and he couldn't wait to go out to Mobei in person.

But he could only think about it in his heart, not only that he could not risk his life as an emperor, but also for another reason - he had just celebrated his 30th birthday in June this year, and he could not act impulsively easily.

Wang Yi's recital quickly caused an uproar in the court, and the ministers of the court and the central government were unsurprisingly divided into two camps, namely the main battle faction and the rejection faction.

The main battle faction is headed by Zhang Mingzhen, the head of the Dingguo Gong, Zhang Huangyan, the secretary of the Ministry of War, the secretary of the Criminal Department, and Fu Dingquan, the right attendant of the Ministry of Officials, are all members of the main battle faction.

As the name suggests, the war rejection faction refuses to start a big war, to be precise, they are not refusing to start a war with the Rakshasa country, they refuse to start a war with the Rakshasa country on all fronts, and invest a lot of manpower and material resources to occupy the bitter cold and barren land north of the North Sea.

The anti-war faction was headed by Ma Guozhu, the head of the household department, and Wang Wenkui, the governor of Jiangnan, and other officials concerned with the people's livelihood also echoed it.

Although the positions of the two factions are different, they are both for the sake of national social considerations, but it is a pity that Su Yan will not listen to the dissuasion of the war rejection faction, he is full of war with Tsarist Russia, so under the impetus of Su Yan, the sound of war flooded the court and became the mainstream.

Subsequently, the imperial court ordered to send it to Mobei and Northeast China in an expedited manner of 800 miles.

The imperial court ordered Li Laiheng, the capital of Mobei, to organize troops and horses to go north and cross the Beihai Sea, attack the various fortresses and fortresses built by the Russian army north of the Beihai, and cut off the communication of the Russian army in Siberia as much as possible.

He ordered Wang Yi, the governor of Heilongjiang, to lead an army to counterattack the Russian army in the Heilongjiang River valley, recover Nebuchu, and clear the Russian army's power in Eastern Siberia.

At the same time, in order to prevent Tsarist Russia from instigating the Dzungar Khanate and other Western Mongol forces to besiege the territory of the imperial court after being attacked, he ordered Daniel Zhang, the chief soldier of Gansu, to strictly guard against the Western Regions.

Xia Jun, the war machine, after being silent for two years, finally let out a rumbling roar again!

……

Kulun, the seat of the Mobei Metropolitan Protectorate, was originally the territory of the Tushetu Khan, but after the imperial court set up the Mobei Metropolitan Protectorate, this place became the residence of the Metropolitan Protectorate, and with the efforts of Korean laborers, a city rose on the Mongolian Plateau.

Since there were no large-scale Han Chinese immigrants to settle down, the city was mainly populated by Koreans and Mongols, and if you walked around the city, you could hear Korean-speaking Korean immigrants everywhere you looked.

However, the imperial court set up a number of schools in the city to teach Korean immigrants to learn Chinese and practice Han etiquette, and the Korean kingdom was deeply influenced by China for thousands of years, and even the Korean language was a variant of Chinese, so it was not difficult to change customs.

In October of the sixth year of Wu'an, documents from Heilongjiang City and Jiangning City were successively sent to Li Laiheng, the capital of Mobei, who was only two years older than the emperor

After frowning and reading the will of the imperial court, he hurriedly ordered someone to invite the two deputies over.

One of the two deputy protectors was Fu Xinghua, the former envoy of Guizhou, and the other was Tushetu Khan Chahun Dorji, who fought for the imperial court as a representative of the Khalkha Mongols.

After the arrival of the two deputy protectors, Li Laiheng passed the will of the imperial court to them, and the two reacted differently after reading it, Fu Xinghua looked expected, he had already predicted that there would be a war with the Rakshasa Kingdom in the future in the conversation with the emperor two years ago, and for the past two years, he has been making preparations.

Chahun Dorji immediately saluted and said that the Khalkha Mongols would serve as a blade of loyalty to the imperial court, stabbing the Rakshasas who dared to be enemies of the imperial court.

As Tushetu Khan, he also has a little understanding of the Rakshasas in his neighbors in the north, to be precise, the four tribes of Mobei have more or less dealt with the Rakshasas, and they all have no good impression of those strange-looking, murderous and tyrannical Xiyi, and now that the imperial court wants to start a war with the Rakshasas, they are naturally eager to try.

Seeing that both of them were ready for war, Li Laiheng did not say much, and he immediately ordered the mobilization of all the soldiers and horses under the jurisdiction of the Mobei Metropolitan Protectorate, and ordered each of the four divisions of Mobei to provide at least 2,000 Mongolian cavalry to assemble in Uriya Sutai, Kulen and Chechen Khan Banner.
