Chen Biao ordered the commander-in-chief Chen Changhu and Qianhu Jibuha to lead 200 Ming troops and 500 Even warriors to garrison Okhotsk Fort;
The warriors of the two Linte tribes were heading north in a mighty manner. Zhu Ruodeng's military order was to capture the forts around Yakutsk and turn Yakutsk into a dead city.
The military order is like a mountain, and we must act immediately.
His opponent is Rakshasa Warlord Brem, an incompetent coward who leads 300 soldiers to garrison Zhigansk Fort on the lower reaches of the Lena River, near the Arctic Circle.
When the Ming army arrived, Chen Biao observed the enemy's situation through a telescope with a heavy face. Like Yakutsk, this city was also built on the Lena River, but one was on the west bank and the other on the east bank. There were rivers as cover.
The shape is hard to type at first glance.
He had suffered the loss of this kind of "star castle" before, and he couldn't help but mutter to himself, "This city is very strong, and it is difficult to pull it out!"
Even if it's not easy to fight, you still have to fight. There is no turning back when you open the bow.
"Order the artillery battalion to bombard me hard," Chen Biao shouted.
Sixteen artillery carts were pushed to the bottom of the city, and the gunners began to load ammunition and fire. With the whistle of "chirp~chirp~chirp~", cannonballs exploded on the city.
There was a lot of noise, but the telescope lens showed no sign of the city wall collapsing.
Chen Biao sighed, it seemed that he could only let the soldiers use their lives to fill the gap! He was reluctant to let his headquarters work hard, so he summoned Hillidege, the chief of the Holint tribe, "I have heard for a long time that you are a famous warrior in northern Xinjiang.
, let’s watch your splendor today!”
The people in Northern Xinjiang are honest and sincere. When he saw him praising himself, Hillidegg didn't realize at all his sinister intention of letting him be used as cannon fodder. Instead, he felt that this was because the general admired him. He had just been awarded the hereditary thousand households of the Ming Dynasty, which was exactly what he should do.
It was the Ming Dynasty that made the effort. He happily accepted the order and led five hundred warriors to rush towards Fort Gansk.
Chen Biao frowned slightly, picked up the telescope, and waited to see the tragic scene of blood and flesh flying everywhere.
A scene that stunned him appeared. The Rakshasa people in the city actually ran away. Warlord Brem led 300 soldiers to open the east city gate, paddled their sleds, and ran away. The warriors of the Hollint tribe captured the city unscathed.
This strong city.
"It's so easy to break the city?"
Chen Biao couldn't believe it, but he quickly came to his senses and ordered Zorba to lead the cavalry in pursuit. Near the Arctic Circle, the snow was so thick that the horses couldn't catch up with the sled, and Brem and his men successfully escaped.
"Bah, this guy is so cheap," Zorba spat fiercely.
In any case, it was a happy event to seize the city. Chen Biao ordered to reward the three armies at Zhigansk Fort.
??
Good things come in pairs, and the God of Destiny takes good care of him, and news of the uprising of Agula, the chief of the Ekwen tribe, and Hada, the chief of the Chufan tribe, came.
The purpose of the Rosa people establishing the Yakutsk Warlord District was to obtain precious mink skins. In this era, a precious mink skin was worth as much as gold. The greedy Rakshasa people conquered thirty-six tribes here and divided them into
Thirty-six townships, each of which had to pay a certain amount of mink skins as taxes; they continued to immigrate here and established nineteen winter camps for Rakshasa people to live in. In 1643 alone, from Yakuts
Ke plundered 146,720 mink skins.
The territory of Agulla is located in Nunsk Fort on the Aldan River, and the territory of Hada is located in Amkinsk Fort on the Amgar River, a tributary of the Aldan River. These two places are located in the southeast of Yakutsk and are famous
Mink is the origin of mink fur, so it is the most exploited.
The Okwen tribe and the Chufan tribe mainly rely on hunting for a living. The number of mink skins required by the Rakshasa people to hand over to them is increasing year by year, but the output is limited, gradually reaching the point where the people are having trouble making a living.
After Agula and Hada received a letter from Abu Zhida, the chief of the Yukargir tribe, advising them to revolt and return to the Ming Dynasty, they were heartbroken and simply led the Okvin and Chufan people to revolt and captured Nunsk Fort and Ag.
Mjinsk Fort, killed thirty Rakshasa defenders and captured more than twenty people.
Although Fort Nunsk and Fort Amkinsk are just two small forts with few garrisons, and the two tribes who rebelled are also small tribes with small populations, it means that there are no more Romans in the southeast of Yakutsk.
The Cha army and the Ming army's flanks can sit back and relax.
Chen Biao was overjoyed and immediately reported to Zhu Ruodeng to ennoble Agula and Hada as hereditary households and sent people to appease these two tribes.
??
People's potential is endless when they are fleeing for their lives. Warlord Brehm led 300 soldiers and fled quickly from Zhigansk Fort to Zahiversk Fort. Under the city, he counted the number of people and found that except for two people who were left behind, there was nothing.
Loss.
Ivan Kalkin, who is in his sixties, stands at the top of Zahiversk Castle and looks into the distance. He was one of the first colonists to come to Yakutsk and has retired here. You can hear the explanation
The army came over. With loyalty to the Tsar and love for the colonial cause, the old man went into battle again, organized dozens of Cossacks in the local area, recruited more than a hundred tribal warriors, and gathered 200 men to defend the city.
p>
A long snake appeared in the distance, shuttling through the ice and snow at extremely fast speeds.
Kalkin's expression condensed. He knew that this was the sled team moving, "preparing to fight." The old man issued a military order, the three cannons raised their muzzles, and the musketeers also loaded their bullets.
"Huh? He seems to be one of ours," someone in the city exclaimed.
Kalkin looked around and saw the familiar face of Warlord Brehm, and hurriedly put him into the city.
"Why are you here?" he asked Brem.
The governor's face turned pale, and he said in shock: "The Ming army is coming. There are two or three thousand people. I can't resist it, so I have to retreat to you."
"Can't resist?"
Kalkin was furious, "When I was in Yakutsk, I blocked the attack of more than a thousand Yakuts with fifty Cossacks. One against twenty, I was still able to win. The enemies you face are ten times worse."
Come on, how can you deserve the trust of His Majesty the Tsar if you lose Zhigansk Fort so quickly?"
This is the proudest thing in the old man's life. When the Yakutsk Fort was hit by a flood, it had to be moved to its current location. When the city was first built and various defense measures were not perfected, it was attacked by more than a thousand Yakut warriors.
The siege. He led fifty Cossacks, showed no fear, defeated the many with fewer, and repelled the enemy, thus earning the title of "Brave Kalkin".
After being scolded by the senior, Brem did not dare to say anything. Although this veteran has retired, his connections and influence in the court are not comparable to his own.
Seeing that he didn't dare to say anything, Kalkin slowed down his tone and said, "Since you have lost Zhigansk Fort, you should serve your crime and guard Zashiversk Fort with me. Don't worry, I have ordered the chief of the Yupik tribe to
Su He will lead his warriors to join me. By then our army will have a thousand men, enough to fight the Ming army."
