The Verkhovyansk Fort in the northeastern part of Yakutsk was built on the easternmost part of the Verkhovyansk Mountain. Warlord Brehm led a hundred defeated soldiers and fled here.
Verkin, the governor of Jansk Castle, has a reputation for bravery in the Rakshasa Army. Among the 300 soldiers under his command, there are only 100 Cossacks, and the other 200 are recruited mountain tribe warriors. These tribal warriors are hard-working and not afraid of death.
Helped him earn a reputation for being brave and good at fighting.
He calmly asked Brem: "How many Ming troops came this time?"
"About three thousand people, and a dozen cannons," Brahm said dejectedly.
Seeing him like this, Wilkin was actually happy, "Cheer up, my friend, the enemy only has three thousand people, and they have to be stationed in Zhigansk Fort and Zahiversk Fort. I think I can send them to Verkhovyansk Fort."
Our army only has more than a thousand people. Verkhnyansk Castle is built on a mountain and is easy to defend but difficult to attack. As long as you and I work together, it is not difficult to defend the castle."
Brem nodded in agreement. He knew very well that after repeated defeats, if he tried to escape again, he might not be able to escape Moscow's military law.
Abu Zhida and Suhe led more than a thousand tribal warriors and Baiyintib's artillery sentry to arrive at Verkhovyansk Fort.
From a barbarian leader to one of the Qianhu of the Ming Dynasty, and now to the commander-in-chief of an army, Abu Zhida was very proud and wanted to win several battles to serve the court, so he ordered artillery to bombard the city as soon as he arrived.
"You good guys are taking aim. If you hit a shot, you will be rewarded with a piece of meat. If you hit a hundred shots, you will be free. If you miss a shot, you will be whipped thirty times." Baiyin Tibu ordered people to come to the prisoners.
The Rakshasa gunner roared.
Under the coercion and inducement of the Ming army, the prisoners began to shoot, six cannons roared, and shells continued to fall on the city. However, the city's base was integrated with the mountain, except for a few unlucky ones who were bombarded to death.
In the end, it did not cause much loss to the Rakshasa people.
"Siege the city!"
Abu Zhida gave an order, and the generals Aoga, Nomenfu, Sumenfu, and Targujin each led their troops and rushed towards the city wall carrying long ladders.
Wilkin sneered and ordered the three small bronze cannons on the city to fire. Immediately afterwards, the musketeers began to shoot at the city. The intensive firepower blew up and shot down the tribal warriors one by one.
Aoga was furious and led dozens of Yukargir warriors to board the city, but was driven down by Welkin desperately.
The first attack was repulsed, and Abu Zhida's face turned livid, and he wanted to fight the Rakshasa ghost himself. Suddenly he heard a "puff" laugh, and Su He grinned widely, smiling proudly, wantonly and unscrupulously.

"Great Chief Suhe, are you laughing at Qianhu's incompetence and his inability to capture Jansk Castle?" Abuzhda said displeasedly, deliberately pronouncing the word "Qianhu" very strongly, which means: I
I am an official of the imperial court. If you are not the official, how dare you laugh at me?
Not to mention, as the first tribal chief to defect to the Ming Dynasty, he was still very prestigious among the tribes. When he got angry, Su He's laughter immediately stopped.
"Qianhu, I'm not laughing at you, but I lost my temper because I thought of a plan to destroy the city. Please don't blame me!"
As soon as he heard that he had a solution, Abu Zhida immediately responded with joy and asked: "Chief Suhe, do you have any clever ideas? Please tell me quickly."
"Qianhu, I just took a look and found that half of the Rakshasa army in the city are local warriors wearing animal skins. They must be Rakshasa ghosts from the mountains of Yakutia, Okvin, Chukotka, and Kochi.
Warriors recruited from various tribes in Riak. I am not very talented and have quite a reputation among the mountain people in this area. I am willing to lead people to shout outside the city and persuade these warriors to defect before the battle. In this way, it will be easy to break the city!"

"Oh, brother Su He, you are really my lucky general! Don't worry, brother, if this city is defeated, I will definitely report it to the commander-in-chief and show that you are the first to contribute." Abu Rida laughed happily.
Su Hejing selected thirty Yupik warriors with loud voices, came to the city of Verkhnyansk, and shouted: "Fathers and brothers from all the tribes in the city, listen to me. I am the chief of the Yupik people.
Su He, if you don't believe it, look at this big ax in my hand. Our ancestors have lived here for generations, living and working in peace and contentment. But since the Rakshasa ghosts came, they burned, killed, looted, levied heavy taxes, and treated us as slaves.
.Is this bearable? No, never! So I defected to the Ming Dynasty to fight the Rakshasa ghosts, risking my life to take back the land left to us by our ancestors. If you work for the Rakshasa ghosts, thousands of years later
, how to live up to your ancestors. Follow me and return to the Ming Dynasty quickly, that is the right thing!"
"Guiming!"
"Guiming!"
"Guiming!"
The Yupik warriors shouted "Gui Ming" loudly along with Suhe.
On the city wall, the warriors from various tribes recruited by the Rakshasa people looked at each other in disbelief. In this area of the Jansk Mountains, Su He's name was almost unknown to everyone. It was said that he was born with supernatural powers and had superb martial arts, capable of tearing apart tigers and leopards, and slashing bears with his bare hands.
He is also generous and easy to make friends. Even he defected to the Ming Dynasty, why do we have to work for the Rakshasa ghost?
A few short sentences actually caused the Rakshasa people to become distraught.
"Don't listen to his nonsense, shoot, shoot for the governor," Wilkin roared.
The ping ping ping ping ping ping ping ping ping ping ping ping ping ping ping ping ping ping ping ping ping ping ping ping ping ping ping ping ping ping ping ping ping ping ping ping ping ping ping ping ping ping ping gunshot rang out, drowned out Su He's shouting, but could not restore the scattered people's hearts.
"My sons, follow me and kill!"
Abu Zhida personally led the army to attack the city. Seeing that he was desperate, Su He was not to be outdone and went up with an ax. Aoga, Nomenfu, Sumenfu and Targujin all bravely climbed to the city.
The persuasion just now worked. The tribal warriors recruited by the Rakshasa people no longer had the will to fight. No matter how hard the Cossack officers pressed them, they were unwilling to make any effort. When they were forced to do so, they even pulled out their weapons and turned against them.
The Ming army boarded the city, and the Rakshasa army was divided and surrounded until it was eliminated.
"Ula!"
Wilkin raised his battle ax, and the trapped beast continued to fight. A larger and heavier ax came down, one ax knocked his ax away, and another ax killed him.
The fierce general Su He easily beheaded Welkin and then attacked the other Rakshasa soldiers. The enemies were all frightened when the giant ax struck.
Brem wanted to escape again, but this time he was unlucky. Nomenfu and Sumenfu, the sharp archers of the Yukargir tribe, took a liking to him at the same time. The two brothers were always inseparable.
"Whoosh", Nomenfu's arrow pierced his throat.
"Whoosh", Su Menfu's arrow went straight into the back of his head.
The Upper Yansk Fort was destroyed and the treasury was sealed. Abuzhda was so happy that he couldn't open his mouth from ear to ear. In the Rakshasa people's warehouse, a lot of various materials were stored, and there were more than a thousand mink skins.
He grinned at Su He and said, "Brother Su He, we have made a fortune." Then he smiled and asked Bai Yintibu: "Big shopkeeper, please help me calculate how much silver are these worth?"
Baiyin Tibu frowned and reminded: "Qianhu, you are now an officer. According to the rules of the army, all seizures should be returned to the public. After the war, the imperial court will reward you."
"That's it," Abuzhida swallowed, "then he handed half of it to the court, and the other half was given to his sons for the winter."
Baiyin Tibu said no more. When a cannon is fired, thousands of taels of gold are obtained. Even for the Ming army with strict military discipline, it is not uncommon for the Ming army to embezzle and seize it, let alone these barbarians. They also make the horses not eat grass and make the horses run fast.
, is impossible.
"Brother, Verkhovyansk is not yet rich. Rakshasa ghosts have built three winter camps along the Kolyma River: Upper Kolymask, Middle Kolymask, and Lower Kolymask. All the people living in them are
The immigrants of Rakshasa ghosts have piled up mountains of gold, silver and jewels. If we capture these three winter camps, we will really make a fortune," Su He said suddenly.
When he heard that there was a chance to make a fortune, Abu Zhida couldn't help but his eyes flashed red, "Brother, without further ado, let's have a rest tonight. Early tomorrow morning, you and I will go to fight Kolymask together, and grab some Rakshasa women to keep warm."
