"Gashanda, raising an army is a big deal. You have to think carefully. Even if we win this time, the Lucians will definitely retaliate once we leave. Therefore, after the war, the young and old of Woidetun will probably have to move." Rui Zhiyuan went to the local area.

The leader, Zalasi, translated Zhixiu's words.

"Your Excellency is very righteous, but if you don't take revenge, all the young and old in the village will have to swallow your breath."

Woidetun is a gathering place for the Hezhefeyaka people on the left bank of the Wulong River Estuary. It is not far from each other in the upper reaches of Miaotun. Zalasi is the local leader "Gashanda".

When mentioning the Lucians, Zalasi and the companions around him all gritted their teeth.

Last winter Woidetun was severely attacked by the Lucians. Even the leader Zalasi was captured and was only recently released.

The Lucians' rule in nearby areas was very rough. They often carried out robberies under the pretext of trading, and sometimes they did not even find excuses. They robbed whatever they saw and insulted women. Therefore, after 1850,

Conflicts between the Lucians and local tribes occurred from time to time.

In the last trade between the execution office and the tribe, dozens of muskets were sold, and several nearby tribes were preparing for conflict.

Despite preparations, these villages were still hit by disasters last winter.

Taking Woidetun as an example, the first Lucian soldiers from Miaotun came to rob it. At that time, Zalasi's wife and sister were insulted, and the tribe offered many things before they were let go.

But what I didn't expect was that not long after, another group of Lucians came to ruin it again. The Hezhen tribe was originally relatively poor, and they couldn't bear it after being robbed for the second time. Zalasi led his people to resist, using smoothbore weapons

Several cavalrymen were shot to death, but they were outnumbered and finally defeated. After the war, not only were more than a dozen men killed on the spot as punishment, but Zalasi's family was also captured. When the enemy left, they burned several wooden houses.

Already.

After this catastrophe, Woidetun did not even have enough food rations, so it had to send people everywhere to ask for help. However, the surrounding tribes were even more miserable. Several small tribes with about 20 households were actually killed by the whole village.

This winter in Woidetun was extremely miserable. Many old people and children starved to death. Zalasi was also tortured in Miaotun for a whole winter. He was not released until a while ago, and he was asked to come back to prepare for the redemption of his property.

Return to family.

When Naohsiu led his people to Woidetun, they saw such a miserable scene. Originally, the warriors from the training camp who went north this time were not very motivated to fight. It was only because of the prestige of Naohsiu and the group leaders that they came to attack the Lucians.

, but after hearing and witnessing the atrocities committed by the Lucians, they all asked Naohide to immediately send troops to attack the thugs.

Zhixiu came here to gather internal agents, first to detect the movements of the Lucians, and then to attack the Lucians. However, before the prepared gifts were taken out, the Hezhe people asked Zhixiu to help them pay them - Woidetun's

Some girls were married to soldiers of the White Lord. The two families were considered relatives. Only with this relationship did Hezhe ask for help.

Even if the Hezhe people don't make this request, Naohsiu will still have to fight, but according to the current situation, the original plan needs to be modified.

This year's attack on the Lucian stronghold at the mouth of the Wulong River is in pursuit of a long-decided plan, and June is the appropriate time after discussion.

The time window for the raid on the Wulong River Estuary is only one month. Zhixiu must pull out the two nails of the Lucians before the end of June - the Wulong River Estuary thaws in early May, the northern strait of the Whale Sea disappears in ice at the end of May, and the North Sea freezes in the end of June.

Passable.

If we don't launch it in June, we may encounter gunboats from Kamchatka Peninsula at other times, which would be terrible.

In order to win, this time Bai Zhu followed almost everything

All out: After the state of emergency was declared, only 2 of the original 11 teams were left, the other 4 naval teams, 5 land teams and the newly formed 6 teams, a total of 160

Many people took five boats to go north.

Speaking of which, this is the third time that the Enforcement Office has visited the Wulong River Estuary - the first time was in early June 1851 when Naohide led a team to investigate the situation, and the second time was in October 1851 when Hori Naoyoshi, Horizhiyuan and the coastal tribes

Trade.

At this time, the Rusians did not have much influence in the lower reaches of the Wulong River. They only had two permanent strongholds. One was the Nikolayevsk outpost established in Miaotun in August 1850, and the other was Perov on the north bank of the Jiangkou Bay.

winter camp, and except for a few small boats, there is no navy - the trade volume here is too small to support large ships.

According to the information from the Hezhen people, there are nearly 200 Lucians in Miaotun, including cavalry and infantry. However, the information about Perov's winter camp is unclear - in fact, the Hezhen people don't even know where the winter camp is.

When the Fengxingsuo team took a boat to go north, there were people exploring Jiangkou Winter Camp and Miaotun, so their whereabouts had long been exposed, but this was also part of the original plan.

He didn't intend to go head-to-head with others, so how could he be willing to show off his hard-earned family background?

The original plan was to lure the snake out of its hole or fish in troubled waters:

Find a few Hezhe people to go to the temple to report that there are merchants doing business. It is estimated that the greedy Lucians will definitely send troops to plunder. As long as five ships are allowed to leave empty, the Lucians will definitely raid various tribes.

If luring the snake out of its hole fails, Naohsiu plans to have everyone pretend to be Hezhe people and attack the temple at night. Anyway, there are few people in Lucia. As long as the intelligence is detailed, they will definitely suffer a big loss. However, fishing in troubled waters is far from being as good as the plan to lure the snake out of its hole.

The loopholes in the original plan were how to find a safe place to stay and how to get the Hezhe people to inform. However, I didn't expect that the Lucians were going the other way here, so these two problems were solved without any effort.

Zhixiu was afraid that people like Woidetun would perform too hard because of their deep hatred, so he revised the plan with his staff and the team leader, and then began to implement the plan to lure the snake out of its hole.

Zalaxi took Da Toubi Zhiyuan and others to a nearby village to do business, and used the Yingyang, muskets, wine, grain and other goods brought by Zhixiu to trade girls - the nearby villages were also robbed, what now?

There is no way to get them out, so this is the only way to trade, and the leader of the village and his whole family were also captured, so after the transaction is completed, someone will naturally go to the temple to redeem the people, and they are not afraid that the Lucians will not know about it.

Because of the help of ships, Zalasi and others were very energetic, so they quickly completed transactions with nearby Trin Tun, Biaoerguo Tun and other places.

Naohide was very bad. He had made preparations before and asked several Ainu people to pretend to be Westerners. Originally, the facial features of the Ainu people were like those of Europeans, with high noses and prominent facial features, plus hairstyles, Western military uniforms, and pocket watches.

, and then he said nonsense words that no one could understand. How could these tribesmen tell them apart?

Zalasi's acting skills are amazing. When he meets the leader who has been released, he recalls the days when they suffered in the temple together. When he meets the tribe whose leader has not been released, he tells in detail how the leader of the other party was tortured in the temple. In short, he overachieved.

After completing the mission, Hui Zhiyuan reported that several tribes sent people to the temple to redeem people before they left.

After the plan was sold, Zhixiu asked people to drive away the ships quickly. On the way, they must go to the temple to provoke, so that the Lucians can attack boldly with confidence.

Naohide left this matter to Nakahama Manjiro, the navy chief. Manjiro, who had seen strong winds and waves, must have done it flawlessly.

As for Naohide and Hori Naoyoshi, they led the remaining more than a hundred people to ambush in Woi.

Near Detun, prepare to wipe out as many Lucians as they come.

Woidetun, Trilintun and Biaoerguotun are the three largest nearby villages, all of which can hide troops. Zhixiu only chose Woidetun because the terrain here is the best - Woidetun was built

On a protrusion on the left bank of the Wulong River, there is a small natural dock. What's even better is that there is a hill to the west, forming a half-moon-shaped terrain. The opponent can only attack from the west, and when escaping,

There are only two roads going north and south under the mountain.

But this era is not good. There is no air force to inform everyone, and there are no walkie-talkies. Fortunately, there are still message trees available. You can cut down a tree on the top of the mountain to notify everyone that the Lucians are coming.

Sure enough, on June 21, seven days after Manjiro left, the Lucians finally appeared. However, this group of bandits was very cautious. There were more than 120 cavalry in total, and they actually sent an advance team of more than ten people.

Originally, most of Woidetun was shacks with only a few wooden houses, but these wooden houses were also set on fire by the Lucians last winter. Fortunately, after the arrival of the enshrinement team, many more shacks were built——

It's impossible not to build them. Although the weather is above freezing at this time, it is still very cold, and the original number of shacks is not enough.

In order to facilitate construction, the shacks here are all cone-shaped, with large logs added with grass and branches, and no windows at all. This kind of building is not suitable for street fighting at all.

Fortunately, there were no tanks, armored vehicles, automatic or semi-automatic weapons at this time, and the poor Lucians did not even have grenades. In the mid-17th century, some elite troops in European countries were equipped with grenades. Soldiers who used this ammunition were called

Grenadiers, but in the 19th century, muskets fired farther and farther, and grenades were once ignored. It was not until the Battle of Fuso Lucia in 9104 that it regained attention.

The technical requirements for grenades are not high. The last time the rice boat came, dozens of boxes were sent to Master Bai.

In addition to grenades, there are more than 20 shotguns and some Colt-Patterson revolvers in the group, which are also weapons for close combat - these revolvers are still loaded with ammunition in the front, but these days there are

Not bad, what else do I need for a bicycle?

Naohide knew that the soldiers under his command were poorly trained and had no battlefield experience, so he deliberately used weapons and tactics to make up for it.

One of the happiest things in the world is that I have it but my opponent doesn’t, and the equally happy thing is that the enemy has pig teammates - the advance team swaggered into the village without much investigation. I don’t know if they are brave or brainless.

.

When most of the Lucian advance team entered the village, there was a sudden burst of gunfire. Only the last two of the ten people were spared. These two people had extraordinary horsemanship and actually turned around and ran away quickly.

In fact, this is part of the plan. If the advance team is wiped out, the result will be a bit shocking. It is normal for a few to run away. Horde, it is like this in battles. The combat effectiveness cannot be too high.

Some of the aborigines have already boarded the boat, and some of the remaining young and strong people were ambushed in the forest - after all, their combat effectiveness was worrying, but a small part was left in the village by Naoxiu. At this time, it was their time to show off, and a group of Hezhe people rushed towards them.

They rushed out and shouted, and some people tried to chase the two deserters.

There really was no arrangement for chasing deserters in the script, so Zalasi quickly came out and shouted loudly, and the group of people went into hiding again.

Naohide looked through the peephole with a telescope, carefully observing the enemy's next reaction.

Based on their attire, the enemies seemed to be in two groups, with two people at the head. Through the telescope, the two seemed to have had a dispute.
