Win the Ding 1617

ps: Ask for a monthly pass.

Golovin only felt that the governor's office made him breathless, so he simply opened the door and went for a walk in the castle to relax.

It is already October in the lunar calendar, and the wasteland is full of haze, and the clouds in the sky, which are as thick as lead, seem to be just above people's heads.The birch forests in the distance are like oil paintings by Russian painters.Although it is desolate here, the water and grass are fertile, there are many rivers, and the forest stretches.The river valley is wide. On the river side, not far to the northeast, there are mountains and large forests, densely covered with poplar, coniferous forest, birch and other forests. Gazelle, roe deer, rabbits and other things can be seen from time to time.In addition to the beautiful water plants and trees, there are also rich products, precious furs and fish everywhere. Except that it is still a barren land, and the roads are muddy and inconvenient after the traffic opens in spring, this place is simply blessed by nature. A gem for Russia.

Standing on the city wall of Yakutsk Fort, looking out to the outside, there are large expanses of Hirakawa meadows with a wide view, but they are also shrouded in the cloudy sky.

"It's going to snow. I hope this year's damn heavy snow can stop Earl Siris's army in the wasteland, and it's best to freeze them to death in hell!"

Rumors have been circulating in the castle recently that a large number of Earl Seris's troops are approaching Yakutsk from the Aldan River, the Amgar River, and the Lena River Valley.

Inside the castle, the muddy sewage that people trampled on the roads between the houses is everywhere. Even in front of the Orthodox church where mass and worship are held, there are more than a dozen piles of poop from unknown horses.

Soldiers, Cossacks, exiles, adventurers who came to try their luck in Siberia.Thieves and prostitutes inquired each other all over the city for news that could make them rich.

Surrounding Yakutsk Castle, there are also several small castles scattered on the wasteland, which can be regarded as the outer stronghold of Yakutsk Castle.There are dozens of households living in it, or more than a hundred households, or more than two hundred households gathered together. These villages have complicated sources and even more complicated personnel composition.Some Cossacks built here, and some exiles built here, but.At present, most of them can become the defense stronghold of Yakutsk Castle.

The buildings of these castles.Most of them are simple and extensive, with wooden fence walls made of thick wooden pillars, and some buildings are scattered in a mess inside the fence.Most of them are the kind with the door facing in and the house wall facing outside.Several households gathered together in one place.Cover each other.It is a bit similar to courtyard houses and Hakka earth buildings in Fujian and Guangdong.

On the wall of the house made of rammed earth.There are perforations one by one, which are closed with wooden boards, and these wooden boards are opened when something happens.These residents can use bows, arrows, and leather guns to shoot outside through these small windows.

This kind of building integrates residence and defense. For the sake of safety, most of them dug a circle of trenches under the wooden fence wall. Dozens of Raksha people can kill hundreds of Evenk people in the wooden fence with leather guns. People, as well as some indigenous tribes, were beaten and fled.

However, can such fortifications withstand the legendary Earl Siris who has an army of [-]?

"God! Please send heavy snow earlier to stop these horrible heretics thousands of miles away!" Golovin is not a devout Orthodox Christian, but at this time, facing the two people on the roof of the Orthodox Church The horizontal and vertical signs still knelt down devoutly on the city wall, praying to the God who looked down on all living beings in the sky.

But if prayers were useful, Constantinople would not become Istanbul.

Thousands of war horses, tens of thousands of pack horses, and reindeer formed a mighty team, like a rolling metal torrent, extending from Aldan Fort to Amkinsk Fort, which is now renamed Amga River City. On the rough road, thousands of Sauron warriors, armed with weapons, marched forward majesticly under the leadership of their respective tribes' flags. Horseshoes trampled on the wasteland, splashing large swathes of muddy water from time to time.

Since the weather was already cold, the Sauron soldiers in the team had already put on winter clothing.

The leather robe made of roe deer skin hunted in late autumn and early winter is called "Bukunqi Deli (coat)", and the fur is dense and thick.The robe is knee-length, with gussets on both sides, and buckles braided with cloth strips or copper buttons. It is most suitable for men who go hunting in battle and go out in winter.The cloth surface is not hung, and the hair faces inward, which is heat-retaining and light.

The scouts on both wings and forwards of the team all wear leather jackets made of roe skin facing outwards. This kind of clothing is called "Guoluomu" in Daur, and they are worn when hunting to serve as camouflage.

Everyone in the team wears gloves called "Baoli" that are also made of roe skin. However, they are roughly divided into three types according to the weapons in the hands of the soldiers.

Those who use the large ax captured by the Rakshasa have a two-pronged glove with a single thumb on the thumb and a set of other four fingers called "Haqiboli"; archers wear it to draw the bow at any time Shooting arrows, divided into 1-finger gloves "Horoboli".Wearing gloves that are also divided into two forks, but have openings at the wrists for easy finger extension are called "ermotiboli"; they are soldiers who use tiger guns, long knives, maces and other weapons.

The identities of the people in the team can be distinguished from the fur hats on their heads and the clothes on their bodies.The hats of ordinary soldiers are mostly made of wolf scalp, with the hair facing outwards, ears and horns standing upright, and two eyeballs cut out of black cloth and pasted in the original eye sockets. The glass balls are used as eyes. When walking, as the light changes, the two glass balls are like two wolf eyes.Wearing it when hunting can not only keep warm and cold, but also play a good role in camouflage.

Most of the hats of the chieftains and officers are made of fox fur, and almost all of the hats are inlaid with pearls or gemstones in the two eye sockets of the fox.The Raksha people who were captured and the Daur people who were pro-Jian slave tribes conquered by the Sauron tribe wore roe deer scalp caps called "Miat Magal". The head of the cap is made with the scalp facing outwards, and the ears of the roe deer stand upright.

Almost all wear leather trousers made of wolf, dog, sheep, and roe deer skins, and chaps made of leather or cloth.It is called "Subi" in Daur language, and it is the most wear-resistant, scratch-resistant and cold-proof.

Also use roe deer leg leather as the upper and waist of the boots, and cow ridge leather as the sole of the boots, known as "chikami" leather boots, is a unified standard equipment.The fur on the surface of the boots faces outwards, and is sewn with deer or roe deer tendons according to the fur pattern and color. The inside is filled with Liaodong specialty "Califera grass" to keep warm, absorb sweat and prevent moisture.Wearing this kind of leather boots is light, beautiful, non-stained and non-slip, and it can be walked on the snow easily and silently.

Those slaves and captives.He was detained by the old and the weak among the various tribes holding weapons.Acting as a coolie for pushing carts and carrying, when camping, he was responsible for cutting grass to feed horses, chopping firewood to carry water, and digging ditches for tree fences.The vehicles drawn by mules and horses and the sledges pulled by reindeer carried the food and grass supplies of the whole army for more than ten days.

Except rice noodles.There are also numerous hays.Porcelain pot of beans and meat.Even firewood, nails, etc. were loaded on it, and behind the army, more members of the caravan were urged by Lin Wenbing.Along the frozen Heilongjiang river system, countless dog sledges were used to transport the army's supplies and consumption on the ice.

In this way, the large group of people walked between the two castles that had been recovered by Sauron's army for a long time.

Li Peiting is the temporary coach of this Sauron army.According to his order, the army only walked fifty miles a day, in order to allow the team transporting supplies and supplies to keep up and prevent the army from running out of food.In fact, he was too cautious. In one summer and one autumn, tens of thousands of shi of grain, rice, oil, salt and other things had been stored in several fortresses, which was enough to supply this army to fight. Li Peiting, who was trying to figure out the manpower on the field and calculated the success or failure, still believed in that sentence and was careful to make the Wannian ship.

When marching every day, hundreds of scouts must be sent out to conduct sentry within tens of miles before and after the marching sequence, so as to prevent enemies hiding in the dark from rushing out and hitting themselves with a sap.Another task of these scouts is to survey the marching route and choose the day's camp.

For these warriors who haunt the forest, it is undoubtedly very unaccustomed and even painful to set up camps according to Master Li's standards and requirements every day.

In fact, not to mention the Sauron soldiers who have not yet fully emerged from the state of primitive society, how many of the Mongols still remember how to set up camp?Temujin and even the Mongolian army in the time of Togus Timur set up their camps in a very well-organized and methodical way. They had to choose high ground, not to mention the high ground. On the left and right, the battalions are orderly, with sentries and cavalry everywhere, and comprehensive defense.

In addition, there are various methods of hiding in the camp. They are often located in one place before sunset, and enter another camp after sunset. There are also methods such as fake fortifications, fake camping, and fake lights. Battalion raids, etc., are very difficult.

However, these advantages have long been gradually forgotten by the Mongols, but today's Jiannu Eight Banners have inherited the strict requirements for the camp.

The camp that these Sauron soldiers had just set up at the beginning was like a garbage dump or a refugee concentration camp, with one place in the east and one place in the west.In desperation, Li Peiting had no choice but to send out his subordinates to teach them hand in hand, shouting and roaring in the camp, until he said harshly, which one did not complete the camp as required, and was not allowed to eat. His tent is in place.

However, Li Peiting had learned his lesson. Every day when the battalion sets out, there must be leaders of each department in it, and the battalion officers will take turns among his guard leaders.After choosing a campsite every day, immediately delineate areas for each ministry, which can be regarded as a kind of contracting to households.

However, after they set up camp, it was time to enjoy it immediately. According to the previous agreement, the cooking cart carried by Li Peiting will immediately start preparing meals, supplying hot water, beef and mutton food, flatbread and steamed buns to the soldiers and horses, etc. Although Sauron's soldiers are all good hunters of bears and tigers in the forest, they have never had the habit of washing their feet. They don't care about soaking their feet in hot water, but they welcome the supply of hot tea. Almost all diets contain a lot of high-calorie, High-fat people can't do without tea for a day, so drinking tea is also bound to washing feet.

Coming out of Aldan River Fort, after a few days, these people got used to camping after marching tens of miles every day. After camping, they took their own birch bark buckets to fetch hot water to soak their feet, and then it was a good time to drink tea and eat .

Every day when the soldiers on duty carried the big barrels of fragrant meat, rice, steamed buns, canned green beans, etc. into their respective tents, there was often laughter everywhere immediately, and everyone cheered for joy.

The oil seller combs her hair with water.It's like the people in the Central Plains working hard and farming.The food grown is not necessarily the same as eating by yourself. The life of the nomadic, fishing and hunting people is not as comfortable as the inland people imagined!Although there are wild animals everywhere in the mountains and forests, it doesn't mean that they can often eat meat.

In fact, their lives are very busy and hard. They spend their whole day fishing, hunting, picking, skinning, juping, making felt, and collecting animal dung as fuel.Every year when winter comes, everyone has to worry about how to survive.

As for the fur, tiger bone, bear paw, deer antler, ginseng and other things obtained from hunting and picking.Exchange various living materials such as food and cloth with inland merchants.Tea, salt, iron pots and other daily necessities are also indispensable to them.certainly.Take them to get used to.If you can grab it, grab it, but if you can't grab it...

It was during the Temujin era known as Genghis Khan that there were many poor herdsmen in the Mongolian tribes.It may not be able to eat enough and wear warm clothes, and they can only rely on the otters on the grassland to live, but eating too much otter meat is easy to catch the plague. In the 3000th century, the plague epidemic in Europe was called "Black Death". "Disease" has been rampant for centuries and claimed nearly [-] million lives. It was brought by the Mongolian army and the result of eating too many rex.

(However, the matter of hunting otters was later touted to the sky by a guy who boasted of wolf blood. Some herdsmen used it in exchange for materials and money for making yurts, and relied on otters to marry their wives. Bah! If the Han people discovered the otters Those herdsmen who are so poor that they have only one life can only swallow them indiscriminately to satisfy their hunger no matter how many otters they have.)

In what could be considered an orderly camp, Sauron soldiers laughed and laughed from all the tents. There were two huge copper bowls in front of each of them. One was filled with meat, and the other was filled with thick blackened food. Salt tea.While swallowing the very delicious cooked meat, he drank salty tea in big mouthfuls.

Although the tea leaves are not good, they are just green brick tea or black brick tea boiled with fine salt, but in the eyes of these Sauron soldiers, this is already supremely delicious.

Tea is the life of these nomadic, fishing and hunting peoples. It is okay to not eat meat for a day, but not to drink tea for a day.

And in the large tent located in the center of the camp, it was brightly lit and bustling.

Around the big tent, four six-pound cannons were towed for thousands of miles by the gunners and placed in the temporary artillery positions. The black muzzles pointed at the four guns around the big tent. the way.

In the tent, Li Peiting sat in the middle, Bomubogoer, Aldi and other big and small leaders, according to the strength of their soldiers and horses, sooner or later when they surrendered, they sat in two rows in a tacit understanding, enjoying the food on the table.

Compared with the soldiers outside who only had soft boiled roe deer meat and other food, the food for the chiefs was much richer.In addition to large pieces of roe deer meat for them to eat openly, there is also a pot of yellow pheasant soup in front of them. The soup is boiled with mushrooms and pheasants. The chefs skillfully use spices and refined salt to cook in a copper pot. After several hours, the taste was so delicious that Li Peiting, who has always been very particular about food, couldn't help but drink two more bowls.

With the big cakes, everyone happily drank soup, ate meat and drank tea. They could only be on the march and could not drink alcohol, otherwise it would be a pleasure.

"Tomorrow will be stationed for a day."

Seeing that everyone had almost eaten, Pei Ting began to assign tasks for tomorrow.

It was three days away from the Amgar River Fort. With Pei Ting's attitude of using troops heavily, he planned to build a camp here. Note that it was a camp, not a simple temporary camp.The purpose is to establish a solid support point for one's grain road on the marching route.Let Lin Wenbing have a storage place for the grain and grass supplies that Lin Wenbing escorted, and at the same time, prevent someone from planning to copy his back.

"Follow your lord's order!"

From below Bomubogor, dozens of big and small heads stood up and sang in unison, and the leaders of Sauron's various ministries came to the camp to convey the military order, and suddenly, the camp was full of cheers.

This kind of thing has been happening continuously since the start of the winter hunting. Every few days after walking, a camp will be built in a selected place, leaving hundreds of people to garrison. The leaders of each tribe are also very clear about which tribe will stay There are many people and horses, and the hunting grounds have been expanded for hundreds or even thousands of miles.

Early the next morning, the entire army started building the camp after breakfast.Hundreds of soldiers with Rakshasa axes excitedly carried axes as big as wheels and went to the nearby woods to cut wood to build camps and prepare wood.

The rest of the people, under the command of Pei Ting's competent people, are planning to build houses and dig wells according to the terrain.

The most important thing to build a military village is granaries, forage yards, arsenals, stables, barracks and other buildings.Water wells are also very important. Although the area is not far from the river, for the sake of drinking water safety, several wells are necessary in the camp.

After choosing the terrain, with an order, hundreds of Sauron soldiers each held torches and rushed towards the nearby weeds and bushes that were as tall as a person.The purpose of burning these grasses, shrubs and other vegetation is to clear the shooting area and prevent it from being used by the enemy.At the same time, it also prevents the spread of epidemic diseases and insect pests. In fact, when the first fire burst out of the grass and bushes, many messy small animals escaped screaming and screaming.

Because of the experience of building this kind of camp many times, and the large number of people, the construction of the village was very fast.Along with many slave coolies and auxiliary soldiers, the trees cut down by the axemen in the forest were continuously transported, and these logs that were cut into sections were densely erected by a large group of people along the plot planned with white ash. Raise the wooden wall.

Because of the cold weather, it was impossible to plant the logs deep into the soil, so people adopted a very extravagant method in the eyes of the Saurons: using huge iron nails to connect the logs, behind a log that fell down and piled up. , use the same connection method to build a log wall.

The wooden wall was erected in a prismatic shape, protruding every [-] steps. Along the wooden wall, a not-so-deep but absolutely wide trench was dug to create obstacles on the way forward for the attacking enemies. At the same time, this The ditch will be the foundation for re-establishing the wall after the spring.Generally speaking, the stockade is rectangular, long in the north and south, and short in the east and west. There are two gates in the north and the south, with access roads and suspension bridges.

A hundred steps in front of the two village gates, there is also a triangular fence. The sharp corners in front and the two sides are also dug with ditches, and the road passes obliquely by the triangular fence.

The west side of the army village is close to the water, and the east side may be the key attack point of the enemy. However, there are some hills here. A long wooden house.

There are windows perforated on the second floor of the wooden house, and together with the fence, they form three layers of firepower. If the enemy attacks, they will have the fear of facing the defense line of Changling Mountain. There are tall watchtowers.

And in the hidden place of the wooden wall, two inconspicuous huts were built with thick logs, where two three-pound guns will be placed, which will become a big killer to deter nearby tribes.

As for this crooked stockade, although the Saurons have built several places, giving people an inexplicable taste, as if it is very powerful, but they can't tell what is so powerful.

Facing this village, Bomu Bogor frowned, and secretly speculated that even if there were only 300 people stationed in this village, even if thousands of people came, they might not be able to defeat them, or even hit their heads After suffering heavy casualties, Poxueliu came back in a feather, but within thousands of miles, which tribe can muster thousands of soldiers and horses?Thinking of this, he was immediately overjoyed, "It seems that uncle has occupied this land. This land covered by the Changshengtian will be completely imprinted by uncle from now on."

In fact, the entire building of the village is made of wood.The walls are made of rough logs, the roof is made of wood, and the floors and floors are also made of wood. Fortunately, with iron nails, the construction of the building is still easy and fast.Considering the severe winter in the Northland, wooden boards are laid under each barracks, and there is a certain distance from the ground.

Although the stockade was not big and a bit rough, it was stronger than it was. The thick and sturdy logs as tall as a person were nailed together horizontally and vertically with thick iron nails, and they were closely connected to form a dense fence.

This kind of continuous, tall, and strong pile of wood, whether it was shot by the bows and arrows of the Rakshas or the Saurons, at most they were only slightly inserted into it.

On the other hand, there are dense perforations on the wooden wall. The enemy outside cannot see the real situation clearly, but the defenders inside can shoot outside calmly, and the defense is effective.

And there are places for artillery to shoot on the wooden walls, which can be described as impenetrable. (To be continued..)
