Ming Zhengzhi, I am Zheng Kezang

The coalition forces of Boguoduo, Yanhuang and other kings, who used to be large grain stores, were still short of food, let alone took 5000 people to the Emur River to eliminate the invading Russian army.

What?Didn’t the Qing court have tens of thousands of new immigrants in (old) Aihui and Heilongjiang City (new Aihui)?Why can't you give Yunti the necessary support?Dude, all I can say is you're oversimplifying things.

The Qing court migrated tens of thousands of people to the surrounding areas of Heilongjiang City, but these immigrants first had to cut wood to make houses and settle down, and then they could cultivate fields.It was hard to plant potatoes and some sorghum, but the weather was too short and the output was limited. At most, it could fill one's own stomach, and could not supply the army at all.Some villages even asked the army to allocate some food relief in turn, so as not to starve to death the newcomers in the bitter winter.

Without enough food, Yunti once pinned his hopes on a quick battle.However, it took more than a month for him to mobilize his troops from the front line of Ningguta to the vicinity of Heilongjiang City. During the siege.

Speaking of which, the Russians' new Albazin Fort is the same as the previous two generations. It is a wooden castle, and its defense is not too high. It's just that the Russians have become smarter this time. The location of the new castle is in the south of the Heilongjiang River and Emu The confluence of the Er River is opposite to the old city across the Heilongjiang River.The north, east, and south sides of the city rely on river defenses, and the attackers can only launch from the mountainous area in the west. The narrow terrain virtually limits the scale of troops used.

In addition to the limited direction of attack, the bigger problem for the Yunti army is firepower.

In order to enhance his own strengths and avoid weaknesses, Yunti deliberately gave up the deployment of a large number of artillery, firecrackers and other firearms in the army. This is exactly the same as the battle of Sanjiangkou. The Qing army can only use flesh and blood to resist the Russian artillery fire , It is bound to pay a huge price, which is what Yunyu, who is stretched out in strength, is unwilling to pay.

Of course, Yunti is not without artillery, but the artillery it possesses is far inferior to the Russians in terms of caliber, quantity, and gunner's skills, and it cannot play its due role in siege.

As a last resort, Yunyu had no choice but to implement a long-term blockade against his will.Fortunately, due to the constraints of the terrain, the Russians could not easily break through the blockade of the Qing army, posing a threat to the military base behind the Qing army.Whether it's just fishing and hunting, or the army station in the rear, they can't meet the needs of 5000 people, which makes Yunyu almost turn gray overnight.

After Heilongjiang froze, the problem became more serious.The original blockade line could no longer prevent the Cossack cavalry from slipping out of the ice. Yunti needed to disperse his troops, dig longer trenches along the Emur River and Heilongjiang River, and arrange more antlers, so that he could not fight in fishing and hunting. Put in more manpower.

Seeing that the Russians were about to starve to death before the Russians starved to death, Yunti had no choice but to send someone to ask Emperor Tongzhi for help urgently.

Emperor Tongzhi also helped. He collected and scraped around Xinjing, and managed to collect potatoes and other miscellaneous grains from a hundred horse-drawn sleds and sent them to Yunti, which saved Yunti from the danger of running out of food.But Yunyu understood that this hundred carts of food was probably the last supply, and there was no one else to count on.

"Siege the city!" One hundred carts of grain sounds like a lot, but it is only ten catties per person for 5000 people. For this reason, Yunyu had to make the decision he was least willing to make. "The Orosians had previously transported millions of catties of grain by water. As long as the city of Yaksa is captured, it will not be a problem to eat new grain on the market."

So under the threat of hunger, the Qing army began to prepare, and the blockade trenches on the west side began to extend inwards. This was originally a last resort for the Qing army to hide from the artillery, but it turned out to be the only correct way to deal with the bastion. Offensive mode --- seeing the Qing army's digging bit by bit, the Russian army couldn't sit still.

In order to invade the Heilongjiang River Basin, the Governor of Lower Baikal, Ivan Fedorovich Kdrient, put together a team of 500 people and 800 artillery pieces, of which 700 people carried three artillery pieces and crossed the Ergun River into the Xiaoxing'an Mountains On the west side, the remaining [-] men and twelve artillery pieces are all deployed in the New Albazin Fort.

Although the strength of the Russian army is only one-fifth weaker than that of the 5000-strong Qing army, according to Major Liyev, the commander transferred from Moscow, a thousand musketeers and a thousand Cossack cavalry are enough. Teach the natives a lesson.Therefore, after the Qing army approached the New Albazin Fort with "correct" tactics, Major Liev, who was full of confidence and worried too much, disregarded the dissuasion of several captains and Cossack leaders around him, and took the initiative to submit a letter of war to Yunyu. It is required to decide the outcome with a hearty field battle.

Without knocking on the enemy's "strong" castle, Yunyu was naturally overjoyed, and hastily agreed to the opponent's request.However, Yun Yu is not a first-time brother on the battlefield. In order to prevent the opponent from playing tricks, he held a deputy commander in his hand as a contingency reserve team, but he never thought that the opponent would fight wholeheartedly. The ratio of troops is doubled.

Of course, three to one also has an overwhelming advantage, but the plains outside the city are too narrow, and the Qing army cannot invest at one time, so in fact, the gap between the two sides is not as big as imagined.

The Battle of New Albazin Fort broke out on October 1713, the second year of Tongzhi in the Qing Dynasty, 7221 in the Western calendar, and [-] years after the creation of the Russian calendar.

At the right time, Yunti took the leaders of the javelins as the front line, and the vests and infantry were hidden behind the javelins, and slowly approached the Russian army formation; Behind the firearms unit.

Seeing that the Qing army was pressing over, the Russian army first fired artillery.The Qing army did not fight back because the artillery power was too small. As a result, the front row of bird musketeers was punched out by the Russian artillery fire.However, the Qing army still marched forward under the rain of bullets. After a quarter of an hour, it exchanged a huge price for a confrontation with the Russian musketeers.

In terms of military strength, the two deputy capital commanding departments of the Qing army participated in the war with a total of ten birds and blunderbuss leaders. Calculated at full strength, there were a total of 250 people. They had a slight advantage over the Russian musketeers, but when they broke through the Russian artillery fire, The Qing army lost nearly 300 people, so it was inferior to its opponent in terms of strength.In addition, the Qing army still used the so-called nine-in-ten and ten-chain multiple horizontal formations, so the amount of ammunition dropped per unit time was far less than that of opponents with only three horizontal formations. As a result, within a quarter of an hour, the Qing army suffered another casualty killed more than 500 people, while the Russian army only suffered less than [-] casualties.

The blunderbuss leader of the Qing army was already on the verge of collapse. At this time, the vests and infantry armor of the Qing army suddenly emerged from the gunpowder smoke and rushed straight at the Russian army's blunderbuss array.Seeing that the Qing army pulled out their hole cards, the Russian musketeers immediately dispersed to both sides, and a thousand Cossack cavalry brandished their sabers and rushed towards the opponent who was only a dragoon cavalry.

Although the equestrian skills of both sides were not very fast, the Cossack cavalry still showed amazing martial arts skills, inflicting heavy damage on the Qing army in front of them.However, the Qing army obviously has no way to retreat, so some vests and infantry saw that they could not beat their opponents in horse battles, so they simply abandoned horses and foot battles, dragging the Cossacks who lost their horse speed abruptly from their horses.

The Cossacks couldn't stand the Qing army's life-for-life tactics, and more than 1000 people melted like an iceberg in the sun.At this time, some of the Qing army's vests and infantry abandoned the Cossacks who could no longer take advantage of the cavalry battle, and rushed towards the Russian musketeers, but were knocked down by the Russian army's direct-pointing artillery.It was because of the desperate shooting of artillery and muskets that a very small number of Cossacks broke out from the Qing army formation, but at this time the two sides were already very close, and the Qing army, which had experience in the battle of Sanjiangkou, was paying a huge price Then rushed into the ranks of Russian musketeers.

Seeing that the Russian army could be massacred, at this moment, the last [-] Russian troops, including gunners, rushed over with eight-foot-long Cossack spears and stabbed them. As the rest of the Russian army retreated into the New Albazin Fort, only the artillery and wounded could only be abandoned outside the city.

A short and bloody battle ended in this way. The Russian army suffered more than 500 casualties and lost twelve extremely important artillery pieces. The Qing army paid the price of 3000 people, which was also seriously injured.

After the war, Yunti sent someone to inform Major Liyev, asking him to hand over the city of Yaksa and a set of weapons as agreed, and then return to Russia.

Considering that after the Qing army seized the Russian artillery, the New Albazin Fort could no longer be defended. This "bad thing" Major Liev had no choice but to agree to Yunxi's request with "nobility's reputation", but only hoped to keep his personal belongings and some self-defense weapons.

In view of the fact that the Russians were willing to hand over the city of Yaksa completely, Yunti agreed that the Russian army would retain one hundred muskets and some swords as self-defense weapons, and generously allowed the Russians to take away the troops from the surrounding areas of Barhu, Sauron, Oroqen, and Qi. Fur from the village of Leer.

Major Liev, who was overjoyed, offered his sword to Yunti outside Yaksa City early the next morning.Then, under the escort of three thousand Qing troops, the Russian army fled back to the country along the frozen Heilongjiang.And Yunyu, who had completely taken over the Yaksa grain depot, finally breathed a sigh of relief. Although the grain in Yaksa city was not as much as he imagined, the remaining hundreds of thousands of catties of grain and nearly a thousand horse carcasses outside the city had already passed away. Let the Qing army not have to worry about it for a short time, and then arrange daily fishing and hunting, at least this winter can survive

"When Jin Baojin returns, let him lead his troops to stay here." After the victory, Yunti ordered. He was very worried that the Russians would make a comeback, so he stayed despite the serious and irreparable loss of troops. A more than half-damaged Vice Capital Headquarters stayed behind in Yaksa City. "As for these cannons." Yunyu thought about it for a while, and finally reluctantly gave up. "It's better to stay and guard Yaksa." Speaking of this, Yunyu took further care. "The Karen at the mouth of the Erguna River will be re-established, so we can warn in advance if there is any disturbance. In addition, the Russians go down the river, so we have to find a way to build ships to fight against it." Although the mouth is talking about Russians, But what Yunyu was thinking about was the red single boat of the Xia army that was said to be rampaging down the lower reaches of Bolitun. "By the way, tell Heilongjiang City to prepare for shipbuilding"
