Chapter 987 Attack on the Rakshasa
In fact, Yibatu himself was also confused. Are they the Qing army or the Ming army? If it was the Qing army, then they belonged to the Eight Banners soldiers or the foreign vassal army? But it is unreasonable to say that they were the Qing army. They had no feelings for the Qing army, but they had closer contacts with the Ming army. But if it was the Ming army, they were also the Qing army.
These Jurchens did not have much feelings for the Qing Dynasty or the Ming Dynasty. They neither recognized the Ming Dynasty nor did they have much identification with the Qing Dynasty. However, they neither hated the Qing Dynasty nor hated the Ming Dynasty. They just wanted to live their own lives. However, since the Rakshasa people came, I heard that many tribes were exterminated by the Rakshasa people.
The arrival of Subud brought them a good life. It is said that Subud was a Mongolian Khan, but he had a Han man named Li Hong. When Subud arrived in the outer Xing'anling area, he incorporated a large number of Jurchens into his army, which is said to be the Eight Banners Army. The reason why it is called the Eight Banners is that they are not the real Eight Banners Army, because according to regulations, Subud could not have more than 500 Eight Banners soldiers of Niulu. In fact, those Jurchens who were called armored men were soldiers who were lower than the Qiding Ding but higher than Baoyi.
Subud sent troops to land on Sakhalin Island, and fought with the Japanese on the island and the Rakshasa people who arrived later.
After encountering the Japanese, the rifled rifle and powerful crossbow in the hands of the Qing army made the Japanese iron gunners cry and cry for their parents. Then the flintlock gunners approached and shot with their faces. Finally, infantry holding bows and arrows and machetes chased and killed the Japanese.
However, Subud did not completely drive the Japanese out of Sakhalin Island, because the Rakshasa people then came to the island. The clever Subud used the Rakshasa people and the Japanese to kill each other and built a castle and a small seaside port town on the beach. From here, he continuously obtained ammunition and weapons supplied by the Ming Dynasty, and also provided food and food supplies to the Ming colonial fleet.
A canning factory was also built in the seaside town. The fish caught in winter were made into canned food, and then sold to the Ming Dynasty through merchant ships from the Ming Dynasty. At the same time, the goods sold to the Ming Dynasty were also fur, ginseng, deer antlers and other goods, and exchanged for silver, weapons, cotton, tea, tobacco and other items.
No one in the Qing Dynasty knew that Su Bude was actually a detailed work of the Ming Dynasty. It is unprecedented that a traitor from the Ming Dynasty can become the prince of the Qing Dynasty.
Just as the Qing army was moving upstream along the north bank of Heilongjiang, an Oroqen soldier named Amba suddenly rode back from the front and shouted: "Yibatu, it's not good, I'm found a castle of the Rakshasa people in front!"
"Rakshasa people's castle?" Yibatu was shocked. He did not expect that he would defend against the Rakshasa people from the beach, but the Rakshasa people built a castle on the north bank of Heilongjiang! Those hateful Rakshasa people are really hard to defend against.
"This castle has stuck in the main traffic road, but we don't have cannons, how can we capture this castle?" asked a Daur warrior.
"All the magic gunmen, go up with me." Yibatu shouted.
The magic gunman is a rifled gunman. Yibatu has five rifled gunman, forty flintlock gunman, thirty strong crossbowmen and one hundred archer cavalry.
Yibatu took five rifled gunmen to find the approaching castle. After arriving less than a mile away from the castle, they were ambushing in a jungle and observed the Rakshasa castle in front of them with a telescope.
Telescopes were naturally transported from the Ming Dynasty. Now the Ming Dynasty's transparent glass technology has been improved, so you can produce telescope lenses by yourself. In this way, the telescopes do not need to be imported from various countries in Thailand, and the cost will be greatly reduced.
From the telescope, you can see a group of Rakshasa soldiers holding muskets and supervising some slaves to work. The slaves all had black hair, yellow skin, and dark eyes like Yibatu and others.
Seeing that the Rakshasa people were enslaving compatriots of their own tribe, Yibatu was furious. He gestured to ask the five rifled gunmen to prepare for work. After the gesture was exchanged, everyone aimed at a Rakshasa soldier.
Yibatu put a Rakshasa soldier between the sight star and the mountain, and pulled the trigger at three points and one line.
A roaring gunfire sound was heard, and the gun was spitting out flames, and white smoke filled the head of the Rakshasa soldier who was locked by him spewed out a blood mist. He didn't even hum, and fell down straight like a wooden stake.
"Bang bang bang" gunshots are the signal. Five rifled gunmen pulled the trigger one after another. The gunshots roared, and bloody mist sprayed out from the heads or bodies of the five Rakshasa soldiers, falling down one after another.
Hearing the gunshots, seeing the Rakshasa soldiers around him fall down, the slaves immediately raised the tools in their hands and smashed the panicked Rakshasa soldiers on the head.
Their tool is a hoe, which is used to dig trenches for Rakshasa people. The hoe is used to hoe the ground, but it is also very useful to hoe the heads of Rakshasa people.
Sixteen Rakshasa soldiers were originally in charge of the supervisor. Sixteen Rakshasa soldiers were shot to death by someone coldly. The remaining ten people fell down inexplicably when they saw their comrades. They were panicked for a moment, but were hoeed by the slaves on their heads. Several Rakshasa people were scooped on the spot, and some were smashed to death and fell to the ground with blood.
"Go away!" someone shouted.
After the slaves smashed all the remaining ten Rakshasa soldiers, they threw down their tools, turned around and ran away.
In the castle, Xie Miao Nigerioff, who was standing at the top of the castle, was watching his young man supervising the lowly slaves working with interest, suddenly heard a burst of gunfire and saw his soldiers falling down one by one. He turned his telescope and looked in the direction where the gunfire came, and saw white smoke constantly spraying out from a forest three hundred feet (about two hundred meters) away.
"Damn it! Where did those barbarians get the muskets?" Xie Miao Nigerioff was shocked. "It seems that it is still a rifle! Only rifle can hit that far!"
"It must be a rifle that can shoot a musket that is three hundred feet away!" said the Cossack officer.
"The barbarians cannot create rifles by themselves. It is probably a weapon given to the barbarians by the Khitans!" said Xie Miao Nigerioff.
The Khitans in the words of the Rakshasa people mean the Chinese. Whether it was the Song Dynasty or the Ming Dynasty, they were called Khitans. The Jurchens and Mongols were called Tatars by them.
"Shelev, hurry up, take a team of cavalry out! Those riflesmen load bullets very slowly. Your cavalry rushed over, and they couldn't run away and they couldn't load them!" Xie Miao Nizhnioff gave the order.
Selev rushed out of the castle with forty Cossack cavalry and ran towards the woods where white smoke had just emerged. The slaves captured by the Rakshasa people were running into the woods. At this time, Selev didn't care about the slaves anymore, and just wanted to catch up with the hateful attackers and chop them all into meat paste.
After Yibatu and the others fired the bullets, they were loading nervously.
"Captain, no, the Rakshasa cavalry is here!" Before the bullets were loaded, someone shouted in the direction of the castle.
The reloading speed of the rifled rifle is too slow. After the blow, you have to clean up the snatch the rifle. The bullets have to be nailed in with a hammer. It is already very fast to be able to fire one round in a minute.
"It's too late, go!" Yibatu shouted.
A group of Qing soldiers immediately rode their horses and drove the war horses to run eastward.
The Cossack cavalry chased after him. When Selev saw the men in front of him with muskets running on short horses, he couldn't help laughing: "Hahaha! These lowly and short Tatars, they rode short horses, were like monkeys riding donkeys! Chase! They couldn't run away from us, chased us, and killed them all!"
"Kill!" the Cossack cavalry shouted, driving the Don hippo to chase him.
The Don hippo is a mixed stallion between Mongolian horses and Arab warm-blooded horses. This horse has the endurance of a Mongolian horse and the speed of a Western war horse. The Mongolian horses riding by the Qing army could not escape the Don hippo.
