    (); The Cossack cavalry who did not come back on time, of course, was bitten by the Datong cavalry!

    A few days ago, in the northern forest of the middle reaches of Heilongjiang.

    There is a small tribe here that mainly focuses on fishing and hunting. Yegor led more than a dozen Cossacks, and under the guidance of a local guide, he quickly raided the villages of the indigenous tribes.

    It is said to be a village, but in fact it is just a wooden fence around the settlement to guard against wild animals.

    These Cossacks on horseback are not qualified to be called cavalry.

    For example, Yegor, who led the team, was just a runaway serf from Tsarist Russia.  He came to Siberia with the expedition team, and first mixed with Yakutsk (the name of this person, which later became a place name), but Yakutsk was not only cruel to the natives, but also cruel and harsh to his own people.

    A few years ago, news came from farther southeast that there was a big river called Amur (Heilongjiang).  In the lower reaches of the river, it is extremely rich and prosperous, not only has a large population, but also is rich in sable fur, and gold and silver mines have been discovered.

    The Cossacks who drank the wind and snow on the shore of Lake Baikal were suddenly stimulated to scream.

    They couldn't beat the Buryat Mongols head-on, and couldn't cross their territory to the south, so they continued to open up eastward and reached the Pacific coast.  Then, heading south, someone finally saw Heilongjiang.

    Khabarov was one of the best. He not only snatched many livestock and women, but also brought back 450 pieces of sable fur at one time.

    The Cossack bandits are making a splash!

    But the Daur natives were not vegetarians either. When the Cossacks invaded again, the Daurs rose up to resist, and the Cossack bandits were beaten and fled in embarrassment.  Khabarov went back to bring reinforcements and artillery, easily defeated one tribe, and conquered another tribe.

    Hearing that Khabarov had his own fortress, Yegor was very envious.

    Taking advantage of Khabarov's return to trade furs, Yegor and several Cossacks stole Yakutsk's Mongolian horses, and the team that caught up with Khabarov decisively took refuge.

    A Tsarist serf who ran away from Tsarist Russia became a small Cossack leader in this way.

    His riding skills are not good, and he doesn't know how to ride a horse and shoot arrows.  Even to fire a musket, you have to get off your horse and stand up first, and reloading ammunition has to be done on the ground.

    This kind of goods, placed in northern China, should be called horse bandits.

    "ah!"

    A Saharian native man, whose palm was pierced by the point of a gun, rolled on the ground screaming.

    Yegor said to his Daur servants: "Tell them, five furs, for one person. If you want to redeem your family, come here quickly!"

    Although the Daur people and the Sahalian people have different languages, they can barely communicate with each other.

    The servants of Daur quickly conveyed the news, and the Saharian people wept bitterly.

    The more the native prisoners cried, the happier Yegor laughed. He pointed to a prisoner and said, "Kill him and cut off his head. This man,

    Injured two of my men!  "

    The Cossack robber raised his spear and stabbed the prisoner in the stomach.

    Several holes were poked out in a row, and the native captives hadn't died yet.  The Cossack bandits drew their knives against his neck, grabbed his hair and cut it bit by bit, cutting off the captive's head alive.

    The rest of the prisoners were too frightened to cry.

    Yegor said: "Put a few back to report."

    There are very few Cossack bandits. They are not warriors. They can sneak attack if they can, and escape if they can escape.  Unless it is absolutely necessary, he will never fight head-on.

    This looting was the same, more than a dozen Cossack riders raided a village of more than 300 people.

    They attacked by night, set fire to the house with torches, and fired guns everywhere to create chaos, and the natives scattered and fled.  Then, capture the captives immediately, take the captives and flee every day, and exchange these captives for furs.

    Why not just rob the fur?

    Because when the aborigines fled, in addition to the weapons, they subconsciously took away the fur.  Especially the sable fur, which can be exchanged for food, and it is not heavy, so you must take it with you when you run away.

    At this moment, several captives were released and were responsible for delivering news to the stockade.

    "Let's go too!"

    Yegor didn't stop, and took the rest of the captives deeper into the forest to avoid being attacked by the soldiers.

    Of course, two riders remained, leaving marks along the way.  If the aborigines bring furs to replace people, follow the signs to exchange meat tickets.

    If there are many indigenous people, the two riders will run away immediately, meet along the marks and tear up the tickets.

    In the aboriginal village, the clouds are gloomy.

    They do have fur in their hands, and they used to pay tribute to the Manchus.?When they are firing their guns, they should seize the opportunity to rush up and fight.  "

    "good!"

    The boy immediately understood what to do, and called the tribe to retreat and gather.

    The Cossack bandits, after dragging down several wooden fences, rushed into the village on horseback.

    He got off his horse and stood up from a distance, shooting at the villagers.  According to past experience, as long as a few shots are fired, the natives will run away in fright.

    But the aborigines here did not disperse, not because of their high morale, but because the long-distance shooting was not accurate enough, and none of the aboriginal villagers were even injured.

    The natives who have seen the Tartar firearms will not be intimidated by a mess of guns.

    In desperation, Yegor ordered to reload, and rode forward to shoot further.

    "Each find a house to hide!" The boy shouted.

    The native villagers were in a panic, looking for houses as shelters, and the Cossack robbers could only continue to approach.

    Whoosh!

    A burst of sparse arrows came.

    More than a dozen Cossack riders were originally in a loose formation.  Because the natives lacked iron, these hunting bows were not very powerful, as long as they protected the vital points, it didn't matter if they were shot by the leather armor.

    The robbers simply gave up their horses and switched to fighting on foot. They quickly circled around a house and shot.

    The young man was overjoyed when he saw this, and roared: "The robbers have dismounted, their firearms are useless, hurry up and kill the robbers with me!"

    However, the group of natives who were shot had been beaten to pieces.

    A volley of musket fire actually only hit eight people, and the rest of them could beat up these Cossack robbers as long as they rushed over.  But the local aborigines,

    Having been broken by Man Qing, he lost his original blood courage long ago.

    In other words, the young and strong who could fight were all captured by the Manchu Qing to serve as soldiers.

    Only eight people were killed or injured, and more than 30 people nearby collapsed immediately.  As soon as they fled, the natives hiding behind other houses also followed suit.

    "Chasing and killing!"

    Yegor shouted excitedly, ran back and got on his horse.

    More than a dozen Cossack robbers chased after them on horseback.  They held up their spears, and they could overthrow one with one spear. Nearly three hundred natives were chased like a flock of sheep.

    The boy was so angry that his veins twitched violently, and he decided to fight the robber with all his might.

    He hid behind a house and aimed his bow at a robber's throat.  While drawing the bow, he suddenly heard the sound of rumbling horseshoes.

    Yegor also heard the sound of horseshoes, which could only be heard by hundreds of cavalry.  </div&gt
