The Northeast has a vast area and fertile land, but most of the places are undeveloped forests. It is cold in winter and lasts for a particularly long time, making it a place of bitter and cold that has always been bitter and cold.

Moreover, there are a lot of ethnic minorities in the area, many of which are the most primitive tribes. Under the high-pressure policy of the Qing Dynasty, most of them chose to submit to him and become part of the Manchus. However, some of them were unwilling to surrender, so they fled into the mountains and forests, hid their traces, and became savages.

There were few Manchus. Although a large number of Han people were captured from the Central Plains, they did not trust these Han people. Instead, they trusted those who were few and could not threaten their rule. For those ethnic minorities that could not be conquered, the Qing army would send troops to conquer and conquer them everywhere in their spare time every year, forcing them to capture ethnic minority people who were unwilling to surrender into the army.

It is indeed much better to follow the Qing army to plunder everywhere than to be a savage in the deep mountains and forests. Therefore, most of the people who were raped later became extremely supportive of the Qing Dynasty. But there are always exceptions. A few young people who fled into the deep mountains hated the Qing Dynasty and found every opportunity to attack the Qing army.

And Han Yong and the others were in trouble.

Meng Yue led ten cavalry to go first, and as a sentry cavalry to the vicinity of Ningguta. Han Yong handed over his soldiers to Liu Mazi and Yu Wen, and took Wu Xiong, Lin Fengyue and all the cavalry to set off later. They took advantage of the night to bypass the Qing army's outpost, then gathered again, and set off for the trip.

They built all their hair into money rat braids, wore Qing army uniforms, and were guided by soldiers who were proficient in Manchu language. They did not encounter much trouble along the way. This was thanks to the weather in the northeast, which was cold and there were few pedestrians on the road. But this also brought them unexpected troubles, the speed of travel was much slower, and many people were frostbite.

About a hundred miles away from Ningguta, they found a leeward-looking and hidden valley to rest. Some soldiers were guarded around, most of them stayed in the snow piles, bonfires were burning around, and resting with horses. The valley was filled with the aroma of barbecue and a faint smell of alcohol, which was unique to Han Yong.

After tonight, I gradually approached Ningguta, and it would be difficult to rest and eat such hot food any more.

In the middle of the night, a sharp whistle suddenly sounded, followed by the muffled groan of the soldiers falling to the ground. Han Yong suddenly opened his eyes, held a knife in his hand, and shouted loudly: "Enemy attacks, all the enemy will attack." Then he reached out and grabbed a burning wooden stick and threw it in the direction of the movement. Sparks splashed, illuminating a area. Under the light were a bunch of savages wearing cotton coats, holding bows and arrows, and painted ink on his face.

The soldiers around them also reacted quickly, and stood up quickly and protected the surroundings with wooden shields. Although they seemed a little confused at first, their vigilance and long-term training quickly made them react and began to fight back.

When the savages saw that they could not succeed, they whistled and fled backwards. Han Yong directed the army to pursue them, but the savages ran quickly in the night and disappeared into the darkness in a short while. Only a dozen savages were stopped and surrounded by them.

A savage saw them, looking like crazy, and slashed at the soldiers closest to him with a knife. However, Lin Fengyue kicked over and then cut off his head. He held the knife in his hand and ordered the soldiers around him: "If anyone dares to resist, just kill me directly, leave one or two living mouths."

The savages seemed to be fierce, and the soldiers around them were also fierce, and they couldn't help but feel fear. One of them put down his weapon, and some of them followed the other people. The remaining three or five were still holding weapons, but after an arrow was pierced by a soldier, he put them down.

Finally, 12 were killed and more than 30 were injured. Han Yong angrily scolded the secret stakes. They should have warned them. But the soldiers were also very aggrieved. These savages were dressed in black and had no movement at all when they walked. If they hadn't arrived in front of them, they wouldn't have found that half of the twelve people were killed and injured.

Lin Fengyue came over and said to Han Yong: "Han Guerrilla, eleven were caught, but I couldn't understand the bird songs they said, so I found Sariman. They were part of the Oroqen tribe and thought they were attacking the Qing army."

Han Yong shouted and cursed: "Grandma, I'm so bear, I'll give the Tartars."

Lin Fengyue said: "What should we do now? Kill them directly? If the Qing army knows this news, it will cause us a lot of trouble."

Han Yong waved his hand, "Kill them? How could it be possible? The Tartars didn't laugh directly. At this time, how many people dared to attack the Qing army like this. We cannot do what the Qing army wants but cannot do. You go and bring those savages here, and I have something to say to them."

Han Yong asked the savages to eat something and then asked about some of their things. Finally, he asked Wu Xiong and Lin Fengyue to lead their troops to stay where they were. He and Sariman took the savages to the camp where the Oroqen tribe were located.

The road was difficult to walk, and I don’t know how far I walked. Finally, I met the Oroqen people in front of a mountain. They took them in after they unloaded their weapons.

Han Yong did not understand Oroqen language, so he could only translate it through Sariman. They showed their identity and presented the Ming Dynasty seal, but these people had no idea about these and did not believe that they were not the Qing army. In the end, Han Yong stated that the purpose of this trip was Ningguta, and their patriarch Atarmuha decided to send two tribesmen familiar with the local terrain to lead the way for them. Han Yong expressed his gratitude, left the injured horses and some food to them, and gave them some weapons.

At noon the next day, Han Yong led his troops to continue on the road. Wu Xiong rushed over from behind and reported to him: "Guerrilla, there is a tail behind."

Han Yong smiled and said, "It's a strange thing to have no tail. It's the Oroqen people who are monitoring us and want to see if we are the Qing army?"

Wu Xiong looked surprised and said, "You knew it long ago?"

Han Yong nodded, "There are such a group of people of unknown origins. If they believe us so easily, it will be impossible for them to live under the eyes of the Qing army for so long. Let them follow us! If they finally determine our identity, they may not help us at critical moments!"

Wu Xiong frowned and said, "My subordinates are worried that they will be discovered by the Qing army, which will cause us trouble."
