"Headquarters, the prince has been defeated, let's withdraw too," Zorba said to Fulehe.
But Fulehe looked excited, "Brother Zorba, the time has come for us to make great achievements!"
"Making a great contribution?" Zorba looked confused.
"Look, those Rakshasa soldiers were in a chaotic formation when they charged. They were clearly new troops that had only just formed an army. They could be defeated in one charge. Do you dare to charge with me?" Fuleh looked at it hopefully.
Follow him.
Zorba took a look, and sure enough, these Rakshasa soldiers had no clues when they were defending, but they were full of flaws when they attacked. The military formation that should have been so tight that no gaps were left, became convex, concave, and messy during the charge.
, there are gaps everywhere, it is indeed a new army that lacks training!
Immediately, he puffed up his chest and said, "The commander-in-chief has to work hard, and the general will be there for you in the end!"
"Okay! He's a man!"
Fulehe didn't say much. Even if he ordered his men to line up in a horizontal line and charge towards the enemy, one horse would ride next to the other, and the distance between each two horsemen would be no more than two or three people.
Seeing how confident he was, Zorba also ordered his subordinates to line up and attack behind him.
The Ming army's cavalry line was like a wall, pushing straight towards the Rakshasa army.
The Rakshasa soldiers did not expect that the Ming army would counterattack. Their muskets had already missed a round during the pursuit and they were reloading. There was no time. They wanted to raise their spears and form a formation, but when they charged, their formation was already in chaos.
, almost all ten-man teams have large gaps between them, which makes their military formation full of gaps.
The Ming army's cavalry penetrated through these gaps and knocked down, impaled, and chopped down the Rakshasa soldiers armed with muskets, spears, and scimitars.
"God!"
"Mom!"
"Help!"
The weakness of the Rakshasa Army's lack of veterans was fully exposed. Facing the enemy's cavalry, when the large formation was broken, they did not automatically move closer and form small formations to meet the enemy, but ran away in panic. Due to the formation of the Ming army,
It was a horizontal formation, and this kind of flight quickly evolved into a complete rout.
"Come back, don't retreat! Form a formation! Form a formation quickly!"
Stadukhin tried his best to restrain the defeated soldiers into formation, but it was in vain and he had no choice but to join the fleeing team.
In the panic, his horse was shot to death, and he was surrounded by Fulehe's personal guards. Fulehe had already set his sights on his general's flag.
"I am Stadukhin, the warlord of Tomsk. Kill me quickly and don't embarrass my subordinates." Stadukhin was a bachelor, so he took off his helmet and accepted his death calmly.
"No, Overseer, you are the best trophy. I can't bear to kill you," Fulehe laughed.

The Rakshasa army who came to rescue Yeniseysk did not come all the way. There is a city named Mangazeya in the Yeniseysk warlord district. The warlord of Mangazeya, Mardin Vasilev, is a discerning guy and knows very well about Yeniseysk.
Once Sesk is lost, Mangazeya and even the entire area east of the Ural Mountains will be in danger.
Vasilev did not have many men, only two hundred Cossacks. But he was rich. As an important trading colony of Tsarist Russia in northern Siberia, Mangazea's treasury was filled with a large amount of coins and mink skins collected from merchants. This city is a transportation hub from the Ob River Basin to the Yenisey River Basin. It was also a famous commercial city from the 16th to the 17th century and enjoyed a high reputation in the business community. A large number of Tsarist Russian merchants and explorers sold various goods here.
Norway, Denmark, the Netherlands, Scotland, and England are the main trading partners to Scandinavia and the Hanseatic League countries and regions. At its peak, there were more than 500 buildings and more than 2,000 merchants in the city, with only 1,621
Every year, 130,000 sable skins were shipped to the Russian treasury through Mangazeya.
However, now the city is in decline.
In 1619, the Tsarist Russian government discovered that European merchants were evading taxes and conducting illegal trade here. Some German merchants even took a boat directly from their homeland to a river mouth in Arkhangelsk. This shocked the Siberian government and monopolized the mink trade in the East and Europe.
The leather trade has always been an important source of revenue for Tsarist Russia. In order to prevent the colonial forces of other Western countries from penetrating into Siberia, the Tsarist government ordered the closure of Mangazea's maritime traffic.
Without sea trade, Mangazea's business began to decline. And because the city is located near the Arctic Circle and has an Arctic climate with little precipitation, strong winds often blow. If the wind is strong, fires are prone to occur.
Three large-scale fires occurred. After the third fire, the central city had to be abandoned. The Siberian Yamen moved the residents of Mangazeya to the vicinity of the Tuluhan River, a tributary of the Yenisei River, in order to be in harmony with the old city.
The difference is that the new city is named "New Mangazea".
Although it has declined, as a world-famous shopping mall, it is really not a big deal to spend some money and recruit some soldiers.
Vasilev opened the treasury, quickly recruited 900 mercenaries from nearby Russians, Kyrgyz, Kots, and Samoyeds, and then led this army to Igarka Fort in an attempt to regain control of the Yeni
Se River leads to the navigation channel of the Kara Sea, and then rescues Yeniseisk by water.
The wealthy Vasilev owns many sleigh boats pulled by reindeer, which can carry more supplies than ordinary sleighs.
Chief Hada was in a beautiful mood. He followed the advice of the two imperial envoys and made a surprise attack on Yigarka Fort. He made great achievements and was promoted from a hundred households to deputy thousand households.
If you get promoted, you will naturally be happy.
But the beautiful mood is always short-lived, Vasilev's army is here. Although they are mercenaries, most of the residents of Mangazea are both merchants and explorers, good hunters, and almost everyone is proficient in firearms, so they have great combat power.
Far stronger than the mercenaries in other areas. Moreover, they also brought ten bronze cannons.
As soon as there was a fight, Hada couldn't stand it anymore. He cowered in the city and did not dare to fight. Urgent documents drifted like snowflakes to the Ming army camp that was besieging Yeniseisk.
After receiving the urgent document from Hada, King Zhu Ruodeng of Ji was in a dilemma.
After Fulech captured Stadukhin, the governor of Tomsk alive, he got the information about the emptiness of Tomsk Fort. He could not miss the opportunity and immediately ordered Chen Biao, Fulech and Zorba to take advantage of the victory to advance westward.
, to seize Tomsk Fort. Chen Biao was his second uncle, who broke bones and tendons. He deliberately promoted him from deputy general to commander-in-chief, and specially ordered him to march westward and perform meritorious service. In this way, the mobile troops around him would be
It’s missing. But Igarka Castle is very important and must be saved.
Counting the troops that could be mobilized, only Zhang Qixiang's and Bi'er Tahar's troops were left. Zhang Qixiang could not do without the Chinese army to protect him; Bi'er Tahar had just suffered a defeat, and he was also a famous regular soldier.
The defeated general was worried about sending him. If the siege troops were deployed, he would be afraid of giving the enemies of Yeniseisk a chance to breathe.
Sorrow! Sorrow! Sorrow! His Royal Highness, Prince Ji, has trouble sleeping at night.
Lu Shiyi came here just to say one thing: "Why don't Your Highness send Uncle Bratzko?"
"Bratskobo? Are you talking about the Rakshasa general Franzbekov? No, most of his troops are Rakshasa soldiers. What if they rebel against the enemy?" Zhu Ruodeng shook his head. p>
"Your Highness, Franzbekov was regarded as a traitor by the Tsar, and he wanted to kill him quickly. He has no way out. Besides, his family members are all in the area controlled by our army. I understand that they do not dare to rebel."
Seeing that Zhu Ruodeng remained silent, Lu Shiyi smiled and said: "We can make Bier Tahar the main general and Franzbekov the deputy general. Bier Tahar is not good at fighting, but being a supervisor is enough."
"Well, sir, what you said makes sense."
"Your Highness, the three hundred soldiers under the chief of the Okwen tribe, Agula, who escorted the imperial envoy here are also capable of fighting. Why not go?"
Only then did Zhu Ruodeng remember that he still had this strength in his army, and he nodded repeatedly, "Sir, Zhuge Kongming is really a lonely man! Mr. Quanyi."
