Four days later, Ivanjie returned to the castle and told Han Niuer what he saw and heard along the way in detail, "Mr. Han, judging from the current situation, it is difficult for anyone to replace the Minusinsk people.
Living here, I will see that the Minusinsk people's plan to move eastward should be slowed down a bit. Also, the Minusinsk people's villages are too scattered, which is very detrimental to our future management."
Han Niu'er also heard something from Arctus. Now that Ivanjie mentioned the old story again, he couldn't help but spread his hands and smiled bitterly, "The situation in Minusinsk is indeed not optimistic. No matter what aspect you consider, building a city here is a good idea."
The best way is to not only greatly improve the living environment of the Minusinsk people, but also benefit us from moving westward and controlling the Yenisey River. Unfortunately, the Siberian city has spent too much money in the country.
We have been using troops for many years, and I am afraid that we will not be able to build another city in the short term. Mr. Ivanjie, do you think we can gather the Minusinsk people to the north?"
Ivanjie thought for a moment and shook his head gently, "I'm afraid this is unrealistic. The people of Minusinsk have lived here for hundreds of years and have long been accustomed to this lifestyle. If they were suddenly gathered together,
I'm afraid most people will be resistant to abandoning their original villages. Putting it all together, where do they live, how do they deal with the sheep, and how do they get food? After all, the cold winter in Siberia is too noisy, and if these are not guaranteed, the consequences will not be good.
of."
After much deliberation, it is most feasible to build a city in Minusinsk. With a solid city, it will not only protect the lives of the people of Minusinsk, but also attract more people to move here. Those active in the Siberian city
Businessmen in the area would also be willing to come here. However, Han Niu'er didn't know whether this proposal could be passed. The court might not be able to bear the burden of building another city immediately after Siberia City.
In the Minusinsk Castle, Han Niuer wrote all his thoughts in a letter and quickly sent it back to Yun Mansion. As for the outcome, it was not up to Han Niuer, and Han Niuer also knew that he
Another problem was posed to the governor, but he had no choice. If he wanted to completely control the Yenisei River, it would be impossible without a solid city.
At the end of October, Han Niuer mobilized nearly 15,000 Siberian soldiers to launch a crusade against the Tuva people entrenched near the Minusinsk Plateau from the east and west directions. At the same time, in order to prevent the Tuva people from escaping southward,
, a large number of Monan Mongolian tribes gathered servants and blocked the way out to the south. Although the Tuva people were powerful, they were not as aggressive as the Toltecs. In just two days, this group entrenched in Minu
Another powerful tribe on the Sinsk Plateau was wiped out by the Northern Shanxi Army.
At this point, the vast area of Siberia east of the Yenisei River has been completely controlled by the Northern Shanxi Army. However, the Northern Shanxi Army is not the only force interested in the Yenisei River. In the latter half of the year, when the Northern Shanxi Army was busy with rice
During the Nusinsk Principality, a huge Cossack cavalry fought out from the Naroda Peak, crossed the Ob River directly, and crossed the Yenisei River along Kuleyka in the north. This cavalry belonged to the Grand Duke of Moscow
For the Northern Jin Army under Volkan, the Russian army was extremely unfamiliar, let alone a cavalry force.
The climate in Siberia is bitingly cold. What everyone wants to do most is to hide in the house and warm themselves by the fire. If you go out and breathe in the hot air, it will freeze into ice slag. The harsh winter in Siberia means that birds and animals are extinct. Therefore, if it is not helpless, no one will use troops at this time.
They came north to Siberia and conquered all directions, but rarely made major wars in late autumn or even winter. Therefore, when Tsarist Russia crossed the Yenisei River, the Northern Shanxi Army had almost no response. To the east of Kuleika, a large area of
The place is a no-man's land. The environment in Siberia today is very harsh, especially in the north. When winter comes, ghosts are not willing to visit.
Volkan attaches great importance to the Yenisey River. In his view, the Yenisey River is a natural barrier. Whoever occupies the Yenisey River can occupy a large territory. In this era, Volkan's
His strategic awareness was definitely advanced, and his defense theory of the Yenisey River was at least a hundred years ahead of its time. If Volkan's idea of eastward expansion is really realized, then he will definitely restore the glory of the Tsarist dynasty and establish a
A strong and unified Russian Empire.
Unfortunately, due to Tie Mo's accidental intrusion, the Ming Dynasty saw the benefits brought by Siberia early, and the originally conservative Ming Dynasty was gradually put on the road of expansion. Around the Yenisei River, the two sides were destined to have a battle.
At the end of the autumn of the sixth year of Chongzhen, a huge Cossack cavalry suddenly appeared in the Heta River Basin and launched a rapid and fierce attack on the Hatanga people next to the Heta River. The Hatanga people were defenseless and were beaten to the ground.
Then, more than ten thousand Cossack cavalry besieged the Ice and Snow City just built by the Northern Shanxi Army. The Ice and Snow City was just a small city, mainly used to assist the Siberian city, so it was not perfect in all aspects. The Russian army suddenly attacked the Ice and Snow City, causing
The whole of Siberia has become a mess. In recent years, the Northern Shanxi Army can be said to be the giant of Siberia. Now Tsarist Russia actually crossed the Yenisei River and took the lead in attacking the Ice and Snow City of the Northern Shanxi Army.
The arrival of Tsarist Russia was so sudden. After getting the news, Han Niuer's head was a little dizzy. In his impression, those bearded barbarians should have burned incense if they were not beaten. They dared to go all the way to the Yenisei River.
Edom attacked the Ice and Snow City and simply didn't want to live. Ivanjie even raised his eyebrows in anger. He had devoted all his efforts to capture Siberia over the years.
Ivanjie also knew that without the glass-washing eye, his status in front of the governor would plummet. After he finally managed to show off in Siberia with Mr. Han, those Boye nobles came over to pick fruits. It was really difficult
He couldn't bear it anymore, so he said angrily with a dark face, "Master Han, it's time, let's fight."
Han Niu'er also wanted to fight. The Russians were so bold as to challenge the prestige of the Northern Shanxi Army in Siberia. However, Han Niu'er was not as impulsive as Ivanjie. Until now, he had never had a direct conflict with Tsarist Russia.
There is also a lack of sufficient understanding of these tsarist Russia, and a rash attack may not necessarily yield benefits. This is the first head-to-head confrontation with tsarist Russia, and failure is absolutely not allowed. Once it fails, the prestige of the Northern Shanxi Army in Siberia will be questioned. Northern Shanxi
The army has only been stationed in Siberia for a few years, and there is no stability at all. The tribes that surrendered are waiting for an opportunity.
"Tsarist Russia crossed the Yenisei River and came a long way. There will definitely be a shortage of baggage. Mr. Ivanjie, you can lead your cavalry to seal off the area north of the Yenisei River. As long as three days pass, Han will want to see these
What else can a savage do?"
The corners of Evanjie's mouth curled up, thinking that it would be too much to fight against these lackeys of the Boye nobles and to cut off the supply of food.
Evanjie obviously thought wrong. Han Niuer was not wrong at all in what he did. The Cossack cavalry that besieged the Ice and Snow City were not kind. This cavalry all wore horn helmets and thick armor, retaining the Cossack majesty originated from Europe. This
A group of cavalry led by Gorlov traveled across Russia and made great contributions to Volkan. If there was a head-on confrontation, the majestic Cossack cavalry would not necessarily be defeated.
The weather in Siberia has always been like this. The bright and clear sky turned gloomy at some point. The dark sky was covered with dark clouds, and the green grass blades were frozen as sharp as knives. A huge cavalry walked from a distant high slope.
Come on, the gray cloth armor blends into the sky. The horn helmets also show the brave and fighting side of these Russian tsarists. When they raise their spears, they are like a group of violent beasts, capable of tearing apart everything in front of them.
The horse's hooves were advancing, bursting with vigorous power. Every time they galloped, they exuded endless fighting spirit. The gray color enveloped the whole body, and the galloping attack was like the dark flames in hell. It was the first time that Tsarist Russia crossed the Yenisei River. As soon as they set foot on this
A piece of land reveals his ambition to dominate the world.
"Ula...Ula..." The beast-like Tsarist Russia let out a rough roar. Some people waved steel knives and ran around the city wall. In their eyes, this strong and beautiful city would soon be destroyed.
It will become the private domain of the Grand Duke of Volkan. Those Easterners guarding the city are just a group of sheep without resistance. The great Russians are all born warriors. From Gothic glory to Cossack tyranny, Tsarist Russia will destroy like crazy
The performance is vivid and vivid. Now, tens of thousands of beast-like soldiers stand under the ice and snow city, bringing endless pressure to people.
These Russians are all burly and built like cattle. Almost everyone has a full beard and long unkempt hair. They are like a group of savages rushing out of the mountains. They are bloodthirsty, manic, and not afraid of death. It can be said that
The Northern Shanxi Army travels across the north and south, and has never encountered such an opponent. Jiang Kun looked at these uninvited guests outside the city with a stern expression. His many years of experience in the army told him that these people are definitely powerful opponents. If you underestimate these barbarians, you will definitely pay a heavy price.
Heavy price.
The Ice and Snow City was just built not long ago. Since the Ice and Snow City is located in the far north and there are few people around it, its military use is far greater than its commercial use. Therefore, except for the Northern Shanxi Army stationed in the city, there are not many civilians in the Ice and Snow City. That is to say
, the foundation of Ice and Snow City is too weak, so the best way is to defend the city and rush out to fight. The risk is too great.
"Instruct all ministries to deal with these barbarians in strict accordance with the city defense regulations. No one is allowed to leave the city without orders from the general." Jiang Kun did not want to take risks. His mission was to defend the Ice and Snow City, and other things were secondary. The Russians were obviously unwilling
After giving the Northern Shanxi Army too long, thousands of cavalrymen suddenly jumped off their horses, and the crowd separated. Dozens of people rushed up dragging a chain. A huge iron ball was tied in the middle of the chain. Watch as dozens of people worked together to pull the iron ball.
You can imagine how heavy this iron ball is. Thousands of people rushed up together. They were yelling and waving their arms. If you look closely, you can almost see the excited expressions on their faces.
The soldiers of the Northern Shanxi Army at the top of the city were a little confused for a moment. Do these barbarians just want to use human bodies to attack the city? In the original impression, any siege must use ladders, pit carts, and crossbows.
Only by suppressing and cooperating with each other can we attack the city better. Otherwise, if we attack hard, the losses will be huge. What's more, there is no ladder. If you want to use your body to conquer a strong city, what is the difference between that and death?
However, the soldiers of the Northern Shanxi Army soon saw the opponent's methods. Thousands of Slavic soldiers raised their shields to form a broad defensive umbrella, causing the muskets on the city head to lose their effect instantly. Under the protection of the shields, the muskets fired at Tsarist Russia.
The damage caused was only a handful. Since the Ice and Snow City had just been built not long ago, and the surrounding area was inaccessible, Siberia never thought that the Ice and Snow City would be attacked by others in a short period of time. Therefore, the luggage in the Ice and Snow City was not sufficient, especially
There are almost no rolling logs, kerosene, stones and trebuchets used to defend the city, and there is not a single cannon, a powerful defensive weapon. The bows and arrows used to defend the city are now useless, so thousands of soldiers of the Northern Shanxi Army can only watch.
They watched the Tsarist Russians roaring towards the city gate.
Arriving at the city gate, Jiang Kun finally understood the function of the big iron ball. Almost a hundred Slavic soldiers stood at both ends of the iron chain. They quickly pulled up the iron ball and threw it back. Then everyone roared in unison,
The iron chain shook violently, and the big iron ball hit the city gate fiercely. Boom...bang...the harsh metal collision sound, which almost made the ears deaf. Standing at the top of the city, you can clearly feel it.
The feeling of the earth cracking and shaking, and the heavy city gate groaning in pain.
Jiang Kun's face changed drastically. If he had been a little dismissive a moment ago, he was now just shocked. In the final analysis, the Northern Shanxi Army lacked understanding of Tsarist Russia and did not understand how Tsarist Russia fought.
When they came up, the Russians used an alternative siege method to teach the Northern Shanxi Army a heavy lesson. The loud noises continued, and you could almost clearly feel that the city gate was denting little by little. If this continued, sooner or later the city gate would be destroyed.
Knocked open.
Jiang Kun glanced at the sky in the distance. Under the gray curtain, Tsarist Russia roared high, ready to rush into the Ice and Snow City at any time. The Ice and Snow City was extremely far away from Siberia City. Even if the Siberia City army came at the fastest speed,
A day later. Finally, Jiang Kun's face showed a trace of ruthlessness that was inconsistent with his age. "Wang Di and Luo Sikong blocked the general soldiers and horses on the street in front of the gate, and found all the firewood and coke stored in the city.
The door can no longer be defended, so let's have a good fight with these barbarians near the door. The Ice and Snow City was built with great effort by the governor, and we cannot just leave it to these barbarians."
"Here." Wang Di and Luo Sikong are both young and energetic people. They are at the stage when they are full of energy and want to make contributions. The more fierce the confrontation, the more excited they are. Under Jiang Kun's order, the soldiers guarding the city gave up their waste.
Ammunition, groups of soldiers walked from the corridor to the city, waiting for more fierce street fighting. In the doorway, the heavy city gate creaked and could be smashed open at any time. Tsarist Russia came too suddenly.
At this time, it was impossible to pour molten iron to cast the iron gate. Seeing that the city gate was about to be destroyed, many soldiers dropped their weapons and pressed their bodies against the gate.
