Some years can be forgotten by people at any time, including those that bring joy and happiness to people; but some years condensed with blood and tears are embedded in people's hearts like knives and axes, because they leave people with

The scars are deep and difficult to heal.

May of 1788, when the spring cold refused to recede, was such a day filled with hatred.

This day is the fifth day of the fifth lunar month.

Co-leader Tibet got up very early. He didn't sleep well last night and got up several times to inspect the city defenses.

The Rakshasa finally came. Tibet, with its soldiers and thousands of border people, has tried its best these days, and Humalmu City finally looks like something.

Even though Tibet is an Ewenki, he has read some books during his many years of fighting in the north and south. He admires those Han sages in the books who sacrificed their lives for justice. Facing the vicious Rakshasa barbarians, he knows what justice is.

However, his nation and conscience control his heart and actions.

Bullying the weak and fearing the strong is the logic of all bandits, even Bogaevsky, the leader of the First Transbaikal Fusiliers Regiment, was no exception. He underestimated the courage of the Qing border generals, and he sent people to propose surrender conditions

was rejected.

Faced with the threat of the Rakshasa messenger, Tibet said that he wanted to pass Humalkarun unless all the two thousand people here died in battle!

For Bogaevsky, an order from Nerchinsk City forced him to speed up the task of opening up Heilongjiang.

Yes, the commander-in-chief Suvorov appointed by Queen Catherine II has arrived in Nerchinsk. His request to the commanders of his regiments is to lay down a place, consolidate it, and hold it firmly.

Suvorov believed that Bogaevsky's actions were too slow. He hoped that he could enter the Qing Dynasty's largest castle in Heilongjiang, Heilongjiang City, before May 30. By then, Suvorov would be in Heilongjiang City.

In the official office of the Qing Dynasty officials, Bogaevsky was awarded a medal.

Tibet walked to the wooden city wall, looked up into the river, and saw the large Rakshasa boat docked on the east bank of the Heilongjiang River. He knew that the Rakshasa on board was waiting for the large group of people behind.

In the past few days, the exact news of the fall of Guigudar City has reached Humar City. Except for the women and children rescued by Tibetan men, more than 2,000 border residents in the city have all died in the battle, and the Rakshasa's butcher knife is dyed red.

The water of Heilongjiang.

The orders coming from Aihui City and Heilongjiang City required Tibetans to hold on here for at least five days, so that the rear would have enough time to improve the city defense and summon border residents from surrounding villages to rush to support.

Not to mention the difficulty here, Heilongjiang General Hengxiu, who was in Qiqihar, was also seriously ill. Three days ago, news came from the Hulunbuir Deputy Capital Office that another Rakshasa fleet left Zed on April 20th.

They entered the lower reaches of the Selenge River, burning, killing and looting all the way; the envoys sent by Tushetu Khan on the back road of Khalkha for help have arrived in Hulunbuir.

Because it is located in a strategic area on the Sino-Russian border, the Hulunbuir Deputy Governor's Office guards many waterways and has a strength of 3,800 troops. How can Hengxiu care about the life and death of the Mongolian ministries on the back roads of Khalkha? He is currently guarding Heilongjiang City and Aihui.

The city is the most critical. Once Rakshasa breaks through here, tens of thousands of lives will be destroyed. Rakshasa will no longer have any troops to control in the entire middle reaches of Heilongjiang, and its warships can reach the sea.

When Tibet was in a trance, he saw a few fast horses galloping from the north. When these Qing troops arrived at the city, the cavalry on the horses shouted loudly: "Sir! The Rakshasa's fleet is still thirty miles away from us.

It’ll be there in half an hour!”

After hearing this, Tibet immediately returned to his tent with his own soldiers and arranged defense tasks for his military attaches and border leaders.

"Rakshasa is coming. Is there anything you don't understand about the plan you made earlier?"

Seeing that everyone was silent, Tibet continued to instruct: "Everyone must be careful. Rakshasa's cannon is powerful, and you must pay attention to concealment when firing. When the time comes, we will let Rakshasa in and give them a hard blow!"

Remember, no one is allowed to attack without my orders!"

"I will obey your general's orders!"

Just as Aihun was leading the Tibetan army to prepare for war, the Northern Navy fleet led by Zhao Xin had crossed the Laha Susu (today's Jiamusi Tongjiang area) where the Heilongjiang and Songhua Rivers meet, and was speeding toward Heilongjiang City.

.

The fleet turned to the Heilongjiang River and saw the Hezhe people's canoes, flat-bottomed boats and fast-horse boats all going upstream on the river. When the patrol boat in front blew its whistle to let these ships get out of the way, the Hezhe people on the river saw this.

A large fleet consisting of four strange boats without sails or oars and two flat-bottomed wooden boats (barges) towed behind them, all had faces of shock and confusion.

What surprised them was that there were several Hezhe hunters standing under a big red flag on the first strange boat. When the fleet passed quickly, they saw that the two flat-bottomed wooden boats at the end were all wearing leather clothes or

He is a Hezhe man dressed in fish skin.

After the fleet slowed down to avoid the fishing boats, the Hezhe people on the river started asking loudly to the tribesmen on the flat-bottomed boats.

"Hi~~I said, where are you from?"

"Boligashan."

"What are you doing here?"

"We will follow Bei Haijun to fight Rakshasa! What about you?"

"So are we. I heard that those damned Rakshasas in the north are burning, killing, raping, and committing all kinds of evil. I must let them taste the taste of bows, arrows, and spears!"

"Hey, let's take a step first. We won't be able to defeat Rakshasa then, so don't cry. Hahaha!"

At this time, a young man from Hezhe on another flat-bottomed boat asked the person calling out: "Say, what does the Beihai Navy do? I only heard that there is a town in the south of Beihai, where you can exchange for many strange things."

The tribesman who called out turned around and said, "Don't you know? Last time I asked you to go to Fuldan City with me, but you were unwilling to go because it was far away. Let me tell you, Beihai Town is even more lively than Sanxing City, and all the people living there live there.

The poor people from Guan Nei were led by a group of fairy-like figures to clear up wasteland, cultivate land, open mountains and build roads."

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! The young Hezhe man was surprised and said, "Ah? Opening a mountain? That is not something only gods can do!"

"No! The old shaman said so too."

The young man hesitated: "But...but the court doesn't care?"

"The Imperial Court? Bogda Khan's tens of thousands of heavenly soldiers were beaten away!"

A few people on the boat here were chatting about the legend of Beihai Town, and a few Hezhe people on the flat-bottomed boats over there shouted to the Beihai Navy fleet: "I said ~~ you guys slow down and take us on board, I will go fight with you

Rakshasa!"

Zhao Xin, who was standing in the driver's cab of the patrol boat, smiled slightly as he listened to the translation by Saharian and others. He saw Wukanbei standing aside blankly, so he ordered: "Wukambei!"

"arrive!"

"Go to the deck and sing loudly the Imakam you sang in Khabarovsk, so that these Hezhe people know what we are going to do."

"yes!"

The speed of the fleet slowed down, and as the roar of the motors weakened, a majestic imakan song fell from the sky like a hurricane, echoing on the Heilongjiang River. After listening to it, the Hezhe people on the river gradually joined in, and thousands of mountains and mountains shared the same sentiment.

Phew, echo from ten thousand ridges!

"Alala Henina~~

Imakan has been around for thousands of years,

Where are the heroes of Hezhe?

The green hills are everlasting and the rivers are rolling,

Heroic spirit fertile river with hot blood!

Heilongjiang is thousands of miles long,

White mountains and black waters are my hometown,

Stepping on the soil beneath the Yongning Monument,

Raise the battle flag high to the rising sun."

Boom! Boom!

On the river outside Humar City, howling artillery shells were ejected from the artillery of more than a dozen Russian warships, slamming into the wooden city of Humar. A ten-kilogram iron bullet flew over the city head and hit the city.

The top of a thatched hut was thrown up, causing the border guards in the hut to scream in surprise; the shell bounced diagonally on the ground in the wooden city, and then smashed into a basket filled with soil. "Crack!"

Suddenly, the soil basket broke and the black soil was scattered on the ground.

In order to prepare for Rakshasa's bombardment, Tibet ordered people to place many earthen baskets and rag bags filled with soil in the wooden city. This trick really worked. As long as Rakshasa's shells hit the earthen baskets and cloth bags, the violent kinetic energy

will be absorbed by the soft soil.

This is already the third round of shelling that Humar City has suffered today.

In the first two rounds, after the careless Tsarist Russian army battered the wooden city with holes, they still sent the Buryat musketeers to land as usual. However, due to the underestimation of the enemy by the Tsarist Russian officers, the two Buryat musketeers landed one after another.

The company was severely attacked by the soldiers and civilians of Humar City, suffering heavy casualties and hurriedly escaping back to the ship.

Ever since the Tsarist Russian army crossed the Ergun River and entered the territory of the Qing Dynasty, both the Cossacks and the Buryats felt that the prestigious Qing Empire was just like paper, with not even a decent fortress along the river.

From Ravkai to Guigudal, all villages were built with logs and mud. Not only could they not withstand the power of the 12-pounder cannon, but they were all shot down with a single charge.

All of the above finally caused them to suffer a big loss under Humar City.

The bombardment lasted for as long as a stick of incense, and the soldiers and civilians in the city knew that Rakshasa was about to send people to attack again.

"Sir! There isn't much powder left in the shotgun. It's just enough for two more rounds!"

Hearing his subordinates say that there was not enough shotgun ammunition, Tibet, who was having his head wound bandaged, asked: "Have the people sent to Ulusumudan to transport gunpowder come back?"

"Not yet. It's completely dark today. I can't even see a shadow."

Tubot sighed and said: "Let's carry it with bows, arrows and swords for a while. It's getting dark and the Rakshasa has to rest. The gunpowder may arrive at night."

This carried it until dawn the next day, and the gunpowder carrier had not yet arrived.

At dawn, Tibet led people to inspect the city... Humar City can no longer be regarded as a city. All the wooden walls facing the east have been smashed. Although it was repaired overnight, most of the soldiers and civilians in the city were killed in the fierce battle for half a day yesterday.

, everyone could only use the damaged wood in the city to erect a row of wooden fences.

But how can this lead to Rakshasa's attack?
To be continued...
