Because the shooting range of Qing artillery and shotguns was too far, the losses of the Tsarist Russian army were not large. Bogaevsky sent a company and quickly drove away the Oroqen people; then he ordered two battalions to attack the right wing

cavalry and armored soldiers, and the rest of the troops launched a general attack on the Qing army directly ahead.

Faced with the fierce bombardment of Tsarist Russian muskets and artillery, the Qing army could not help but retreat. At first, they could fire back normally. By noon, the Qing army could no longer hold on, and the remaining remnants began to retreat over the mountains towards Aihui.

By one o'clock in the afternoon, the leading skirmishers of the Russian army had occupied the upper part of the ravine; two hours later, Lieutenant Colonel Polyakov led the 1st and 2nd Buryat Fusiliers Regiment in the direction of the old city of Aihun.

At this time, the Qing army north of the old city of Aihui was almost completely wiped out by the Russian army. The deputy commander of Heilongjiang City, Eledmubu, was shot and wounded and fled back to the city.

As for the artillery battle on the Heilongjiang River, since the Tsarist Russian warships were all inland river ships, they did not have a gun deck. All artillery was placed on the bow and amidships. This resulted in the artillery battle in the morning.

The Qing gunners in the old city of Aihui fired 12 shells from two sky cannons into the river, destroying two 12-pound cannons and a 24-pound cannon in the Tsarist Russian fleet on the spot, and then used victory cannons to kill the Cossack soldiers.

20 people.

Dozens of large and medium-sized Yaksa warships coming from the Heilongjiang City Water Camp also damaged several Tsarist Russian warships, killing and wounding hundreds of enemy soldiers. However, due to the age of the cannons on the ship,

As a result, some of them exploded within a few shots, while others were unable to fight anymore because their barrels overheated.

The Qing government set up a naval camp in Heilongjiang General Mansion, which was mainly stationed in three locations: Qiqihar, Mergen, and Heilongjiang City. The water camp located in Heilongjiang City had ten large Yaksa warships and four No. 2 Yaksa warships.

Ten, ten river boats. These boats were built in the Jilin Shipyard in the 22nd year of Kangxi's reign. According to the regulations of the Ministry of Industry, they need to be overhauled every five years and scrapped every ten years.

However, due to years of peace and quiet on the border, the combat effectiveness of the water battalion in Heilongjiang City has dropped sharply. The battalion officers only directed the sailors to practice punting, and did not care about the firing of cannons on the ships. It was a matter for the shotgun battalion. The Ministry of War required the water battalion to be in

Exercises are held ten days before the frost every year, but in recent years Shuiying has always used the freezing of the river as an excuse to not hold any exercises at all.

Compared with the Qing army's water camp, the 12-pound cannons on the Tsarist Russian warships fired quickly and accurately. At the same time, with the support of incendiary bombs and shotgun shells, the Qing army's water camp suffered heavy losses. In one day, four large Yaksa warships were lost, and the medium-sized Yaksa warships were lost.

There are more than 20 Sa war ships.

In the afternoon, the Cossack cavalry faced the villages that were deserted and even the wells had been filled in. They viciously burned several villages outside the old city of Aihui. In the raging fire, the ignited wood made a crackling sound.

, dozens of thick black smoke pillars rose over the wilderness, but the soldiers and civilians guarding Heilongjiang City and Aihui Old City could only watch helplessly, each speculating on their own unknown fate.
