At this time, even if Franzbekov was not clear about the situation, he had already understood the reason why the colonial army sent before was almost wiped out. It was definitely not as simple as being ambushed by the natives.

The cavalry outside the city, in red uniforms, knew it was a regular army just from the perspective of equipment. And he also had vision, and he knew at a glance that it was an elite army.

The Tsarist Russian colonists who were fleeing back did not flee back to Yakutsk in the end. They were caught by the cavalry and were dealt with by one sword.

This also made them know that there was a hostile relationship between the Red Cavalry and the Tsarist Russian colonists.

The Red Cavalry did not directly attack Yakutsk, but just began to surround Yakutsk.

The sky gradually darkened, and you could vaguely see that in addition to the cavalry, there were infantry outside, with a large number of people far exceeding those of the Tsarist Russian colonists. At this moment, all the Tsarist Russian colonists were panicked.

There were not many Tsarist Russian colonists in the Far East. They were wiped out nearly 200 in Jaxa before, and then they sent out in the past few days and had not come back. In total, there were nearly 200 people. There were about 400 people missing.

Therefore, there were only less than 300 people in Yakutsk. However, just before it got dark, Franzbekov saw at least a thousand regular soldiers wearing red uniforms outside the city.

The city walls of Yakutsk are not built with earth and stone, but wooden fences. The biggest function is not to guard against enemy attacks, but to prevent cattle and horses from escaping and prevent wild beasts from entering the city. Even if they are to guard against enemies, they are only to guard against enemies of the indigenous level.

When Yakutsk was built, who would have thought that he would meet a regular army here!

This night, Yakutsk was destined to be sleepless. Neither the Tsarist Russian colonists nor the Yakuts could fall asleep. They were all worried, wondering what their fate would be tomorrow?

It was past one o'clock in the morning, and it was dim in Yakutsk. Franzbekov had no other choice, so he sent an envoy, holding a white flag, and trying to communicate with the army outside the city.

However, they didn't know what language the other party spoke. Whether it was Tsarist Russian's own language or the local indigenous languages, the other party ignored it, which made Franzbekov stunned.

After dawn, Franzbekov could see that the enemies outside the city were about two thousand, which could be estimated from the tents that were tied, and the troops were far greater than those of the Russian colonists.

There is no way to communicate and the troops are not as strong as the other party. What should I do?

To be honest, Franzbekov was almost crying in such a situation.

At this time, he probably guessed that such an army would appear in this place, and the faces of the Eastern people. Except for the Ming Empire in the East, there should be no other enemies.

The Mongols in the north of the desert and the Russian colonists also encountered them when they expanded eastward. Not to mention that they were either this unified military uniform or weapons, they were actually very simple. Compared with other indigenous people, except for the large number of people, they were actually not much better!

If it were those Mongols, Franzbekov would not be so afraid and worried. But the enemy in front of him was the army of the Ming Empire, and they all had firearms. This battle was really in danger.

Just as he was worried, the Ming army's musketeers began to approach Yakutsk and lay on the ground to aim.

These actions made Franzbekov not only not despair, but also had surprises.

Are these Ming army people having brain problems? They are so far away and want to shoot. Are they very afraid of death?

If this is true, there will be hope for this battle! Franzbekov believes that the combat power of the Tsarist Russian warriors in desperate situations may be able to win the war with less!

When other Russian colonists saw this scene, they were surprised and immediately showed surprise. So they were all behind the fence without fear, pointing at the Ming soldiers lying on the ground outside.

“Mush…”

The gunshot suddenly rang out and the Ming soldiers fired.

What all the Tsarist Russian colonists did not expect was that many of the accomplices in the fence fell to the ground immediately, and their blood was flowing, and they were obviously shot.

This scene made them stunned.

At such a long distance, the Ming army's musket can still hit?

Is this God's blessing or is it true that the Ming army's musket is very powerful?

Although they really thought that it was just the luck of the Ming army, it was actually very obvious that so many people were shot, but that their muskets were really powerful!

"Not good, Your Excellency the Governor was beaten to death!"

A terrified shout sounded, which scared the Tsarist Russian colonists again.

They were panicked in this situation, but as the mastermind, the Governor, was shot dead. What should I do next?

That's right, the Ming army musketeers outside the city were actually the rifled flintlock gunmen in the army. They were in groups of three, aiming at a Tsarist Russian colonist for sniping, using the advantages of range and accuracy, anyway, they could kill one.

In this case, the Ming army soldiers naturally picked those who looked like the leader of the Tsarist Russian colonists and fired. Franzbekov was the most obvious, and he was taken care of by two groups of rifled flintlock gunmen. It would be strange if he could survive.

On the Ming army, other troops were on standby, and the rifled flintlock rifleman slowly loaded the bullets and then started aiming again.

“Mush…”

Under the gunshots, no Tsarist Russian colonist dared to emerge.

In order to understand the situation outside the city, they ordered the Yakuts to come forward to check the situation.

At this time, Ying'er and Zhijiang and several companions who were grazing with him appeared, waved their hands and signaled the tribe members in the city.

The appearance of several of them immediately made the Yakuts overjoyed, because they knew that the people outside the city were not the life-seeking devils, but came to help them, or would not hurt their army.

So, the next scene became very natural. The Ming army began to assemble and attack, and the Yakuts in the city began to rebel.

With the internal and external cooperation, the Tsarist Russian colonists did not have much ability to resist at all and were wiped out!

To the west far outside the city, Khabarov saw through a telescope that Yakutsk was captured by the Ming army and the Tsarist Russian colonists were wiped out. Instead, he breathed a sigh of relief and did not dare to stay any longer. He immediately fled west.

Liu Wenxiu was not surprised at all with the result of this war. What really surprised him was the climate here. The day was so long and the night was so short that it really made the Ming soldiers very uncomfortable.

At this time, he admired Duke Xingguo's foresight.

If there were still troops in the pass, there would definitely be a lot of troops that would not be combat-reduced. It was a pity that the soldiers who were most able to adapt to the northern climate were selected from the army in advance, but even so, during the journey north, nearly one hundred people had to return to Jaquesah due to physical reasons.

In Liu Wenxiu's opinion, this Yakutsk is really a cold place. It is estimated that the imperial court will exile prisoners in the future, which will make people feel daunting.

He was thinking about these things, but Guigudal and Davani were interrogating the prisoners of the Tsarist Russian colonists, wanting to ask about the whereabouts of Rovinsky and Khabarov. For these two people, they were determined to win and take revenge.

However, they obviously couldn't find the person they were looking for.

It is said that Rovinsky was dead, but he was beaten to death by them and never came back; Khabarov came back and disappeared yesterday.

Guigudal and Davani were unwilling to accept it and wanted to expand their search range.

Just so happened that Liu Wenxiu had received military orders, in addition to stationing in Yakutsk, he would also recruit local indigenous people to go west and eliminate all the Tsarist Russian colonists he saw.

Therefore, in the following reorganization, the Sorens and Yakuts joined the Ming army enthusiastically, and expected that in the near future, according to the confessions of the Tsarist Russian colonists obtained by interrogation, they would march westward and sweep all Tsarist Russian colonists to the east.

Of course, the news about this side will also be returned to the south as soon as possible.

……………………

At the same time, the situation in Annan also changed suddenly as far south of the Ming Empire.

Last year, Zheng Jian took the emperor to fight in person, but returned home in a defeat. His face was ruined by Li Zhenzong, which was severely damaged.

If the original historical progress was followed, the Ruan family in the south would have to accumulate strength and would take two years to counterattack and defeat the Zheng family in the north.

However, on this plane, the Dutch who supported Zheng's family suddenly ran away, while the Portuguese who supported the Nguyen tribe actively encouraged the Nguyen tribe to take this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to launch the Northern Expedition.

In the end, Nguyen Phuc, the leader of the Nguyen Clan in the south, could not withstand the temptation and ordered a heavy army to fight the north.

He personally visited the army and sent the powerful general Ruan Youyi and Ruan Youjin to divide the troops and attack the Zheng family.

For a moment, the Northern Expedition was very powerful, and it was astonishing as the Zheng family once.

On the Zheng side of the northern Zheng family, once the emperor died, Zheng Jian had to suppress the domestic opposition first and then re-establish the emperor. After this great defeat, he also broke his body.

Ruan's massive attack added fuel to Zheng Jian's condition and he could not cope with this situation at all.

Ruan's attack was unstoppable, breaking through the Zheng army's blockade one after another, and even capturing Shenglong Mansion.

In such a good situation, Ruan Phuc was really excited and felt that his feudal enemy would be destroyed in the dust.

At the suggestion of the Portuguese, he decided to destroy the Zheng family in one go and unify the entire Annan. Therefore, he recruited all the troops that could be recruited in the country and transferred them to the north to continue to launch a devastating attack on the Zheng family.

Of course, it was impossible for Zheng's side to surrender. As he struggled to the death, the two sides fought several battles, with countless casualties.

In the original history, the Ruan family's Northern Expedition was due to conflicts between Ruan Youyi and Ruan Youjin, and they were eventually defeated by Zheng.
