New Shun 1730

Du Qian thought, isn't this bullshit? Do I need the courage to rob a government ship? With my courage now, if I really encounter such a caravan, my legs will not be so lame.

This method is good, but I can't use it.

If the court does not order it, it will be a presumptuous border conflict.

The court wants to go to war, and I don't have a strong relationship. When I know it, the Russians will definitely know it, and they will definitely not be fooled.

Otherwise, it is said that it is easy to be an official if you have someone in the court? It is not necessarily necessary to deliberately promote. As long as you know some news in advance and get some inside information, you can do things that others dare not do.

"Great! Great! Follow Li Mu's wisdom. The Russians will definitely be fooled."

Liu Yu smiled and said, "Let me make it clearer. If the Russians are fooled, let's do something big. I eat meat and your son drinks soup. It's okay."

"If the Russians are not fooled, even if I have great skills, I can't rely on these thousands of people without artillery to capture the Russian castle."

"If they are not fooled, then we will go back to our own homes and find our own mothers. The relationship is still there. If your son really goes to Wude Palace in the future, I will still take care of him. There is no doubt about it."

Du Qian was overjoyed. He felt that Liu Yu's words were more useful than those doctors' plasters. His old legs didn't hurt much.

Gu Lu stood up with all his strength, bowed to Liu Yu and said: "Thank you, Lord Liu. Let's go check the terrain and choose a good location?"

"Well, there is no time to lose. If fighting has already started elsewhere, we will be too late. Lord Du has a leg injury, so don't go to check the terrain. My son and I will take people there. Lord, gather the people in Handoli City."

"We want merit, and the soldiers want money. After destroying the Luosha castle, you and I don't want the money and fur inside. Divide it all."

Du Qian agreed repeatedly, thinking that if he really succeeded, what would the fur and silver mean? With military merit and official position, why would he be afraid of not having money in the future?

It is rare that this little Lord Liu can think about how the people in the city can contribute.

There is no time to lose, and the two of them stopped being polite.

Liu Yu left the house and called Du Feng who was waiting for the result outside the door.

Du Feng saw his father leaning on a crutch and still beaming with joy, and he could not help guessing that the deal was done, and he breathed a sigh of relief.

Before, he had never known whether he was looking forward to the deal being done or not.

But now, he was only happy, and did not even think about the regret of "how did it get done". Only then did he realize that what he had been looking forward to was the deal being done.

He followed Liu Yu on the horse, and called Mantou and a few other good men. He rowed a small boat, let the horse swim behind the boat, and directly crossed the Songhua River and went straight to the fortress of the Luosha people on the bank of the Heilongjiang River.

Lying in the bushes far away from the fortress, Liu Yu observed with a telescope for a while.

Hannibal on the opposite side was indeed organizing people to repair the fortress and digging pits outside.

But there were still a large number of Cossacks who did not work at all, just watching the excitement on the side. It was estimated that this black man could not control this group of unrestrained Cossacks.

Judging from the state of the opposite side, they should not be prepared for the war with Russia. Or even if the war started, these people might not have received the news because they were more than a thousand miles apart.

This was an opportunity.

Retreating from the fortress, Liu Yu selected a "grave" for the Cossack downstream.

Close to the river, next to a small valley, not far from the Russian castle.

If you light a bonfire and cover it with some fresh reeds to make smoke, it will be visible in Stepanovsk upstream.

The nearby woods are dense, so it is a good place to ambush.

There is only one way to retreat on the road. As long as the retreat is cut off, those Cossacks who grew up in the Don River can swim, and their first reaction will definitely be to jump into the water to escape.

Prepare some small boats and hide them in advance. This is downstream, swimming against the current. Those Cossacks who jump into the water to escape can't outrun the birch bark boats.

After carefully checking the surrounding environment, Liu Yu decided to choose this place to lure the enemy and ambush.

After remembering the landmarks and locations, the group returned to the Handori Acropolis along the original route.

A few days later, the people led by Jiaolaobutu had also returned. Liu Yu spent money to buy some food and wine from the military households of the Acropolis. After resting for two days, he began to act.

Jiaolaobutu led seventy people and drove the carriages to the valley. The carriages were arranged into a car array, and some tea cakes and rhubarb were deliberately hung outside to dry.

The reason why seventy people were chosen was that seventy people were just the right number.

If there were too few people, many Cossacks would not want to share the money.

If there were only ten people and so many goods, the Cossacks who found it might fight with a few good buddies. The fewer people, the more money they would share. That would be meaningless.

If there were too many people, the Cossacks also knew that they would take their lives first and then money.

If hundreds of people relied on car arrays for defense, with the Cossacks' many years of experience in playing car arrays, they would know that they could not attack, and they might really "extend a helping hand, take the initiative to rescue, and ask for some benefits fairly."

The three captured cannons were also assigned to Jiaolaobutu, telling him not to fire in a hurry and to wait until the Cossacks approached before firing.

Liu Yu led the remaining musketeers to ambush in the woods. Once the Cossacks were fooled and attacked Jiaolaobutu's chariot formation, he would surround them from both wings.

Du Feng led the light cavalry of the Handuoli Guards and waited behind. Look for opportunities to attack from behind, or when the Cossacks escaped, chase them as much as possible and prevent them from returning to the castle.

Du Qian asked another officer of the Handoli Guard, along with some Hezhe people, to prepare a birch bark boat and hide it in the reeds upstream.

If you encounter a Cossack jumping into the water and escaping, use your boat to pursue him.

Everyone was in high spirits and morale was high. They like this kind of ambush warfare.

Du Qian and Liu Yu jointly stated that if the Rakshasa Castle is captured, all the skins and silver will be divided equally among everyone. They don't follow the rules and take half.

In addition, in addition to the furs and money, the soldiers were also happy to get some people.

Normally, if some people were captured, the court would make arrangements nearby. The captured people were usually arranged to work as tenant farmers for the government soldiers. This place is not Guan Nei. It has a vast land and few people. There is plenty of land but a shortage of people to work the land.

The captured expedition ship was on standby at Sanjiangkou, hiding in puddles for future use. All captured prisoners are strictly guarded and cannot escape.

After the arrangement was completed, Liu Yu jumped into the prepared car formation.

"Brother Shu, you are under the greatest pressure. You have to attract them so that I can outflank them. You have to resist. If you can't handle it, then I will lead a siege of hundreds of Cossacks. There’s a queue of cars.”

"There can't be more people. If there are more, I'm afraid those Rakshasa people will really choose to be good people and help."

Jiao Laobutu smiled cheerfully and said loudly: "Don't worry, sir. These people are not young children. They have all killed people in the northwest. How many Cossacks can come? Only three hundred. Brothers all know it, so naturally there are Morale, can bear it.”

"I'm not afraid that I won't be able to bear it, I'm just afraid that the Cossacks won't come. If those Rakshasa people really don't come, will your Excellency really have nothing to do?"

Liu Yu thought for a while and nodded cautiously.

"If you don't come, there's really nothing you can do."

I had no ability to capture a bastion defended by a general who had studied fortress engineering in France with just this few manpower. Give me three thousand troops and fifty heavy cannons, and maybe I'll give it a try. "

After saying this, he pulled Jiao Laobutu aside and whispered: "Brother Shu, there is something I need to tell you."

Seeing Liu Yu's mysterious appearance, Jiao Lao Butu was a little confused. Then Liu Yu's words almost made his heart jump out of his throat.

"As of now, I won't hide it from you. The Kunlun slave among the Rakshasa people... is the adopted son of the Rakshasa King. Do you know why I insist on doing this?"

Gu...

Jiao Laobutu spent a lot of effort to collect half a mouthful of saliva, swallowed it hard, and moistened his dry throat.

My heartbeat was like the earth shaking during the Shaanxi-Gansu earthquake a few years ago. It was so rumbling that I could not calm down at all. The blood in his veins rushed to his head, and his head felt red.

The adopted son of King Rakshasa?

OMG! This...no wonder, no wonder Mr. Liu is so determined to do this.

If this fucking thing is done, Mr. Liu will eat the big fat meat, and I will not only drink the soup, but maybe I will be lucky enough to lick the skin of the meat.

"What a shame."

After holding it in for a long time, I finally managed to say something.

"Don't worry, sir. I will use all my energy to resist. Sir, there is no need to rush. You must wait until all the Rakshasa people have taken the bait and the formation has been deployed before outflanking them."

Liu Yu patted his shoulder and nodded vigorously at him.

As soon as Liu Yu left, Jiao Lao Butu knelt down by the river.

"Rakshasa Cossacks, please, come."

He kowtowed three times, not for those Cossacks, but for his own great achievement.

In the previous dynasty, when eunuchs were called daddy, they had to be ranked according to seniority and official rank, let alone parents who deserved such merit. If he really could be called by his father, Jiao Lao Butu would not mind being slapped twice by his own father in the underworld in the future.

After kowtowing and getting ready, a bonfire was lit by the river.

When the flames started to rise, all the freshly cut reed leaves were pressed against the flames, creating a yellow smoke that looked like a cumulonimbus cloud.

Soaring straight into the sky, there is no wind at all, and it can be seen even from dozens of miles away.

Liu Yu looked at the rising smoke from a distance and thought it was almost done. Everything that needs to be done is done, and all that is left is to do your best and obey fate.

It is said that he has done what he should do. This tactic is of no use to the regular army. It can be used on Cossacks who are prone to robbery, and it can be considered tailor-made.

If you are still not fooled by this, then you can only say "fate is strange".

Knowing that no matter how wide he opened his eyes, it would not increase his chances by half, and praying to the Queen Mother and the Virgin Mary would not increase his chances by half, Liu Yu rolled up a cigarette and puffed on it for a few times until his brain felt dizzy. It finally calmed down my mood.

A few young men on the side who can write in Russian are writing a few lines of words according to Liu Yu's order.

In the distance, Cherikov, who had chosen to tie his hair after being captured, was being escorted towards Liu Yu.

Liu Yu closed his eyes and drove away the dizziness caused by smoking so hard. He knew that he could only wait for this matter. The right way was to calm down and prepare for the next step.

The young man who could write in Russian finally stopped writing, and the deer blood used as paint was smeared all over several pieces of leather that were put together.

The Russian writing on it is large and only has a few simple letters.

"Refuse to pay Yasak!"
