C1481 Blood-stained Songhua River

The flames of war burned the banks of the Pine Flower River. The Cossack cavalry, which came from the north to the south, captured one town after another. Those citizens who had a sliver of hope in their hearts, all their possessions were plundered, and those who resisted were killed without exception.

According to Guo Geli and the others' theories, this was already enough to give face to the Great Qing. This was merely borrowing a path to fight.

To these invaders, slaughtering a city was as easy as eating a meal.

Stealing the city but not slaughtering it. Although these invaders had left some face for their men, in the hearts of these people, this robbery had already sentenced them to death.

On the other side of the pass, the more food there was, the better it was, and the farther north they went, the lower the level of agriculture would be. On the other side of the pass, the more food was better, and the farther north they went, the lower the level of agriculture would be.

The real transformation of the outer layer into a large granary was only possible after the second world war, when the level of mechanization of agriculture had increased. Only by relying on the power of mechanization could the Great Northern Wastelands carry out large-scale reclamation.

In the current Songhua River basin, agriculture was only a small part of the economic base upon which the population relied. Most people relied on logging, ginseng gathering, gold mining, hunting … And so on and so forth.

The commoners that had been busy for a year used ginseng, leather goods, wood, herbs, and golden sand … The expensive goods were exchanged with the caravan, and the food exchanged was rations used to survive the long winter.

The food on this piece of land was heavily dependent on the input of merchants, especially during the cold winter when the snow sealed off the mountains and the rivers were frozen.

Spring was just as difficult, it was the time when youth refused to take over. The snow and rivers in the mountains would need a month to unseal, and only then would people be able to rely on wild vegetables, hunting, and fishing to barely survive.

Furthermore, all the rations for this month had become the spoils of war for the Russian. How many women, children, and elderly people had to starve to death?

Atrocities have provoked public outrage, and the men on the other side of the pass are tough people. Since you won't let us work, then we'll work with you. From the first day of the robbery, twenty thousand Rakasha cavalry fell into the vast ocean of the people's war.

In the dense forests on both sides of the road, there were hunters who used cold weapons almost every day. These aboriginals who came like the wind often changed places after shooting, killing more than ten Russian s in a wave before turning tail and fleeing.

In the beginning, Guo Geli still had the intention to send Rangers into the mountain to fight back, but no one expected that the mountain was full of traps. Under the thin layer of snow, only a few Rangers managed to get out of the mountain alive.

Not only were the hunters fighting back, but the loggers, farmers, and miners had also organized themselves to stir up trouble for the invaders. Whether or not a hole had appeared on the ice that had been gouged open and then temporarily frozen, it only took the snowflakes a few hours to cover the weak ice surface with a layer of snow.

They didn't even have the mental defenses to fall into the water with their horses like the dumplings. At their current temperatures, most of them wouldn't be able to survive.

What was even more depressing was that there was a large amount of timber piled up in many narrow spots along the river. The cavalry couldn't jump over it, and could only dismount and rely on manpower to move them around.

Fu Mannuofu was enraged to the point of bursting, "Guo Geli! We can't continue like this. If we continue to harass them, how long will it take for us to reach the Haishenwai? Aren't you full of evil ideas? "You came up with an idea …"

Guo Geli growled with a gloomy face: "Lowly pagan, isn't it just eating a little bit of food from you? You dare to harass the army like this, do you really think that we do not dare to attack you? "

"Fu Mannuofu! You will personally lead the team and capture my survivors from the villages and towns along the two rivers. How many people have you captured for me? We will use the captives to clear the way! "

"I will bring people here to clean up the messy wood. When you return, I will use the life and blood of a hundred commoners to sacrifice this river … "Send out the message that while we're marching, there will be more people causing trouble for our army. If we run into any trouble, we will kill a hundred prisoners. If we run into any one of them, we will kill two hundred …"

"If there are more than three locations, I will begin my massacre of the city. I will not be sealing my blade!" I would like to see who is more ruthless than who! "

"Hahaha, this is a really good idea. Before, I wasn't convinced of your strength, but now it seems that the commander's decision to make me his assistant is very reasonable. I'll listen to you …" first group, follow me. The second and third groups, split up and attack.

In a short period of time, howls of agony could be heard from both banks of the Songhua River. Those civilians did not expect that not only did these bandits want food, but they also wanted people, especially the elderly, women, and children. In just half a day, more than a thousand elderly and weak were gathered in front of the army.

Guo Geli sent out all of his interpreters and rode his horse to the sides of the river to shout at the empty forests and mountains, "We know you guys are hiding here. To tell you the truth, your actions have completely angered us!"

"In order to punish you for your wanton actions, we have decided to kill a hundred citizens here and use their blood to warn you! "Don't think about harassing the army anymore. If anything happens, the army will kill another 100 prisoners. After three harassment, we will never seal our sabers …"

"Do you hear me? Never Seal the Saber... "Everlasting Blade …"

The translator ran back and forth on the riverbed, shouting as he ran, shouting as he ran, and finally angered the hidden expert in the dense forest. With a gunshot, the head of one of the translators was knocked to the ground, causing him to turn around and flee.

Guo Geli sighed, "He's really stubborn! "If you refuse a toast, you will be punished. Kill him for me …"

With the order given, more than a hundred frightened women and children were pushed out from the front row. The cavalrymen drew their sabers and hacked down without hesitation, and instantly, hot blood filled the entire ice surface.

The captives all broke into tears, and even the forest in the distance was filled with heart-tearing and lung-splitting howls. Fu Mannuofu sneered, "It's exactly what the Chinese said, if you don't see the coffin, you won't cry!"

"Order the army to depart! Using a carriage to pull these captives, I want to see if these people have the heart to make a move against their own people. Hahaha … "Let's go!"

The pure white blood, the crystal clear ice, and the brilliant and dazzling blood! As expected, the massacre intimidated the citizens who resisted, and from that moment on, the Rakasha cavalry's marching speed increased once again.

But they did not expect that it was this brutal massacre that had angered a person and changed the course of the battle.
