The more decisive people are to escape from Iskell City, the more depressed they are when they come back.

The Ming army did not even chase after him, and rushed out of the city to receive the prisoners and transported the baggage back, then returned to the city to make bear meat dumplings and pancakes.

Usually Dong Yiyuan did not allow his subordinates to make dumplings, but this battle was thundering loudly and the rain was small. He fired a few shots and drove everyone away. Obviously, he could not satisfy his subordinates who were idling.

Dumplings are delicious and troublesome dishes that are very suitable for them.

For this reason, they specially brought more than forty jars of pickled cabbage in their baggage and slaughtered the deer they caught a few days ago.

Amidst laughter, the tired and exciting day ended.

Perhaps this battle did not make people feel refreshed for the soldiers who were so tired of it, but it was the best result for Dong Yiyuan.

Only two soldiers were injured by the shooting army lying down in the snow. More than 400 enemy troops ran away one-third, and most of the remaining were injured by Fran's cannons and were all captured.

Although the prisoners may die in the next few days in a limited drug and cold environment, at least his soldiers have new characters and new stories to listen to.

Those Cossack prisoners who told the best story were like stars in Iskell.

From the officers' speeches to the flag army, they brought translations who knew their words to listen to stories all day long, holding a bag of horse milk wine, and rewarding the prisoners with a few newly made pastries from the barracks, just to tell stories to the Cossacks.

Any story is OK, sometimes the Ming army would propose to tell a story in any aspect; more often, as the prisoners thought, they would tell whatever they wanted.

It is OK to talk about the days when I was a serf in Tsarist Russia before; it is OK to talk about the years when I was a boatman and a knight; even when it comes to joining the Cossacks and gathering in the mountains and forests, the Heavenly Army will not resist.

It’s okay to talk about life, but it doesn’t matter if they talk about their love.

Of course, the crime is extremely serious. Some people say that if an officer maintains order, even if he is unable to calm down, he will kill the bad guy and give him two old punches, so he cannot kill anyone.

The flag soldiers listen to some fun, feel the love, hate, and love in different cultures, and enhance their knowledge and experience.

Also make psychological preparations for yourself when facing difficulties in the future.

After all, this heavenly army has marched thousands of miles away from the Central Plains and walked slowly, and has experienced two short-term poor food supply.

No one is mentally prepared to dig out undigested nuts from wild animals in the mountains and forests to satisfy their hunger.

The officers used this method to collect information. These Cossacks were knowledgeable and followed Yermak to travel between the vast world of the east and west of Ural Mountain. The geographical characteristics, hydrological characteristics, and mountain forests and plants they mentioned were all recorded by the on-duty propagandists in the prisoner-of-war camp.

The first prisoner who was released from the prisoner-of-war camp was an old Cossack. He taught the flag army how to distinguish how much nuts animal feces contained. He searched for a house in the city to accommodate one-third of the Mongolian cavalry every day.

I am not afraid of running. It is difficult to find feces in this season, as heavy snow is a radius of hundreds of miles deep.

It’s not that Cossacks can’t escape, these people are experts in the wilderness.

For the Ming army, this word is called survival in the wild.

For Cossacks, that was life.

But staying in the city and no one killed them, they could get good protection. If you chat with the flag army every day, you would get two taels of horse milk wine, two taels of meat, half taels of sauerkraut, four taels of rice or the same pancake.

No matter how strong his ability to survive in the wild, he could not find these things after leaving Iskel City, and he would face the Khanate hunters who might wander on the snowfield after losing their homeland at any time.

Without armor or weapons, a sharpened wooden arrow can kill him.

In fact, putting some of the Cossacks in the city to act freely is the first step in the complete plan of pleading the Cossacks.

This plan was proposed by Mi Yu, the former army of Zhu Yu’s command center, under the 1,000 households.

Mi Yu was a hundred households in the palace in his early years. He was nearly fifty years old when he was nearly fifty years old.

He was not quick to learn new things, but the traditional military generals had the virtues, especially good at making drawings, able to write and draw, and was selected as the deputy Qianhu Propaganda Officer of the Long Live Army.

He was old and was very sympathetic to such a veteran in the army. He shouldn't have followed the Western Expedition, but he had no choice but to come by himself.

Because Mi Yu's eldest son Mi Wanchun passed the Wu Jinshi in the fifth year of Longqing, he gave up the opportunity to be a general in Tongzhou and entered the Xuanfu Martial Arts Hall. After coming out, he naturally joined the Wansui Army and is currently the Thousand Houses of Zhu Yu's front army.

Mi Wanchun's troops were the first to fight with the Kazakh Turkish Ministry.

Father and son soldiers go into battle.

My son is a thousand households, and I am a preacher.

The Mi family and his son were descendants of Mi Fu, a painter in the Northern Song Dynasty, and were both proficient in drawing and mapping. Therefore, Zhu Yu's front army, Thousand Households, was the most powerful unit in drawing and drawing.

During the march westward, Ji Yu felt that the army was not familiar with the terrain and the hydrology was not good. Even if the weather did not change, the march was extremely difficult. Therefore, he proposed to recruit some Cossacks and let them act as guides.

During the days of chatting with the prisoners, Mi Yu drew thirty-two pairs of large topographic maps based on Cossacks' oral descriptions, which included all-inclusiveness. After continuing to advance on-site inspections in the spring, he could leave the most advanced map of the era for the troops behind him.

On the third day after the battle outside the city ended, more than twenty shooting troops came back with the small white flag.

They swept the snow outside the city out of a small circle of open space, then placed the axe, musket, a belt with a knife, and a slanted cartridge learned from Western Europeans, and raised a bonfire in the middle, and each wrapped in cotton armor and sat around.

Very hungry.

Dong Yiyuan in the city was still discussing with his subordinates whether to accept them. Another group of shooting troops of about thirty people stumbled back and followed suit, but they did not bring firewood, so they had to sit with the group ahead.

According to the scouts who were carrying resin telescopes in the city, the group of people in front were still chasing them, as if they were afraid that there would be too many people and the Ming army in the city would not accept surrender, and there was a fight between the two sides.

However, no one was injured. He just fell in the snow with a few stumbles. He didn't eat a grain of rice in three days, and he had no strength to walk. In the end, both sides could only sit angrily on the sweeping open space.

It made Dong Yiyuan laugh in the city: "If I had known today, why would you run away two days ago?"

These two groups of people were really not the same group. After being defeated at the city, they ran and crawled, and ran away along the footprints in the snow. Some were following the way they came, some were following the way of the Ming army hunting team in Iskell City, and some were following the way of the Ming army's full meal and digging holes on the river and fishing ice.

In the end, there were only a few hundred people who ran several roads, but they went to the same destination, so they had to come back in the end.

The victory or defeat of the war and the mission of the Tsar are no more terrible than hunger.

Hunger even makes them forget the fear of death.

Death is a matter of moment, and hunger is a torture for a long time.

When they returned to the city of Iskell, they would admit that even if the Ming army shot them to death.
