But this time and space are different. The Qing army equipped with super heavy mortars specially designed to break the castle. As long as these heavy artillery are aimed at the castle, shells fall from the sky and hit vertically on the top of the castle. This kind of wooden castle cannot withstand the bombardment of thirty-two-pound mortars. It is estimated that after a few rounds of artillery bombardment, the castle will collapse.

Subud did not attack immediately, but waited until one night, when their turret was as solid as steel, then pushed the mortars up, set up the mortars behind the turret, aimed at the Rakshasa castle.

The next morning, as soon as the sun came out, the Qing army launched a fierce shelling of the Castle of Yaxa.

Two thick and short mortars were raised and the muzzles were aimed at the sky. With the launch of the attack order, the gunners ignited the mortars and conducted a round of test firing. Then the two mortars spit out flames one after another, and continuously smashed shells at the Castle of Yaxa at a rate of two rounds per minute.

The shells fell on the wooden castle. Although the exterior walls of the castle were reinforced by ice, they were like tanks in later generations. The shells were hard and the tops were very fragile. Thirty-two-pound shells hit the top of the castle and smashed through the wooden top. The shells smashed the wooden boards into pieces and kept drilling into the interior.

Subud listened to the sound of shells falling above the castle, and it was probably almost done. He ordered to replace the flowering bullet and bombard it.

The gunners cleaned the barrel with a wet mop dipped in warm water, then stuffed the set-up package into the medicine room, and then put the flowering shells with fuses into the muzzle. Then someone pierced the medicine package with an awl from behind and inserted it into the drug guide tube.

"Fire the gun!" Subud yelled.

A gunner lit the fuse of the flowering shell from the muzzle, and another gunner then lit the dielectric tube.

"Boom" with a dull roar, the shells that rose into the air flew towards the castle with fire. Then the second mortar cannon roared, and the shells rose into the air, falling like a meteor fire rain.

The shells passed through the smashed floor and drilled into the castle. Only a shocking explosion was heard, and a dazzling fire flashed in the castle, and fire erupted from the various shooting holes. The top of the castle also spewed out licking flames, looking like a volcano erupting.

After several rounds of artillery bombardment, the flowering shells continued to hit the inside of the castle, and a violent explosion occurred. Soon, the wooden castle caught fire and burned wildly.

A violent explosion occurred in the ammunition depot in the castle. Some of the Rakshasa cannons that had been smashed into the castle were also flew into space by the explosion air waves, flying hundreds of steps away, and smashing hard on the ground.

The artillery of the Rakshasa people was destroyed and there was no threat to the attacking party.

Subud ordered someone to push the three-pound cannon up and fire a fierce bombardment at the wooden walls around the castle.

Four three-pound cannons kept spitting out flames. This copper three-pound field cannon fires very fast, with the maximum rate of fire per minute up to six rounds, and the normal rate of fire is between two and three rounds. In just over ten minutes, the four three-pound cannons poured out nearly a hundred shells in succession, making the barrels heated, but the wooden walls of the outer wall of Yaquesa City were also blown to pieces.

The shells hit the wooden wall, and the ice layers outside shattered and scattered layer by layer, and the ice cubes fell on the ground, and the wood inside was exposed. The shells hit the wood, and the broken wooden boards and wood chips flew across, pits and cracks appeared, and holes were quickly blasted out.

The Castle of Yaquesa is just a castle in the middle of the city of Yaquesa. The Rakshasa people also set up a circle of wooden walls around them. In the city of Yaquesa, there are barracks, stables, slave residential areas and minion military residential areas.

Last time, there were only more than 180 people in the Rakshasa population, but now the troops have increased to more than 300. A group of Jurchens have also been recruited to serve as puppet troops for them.

The powerful Qing army that suddenly appeared changed its strategy and tactics, from the original strategy of being a must-do not have people to treat the local people differently. Those who are willing to obey will stay and help the Rakshasa people build castles, and even hire them to join the army; those who are unwilling to obey will use massacre methods.

In the city of Yakshasa, there are more than 1,000 local indigenous troops of the Rakshasa army, including Hezhe, Oroqen, Ewenki, Daur, Soren and other people from various Jurchen tribes. The Rakshasa people equipped these indigenous people with a small number of mesh rope guns, and most of the indigenous people used the weapons hunting bows and spears.

The wooden wall, which was violently bombarded by the three-pound cannon, collapsed and a huge break appeared.

"Kill!" The Qing archers and musketeers in front shouted and rushed into the break. Behind the forward line, followed by the crossbowman, followed by the rifled gunman. Each rifled gunman's musket was loaded with bullets. As long as the target was found, they would shoot without hesitation.

"Bang bang bang" The wooden houses spit out flames, and the smoke filled the smoke. The first group of Qing soldiers who rushed into the city fell down.

The Qing army crossbowmen and rifled gunmen who were following closely behind opened fire at the Rakshasa people who were hiding in the building and resisting stubbornly. The crossbow arrows shot into the room from the window, nailing the Rakshasa musketeers to death in the room; the rifled gunmen fired at precise points, and the bullet drilled directly through the shooting hole and hit the Rakshasa people behind.

More and more Qing troops rushed into the city of Yaquesa, with gunfire and killing sounds trembling. The Qing army had an absolute advantage in terms of number of people. After the musketeers in front fired the bullet, they immediately pulled out the bayonet, inserted it into the flintlock rifle, and rushed into the house with bayonets; the hand-to-hand combat soldiers holding big swords and spears behind also rushed into the city.

The indigenous puppet troops in the city soon could not resist it, and were beaten by a round of guns that they threw down their weapons and fled with their heads.

The Rakshasa people have house protection and load bullets faster, so they can only have time to fire one more round. However, firing one more round of bullets can not reverse their fate of defeat.

The Rakshasa people who had no time to load the bullets had to swing their axes and engage in a fierce hand-to-hand combat with the Qing army rushing over.

The axes of the Rakshasa people are very effective against heavy armored soldiers, but the Qing soldiers on the opposite side are all light armored and armorless soldiers. Of course, these light armored and armorless soldiers are killed by the axe, but weapons like axes are slow to attack, so they still need machetes to deal with armored and light armored targets.

Although the Rakshasa people are tall and big, they can fight at least three Qing soldiers by one person, but they cannot resist the number of opponents. Groups of Qing soldiers rushed up, and even if they drown them, they can drown the Rakshasa people.

The Rakshasa people fought to the death. After killing more than 500 Qing troops, they were killed more than 150 people. After a fierce battle, the Rakshasa people who could not resist finally put down their weapons and surrendered.

In this battle, the Qing army suffered more than 600 casualties, with a total of more than 1,500 casualties, and annihilated 300 Rakshasa soldiers and more than 1,100 indigenous soldiers, including more than 200 Rakshasa people and more than 100 prisoners; more than 200 indigenous people were killed and more than 800 were captured.

All the prisoners were incorporated into the cannon fodder team by Subud.

After conquering Yaxa, Subud wrote a memorial to Dorgon in the court. In the memorial, he explained to the court that he had sent troops to fight with the Rakshasa people and expelled the Rakshasa invaders who illegally invaded the land of the Qing Dynasty.

"Prince! Prince, it's so satisfying!" Obai hurriedly ran into Dorgon's regent's palace and reported to him, "Subud sent troops to expel the Rakshasa invaders."

Dorgon, who was seriously ill and bedridden, struggled to get up from the hospital bed, took over the report from Oboi, and was overjoyed: "Okay! That's great! Subude made great contributions this time! He defended the land for my Qing Dynasty!"

Obai said: "Prince, I have something to tell you. Before, Subude guarded the border and defeated the Rakshasa invasion many times. However, every time he submitted a memorial to the court, the court always ignored it. A month ago, he asked the court to send troops to expel the Rakshasa, but the court did not even reply."
