The Battle of Hutong was a military conflict which occurred on 10 June 1658 between the Tsardom of Russia and the Qing dynasty and Joseon.
The Russians set up a defensive formation along a riverbank, where they exchanged fire with the Qing ships to no great effect.
Forty Cossacks managed to board a deserted Qing vessel and flee but they were eventually hunted down and slaughtered.

Although a group of independent Cossacks would return to Albazin in the 1660s, the Russian state withdrew most of its commitment to the Amur region, leaving it a no man's land.
