The first assault on Dihua failed, and Tymoshenko ordered the whole army to build more ladders. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Then the accompanying staff officer reported today's losses to Marshal Tymoshenko: "Today we lost 10,000 or 20,000 people, and no one specifically counts them. Two days later, the troops with supplies arrived to make up for this loss, and importantly, we lost twenty-seven artillery pieces today, all of which were brought from Moscow and were difficult to replenish.

Judging from the defense of Dihua City, there were more than 200 artillery pieces on the city wall at most, maybe more, and at least 100,000 regular troops in the city participated in the defense of the city, maybe more. Let me say that the artillery and muskets of the Tatars have a longer range, faster rate of fire and greater power than our army. Even stronger than the Anglo-French troops in the Crimea.

The rear is about to be looted by us, and soon we will not have enough food or even fresh water. However, if we continue to attack the city before then, I think our army will be almost gone.

In a word, marshal, we have hit a hard bone. ”

Tymoshenko: "I know, but if we show a little timidity, the tsar will send someone to replace us and continue the attack." Do you want to go back and be ridiculed? ”

Staff: "No, Marshal. ”

Tymoshenko: "Then tomorrow let the gray cattle continue to attack the city." ”

Staff Officer: "I want to set up a hidden artillery position outside the city in the middle of the night, so that I can use it during the siege tomorrow." ”

Tymoshenko: "Do as you say, Ulyanov." ”

Staff Officer: "Yes, Marshal. ”

For the Qing army, this day's battle was also a warm-up, and the only thing that was too much loss was the black fire oil, and the unrestrained Qing army threw away half of the black fire oil in Dihua's reserves in one day. Fortunately, Xianfeng didn't care, blindly defending was not Xianfeng's dish, seeing that the Russians were not more powerful, Xianfeng started to fight back out of the city.

That night, the sandbags blocking the city gate were removed.

To say that the arrangement of the Russians at night still played a role, the next morning in the artillery bombardment of both sides, the Russians like a divine help of a shell smashed the gate of Dihua City. Then the Russians were pleasantly surprised to find that the city gate was not blocked by sandbags and other objects.

Just as Tymoshenko ordered a general attack, four teams of shiny tin cans, 18,000 tin cans, together with 40,000 cuirassiers, and 100,000 cotton armor soldiers, poured out of the city gate to fight a decisive battle with the Russians outside the city.

On the battlefield, ammunition flew on both sides, knives and guns flickered, and they fought again and again. The two commanders constantly threw their chips into the battlefield. By the afternoon, Xianfeng had already put all the iron cans in his hands into the battlefield, if it weren't for a few military ministers, Xianfeng himself would have to go into battle to kill the enemy.

And the Russians, after the collapse of a Cossack cavalry unit and the Qing army in the afternoon in a battle with iron cans, the Russians, who had suffered heavy casualties, were shaken on all fronts and retreated.

After Tymoshenko ordered her 100,000-strong infantry division, which had just been drunk, to break off, hundreds of thousands of crippled or frightened Russian troops retreated from under the city of Dihua. Xianfeng took the opportunity to charge on all fronts, and sent the hundreds of thousands of light cavalry that had been prepared for a long time out to pursue the Russian army, and along the way, the Russian army surrendered in pieces, and then was beheaded in pieces - all the Qing army needed was their heads, and Dihua City was already located in the northwest, and there was not so much food and water to feed so many prisoners.

On this day, the Qing army beheaded 300,000, and in the pursuit the next day, the light cavalry beheaded 200,000 again. Before he could reach the territory of Russia, Tymoshenko, along with his own head and the head of the million-strong army he had brought with him, had already been placed on the Beijing Temple outside the city of Dihua.

When the Qing army regained the line between Astana and Omsk, the Tsar, the prince minister of Moscow, received the news of Tymoshenko's defeat and the annihilation of the entire army.

However, everyone didn't take it seriously, it must have been that old guy Tymoshenko was too stupid to lose to the docile Tatars, we Russians are so barbaric and fierce, how many Tatars come to die.

The most important question today is the ownership of the wealth, land, serfs, and women left by the Tymoshenko family. Everyone quarreled for ten days in order to compete for the property left by Marshal Tymoshenko.

Some people think that they have a leg with the Tymoshenkovs, so they naturally have the right to inherit Tymoshenko's property. Some people believe that he is the brother-in-law of the third niece of Marshal Tymoshenko's eldest cousin, so he has the right to inherit Marshal Tymoshenko's family. During this period, there were more than 50 duels because of quarrels, and more than 30 people were killed and wounded.

After the quarrel, the Tanmalai reported that the Qing army had advanced to Chelyabinsk, and Bingfeng began to threaten Ufa and Yekaterinburg.

For a time, the frightened Russian top brass was divided into two factions, one faction was determined to fight a decisive battle with the Qing army under the city of Moscow, and the other faction retreated, burning the fortified walls of Moscow City, and the main force of Qingye retreated to Kiev or even Warsaw or St. Petersburg, and used the tricks of dealing with Napoleon to deal with the Qing army. If the Qing army occupying Moscow continued to advance westward, it could unite with European countries to resist the Qing army.

Since neither of the two factions could convince anyone, Russia then made preparations with two hands, one group was ready to march westward, and the other group was ready to resist to the end in Moscow. Although the tsar himself wanted to run, the previous position of the tsar was the Moscow resistance, so he had to stay as the leader of the resistance, unless the tsar and the nobility had the same interests, otherwise the tsar in Russia was not omnipotent. It's a word, and it's a shadowless thing.

During this time, the parties and salons of the nobles of Moscow were held as well, and the nobles continued to get drunk, laugh with the women, and then fight in the house or in the garden.

The defeated armies that were constantly retreating in front of them, as well as the small nobles and rich craftsmen who fled to Moscow, forgot about the war when they saw that Moscow was still in the gentle country, and they forgot about the war.

By the time Xianfeng's commander of the million-strong Qing army came to Moscow, Moscow had urgently recruited four million troops and was ready for battle, and these four million troops were complex, of which only one-tenth were the former regular army, and the rest were refugees from all over the country and serfs in the areas near Moscow.

The four million troops urgently mobilized by Russia were all fine except for the lack of training, armament, and even food. For example, the bread of the Russian army, which is supposed to be a large column a day, can only receive a four-pound loaf of bread a day, most of which is a large bread with strange things other than flour, and it is normal to eat a lot of sawdust and sand from it, and a loaf of bread can also be used as a helmet, shield, and hidden weapon - this is really hard to starve his body and skin......
