But before Klezanovsky's order could be heard, several soldiers slammed open the door and hurriedly reported to him: "Mr. Governor, something is wrong, the Cossacks in the fortress have rebelled!" ”

Both Krezanovsky and Chernyaev were frightened and hurried out of the room, and there were already bursts of gunfire in their ears, and they were very close to the inside of the castle.

The two didn't have time to say anything, they exchanged glances, and then gathered their own personal troops to quickly control the situation in the city. But at this moment, the situation is no longer beyond the control of manpower, and the whole of Orenburg is already boiling.

Tens of thousands of Cossack soldiers in Orenburg, after hearing the news of the assassination of the Tsar again, finally convinced the truth of the matter. And in a tavern in Orenburg, when more than 30 drunken Cossack soldiers and five Guards soldiers had a friction, which then expanded, and turned into a clash between thousands of Cossack soldiers and hundreds of Guardsmen, the long-hidden contradictions between the two sides finally broke out irrepressibly. As soon as this fuse was lit, the Cossack soldiers in Orenburg, who were already in panic and excitement, immediately burst like a raging fire.

Numerous Cossack soldiers rushed to the quartermaster depots and warehouses in the fortress in droves to loot property, especially the soft and precious stones from the hands of the Kazakhs, which were the favorite of these Cossacks.

Other stupid Cossack soldiers, full of hatred, teamed up with some fellow villagers and friends to find revenge against the Guards soldiers who had bullied them before, and countless vendettas began to stir up in the streets and alleys of the fortress.

Krezanovsky was the first to react, and he immediately fled with 400 Guards cronies from the gate of Orenburg in the direction of the northwestern foothills of the Ural Mountains. Chernyaev was too slow to react, and when he was ready to flee, he found that except for the 200 or so cronies in his hand, the rest of the people were either entangled by the Cossacks, had been killed, or had fled. Before he could escape from the fortress, he was surrounded by a Siberian Cossack cavalry regiment led by Kolpakovsky, who had arrived from Brod in the north.

Chernyaev begged for mercy loudly, asking Krezanovsky to let go of a way for the sake of everyone being colleagues, but Krezanovsky did not care at all, and directly ordered an attack, killing all the thin Cherniaev and the casual guards, and looting all the treasures that Chernyaev carried, and then rushed to Samara, a large Cossack cluster west of the Ural Mountains, and his hometown, where he was ready to lead his troops to raise an army, Build a kingdom of the Cossacks themselves.

However, it is said that southeast of Orenburg, the army led by the 4 infantry divisions of the 3rd Field Corps of the Chinese Imperial Army is stationed on the south bank of the Sakmara, which is separated from Orenburg by the Sakmara.

Suddenly, a report was received from a front-line scout that a large force of Cossack cavalry was approaching in the direction of Orenburg in the north and northeast directions outside Orenburg, suspected to be Cossack reinforcements from Tsarist Russia.

Luo Qiongshu immediately ordered to send half of his troops forward to meet the attack, so as to avoid being flanked by the enemy on both sides and being attacked by the enemy on his back.

Unexpectedly, within a day's effort, the scouts were suddenly surprised to find that the Cossack cavalry, instead of attacking their own barracks, had made a direct detour into Orenburg and the west of Orenburg, as if instead of helping Orenburg resist themselves, it seemed that they were blocking the troops in Orenburg and preventing them from escaping.

At this time, some Kazakhs who had escaped from Orenburg revealed to the scouts that there was civil strife in Orenburg, and that the Cossacks and the guards under their direct command were fighting each other.

Luo Qiongshu, who learned the news, was overjoyed!

He couldn't have imagined that it would be such a result! At the same time, he also greatly praised Ren Weiqi and the reconnaissance battalion. In Luo Qiongshu's view, it was undoubtedly Ren Weiqi's strategy that worked, and succeeded in causing conflicts and infighting between the guards and Cossack soldiers in Orenburg, and it seemed that it was far beyond their expectations, and even the Siberian Cossack cavalry corps outside the city went to war with Orenburg.

Luo Qiongshu immediately ordered to take the opportunity to attack Orenburg. As a result, the mighty Third Field Corps, together with more than 100,000 troops of the Mongol, Xibe, Kazakh, and Wu'er armies, crossed the Sakmara-River through pontoon bridges in a row. Luo Qiongshu was quite cautious in his use of troops, and even at this time, in order to guard against the trap of the enemy army in Orenburg, he still set up artillery in order to prepare for the attack step by step, and ordered the Mongol and Vultures cavalry as the vanguard to tentatively attack Orenburg.

But what he didn't expect was that there was no one to resist in Orenburg, and some of the ladders that were originally thought to be useless prepared in advance came in handy, and the Vultures and Kazakh soldiers climbed the ladders, entered the inside of the fortress, and opened the gate of the fort. The combined army of the Chinese Empire rushed in, and no one expected that the extremely strong Orenburg would be conquered so simply as possible!

It was only at this time that thousands of Cossack soldiers in Orenburg began to react, and a small number began to organize themselves to go up to the castle in a panic and began to resist, trying to drive out the imperial troops who entered the castle, while most of the other Cossacks began to flee from the western gate of Orenburg.

These Orenburg Cossack soldiers, who resisted, soon suffered their best. These Cossack soldiers, numbering less than two or three thousand, were familiar with the terrain of the castle and had a slight advantage at first, but after a few minutes of fighting, more and more Chinese imperial troops entered the interior of Orenburg through the east and south gates of the fortress, and after several intensive firing of these two or three thousand Cossack soldiers, it was reduced to less than two thousand. Moreover, shouts of killing rang out from all sides, and the rest of the Orenburg defenders fled, leaving them to resist stubbornly. Only then did they come to their senses and hurriedly retreat westward, but at this time, where could they escape?

The Kazakh cavalry, wielding sabers and short guns, reaped the lives of fleeing Cossacks from behind, hated these Cossack robbers who had bullied their homeland for many years.

Orenburg was soon pacified. At this time, Luo Qiongshu realized that the reason why it was so easy to capture Orenburg was that Orenburg was full of looted and abandoned property. When the Chinese Imperial Army attacked Orenburg, the Cossack soldiers in the fort, except for those who escaped smartly, were still stupidly robbing the property, and no one paid attention to the attack from outside, and it was precisely because of this that they could occupy Orenburg so easily.

Luo Qiongshu immediately ordered that all the property should be confiscated, and the Kazakh cavalry, the Mongolian and Xibe cavalry, the Wuer soldiers and the Hui army formation would also be rewarded according to their merits. And this confiscation only found out that the Orenburg family is really rich, but most of the wealth looted from everywhere has now returned to the Chinese Empire.
