Nicholas and Brodaevsky took off their ornate generals' uniforms, put on ordinary soldiers' uniforms, blended in the midst of the rout, and fled back and forth along the way they came.

Along the way, the airships of the Huaxia Army kept flying overhead to hit the remnants of the Hubei army, and dropped large and small bombs on the fleeing crowd of the Hubei army, or strafed with machine guns and machine guns.

This is a flesh-and-blood road paved with the corpses of the Hubei army and the bodies of the wounded soldiers.

Nicholas jumped up several times and shouted to cheer up all the Hubei troops, but not many of the fleeing Hubei soldiers knew the commander of the front army in the title of grand duke, and even if they did, they pretended not to know at the moment, lowered their heads and ran away.

This is because the majority of the Hubei army has long lost all confidence under the combined attack of the Huaxia army's powerful artillery fire, airships, airplanes, armored vehicles, and other monster weapons, and no matter how the officers and generals of the Hubei army try to reason with the facts, no soldiers are still willing to continue fighting.

Nicholas and Brodaevsky had no choice but to quickly follow the rout and flee like lost dogs.

However, the escape along the way was also very unsmooth, in addition to those airships and planes that and pee overhead, there were often militiamen and small groups of Chinese troops from the Chinese Empire rushing out to suddenly attack the Hubei army.

And the Hubei army was already a rabble at this time, except for fleeing, it was only fleeing, and there was no way to organize a counterattack.

Nicholas was distraught, but under the persuasion of Brodaevsky, he still had one last hope, to return to the Zhangjiakou area, firmly hold the positions along the Great Wall with infantry, and nail it to the capital of the Chinese Empire about 200 kilometers, waiting for reinforcements from the Siberian Front, and also leave the Oros Empire with a basis for bargaining with the Chinese Empire.

According to Brodaevsky's assumption, if the area north of Zhangjiakou is firmly defended, the Chinese Empire may make huge concessions in future negotiations, ceding the grasslands north of the Great Wall, and seizing the land north of the Yellow River, but this is also the Oros Empire has made some progress in Far East Asia, and Nicholas and Brodaevsky will not be too ugly defeated.

But when the defeated Hubei army fled after a day and a night, and was about to approach Zhangjiakou, it encountered a lot of Hubei infantry who fled from Zhangjiakou, crying that Zhangjiakou was about to fall into the hands of the Hubei army, and suddenly a huge group of steel monsters of the Huaxia army appeared, and Zhangjiakou City was recaptured.

"The Iron Monster Swarm?" Brodaevsky thought it was the armored car group of the Huaxia Army, but when someone in the Zhangjiakou rout drew the tank, neither he nor Nicholas knew what it was.

Although Brodaevsky didn't know what kind of monster it was, he listened carefully to the description of the rout: "When the bullet hits, it comes out with a spark, the shell explodes, and after the smoke and dust of the flames dissipate, the monster still bursts into the blue smoke of its buttocks, and shoots and crushes our people, causing countless casualties, and the monster is covered with human flesh and bones, I don't know why God would allow them to be so cruel......"

"How can there be such cruel and barbaric things in this world, why does God turn a blind eye, why?"

When the Hubei army accused others of barbarism and cruelty, they forgot that they had slaughtered and slaughtered an unknown number of tribes and people in Siberia for hundreds of years, and created many unjust souls and bones.

While the troops were still cursing viciously, Brodaevsky felt that something was wrong, and pulled Nicholas in his ear and whispered: "Your Excellency, commander, we must get out of here, or it will be too late!" ”

Before Brodaevsky could finish speaking, thunderous gunfire rang out on the side of the road, and the rumbling of engines could be heard in the air, which was the prelude to the airships and planes that had been familiar to the Hubei army for the past few days to come and pull down the sheep's balls.

Brodaevsky was about to mount his horse when a cannonball flew and exploded, a thick flame enveloped where he stood, and a powerful blast wave of the explosion immediately tore his body to pieces.

Brodaevsky died like this, so quickly, for a split second, without any howl, without a trace of pain.

It's a thrill!

Brodaevsky did not have to worry about returning to Moscow and being sent to the gallows for treason for dereliction of duty, nor about endless humiliation as a prisoner of the Chinese Empire!

But because there were several guards who blocked the blast wave of the cannonball and the flying fragments, Nicholas was not hurt at all, but his heart was extremely painful, and if the cannonball hit him, he might have gone to God in an instant without a trace of pain.

Nicholas's heart was in agony to the point of death, numb as a walking dead zombie, wrapped in the remnants of the guards around him and desperately trying to escape.

"I can't go back to Moscow, I can't go back to Moscow......" Remembering the attack of his political enemies, Nicholas said this sentence in his heart as he hurriedly fled, thinking of the attack of his political enemies.

Another shell flew and exploded around them, and several of the guards fell to the ground, wailing and rolling.

Nicholas just felt a heat in his feet, and then a heart-piercing pain, no wailing or hissing, and he fainted at once.

The Hubei army has completely lost its organization, and was chased and killed by the Huaxia army, and the surrounding people hated this group of invaders to death.

Originally, the Hubei army was a regular army after all, if it was the former Qing court period, the weapons and equipment were a few levels ahead of the Qing army, and the ordinary people of China were really not the opponents of the Hubei army, but the problem was that the Hubei army was afraid of being beaten by the Chinese army, and they were always worried about being caught up by the Chinese army.

More than a dozen civilians pursued the Hubei army and passed by the place where Nicholas fainted, and found that Nicholas and a few guards were still a little angry, and immediately rushed forward, with sticks and forks, dung forks and hoes, smashed them into meat sauce, and then patted their buttocks and went to other places to find the Hubei army that could be cut and killed.

Nicholas was in a coma, and he didn't know that the people who had sent him to God were only a dozen barefoot peasants who didn't even have a firecracker, and if they knew, they would surely come back to life and die.

In fact, compared to Gribsky, who was executed by Ling Chi, these two people are so lucky!

The Huaxia Army didn't know where the two giants of the Hubei Army and the Baikal Front Army had gone, and finally Chen Zichao of the Imperial Intelligence Department personally dispatched troops to investigate the matter thoroughly, and only then did he find a little evidence in the clues on the battlefield:

The Chief of Staff of the Baikal Front, Brodaevsky, was killed by a cannon, and the commander, Grand Duke Nicholas, was stabbed to death with a dung fork used to fork cow dung and pig dung!

The news reached Moscow and Europe, but no one would agree to the news: how could a white European aristocrat be killed with farm tools by the lowly yellow peasants of the Far East?

Hundreds of years later, countless European scholars are still using their logic to speculate that the two generals of the Baikal Front died heroically in a way that embodies the dignity of soldiers. (To be continued.) )
