Muravyov was desperate. He was already in his fifties, and he couldn't afford such a toss, and he originally thought of retiring in the next two years, but he didn't expect to encounter such a war, and it ended in such a complete defeat.

Think about it, it has only been less than ten years, and this eastern country has risen to become so powerful! At first, with 2,500 Cossack soldiers, he occupied nearly hundreds of thousands of square kilometers of land in the so-called lower reaches of the Heilongjiang River, and began to settle some Cossacks here. At that time, it was still the Manchu Dynasty, just protesting, and did not dare to send troops to fight at all, even if some Qing generals wanted to fight, thousands of people came and were defeated by hundreds of Cossack soldiers, but now, it is really different, the same Cossack soldiers, in the face of this eastern army, it seems to be the other way around, just like the original Qing soldiers faced the Cossacks, they were defeated.

But now, Muravyov could only grit his teeth and take the lead in riding into the water of the Ob River, only to hear a few shells and bullets whistling from behind, but Muravyov had to hold his teeth and floated up with his horse and waded across the river. Seeing that more than half of the river had passed, and when he was about to go ashore, a row of black shadows suddenly appeared on the opposite side, and about two or three thousand Mongolian cavalrymen of the Chinese Empire wearing light gray uniforms appeared in front of him, waving his right hand and brandishing a scimitar, holding a revolver on the left and right, rushing over, with the "bang", the revolvers opened fire one after another, and after the smoke cleared, hundreds of Cossack cavalry fell, and the scimitars were raised high, and they had rushed over.

Muravyov felt a sharp pain in his chest, and a huge force caused him to fall from the saddle, and he almost fainted in front of him, but the stimulus of falling into the icy river immediately brought him to his senses, but then a large gulp of water poured into his throat.

Although Muravyov could swim, he had no strength at all, and the shouts of killing around him became a silent embellishment in his ears, and no one paid attention to him, because at this time, all the Cossack cavalry were running for their lives. Muravyov didn't even have time to lament that his fate ended like this, so he sank to the bottom of the river, was swept away by the undercurrent, and disappeared from nowhere.

........

At the same time, the same scene occurred in many places in Siberia.

On the shore of Lake Baikal, nearly 10,000 Cossack cavalry began to wreak havoc, looting several settlement points of thousands of people there, and just as they continued to prepare to loot another immigration station of more than 30,000 people, suddenly two groups of field cavalry wearing light gray Chinese imperial uniforms appeared, blocking the front and back roads of the 10,000 Cossack cavalry.

One of the cavalry was Mongol, and the other was a mixture of Daur, Evenki, and Xibe cavalry, each with thousands of cavalry, all led by Han officers, who launched a fierce attack on the Cossack cavalry.

The two sides opened fierce fire, and in the end the Cossack cavalry was defeated and fled with more than half of them killed and wounded.

.......

In the middle reaches of the Inishe River, a village called Mujiazhuang, which was originally a village for Russian immigrants, has long since been driven out by Russians, and is inhabited by more than 5,000 Han Chinese who moved from Gansu, Shaanxi and other places. The fertile Ineshe River valley gave the 5,000-odd migrants a taste of sweetness, and this year saw a bumper grain harvest, when a group of more than 3,000 Cossack soldiers took a boat and went upriver from the lower reaches of the river to land on the bank of the river near Mujiazhuang. Then, they launched an attack on the village.

Fortunately, soon after the village moved to the village, a militia team was organized, and the general in a garrison fortress dozens of kilometers away also issued some smoothbore muskets, gunpowder, and earthen cannons that had been eliminated from their troops to the village, so that the militia team in Mujiazhuang could use it for defense.

Although Mujiazhuang is called a village, it was originally expanded on the basis of the fortress built by Russian immigrants, and after the people of Mujiazhuang were stationed, because they were all people of the same clan surnamed Mu, the village was completely built into a large fortress for defense. Therefore, the militia of Mujiazhuang took up smoothbore guns, lit earthen cannons, and relied on the fortress to fight these 3,000 Cossack soldiers.

Because the number of Cossack troops was not too many, after a day and a night of attack, they were unable to conquer Mujiazhuang, and at this time, the Chinese Imperial Army in the nearby fortress received a distress call and rushed to attack the Cossack troops, and the Cossack army was defeated and annihilated.

........

At the mouth of the Aral Sea in the Kazakh Khanate, the mouth of the Syr Darya River that flows into the Aral Sea, a fierce battle was fought between the Chinese Empire and the Russian army.

Garrisoned at the mouth of the Aral Sea was the 2nd Infantry Division of the Fourth Field Corps of the Chinese Empire, and after hearing the news that the Russian army was attacking from the west bank of the Aral Sea along the Aral Coast to the east bank, he knew that the enemy's aim was to seize the mouth of the Syr Darya River on the east bank of the Aral Sea.

When he heard that the enemy was searching for ships around the Aral Sea, marching with more than 30,000 troops, and that the leader of the army was the governor of Siberia, Alexander Dugameli, he knew that this was the main force of Tsarist Russia. At the same time, he made special arrangements to strengthen the fortress at the mouth of the river, and at the same time ordered three warships of the Chinese Empire cruising around in the Aral Sea to rush to the north bank of the Aral Sea to reconnoiter the enemy's situation and bombard the enemy at the same time.

At the same time, he also sent a letter of request for help to East, the leader of the Shekert tribe, one of the Kazakh tribes that rebelled against Tsarist Russia and annexed to the Chinese Empire some time ago, asking the Shekert tribe on the west bank of the Aral Sea to send troops to attack the rear supply routes of the Tsarist Russian army.

Soon after, the Russian governor of Siberia, Alexander Dugameli, led 30,000 Russian troops to the mouth of the river and launched an attack on the fortresses of the Chinese Empire. Shi Xiangzhen led more than 10,000 people of the 2nd Infantry Division to hold the fortress, and under the fierce attack of the Russian army, although it was shaky, it still resisted strongly.

A few days later, harassment by the Shekt tribe worked, and the Russian army was short of logistical supplies and shells. At this time, the three warships of the Chinese Empire in the Aral Sea also played a role, using naval guns to bombard the Russian camp on the shore. The Russian army could not fight single-mindedly, and it could not conquer the fortress at the mouth of the river, so it had the idea of going.

Just as the Russian army was preparing to withdraw, reinforcements from Kokand arrived, and the already exhausted Russian army was defeated, losing more than 10,000 of its 30,000 soldiers, and even the governor of Siberia, Alexander Dugameli, was killed. The remaining less than 20,000 Russian troops fled in panic, and along the way, the cavalry division of the Fourth Field Corps of the Chinese Empire pursued fiercely, and the Russian army suffered heavy losses and thousands of casualties before escaping across the Ula River and fleeing back to Orenburg.
