"What? The Qing army besieged Aichun, the Russian army was defeated, and all of them were pushed into Aichun to defend? ”

When Mushavyov heard the news, his face was full of shock and incredulity! Basha is his favorite general, that 1,000 troops, but also the elite division of the Russian army, even if the Qing army has 2,000 people, it is absolutely impossible to beat Basha without fighting back, not to mention that they still have a team of Cossack cavalry!

After a whole day and two nights of desperate running, the current Kursk has completely lost its original figure, covered in dust, chapped lips, and replied with difficulty: "General, it is true, the combat power of the Qing army is too strong, more than many times stronger than the army under that Yishan!" And all equipped with Western firearms that took the lead in the world, we were caught off guard, suffered heavy casualties, and had no strength to fight again, so we asked the general to urgently send troops to help! ”

"Waste, waste!"

Mushavyov roared, "You don't dare to fight against them without knowing the details? A bunch of rice buckets! Much stronger than Yishan's army? How is it possible, in the entire three eastern provinces, the most powerful force is Yishan's green battalion, his green battalion is not good, and that army is even stronger? Don't tell me, which Zeng Guofan's troops, he is suppressing bandits in the south, and he doesn't have the energy to take care of the far northeast, even if he can, from the south to the northeast, no less than five or six thousand miles, are they flying over? ”

"General, in the Gyeonggi area, there is still a strong army, that monk Lingqin's army is also very strong, will it be ......?"

Sergei, the chief of staff on the side, said in a low voice.

Mushavyov was shocked, and he recalled in his mind the general who was young, but full of determination, and beat the British and French fleets to the ground - Guo Ye! That's a thorn in the head!

Immediately, Mushavyov said in a deep voice: "Impossible, even if you come from the capital, it will take at least a month and a half, this is still an all-out march, after arriving in the northeast, it will take at least a period of rest to recover your combat strength, where can you be so strong?" ”

Kursk snorted: "General, our intelligence feedback shows that these people don't seem to have come from Guannai, but from North Korea......"

North Korea?

Could it be that the Qing government invited reinforcements from Korea? It's even more unlikely, the army of the DPRK is softer than noodles, and even the army of Yishan can't catch up! Could it be reinforcements from the sea? Mushavyov was shocked when he thought of this. If it was really mobilized from Kannai and arrived in the northeast by sea, it was very possible, but it was really not to be underestimated that they were able to slow down the intelligence so closely, and Basha seemed to be really dangerous this time!

"Order the 53rd Regiment to rush to the aid of Aichun! Be quick, be quick, and rush to Aichun within two days! ”

From Vladivostok to Aichun, but there is still a distance of more than 100 kilometers, two days, even if you don't sleep, there are some difficulties, but now Mushavyov can't take care of it, Aichun must not be lost! It is the first gate for the Russian army to defend against the Qing army, and once it is realized, the hundreds of thousands of square kilometers of land behind it will be empty, and Vladivostok will have no barrier!

The commander of the 53rd Regiment, Komyshvich, said hurriedly: "General, from Vladivostok to Aichun, there are at least three hundred miles, we will rush over in two days, and the entire army will be tired and down, how can we fight?" ”

Mushavyov's eyes were red and he shouted: "Bastard! Now that Basha has been defeated, Aichun is in danger, we must not lose Aichun, once it is lost, Vladivostok will face a huge threat, don't you know? Marching with all your might, you must arrive in Aichun in the shortest possible time, the Qing army has just experienced a big battle, and the physical exertion is serious, and you will not be able to grab it when the time comes! ”

Komyshevich had no choice but to take the order and hurry down to gather troops.

Sergei, the chief of staff on the side, reminded: "General, if all of our 53rd regiment is transferred, then Vladivostok will be empty, we only have more than 2,000 people in total, and if we transfer a regiment, there will be no surplus of five or six hundred people, once we encounter an attack, ......"

Mushavyov snorted coldly and replied: "What are you afraid of, there are dozens of artillery pieces in our city of Vladivostok, even if it is bombarded, it can contain the enemy under Vladivostok, as long as the Qing army in Aichun City is eliminated, it will be a complete victory!" ”

Hilgei was still a little uneasy, and replied: "General, I mean, it is still necessary to mobilize troops from other places to strengthen the defense of Vladivostok, which is related to the entire Far East strategy of our empire, and is the best base for the future Pacific Fleet, and there is no ......room for failure."

Mushavyov nodded, Sergei was right, Vladivostok was too important for the empire, for the sake of status, it could even be compared with St. Petersburg, one in the Atlantic Ocean and one in the Pacific Ocean, Russia's only two outlets to the sea!

"Order the forces of other nearby cities to gather towards Vladivostok, the real battle has finally arrived, I think, the leader of this army in front of me may be my old acquaintance!"

Mushavyov replied in a deep voice.

Sergei was stunned for a moment and asked: "General, the leading general of the other party, do you know?" ”

"It is very likely that there are not many generals who can be used by the Qing government now, most of them are concentrated in the south and north, there is only one monk king, a Guo Ye who has just become famous, Monk Greenqin defends Gyeonggi, and the heavy responsibility is on his shoulders, it is impossible to leave Tianjin, if it is really a rescue from the capital, then there is only that Guo Ye, hum, in the negotiation, it is it that rejected the negotiation request of our empire and drove me out of Beijing City, this guy is not very old, but it is extremely difficult, this time we may really meet an opponentAt the beginning, he once said that as long as the Tsarist Empire attacked the Qing Kingdom, he would lead his troops north and drive us out again! ”

Guo Ye?

Sergei's heart was cold, although he didn't know what this guy was doing, but just looking at him crisscrossing and scheming, befriending the United States, appeasing Britain and France, and then concentrating all his efforts on dealing with Tsarist Russia and driving the general out of the capital, the methods are old and spicy, and they are by no means mediocre!

Mushavyov continued: "Sergey, this time Komyshevich galloped to the aid of Aichun, I don't feel at ease, you will personally lead the troops, be careful, I have some uneasy feelings in my heart, don't overturn the boat in the gutter, in that case, we will be passive!" ”

Sergei hurriedly agreed.

A regiment of 15,600 Russian troops launched a breakthrough towards Aichun, two days and two nights, running 300 miles, even if the Russian army's physical strength is amazing, it is difficult to do it, so it can only gallop with all its might.

It's just that Mushavyov's feeling is not wrong at all, the Russian army is about to suffer another blow from the Qing army!
