In the early hours of the morning, that is, around three o'clock in the second half of the night, this time is the most sleepy time for people, and it is also the time when people's energy is the most declining, after several days of war, and it is a series of defeats, the Russian army is really exhausted to the extreme, not only physical exhaustion, but also mental and psychological exhaustion, one by one has been like a defeated quail fighting a defeated chicken, no longer have a little energy, only thinking about whether he can return to the Russian plain alive, whether he can live to see his parents, wife and children, A wave of despair began to envelop the city.

Finally, the Qing army stopped their three consecutive days of fighting, so that the Russian army was finally able to stop and take a breath, and the exhausted Russian troops looked for a place to rest, even if they sat for a while and took a breath, even if Mushavyov repeatedly ordered to strengthen the guard, the city defense of Vladivostok was still unstoppably relaxed.

Even above the city, one by one the Russian troops were on their rifles, or cowered in the corners, and fell asleep.

At this time, the cavalry of the Qing army was slowly approaching the head of Vladivostok, in order to keep quiet and conceal their whereabouts, the Qing army even wrapped the horses' hooves with cloth to slow down the movement of the attack.

It was not until it was less than two hundred meters away from the head of Vladivostok that the cavalry flew on their horses and began to rush towards Vladivostok, and the Qing troops behind them also galloped all the way and quickly approached Vladivostok.

The violent sound of horses' hooves finally woke the Russian army from its dream!

When the Russian army, which woke up from its sleep, found that the Qing army was attacking, the Qing army was already under their noses, all the artillery had lost their effectiveness, and only the rifles that could be used were left!

Only, what if you have a rifle in your hand?

The Qing army was approaching the city, and as soon as the Russian army showed its head, the gunshots rang out, and the Russian army, which was the first to be discovered, fell from the city and died!

For a while, the sound of gunfire was loud, and the sound of battle once again shook the entire Vladivostok!

Even Mushavyov woke up from his dream, rushed to the city, and commanded the battle, but it was too late, the Qing army had already come under their noses and began to launch a direct charge towards Vladivostok!

The Russian army can no longer resist the Qing army in close quarters, and constantly retreats backwards, even if Mushavyov killed more than ten people one after another, it cannot contain the defeated Russian soldiers, under the heavy blow of the Qing army, at this time, the unprepared Russian army will definitely not be able to support the onslaught of the Qing army.

Hundreds of Russian troops retreated all the way to the Governor's Palace in Vladivostok, and Mushavyov tried to use the fortifications of the Governor's Palace to resist stubbornly and continue to fight against the Qing army, but was stopped by Tymoshenko.

"Your Excellency the Governor, now Vladivostok must not be able to hold it, we must retreat immediately, retreat immediately, and retreat to Bakharovsk, so that it is possible to make a comeback and defeat the Qing army, now it is not possible, let's stay here, there is only a dead end, and the city will die!"

Tymoshenko shouted eagerly.

Mushavyov kicked Tymoshenko to the side with one kick, didn't Lao Tzu know that he lost? But this Vladivostok must not be lost, if even Vladivostok is lost, he will face severe sanctions from Tsar Alexander II! At best, he will be exiled to the bitter cold land of the far north forever, or he will be directly executed, and his wife and children will be directly turned into slaves, this kind of risk he does not dare to take!

Tymoshenko said urgently: "Your Excellency the Governor, now is not the time to consider what the consequences are, let's run out of Vladivostok, we can also gather a large army and fight back, once we die here, then there will be nothing, can you die with the city, and His Majesty the Tsar will be able to bypass us?" ”

Mushavyov's heart was shocked, what Tymoshenko said made sense, at least from the Far East to Moscow, thousands of miles away, no, more than 10,000 miles, the transmission of information is very inconvenient, as long as he can find an opportunity to regain Vladivostok before His Majesty disposes of himself, maybe, there is still a slight chance, really die here, then everything is over!

Mushavyov hesitated for a moment, gritted his teeth and said: "Okay, immediately gather our personal soldiers, find a ship, and let's flee directly to Bakharovsk from the sea!" ”

Tymoshenko hurriedly called a team of personal soldiers, protected Mushavyov and fled in the direction of the harbor, as for the rest of the Russian army, they didn't care about it at all, and if they were too late, they wouldn't be able to leave!

Fortunately, the Qing army wanted to completely take Vladivostok, which could not be done in a moment and a half, and it was not so easy to completely wipe out the Russian forces in Vladivostok, which finally gave Mushavyov a glimmer of hope, and dozens of people ran all the way to the side of the harbor, called over a merchant ship, and sailed towards the open sea!

At this time, the sky above the sea had already brightened, and Mushavyov was lucky to escape the encirclement and suppression of the Qing army in the city, but, unfortunately, he forgot that on the hill not far away, there was still the artillery of the Qing army!

Chen Hai is still guarding here, and he heard a report from his soldiers that a merchant ship has just carried dozens of Russian troops, preparing to stay away from Vladivostok!

Chen Hai immediately understood, it must be Mushavyov, this guy is definitely going to run away!

"Order, all the artillery on the mountain, give me to lock the merchant ships immediately, fire them with all my might, and be sure to prevent them from escaping from the Vladivostok Sea!"

Chen Hai exclaimed eagerly.

In an instant, everyone understood, and all the artillery began to aim at the merchant ship.

Boom Boom!

A series of cannons rang out, and more than a dozen shells burst out of the barrels almost at the same time, heading straight for the merchant ship, and in an instant, several shells fell on the merchant ship, and the merchant ship was not much bigger, under the explosion of the shells, it instantly became fragmented and began to sink into the sea!

Chen Hai saw it clearly, and shouted: "Immediately go around the military port, find a ship, and arrest all the Russian troops back for me, ******, we must capture Mushavyov alive, this is the first achievement!" ”

At this time, Mushavyov was almost stupid, he was too unlucky, he just escaped by boat, and he could still be shelled by the Qing army! And not one or two shells, but a dozen shells! How can such a small broken ship withstand heavy artillery bombardment?

It's completely finished, the merchant ship is almost broken from it, and a large amount of sea water pours in, and I am afraid that it will not be long before it capsizes!

"Come on, release the lifeboat immediately, release the lifeboat!"

Mushavyov roared wildly, the Russian troops looked for life-saving equipment, two lifeboats were thrown into the sea, Mushavyov and Tymoshenko hurriedly jumped into the lifeboats, but such a small lifeboat, can only rely on a raft to advance, want to escape to Bakharovsk, it is no different from a dream!

Mushavyov had no way to live at all, and in just an hour, he was captured alive by the Qing army who caught up!
