And Petrovsky, the governor of Orenburg, who was still gnawing bones under the city of Huiyuan in Ili, was also having a hard time.

Petrovsky didn't expect that Zarafintai in Huiyuan City could be so steamed and boiled, and what he didn't expect was that the damned God not only didn't pity him who came from afar, but also took care of Zarafintai and others in Huiyuan City, who had no fear of God at all.

Poor Tsarist Russia and the rebel coalition said that they were besieging the city, and they just wanted to stand in the open field for a while longer, and it became a luxury.

But at this moment, the news of the Taiping Red Army's victory in Bulehaqi spread to the outside of Huiyuan City.

It is very interesting that there were two versions of the news that the Taiping Red Army had won the great victory of Bulhaqi.

One is that the heroic Taiping Red Army won more with less, and with less than 3,000 iron cavalry, it won the great results of completely annihilating Tsarist Russia and more than 10,000 rebel coalition troops.

This is the version that Dihua City knows to be clear, and of course it is also a real version.

Petrovsky's version was quite different.

It's no wonder that as long as it is after the relay-like person's mouth is deduced, it usually has to be flooded with a lot of water.

So, what Petrovsky, who is more than a thousand miles away, can only hear, of course, is only this version:

Tens of thousands of elite cavalry of the Taiping Red Army, east of Bulhaqi, surrounded Ignachev's Tsarist Russia and the rebel coalition army in a ditch. Although Ignachev and others fought hard and fought hard, they were lucky to get out of the encirclement, but under the reluctant pursuit of the Taiping Red Army, coupled with the Taiping Red Army frightened by the rebel army, there were some people who fought back and struck a blow, and finally led Ignachev and others to either die under the Taiping Red Army's swords, guns and horses, or were driven off the Bulhaqi River and became the permanent guests of the Bulhaqi River God.

Not only that, but the news also said that the Taiping Red Army, which had just won a great victory in Burhaqi, did not seem to be on its way at all, and they threatened to do everything in their power to kill Ili in the near future and eradicate all the invaders and traitors in one fell swoop.

How many people did the Taiping Red Army come to this westward march? What's so strong about them?

It is now widely rumored that the Taiping Red Army's entry into Xinjiang this time is the main force of the Red Army of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, with at least one million people. In addition to the unstoppable force that captured Hami, Balikun, and Turpan in northern Xinjiang, and besieged Dihua in many ways, they were able to obtain the great victory of Bulhaqi, they also had another strong force of men and horses, which had already entered southern Xinjiang and almost recovered all of Khotan.

The reason why the Taiping Red Army has continuously achieved such brilliant achievements is that the large number of people is only one of the aspects, and what is even more powerful is that the Taiping Red Army also has all kinds of jaw-dropping and extremely terrifying ferocious artifacts.

Naturally, Petrovsky would not believe all of the above folk legends. However, after his own deduction and reasoning, he was already able to determine that the total number of troops of the Taiping Red Army entering Xinjiang this time would definitely not be less than three or five hundred thousand. Of course, he also had to accept the reality that as a Chinese army, the Taiping Red Army today was far from being comparable to the useless things of the "Great Qing Dynasty".

Sitting in the provisional governor's palace in Guangren City, Petrovsky, who was still cold with the red stove, stared at the direction of Huiyuan City to the south, and his heart was full of helpless entanglement.

It seems that Huiyuan City is already difficult to capture, so will he continue to stay here in Yili and wait to compete with the Taiping Red Army, or will he simply take a step back?

As for the question of staying, Petrovsky didn't think it was so reliable. Not to mention that the momentum of the Taiping Red Army is booming, just looking at this idea of oneself is a very weak force, I am afraid that it will be difficult to take advantage of the slightest advantage in the real competition. After all, the current Konstantin? Petrovich? Only part of Kaufman's Omsk reserve corps penetrated deep into Xinjiang, while its main forces were still halfway through.

What if we took a step back?

That is, to concentrate all his Omsk regiments in the Tarbagatai region, and call that Konstantin? Petrovich? Kaufman's Omsk Reserve Corps defended the vested areas south of the Ili River and west of the Tien Shan.

In Petrovsky's mind, this latter path seems to be better to follow. After all, in this case, is it him, or that Konstantin? Petrovich? Kaufman, can have the advantage of fighting with the back of the Tsar. Not only can he continue to fight with the Taiping Red Army, but he can also negotiate with the Taiping Red Army as a last resort, although he cannot win more territory for his Tsar Majesty at the moment, but at least he can still keep the greatest existing interests for his Tsar Majesty.

However, when you think about it, it is still very difficult to actually do it. This is not because the snow is too big, which will increase the difficulty of his withdrawal, but because this guy who is used to taking advantage of the situation still needs to be guided psychologically.

Of course, his Tsar Majesty was too far away from him to bother to give him a psychological counseling for this loyal courtier. Therefore, at the moment, the only thing that can make this Petrovsky's mentality normal is the iron fist of the Red Army of the Celestial Empire.

Just when Petrovsky, who was depressed in Guangren City, had no way to advance and wanted to retreat, but he was very unwilling, two bad news came one after another, and finally he immediately sobered up.

The first thing, after besieging Dihua for more than ten days, although Ma Ma's and other more than 500 heinous bandits were punished with an iron fist under Dihua City, Lin Fengxiang and Zuo Zongtang, who had not seriously attacked Dihua once, seemed to be more interested in besieging Dihua without fighting after Liu Changlin on the Western Front achieved a great victory in Bulhaqi.

On November 9, Lin Fengxiang and Zuo Zongtang once again warned the Hui rebel army in Dihua City, in order to ensure that the main force of the Celestial Empire's Red Army could withdraw from Dihua so that they could devote themselves to the greater and more glorious mission of expelling the Tsarist invaders, they ordered the defenders in the city to surrender Dihua City by November 12, or take the initiative to leave Dihua and surrender to the Celestial Empire Red Army. Otherwise, once the city of Dihua is broken, all the defenders and other soldiers who continue to resist stubbornly, regardless of their official positions, will be severely punished according to the crime of treason.

After giving such a stern warning to the Hui rebel army in Dihua, Lin Fengxiang and Zuo Zongtang actually withdrew Dong Fuxiang and Qi Baoxiang from the Dihua front, and together with Liu Changlin's troops, crossed the Bulhaqi River, took Tokedo, and then went down to the Jinghe River.

Of course, Lin Fengxiang and Zuo Zongtang did not use the more than 10,000 iron cavalry commanded by Liu Changlin to immediately go to fight hard against the Tsarist Russia and the rebel coalition army besieging Huiyuan City, their intentions were obvious, they just wanted to create a momentum, so as to intimidate those enemies who were still under Huiyuan City, and never have that kind of perseverance in Huiyuan City, to help those soldiers and civilians who were still holding on to Huiyuan City to reduce the burden.

Of course, the reason why Lin Fengxiang and Zuo Zongtang had to delay under Dihua City for nearly twenty days was that they also had their own difficulties, that is, they had to wait for a large number of supplies to continue to advance westward for the army.

Sure enough, the huge momentum created by Liu Changlin, Dong Fuxiang, and Qi Baoxiang immediately shocked Petrovsky, and even frightened the rebels in various parts of Ili.

However, when the second bad news reached Ili, Petrovsky, who was already shocked, did not even dare to give himself a chance to think about it again, and left a mess behind him, and fled from Ili in a hurry.

At this time, did Petrovsky really want to go to Tarbagatai, which he once envisioned beautifully, and continue to persevere?
