Chapter 314 This good news is not to say that it made the soldiers and civilians of Zarafintai and Huiyuan City feel bright, at least they also saw a glimmer of light

For the attack on Huiyuan City, Petrovsky did his best. (net update fastest8)

At this time, Tarbagatai had already fallen into his pocket, and the only outstretched tentacle that Huiyuan still had, Taleqi City, although it had not been able to be taken by his army for the time being, was also firmly cut off by him. Huiyuan has become a veritable lonely city.

In order to take the isolated city of Huiyuan as soon as possible, Petrovsky not only pulled the main force of his nearly 20,000 Omsk regiments under the city of Huiyuan, but also unceremoniously ordered the "sultans" such as Mazimuzat and Shokaet to fight bravely in the battle against Huiyuan City, in addition to doing a good job in the logistical support of the tsarist army.

In this way, the total number of insurrectionary troops led by the Tsarist Russian army and the so-called "sultans" such as Maizimuzat and Xiaokait, who surrounded Huiyuan City, has far exceeded 50,000.

In Huiyuan City, it is tragic and abnormal.

The soldiers and civilians of the Manchu, Han, Hui, Uyghur and other ethnic groups, including Zarafentai, who totaled less than 50,000, almost all held a belief in the death that they would live and die with Huiyuan City. For all those who dare to stay here now know very well that not only do they not have the sophisticated weapons of those vicious enemies outside the city, but they have not and cannot get strong foreign help, and there is only one way before them:

As long as there is one person and one breath, then the enemies outside the city cannot be allowed to enter Huiyuan City for half a step

For the Manchu officials of the Qing Dynasty such as Zarafintai, today's Huiyuan City is not only their familiar Huiyuan, but also the Huiyuan that they feel very unfamiliar with.

The reason why it is "familiar" is because the city is still this city, the four streets that cross the east, west, north and south have not changed, and the four city gates of steel and iron are still the same as in the past, and as for the busy people in the city, they are still those old faces.

And the reason why they feel "strange" is because although the old faces of the soldiers and civilians in the city are still the same, people's hearts have changed. In the people in the city now, there is a lack of the kind of fighting in the past, whether it is open or secret, forgetting the so-called dignity and humility, and forgetting the various estrangements that have existed due to different beliefs, and what remains is only an unprecedented unity that has never existed.

As soon as the evil cannons of the invaders outside the city were fired, there was no need for any government officials to beat gongs and shout all over the streets as in the past, and the doors of every house would be opened in an instant, and almost all of them, men and women, old and young, as long as they could run, poured out of their homes, and then gathered into different streams of people on the streets, flowing in their respective directions, and finally, they became the solid backing of the soldiers who fought bloodily in the city.

The hot water and meals needed by the soldiers were provided, and the ammunition and equipment urgently needed to defend the city were delivered......

The wounded soldiers were not only immediately rushed to be lifted down, but when they arrived at the rescue site, there were women who were like mothers and sisters, and while healing their physical wounds, they also brought them great comfort in their hearts......

Zarafintai and the others finally understood that the qiē that was happening in front of them was precisely the source of their strength. Even if I can't clean up you Petrovsky, I can also let you Petrovsky and other bastards shed a layer of skin under our Huiyuan City

Therefore, although the defense of Huiyuan City was extremely difficult and tragic, the soldiers and civilians of Huiyuan City became more and more tenacious and determined the more they fought. The blood shed by the companions has fully stimulated the inner potential of countless Huiyuan soldiers and civilians.

On August 5, 1857, the 10th day of the defense of Huiyuan, although the sharp offensive of the Tsarist army was still the same, although the walls of Huiyuan City were already incomplete in many places, Petrovsky could only look at this lonely Huiyuan City that seemed to be within reach, stomping his feet and scolding, and smoking.

"You must take Huiyuan City for me within three days"

Petrovsky not only pointed at his siege commander, Colonel Velevkin, and roared loudly, but also grabbed the hearts of the two "sultans" with his own hands, Mezimuzat and Shoket, and impartially rewarded the two "Sultans" who "only knew how to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight and refused to work hard", each of them with two loud big-eared melon seeds.

The ten days of the defense of Huiyuan City seemed to have survived a long ten years for Zarafintai. And "this long ten years" seems to have exhausted all his efforts and energy, so that Zaraphenthai already feels that his days are numbered.

When there was a moment of quiet in the tense battle, looking at his wife, who had disregarded his noble status and was like him, the Ili general, commanding the maids and servants around him to go in and out, and tirelessly fighting for the city walls, and thinking of the other old and weak families in his general's palace, a kind of desolate pathos would always arise in the depths of Zarafintai's heart.

It won't be long before Huiyuan City may fall. When that day came, as General Ili, he obviously had no second way to go, because the Mingxu of Tarbagatai had already shown him the path he should take. But...... But after all, Mingxu is not dragged down by his family, and he is trapped in the lonely city of Huiyuan, but he still has a large family of old and young

Whenever he thought of this extremely difficult question, Zarafintai couldn't help but sigh, and then secretly asked himself in his heart, "Was my decision too rash?" Is it really worth it to do it yourself? ”

Just when the soldiers and civilians in Huiyuan City thought that they would surely die with the precious city under their feet, and when Zarafintai felt sad and desolate about his dark future, I don't know which "good Samaritan" sent a shocking good news into the city from outside the city. This good news not only made the soldiers and civilians of Zalafentai and Huiyuan City feel bright, but at least they saw a glimmer of light.

“…… In order to restore the great rivers and mountains of China, and after thoroughly cleaning up the remnants of the rebellion in Gansu, the brave officers and men of the Red Army of the Workers' and Peasants' Red Army of our Celestial Dynasty shouldered the heavy trust of the people and began to march into Xinjiang in great strides......"

In the lobby of General Ili's palace in Zarafintai, more than a dozen heads, including Zarafintai, were crowded together, staring at more than a dozen pairs of eyes that were extremely excited, lest they miss even a single word, and repeatedly read the "letter to the people of all ethnic groups in Xinjiang" stamped with the big red customs defense of Lin Fengxiang, commander-in-chief of the Red First Army, and Zuo Zhongtang, chief of the general staff.

"Damn, we finally didn't do it in vain with those bastards, we are finally saved"

When Zarafintai finished speaking, his whole body seemed to collapse, and he leaned limply on his tiger skin general's chair, and his eyes were filled with an irrepressible dampness.
