When Zuo Zongtang led his elite soldiers from the seven towns of Beiyang to pounce on Changzhou day and night, Xu Guangyuan, who had lost his troops, was gathering his remnants of the defeated generals, preparing to feint or harass on the east and west sides that seemed to be weakly defended, the purpose was not to let the groundhogs of the Chinese Imperial Fuhrer's Division continue to dig calmly!

Zeng Guofan, who had already led the eighth and ninth towns straight to Wucheng Temple, was most worried at the moment whether the Jiangyin defenders, who had been strengthened many times behind him, would take the initiative to attack? What if the Jiangyin defenders saw through their Li Dai Taostiff and defeated those rabble people who followed?

In the Russians who have fallen into madness in Shanghai, Zeng Guofan's attitude is to let them fend for themselves, Villedov Seki has been a gesture of indifference to Zeng Guofan before this, Veredov Sisky's attitude makes Zeng Guofan very annoyed, but if you really deal with Veredov Sisky, Zeng Guofan knows, I'm afraid that even those positions in the court may not be able to stand on his side.

The imperial court wants to drive the tiger to devour the wolf, the tiger is the Russian, and the wolf is Lin Haijiang, but now it seems that the Russian tiger is a little thinner, and Lin Haijiang's hungry wolf is indeed fierce, Zeng Guofan does not want to destroy the good situation in front of him, he has always carefully designed a slow arrangement, in order to let the Russians and Lin Haijiang have a bloody fight, but unexpectedly Lin Haijiang has a surprisingly good appetite, and he actually calculated his own three towns in Beiyang, and Zeng Guofan was not afraid of the closing of the Wucheng Temple.

When the two towns led by Zeng Guofan arrived at Wucheng Temple, they learned that Zuo Zongtang's headquarters was only a day's journey from Changzhou! Behind them, the four-way army of the Chinese Empire, which had gathered momentum from Hangzhou, rushed towards Shanghai like a storm and clouds, and had the posture of sweeping everything.

The headquarters of the Third Army Corps of the Chinese Empire, the headquarters of the Fifth Army Corps, the headquarters of the Second Army Corps of the Mountain Infantry, and the corps directly under the General Headquarters were like four sharp swords inserted into the main forces of the Russian army gathered on the outskirts of Shanghai by Veredovsky.

For the Russian army, which has been attacking for more than a dozen days and has lost nearly 40,000 people, Veredovsky has hesitated to retreat before, but the heavy casualties and the seemingly weak and crumbling defense of Shanghai make him unable to completely give up! Fill up with a handful of oil! It will definitely be able to capture Shanghai, and the large amount of materials hoarded by the Chinese Empire in Shanghai will be enough to support its army to restore its combat effectiveness!

This is the first time that Veredovsky has comforted himself that Shanghai is still in the hands of the defenders of the Chinese Empire, and every attack of the Russian army has failed.

When the news that a regiment of the Russian army in Dagang Village was completely annihilated reached the ears of Veldovsky, Veredovssky stood in front of the map and involuntarily fought a cold war! The army of the Chinese Empire has already attacked Dagang Village?

Since the map used by the Russian army was provided by the Qing court, the map provided by the Qing court inherited all its unique shortcomings, such as terrain, terrain errors, place name errors, simple and shoddy production, and so on! And the Russians are also accustomed to the rough branches of the surname, and their staff system is basically a decoration for the ears of the deaf under the words of Veredovsky, and until now when they are used, they know how many people will be killed by a map full of errors!

The original military map should be very rigorous, and the military map is the most reliable data that reflects the actual terrain, and is the commander's reliance and basis in the actual combat command, but in order to play the role of the map, it is necessary to have a certain ability to read the map.

Under Lin Haijiang's suggestion, the various operational maps distributed by the Imperial Chinese Army were based on the different purposes and requirements of the maps, and the scale of the maps was also divided into sizes. The larger the scale, the smaller the field area contained in the map, the more detailed the terrain is displayed, and the higher the accuracy. Therefore, large-scale maps are more suitable for junior commanders, while small-scale maps are suitable for intermediate and senior commanders.

And if the map used by Villedovsky is placed in the Chinese Empire, it is equivalent to the one used by Lin Haijiang in formulating the strategic plan, commanding regimental and division-level troops to fight on a globe? There is no doubt that the Russians have created another miracle in the history of world military command, but this miracle is quite bitter for the Russians.

Villedovsky is leading nearly 100,000 people of the main force of the Russian army to Changshu at this moment, and the troops placed on the periphery Vetovsky have not informed them of their retreat, and Viredovsky is particularly ferocious in terms of the strong man's broken wrist, and Willovsky is abandoned not only by nearly 20,000 alert troops distributed on the periphery, but also by more than 16,000 wounded soldiers in more than 10 temporary settlements for wounded soldiers.

More than a dozen wagons were loaded with Vedovsky's personal finances, and the Cossacks of a division commanded by Mievich were ordered to follow the command, and Mievich knew very well that any fear of his own was not fighting, but protecting the private property of His Excellency Vetevsky and the women from being violated.

In the ranks of the Russian army, due to the sudden retreat order, and the discarding of tents, artillery, supplies and other materials, rumors spread among the Russian army, and the officers and soldiers speculated about what kind of great changes had occurred? Could it be that the enemies of the Chinese Empire have come to fight?

Veledovsky sat in the carriage with a dull face, if it weren't for his personal gains, Villedovsky would really have a feeling of vomiting blood, this way he first scolded the Qing team for being incompetent, and scolded Zeng Guofan for being untrustworthy and unrighteous, 200,000 troops conquered Tianjing and did not hurt their vitality, the Battle of Changshu and the Battle of Shanghai, after 20 days of fierce battles, his troops were lost by two-fifths, and the most painful thing for Villedovsky was the loss of the Cossack cavalry, The brave Cossack cavalry, despite repeatedly breaking through enemy lines, was always slow to get the cooperation of friendly infantry.

After the cavalry breakthrough, the infantry that followed will be blocked by the opponent's machine gun crossfire, and then the defenders of the Chinese Empire calmly wiped out the Cossack cavalry units that broke through, the Cossack cavalry fought bravely, but its losses were second only to the artillery, the Cossack cavalry lost more than half of the troops, and the only Cossack cavalry division commanded by Miyevich did not appear to have formed losses because it had been guerrilla on the periphery, but compared with the unlucky Cossack cavalry, the Russian artillery could only be described as miserable.

The latest test of the 105 mm howitzer of the Chinese Empire gave the Russian artillery group the heaviest blow in the history of the Russian artillery group, and what was even more tragic was that Vyledovsky ignored the protests of the artillery units and deliberately ordered the artillery to advance low for fire support, and as a result, the Russian artillery happened to enter the range of the 75 mm field guns of the Chinese Imperial Artillery.

It can be said that until now, Villedovsky did not believe that the Chinese Empire had secretly hidden more than 200,000 troops in Hangzhou, ready to go? If that's really the case, and you can't get effective information, then where is the Qing side? Will Zeng Guofan also fail to get timely and effective information? Veledovsky closed his eyes slightly, though he didn't believe the tragedy that had happened in Dagang Village, a village that couldn't be found on the map.

Several surviving cavalrymen told him in horror that in ten minutes, only ten minutes, the artillery fire was followed by a flood of infantry and a tsunami-like attack, and the army of the Chinese Empire moved as if the whole mountain was moving!

Although Veldovsky didn't believe it, he didn't have the courage to confirm it, otherwise he would not be able to retreat to Changshu with almost all his troops immediately, because Changshu was the only way he needed to ensure in the eyes of Veldovsky, in Veredovsky's view, as long as Changshu was kept, the troops on the periphery of Shanghai could still easily retreat, at least that's what Veletovsky thought.

However, at this moment, what Villedovsky hates the most is Zeng Guofan, as a friendly Qing New Army, the Beiyang New Army fled without a trace? Fighting the rebels on the land of the Qing country, the Russian army as an international ally is even more active than the Qing army fighting on the mainland, this cannot but be said to be a matter that makes the Qing court a little embarrassed, but anyone with a discerning eye can see that Zeng Guofan is trying to make the Russians fight to the death with the Lin rebel bandit army, and the wisdom that has been passed down for thousands of years taught by the degenerated Confucian doctrine that most likes to play with internal friction and play with the heart and eye of the Chinese officialdom must not be underestimated!

The Russians naturally do not understand the knowledge of the Chinese as officials, and it is no wonder that others are put in their pockets.

It is a pity that Villedovsky still does not know that outside the city of Changzhou, which is more than 100 miles away from Changshu, the three towns of the Beiyang New Army commanded by Zeng Guofan and the seven towns of the Beiyang New Army commanded by Zuo Zongtang are fighting a bloody battle around a small place that cannot be found on the map.

As a series of shells fell and exploded, and the soil that was blown up fell like raindrops, Fang Guohua took out the soil in his mouth and looked at the artillery position of the Beiyang New Army full of gunpowder with a telescope, but his mortar could not reach the artillery position of the Beiyang New Army!

After the artillery bombardment ended, Fang Guohua looked at the Beiyang New Army surging like a tide from the trench at the foot of the mountain less than 50 meters, howling and rushing to his own position, with the recovery of various firepower points, the Beiyang New Army fell to the ground in rows like cutting wheat under the strafing of the Imperial II general-purpose machine gun and the mortar fire blockade, and the formation of the attack was sometimes neat and sometimes chaotic!

When the Beiyang New Army approached a distance of about ten meters, the defenders threw several rounds of grenades in succession, and in the smoke of the explosion, the Beiyang New Army's attack in the south retreated.
