ps: Thank you for the reward of Qianyan Sword Immortal, thank you for your support. Weakly say that tomorrow is Satan's birthday, all kinds of begging.

"What do you say, the reinforcements rushed to Kulen by Uriya Sutai have been defeated by the Chinese army and have surrendered? How could it be, didn't I reroute them? Grand Duke Nikolai asked incredulously.

The communications soldier trembled and handed over several telegrams, some from the Second Army of the Russian Army, and more from the Russian army in Kulen.

"Grand Duke, the telegram just sent by the Second Army says that they are ready to fight with Coulomb's Imperial Army on the Chinese Empire's army inside and out, but it was discovered by the Chinese army, and after most of the day's fighting and no reinforcements from Kulen, the Second Army has surrendered." The communications soldier said with his head down.

Without saying a word, Grand Duke Nikolai took the telegrams and read them quickly, and after reading them, he threw them away angrily, and a pile of pieces of paper flew in the air.

"Waste, damn how dare you disobey military orders, I'm going to take them all to court-martial. They have messed up all my setups, and if Cullen loses, how can I see my majesty. Nikolai roared.

Previously, he ordered Uriya Sutai's Second Army to support Kulun, and deliberately asked them to make a detour to prevent being intercepted by the Chinese army, and then directly entered Kulen to help Kulun's army resist the Chinese army and wait for reinforcements to arrive.

Unexpectedly, things were still beyond his expectations, depending on the situation, Kulun estimated that it would be difficult to protect, so it was better to let them withdraw from Kulen with the princes and ministers of Outer Mongolia according to what Major General Sachs said.

Now the Empire's reinforcements have not yet arrived in the Outer Mongolia region, and the news of the increase in troops has already come from the Chinese Empire, which is very unfavorable to them.

Just when Grand Duke Nikolai was thinking about what would happen to the Chinese Empire's army next, another communication soldier ran in in a panic.

"Report to the Grand Duke, please see the urgent telegram from Cullen."

Grand Duke Nikolai took the telegram and read it, and then his face turned blue directly, because the airship troops of the Chinese Empire actually appeared in the sky above Kulen and were still in the middle of the war. Now Kulen has been surrounded by the Chinese army, and Kulen's Russian army has not had time to retreat.

If Kulun is lost, he can accept it, and when the imperial reinforcements come, he can seize it back, but if the core figures of Outer Mongolia are captured by the Chinese Empire, it will not be good, and the Outer Mongolians who are afraid of death will definitely directly announce the cancellation of independence.

In this way, the identity of the empire in Outer Mongolia will become very passive, and it is very likely that those imperial warriors who die in battle will die in vain, which is unacceptable to him.

"Send another telegram to Major General Sachs of Kulun, asking them to withdraw the emperor and others from Outer Mongolia from Kulen no matter what, and they must not fall into the hands of the Chinese Empire.

Go and send a telegram to the 3rd and 4th armies of Wulianghai who have rushed to Kulun, confirm their current location, and then come and tell me at once. Grand Duke Nikolai said, staring at the map on the table.

"Yes!"

The communications corps hurried to the telegraph room to give orders, leaving Nikolai alone to sit weakly in his seat.

He knew that this was a difficult war, and within a few days they had lost almost half of their troops, and the Far East was probably the place where he was buried.

The Huaxia Empire has the addition of the airship force and the army that is not its own can resist, not only this but also the powerful demon - the tank, the Huaxia Empire can't imagine that it has become so strong.

After thinking about it for a while, Grand Duke Nicholas took up his pen and wrote a report, which was to be reported to his nephew Nicholas II, which not only showed the recent situation of the war, but also proposed his own proposal, urging reinforcements to arrive quickly, and to bring the imperial airship troops to the Far East.

In fact, in the opinion of Grand Duke Nicholas, it is unwise to meddle in the affairs of the Far East now, because Russia is expanding too fast, and there is simply not so much energy to manage these places. Moreover, the contradictions in the country are becoming more and more severe, and it is very likely that the previous riots will break out again, and the horses of the imperial carriage are already overwhelmed, and some things must be abandoned.

However, the current battlefield in Outer Mongolia is a protracted war, and if it continues like this, whether the Chinese Empire can afford it or not, the regression of the empire's strength is predictable, and he will end this war as much as possible.

Grand Duke Nicholas also persuaded the tsar to give up Outer Mongolia and withdraw from this war in the telegram, depending on the situation, the Chinese Empire has made up its mind to recover Outer Mongolia, otherwise you let the Chinese emperor who has just become the emperor have a lot of face, and they have long figured out the fact that the Chinese people love face.

"Report to the Grand Duke, the Third and Fourth Armies have arrived in the Mulun area, and they are now resting in Mulun." The communications corps soon learned the location of the Third and Fourth Armies by telegram.

Grand Duke Nikolai immediately picked up the map and looked at the distance from Mulun to Kulun, then sighed heavily and said: "Alas, the third and fourth armies are too late to come to the aid of Kulun, what does Kulun say, can they break out of the encirclement of the Chinese army?" ”

"The Kulen side has not sent a telegram yet, but the Ministry of Intelligence has sent an important telegram to the Japanese side, the Japanese movement in Korea is very large, they are stationing troops in Korea in large quantities, and the imperial side should pay attention to the movements of the Japanese." Said the communications officer.

Grand Duke Nikolai nodded and didn't say anything, it is normal for Japan to garrison Korea, if Japan does not act at this time, there will be ghosts. If Japan attacks the Northeast, Russia can join forces with Japan to attack the Chinese Empire, and in this way, the pressure on the Outer Mongolia battlefield will be greatly reduced.

On the Kulun side, the Chinese army directly surrounded Kulun, and as long as there were Russian soldiers, they would directly press back, just to prevent the Russian army from having a chance to break through.

Jiang Fangzhen wanted them to surrender, if they hadn't surrendered by tomorrow afternoon, they would attack Kulen, and there would be no such good talk at that time.

The airship troops of the Chinese Empire flew around over Kulun, but they did not drop bombs, which made the people of Kulen very afraid, and almost all of them huddled in their homes or cellars and did not dare to go out on the streets.

In a makeshift cave underground in Kulen, Jebtsundamba, Handa Dorji and others were discussing what to do next.

Holding a string of Buddhist beads in his hand and turning constantly, he sighed faintly and said: "This place has been surrounded by the troops of the Chinese Empire, we have no other way to go, I believe that the Celestial Empire will forgive us, we are forced." ”

"No, we will definitely be able to rush out, as long as we get to the Ulianghai area, we can get help from the Russian army, and we still have a chance. Now it's just a temporary defeat, sooner or later we will take it back, we can turn to Britain and other world powers for help, they will definitely help us. Handa Dorji retorted.

Chakdurzab and the others did not speak, and everyone present at the present understood that if according to the constitution of the Chinese Empire, they were splitting the empire, which was a very serious crime, although those people in Tibet have not been dealt with now, but the end is definitely not much better.

"Russia is just trying to use us, don't you see? The Celestial Empire is our best choice, our people have already recognized the Celestial Empire, or is the Celestial Empire credible, do you want our people to live a life of escape? Jebtsundamba put down the beads and asked sternly.

The people bowed their heads in shame, power is too tempting, but now they are no longer qualified to fight for power.

Hangda Dorji said hideously: "What ethnic groups are equal, what everyone is equal, it's not that they Han people are in charge, will they treat us equally?" Look at the fate of the Manchus, all the Manchu nobles have been abolished, the emperors have been driven to Shanxi to farm, and the current nobles are all their Han Chinese. ”

The faces of the people present changed after hearing this, they had always thought that they were noble, but now they were the opposite, and the Han people were emperors again.

"Don't say it anymore, now the Russians have the final say, we can't do anything without their consent, I think they will probably surrender, so when the time comes, we just need to say that we are forced, believe in the Chinese Empire, no, it is the Celestial Empire that should let us go." Chakdurzab said.

When everyone heard this, they also thought that it was reasonable, now their army in Kulen was very small, and the rest were basically Russian troops, and they had already lost almost all of them when the Celestial Empire attacked.

While they were discussing, there was a huge commotion in the Russian army in Kulen City, because the airships of the Chinese Empire left behind a large number of things written in Russian about the annihilation of the Russian Second Army, and also ordered them to surrender unconditionally by tomorrow afternoon, otherwise the 200,000 troops would directly launch the final offensive.

The Russian troops in Kulen City were very shocked after seeing it, and many thought that it was a conspiracy of the Chinese army, but after thinking about it, the second army did not appear when they encountered an attack, and they were a little suspicious that the general was hiding something.

Soon, the commander of the Second Army and other high-ranking officers were tied to tanks by the troops of the Chinese Empire and ran around the city of Kulen, and the Russian soldiers did not believe and had to believe in the fact that the Second Army had failed.

"Go ahead, truthfully announce the defeat of the Second Army, let me think about it." Major General Sachs sat down in his chair in frustration, and now he was in a mess, it was simply terrible.

The soldiers saluted and went out, and many soldiers ran to Major General Sachs to ask for an explanation after seeing the commander of the Second Army and others who had been captured by the Chinese Empire.

When Major General Sachs admitted this fact himself, the Russian soldiers were angry and scared, angry because they had been deceived, afraid that they didn't want to die yet.

Major General Sachs looked at the telegram sent by Grand Duke Nicholas very weakly, they had tried to break through many times, and each time they retreated with just a pile of corpses, and they had no chance to break through at all. The telegram told them to hold out for two days, and the reinforcements would arrive in two days, but he knew that this was just a white lie, and according to his guess, the reinforcements would not be able to reach here in two days, and even if they did, they would have been broken by the troops of the Chinese Empire.

Early the next morning, the Russian army in the city of Kulen raised the white flag and surrendered, so that the Battle of Kulen was completely over.

The Chinese army suffered nearly 50,000 casualties in the Kulen battle, and the 100,000 troops of the Russian army of Kulen were left with less than 30,000 in the end, plus the losses of the reinforcements, the Russian army suffered a total of 110,000 dead and wounded, and about 50,000 were captured.
