As the order was given, the artillerymen unhurriedly retracted the gun mount, put on their horses, and slowly retreated back under the cover of the infantry.

Viewed from the perspective of the Werneburg telescope, it seems as if this faint shadow is shrinking little by little, and although it is difficult to distinguish it from the background of snowflakes flying in the sky, it is really shrinking.

"Oh my God, what happened? Could it be that the Chinese army retreated? Does God remember us? ”

"Yes, yes! Is it backwards, do you hear, do you hear the ruts? The Chinese army really retreated, who can tell me what is going on, could it be that God sent down a holy voice and ordered the Chinese army not to be enemies of us Russians? ”

The Russian troops on Vilneburg, everyone could not believe what was happening in front of them, and shouted loudly with excitement.

As if they had won a battle, many soldiers even brandished their guns and shouted Ulla, but there were still some who did not believe that the Chinese army would retreat inexplicably, just like Velevkin, holding the binoculars tightly and staring at the slightly darker gray shadow without blinking.

But no matter how he looked, he couldn't see clearly, and he could only see the shadow slowly shrinking, which made him secretly guess.

"Oh, I see!" One of the attendants cried out: "It must be His Excellency the Governor, knowing that we are under siege, and sending an army to rescue us, great Lord Kaufman, you are the angel sent by God to earth." ”

The defenders were in an uproar, judging from the situation in front of them, there was really this possibility, otherwise, how could the Chinese army retreat in a good manner, the so-called being remembered by God was just comforting himself.

Velevkin lost no time in shouting: "Warriors, be ready to go out of the city at any time to attack." Cooperate with reinforcements to defeat the Chinese army! ”

"Ulla, Ulla!" The head of the city was loud.

Vyazelsky really fought, from Khorgos to Vilneburg, a distance of more than 200 kilometers, 200,000 troops took only three days, and there were snowflakes fluttering along the way. Those who follow the weather in Central Asia will know that the eastern part of Central Asia is a snow nest in early winter, and although the snow is generally not heavy, it lasts for a long time, and it is common for it to go on for a week.

Many people can't stand this kind of high-intensity march, but they don't think about escaping, because even if they are not killed by the Russian army on the spot, leaving the brigade in the vast snowfield can only be a dead end. They gritted their teeth and walked forward, and some walked and fell directly to the side of the road, never to get up again.

You must know that from Urumqi to Ili, there has been no good rest on the way, and the wind has consumed too much physical strength, and now it is out of Horgos. The intensity of the march increased again, at the rate of five kilometres per hour. For a distance of more than 200 kilometers, it is necessary to ensure at least 16 hours of marching time every day.

It was clear that horses could only be ridden by regular Russian and Cossack cavalry, and only feudal lords and officers under their jurisdiction were allowed to ride serfs. The Russians, who were serfs, were not qualified to ride horses, let alone the servant army and the cannon fodder army?

The high-intensity march, the harsh climatic conditions and the rudimentary diet made people reach a critical value both physically and mentally. There may be people who sublimate themselves when they break through the critical value, but the vast majority of people cannot bear sudden death, and nearly 5,000 soldiers have died on the road in the past few days.

The morale of the whole army was low, everything was white in the vast snow, and suddenly, several cavalrymen galloped to Vyazelsky's side and roared for a while.

Vyazelsky was suddenly shocked, and said loudly to the surroundings: "Warriors, twenty-five kilometers ahead is the Chinese army, they have about 50,000 people, and they are preparing to attack Vilneburg, but because of our arrival, they were forced to stop the offensive and hastily built a defensive position.

The Chinese army has not yet gained a firm foothold, this is the best opportunity to break them, I ask you to overcome the difficulties, move forward bravely, and make meritorious contributions to His Majesty the Tsar, and now I order that His Excellency Kim Sang-yin lead all the cavalry except the Cossack cavalry to immediately storm the positions of the Chinese army, and complete the preparations within ten minutes! ”

Coaxed, the pot exploded in the team, and it was okay to use yourself as cannon fodder, originally mixed with the Russian army, and had realized the fate of their cannon fodder, but in any case, you have to be a full ghost when you die, but the Russians don't even give you a rest, they start marching at three o'clock at night, and now it's eight o'clock in the morning, five hours in a row, tired and hungry.

Many people vented their frustrations loudly, and the Russians dismounted one after another, giving up their horses to the cannon fodder army and some of the servants, who rode on other people's horses.

Jin Xiangyin was Agubai's confidant, and he was also dissatisfied: "General Vyazelsky, do you want to eat something first?" Half an hour at most, but it won't last long, and as you know, the brothers are almost overwhelmed, and they have enough to eat. ”

Vyazelsky said with a cold face: "A lot of things can be done in half an hour, if the Chinese army is allowed to build a defensive line because of this half-hour delay, the casualties of our army will increase significantly, and if we attack half an hour earlier, we can lose a lot of people, have you calculated this account?" Who is more important in choosing between life and hunger? I don't believe that I would starve to death if I starved for half an hour longer.

Look at this heavy snowfall, it provides you with the best cover, you need to seize the opportunity to storm the Chinese army, don't say it, you should hurry up, not waste time arguing with me, break the Chinese position, His Majesty the Tsar will be rewarded! ”

Vyazelsky looked iron-faced and selfless, and the Russian army also raised their vigilance, and even some people raised their guns, as if these lowly Central Asians dared to be verbose and didn't mind letting them taste the bullets.

It was freezing cold, the soil was hard, and it was extremely difficult to excavate, Jin Xiangyin didn't believe that the Chinese army's more than half an hour of preparation time could be of any use, but he didn't dare to say any more, because Vyazelsky's eyes flashed with murderous intent.

"Queue, queue!" Jin Xiangyin waved his hand sadly and angrily, beckoning his subordinates.

The other leaders saw that even the most powerful Agubo tribe was ready, and they had to rush back into the formation and line up after they were still watching.

In ten minutes, nearly 50,000 cavalry rode forward.

The NLD army was still twenty-five kilometers away, and a premature dash would only exhaust the physical strength of the horses, but at this point, the Central Asian cavalry growing up on horseback was still very experienced, moving at a medium speed, spreading the formation as far as possible, forming a very sparse skirmish, and about 10,000 horsemen galloping into the distance, apparently preparing to break through from the flanks.

Since you have decided to fight, hesitation and retreat will only accelerate your death, which is a truth that everyone understands.

The distance between the cavalry and the Democratic Alliance army is getting closer, according to estimates, there are still seven to eight kilometers, Jin Xiangyin waved violently, the speed of the cavalry of the Agu Bai Division increased sharply, this accelerated sprint, but also drove the rest of the cavalry to accelerate the sprint, suddenly, the sound of hooves roared. (To be continued.) )
