was really guessed by Major General Kang Rui, commander of the 14th Army of the Imperial Army, and these old hairy men really came to persuade them to surrender. But do they think the Imperial Army is so vulnerable? When you see more than 200,000 Russian troops arriving, you will be so scared that you can't pee your pants? These old hairy people must be too underestimating the Imperial Army! Moreover, this Russian envoy still looks so high-minded, he is completely underwhelmed! If it weren't for the fact that he was the envoy, Major General Chen Wenjie might have ordered him to be dragged down and shot.
Major General Chen Wenjie's unbridled laughter and words made Colonel Nevelskoy very angry, and he felt as if something was wrong! The two generals of the Chinese army didn't have any frightened expressions. Don't they know how strong the army of the Russian Empire was! Or did they think that after killing 20,000 soldiers of the 4th Cossack Cavalry Corps of the Imperial Army by using conspiracy, they could compete with more than 200,000 Russian troops? With the strong strength of the Russian army, it is enough to flatten Shengjing City, and there will be no chickens and dogs!
"Your Excellency, is my words funny? Be clear, this is your last chance. When the army attacks Shengjing City, you won't have any chance! Colonel Nevelskoy said coldly.
"Haha, Colonel. I am very grateful for the kindness of your governors. However, I didn't figure it out. Why do we surrender to you? Can you really break into Shengjing City? Major General Chen Wenjie finally stopped laughing and asked.
"Of course! Your Excellency, outside Shengjing City. Our army has more than 200,000 men. If we want to set foot in Shengjing, we won't have to work hard at all. It's just that His Excellency the Governor doesn't want to cause too much killing! Colonel Nevelskoy said. As if it were true.
"Colonel, you don't have to waste your time. We will not surrender. If the Russian army wants to attack Shengjing City, then launch an attack! We wait. If you want to use other schemes, I advise you to give up these unrealistic ideas as soon as possible! Major General Conrey, commander of the 14th Infantry Corps of the Imperial Army, said. Although he did not know what the Russians were conspiring to, but. He didn't believe that these Russians would be kind enough to persuade him to surrender. If these Russians are not killed, then the whole world is expected to have no war. Therefore. He will not believe the nonsense of Colonel Nevelskoy. In addition, he also has great confidence in the Imperial Army's defense of Shengjing City. Although the Russian army is outnumbered. More than three times the strength of the Imperial Army. But. In addition to the 80,000 cavalry, there were only 150,000 infantry, which was only twice the size of the Imperial Army. If the Russian army did not use cavalry to attack the city, the pressure on the Imperial Army would be much less. In addition, the equipment and firepower of the Imperial Army were far above the Russian army, and at the same time, there was a strong city as a barrier, and the Russian army wanted to break through Shengjing. That's almost unlikely.
"Humph! General, you are denying you the last chance to survive. Once His Excellency the Governor ordered an attack on Shengjing City. You won't have another chance. I advise you to think about it better. The great Russian Empire was not something that the Chinese Empire could provoke. You're going to pay an unimaginable price for it. His Majesty the Tsar has already ordered the destruction of the Chinese Empire. Therefore, it is better for you to surrender to us as soon as possible. Otherwise, if you continue to fight against the Russian Empire with the Chinese Empire, you will not end well! "Colonel Nevelskoy was a little annoyed when he was exposed by Major General Conrey. However, he was unwilling to give up like this, so he continued to threaten.
"Colonel, you don't have to keep bragging. Again, if you have the ability, then see you on the battlefield, I want to see if the Russian army has the ability to break through Shengjing. In addition, if Russia wants to destroy the empire, it is simply wishful thinking. I think it's your tsar who is whimsical! Russia, although powerful, is nothing more than a European country. Sending more than 200,000 people to fight in the Far East should already be your limit! The empire, on the other hand, could easily send hundreds of thousands of troops to fight against Russia. You are definitely no match for us! Major General Kang Rui continued. Although Russia is the hegemon of Europe, it also has the largest army in the world. However, judging by its combat effectiveness, the Russian army is not at all an opponent of the Imperial Army. In addition, Russia's center of gravity is too far away from the Far East, and if Russia wants to destroy the Chinese Empire, it is just talking.
"Humph! You just don't know what to do. We intend to let you live. However, if you want to die yourself, then you can't blame us! Soon you will know how foolish your choice is. When the time comes, you will kneel down and ask for our forgiveness. However, we will never give you another chance. You will die a miserable death! Colonel Nevelskoy said angrily. In his opinion, Major General Chen Wenjie and Major General Kang Rui simply did not know whether they were alive or dead, and they dared to reject the goodwill of the Russian Empire so blatantly, it was simply a crime to die, although this persuasion was nothing more than a conspiracy from beginning to end. However, it was rejected outright, which made Colonel Nevelskoy very angry. You know, originally he wanted to use this persuasion to make a contribution again. But now, all the qiē has come to naught. He couldn't wait to break the bodies of Major General Chen Wenjie and Major General Kang Rui into thousands of pieces to vent the hatred in his heart.
"Colonel, please respect yourself. We treat you as a messenger, so forgive your nonsense. But if you talk nonsense again, then we'll have to send your head back! Major General Chen Wenjie said coldly, and his eyes were even more murderous.
"Ugh!" Colonel Nevelskoy, who was chattering, was like a duck that had been pinched by the throat, and all the words were gone. However, then he was ashamed of his actions. He was actually frightened by these yellow-skinned monkeys, which was simply unforgivable. However, the murderous intent in the eyes of Major General Chen Wenjie does not look like a pretend. This worried Colonel Nevelskoy a little.
"Humph! Since you have rejected the Governor's kindness, we will see you on the battlefield! Still, I promise, you'll regret it! Colonel Nevelskoy dropped the sentence in a huff and left.
Major General Chen Wenjie and Major General Kang Rui did not stop them, and they have not yet done so much. However, Colonel Nevelskoy's arrogance did make the two of them very dissatisfied.
Colonel Nevelskoy, after returning to the barracks, reported to the Governor-General of the Far East, Muravyov.
"Your Excellency the Governor, I'm sorry that I didn't manage to complete the mission, and those yellow-skinned monkeys refused our offer." Colonel Nevelskoy said with a red face. After all, this mention was proposed by him, but it turned out to be fruitless, which made him very faceless.
"Colonel, don't blame yourself. Those yellow-skinned monkeys don't agree to surrender, and that's okay too. Next, we will use our strong military strength to kill them all! Governor Muravyov said. Although I feel a little pity, there is no way to do it. The Chinese army in Shengjing City refused to surrender, so they could only launch an attack with dignity.
"Your Excellency the Governor, those yellow-skinned monkeys have not only rejected our kindness, but also mocked us, saying that we are beyond our means, and claiming that we are absolutely incapable of capturing Shengjing, so let us get out of here as soon as possible. Otherwise, when their reinforcements come, they will leave nothing of our armor behind! "Colonel Nevelskoy began to add fuel to the insult of the Imperial Army. He regarded this mission to Shengjing City as the shame of his life.
"Your Excellency the Governor, those yellow-skinned monkeys are so hateful, we must not let them go!" Lieutenant General Sergei, commander of the 5th Infantry Corps of the Russian Army, spoke.
"Humph! Those yellow-skinned monkeys are shameless. In that case, we don't have to think of any other way. Attack tomorrow morning, and I'm going to let those yellow-skinned monkeys know that the army of the great Russian Empire is invincible! Governor Muravyov said with a dark face.
"Victory must belong to the Russian Empire!" Colonel Nevelskoy said.
"God will be on the side of the Russian Empire! Lieutenant General Victor, tomorrow's attack will be the responsibility of your troops. Do you have the confidence to break through Shengjing City and kill all your yellow-skinned monkeys? Governor Muravyov asked.
"Of course, Your Excellency the Governor, rest assured, my army will definitely break Shengjing City! I'm going to screw off the heads of those two yellow-skinned monkey generals! Lieutenant General Viktor, commander of the 11th Infantry Corps of the Russian army, said with a cruel smile.
Governor Muravyov nodded, and he was very satisfied with Lieutenant General Viktor's answer.
The Chinese Empire resolutely refused to surrender, which frustrated the Russian army's attempt to kill the Imperial Army in Shengjing City by intrigue and trickery. Instead, the Russian army only launched an attack on Shengjing City in a dignified manner. And a bloody battle is about to be staged in Shengjing City.
On the morning of November 3, 1846, as soon as the day dawned, the Russian army had already begun to make pre-war preparations. Several Cossack cavalry corps of the Russian army were scattered around Shengjing City, and surrounded Shengjing City to prevent the Imperial Army from escaping from the city. The other three infantry corps were all concentrated on the west side of Shengjing City, preparing to attack from here. This is also the place where the 20,000 cavalry of the 4th Cossack Cavalry Corps were killed, and they tried to break through Shengjing from here, which can be regarded as revenge for the Cossack cavalry who died!
