"The Chinese are coming." Since the destruction of Angarasko and other cities took place at night, the Irkutsk defenders, who were doubly vigilant, were now in a state of being in a state of being full of grass and trees, and as soon as they heard the wind and grass, they did not care about the first shots, so a lot of ammunition was wasted, and it caused a serious tiredness from the spirit to the **. "Shoot, shoot!"

It cannot be said that the Russian attack was ineffective at all, no, the wooden fence-like low wall of the tree on the perimeter of the Russian castle to prevent the enemy from facing the city defense was shattered by the Russian artillery fire, so that the Xia army could easily cross this former obstacle and approach the city wall. Of course, the Xia army did not act in a hurry, but quietly approached the city before dawn, when the sky was darkest and the defenders were most tired.

According to the previous experience of attacking Russian castles such as Usoliye in Siberia, the Xia army, which was approaching from three roads, did not dig a trench around the city in a big way, but simply dug a row of earth pits that pointed obliquely in the direction of the city, and then placed the remaining more than 1,200 rockets in it, and after igniting the fire, they retreated to the side and watched the fire of destruction fly towards Irkutsk. The Russians, who were suddenly awakened, looked at the Chinese Grim Reaper who came like an arrow of fire, and desperately tried to save their city, but the result was in vain, just like the previously destroyed cities of Sherekhov and other cities.

When the gunpowder in the barracks was also ignited by the heat, Irkutsk lost its future completely.

As a last resort, the Russian settlers fled the city. Fearing that the Xia army would intercept on three sides, the Russians flocked to the side of the Irkutsk River. It's just that the ships on the pier of Irkutsk have already sailed to distant Severobaikalsk with the sick and wounded, women and children, and the Russians are waiting for only an icy river.

As the fire grew, more and more Russians who had fled the city concentrated in the small open space between the burning city and the cold river. I don't know if it was because of the push of the latecomers, the pioneers standing on the river beach were squeezed into the river step by step, and then drove countless blind followers to jump into the water together.

None of these Russian settlers who tried to swim across the Irkutsk River succeeded, either by freezing and sinking to the bottom of the river or by the dying throes of those who were about to drown??????

The fire in Irkutsk was finally extinguished after burning for two whole days, but what made the surviving Russians cry without tears was that there were less than 500 people left in Irkutsk, which had more than 3,000 Russians before, and the rest were either killed in the fire or died in the glacier, which can be described as miserable.

However, death may have been an easier option for the Russians - when they got out of the fire, the survivors lost almost all their food, and some even burned their clothes - and in August, Siberia, which had begun to get cold, it was obvious that it was impossible to hold on any longer, and the only thing that could save them at this time was to abandon the chauvinistic fervor and surrender to the Xia army.

"Your Excellency, we meet again." When the ragged Baron Sergeevsky reappeared in the camp of the Chamon coalition army, the caustic Luo Wenjing teased the loser. "This time, Your Excellency has brought your country's reply."

Baron Sergeyevsky replied bitterly: "Because of the attack of your country, only myself and the tax commissioner, Viscount Konstantin-Alexander Skylov-Slavinov, remained among the high-ranking Russian officials of the entire province. ”

Wang Ying listened quietly, and listened to Baron Sergeyevsky say in a tone as suitable as possible for the nobility: "In order to save the lives of the remaining 500 or so Russian residents, after my discussion with Viscount Slavinov, we hope that your country can give us and all Russian residents appropriate treatment. ”

Baron Sergeyevsky's words are very beautiful, but to put it bluntly, it is actually a begging surrender, in this regard, Wang Ying did not mean to beat the water dogs: "Surrender, we can accept it, but there is a precondition, that is, Your Excellency and the tax commissioner must order the two cities of Cheremkhovo and Zima and the Baikalsk outpost to surrender to our court immediately." ”

Baron Sergeyevsky was still a little hesitant, after all, being forced to surrender and ordering the initiative to open the city were two completely different crimes, but at this time Luo Wenjing bluffed and threatened: "If you don't want to watch us burn Cheremhovo, Zima and Baikalsk to the ground, it's better to give the order obediently." ”

Baron Sergeyevsky, who did not know that the Xia army had run out of rockets, sighed helplessly: "As long as your country can guarantee the lives of all Russians, I, I will give the order together with Viscount Slakinov, but, Your Excellency, I hope you can understand that the fall of the Nizhny Baikal region is unacceptable to Russia, and the war between the two countries will continue for this." ”

"I've known about this for a long time." Wang Ying had a victor's smile on her face. "Don't worry about it??????"

Perhaps they accepted the authority of the two nobles, or were shocked by the last appearance of Irkutsk and other cities depicted by the messengers, or perhaps they were trapped in the predicament of food shortages early in the morning, so when the letters of surrender with the seals of Viscount Slavinov and Baron Shirgeyevsky arrived, the Russians surrendered one after another.

According to the previous agreement, Wang Ying reduced the surviving Cossack families to herdsmen and distributed them to the local Buryat Mongols and Ulianghai Kyrgyz who participated in the war as compensation, while the rest of the Russian settlers, led by two nobles, braved the cold winds that had already raged to the Bratsk River valley a little farther away.

When the Russians left the Verkhniy Baikal region, Wang Ying burned down the small city of Zima on the banks of the Bratsk River, leaving only 500 people from the 1st Brigade of the 2nd Division of the Hussars led by Luo Wenjing to stay in Cheremkhovo, a node in the upper reaches of the Irkutsk River, as an outpost warning position to prevent the Russian counterattack.

In addition, Wang Ying also left a team of scouts in Baikalsk to control this important mountain trail. After this qiē was done, Wang Ying led the remaining more than 1,800 Xia troops straight back to Selenga Fort.

"What? Lord Wang leveled the west of the North Sea? And burned the Rakshasa in Irkutsk, an important town west of the lake? "Although the Beihai Metropolitan Protector An Wenhua knew that Wang Ying's troops had successfully attacked the Vikhnibaikal region before, he did not know that Wang Ying's second attack could achieve more brilliant results." This, is this true? As soon as the words came out, An Wenhua knew that he was stupid, no matter how bold Wang Ying was, it was obviously impossible to lie about this matter, so he hurriedly corrected. Really, what a miracle. ”

Murong Jingming frowned: "Lord Wang, I'm afraid that the more urgent the invasion, the more powerful the Oros counterattack will be in the coming year." ”

"Don't be afraid of counterattacking, judging from the capture of the entire Beihai by this dynasty, the key element of the operation in the north is grain, as long as the local supply of grain is cut off, the Russian army can only rely on rear transportation, and the price will be high." Wang Ying said eloquently. "Therefore, in the spring of next year, regardless of whether the Rakshasa reinforcements arrive or not, this official will inevitably send troops deep into the west of the Beihai Sea again."

"It doesn't matter if you attack once or twice, but if there are too many times, how can the Rakshasas not be on guard." Murong Jingming was not moved by Wang Ying's self-confidence, but was worried that Wang Ying would be confused by the momentary victory, so he reminded him repeatedly. "Besides, going deep into the west of the North Sea is also an expedition for our army, and it also needs a large amount of grain, and at present, most of the Protectorate can only collect some beef and mutton from the subordinate Mongolian departments, and more grain is still to be transported from the rear, but I am afraid that it will not be able to support the needs of the army."

Wang Ying asked rhetorically: "Lord Murong, how did the training of the Mongolian Volunteer Army go during the period when this official went out into battle?" ”

As soon as Murong Jingming heard it, he knew what Wang Ying was planning, so he asked. "What does Lord Wang mean, but when he goes to the west of Beihai next year, will the Mongol army be the main force?"

Wang Ying nodded and said: "Exactly, the Mongols are obviously more patient and tenacious than our army, if the Mongolian righteous army can be of great use, it is best to use it for long-distance attacks." ”

"That's a way to go." Since Wang Ying is thoughtful and is the military chief of the Dadu Protectorate, Murong Jingming is not good at being stubborn and blindly opposed, otherwise if it spreads, the soldiers will inevitably say that they have pulled Wang Ying's hind legs because of jealousy, and if he uses Mongolian righteousness to join the army, he will be a dead Mongol if he fails, so Murong Jingming took a step back and expressed his approval. "It's just that at present, the Mongolian Volunteer Army has only four and a half regiments, and its strength is still weak."

"It doesn't matter." Wang Ying said with a smile. "Three thousand people is already a lot, plus the Kyrgyz and the Buryats in Huxi, as long as they don't fight hard with the Rakshasas, it is enough to break through the scattered small strongholds of the Rakshasas."

Wang Ying and Murong Jingming finalized the battle plan for the second year with one word, and this attitude of ignoring the officials present made An Wenhua very dissatisfied, so he seized the opportunity to ask: "Lord Wang, this official heard you say that he proposed some conditions for peace talks to the Rakshasa people, which is a bit of an arrogance of authority. ”

An Wenhua pointed at Wang Ying with a gun and a stick, which made Wang Ying's face flush, but Wang Ying did act beyond his authority, and the so-called general was difficult to convince, so he had to explain with a beating: "The reason why Xia Guan proposed the demarcation is from military science, and the climate on the shore of the North Sea, the soldiers of this dynasty can no longer bear it, and they talk about the extreme north of the north." ”

Seeing Wang Ying's hard mouth, An Wenhua sneered, and just asked: "Lord Wang has already said it, in the eyes of the Rakshasa people, it always represents the meaning of this dynasty, so I have to go back and ask for instructions." Lord Wang, do you think the Rakshasas will agree? ”

How dare Wang Ying guarantee the ticket, at this time, Murong Jingming relieved the siege and said: "Lord An, just the so-called time and time, even if the Rakshasa people agree, now that the advantage is on our side, I have to add some additional conditions." ”

An Wenhua couldn't offend all the military attaches of the Protectorate at one time, so he had to give Murong Jingming a little face: "Lord Murong, what I said is that this official is counting on Lord Wang to make new contributions to the imperial court, so that this official can also fight with the Rakshasa people." ”

Wang Ying doesn't mind An Wenhua's attempt to seize the leading position in diplomacy, in the final analysis, An Wenhua is also for his own future, since he has such an understanding, the two sides can also work together??????
