The basic combat qualities of the Russian army still exist, and they all understand that under heavy encirclement, they will return or rush forward along the same road, and they will only die faster if they are bombarded by intensive artillery fire and there is no cover, just as the so-called most dangerous place is also the safest place, only by rushing into the woods and fighting with the Chinese can it be possible to escape by relying on the terrain.

Or surrender is also an option, after all, the good reputation of the Democratic Alliance Army for not killing foreign prisoners is not only spread in the mainstream European societies such as Britain, the United States, France and the Netherlands, but even the Russians have heard of it.

In fact, before the Qing-British War, Russians in the Siberian Far East were very rare, and most of the Russians in the eyes of the Chinese were Cossacks who came to the Far East to adventure, that is, Ermao, not Damao.

Russia had ambitions for the Far East as early as the Kangxi era, but the huge size of the Qing Dynasty and the defeat of the Nebuchu War made him have scruples, except for secretly luring the Cossacks to colonize the Far East and reclaim the wasteland, there was not much movement, but all this changed completely after the Qingying War.

With only 48 warships and 4,000 soldiers, the British easily occupied Dinghai and Guangzhou of the Qing Dynasty, bombarded Xiamen, Shanghai, and the Dagukou Fort at the gateway to Beijing, and captured Zhenjiang, forcing the Qing court representatives to sign the Treaty of Nanjing, which humiliated the country, on the Nanjing River, which all exposed the weak nature of the Qing Dynasty.

Tsar Nicholas I of Russia regretted that he had overestimated the strength of the Qing court and wanted to reap the benefits of the Qing Dynasty, so in 1847 he appointed Murajoviv, who was only 28 years old as the governor of Toulon Province at the time, as the governor of Eastern Siberia, to preside over the invasion of China and build momentum for the invasion of the Far East through public opinion between the government and the opposition.

After New Year's Day of the following year, the press throughout Russia suddenly showed an unusual enthusiasm for distant Siberia. Countless literati and writers have written travelogues and essays about Siberia and the neighboring Qing and Mongolian regions. Uncover the secrets of the riches and abundance of the mysterious East.

This ingenious technique was very effective in stirring up the enthusiasm and ambition of young people, because Russia is a backward country. Industry is not developed, the land is vast and sparsely populated, the climate is harsh, the circulation of commerce and trade is greatly restricted, and the social strata are solidified, and it is difficult for ordinary people to have the opportunity to soar.

The beautiful Far East gave them illusions, and soon a wave of Far Eastern fever was set off in Russia. Young people dream of going to the East to make a fortune, to get back a lot of gold, and to return to Europe to live a life of wine and wine.

The War Department also seized this opportunity to lure young people to Siberia to serve as soldiers with double salaries, and over the past 10 years, the total number of Russian troops has reached more than 100,000 from Central Asia, China's Xinjiang border, Mongolia centered on Lake Baikal and the Uliangtangnu Sea, and then to the White Mountains and Black Waters in the Far East. They were trained in infantry, light cavalry, heavy cavalry, pikemen, artillery, special forces, etc., and formed the Transbaikal Cossack Corps, which were deployed in the Far East, Outer Mongolia and Central Asia.

The Russian troops that entered the hinterland of China this time belonged to the Far Eastern Military District of the Transbaikal Cossack Corps, accounting for about one-third of the total number of Russian troops stationed in Asia.

To talk about cruelty. There are many murderous nations in the world, and even if the Chinese are pressed, they will show their fierce side, and the Baibailin and Mongols in Central Asia are never worse than the Russians in terms of cruelty. In terms of population, Russia has only a few hundred thousand troops in Asia. So why is he able to occupy the north-central part of Asia?

Among them, of course, there is the decline of the Mongols and the complex ethnic composition of Central Asia, and the Russians are good at dividing and dividing. Although Russia is a backward country compared to Europe, it is also an advanced country compared to Baibailin and the Qing Dynasty in Central Asia.

But today, the Russian army has encountered a hard situation, and what they are facing is no longer disorderly and chaotic, nor is it a traditional Asian army with inferior equipment, but a democratic alliance army with iron-blooded military discipline and equipped with the most advanced weapons in the world today!

This moment alone has pierced the false veil of the Russians claiming to be a fighting nation!

Generally speaking, there is always a big gap between the ideal and the reality, and it is extremely suitable to apply it to the Russian army, their dream of making a fortune is beautiful, but the reality is extremely cruel.

The Russian soldiers scurried around the field under artillery fire, leaving one corpse after another, and some of them were lucky enough to rush into the mangang on both sides, and the gunfire rang out from time to time.

In the Crimean War, the Russian army still used flintlock pistols, and was defeated by the Anglo-French coalition forces that were fully equipped with Mini guns, although three years have passed, but the Russian army, at least the equipment of the Russian army in the Far East, has not improved, and it is still a flintlock rifle, and the Democratic Alliance Army has been equipped with 54-style rifles in batches on the basis of fully equipped with Mini guns.

For example, the Second Division of the Fourth Army, that is, Tang Caifang's division, has one stroke and one stroke of 54 for each person.

The yellow bullets ruthlessly harvested the lives one by one, and the soldiers relied on the woods, rocks and dirt slopes, with the assistance of grenades and mortars, to shoot as much as they wanted, and Zuo Zongtang was also brought in front of Wang Feng.

Facing Wang Feng, Zuo Zongtang didn't know what to say, because his identity was very embarrassing, if he wanted to say surrender, he didn't have it yet, he was not subordinate to Wang Feng, let alone the camp, he was still a courtier of the Qing Dynasty, and Wang Feng was the leader of the rebels.

At the same time, there is another point, several people led by Zuo Zongtang are all wearing Qing Dynasty complements, and under the backdrop of the soldiers of the Democratic Alliance Army wearing modern military uniforms around them, they look so out of place, as if they are old antiques returning to the world.

Wang Feng also had a similar feeling, but he neither smiled nor said polite words, nor shook hands warmly with Zuo Zongtang and others, but pointed at random: "Mr. Zuo came just in time, we are preparing to have dinner, let's sit down and have a light meal together." ”

On the edge of a rock, several guns were erected, and not far away was a fire, with the crackling of firewood, on which were roasted pieces of horse meat, apparently not long to be cut.

Every time they fought with the cavalry, the warriors could feast on it, and it was a pity that the dead horses were thrown away.

"Huh?" Zuo Zongtang was a little surprised, for Wang Feng, no one in the Qing Dynasty officials dared to take it lightly, all through all channels to understand this person, it can be said that Wang Feng has no secrets except for his life experience, and playing cards not according to common sense is one of his characteristics, whenever you face him, you never know what he is thinking, what he will do in the next moment.

Wang Feng directly invited him to dinner without saying hello, which was indeed unexpected by him, but at the same time, this kind of casual relationship regardless of status and status seemed to dissipate a lot of embarrassment in his heart.

Glancing at Tao Huan, Zuo Zongtang made a casual look, and said with a smile: "Since Commander Wang is invited, then Zuo might as well be respectful, come, everyone sit down." ”

Zuo Zongtang beckoned everyone to sit down around the fire. (To be continued......)
