The 80,000 Mongol cavalry joining the battlefield seemed to be the last straw that broke the camel's back. The Russian Cossack cavalry, in the midst of the bitter battle, could no longer see any hope of victory. By order of Governor Muravyov, the Russian Cossack cavalry began to disperse and break through. The remaining more than 10,000 Cossack cavalry began to flee by the way. However, if they wanted to escape, they had to break through the interception of the Imperial cavalry and the Mongol cavalry.

In the process of breaking through, a number of Russian Cossack cavalry were intercepted and then cut to the ground. Some desperate Cossack cavalry, seeing that there was no hope of escape, could only choose to surrender. However, even if these Cossack cavalry laid down their arms, the attack of the Imperial and Mongol cavalry did not end. The order of the commander, Major General Sanglingqin, was clear, not to take any prisoners of war.

As the commander of the Russian army, the escape of Governor-General Muravyov did not go smoothly. Despite the fact that more than five hundred Cossack cavalry surrounded him, trying to break through the lines of the Imperial cavalry. However, they were surrounded by at least two cavalry battalions. The Cossack cavalrymen who protected the governor of Muravyov were cut off one by one. There are fewer and fewer people guarding him. In less than half an hour, the Cossack cavalry guarding him had been reduced from more than 500 to a few dozen.

"Oh God! We failed, we could not break through the blockade of those Chinese cavalry. Surrender! Governor Muravyov said in despair. Although, surrendering to China is a shame for him. But. Even so, it's much better than losing your life!

The Cossack cavalrymen who were guarding the side of Governor Muravyov laid down their weapons one after another. Prepare to surrender.

"I am the Governor-General of the Russian Far East, and I demand reciprocal treatment!" Governor Muravyov said loudly. The translator beside him translated his words into Chinese. The Imperial cavalry, besieging Governor Muravyov, was about to continue their attack, but was stopped.

"Accept their surrender!" Monk Grinqin gave the order.

"However, His Majesty the Emperor meant not to take prisoners." Major General Qiao Moyan said with a frown.

"Let them lay down their weapons first, and then kill them. Wouldn't that be a lot easier? Monk Greenqin said with a sly smile.

"This ......" Major General Qiao Moyan hesitated, but finally nodded. There were not many Cossack cavalry left, though. But if the battle continues, the Imperial cavalry will inevitably pay a certain amount of casualties. If only you could disarm these Cossack cavalrymen and then kill them. That's much easier.

Seeing that the Chinese cavalry accepted their surrender, more and more Cossack cavalry laid down their arms. In the face of the siege of hundreds of thousands of enemies, they already knew that if they continued to fight. It won't end well. Only surrender. Maybe there is a way to live. Although the Cossack cavalry usually valued honor more than life. However, in the event of successive defeats, they already had no choice but to surrender.

In the end, the Russian Cossack cavalry, who surrendered to the empire, still had more than 6,000 people. The other Cossack cavalry, numbering more than 25,000 men, had already died in battle. In order to annihilate this Cossack cavalry, the Imperial cavalry also paid a full 2,000 casualties. This is also the reason why these Cossack cavalrymen were inflicted heavy losses with artillery and heavy machine guns.

The Cossack cavalry after surrender was surrounded by Imperial cavalry. Their weapons and horses were confiscated. Now they no longer have the arrogance and arrogance they had before. In its place is helplessness and fear, like a lamb to the slaughter.

"Khan kings, I'll leave the rest to you. His Majesty the Emperor means no prisoners of war, so you should know what to do, right? Major General Monk Greenqin smiled.

"Haha, monk, leave it to me! Those old Maozi killed a lot of people from our Xilin Gol Department. Now it's time to avenge the dead. The Khan King of the Xilin Gol Division, Arslen, said with a smile.

Several other khans expressed their willingness to share the worries of the empire. Now is the time to show loyalty to the Empire, and they certainly won't pass up this opportunity. Besides, the Mongols in the steppes and these Russian Cossack cavalrymen already had a deep grudge.

"Sons, do it, kill all these old hairymen!" The Khan King of the Xilin Gol Division, Arslen, took the lead and roared loudly.

The tens of thousands of Mongol cavalry under his command immediately responded, brandished the scimitar in his hand, and rushed towards the surrounded Cossack cavalry. The other Mongol cavalry also attacked under the orders of their respective khanates.

At this time, those Russian Cossack cavalrymen, even the most stupid, knew that they had been deceived. Now they are unarmed and have no war horses, how can they be the opponents of those murderous Mongolian cavalry!

"Bastards, you vile and shameless fellows. If you are treacherous, God will throw you all into Hell! Governor Muravyov cursed fiercely. However, even this could not change the outcome of their killing.

The Mongol cavalry slashed into these Cossack cavalry and slashed them at will. The galloping hooves of the horses, trampling on the bodies of these Russian Cossack cavalrymen, directly trampled them into a pulp. The remaining more than 6,000 Cossack cavalry were slaughtered in just over ten minutes. The blood of these killed Cossack cavalrymen flowed into the Yanghe River, staining the river red.

"A few Khan kings, you clean up the battlefield here, bury the corpses, and we will go to pursue the main force of the Qing army." Monk Grinqin said. When the Mongol cavalry slaughtered the Russian Cossack cavalry, he did not blink an eye, as if it was not a human being who was slaughtered, but a brute. Perhaps, in the hearts of these Mongols, the Russian Cossack cavalry was simply a brute!

"Okay!" Several Khan kings were overjoyed. Cleaning up the battlefield means handing over the loot to them! These Russian Cossack cavalrymen had a lot of oil and water on their bodies. When they attacked Shengjing, they robbed all the way, robbed a lot of property, plus their war horses and weapons, etc., which was already a lot of wealth. For the Mongol tribes, this is already a very considerable income.

In fact, there is a reason why Sangha Grinqin did this. Compared to the hundreds of thousands of bannermen of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, these Russians were simply poor as beggars. When the Manchus fled Beijing, they took almost all of their belongings with them. If those Mongol cavalry were allowed to participate in the final assault on the Manchus, there would definitely be problems because of those wealth. In this case, this problem is avoided. For the wealth taken away by the Manchus, the emperor Long Yufei gave a death order, and he must get it.

The 1st and 2nd armies of the Imperial Cavalry began to pursue the main forces of the Manchus.

When the Imperial army ambushed the Russian Cossack cavalry, the Qing army actually got the news. In order to guard against these Russians, the Manchus sent a cavalry battalion to hang far behind these Russian Cossack cavalry. However, they did not expect that these Russian Cossack cavalry would be suddenly attacked by the imperial army.

The cavalry of the Qing army hurriedly went back to the regent Aixin Jueluo. Mianyu and others reported the news.

"What? There is an ambush of rebels ahead? How good is that! "The regent loves Xin Jueluo. When Mianyu learned the news, her face immediately changed. If the Manchus wanted to continue, they had to leave the Guannai and go to the grassland. But now, the way is actually blocked.

"What about the losses of those Russians? Will they be able to defeat the ambushed bandits? Chief Military Minister Wen Qing asked. If the Russians were able to defeat the ambushed Chinese Empire* army, there would be no big problem.

"My lord, the offensive of the rebels is very fierce, and the Russian cavalry has suffered heavy losses, and is now struggling to support it. It is estimated that I am afraid that there is more luck than luck. The Qing army general who reported the news replied truthfully.

"Hell! How could it be like this. "The regent loves Xin Jueluo. Mianyu immediately panicked, and didn't know what idea to take.

"Master Wen, what should we do now? Those rebels must have been prepared for a long time, and the road ahead has been blocked. There will definitely be pursuers behind, where should we go? Mu Zhang'a, Minister of Military Aircraft, asked in a panic.

The current situation is very unfavorable for them. There are interceptions in front and pursuers in the back, and there are tall Yanshan Mountains on both sides, and they have no other choice.

"Your Highness, we have only two options now, either send the 2nd Cavalry Corps to attack and rescue those Russians. Now we are in partnership with the Russians, and in the future, we will have to rely on the Russians if we go to the steppe. The other is to retreat immediately, from Xuanhua Province to the north, and while those rebels are dragged by the Russians, we will leave immediately. Wen Qing said.

The regent Aisin Jueluo. Mianyu fell into deep thought, and he didn't know what to choose for a while.

"Your Highness, those rebels in front must have been prepared, and if we send troops to rescue those Russians, we will definitely crash into the defensive line that those rebels have already deployed. In my opinion, let's retreat to Xuanhua Mansion and flee directly to the grassland! Mu Zhang, Minister of Military Aircraft, said.

"His Royal Highness the Prince Regent, news came from the front that there were a large number of Mongolian cavalry attacking the Russians, and it is suspected that they were cavalry from various Mongolian tribes in southern Mo!" At this time, new news came back from the front.

"What? Mongol? How is this possible? "The regent loves Xin Jueluo. Mianyu, Chief Military Minister Wen Qing exclaimed.

"It's over, it's completely over!" Mu Zhang'a, Minister of Military Aircraft, even had an expression of the sky falling. (To be continued......)
