"Oh God! What a massacre! How could those yellow-skinned monkeys have such strong firepower! Some generals of the Russian army have made such exclamations. Such dense firepower is simply unheard of in their military life. Some people couldn't help but rejoice that it was not their army that attacked Shengjing City, otherwise, they would have become like Lieutenant General Viktor, the commander of the 11th Infantry Corps of the Russian army, and their faces would have become like pig's liver. Before the battle began, he boasted to the governor of Muravyov that he could easily break through Shengjing. However, now the Russian army, under the intensive fire of the Imperial Army, has collapsed, and it is as if it was a slap in the face.

Another man who hated the Imperial Army, Colonel Nevelskoy, Governor Muravyov's confidant, was also pale at the moment. Originally, after being rejected yesterday, he also thought that the two major generals of the Imperial Army were arrogant. But now it seems that this is the confident table xiàn! The attack of the powerful Russian army is simply like going to die. If it were him, he wouldn't have agreed to surrender!

"Lieutenant General Victor, let the 43rd Infantry Division withdraw! If they continue to fight, they will all be finished! Governor Muravyov said with a dark face. There is no doubt that this battle is a disgrace for him. The Russian army, which was originally invincible in his mind, was so vulnerable. No. It should be the Chinese army that he looks down on, and he has such a strong combat effectiveness. This was completely unexpected, unscientific. Even the Russian army is not equipped with such a terrible weapon. Those yellow-skinned monkeys are actually equipped. How is this possible? After all, the Far East has long been called a scientific desert. There is simply no suitable soil for the development of science and technology. Could it be that the Chinese Empire has really been able to develop to such a point in just ten years? At first, Governor Muravyov scoffed at the power of the Chinese Empire. But now, the brutal truth makes him have to believe it. The Chinese Empire has indeed become a world-class power, at least their army is already a first-class powerhouse. Even the Russian army was bleeding under the defense line of the Chinese army. Not to mention the armies of other countries.

"Yes, Your Excellency the Governor!" Lieutenant General Victor nodded. However, it seems that it is no longer his turn to give the order to retreat. Because the attacking 43rd Infantry Division of the Russian army has collapsed. Those Russian troops scrambled to flee backwards. Their neat queue has long since fallen apart. The artillery fire and bullets of the Imperial Chinese Army were beaten behind the buttocks of those Russian soldiers, and Russian soldiers were constantly torn to pieces by shells or killed by bullets. This made the Russian soldiers desperately flee. I can't wait for my parents to give them two more pairs of legs. This allows you to run a little faster. Some Russian soldiers even threw away their rifles in their hands in order to reduce weight. To put it in one word, it's to throw away the armor!

Governor Muravyov returned to the provisional headquarters without saying a word, followed by the other generals. Everyone didn't say a word, and they didn't know what to say. It was really a strong example of the Imperial Chinese Army, which caused them too much shock. Lieutenant General Victor shed down to clean up the aftermath. The 43rd Infantry Division of the Russian Army participated in the attack, with more than 10,000 people. However, in the end, he was able to return to his position intact. There are less than three thousand of them. More than 70 percent of the people fell forever on the way to this attack. After suffering such heavy losses. The 43rd Infantry Division of the Russian Army can almost be canceled. Because the rest of these soldiers were also frightened, and in a short period of time, they could no longer be sent to the battlefield. These people have been frightened by the powerful firepower of the Imperial Chinese Army!

After getting the number of casualties, Lieutenant General Victor came to the headquarters.

"Lieutenant General Victor, how many casualties were the 43rd Infantry Division?" Governor Muravyov asked.

"Your Excellency the Governor, the casualty statistics have come out. The 43rd Infantry Division lost more than 7,000 men in this round of attack! ”

"Shhh The other generals in the headquarters couldn't help but gasp. Just one attack almost cost the Russians an infantry division. If it goes on like this, what's going to happen? Even if all these three infantry corps of the Russian army are dead, they may not be able to take Shengjing City! Although the Russian army still has 3 cavalry corps, you can't let the cavalry attack the city! Now they can be considered to understand why the 4th Cavalry Corps of the Russian army suffered such large losses before. It's not because of the 4th Cavalry Army, it's because their opponents are too tough!

"Your Excellency the Governor, since those people of the 4th Cavalry Army already know that the Chinese army has strong firepower, why didn't they warn us?" Colonel Nevelskoy raised questions. If the Russian army had been prepared, perhaps today's casualties would have been made up.

Subsequently, Governor-General Muravyov summoned those commanders of the remaining units of the 4th Cossack Cavalry Corps. The final conclusions were drawn. Because the Russian army did not believe the words of the 4th Cavalry Army at all, they also reported it, but it was considered that they were shirking their responsibilities.

Governor Muravyov also had nothing to say about this. If he wants to be held accountable, he can't get rid of it. Therefore, this problem can only be solved. Fortunately, this time the attacking force only has one infantry division, and if more troops are sent, the casualties of the Russian army may be even greater.

"Gentlemen, I have to admit that the strength of those yellow-skinned monkeys is far beyond our expectations! But we don't fear them because of that. His Majesty's order is to set foot in the capital and kill all the yellow-skinned monkeys inside, and we must complete this task. Therefore, our attacks will not stop. Next, our attacks will continue. However, we can't use the same old tactics anymore, we have to keep up with the times! "Even by this time, Governor Muravyov had not given up. In his opinion, this time the 43rd Infantry Division of the Russian Army suffered heavy losses. But for an army with more than 200,000 troops, this loss has not yet been able to break their bones. Now that they know the strength of the Chinese army, they can use effective tactics to make up for it.

"Yes, Your Excellency the Governor. Although the Chinese army is strong, we are not vegetarians. European countries have also adopted new tactics, and our Russian army will not be much worse than them. Colonel Nevelskoy was the first to respond.

In the afternoon of the same day, the attack of the Russian army continued. This time, they will no longer line up in a neat phalanx to send them to death, taking a scattered formation. However, compared to the skirmish lines used by the Imperial Army, the scattered formations of the Russian army appeared to be disorganized. Although this shaping was effective in reducing losses when the artillery bombardment range of the Imperial Army was passed. But after entering the range of the Imperial Army's mortars and heavy machine guns, Russian casualties still began to soar. Every step they take is accompanied by heavy casualties. What is even stricter is that these Russian troops are suppressed to the death. Under the powerful fire of the Imperial Army, the Russian soldiers had to lie on the ground and did not dare to take a single step.

Although the Russian army can blow up the walls of Shengjing with gunpowder, in such a situation, they can't even get close to the city walls, let alone blow them up.

The Russian offensive ended in failure every time. However, as if they did not spare the lives of their soldiers, they continued to attack. The soldiers of the Imperial Army are about to be killed.

After the end of the first day of fighting, the defense of Shengjing City was still impregnable, but the Russian army had already paid a lot of casualties. The 11th Infantry Corps of the Russian army, which participated in the offensive, has already lost more than 20,000 people. Two infantry divisions suffered heavy losses, and two more infantry divisions suffered significant losses. It can be said that the combat effectiveness of this infantry corps has been sharply reduced by more than half.

In the evening of the same day, Governor Muravyov summoned a meeting of the generals. He also realized that if he continued to attack like this, the Russian army would probably not be able to break through Shengjing City even if it ran out. In this case, he will not only not be able to achieve military exploits, but will even be questioned by Tsar Nicholas I. He hoped to find other ways to break through Shengjing City.

However, during the daytime attack, the Russian army had already seen the strength of the Imperial Army. Under the intensive firepower of the Imperial Army, they couldn't even reach the edge of Shengjing City, and if they wanted to attack Shengjing City, it would be even more delusional.

"Your Excellency, perhaps we can change our minds. There is no doubt that the defense of Shengjing City is very strong. It will be difficult for us to break through their defenses. If we continue to attack, our losses will only grow! Therefore, I thought that I could come to besiege Shengjing City. There were 70,000 or 80,000 Chinese troops in the city. The amount of supplies consumed by so many people every day is an astronomical amount. Maybe it won't be long before they run out of ammunition. When the time comes, we will be able to take Shengjing City without much effort! "Lieutenant General Oleg, commander of the 22nd Infantry Corps of the Russian Army, built a yì road.

"Humph! Besiege Shengjing City, it sounds good! Of course, the Chinese army will run out of ammunition and food. But don't forget, we don't have much to eat. And, the cold winter is coming. The Chinese army can also hide in the city from the wind, snow and cold, what about us? We can only stay in the wild. At that time, I am afraid that we will not be able to force the Chinese army to the point of running out of ammunition and food, and we will be forced to death first! Governor Muravyov said coldly.

Suddenly, Lieutenant General Oleg smiled wryly, sat back in his seat, and said nothing more! (To be continued......)
