By the time the envoys of the eight countries to the Qing Dynasty arrived in Shenyang on July 5, on the southern front, the British colony in Malaysia, as well as Singapore, Penang and Malacca, the three port cities that held the Strait of Malacca, had been occupied by Lin Daxin's troops.

In addition, on the southern front, the colonial situation of the French was not good, and the Dingbei Army had already entered the French colony of Vietnam.

After the armies of the Eight-Nation Alliance countries retreating from Hong Kong entered Guangdong Province, nearly 90,000 troops rushed directly to Guangzhou City, the capital of Guangdong Province, and Cen Chunxuan, the governor of Liangguang, was in Guangzhou City at this time, and when he learned that the army of the Eight-Nation Alliance had killed from Hong Kong to Guangzhou City, he was immediately shocked, and on the one hand, he asked the imperial court for help, and on the other hand, he ordered the 22nd town of the Guangdong New Army and the patrol battalion in Guangzhou City to nearly 40,000 Qing troops, relying on the city defense fortifications, to prepare to resist the army of the Eight-Nation Alliance.

After the nearly 90,000 troops of the Eight-Nation Alliance arrived outside the city of Guangzhou, under the orders of its commander-in-chief, the British commander Di Luofu, they launched an attack on the city of Guangzhou.

The armies of the Eight-Nation Alliance did not attack the city of Guangzhou for a long time, only attacked for less than half a day, and after finding that the resistance of the city of Guangzhou was very stubborn, the attack stopped, after all, their purpose was not to capture the city of Guangzhou, but just to seize some supplies in the city of Guangzhou, and then continue to retreat in the direction of Guangxi Province.

Moreover, the Eight-Nation Alliance does not have so much time to spend here in Guangzhou City, and the Dingbei Army occupying Hong Kong is likely to chase after it, and it will be bad if it is caught.

As a result, the troops of these eight-nation alliances gave up the attack and bypassed the city of Guangzhou. After grabbing some grain around the city of Guangzhou, they advanced to the western part of Guangdong Province.

Thanks to these forces of the Eight-Nation Alliance, they went in time. Within two days, the army of the 10th Field Army of the Dingbei Army came to the outside of Guangzhou. Xie Jun, commander of the 10th Field Army, learned from Cen Chunxuan, the governor of Liangguang, that the troops of the Eight-Nation Alliance had just left two days earlier, and immediately ordered the army to rush over to the western part of Guangdong Province.

The troops of the Eight-Nation Alliance suffered little losses outside Guangzhou, and there were still nearly 90,000 troops, and they did not encounter any decent resistance in Guangdong Province after that, and even captured 2 county towns lightly and grabbed some grain, but they did not dare to harm the people in the county too much, mainly because they did not have time, they already knew that the Dingbei army behind them was chasing over.

So what else is there to say. Hurry up and escape, under the pressure of the Dingbei Army, the troops of the Eight-Nation Alliance marched all the way at a fast speed, and even discarded the heavy artillery for the sake of the marching speed, and some other baggage was also gone, and soon the troops of the Eight-Nation Alliance fled into Guangxi Province.

The troops of the Eight-Nation Alliance in Guangxi Province were not hindered in any way, and rushed all the way into the French colony of Vietnam, where they joined the French army in the Vietnamese colony.

After entering Vietnam, there were more than 30,000 British troops in the Eight-Nation Alliance. Not caring about fatigue, he continued to advance in the direction of the French colony of Laos, preparing to return to the British colony of Burma through Laos. According to British orders, their 30,000 British troops were to join the army to defend India.

The remaining French army consisted of nearly 30,000 men, of which 20,000 were servants. 10,000 are the regular French army, and the German army has nearly 8,000 men. The Russian Army has almost 8,000 people, and the Italian Army has 5,000 people. The Austro-Hungarian Army had 3,000 men, or about 54,000 men in total, and these troops were resting directly on the border between Vietnam and Guangxi Province, and together with the more than 20,000 French troops on the border, they were preparing for a possible attack on Vietnam by the Dingbei Army.

These troops of the Eight-Nation Alliance did not wait long, and the 10th Field Army of the Dingbei Army pursued them all the way, and did not stop because the troops of the Eight-Nation Alliance had fled into Vietnam, but resolutely crossed the border line and launched an attack on the troops of the Eight-Nation Alliance in Vietnam.

Although the 10th Field Army of the Dingbei Army did not have planes to assist in the battle, its firepower was still strong, and its strength reached more than 100,000, and the troops of the Eight-Nation Alliance, which combined with less than 80,000 on the Vietnamese border, soon could not resist and retreated in the direction of Hanoi City.

At this time, the Ninth Field Army of the Dingbei Army, which annihilated the British, French and Japanese forces in Fuzhou, landed directly in Haiphong City of Vietnam under the protection of the Northeast Navy, making the French Vietnamese colony attacked by the Dingbei Army and the two armies.

By July 5th, the 9th Field Army and the 10th Field Army of the Dingbei Army had already met outside Hanoi, preparing to attack Hanoi City, the seat of the French Indochina Federal Governor's Palace, and at this time, the French army in Hanoi City plus the land forces of several other countries retreating here were less than 60,000 people, so it can be said that Hanoi City was in danger, which also made Bi Sheng, the French minister of the 8 countries in the Qing Dynasty, anxious, hoping that Lin Daxin could order the Dingbei Army to stop the attack on Hanoi City, but Lin Daxin asked Wang Yan and Wu Peifu, who were in charge of negotiations, to pass the word, The envoys of the Eight Nations to the Qing Dynasty had no problem stopping military operations, but that would only be after the armistice had been formally signed.

When the French minister Bi Sheng heard this, he felt cool in his heart, it seems that Hanoi City cannot be saved, and it can't be because of Hanoi City, Lin Daxin's conditions, France will agree to it! Moreover, negotiations will take time, and by the time the two sides reach an agreement and formally sign the armistice agreement, it is completely certain that Hanoi City has long been captured by the Dingbei army.

What made the French minister Bi Sheng even more frightened was that Vietnam now had hundreds of thousands of Dingbei troops, and they were only satisfied with capturing Hanoi? Obviously, it is impossible, and then the French colony of Vietnam is in danger, and even the two colonies of Laos and Cambodia are on the verge of danger.

Bi Sheng, as the negotiator of France, immediately protested to Wang Yan and Wu Peifu, you said that negotiations are going to take place, why are you still continuing to attack, according to international practice, the two sides should stop exchanging fire at this time.

Wang Yan told Bi Sheng with regret, our Lin Dashuai said, even if you come to the Eight-Nation Alliance to negotiate by yourself, you have to follow the rules of Lin Daxin, what is the international practice, it is not easy for him Lin Daxin to do it, and if you want to stop the war, you can only do it after signing the armistice agreement.

After listening to Wang Yan's words, the French minister Bi Sheng was full of anger and blood, his face turned red because of anger, and he almost jumped up angrily and went to Lin Daxin to duel, but thinking of the task of this trip, Bi Sheng took a few breaths, and his face eased up.

The face of the Russian minister to the Qing Dynasty, Melkoshakin, was also very bad, and the Dingbei Army and the Northeast Navy on the southern front battlefield were advancing all the way, and the Dingbei Army on the northern front battlefield was not idle, grabbing territory in Russia.

After the field army of the five Dingbei Army won a great victory in Krasnoyarsk, in accordance with the order of the General Staff, they immediately transferred a large number of troops and advanced westward along the Trans-Siberian Railway, on the one hand, to pursue the fleeing troops of the Eight-Nation Alliance in Krasnoyarsk, and on the other hand, to prepare to seize the city of Novosibirsk, an important town on the Ob River.

There were 130,000 or 40,000 troops from the countries of the Eight-Nation Alliance who escaped from Krasnoyarsk, and in the end, less than 100,000 of these people fled to Novosibirsk, and the other tens of thousands of people were scattered on the way to escape, and most of them were captured by the Dingbei Army that was pursuing behind.

Nearly 100,000 troops of the Eight-Nation Alliance, who fled to Novosibirsk, soon arrived at the city of Novosibirsk west of the Ob River through the railway bridge over the Ob River at the request of the commander of the 12th Army of the Russian Army.

The railway bridge had just been blown up less than half a day ago, and the Dingbei army that was pursuing behind came to the Dongcheng District of Novosibirsk City, but the railway bridge had been blown up, and the Ob River was blocked, and the Dingbei army's pursuit had to stop.

As soon as the railway bridge over the Ob River was blown up, the plan of the Dingbei Army to rely on the Trans-Siberian Railway to quickly advance westward was blocked, but the Dingbei Army, which was blocked east of the Ob River, was not idle, and began to send a number of troops to march to various Russian towns between the Ob River and the Yenisei River.

In Russia's Kazakhstan region, after receiving reinforcements from 10 new divisions, the Fourth Field Army of the Dingbei Army also launched a large-scale offensive during this period, using only 2 new divisions to occupy all the areas where there were not many Russian troops stationed, such as Uzbekistan, Kyrgyzstan, Turkmenistan and Tajikistan.

Two infantry divisions and five newly formed divisions of the Fourth Field Army, with the cooperation of fighters of the Northeast Air Force, also launched an offensive against the German and Russian armies in the city of Zarkamels in western Kazakhstan.

There are 270,000 German troops and 280,000 Russian troops in the city of Zarkamets, adding up to 550,000 troops who use the fortifications they have built to stubbornly resist the attack of the Dingbei Army, but the losses are very large, after all, they are flesh and blood, resisting the combination of aircraft, artillery and tanks.

In the end, the Russian army and the German army that held out in the city of Zarkamels for 3 days were really unable to hold on, and the casualties were too great, so they had to evacuate the city of Zarkamet, and the remaining more than 200,000 land forces of the two countries retreated all the way to the west of the Ural River, and then stopped, so far the Kazakhstan region east of the Ural River was all taken by the Dingbei Army.
