Chapter 699: Conquest of Russia
The two sides fought again with their armies.
This battle is not as good as the previous heads-up between the two, hundreds of thousands of troops on both sides are fighting for their lives on a small battlefield, and someone will fall at any time, and someone will be unwilling to leave at any time.
The two sides compare in strength, the Taiping army has an absolute advantage, the Taiping army has heavy cavalry, firearms, and Schikov's army is not, although he also has cavalry, but also firearms, but in terms of quality, their cavalry and firearms are far below the Taiping army, and what is more terrible is that cavalry and firearms only account for a small part of the Russian army, and most of the Russian army is only infantry.
One can imagine how shocking the scene of the confrontation between the two sides was.
The heavy cavalry of the Taiping Army is like the death of hell, constantly harvesting the lives of the Russian army, and although the old Russian also wants to resist, and the courage is also worthy of recognition, but the equipment is too poor, in front of the heavy cavalry of the Taiping Army, they are like children who meet adults, only the life of being ravaged.
In the face of the crazy attack of the Taiping army's heavy cavalry, the Russian army can only bow to the upper hand, and there is only one result, death!
Of course, the Taiping Army's heavy cavalry compared to the power of the firearms legion, that is still a step behind, the firearms in the hands of the firearms corps can be called the scythe of the god of fire, harvesting life, compared with the heavy cavalry, better and more powerful, more fierce, a shot a hole, a cannon into ashes, it makes people shudder, this heavy cavalry will kill people, and you can also leave a whole corpse, but the firearms are coming, and there is not even the scum left.
The power of firearms is definitely not covered.
And with these two sharp weapons in hand, the Taiping Army commanded by Huang Xu was even more invincible, they were attacking the position of the Russian army, and the Russian troops who were directly killed were corpses all over the field, and blood flowed like a river.
Such an unequal war is in Huang Xu's eyes. That's not unusual, because he is used to this way of fighting, but in Schikov's opinion, where this is war, it is completely a massacre, a one-sided massacre.
The strength of the armies of the two countries is not at the same level at all. The gap is just too big.
Schikov regretted a little, he shouldn't have promised Huang Xu in the first place, he shouldn't have fought such a battle, these Russian troops who died in the hands of the Taiping Army were the essence of his Western Military District, and they were also the elite of the Russian army, they all died like this, Schikov felt that his heart was bleeding.
However, what made Schikov even more desperate was that he faced such a situation. He had an indescribable sense of powerlessness, what could he do, except to surrender, maybe they didn't even have a chance to escape.
As soon as the battle began, the Taiping army used heavy cavalry to outflank them left and right, leaving them in a semi-surrounded state, and in the case of close contact with the Taiping army, it was impossible to run.
Schikov faced such a scene. It is the desire to cry without tears, and even the heart to die.
But. Is it like this, this is an army of hundreds of thousands, it doesn't matter if he dies alone, if even these hundreds of thousands of people have to be buried with him, this is obviously what he doesn't want to see.
I really can't die if I want to.
If you can't die, you can only take that path. Surrender?
It's a choice, a choice to save your life, but, as a soldier, you choose to surrender without a fight. It was a shame, a shame worse than death, and he could not go down this path until he had to.
However, time was running out for Schikov, and he had to make a decision as soon as possible, otherwise he would have to pay countless lives for every minute he hesitated.
The price is too great.
Schikov is still hesitating.
And the Taiping army, which can afford to kill, is unwilling to stop, if the Russian army surrenders, then they will be in trouble, so they have to take advantage of the surrender of the Russian army, first kill a big fight.
And in Huang Xu's heart, he also has the idea of killing people, because, after this war, the feud between the Chinese Empire and Lao Maozi must be very deep, and the Mao people are a fierce nation, if these Mao troops are allowed to live, it will leave a scourge for the Chinese Empire and future generations.
Therefore, it is best that the Mao army does not surrender, and the Taiping army will kill it all.
As the so-called monarchs and ministers are single-minded, their profits are cut off, perhaps the Taiping army has guessed Huang Xu's thoughts, which is to kill more smoothly and energetically.
In just a few hours, most of the Russian army had died at the hands of the Taiping army.
Looking at the hellish scene on earth, Schikov finally made up his mind.
He decided to surrender, at least to save the lives of some people, and as long as he lived, there was hope.
However, it is too late to surrender now.
The red-eyed Taiping army doesn't care if you put down your arms, shout or surrender, they can't take care of these anymore, and they can't hear it, they are too busy, busy killing these people who can't finish killing in front of you.
Schikov completely collapsed.
It's over, it's over, it's over, the Russian army is finished.
Amid the desperate cries of the Russian army, a massacre finally came to an end.
In the end, the Taiping army won a complete victory, and the Russian army was completely annihilated.
On the orders of Huang Xu, the Taiping army found the already demented Schikov among the mountains of dead bodies.
When the Taiping army found him, he kept shouting surrender, surrender......
Schikov, crazy.
Schikov, who is very important in Russia and is regarded as a pillar of the military, is crazy.
He was driven crazy, or rather, frightened crazy, frightened by the madness of the Taiping Army, one by one familiar people fell in front of him, but he was powerless to do anything, only to see the blood rain flying wildly, countless people lost their lives in various forms, and a deep fear suddenly arose in his heart, which was brought to him by the Taiping Army.
Finally, in the midst of endless fear, he went insane.
When the madman Schikov was brought to Huang Xu, Huang Xu just shook his head slightly, then sighed, and didn't say anything, just ordered someone to take care of Schikov.
Schikov is a good person, and for a good person, that's all Huang Xu can do.
After annihilating the army led by Schikov, Huang Xu directly led the army into Russia.
Having lost the armies of the three major military regions, Russia was like a toothless tiger, and in the face of the attack of the Taiping army, they could only retreat one after another, and constantly withdrew from their territory.
The Taiping army galloped through the vast expanse of Russia at the speed of a rapid march, and in less than a month, the Taiping army occupied most of the Russian territory, and it seemed that the destruction of the polar bear was as unstoppable as the sunset.
However, as he occupied more and more land, Huang Xu suddenly thought of a problem, that is, the non-my race must have different hearts, and the more places it occupies, the more difficult it is to manage, and it really can't just exterminate Maozi.
It is necessary to use the methods that have been successful in Japan, India and other places in the past to manage these old Maozi, that is, to raze and raze.
It was precisely because of this consideration that after compressing the Russian army to an area of 100 square kilometers, Huang Xu ordered the offensive to be stopped, giving the Russian royal family a chance to survive.
Then, Huang Xu sent an envoy to declare to the Russian imperial family represented by Zhukov that because the emperor of our empire was kind and merciful, he specially pardoned the sins of Zhukov and others and retained the imperial system, but the tsar could only be the tsar in name in the future, and all the royal family members could not go out of the 100 square kilometers range, and other Russian subjects still regarded him as the master, but Zhukov and other royal family members will no longer have the real power to manage the country.
This is known as a constitutional monarchy.
It is precisely because of Huang Xu's idea that the old hairy ghost has not been exterminated, otherwise, there may be no people like Lao Maozi in the future. (To be continued......)
