Anti-Qing: Starting from the Reincarnation of the Ming Dynasty

After hearing this, Petroyev's expression improved slightly.

Yongxuan's confidence infected him.

Since Yongxuan, the former prince who is familiar with the current situation in the East, thinks there is no problem, then there should be a high probability that there will be no problem.

Besides, as the saying goes, it’s time to come. They have now crossed the Great Wall and even traveled all the way over the mountains to Xinzhou.

You can't just withdraw in despair, right?

If we really retreated like this, wouldn't the seven or eight days of traveling over mountains and ridges have been in vain?

But, just as the two were talking.

A Cossack sentry galloped from afar, crossed the twists and turns of the mountain road, ran to Petroyev, and spoke with a pale face to report.

"Report! Repay!"

"Your Excellency, General, our army is blocked by the Ming army at the exit of the mountain road ahead..."

When Petroyev heard this, his expression immediately changed, and a bad premonition arose in his heart.

He immediately took a deep breath and gave the order.

"Probe again and report again."

"I need to know how many people there are in the Ming army's blocking force."

"Besides this, please send a message to all the officers to come to my place for discussion."

Since they crossed the Great Wall and entered the customs, they have basically not encountered any decent enemies.

The passes along the way were basically cleared, and large numbers of them descended without any resistance.

This made many people in the coalition believe that the Ming army was strong on the outside and capable on the inside.

Now, suddenly encountered a blockage.

Still being blocked in the mountain road, he would inevitably feel nervous.

However, Petroyev's order had just been issued, and before the officers at all levels had time to gather, they saw another fast horse running quickly from behind.

The horse ran all the way to Petroyev and opened his mouth to report.

"Report!"

"Your Excellency, General Qi, something big has happened."

"Our rear army encountered a surprise attack by the Ming army and was caught off guard. The rear army suffered heavy losses. We are now gathering our forces to prepare for a counterattack."

When Petroyev heard this, a clear layer of cold sweat began to break out on his forehead.

He realized something was wrong!
Judging from the information he has received so far, their current situation can be said to be intercepted in front and pursued by soldiers behind.

In other words, they were blocked in the mountain road by the Ming army.

This shit is going to get cold!
Petroyev couldn't help but gasp.

Taking a deep breath, Petroyev spoke.

"Give the order, the front team changes to the rear team, prepare to retreat northward..."

As soon as he finished speaking, he heard a loud roar from the end of the sky.

This is the obvious sound of heavy artillery firing!

"Enemy attack!"

"The enemy is attacking, prepare the entire army for battle!"

"The front army tried its best to block the Ming army's offensive, and the rear army immediately prepared for a breakout and must open up a way to break through."

Petroyev immediately shouted at the top of his lungs, trying to command the army to prepare for war.

However, limited by the terrain, the coalition forces are now blocked on a mountain road.

The army stretched for dozens of miles on the mountain road, and there was no way his orders could be conveyed to the front line.

In the long and narrow mountain road, Mongolian soldiers and Tsarist Russian soldiers were in a mess.

There was chaos everywhere.

boom! Boom boom!

The sound of cannons continued.

Boom! Boom!
The soldiers of the Ming Dynasty who were responsible for blocking the enemy's way out of the mountain pushed the light artillery to the front line, aimed at the densely packed enemies in the mountain road, and started firing volleys.

Boom! Boom!
The sound of artillery continued, and shells fell one after another among the crowd.

Clouds of gunpowder smoke rose up!

Amid the explosion, broken limbs and broken arms were flying all over the sky.

The soldiers of the Ming army did not launch an attack rashly, but only cooperated with artillery to reduce the enemy's living space bit by bit.

In a densely populated situation, it is really a perfect harvesting opportunity for artillery.

……

"Report!"

"Your Majesty General, I can't stand it anymore. I can't stand it anymore. The Ming army's artillery fire is too powerful."

"We can't stop it!"

A Russian soldier came to Petroyev to complain.

Petroyev's face was gloomy and scary, he said nothing, and his eyes flickered with uncertainty, as if he was thinking about something.

On the side, several Mongolian soldiers were also complaining to their respective Khans.

Under the cover of artillery fire, the Ming army was advancing layer by layer, compressing their living space.

On the front line of the battle between the two sides, the anti-Ming coalition forces have been defeated for several battles in a row.

If it weren't for the narrow and rugged terrain of the mountain road, the Ming army would not have been able to encircle and encircle them to expand their victory.

The coalition forces may have been defeated on a large scale and then fled.

Of course, this is exactly what the Ming army wanted.

What is important is that the enemy troops are blocked and unable to escape.

Otherwise, wouldn't it be in vain that Ming Dynasty spent so much effort and made so many sacrifices to set up this situation?

Soon, the rearguard also came to report that their breakout failed. Several successive attacks were blocked by the Ming army, resulting in heavy casualties, but they were unable to open up the situation.

There is no other reason. The mountain road is too narrow.

The widest part can only accommodate two or three carriages traveling side by side. Except for the relatively flat mountain road, both sides are surrounded by steep cliffs and dense forests.

In this kind of terrain, the superior cavalry of the coalition forces would not be able to play its role at all.

It may even become a drag on the army!
Because in such terrain, once the war horse is frightened, the consequences are self-evident.

This also determined that if the coalition forces wanted to break through, they would have to fight head-on with the Ming army.

And what the Ming army is least afraid of now is head-on fighting!
Besides, the Ming army didn't actually have to confront the coalition forces head-on, as long as they could block the mountain roads and cut off the enemy's way of breaking out.

Even sleepiness can trap the coalition forces to death!
After all, there is no place in the mountain road for the coalition forces to replenish their food, grass and baggage...

The situation on the battlefield became more and more intense, and the Ming army began to launch attacks from two directions on the mountain road at the same time, constantly compressing the living space of the coalition forces.

To put it simply, the coalition forces are now under attack from both sides.

Under the superior firepower of the Ming army, their living space was continuously compressed.

But they really don't have a good way to deal with this.

All the artillery carried by the coalition forces had been lost under Suiyuan City, and now there was no way to deal with the Ming army's bombardment.

All we can do is continue to be beaten unilaterally!
"It's broken, it's going to be broken!"

Yongxuan's face was as pale as a corpse that had been lying in the freezer for several days, and she was in panic.

He can also realize how dangerous the current situation is!
Kojevich came to Petroyev with a solemn expression and spoke.

"Your Majesty General, judging from the current situation, we should be ready to break out."

After hearing this, Petroyev looked at the surrounding mountains and cliffs with a solemn expression, and said with a wry smile.

"Breakout?"

"There are encirclements in front and behind, where can we break through?"

Kojevic gritted his teeth and said.

"Hike up the mountain."

"The Ming army can block the mountain roads, but I don't believe they can surround the mountains."

When Petroyev heard this, his eyes subconsciously looked towards the surrounding mountains, and he was obviously moved.

But he was not able to immediately make up his mind to break through the mountains and ridges, but said with a solemn expression.

"If we have to break through the mountains and ridges, we may be able to break out, but the main force of the army may not be able to escape."

If there are few people, you might be able to escape by climbing over the mountains.

But the main force of its army will definitely not be able to escape, and will eventually be surrounded and annihilated.

And this is exactly what Petroyev cannot accept.

Tsarist Russia does not have many troops in the Far East, and the main force that it finally managed to gather is now in his hands.

If this main force is annihilated in the Ming Kingdom, let alone the Mongolian grassland, I am afraid that even Siberia, which the empire has already eaten, will be lost.

By then, Petroyev would really have no face to meet the elders of St. Petersburg.

The expression on Petroyev's face was quite solemn, and he couldn't make a decision for a while.

But Yongxuan on the side was quite decisive and said to Fan Boyong beside him.

"Fan Qing, we have to prepare to evacuate."

"Others may be able to survive if they fall into the hands of a bright thief, but if you and I fall into the hands of a bright thief, we will probably die."

Now Yongxuan and Fan Boyong are grasshoppers on the same rope.

Like the princes of various Mongolian tribes, if they can't defeat them, they will surrender.

If the Ming Dynasty wanted to actually control the grassland, it would definitely need the help of these Mongolian princes. Even if they could not retain their real power after surrender, they could save their life and food and drink.

Because they are still useful!
Even Tsarist Russians like Petroyev and Kojevich will most likely not die after they surrender.

The reason is also because they are still useful.

If the Ming Dynasty wanted to negotiate with Tsarist Russia to end the war, then people like Petroyev had their existence value.

However, Yongxuan and Fan Boyong are two exceptions.

One of them is a remnant of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and the other is the head of the Fan family headed by the eight imperial merchants.

The two of them are definitely on the must-kill list here in Daming.

If they really fall into the hands of Ming Dynasty, their lives will definitely not be saved.

When Fan Boyong heard this, his expression was stern, and he nodded immediately.

"Slave understands!"

"What should we do next, please ask the master for instructions."

Yongxuan looked at the mountains in the distance and said.

"Break through, climb the mountain immediately to break out."

"As long as I can escape back to the grassland, I will be confident that I can regain my strength..."

Of course, the revival is a sham.

After this defeat, the legacy left by Qianlong had long been lost to Yongxuan.

After this battle, all the grassland tribes must have suffered heavy losses.

Not to mention Yongxuan, even if Qianlong was resurrected and wanted to regroup, I'm afraid no one would support him anymore.

All Yongxuan wants now is to escape, find a place to remain anonymous, marry a wife, have a child, and pass on the bloodline of the Qing royal family.

Now he has realized that the Qing Dynasty is really over.

His desire to regain the Qing Dynasty is not just wishful thinking.

However, just because he can't do it doesn't mean that his descendants can't do it.

Just like the current Ming thief emperor, isn't he the remnant of the former Ming clan?
He believed that sooner or later, his children and grandchildren would be able to recreate the Qing Dynasty just like the thieves of the Ming Dynasty! ! ! (End of chapter)
