April in the capital is actually not that hot, but at this time the hearts of the people in the capital are very hot. Since April, all the people in the capital have been talking about the Royal Conquest, and the news about the upcoming war is even more rumored. There was a lot of excitement, it was really lively, almost every day there were dozens of versions, of course, most people thought that the Qing Dynasty would win this battle, and the people in the capital were eagerly waiting for the good news from the front, or after dinner There are more topics to talk about. Whenever the postmen who come back from the camp in front of the camp enter the city, they can always attract enough attention. There is a bragging capital.

On April [-]th of the third year of Yuanzhuo, the sun had completely set, and the last ray of afterglow rendered the clouds in the west into the color of thick blood, black and red, black and red, which was really ugly.On the post road outside Xizhimen, a horse riding a billow of smoke and dust came to the gate of the city without dismounting, and rushed straight into the gate, heading towards the direction of the Ministry of War. The postmen who reported the report had nothing to do, after all, no one dared to stop the urgent post report at eight hundred miles, right?A group of Xizhimen officers and soldiers could only curse and admit that they were unlucky.

At this time, Jingshi Street was full of Jingshi people who came out for a walk after dinner. Although it was not as crowded as in the daytime, it could be regarded as people coming and going, and it was very lively. With a hint of slowing down, the horse galloped on the street, causing pedestrians to jump around and dodge, there were many people who cursed, and of course there were some curious people who began to think about where to go. All connections, to see if we can get the latest battle report, the hearts of the people in the street are floating again.

Liu Shuangcheng, Minister of the Ministry of War, is a very self-aware person. Although he was the first to follow the dragon, now the Liu family is all the confidantes of the emperor. The whole family is full of dignitaries in the court. The eldest son Liu Yao is the admiral of the Shandong Navy and the second son. Liu Yao is already the governor of Zhejiang, and he himself is an upright Minister of the Ministry of War, but Liu Shuangcheng has never dared to take credit for it. He is very clear that his own talents are not considered competent for the position of Minister of the Ministry of War, and he can only make up for his lack of ability with diligence. Unfortunately, every day, he is always the first to come and the last to leave among the six cabinet members.These days, due to the tense battle on the front line, Liu Shuangcheng was so busy that he sent people to the Ministry of Industry to urge ammunition all day long, and to the Ministry of Households to ask for food and grass. His figure was worn into a stooped little old man.

Today, Liu Shuangcheng managed to finish the affairs of the Ministry, explained the matter to the military officers on duty, and was about to go back to the mansion, when he suddenly heard the sound of horseshoes outside the yamen, Liu Shuangcheng thumped in his heart. Needless to say, he rushed out of the lobby at a gallop, and saw a sweaty postman riding a fast horse to the gate of the yamen, almost rolled off the horse, fell to his knees on the ground, trembling. He said in a loud voice, "My lord, urgent report from the western front!"

"What?" Liu Shuangcheng didn't bother to ask any more questions. He reached out to take the letter held high above his head by the postman, checked the wax and seal in a hurry, and found that it was sent by the Xining Daying Camp. He hurriedly waved his hand The postman retreated, and walked back to the lobby worrying about gain and loss, opened the letter while walking, looked at the lights in the lobby, and suddenly felt darkness in front of his eyes, his whole body shook, and he almost fell to the ground. Several Goshhas had sharp eyesight and quick hands, and supported Liu Shuangcheng's precarious body.

"I lost, I lost, how did this happen, Your Majesty, Your Majesty..." Liu Shuangcheng muttered to himself with twitching corners of his mouth, and the hot tears in his eyes couldn't help gushing out.The gangster Geshha suddenly lost his position, but he didn't dare to ask nonsense, so he could only circle around Liu Shuangcheng who was standing blankly.

"Come here!" Liu Shuangcheng, who suddenly came to his senses, shouted: "Immediately block the lobby of the Ministry of War, and put the postman under my custody. No one is allowed to leave the Ministry of War without my hands. Palace." Although Zi Geshha and the military officials didn't know exactly what happened, they generally guessed that the front line might be defeated. Seeing Liu Shuangcheng's order, everyone had to act according to the order. But they were all beating the drums, worrying about their worries.Regardless of what the gang of officials thought, Liu Shuangcheng rushed out of the hall by himself, without taking a big sedan chair, he pulled a horse casually, turned on it, and rode the horse towards the palace.

At three o'clock in Shenshi, it was already dark, Hongli, the elder brother of the supervisor, who had finished his dinner, did not go to rest, but was still reading the booklet in the study room.As the eldest brother, Hongli cherishes this rare opportunity to supervise the country. No matter how hard or tired he is, he gritted his teeth and persisted. He had to read all the scriptures before going to rest every day. Zheziquan was just a rubber stamp, but he still carefully signed his name on each zhezi with a vermilion pen, occasionally put forward some different opinions of his own, and returned the zhezi that he thought were inappropriate to the Military Aircraft Department for re-examination.

"Master, Liu Shuangcheng, Minister of the Ministry of War, and Lord Liu handed over the sign, requesting to meet the master." Just as Hongli was buried in the book, Hu Liang, the little eunuch who was in charge of serving him, rushed in and reported with a low eyebrow. .

"Oh?" Hongli raised his head, thought for a while, then smiled suddenly: "Please come in, Mr. Liu."

"Yes." Hu Liang bowed his promise, and exited the upper study room. After a while, Liu Shuangcheng walked in with his eyes reddened, and knelt down on the ground, sobbing: "Brother, the front, the front is defeated. Your Majesty, Your Majesty's life and death are unknown."

"What?" Hongli was surprised, but he suddenly stood up, let go of his hand, and the ink pen fell on the desk, drawing a bright red pen mark on the unfinished memorial.

"Brother, this is the urgent military report from eight hundred miles just received." Liu Shuangcheng lowered his head and lifted the military report in his hand above his head.

Hongli hurried forward, snatched the military newspaper, pulled out the letter, and read it carefully in front of the lamp on the desk. He said: "Master Liu, when did the military newspaper arrive and where is the person who sent the military newspaper? How many people know about this?"

"Brother, this military report has just arrived. It was sent by the postman. The subordinate officials have already sealed off the military department. At this time, the news should not have leaked." Liu Shuangcheng did not dare to hide it when he saw Hongli's expression was not good, so he quickly replied road.

"Okay! Master Liu has done a good job in this matter. Master Huihui will report to Empress Ming and ask for credit for Master Liu. Now that the situation is urgent, it is better for Master Liu to stay in the study for a while." Hongli pointed Nodding his head, Liu Shuangcheng did not allow him to retort.As soon as the words fell, Liu Shuangcheng ignored Liu Shuangcheng's doubts and said loudly: "Come here, prepare the sedan chair. I want to go out of the palace and take a walk to Prince Yi's residence."

Two flowers bloomed, one for each, and it is said that after Ada led a cavalry battalion of a thousand elite cavalry to defeat the Cossack cavalry who were chasing Zhungeer's troops, he did not give up on it, but led his troops to chase after the fleeing Luo. Behind Major General Linski, he drove the retreating cavalry like ducks to the direction of the main force of the Russian army. After chasing and fleeing, he could already see them marching in less than half an hour. Russian infantry phalanx.

To be honest, the war horses under the Qing soldiers are all carefully selected good horses. Although the sprint ability is still not as good as the tall European horses, it is not much worse, and the endurance is much stronger than the European horses. Running wildly, if the Qing army hadn't intentionally controlled the speed of the horse in order to lure the enemy to go deep, it would have caught up with Major General Lorinski and his party, whose horsepower was already overdrawn. The trumpeter who followed him gave a low voice, and after a few shrill horns, the Qing cavalry, which was running wildly, slowed down, and slowly followed the route of the fleeing Cossack cavalry to the second corner of the Russian army phalanx. They stopped at a position of more than a hundred feet, and slowly adjusted their formation, but did not launch an attack. Not only that, most of the cavalry dismounted, and looked at the Russian phalanx busy arranging cannons in the distance with a leisurely look. .

"Oh, shit, what's going on?" Major General Bukhruski, standing in front of the ranks of the Russian army, looked at the retreating Major General Lorinski with a livid face, and said coldly: "Major General, your What about people? Don’t tell me there’s only so much left.”

Major General Lolinski said angrily and bitterly: "The damn yellow-skinned monkey set a trap. My people were ambushed and scattered. There are only a few who can come back."

"What? You bastard, I'm going to send you to a court-martial, come and detain this idiot." Major General Buchruski roared angrily.

"Buchruski, you have no right to do this. We are equal, and you can't control me." Major General Lolinski roared with a thick neck.

"Hmm, is it?" Major General Buchruski sneered and said, "I am the commander-in-chief of the front line, so I naturally have this right. Besides, I have issued an order to withdraw troops before, how dare you disobey the order? After suffering such a disastrous defeat, if you have anything to say, go to the court-martial and tell the judge, take it!" Facing the rows of black muzzles of the guards, Lorinsky couldn't bring it up at all. The courage to resist was dragged off the horse by the soldiers of the Guards who rushed forward, and tied into a rice dumpling.

Major General Buchruski glanced at the group of dejected Cossack cavalry, and saw that the highest rank among them was a major. He frowned, pointed at the major, and asked, "Major, what's your name?"

"Report to the general, this officer is Major Sholof Osrup, commander of the [-]st Battalion of the [-]st Regiment of the Far East Cavalry Division." Major Sholof straightened his chest on the horse and saluted.

"Very good, now you are the commander-in-chief of the cavalry, work hard!" Major General Buchruski returned the salute very casually: "Oh, Major Xiaolov, come and take a look, um, are you here?" An ambush here, right?" Major General Buchruski took out a simple map from his arms, and compared it with the large map in the hands of the attendant, he roughly pointed to the direction.

"Oh, I think so, it's about here, the grass there is very dense, and there is a big red willow forest, what's going on? How did the general know about this?" Xiao Luofu carefully looked at the map for a while , nodded.

"Haha... It's hard to say, hehe, it seems that the yellow-skinned monkey is very nervous. The troubles in the vicinity are interesting. Let's go, drive those annoying ghosts away first, let's go straight to this area, and take down The base camp of the yellow-skinned monkey." Major General Buchruski said with a smile on the map with a horsewhip in his hand.

Major Xiaolov didn't know why, but he didn't dare to ask more questions, so he could only nod his head.Major General Buchruski didn't bother to explain much. He pointed the horsewhip in his hand at the Qing cavalry in the distance, and ordered loudly: "The guards attack!" The Russian army in the phalanx sounded orderly and fierce drumbeats, and the Russian army in a dozen phalanxes took a neat step, and walked towards the cavalry of the Qing army who stood watching from a distance with their guns straightened. The oppressive momentum quietly rose on the battlefield.

Ada's time in the Firearms Battalion this year was not in vain. He could tell the reality of the Russian army at a glance, and he didn't intend to fight the Russian army. The costumes are all dressed up as Zhungeer cavalry, and they didn't bring muskets. If they really fought against the Russian army, it would be no different from sending them to death.

"Get on the horse, retreat!" Ada gave the retreat order very calmly. The soldiers of the Qing army who had been standing on the ground to rest their horses immediately got on their horses and prepared to turn to the pre-set position in Kalamaili Mountain. Just as the Qing army turned their horses to prepare While retreating, I suddenly found a cossack cavalry rushing out behind me at some point. There were not many of them, only about [-] cavalry, but they happened to block the retreating direction of the Qing army. Not to mention, the formation was a bit chaotic, and the situation was dangerous—if they were entangled by this Cossack cavalry that came up from behind, the Qing army would inevitably be defeated.

"Meeting on a narrow road, the brave wins! The cavalry battalion strikes!" Seeing the situation is not good, Ada drew out his saber with a "swish" and roared, leading the charge towards the galloping Cossack cavalry, followed by all the Qing cavalry. Crotch of the horse, rushed out...
