Time Travel to 1859: The Iron-Blooded Soldier King

The Russian troops under Aichun City were surrounded by the Qing army. They had no way to escape and no way to enter the earth. They were completely trapped in a desperate situation. The demoralized Russian army finally despaired. Faced with great fear, one by one the Russian soldiers dropped their weapons, knelt on the ground, and raised their hands in surrender!

Basha and Sergei had no choice but to surrender. It was too cowardly. A force of two to three thousand people was actually annihilated by a group of Qing troops. This was a humiliation that the Russian army had not encountered in hundreds of years! Even during the reign of Emperor Kangxi, when Emperor Kangxi went north to fight, he only defeated the Russian army, but did not encircle and annihilate it!

The Qing army celebrated wildly after entering Aichun City. It was not easy, really not easy. They traveled thousands of miles from inside the Great Wall to outside the Great Wall, and went through hardships before they achieved a great victory. This was rare in decades!

He Qimou and others arrived at the Russian headquarters and laughed loudly, "Yezi, you are truly amazing! You fought this battle with such passion and determination, it was as if you were assisted by God. I don't think there is any general in the entire Qing Dynasty who has such a genius command ability as you! I am convinced, I am completely convinced..."

Liu Ye smiled and replied, "Brother Qimou, we haven't reached our goal yet. The war has just begun. The Russian army still has a lot of troops here. If we want to achieve complete victory, we must capture Vladivostok! Such a great victory was achieved by the brothers who fought desperately and sacrificed their lives."

He Qimou nodded and asked, "Ye Zi, now that we have taken over Aichun City, what should we do next?"

Liu Ye's eyes flashed, and he sneered, "The Russian army lost more than 2,000 people in the first battle. Vladivostok's defenses must be empty now. The first thing Mushavyev must do is to draw troops from various units to guard Vladivostok. They dare not lose it. Our target is Vladivostok. As for the other cities, leave it to Yishan. If Yishan fails to capture the large area east of the Ussuri River with the defenses empty, then he deserves to be dismissed as a general. He will not be able to keep his head when he returns to Beijing."

Vladivostok!

He Qimou pondered and said, "Ye Zi, I heard that the Russian army has a naval fleet outside Vladivostok. Although the manpower is not strong, it will pose a certain threat to us. We..."

Liu Ye said in a deep voice: "Don't worry about them. Most of their fleet is used to transport military supplies. They only have one large ship and two small gunboats. They are not a big concern. As long as we occupy Vladivostok, the Russian fleet will be like a tree without roots. They will have no choice but to retreat to St. Petersburg!"

Zhu Hai on the side shouted: "Brother Ye, just give the order, how should we fight?"

Liu Ye replied, "It's very simple. Just crush them. Aichun is the shortest city to Vladivostok, and the closest cities to Vladivostok are hundreds of miles away. As long as we advance at full speed, we can definitely reach Vladivostok before the Russian army can fully assemble and catch them off guard!"

Liu Ye stood up and shouted, "Luo Bicheng!"

Luo Bicheng quickly stood up. Liu Ye ordered, "Bicheng, lead your cavalry battalion at full speed, bypass the front of Vladivostok, and cruise northwest of Vladivostok. If you find any small groups of Russian troops, annihilate them on the spot!"

"twitter!"

"Zuo Baogui! Use your left wing battalion as the vanguard and advance quickly towards Vladivostok. Once the main force behind you arrives, attack together! Besiege Vladivostok!"

"twitter!"

Leave the personal guards behind to guard Aichun City, and the remaining three battalions will all follow me!"

Liu Ye issued orders one after another, and the entire Qing army took action again.

Mushavyev soon learned the news that the Russian army had suffered a crushing defeat in Vladivostok and that Aichun had fallen.

Sure enough, it’s that Liu Ye!

Mushavyov's face was gloomy. This battle had been fought too cowardly. An army of more than 2,000 men had been completely surrounded and annihilated, with only less than 200 men escaping. It was an unprecedented defeat. Most importantly, the more than 2,000 casualties had severely damaged the Russian army. Now the entire Far East region had fewer than 6,000 troops, more than 3,000 of whom were still thousands of miles away in the Northeast. The remaining troops near Vladivostok were less than 3,000, and they were scattered throughout the Amur Oblast! The entire Vladivostok, including the reinforcements, only had more than 1,000 men. With such a small number of troops, they really had no chance of success against Liu Ye's Qing army.

Mushavyov took a deep breath. He originally thought that the situation would be better if Sergei was sent out. Even if he failed, he could ensure the army's retreat. Unexpectedly, even Sergei could not save the fate of the Russian army. Guo Ye was really too powerful!

What to do now? Liu Ye will never give up, Vladivostok is really in trouble this time!

"Send an urgent telegram to Collins immediately, demanding that he send his main force to support Vladivostok as quickly as possible! It must be quick!"

Mushavyov now had to give orders again, requiring all Russian troops in East and West Siberia to move towards Vladivostok. The Qing army was quite powerful, and coupled with the Yishan Qing army that retreated back to Heilongjiang, the Russian army was now completely passive.

Of course, it is not so easy for the Russian army to enter Vladivostok. Vladivostok is located in a corner of the Far East and is far away from the Russian military strongholds in various cities. It takes time to reach Vladivostok.

Today, in the northwest direction of Vladivostok, a cavalry is cruising around. It is the cavalry battalion led by Luo Bicheng. Not only that, Liu Ye even sent all the Mongolian cavalry to Luo Bicheng at once. The elite cavalry under Luo Bicheng has reached 700 people. This is a powerful fighting force, searching everywhere for small Russian troops to come to the rescue of Vladivostok.

Luo Bicheng was grinning. The battle was so exciting. The largest Russian army they encountered had only more than a hundred people. In front of hundreds of cavalry, such an army was no match for them. Only a small group of cavalry escaped. The rest of the Russian army was killed by the Qing army. It had only taken five days from Aichun to now, two days on the road.

After cruising here for three days, the cavalry battalion had defeated more than 300 Russian soldiers with great success. The Russian soldiers had no power to fight back at all.

In this way, under the leadership of Liu Ye, the other four battalions of Qing troops all arrived in Vladivostok and surrounded Vladivostok from the west and north.

Liu Ye looked at the military map in front of him with a calm expression. Vladivostok is not Aichun yet. This city was the first choice for Tsarist Russia to build the most powerful military fortress in the Far East. The fortifications were strong, and it would not be easy to capture it in one fell swoop. What's more, there must be other garrisons on the outskirts of the Far East to fully support Vladivostok. It's time to capture Vladivostok and show real skills!

It would be extremely difficult to take Vladivostok without paying a huge price!
