On the second day, a large army of 50,000 Russian infantry and cavalry arrived at Jingzhou City.

Looking from the north gate of Jingzhou City, you can see flags flying in the distance, and 50,000 Russian troops in uniform dark black uniforms lined up in five huge arrays on the side of the sky.

Ten thousand Cossack cavalry were squeezing their reins and hooves, and the war horses sniffed from time to time. A white mist sprayed out from their noses. The Cossack cavalry all looked unruly and looked straight at Jingzhou City in the distance. Behind the cavalry phalanx were four infantry phalanxes, with neat military formations, and the entire Russian army was arranged in a "grade" shape.

The north wind whistled, and the air was filled with a strong sense of solemnity, and a huge fighting spirit spread out from the Russian infantry and cavalry formation.

At this time, a road was given up in the Cossack cavalry phalanx, and three Russians, who looked like officers, slowly moved to the front of the formation on their war horses.

The leader was Vette. On his left was Adjutant Ostov, and on the right was Major General Aprakhin, the commander of the infantry legion.

Witt swept away his previous sluggishness, and stood in front of the formation with great energy, waving and swaying.

When Witt waved his hand, Ostov handed over a binoculars at the right time. After carefully observing Jingzhou City not far away, Witt saw the north gate of Jingzhou City open and said in confusion: "Why did the southern army not react at all when we were at the city?"

At this time, the city of Jingzhou was quiet, and there was no soldier from the Southern Army above the city gate tower, which puzzled Witt.

"Maybe the Southern Army heard that we were about to launch a large-scale attack and had already withdrawn!" Major General Aprakhin put down his telescope, snorted coldly, and said. He had fought for so many years, and there were many such cases of retreating without fighting and fleeing without fighting, so for him, there were no big fuss about it.

Witt shook his head firmly and said, "No, it's not that simple! The Southern Army is not as vulnerable as you think. Look, even if the Southern Army retreats without fighting, there should be local people in the city. But at this time, there is not even a single livestock outside the city, which is a bit unusual!"

But Apraksin shook his head and said with a smile: "Mr. Witer, I think you were frightened by the Southern Army! What's so strange about not having ordinary people? When our army headed south, we had eaten many yellow-skinned monkeys to improve our food. Perhaps the local people in this city were scared away early after hearing about our army's reputation!"

Although Vette did not like Aprakhin's tone of underestimation, what he said was unreasonable. The Russian army went south and the Cossacks once used some ordinary people from the Qing Dynasty as living targets for riding practice, drove them to the main road, and then drove them to hunt them. Just like the village where they camped last time, all the yellow-skinned monkeys in the village were used as tools for testing swords by naughty cavalrymen, and the headless corpses are still piled up in a small valley.

That's why Ostov wanted to catch a local people who were inquiring about information and could not find it, because when the local people heard that the Russian army was about to arrive, they were already scared to migrate with their families.

Aprakhin is more good at playing than him. Not only did he hunt the people along the way, but in order to improve their food, it is said that they also dig out their virgins to improve their food. Witt has long heard of all this, so it is not impossible for the people in Jingzhou to be scared away.

In the streets, the signs of some shops "creak" in the sea breeze, and all the scenes show the emptiness and loneliness of the city.

It is really appropriate to describe Jingzhou at this time as a ghost city!

"Master, do you want to go and see the military command of the Southern Army in Jingzhou?" Ostov suggested that the cavalry troops who had just entered the city to search discovered the command of Nie Shicheng in Jingzhou. Ostov then reminded him specifically.

"Let's go and see!" Witt was in a good mood. At this time, he took Jingzhou without bloodshed. Then his failure in the canyon not long ago could be ignored. The Tsar would not only not hold him accountable, but would reward him heavily.

Perhaps it was really as Aprakhin said, when the Southern Army saw the Russian infantry and cavalry army approaching, they knew they would lose their battle, so they decisively gave up Jingzhou and evacuated voluntarily.

When he thought of this, Vette regretted it a little. If he had not underestimated the enemy and advanced rashly, his Cossack cavalry would not have suffered such great losses. If he had waited a few more days at that time, the Cossack cavalry might have taken down Jingzhou like now, without a single soldier.

However, this little unhappiness quickly flipped over. After taking Jingzhou, what is more exciting than sitting in Nie Shicheng's position to drink coffee!

Ostov personally helped Witt open the gate of Nie Shicheng's command center. Witt stepped into the door and saw that the wall with a huge military map was already pale, the command table was in a mess, teacups and shredded paper were everywhere, and there were traces of burning in a corner of the room. It was obvious that the Southern Army burned all confidential documents when evacuated. The sand table next to it was also overturned to the ground, representing the deployment of small paper flags of the Southern Army and the Russian Army scattered everywhere.

At this time, a glimmer flashed in Witt's eyes, because he found that there was an extraordinary grand sage chair at the head of the command table, probably where Nie Shicheng was sitting.

Witt turned into two steps, sat on the Taishi chair, feeling comfortable and hungry, Ostov also gave Witt a cigar at the right time.

After a moment of sucking the clouds and fog, a satisfied smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. The haze of the setbacks of the canyon battle before was swept away, and the success of the victory was replaced.

In fact, Witt suggested that the Tsar go south not only to exchange for the throne of Outer Mongolia, but also an important reason, that is, after Yuan Shikai unified the north and south, these tens of thousands of Russian troops could become one of the bargaining chips for Russia and Yuan Shikai's negotiations.

After all, there are tens of thousands of foreign troops stationed in the inland areas of a country. No matter which country cannot tolerate this situation, how can others sleep peacefully at the bed? Therefore, after the Russian army occupied Jingzhou, it is enough to defend Jingzhou. After Yuan Shikai eliminated Tang Jian, Yuan Shikai would have to pay a certain price to withdraw from Jingzhou.

At that time, maybe you can cut more land! Witt secretly thought in his mind that once this plan of killing two birds with one stone will be successful, Witt's future in politics will be unlimited.

Just as Vette's thoughts drifted into the clouds and mountains, a voice suddenly rang in his ears: "Report, no, Commander!"

Witt sat up in a panic and asked the communications soldier who ran in, “What’s wrong?
