One hundred and thirty ninth chapter Dingyuan battle thirteen
The smoke in Guli River City did not dissipate until evening, and the source of the fire outside the city was not completely extinguished. After several barrels of river water transported from the Guli River were poured out, the rising smoke dropped to a tolerable level.
【】 As the wind direction changed slightly, the smoke that ravaged the city quietly ran towards the river, drifting farther and farther until it disappeared into the distant horizon.
The auxiliary soldiers who participated in setting fires and extinguishing the fires suffered no less than the suffering residents of the city. Although their lives were not in danger, the torture of being close to a high-temperature fire scene that caused the body to rapidly heat up and the water content to drop rapidly was not something that ordinary people could bear.
of.
When the sound of surrender came from the city, the auxiliary soldiers couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. Some of the auxiliary soldiers who were too happy even dropped the barrels to the ground in excitement.
Guan Ning's army entered the city.
The first cavalry group to enter the city occupied the city as quickly as possible, opened the other city gates, and used the sound of horse hooves in groups to remind everyone in the city: This is no longer the territory of the Russians. At the same time, it also warned everyone
: Don't do anything unwise, otherwise there will be crazy killing after the horse's hoof.
Under the leadership of the officers, the musketeers walked out of the city gate dejectedly, threw their muskets on the ground, and then walked to a designated location, guarded by a team of fully armed soldiers. The Russian prisoners who were responsible for translating continued to
Remind them what they should pay attention to, what they must do now, and what they cannot think or do. At the same time, these captive translators will always inadvertently tell these surrendering compatriots where the army in front of them comes from and how many troops it has.
.
When he learned that the Qing army in front of him, claiming to be the Guanning Army, had defeated the army sent by Governor Nerchinsk to participate in the "Eastward Plan", killed the excellent commander Vladimir, and captured Cooper, Tokolos
Ji's mood became even lower. He could accept the loss of one Guri River city, but he could not accept the loss of one Guri river city after another. That meant that the land of His Majesty the Tsar would become less and less, bathed in the sunshine of the empire.
The people of the Tsar will once again be ruled by barbarians.
Depressed, Tokolosky was not prepared to commit suicide again, because he knew that now that Guan Ning's army had captured so many Russian soldiers and civilians, a prestigious commander must come forward to deal with them and ensure that the soldiers and civilians were protected.
He believed that Guan Ning's army could not kill everyone just to get an empty city. No army would do that. The war was just for getting
Wealth, population, and fertile land. If it weren't for these, the war would be impossible.
I must not abandon the soldiers and civilians before they have been properly arranged, Tokolosky thought. I must be responsible for them, because the order to surrender came from my mouth. If they ensure that the soldiers and civilians
The safety of the residents, then I will be happy to comfort the panicked people for them. When everything calms down, I will end my life and go to heaven to confess my abilities to Your Majesty.
A Leer faithfully fulfilled his duties as a servant. He always stayed with his master and witnessed the whole process of his master taking off his sword and walking to the prisoner camp. Everything happened in one day. In a daze, A Leer had a brief moment.
Fantasy, now he and his master are bathing in the river, instead of being controlled by a group of barbarians with swords like livestock that no one cares about. However, the reality makes this sixteen-year-old boy very confused, but he does not let it happen
And fear, because he believes that his master will take good care of him.
Compared with the Russians who strictly control them, the Evenki people who act as Rakshasa lackeys seem to have been deliberately ignored. There are only dozens of scattered soldiers around them, and these soldiers who control them do not seem to be afraid that they will
They rebelled again. Apart from occasionally glancing at them, most of the time, these soldiers were talking excitedly and loudly, without any fear that what they were talking about would be known to the Ewenki people. Of course, the Ewenki people could not understand it.
, although there seemed to be members of their tribe in this invading army, they could not get any useful information from the tribe's population. However, every Ewenki was happy, because this kind of under-appreciated treatment was exactly what they wanted.
Importantly, it seems that the Guan Ning Army has really kept their promise to treat prisoners preferentially. Even if they kill all the surrendered Russians, as long as we are retained, what does the life and death of the Russians have to do with us? So, we
As long as you act honestly, let the Qing people do whatever they want.
From the time the city gate was opened, the cavalry entered the city, until all the armed defenders left the city, no senior officers from the Guanning Army talked with Tokolovsky, Chekov, Vasilysky and others, only some were translating
The accompanying junior officers showed off the victor's majesty. Tokoloski was a little anxious about this. He was afraid that Guan Ning's army would break its promise and massacre soldiers and civilians.
When night falls, there are torches everywhere in the city, soldiers are stationed at the top of the city, and fires are piled everywhere from outside the city to the river. The brightness of the fire makes Gulihe City shine like bright stars in the night sky.
Looking at the officers of the Guan Ning Army coming in and out, Tokoloski wanted to stand up several times to stop the other party and ask about the other party's arrangements for himself and the people. But every time he wanted to stand up, there would be two fierce-looking soldiers angry.
They cursed and gestured to him to sit down immediately, otherwise their swords would strike him immediately.
Nay, deep Nay, unable to talk to the supreme commander, Tokolosky was full of worries. Around him, the officers behaved differently. Chekov looked expressionless, squatting there and swatting the mosquitoes that bit him from time to time.
Vasilski had a look of fear on his face, and kept scanning the surrounding Guan Ning Army soldiers. Some of the others were scared, some were confused, and some were helpless.
Will those Qing people keep their promise? This is everyone's question.
When the surrounding mountains and fields fell into complete darkness, the question seemed to be solved. Guan Ningjun asked all male residents in the city to leave the city, including the elderly and children.
The order was issued very urgently. Guan Ningjun wanted all the men to leave the city within half an hour!
I got my royalties the day before yesterday, went to my sister in the city in the afternoon, stayed one night late, and just came back today. I was temporarily kicked out of a section, and in two hours, Zongheng seems to be upgrading the server, so the update will be tomorrow.
Tomorrow will be the tomorrow of the outbreak, or even the day after tomorrow, the day after tomorrow, Gu Gu said confidently.
