"Damn, how can this be? In just half a day, it was attacked into the city by those rebels. If this continues, how can you get it? Will you be able to hold on? General Sheng Jing's heart was in turmoil, and he paced anxiously back and forth in the study. Do you hold on, or do you want to run away as soon as possible? The armies of the Chinese Empire have been prepared on all sides of Shengjing, and if they flee now, will they be able to escape? In addition, his family has already been taken to Beijing, and if he disobeys the orders of the imperial court and escapes from Shengjing without authorization, his family will definitely not end well. These are all things that Sheen needs to worry about. If he dies in Shengjing, his family will definitely be treated properly. If he escapes or surrenders, then his family will be pushed to the entrance of the vegetable market and beheaded. Even if he is a child of the clan, at this time, the court will definitely not let him go. The current shape is already very unfavorable to the imperial court, and if it is not dealt with strictly, how can it deter others. Therefore, Sheen did not want to be the chicken that was used to warn the monkeys.

"Master, General Yixiang is here." While Sheen was thinking about it, the butler walked in and said to him.

"Let him come to me!" Sheen's face was a little unpleasant. Before the battle began, Yixiang had assured him that he would be able to resist the attack of the Chinese Empire and hold Shengjing. But what about now? Shengjing was broken through by the army of the Chinese Empire, and those rebels rushed into Shengjing.

"See the general." After Yixiang came in. Respectfully salute Sheen.

"Yixiang, you give General Ben a clear word, how long can you hold on?" Xien stared at Yixiang tightly.

"Your Excellency, General. The lowly has already sent troops to stop the rebels. The officers and men of the 19th Army will do their best to resist the attack of the rebels. However, I'm not sure how long I will be able to resist it. The combat effectiveness of the rebels far exceeded our previous expectations. Even the new army of the Qing Dynasty is far from them! Originally, he thought that those rebels would be able to defeat the foreigners. It's all the result of their boasting. Now I know that it's all because of their strength! Yixiang said with emotion. Originally, he thought that the Great Fresh Army was trained by British instructors. It is already a first-class strong army in the world, even if it is not as good as the armies of Western powers, but it is not far behind. But after fighting with the Imperial Chinese Army, he realized that he had been sitting in a well and watching the sky before. The strength of the army of the Chinese Empire was too strong. It is much stronger than the Qing army.

Theon's expression darkened. He knew that what Yixiang said was the truth. It's not that the Qing army is too weak, but that their enemies are too strong! The Qing army has done its best, but it is still no match for the Chinese Imperial Army, what else can be done? If the Manchu Qing had been able to organize and train a new army a few years earlier, perhaps they would have wiped out the rebels in the south long ago, and where would they have fallen to the current state?

"General, have we been in contact with the Imperial Court? Where did the reinforcements from the Russians go? When will I be able to get to Shengjing? Yixiang asked. Rely on the words of the Qing army alone. If you want to hold Shengjing, it is already impossible. Only by relying on the Russians can they do it, and this is already their last hope. Yixiang has already taken the Russians as their lifeline.

"The imperial court has replied, they have rushed the Russian side. The Russians said their troops had already set out from Irkutsk. However, from Irkutsk to Shengjing, it is thousands of miles, and even if the reinforcements sent by the Russians are cavalry, they will not be able to catch up without ten days and half a month. The imperial court did not give a word of approval, but only told us that it was estimated that it would be four or five days before the Russians could arrive. General Sheen said. Even at this time, the imperial court did not ask them to retreat, which was obviously treating them as outcasts. This made Sheen very uncomfortable. As a child of the clan, he worked hard for the Qing Dynasty all his life, and finally fell into the current field, which made him feel very uncomfortable. Of course, if he puts himself in his shoes, he can still understand the imperial court.

"Four or five days left?" Yixiang was stunned. Judging from the current situation, the Qing army could not hold out for even two days, let alone four or five days. It is estimated that if the Russians rushed to Shengjing, Shengjing would have already fallen, and they could only collect their corpses.

"Yixiang, do your best! If it really doesn't work, there's no way around it. We are born as people of the Qing Dynasty, and we are ghosts of the Qing Dynasty when we die, even if we fight with the rebels to the end, we can't do anything worthy of our ancestors and ancestors. Sheen said. He knew that Yixiang had some careful thoughts, so he took this opportunity to remind Yixiang of the situation. They were the children of the Manchu clan, and they would never be able to surrender.

"Yes, General. I know that I will never disgrace my ancestors! Yixiang replied solemnly.

The fierce fighting in Shengjing City continued, and after the Imperial Army invaded Shengjing City, the resistance of the Qing army did not stop, but became more resolute. In the 19th Army, the number of bannermen was quite large, much higher than that of other armies. Because the main force of this army was originally the young and strong in the northeast. The Manchu officials declared to them that if they were defeated, the Chinese Empire would sell them all to Nanyang as slaves, and they would die in the mines every day until they were all exhausted. Their families will also suffer as a result, the men will become slaves of the Chinese Empire, and the women will be sold to the Qinglou. Therefore, these Qing soldiers fought very hard, which also caused a lot of damage to the imperial army. However, on the whole, the Qing army was still unable to resist the attack of the imperial army, they continued to retreat under the attack of the imperial army, and the control area of the imperial army in Shengjing City was also increasing step by step. Of course, the buildings in Shengjing City were basically in ruins.

The Imperial Army was completely fighting with the Qing army for every house, every street, and even every ruin in Shengjing City. Some important areas even have to go through repeated battles to determine the final ownership. Of course, the Qing army paid an unimaginable price for this. The Qing army, which died under the heavy machine guns and mortars of the Imperial Army, does not know how much. In addition, the snipers of the Imperial Army also achieved fruitful results. In the battle on the day of the invasion of Shengjing, one of the snipers of the Imperial Army who achieved the most results shot and killed a full 78 Qing officers and soldiers, half of whom were junior officers, and the highest was a regimental commander of the Qing army.

Although the Qing army is still stubbornly resisting in Shengjing City, on the whole, they are just doing the last trapped beast fight. The 17th Brigade and the 35th Brigade of the 17th Army of the Imperial Army, and the 14th Brigade and the 32nd Brigade of the 14th Army of the Imperial Army successively attacked the city of Shengjing and began to gradually clear the Qing army in the city. It is expected that in another two or three days, the Qing army in the city will be wiped out.

In October, Guangzhou is still a hot summer, unlike the northern part of the country, which has already entered autumn. In the Imperial General Staff, the staff officers were very busy, and the news coming back from all over the front line needed to be summarized so that the military top brass and His Majesty the Emperor could judge and make decisions. In addition, various information obtained by the intelligence officers of the Military Intelligence Bureau is also sent after screening. The reason why the Imperial Army was able to defeat the Qing army on the battlefield was due to the military intelligence bureau. Without their intelligence support, the Imperial Army would have paid an even greater price.

A telegram from the Mongolian steppe was delivered to the desk of Lieutenant General Luo Hongtao, director of the Military Intelligence Bureau. After Lieutenant General Luo Hongtao saw it, his face suddenly changed greatly. Even greet the adjutant, and then rush to the General Staff in a carriage. After the war began, Emperor Long Yufei spent most of his time in the General Staff.

"Your Majesty, Chief of Staff, Director Luo is here, and I have something urgent to report." Major General Li Hu, the chief of the guard, said to Long Yufei.

"Oh? Let him in. Long Yufei had just finished listening to the report of General Niu Meng, Chief of the General Staff. Now all fronts are progressing very well, and he is very satisfied.

Soon, Lieutenant General Luo Hongtao, who was tired on his face, walked in.

"See Majesty." After Luo Hongtao came in, he respectfully saluted Long Yufeifei.

"No courtesy, in extraordinary times, you don't need to pay attention to these etiquette. Director Luo, what's going on? Long Yufei asked directly. He knew that Luo Hongtao personally came to tell him that something big must have happened.

"Your Majesty, our intelligence officers in Eastern Siberia report that a large number of Russian troops have left Irkutsk and are heading south. The specific number is more than 200,000 people. Of these, the number of cavalry exceeded 100,000 people! Lieutenant General Luo Hongtao said.

"What? So many people? Long Yufei's face suddenly turned pale. The Imperial Army had gained the upper hand in the war with the Manchus. However, now that the Russians have suddenly intervened, it is very likely that this war will be uncertain.

"Your Majesty, according to the intelligence officers, before this, there were more than 20,000 Russian cavalry who set off first. Their target, most likely, is Mukden. Lieutenant General Luo Hongtao continued.

"Your Majesty, now the battle of Shengjing has reached a critical time, our army has broken into Shengjing and is solving the enemy in the city, if the Russians intervene, I am afraid it will bring us trouble." General Niu Meng, Chief of the General Staff, said.

"Director Luo, pay close attention to the movements of the Russians. The chief of staff, sent a telegram to the Shengjing front, asking them to speed up the progress of the battle and deal with the Qing army in Shengjing before the Russians arrived. Also, prepare to defend against the attack of the Russians! Long Yufei commanded with a cold face. (To be continued......)
