Liu Changlin had a good plan. Swallowed t

While Sharabrak taught Petrovsky and his hungry Tsarist Russian ghosts, Ren Huabang had long been on guard against Petrovsky, the old ghost, who would retreat when he had no choice but to do anything. Therefore, Ren Huabang not only arranged a warning force in advance on the north bank of the Emin River, west of Sharabrak, but also stared at the every move of Petrovsky, the old ghost.

On the night of December 29, the news of a major change in the camp of hungry ghosts of Tsarabrak, which had been built far away in the city of Sarabrak, as soon as the news came, Ren Huabang concluded that this must be that the old ghost Petrovsky was really starting to flee west.

Similar to Liu Changlin in Ergetu, Ren Huabang did not immediately have to follow Petrovsky's butt to pursue Petrovsky. Instead, after briefly discussing with his first division commander Han Qifeng, he personally led more than a thousand cavalry of the military secret service regiment. He seemed to have no doubt where Petrovsky was running. He just rushed north for more than ten miles until he crossed the frozen Emin River, and then turned westward and pointed west along the north bank of the Emin River.

Petrovsky "quietly" left the sad Sharablak, and after plunging into the vast sea of ​​sand, there was a way for escape that was more conducive to the hungry ghost army that he was currently. That is, he should first advance northward, break through the sand sea that is only twenty or thirty miles deep, cross the Emin River, and then follow the edge of the desert to move towards Yaer (Zhaofeng City) in the northwest direction.

But Petrov did not dare to leave like this.

It is estimated that in his opinion, although walking like this is more suitable for his team that has been overwhelmed, it is also more risky. Because along the way, he not only has to pass by Sharablak, but also faces threats from Bucktu.

Petrovsky was very realistic. Now he knew very well that he and his defeated generals could no longer withstand any blows.

So, as soon as Petrov took his hungry ghosts and left Sharablak, he had to "run" westward. He wanted to meet with the troops withdrawn by Ergetu first, and then stick to the right bank of Tugulechi and advance northward.

The purpose of Petrovsky doing this is actually very simple.

First, the strength of the army that was withdrawn from Sharablak can be strengthened, and the effect of joining together to keep warm; second, the army can also avoid the attacks of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom as much as possible.

But Petrovsky forgot that his officers and soldiers who were tortured by hunger and wished that they could even pounce on them for a bite, could not afford the kind of favor given to them by the desert.

From the picnic place where the Tsarist Russian hungry ghosts once had outside the city of Sharablak to the Tugule Pond, it was actually only a mere 40 or 50 miles away. Unfortunately, even though it was only 40 or 50 miles away, Petrovsky and his hungry ghosts fought desperately for a long time, but they were unable to walk the entire journey.

Petrovsky hated them, and he hated them with his teeth, how could it be so blind. How could it be that time was so short? Because the sky was already bright, he not only hadn't seen what Tugulechi looked like, but he didn't even see the shadow of the group of people who should have been removed from Ergetu.

In fact, for the hungry Tsarist Russian ghosts commanded by Petrovsky, sitting in place waiting to be beaten by the Red Army of the Celestial Dynasty is even more comfortable than running away.

But Petrovsky, who was almost desperate, gradually realized that he was still very lucky after calming down. Because, after all, there has not been any sign of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom's army catching up.

So Petrovsky cheered up and took his group of people to take a step and wanted to shake it three times. After walking ten meters and eight meters, there would be a few more hungry ghost warriors who were about to fall down. They gritted their teeth and continued their arduous and long journey.

It was not until the sun hanging above his head that Petrovsky finally took a sip of the sweet lake water of Tugule Pool, and finally saw the same embarrassing team of people who came from Ergetu.

When the fellow villagers saw that they were crying, the hungry Tsarist Russian ghosts who gathered again at this time were even more heartbroken.

Looking around, the original Omsk Legion, which was so heroic and domineering, had long been no longer in glory. The rest were all scumbags who were so hungry that they would sweat a little when they moved. They would even shake their bodies into a group of beggars.

During the whole day, plus more than half a night, not only did it take less than fifty miles in total, but it also lost nearly one-fifth of the soldiers and generals.

But this is just the beginning after all. If you continue to move on, what will it look like?

Petrovsky really didn't even dare to think about it.

There is no other way, if you want to continue to survive, there is only one way to go

So, on this night on December 30, 1857, under the devil director Petrovsky, a thrilling drama was staged on the east coast of Tugule Pool.

First, people's begging and tragic crying sounded one after another, resounding through the night sky on the east bank of Tugule Pool, and then people's hearts and pains were endless.

Amid these creepy sounds, the already withered Tsarist Russian soldiers and old and weak were slaughtered one by one as cattle and sheep. Then, their bodies became pieces of meat strips that were skewed on guns and baked on fire...

After eating and drinking, the hungry ghosts of Tsarist Russia were indeed regained their vitality in an instant, just as Petrovsky imagined.

The next day, Petrovsky led his remaining more than 10,000 officers and soldiers who could be called elite men. In just half a day, he ran for more than thirty miles in the sea of ​​sand.

Petrovsky looked up at the sky and saw that it was another good weather.

In the clear sky at noon, the sun was radiating its dazzling light generously on the earth, which also made Petrovsky, who had been so heartbroken for many days, feel a trace of warmth that is rare.

The Emin River is ahead. As long as you don’t encounter the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom’s army here, you can safely cross the Emin River. He and his Tsar’s warriors can continue to trek to the northwest with the “barbecue” they carry on their backs, and cross the Yaer River and reach Yaer.

When Petrovsky thought of this, he couldn't help but think of the Colonel Chernyev and Consul Tatalinov who were still in the city of Tarbachtai, looking forward to his rescue.

Alas, when I think about it now, I am really lucky that Chernyev and Tatalinov, two good people who have been persisting in Tarbhatai City. If it weren't for the existence of this, he would have been able to restrain a large number of Taipingtian teams, then now he would have become the old turtle in the jail of Taipingtian teams.

Don't worry, Chernyev, Tatalinov, the future is long, sooner or later, I, Petrovsky, will avenge you two Tsar heroes

Thinking of this, Petrovsky turned his gaze from the direction of Tarbachtai City and resolutely turned back. Looking at Eminhe, who was shining with ice in the sun, a hint of smug smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
