"God! Chinese people are all devils! Their weapons are too advanced and they are not something we can resist. △￠Escape quickly, it will be too late to be too late!" Countless Russian troops began to flee. They were different from the regular army. They were just serfs who had just put down their hoes for not long. At the call of His Majesty the Tsar, they joined the army. However, the cruelty of the battlefield scared them to pieces.

The Russian army's escape soon turned into a large-scale defeat. Whether it was Orenburg, Uralsk, or Uralsk, or the Ural Mountains in the north, they were affected. Countless Russian troops gave up their positions and began to flee westward. The national interests were already left behind by them, and what they wanted now was to save their lives. Although many of them did not know that this was just a temporary escape, and soon the Chinese army would catch up and destroy them.

Even if they can escape this time, when the entire Russia falls under the control of the Chinese Empire, these Russians still have nowhere to escape.

"Marrior, the Chinese have attacked Orenburg, we need to retreat immediately. Otherwise, it will be too late." Duke Barryatinski rushed into Earl Berg's office and said to him with an anxious face.

At this time, Earl Berg had no eyes and seemed to have completely lost confidence.

"Those timid guys. They ruined Russia! They ruined Russia's hope!" Earl Berg cursed. His Majesty the Tsar held on for a week, only half of it had passed. The Russian army was defeated. How did Earl Berg explain to His Majesty the Tsar?

"Marson, it's not the time to say this. Retreat immediately! The Chinese are about to call!" said Duke Barryingsky.

"Retreat? Can we escape? The defeated Russian army has no way to resist the Chinese attack." Earl Berg looked disappointed and desperate. Originally, he was already making an orderly retreat plan. However, all this was ruined.

"Marson Marshal!" Duke Barryatinski wanted to persuade him, but he waved his hand and stopped him from continuing. Obviously, under such a blow, Count Berg had completely lost confidence.

"Duke Barryatinski, you are still young. You should leave quickly and go to Volga to take charge of the overall situation! As for me, as the loser of this battle, I need to take responsibility for failure!" Earl Berg looked pale. He knew that even if he escaped smoothly, the angry Tsar Alexander II would definitely not let him go. At that time, being hanged will become his last destination. He did not want this to be like this.

Earl Bariatinski's face looked very ugly. He understood what Earl Berg meant. There was no doubt that Earl Berg was completely desperate. This directly led to Earl Berg's lack of hope for life.

"Go away quickly, Duke Baryatinsky, Russia needs a young general like you. Fight for Russia's future. And I will bear all the responsibility for this failure!" Earl Berg, who had already had a desire to die, seemed to no longer care about these things.

"Okay. Marshal, please take care of yourself!" Duke Barryatinski nodded, turned around and left with great strides.

Shortly after Duke Barryatinski left, crisp gunshots rang out in the command center. Earl Berg committed suicide with his own gun. He needed to take responsibility for this miserable defeat.

On April 11, Orenburg was occupied by the Imperial Army. The next day, Uralsk also fell into the control of the Imperial Army. The Russian defense line was completely torn apart by the Imperial Army. After breaking through the Russian defense line, the Imperial Army began to pursue the defeated Russian army. At this moment, the Russian army had already lost its fighting spirit. Once caught up by the Imperial Army, they often chose to surrender to the Imperial Army rather than fight to the end.

Of course, there are also people who choose to resist. However, that is only a very small number of people. Most Russian soldiers still value their lives very seriously. Otherwise, they would not have fled directly on the battlefield.

"Chief of Staff, the 1st Army surrounded a Russian army of more than 100,000 people, and is trying to annihilate it!"

"The 2nd Army is attacking westward and has now advanced to Sorochinsk!"

Good news came one after another. After the Russian defense line was torn apart, a large number of fleeing Russian troops became the target of the Imperial Army's full pursuit. In order not to be gathered up, it became an obstacle to continuing to fight against the Empire. The imperial army must find ways to eliminate as much vitality as possible from the Russian army.

"Order the 7th Army and the 10th Army to immediately attack northwest and intercept the Russian army's retreat." General Sun Hao looked at the map and issued an order. Uralsk is located in the southwest of Orenburg. If the Imperial Army marched northwest from Uralsk, it would be possible to intercept the Russian army retreating from Orenburg.

"Yes, Chief of Staff!" The communication officer immediately went to convey the order. Because the Imperial Army kept ushering in good news, although these officers were unable to personally take the front line, they were also full of energy.

Under the pursuit of the Imperial Army, the Russian army suffered heavy losses. Especially when the Imperial Army's 7th Army, the 10th Army and the 2nd Army were surrounded, more than 300,000 Russian troops were surrounded by the Imperial Army. After being surrounded, these Russian troops chose to resist at the beginning. However, soon after they found that there was no hope of breaking through, they finally chose to surrender to the Imperial Army.

After a large number of Russian soldiers surrendered to the Imperial Army, in order to accommodate these surrendered Russian soldiers, the Imperial Army changed to send troops to set up temporary prisoners of war camps. When the subsequent troops arrived, these surrendered Russian soldiers would be sent to the Western Siberian plains and the Kazakh grasslands. The railway planned by the Imperial Ministry of Transport has begun to be built and requires a large amount of labor. These Russian troops can come in handy.

With the advent of April, St. Petersburg, the capital of Russia, has entered spring. However, due to the disastrous defeat on the front line, the entire St. Petersburg now seems to be shrouded in the cold winter. Pedestrians on the streets are coming and going. A large brigade of soldiers are patrolling the streets. Because of the disastrous defeat of the army, some rebels have also begun to move.

Two days ago, the police station in St. Petersburg cracked a case of conspiracy and riots. The furious Tsar Alexander II directly ordered all the people who conspired to rebel to be executed. At least more than fifty people were hanged in the square outside the Hermitage, and the gallows were erected high, like woods.

"Duke Gorchakov, how many people can we withdraw from the front line?" Tsar Alexander II's face was as dark as the bottom of a pot. Although he had known before that the Ula Mountains and the Ural River defense line were unreliable, it was inevitable to give up this line. However, the defense line was completely destroyed so quickly and the Russian army even fled, which was beyond his expectations.

"Your Majesty, you cannot get an accurate figure yet. However, according to our estimates, there will be about one million troops that can retreat to the Volga defense line." said the Duke of Gorchakov.

Marshal Wittgenstein, chief of the Russian General Staff, opened his mouth, and what he wanted to say had already reached his mouth. But he swallowed it back in the end. Previously, the Russian General Staff predicted that the troops that could withdraw from the front line this time would probably be about 500,000 troops to withdraw from the front line. However, when Duke Gorchakov reported to Tsar Alexander II, it doubled. Isn't this deceiving His Majesty the Tsar?

Of course, Marshal Wittgenstein could understand it. If he told Alexander II that the two million troops on the front line could only withdraw 500,000, he would probably go crazy!

"One million people? Our two million troops can only return one million. With these troops, can we defend the Volga defense line?" Alexander II frowned.

"Your Majesty, I suggest that one million people who are being trained will be transferred to the Volga River defense line. In this way, the troops we deploy on the Volga River defense line will exceed two million. The Volga River is wider than the Ural River, and now it is entering the flood season one after another. It is not so easy for the Chinese to break through the Volga River." said the Duke of Gorchakov.

"But those troops have not completed their training at all. Even if they are not equipped with enough weapons and equipment, they will be sent to the battlefield, so they will die!" Alexander II frowned. In Russia, the Tsar was called the little father by the Russians. The main reason was the Russians' love for the Tsar. Of course, this was also because the Tsar was also very kind to the people. Therefore, Alexander II was obviously unwilling to let those troops that had not completed their training go to the battlefield.

"Your Majesty, we can train our troops to the Volga River defense line while training. This will not be delayed!" Marshal Wittgenstein also said.

Alexander II hesitated for a moment and nodded.

After transferring one million new recruits who had not completed training to the Volga defense line, the Russian army deployed more than one.5 million troops on the Volga defense line. In addition to the 500,000 and 600,000 retreated from the front line, the Russian army deployed more than two million troops on the Volga River line.

Although the combat effectiveness of the Russian army has declined. However, Tsar Alexander II and a group of Russian army leaders believe that the Volga River will become a natural barrier in front of the Chinese, blocking them from further advancing westward.
