But he was wrong. As soon as he arrived in Petropavlovsk, he heard that the Shileka shipyard was attacked by the Chinese, and nearly a thousand soldiers and civilians were slaughtered. Next, the imperial army expedition on the east bank of the Amur River was attacked one after another by the Chinese. They had excellent weapons, abundant ammunition, and even more mysterious and unpredictable. Any imperial army operating outside seemed to be hit by a fatal blow at any time.

Gradually, the expansion and exploration activities of the empire had to stop gradually. All the imperial people were huddled in the built castle and were in panic all day long.

What is even more unexpected is that a few days ago, someone discovered a powerful family badge from Petersburg. The family badge was on a broken carriage. There were several guards who were shot dead near the carriage.

Colonel Romanov immediately knew that this was his fiancée. He was originally going to invite her to participate in the Amur River, which the Chinese call Heilongjiang. But who knew that the war was getting worse and worse. He had already written a letter to Petersburg to warn. However, judging from the decay of the bodies of the killed guards, she should have left Petersburg before the Battle of Shileka River, otherwise she would not have brought only a few guards on the road.

Romanov immediately knew that his fiancée must have been captured by the Chinese to Aihui City, the residence of the Chinese marshal who made the people of the Far Eastern Empire tremble.

Thinking of his fiancée falling into the hands of the Chinese, Romanov woke up in a nightmare almost every night. He knew that if he did not look like a man, he would never be able to raise his head in front of his father for the rest of his life.

It was because he disobeyed the strict orders of Governor Muraviyok, assembled his army, and prepared to fight to the death with the Chinese. The Cossack warriors, the imperial soldiers who had been in the castle for a long time, immediately heard a roar of shocking cheers and roars. Thinking of the inspiring moment, Romanov was still excited now.

Turning his head and looking at the soldiers sleeping in groups of guns beside him, Romanov suddenly thought, what if he led them to death?

No, no. Romanov shook his head and tried his best to get rid of this frustrating and frightening thought.

Suddenly, shouts around were shaking the sky, horns, and the drums unique to the Chinese, and the sound of iron tools hitting the gongs, which made Romanov stand up suddenly. The night was dark and there was no way to see the situation around him.

"Prepare for the battle!" The soldiers ran back and forth, occupying the shooting terrain. The officers shouted loudly to assemble the soldiers. Romanov also drew out his short musket and lie on the mound. Some soldiers were already firing.

However, the Chinese people's tide of offensives did not arrive as expected, and the sound of horns and gongs and drums gradually subsided.

"Sentinel!" An officer shouted loudly, asking the sentry to reconnaissance, but soon there was a bang of gunfire sound from below. Several sentinels escaped in a panic, while the other sentinels were lying in the snow forever.

"Sir, let's go out!" Cossack warrior Doroshenko rode on the war horse. But Romanov's cautious character told himself how unwise it is to charge against unknown threats in the dark.

"Wait for dawn!" Romanov gave the death order.

The sound of horns, gongs and drums seem to ring suddenly every quarter of an hour. The noise made by the Chinese is so harsh that the depressing people can't breathe. But even though they know that the Chinese are harassing war, but when they think that they are close to the Chinese, who can sleep?

The dawn gradually came, and when we finally saw the Chinese people hundreds or thousands of meters away, Romanov was stunned. Long trenches were dug out on the east, south and west sides. All the Chinese hid in the trenches and could only see the muzzle that stretched out in the black holes outside the trenches. Romanov then realized that the Chinese were so cunning. The noisy that night was not just harassing them, but to dig trenches as cover.

"Sir, let's rush north!" Doroshenko also discovered that there were only trenches in the north without Chinese people.

Romanov's mind went blank and he was surrounded for no reason, and the other party waited for him to charge.

North? Romanov would not believe that the cunning Chinese would let them return to the castle safely. In the north, there must be more dangerous traps waiting for them.

Let’s look at the edges of the trench on both sides of the east and west. Such extremely ancient equipment, combined with musketeers, can give the cavalry the greatest blow.

Romanov's eyes gradually became firmer, and he pointed to the south from afar and shouted: "Doroshenko! Let's go to the Chinese Aihui City to be a guest! OK?"

Doroshenko touched his brown beard, and his brown eyes burst out with a strange color, and he raised his cold waist knife high: "Colsack warriors! Aihui City is right in front! Let our horse hooves step across the short Chinese bodies, and let our long sword cut off their strange braids! Warriors! Get on the horse!"

"Ula!" The Cossack cavalry raised their long swords, and the carbine cheered loudly.

"Attack!" Doroshenko pointed his waist knife forward suddenly, grabbed the horse's belly, rushed out first, and immediately the Cossack cavalry rolled out like a whirlwind, bringing up a flying snow.

"Bang bang bang bang bang" The gunshots were so dense, dense and deafening, just like a cannon roaring. A dense crowd of heads suddenly appeared on the positions of the Chinese in the south. The guns were fired. The Cossack cavalry fell off the horses one by one like puppets. Some war horses were even shot and fell down. They threw the horses out of the horses, and were stepped on by countless horse hooves from behind.

The Cossack cavalry who rushed in the front fell one by one, but continued to move forward and get closer to the Chinese position.

"Roar!" Romanov finally issued the order for general attack. Imperial soldiers and Cossack infantry warriors rushed out like a tide. The Chinese firearms shot farther, but if they could rush closer to conduct hand-to-hand combat, they would definitely defeat the Chinese army.

A few war horses were about to reach the trench, and suddenly a bunch of civilians dressed in Chinese positions appeared on the Chinese position. They heard that they were called "Changfu". Countless wooden and iron-bound shelves were pushed against the edge of the trench. The horses that rushed to the front were not as fast as possible. They hit the wooden shelves with "bang bang", threw the horse knight out and threw it to the other side of the trench. Doroshenko was also among them. He had just struggled to get up, and he was immediately shot into the chest and a few blood holes burst out. However, he seemed to have no sense. He swung the steel knife into the trench and slashed the head of a soldier in half with one knife. Then four or five bayonets were inserted into his body, and he swayed down.

This Cossack butcher, who was said to have performed more than a hundred people in Chinese border residents, left so strongly.

"Bang bang bang", the gunshots became increasingly dense.

Finally, Romanov felt something was wrong. It was impossible for the Chinese to ambush around but there were so many musketeers gathered on one side, but they were afraid that there would be one or two thousand musketeers in the trenches in the south.

Unfortunately, it was too late, and the dense volleyball ferry seemed to not stop. When the Cossack cavalry team was left with dozens of bare war horses and fled without targets, the muskets began to attack the charging infantry. It was obvious that the dense infantry rushing behind was easier to aim than the running Cossack cavalry.
