Chapter 588 Armistice
The solid Tomsk bastion was once again blasted by the artillery of the Pioneering Regiment to create a gap. The entire bastion has been repaired and repaired. It no longer feels indestructible, but looks crumbling. It depends on when the Pioneering Regiment wants to Really conquer the Tomsk Bastion.

The 3000 Tsarist Russian Far East Corps was repulsed by a wave of counterattacks by the pioneer regiment and the Mobei cavalry in the Battle of Tomsk, losing more than [-] people. Now it has retreated to the west of the Tomsk Castle, and only dared to watch the Tomsk edge The fort was attacked by the pioneer group and did not dare to support it.

Yakovlev then led thousands of people to sneak attack on the frontier regiment's position, and was repelled by the frontier regiment's machine gun positions again, leaving hundreds of corpses in vain.

As the days passed, Grand Duke Dolgoluki, Yakovlev, Xinla and other Russian commanders were at a loss.They couldn't beat the Tomsk Pioneering Regiment, nor could they save the Tomsk Bastion.They did not dare to go south to support the Zhungeer Basin, because they were afraid that the pioneer group would capture the Tomsk Bastion immediately after they went south, blocking their escape route to the north, and then they would be blocked in the Jungar Basin. The danger of total annihilation.

"Grand Duke Dolgoluki, you have been looking at the sky for three days, what countermeasures do you have? The longer we stay on the Ob River, the more unfavorable the war in Europe will be for us." Yakovlev was a little tired , because of thinking about countermeasures all day, his eyes became red.

"If I had a countermeasure, I wouldn't have to stand here in a daze." Grand Duke Dolgoluki shook his head.

"So you don't have any ideas yet?" Cossack leader Xin La walked over.

The three of them stared at the endless blue sky in a daze. Even such a beautiful view could not calm their helplessness and depression.

In the second year of Kyushu, that is, in 1632 AD, 6 Tsarist-Russian allied forces stayed in the upper reaches of the Ob River until June, and withdrew to the west bank of the Ob River before the river's water surged to prevent them from being overwhelmed before the flood season of the Ob River. The pioneer group that was smaller than his own was wiped out.

The Tomsk bastion on the east bank of the Ob River was isolated and helpless, and the defenders inside were about to cry because their food was about to run out.If the food is eaten up, it will really be caught in the urn.

What’s more frustrating to the Cossacks guarding Tomsk is that the Kyushu Army is not allowed to surrender, but they have never made any moves despite being able to take down the riddled Tomsk Bastion. The chess pieces made by the Tsarist Russian Far Eastern Corps were tasteless and a pity to discard.

However, the war between the two sides continued until June.At the end of May, when the news of the elimination of the Yarkand Khanate came, the hearts of the 6 Tsarist Russian Corps were floating. In June, the news of the failure of the defenders in the Zhungeer Basin completely shattered the confidence of the Tsarist Russian Corps.The garrison composed of more than a thousand Tsarist Russian soldiers in the Jungar Basin, tens of thousands of Kazakh Khanate troops, and some locally captured young men was defeated by the Liaodong Cavalry Corps and the Mobei Cavalry Corps, and was finally annihilated in the Ili River Valley.

If it weren't for the Liaodong Cavalry Corps and the Mobei Cavalry Corps, they didn't carry enough artillery in order to quickly assault the Jungar Basin, and the Jungar Basin would have been taken by the Kyushu Army long ago.

After receiving information from the Tsarist Russian army in the Jungar Basin, Grand Duke Dolgoluki, Yakovlev and others were silent for a while, then asked the Kyushu Army for a truce, and then asked the Tsar and the Patriarch for instructions.

In July 1632, the Tsar and the Patriarch responded to the request of the Tsarist Russian Corps and agreed to sign an armistice treaty with the Kyushu Army.The Kyushu Army also agreed to the Tsarist Russian Corps' request for peace because they had achieved the second-stage combat objectives.The two sides agreed to sign an armistice treaty at the Tomsk Bastion.

Three days before the signing of the Armistice Treaty, the Kazakh Khanate Yangir Khan also announced to join the Armistice Treaty, so the armistice treaty originally established between the Kyushu Army and the Tsarist Russian Empire became an armistice signed by the Tsarist Russian Empire, the Kazakh Khanate, and the Kyushu Army. treaty.

At the end of July, Yangir Khan of the Kazakh Khanate brought people to Tomsk to join Grand Duke Dolgoluki.The Mobei Corps and Liaodong Corps of the Kyushu Army also came to Tomsk from the Jungar Basin.

Now Tomsk has brought together armies from four forces-including Baltu of Zhungeer and numerous transport troops, with a number of more than 8.Probably the entire Tomsk bastion did not witness the mass gathering of [-] people.

"Yangier Khan, I heard that you went east to support Dorgon, and you were almost captured by the eastern army twice." Grand Duke Dolgoluki asked the unlucky Yangier Khan.

"One time was when I was ambushed by their cavalry in Urumqi and I was almost caught. Another time was when I was defeated in the Ili River Valley not long ago." Yang Jierhan did not shy away from talking about these two things. It's no use even hiding it.Moreover, the Tsarist-Russian coalition forces led by Grand Duke Dolgoluki may not be much more prosperous than Yang Jierhan, and both sides suffered a big loss from the Kyushu Army.

"Is the loss heavy?" Grand Duke Dolgoluki asked.

"The whole family has been wiped out. If there is not a strong cavalry unit remaining in the Khanate, I am afraid that the predictable rebels in the Khanate will rise up and overthrow me. Alas, I really regret why I trusted you, come on Shouldn't we go to the powerful and mysterious east to find it?" Yang Jierhan became more and more depressed as he thought about it.

He lost more than 1 cavalry in the Jungar Basin, and the losses of horses, cattle and sheep are even more numerous!

"What I am worried about is not the losses that have occurred now, but how we will face the rise of a powerful eastern dynasty." Grand Duke Dolgoluki accompanied Yangier Khan to the Tomsk Fortress.

"A powerful eastern dynasty... We can only pray that they will not continue to expand to the west." Yang Jierhan was afraid for a while, "If they don't go west, I swear that our Kazakh Khanate will never set foot in the east again forever. .”

Dorgon next to the many big shots has been silent all the time. Having lost his only chance to come back, he has no strength to intervene. However, when the two sides talked about whether the Kyushu Army will go west, he still couldn't help reminding: "If it was before The Central Plains Dynasty, maybe they will not continue to expand to the west, because now it is the limit they can control, and they lack aggressiveness. But now the strength of the Kyushu Army is unmatched by all previous dynasties, and they are still advancing at an incredible speed As it grows, it will definitely be continued westward."

"If they continue to march west, why did they agree to sign an armistice treaty with us at this time?" Grand Duke Dolgoluki asked.

"The reason is very simple. They prepared in a hurry to start this war, and now they have no ability to continue to fight westward. Once they are given enough time to prepare, the next time will be a repeat of Genghis Khan's Western Expedition." Dorgon Hei Said with a straight face.
