Chapter 1170 Cannibalism
In the Battle of Huiyuan, the defeated coalition forces ran wildly towards Almaty, 700 miles away.
Almaty is located in an artificial irrigation oasis on the banks of the small Almatinka River on the northern foot of the outer Yili Altao Mountains. The terrain is gentle and there is no danger to guard. It is a small town with low walls and dilapidated walls.
However, Yang Jir Khan, who learned that the coalition forces were defeated, first fainted on the spot and was rescued by a doctor, hurriedly ordered the coalition commander Golovin to gather the coalition forces to set up formations in Almaty and block the enemy from outside the country's borders.
In fact, Yang Jirhando said that the coalition forces would also run to Almaty. After all, other places around are Gobi deserts. If the supplies are lost, isn’t it seeking death?
In this way, more than ten days after the war, the remnants of the coalition forces arrived in Almaty one after another, and everyone was like a beggar.
It is not easy to run along the way. They were ruthlessly attacked by the Longwu Army who was tracing the back road and were chased overnight. It can be said that those who can come back alive are talents with unique skills!
However, the generals of the coalition forces fought on their own, defending their own territory, and were not subordinate to each other, and Golovin had no choice but to deal with these generals.
As the commander of the coalition forces, he has lost his prestige and no one takes him seriously.
The reason why everyone is still staying in Almaty is that as long as they want to make a living, they can wait for the orders of the domestic monarch to return to China safely.
After all, this is the territory of the Kazakh Khan. Only by temporarily serving as a security guard for Yangjir Khan can people provide food and accommodation.
In this way, Sharukh, the chief general of the Bukhara Khanate, suffered.
The Emirs of Sharukh had no relationship with the generals of Almaty. In the battle of Huiyuan, the Bukhara army suffered the most losses, and the cavalry under their command ran the fastest.
Now, Sharukh has only more than 2,000 people left. In addition, he ran away at a critical moment during the war, and the generals of various countries look down on him at all!
When the defense zone was being drawn, these arrogant generals pushed Sharuh around, and no one was willing to pay attention to him.
Sharuh was like a stray dog in Almaty, with nowhere to camp and was so eyebrowed.
However, this guy was somewhat backbone. In anger, he rushed to the gate of the coalition commander Gorovin with more than 2,000 troops.
Gorovin was defeated and was chased by the cavalry of the Longwu Army. It was the time when the wind and cranes were full of soldiers. When he heard the shouts from the gates, he thought the Ming army was chasing again. He was so scared that he jumped onto the war horse and was about to escape.
Fortunately, the Russian chief general Khabarov was quite calm and stopped the old leader Golovin, so he did not make a joke.
Gorovin sent someone to the gate to ask, and then he realized that Sharukh was a reckless man who wanted a defense zone. Then he breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly ordered Sharukh's troops to station in the north gate.
The defense zone was a place where you could live. Golovin cut him off the north gate. Sharukh was overjoyed and hurriedly took his men to take over.

As a result, as soon as he arrived at the North Gate, he realized that he had been fooled by Goloven!
Because the North Gate is the territory of the Russian army, Khabarov is also responsible for it!
At the celebration banquet that captured Suiding City, Khabarov had a fierce conflict with Sharukh due to toasting issues, and almost caused a life.
In the end, Commander Gorovin apologized and slapped his subordinates in the face, which calmed down the chaos.
Khabarov was discredited by Sharukh in public and was slapped by the old leader again. This account has always been kept in mind.
Now that Sharuh has arrived on his territory, will there be good fruits to eat?
So, Khabarov began to find fault on the first day. He arranged Sharukh's men in a fortress outside the north gate, and his Russian army stationed at the north gate.
The North Gate was the only channel for the supply of food and grass by Sharukh's troops, so Khabarov easily cut off Sharukh's logistics supplies.
Since ancient times, those who control logistics have been masters. During the Chongzhen Dynasty, civil servants controlled the logistics department of the Ming army. A small civil servant of the sixth and seventh rank dared to shout at the second-rank general, which shows the tragic tragedy of Mingmen being accused.
Sharukh's troops had fun for three days, and then found that the food was out of stock, so he sent someone to ask Khabarov for food.
Khabarov agreed on the surface and said he would deliver food immediately, but he had been waiting for two days and had not moved yet.
Sharukh knew that it was Khabarov who was making trouble, but he had no choice but to send troops to raise grain near Almaty.
However, Golovin had already ordered the walls to clear the fields, and all the herdsmen fifty miles outside Almaty city ran away, with no cattle or sheep and no grain!
The troops have no food, let alone war, it would be good if there was no whistle. The breakup was the basic operation.
Sharukh naturally did not want to be the commander of the bare commander and returned home naked. Moreover, he was a fearless master. He actually attacked the Russian army's grain warehouse on the spot. Not only did he move all the grain in the grain warehouse into his camp, but even the Russian sentry guarding the grain warehouse were tied up and packaged and thrown into the grain warehouse.
When Khabarov heard this, he was furious and ordered the Russian army to surround Sharukh's garrison, and within half an hour, Sharukh handed over the battalion officers who attacked the grain warehouse and beheaded and displayed!
Sharukh had food and was full of energy. Not only did he not waste Khabarov, he also ordered the Bukhara army to enter the state of war, pointing his gun at the Russian army, and he was as if he had the ability to attack me.
Unexpectedly, half an hour later, Khabarov was indeed convinced and acted seriously. The Russian army relied on the large crowds to launch an attack on the Bukhara camp outside the city, while Sharukh ordered a counterattack without hesitation.
After working for a while, the Russian army, mainly infantry, was no match for the Bukhara army, mainly cavalry. After leaving behind a hundred corpses, the rest fled back to Almaty City.
Khabarov's Russian army has always been famous for its fierce battles, but it depends on who their opponent is. If the infantry is used to fight other cavalry or be outside the vast city, wouldn't it be a pity?
In fact, the Bukhara Army's training level and combat effectiveness are not very good. However, the short-legged Russian army has no way to deal with the Bukhara Army that can run and slip.
Seeing that the strong attack was not enough, Khabarov ran to the old leader Golovin to complain first, saying that Sharukh led his troops to attack the Russian army as a provocation to Tsarist Russia! To put it simply, it was also attacking friendly forces, which violated the international principles temporarily set by the monarchs of the four countries!
Khabarov asked Golovin to arrest Sharukh in the name of the coalition commander and rectify the law on the spot!
When he heard about this, Goloven was overwhelmed. Before the Ming army could chase after him, these guys began to kill each other!
In this matter, Golovin was still clear-headed. Although he had never had a good impression of Sharukh, this matter was entirely caused by Khabarov!
