War is brutal.The Ming Empire used its military strength to make the war a little more brutal.And the wild and brave Cossacks began to know at this moment what fear was.A fear of the unknown.They didn't know what kind of magic these Orientals had used to make them suffer such torture.On the side of the Ming army, the cavalry had begun to withdraw in an orderly manner.The infantry began to move in an orderly manner towards the forward positions in order to reduce the encirclement of the Rakshasa army.And when the mechanical infantry drove the combat version of the steam locomotive to the Cossack cavalry lying on the ground, who had not yet been cut off by the Ming cavalry, and were still wailing, these Cossack cavalry were even more frightened, so that they trembled all over, and tried their best to get out of here, even if they were affected by poison gas bombs and could not stand and walk, even if they were crawling, they were desperately crawling outward."
No, no, don't!"
A Cossack cavalryman shouted in horror as he watched the steam chariot approaching like a steel monster.Despite his desperate shouts and desperate efforts to climb out, the steam chariot of the Ming army ran mercilessly over him.Boom!
The sound of bones breaking was quickly drowned out by the roar of the chariot.More and more steam chariots appeared.Like a torrent of steel.More than 30,000 Cossack cavalry were thus annihilated by the interaction of chariots and cavalry.The Cossack commander Zakhvisky watched helplessly, and then was pinned to the ground by a Ming soldier and beheaded with a dagger.The Ming soldier then took back the Cossack head he had harvested.Naturally, it was to be poured into a building for military purposes.Alezolo looked with a telescope with trembling whole body, and the Ming army gathered the heads of the Cossacks as building materials and poured them together with some kind of earth (concrete) to make a scene of encircling their bunkers.He was not angry that these Cossacks were treated like this, but trembled with fear.He didn't expect these Orientals to be so ruthless and powerful, that even the building materials for building bunkers could solidify so quickly.Alezolo no longer dared to let his main Rakshasa army rush over.The large number of casualties among the Chahars, Turks, and Cossacks had already shown him that the Ming army in front of him was invincible, and his main army of Rakshasa was definitely not an opponent.A bomb that breathes fire, a bomb that suddenly emits a large amount of yellow-green gas and instantly renders people ineffective, and a steel monster that can move quickly while spitting smoke without a beast to carry it.All of this left Alezolo at a loss as to how to deal with it.The Ming army gathered more and more, and gradually began to take the initiative in the form of a large infantry group.Boom!
Boom!
Boom!
The trembling marching drum sounded rhythmically under the swing of the two strong arms of the drumming soldiers.The infantry of the Ming army, which was synchronized with it, lined up in rows and rows, like a wall, pushed towards Alezoro's Rakshasa army.Alezoro could clearly see that the Ming infantry were holding muskets with sharp knives.He knew that as long as he let people rush over, he would inevitably be shot in line.What's more, these Ming troops are gathering more and more in front of them."
Withdraw!
Break out to the south!
”Alezolo therefore had to abandon the idea of breaking out from the north."
Yes!"
The entire Rakshasa army began to turn around and continue to retreat south.Alezolo also had no choice but to retreat south, if he was not willing to break through to the north.Because the area where his army is now located is the Altai Mountains with snow all the year round on the east side, and the great desert on the west side, and only in the south can there be a large number of oases that can be used as a place to break out.However, the south side is not very good, and there are Tien Shan mountains in the south.Zhou Yuji's Western Expeditionary Army and the Guards of another corps were waiting here for Alezoro's Rakshasa army in the west and east.Moreover, when Alezolo went north, the Ming army in the south was shrinking the encirclement by relying on the terrain to build a fortress step by step.When Alezolo and his army of Rakshasas arrived near Qinghe City, they saw that there were already Ming troops waiting for them on the mountain."
Take Qinghe City at all costs!
After taking it, you will be able to burn and loot all the oases in the south, and give these easterners fear!
”Alezolo thus commanded.As a result, the Rakshasa army began to attack Qinghe City.The Rakshasa army poured into Qinghe City like a tidal wave.At the forefront, of course, there were non-Rakshasas such as Dzungars, Turks, Chahars, and Cossacks, who served as cannon fodder.And the Ming army was naturally unceremonious.Countless bombs were poured directly on these people.The improved rocket slipped and even wantonly turned dozens of rockets with white phosphorus bombs into white ash at once, and these cannon fodder that rushed to the front directly turned into white ash.So much so that in the end, no matter how the Rakshasa Warlord's team slashed and killed, these non-Rakshasas were unwilling to be cannon fodder anymore.Alezolo didn't want to provoke these people too much, so he had to let his Rakshasa soldiers attack the city himself.But these Rakshasa soldiers are all mortal fetuses, and they have become a pile of corpses in the face of the powerful firepower of the Ming Dynasty, piled up into mountains.Even if there are Rakshasa soldiers rushing towards them, or even clinging to the mountain of corpses that have just piled up, they will still be killed by the Ming army's fire or rockets in the next moment.Alezolo felt desperate, but he had no other way now, so he ordered the Rakshasas to continue the siege.He knew that he could only fill it with human lives now, otherwise, his 200,000 troops would have to be buried here."
Kill!"
Rakshasa soldiers continued to rush towards the Ming army positions in the area of Qinghe City.However, the Ming army was condescending and had strong firepower, so even if the Rakshasa soldiers were well-trained and not afraid of death, they still couldn't take Qinghe City.And the further back he went, the less confident the Rakshasa soldiers themselves became.In their eyes, the Ming army in front of them was simply impregnable.What made them even more unbearable was that the Ming army did not blindly defend to the death, and many Ming troops actually crossed the Altai Mountains to attack them from behind.At this time, Li Dingguo rushed into the enemy camp with his direct spy battalion, and when there were few people, he rushed over directly to kill them, and when there were many people, he directly threw thunder, and when he encountered a larger scale, he looked for cover on the spot to hide, and then left people to block it with firearms, and he took others to fight and retreat.For a time, the middle and rear positions of the entire Rakshasa army were attacked by the Ming army, and a large number of Rakshasa soldiers fled directly."
Collect the troops!
Evacuate to Turhon!
”Seeing that he could not break through in front of him, and was disturbed by the attack of the Ming army coming from the Altai Mountains behind, Alezoro was in shock, so it was worth continuing to order the withdrawal of troops.So Alezolo took the 100,000 officers and soldiers who had not yet fled to a place called Turhon, where he camped and rested.The Ming army took this opportunity to continue to reduce the encirclement, and on the fifth day of Alezolo's arrival in Turhon, the Ming army marching north and south was completed, and here, Alezolo and his Rakshasa army were encircled.At this time, Alezolo and his army of Rakshasas were not only seriously short of water, but also seriously short of food.
