Chapter 661 Steel torrent, crushing Cossack cavalry
War is cruel.
The Ming Empire used its military strength to make the war even more cruel.
The wild and brave Cossacks also knew what fear was at this moment.
An unknown fear.
They didn't know what kind of magical art these Oriental people used to endure such a torture.
On the Ming army's side, the cavalry had begun to retreat in an orderly manner.
The infantry began to approach the front positions in an orderly manner to narrow the encirclement of the Rakshasa army.
When the mechanical infantry drove a combat version of the steam locomotive toward the ground, whose heads were not yet cut off by the Ming cavalry, and who were still wailing, the Cossack cavalry became even more frightened, and they were trembling all over and tried their best to leave the place. Even if they were affected by the poisonous gas bomb, they were unable to stand and walk, and even if they were crawling, they were still crawling out desperately.
"No, no, no!"
A Cossack cavalry shouted in horror when he watched the steam chariots coming like steel monsters.
Although he shouted desperately and climbed out desperately, the Ming army's steam chariot still ruthlessly ran over him.
Crack!
The sound of bone crushing was quickly suppressed by the roar of the chariots.
More and more steam tanks are emerging.
Like a torrent of steel.
More than 30,000 Cossack cavalry were thus completely wiped out under the interaction of chariots and cavalry.
Cossack Commander Zachwisky watched all this helplessly, and was then pressed to the ground by a Ming soldier and went to the head with a dagger.
The Ming soldier then took back the Cossack head he had harvested.
It is naturally necessary to pour a building for military purposes when taken back.
Alexoro looked at it with a trembling body, and the Ming army gathered the Cossacks' heads as building materials to pour them together with some kind of soil (concrete) to make a scene of the bunker surrounding them.
He was not angry because these Cossacks were treated so much, but because he felt fear.
He didn't expect these Orientals to be so cruel and powerful that even the building materials that built bunkers could solidify so quickly.
Alexoro no longer dared to let his main force of Rakshasa rush over.
The large number of casualties of the Chahars, Turkuts, and Cossacks have already shown him that the Ming army in front of him is invincible, and his main force of Rakshasa is definitely not an opponent.
Bombs that can spit out fire, bombs that can suddenly release a large amount of yellow-green gas and make people lose their combat effectiveness in an instant, and steel monsters that can quickly advance while spitting smoke when carrying animals.
All of these made Alexoro unable to think of a way to deal with it.
The Ming army gathered more and more, and gradually began to take the initiative in the form of a large-scale infantry group.
Dong!
Dong!
Dong!
The marching drum that shocked people was so shocked that it sounded rhythmically as the two strong arms of Ming soldiers beat the drum.
The Ming army infantry that was synchronized with it was lined up in rows, like a wall, pushing towards Alexoro's Rakshasa army.
Alexoro could clearly see that these Ming infantrymen were holding muskets with sharp knives.
He knew that as long as he had someone rush over, he would inevitably be shot in line.
What's more, the Ming troops gathered more and more.
"Retreat! Break to the south!"
Alexoro therefore had to give up the idea of breaking out from the north.
"yes!"
The entire Rakshasa army was as if they were amnesty and began to turn and continue to retreat southward.
Alexoro had no choice but to retreat south, if he was unwilling to break north.
Because the area where his army is now located is the Altai Mountains, which are covered with snow all year round, and the desert on the west side. Only by going south can there be a large number of oasis that can be used as a breakout place.
However, the south is not very good, there are Tianshan Mountains in the south.
Zhou Yuji's Western Expedition Army and another guards were waiting for Alexoro's Rakshasa army here, from west to east.
Moreover, when Alexoro went north, the Ming army in the south was building villages step by step based on the terrain.
When Alexoro and his Rakshasa army arrived near Qinghe City, they saw that there were already Ming troops waiting for them based on the mountains.
"Get Qinghe City at all costs! After taking it, you can burn, kill and loot all the oasis in the south, and give these east a fear!"
Alexoro ordered.
So, the army of Rakshasa began to attack Qinghe City.
The army of Rakshasa, like a tide, rushed towards Qinghe City.
At the forefront, they are naturally non-Rakshasa people such as the Junggars, Turkuts, Chahars, and Cossacks, acting as cannon fodder.
The Ming army was naturally not polite and directly poured countless bombs on these people.
The improved rocket even randomly turned dozens of rockets with white phosphorus bombs into the cannon fodder that rushed to the nearest, turning them directly into white ash.
So in the end, no matter how the supervision team formed by the Rakshasa people cut and killed them, these non-Rakshasa people were unwilling to be cannon fodder again.
Alexoro did not want to anger these people too much, so he had to let his Rakshasa soldiers attack the city himself.
But these Rakshasa soldiers were all physical mortals, and they also turned into corpses and piled up into mountains in front of the powerful firepower of the Ming Dynasty.
Even if the Rakshasa soldiers kept rushing over and even climbing up the newly piled corpse mountain, they would still be shot by the Ming army's company of muskets or rockets and died the next moment.
Alexoro felt desperate, but he had no other choice now, so he ordered the Rakshasa soldiers to continue to attack the city.
He knew that he could only fill in his life now, otherwise his 200,000 army would have to be buried here.
"kill!"
Rakshasa soldiers continued to rush towards the Ming army positions in Qinghe City.
However, the Ming army was condescending and had strong firepower, so even if the Rakshasa soldiers were well-trained and were not afraid of death, they still could not win Qinghe City.
Moreover, the more you get to the back, the less confident the Rakshasa soldiers themselves are.
In their eyes, the Ming army in front of them was simply a wall of iron.
What they couldn't stand was that the Ming army did not blindly guard against each other. Many Ming army actually crossed Mount Altai to attack them from behind.
At this time, Li Dingguo rushed into the enemy camp with his direct spy battalion. The few people rushed over and killed him. When there were too many people, he threw the sky thunder. When he encountered a larger scale, he searched for cover to hide on the spot. Then he kept people with a fire gun to block it, and he led the others to fight and retreat.
For a time, the entire Rakshasa army was attacked by the Ming army in the middle and rear, and a large number of Rakshasa soldiers fled directly.
"Get out! Retreat to Turhong!"
Seeing that Alexoro could not break out in front of him, he was terrified by the Ming army coming from Mount Altai, so it was worth ordering the withdrawal of troops.
So, Alexoro took more than 100,000 officers and soldiers who had not yet escaped to a place called Turhon, and camped there to rest.
The Ming army took this opportunity to continue to narrow the encirclement, and on the fifth day after Alexor arrived in Turhon, the Ming army, advancing together from north to south, met and completed the formation. Here, Alexoro and his large army of Rakshasa.
At this time, Alexoro and his Rakshasa army were not only seriously short of water, but also severely short of food.
