The Great Ming Dynasty Dominate Overseas

Chapter 1162: End of paragraph 1

The morale is bulging, and the Ottomans who are united make the Southeast Army feel tremendous pressure!

The Southeast Army's attack on the city of Apollo was frustrated. The opponent's city was strong, morale was strong, and the counterattack was strong, repelling the Chinese!

It is the battle method of one life for one life. The power of holy war is incomparable. The Ottomans defeated the material with spirit, and the Southeast Army can still work hard against them, but the casualties are increasing, and the leader can't bear it, and ordered to stop the attack.

As a result, the Southeast Army troops stationed outside the city of Apol. Rangers attacked the opponent's interior, causing the opponent to panic. A small number of elite troops attacked the enemy's small cities, looted places, and looted people.

As a result, many troops retreated in disgrace.

The first unit, the seventh company of the Rangers!

This company was very miserable, all the company was exhausted, only two wounded soldiers were released back.

When they wandered to the city of Azaz in the northwest of the city of Apollo, they encountered an enemy cavalry with superior forces and couldn't get rid of it!

It turned out that the Chinese also came to play cavalry, but they did not play well. People used two or three horses one man, while Chinese cavalry was solo. When marching, people even dismounted and walked. There was no way, because of lack of horses.

What's more, what I encountered was the elite Ottoman Crimean cavalry. Hundreds of cavalry were scattered in formation, brandishing their sabers, and whizzing out. They shouted religious slogans feverishly, like a tornado!

"Charge—" At least one battalion of Crimean cavalry was charging, and the centurions bravely rushed forward.

The Southeast Army dismounted to fight and formed a musket formation,

"put!"

The officer yelled and fired his guns, but the formation of the opposing team was unfolding, and no significant results could be achieved.

Some Crimean cavalry fell to the ground, and the horses struggled and roared on the ground, but more people passed the fallen horses.

They spread out, killing in all directions!

In the second round of shooting by the Southeast Army, the bullets went out, and it seemed that the opponent's position had not changed much, as if they had not damaged much of their fur.

The best guns for muskets are dense phalanxes. When there are few people and many people, the disadvantages are all obvious.

The enemy was nearly killed, and the Southeastern Army's guns and bombs were all on, and they could not stop their attack. Ottoman Crimean Elite Cavalry

Seeing this, the officer ordered the horse to be mounted again. At this time, the cavalry in the back row took the lead, just as the Crimean cavalry was about to rush to the dismounted infantry. The cavalry from both sides slammed into one piece violently, and the people on the battlefield immediately screamed.

The dismounted infantry quickly put away the muskets, quickly returned to the horse stop behind, turned over and rode on their own horses.

"Brothers, rush with me..." the officer yelled, brandishing a saber, and one by one soldiers rushed onto the battlefield without fear.

Hand-to-hand, human blood splattered. In the fierce fighting, gunshots sounded from time to time...

The battle flag fell, and under the siege of superior forces, the seventh company was defeated, but they were very brave, no one surrendered, and only two wounded soldiers were captured.

The Ottoman Crimean cavalry was very polite. They did not abuse the prisoners and allowed them to heal themselves. Then they sent ten men and sent them back!

I asked, they had participated in the Battle of Cairo!

In that battle, the Ottoman army was defeated. The commander of this army was clever. He ran fast on four legs. When the situation was not good, he slipped away. He did not stay under Cairo and fled.

They were very clear and impressed with the strength of the Southeast Army, so the reputation of the Southeast Army caused two wounded soldiers to be returned by them, so that the senior officers of the Southeast Army would know the situation of the seventh company.

Therefore, the strategy was adjusted immediately, except for a few scouts who came out at night and day, the small troops no longer entered the north of the city of Apol.

Because you can't escape, don't deliver meat to your door.

As for the Crimean cavalry, they certainly did not escape the fate of defeat later, but due to the return of the wounded soldiers to our army, the Southeast Army did not kill them all. This is for later story.

Small units can’t run, and large units can’t take advantage of it. The 113th Infantry Regiment attacked a small county a hundred miles east of Apollo. The city was not well-defended. It was only three to four meters high and less than two meters wide. With a bomb blast, it can't be defended at all.

But when the 113th regiment opened the gate and entered the city, something appalling happened!

Those Ottomans were mostly people, and there were not many professional soldiers. They were wearing common clothes and armed with machetes, and they attacked like a devil.

The gun can't fall, the gun stabbed can't die, as long as the breath is still alive, they will rush to fight with the Southeast Army with red eyes, and they will drag the heretics to the death, they will go to heaven, and the heretics will go to hell!

On the spacious street, the Southeast Army is strong and can handle it, but in a narrow place, the Southeast Army lineup was destroyed!

After the corpses were divided by knives, the Southeast Army was brutally hacked by them, and some soldiers were even completely unrecognizable.

The Southeast Army killed thousands of each other, but it also killed 200 people and wounded hundreds of them. The commander thought that the exchange ratio was too bad and could only order a retreat.

Hearing the Ottomans celebrating victory on the city wall, the unfurious Southeast Army made a comeback, opened the way with bombs and set up a ladder to go up to the city. Those Ottomans actually used their bodies as weapons~www.wuxiaspot.com~ The whole people rushed down!

Their madness forced the Southeast Army to retreat!

The problem is that the Southeast Army attacked everywhere and encountered the resistance of the fanatical Ottomans. They held their chests up against the muskets. They needed shields? No, the front row is the meat shield in the back row, which is still active, allowing the officers and soldiers of the Southeast Army to fully appreciate the magical ability of "you have a musket, he has a god".

However, it was said that the Southeast Army besieged the city of Apol, with 170,000 troops and a huge daily cost of food.

The commander of the Southeast Army, Mr. David, reported to leader Yan Changwu: “We are exhausted, food is exhausted, and ammunition is scarce. Our army will take down the city of Apol at all costs, or we will retreat, otherwise the enemy and our situation will change and it will be against us. military!"

"Even if the city of Apollo is captured, the enemy cities in the front will be difficult. Will it be possible to fight over one by one, so how many of us can return to our hometown?" Yan Changwu sighed that the Ottomans are "a hundred-legged insects, dead but not stiff." ."

"They are full of hearts, and this is not a good opportunity to destroy Osman." He said flatly, "Retreat!"

So the Southeast Army retreated one after another. This retreat was not so easy. The Ottoman cavalry sent out to chase and kill, but Mr. David commanded effectively, and the troops alternately covered and retreated. Ihasan Pasha saw that the enemy was well prepared, but he did not dare to push forward. , So all members of the Southeast Army returned to Damascus.

Yan Changwu guarded the city of Damascus with Li Dingguo and Enengqi’s Second Army, and led his troops to retreat to Egypt, leaving Zhang Shouyun, Zhang Jiayu’s First Army, Zu Kefa and Chen Qiao’s Fifth Army to defend the Cairo area, and Li Chengdong and Zhang Huangyan’s first The Sixth Army guarded the city of Suez, and he was about to take a boat back to the Southeast.

At this point, the Southeastern country's first attack on the Ottoman Empire came to an end, and the two sides entered a stage of strategic stalemate.
