Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Before the invention of explosive bombs, the lethality of the Ming army's artillery was not worth looking forward to, but the psychological bombardment brought by the artillery was huge.  The roar of cannons makes people always think that the next one to be torn into pieces by the projectiles is themselves.  "Tiger! Tiger! Tiger!" When the Orosians finally saw the Ming army array, they were greeted by the sound of neat footsteps and the war cry in unison.  The three battalions of the First Division of the First Guards Army took the lead in attacking from the Ming army's formation. The entire offensive formation formed a diagonal line as the square formation advanced.  "God bless!" Alexander finally saw the chance of victory. He shouted loudly: "There is a flaw in the enemy's array! Get in and defeat these Tatars!" The Oros began to learn from Western Europe in the 1930s  Army operations also use the square formation.  In the view of Colonel Alexander, the Ming army must have been insufficiently trained, resulting in inconsistent pace among the phalanxes, and lost the opportunity to advance in unison to attack the enemy with firepower.  However, when the colonel followed the traditional routine and started to attack the Ming army's assault phalanx, he was horrified to see that the Ming army's follow-up phalanx did not scatter. He still followed up firmly and attacked the Russian army together with the assault phalanx.  A counter-attack was carried out.  The Oros fire gunners had just experienced the baptism of artillery, and finally fought face to face, but found that the fire gunmen of the Eastern Kingdom had better equipment than them, and a stronger will to fight.  "Fire again after entering 20 Sarkin!" Alexander shouted.  In the measurement unit of Oros, one Sajin is equal to three Asin, which is approximately equal to five and a half feet of the Ming Dynasty.  The distance of twenty Sarkin required by Alexander was about twenty-five steps for the Ming army.  At this distance, the Ming army's hit rate was extremely high, but the Oros fire gunners could only perform disruptive shooting.  For the Russian army.  The best shooting distance is between three and five sagins.  Alexander heard the Ming army's distant call to fire. Although he had never studied it, as a general he could still guess the meaning of the order.  The fire of hope in his eyes became brighter and brighter, almost forgetting that the Ming army's artillery suppression just now made the Oros army's artillery completely useless.  ¡°It¡¯s too far, they can¡¯t possibly cause damage to us!¡± Alexander shouted excitedly to the lieutenant colonel¡¯s deputy beside him.  "Bang!" As the Ming army fired the first row of muskets, the front of the Oros or Feng army became thinner.  Alexander¡¯s mouth has not yet closed.  The second row of guns has been fired.  After two rounds of volleys, the sky above the Ming army's formation was filled with thick smoke, making it impossible for the shooters to have a field of vision to aim and shoot.  However, it was impossible for the Oros military formation to move in a short period of time, and there was no such thing as lying down in this era. Therefore, the Ming army launched its third round of fire, and then followed the regulations of the military code and filled the gunpowder projectile with half-crouching.  .  The thick smoke, which was hated by gunmen from all over the world, now became a protective shield for the Ming army.  The Oros people have never encountered such a powerful enemy, even if they are the thorns in Europe.  They have fought wars with Sweden, Poland, Ukraine and other countries, or are currently at war, but the shooting range and accuracy of the Ming army are really frightening.  "They are the devil's army! Where are our cavalry!" Alexander was under great pressure and watched in horror as his officers used whips and gun butts to order the soldiers to rearrange their formations.  He naturally didn¡¯t know that his superior had already mobilized the Cossack cavalry and Kazakhs. However, the Ming army, which had the terrain advantage, also had a numerical advantage.  The Oros people, in a blind state lacking intelligence, have already fallen into the Ming army's big pocket.  The Second Guards Corps moved from the rear side of the battlefield.  Cut off the Oros people's retreat.  As the main force on the flank, the First Cavalry Corps immediately attacked the Kazakh army protecting the Oros flank.  The Kazakhs were considered the little bullies of Central Asia before they encountered the Oara people.  They have good fighting power, but the Oara people adhere to their national traditions, and only an inch of grass can grow in the places they pass. They have dealt a huge blow to the Kazakh Khanate, so that they have no ability to resist the Ming army.  After Zhou Yuji defeated the Kazakhs, he encountered the Cossack cavalry.  Judging from the names, these two peoples seem to be brothers.  In fact, the Cossacks are not a blood ethnic group at all.  They are a class alliance composed of scattered free people, more similar to bandits.  The Tsar of Oros had no direct right to rule over the Cossacks, and could only bribe the Cossack "nobles" with land, gold, silver, and food.  These upper-class figures were the leaders of the "tribe". They took the Oros people's property and fought for them, just like the mercenaries of later generations.  "These barbarian cavalrymen who came from poor mountains and harsh waters are indeed worthy of their reputation.  However, after hitting the Ming army's iron wall-like cavalry array, they could only endureShame turned the horse's head and fled far away.  In terms of horses and riding skills, the Ming army was indeed inferior to the Cossacks. Because they had to maintain their formation, their movement speed was also greatly affected, and they could only watch them leave the battlefield.  "These tall horses." Huang Chengming sighed as he looked at the captured Cossack cavalry and their mounts.  "It's not as good as a Mongolian horse. Look at how thin it has become." Zhou Yuji shook his head and said, "We can bring back some horse breeds to improve the pack horses." The most favorite horse in the army is the cross-bred Mongolian horse.  That kind of horse is taller than the Mongolian horse, which can give the Ming army cavalry a height advantage during combat.  At the same time, they also have the advantages of Mongolian horses being able to tolerate rough feeding.  For example, these European horses will lose weight without concentrate, but Mongolian horses can live by eating green grass.  Now Zhou Yuji has not seen the more precious Arabian horses. If he knew that there are horses raised in greenhouses in the world, he doesn't know what he would think.  The Battle of Turkestan in the 10th year of Longjing came to an end in a short day. Although the Ming army fought brilliantly, the Oros people were really not cooperative enough. They tried to escape when it was dark, but found that their retreat had been cut off.  Envoys were sent in the hope of surrendering to the civilized Eastern monarchs.  Alexander Kraft was this unlucky envoy, because the regiment he led suffered heavy losses in the day's battle, and he himself became a hated outcast.  Fortunately, the Ming army is indeed a civilized army.  "Our army can accept your surrender." With the help of two generals, Xiao Mo understood the Orosian's intention.  He looked at the tall Alexander Kraft and said: "You can go back to reorganize the team now and hand over all the weapons. The prisoners can still live in the barracks. I will send someone to collect the weapons and then discuss the disposal issue." Alexander did not expect anything.  It would be so simple, it seems that the Eastern army also has the same level of civilization as Europe.  He boldly asked: "Dear General, may I venture to ask how much ransom we will be required to pay?" According to European tradition since the Middle Ages, defeated enemy generals can be ransomed by their families and kings.  Of course, lower-level soldiers do not have this preferential treatment, and no one will consider their lives.  If you show today's generals those touching war movies from the West, they will definitely suffer from cerebral hemorrhage.  "Our army never asks for ransom." Xiao Mo said: "You can ask the Spanish and Dutch about this. They will tell you that the Ming Dynasty only asks for justice." Alexander was completely relieved, because he did not believe that he appeared in other places.  It is a crime to be on the territory of a country - wasn't it the same in the Ming Dynasty?  The justice he believed in was justice for nobles and justice for officers who were treated well.  When Alexander sent the news back to the camp, the Oros people quickly gathered their weapons, packed their bags, and prepared to accept the prisoners of the Ming Dynasty.  On the sixth day of December in the tenth year of Longjing, the Battle of Turkestan came to an end.  The process of this battle was incredibly short. The Ming army pushed the Oros people to the ground in a crushing manner and stepped on them at the same time.  From the Oros general Valentin Bogorovsky to the cook, they all became prisoners of the Ming army.  The Cossacks did not stay to cause trouble for the Ming army. After they were defeated by Zhou Yuji, they wanted to come back to contact the Allies. Of course, they saw General Valentin Bogorovsky lowering his fat head and untiing himself.  The sword was handed to Xiao Mo's attendants with both hands.  The eighteen-year-old squire had no concept of politeness at all. He raised the corner of his mouth, took the sword inlaid with sapphire with one hand, straightly accepted the bow of the defeated general, then turned around and jumped with a smile.  The rhythm returned to Xiao Mo and raised his voice: "Report to the general, General of the Oros Army Valentin Bogorovsky, present your sword and ask for surrender." Xiao Mo sat on the marching chair, wearing a  Military uniform, with gold stars shining on the shoulders.  He raised his hand and said loudly: "Surrender is allowed." The guards below stepped forward and escorted Valentin to Xiao Mo.  After looking at Xiao Mo for a few seconds, Valentin lowered his head and said, "I admire your army for being so brave and good at fighting." The general translated Valentin's words to Xiao Mo, and Xiao Mo waved his hand and said, "Bring it on."  Go down." Those taken down with Valentin included three colonels, four majors, and more than ten lieutenants.  They will live with soldiers in prisoner-of-war camps while awaiting verdict.  Because the Ming Dynasty was also a country of etiquette, officers were indeed treated better than soldiers, and their class was obvious, which made the Oros people feel at ease.  Only useful people will be raised. This is a common practice in various countries.  Unlike the Oros, the Kazakhs, as the original owners of this land, were not imprisoned in prison camps, but were handed over to the judicial system for trial.    If the Oros are invaders, then these Kazakhs are traitors - they cannot be allowed to deny it, because Tulubaihu and Sengge came with the red flag of the Ming Dynasty. As long as the red flag arrives, they will  It is the land of the Ming Dynasty, there is no doubt about it.  This time the Cossacks had a blessing in disguise.  At Yang Wei's suggestion, Xiao Mo asked Zhou Yuji to release some of the Cossack prisoners of war, and at the same time hired some cavalry from these Cossacks.  On behalf of the Ming Dynasty, he invited the Cossacks to settle here and accept the asylum of the Ming Emperor.  As long as they abide by the laws and regulations of the Ming Dynasty, the Ming Emperor will definitely treat them equally and allow them to live and work in peace and contentment.  The war seems to be over, but it is only the beginning.  (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature.
