"Retreat! Return to the fortifications as planned!"
After Zhou Yuji received the order from the supervisor Sun Chuanting to all armies to attack, Zhou Yuji also issued the latest order to the Western Expeditionary Army in his Anxi Protectorate.
At first, Zhou Yuji gathered more than 100,000 officers and soldiers from the Anxi Protectorate and took the initiative to attack the Rakshasa soldiers. This was just to lure the Rakshasa soldiers to continue to infiltrate the pocket formation set up by his Ming army, so he made the decision to fight with them. The posture of a decisive battle is not a battle with Rakshasa soldiers on the wild grassland.
Because Zhou Yuji would not be stupid enough to give up the strong defenses and take the initiative to go to the wild to fight the Rakshasa soldiers.
Of course, Zhou Yuji took the initiative to gather the army and attack the Rakshasa soldiers in order to make Alezolo mistakenly think that the Ming Dynasty was not well prepared for defense, so he had to send a large army to actively engage in the battle.
Now, the armies of the Ming Dynasty had completed the siege of more than 200,000 Rakshasa soldiers. Zhou Yuji naturally ordered all his Western Expedition troops to return to the fortifications to stop the enemy.
"Why did the main force of the Ming army withdraw?"
Arezzoro still only put on the spot the main force of the more than 100,000 Western Expeditionary Army of the Ming Dynasty's Anxi Army Protectorate. The only main force of the Ming Dynasty here, and when he saw the Western Expeditionary Army beginning to retreat through his telescope, he also expressed doubts. The sound comes.
"It's incredible! Since they were going to retreat, why did they take the initiative to advance towards us before?"
Zokovalov was also surprised.
But Arezzoro gradually felt uneasy: "Maybe we have been fooled!"
"what do you mean?"
Zokovalov asked.
"The whole army is ordered to stop advancing. The front army will be the rear army, and the rear army will be the front army. Count Zukovalov, please personally lead your troops to cut off the rear!"
Arezzoro did not want to spend any more energy explaining to Zuokovalov and directly issued a military order.
"yes!"
Zukovarov replied.
Arezzoro then ordered another Rakshasa cavalry general named Oslov: "General Oslov, please take your cavalry and rush to Burqin immediately to support! Burqin cannot be lost in the hands of the Ming army. !”
"yes!"
Oslov also replied.
"The army in front will be the army behind, and the army behind will be the army in front!"
At this time, the Rakshasa soldiers' messengers quickly conveyed Arezzoro's orders between the battalions.
Allezzoro looked solemnly at the captives of the Ming army sentries led by him: "If I had known that the Ming people had such a big appetite, I wouldn't have killed these people first!"
Then, Arezzoro asked Ye Chuchun: "The Ming Dynasty really only deployed more than 100,000 troops in this area?"
"Yes! We dare not hide it."
Ye Chuchun replied.
"If it is true as you say, it is impossible for the people of the Ming Dynasty to launch a massive siege against the more than 200,000 officers and soldiers of our Rakshasa Kingdom!"
Arezzoro said.
"Could it be an empty city strategy? The commander-in-chief of the Ming army in the Anxi Protectorate deliberately retreated his army suddenly to intimidate us?"
Burni, who loves watching the Three Kingdoms, asked at this time.
Arezzoro thought deeply and finally said: "It is better to retreat to Beitun first. If the Ming army really cuts off our retreat and besieges us, there will be news from Burqin in a few days!"
…
"Why are the Rakshasa soldiers starting to retreat too?"
Wuya asked.
"It seems that although the commander of the Rakshasa soldiers is arrogant, he is also very cautious in using his troops."
Zhu Cizhuo replied.
"They will come back. Even if he leaves now, the Ming Dynasty elites transferred by Supervisor Sun behind them will seize Burqin, Beitun, Fuhai, and Fuyun before they arrive, leaving them without water. situation!"
Zhou Yuji said something, and then sneered: "Then they will find that there are no wells along the way. If they don't go south, they will die of thirst!"
at this time.
The Rakshasa soldiers stationed in Burqin were tremblingly looking at the large-scale Ming army that suddenly appeared in front of them.
The commander-in-chief of the Ming Dynasty, namely Supervisor Sun Chuanting, had been adhering to the strategy of you fight yours and I fight mine from the beginning.
Therefore, the Ming army has always been bent on eating these more than 200,000 Rakshasa soldiers, and the elites transferred from all over the country directly used the north and south routes to surround the more than 200,000 Rakshasa soldiers who were marching towards the Anxi Protectorate. Rakshasa soldiers.
After coming all the way from the Mongolian Plateau, they used the map drawn by the Anxi Protectorate and the Ministry of War to cross the Altai Mountains, and then came to the Zhaisangbo area to cut off the retreat of the Rakshasa soldiers.
Along the way, they marched from Xi'an to Hami, and then marched north from Hami to the area above the North Tower, blocking the Rakshasa soldiers' eastward attack.
The Western Expeditionary Army of the Anxi Protectorate led by Zhou Yuji has been acting as bait in the northern foothills of Bogda Mountain in the south, luring the Rakshasa soldiers southward and blocking their southern retreat.
Of course, the Ming army was able to successfully surround the Rakshasa soldiers, which actually involved the Ming Dynasty's advantages in intelligence and transportation.
After all, if there were no telegraph and railway transportation that could communicate instantly, Ming Dynasty would not have enough time to prepare.
"kill!"
"kill!"
"kill!"
The infantry and artillery of the Ming army, densely spread on the vast grassland, lined up in rows and advanced towards Burqin, shouting orderly slogans, which gave the Rakshasa guards in Burqin a great sense of oppression. .
This is the first time since the Tang Dynasty that a large-scale Han army has appeared in this area.
For the Rakshasa soldiers, they were unfamiliar with these Ming troops who spoke the Han dialect.
But they can now feel that these Ming troops with spears like forests and banners like clouds in front of them are not easy to mess with.
The enemy cavalry in this era was basically light cavalry that shot bows and arrows. Therefore, the Ming army's infantry formation still retained pikemen. After all, only in this way can it be more suitable for fighting in the wild.
Because the opponent has not advanced to the same level as Ming Dynasty in military weapons.
The Ming Dynasty's army had not yet started to form skirmish lines, but still used phalanx formations for intensive shooting.
Only in this way can the cavalry be shot intensively.
Therefore, Burqin's Rakshasa soldiers still saw the densely advancing Ming army, and the pikemen lined up like a moving forest.
Of course, the Ming army not only had infantry, but also large-scale cavalry.
More than 100,000 cavalrymen have been divided into two wings and are rushing through Burqin, intending to go to places such as Beitun, Fuhai, and Fuyun to intercept the Rakshasa cavalry who may come back to support, and to prevent the Rakshasa guards in these places from notifying them. The news was brought to Arezzoro, who was heading south in the direction of Luntai.
There seemed to be more Ming cavalry than the white clouds in the sky, rushing south like a torrent, filling the entire Irtysh River Basin on the west side of the Altai Mountains, and sweeping away all the Rakshasa military stations along the way.
The national strength accumulated by the Ming Dynasty for decades has now exploded at this moment.
The Rakshasa soldiers guarding Burqin could only watch helplessly as the Ming cavalry swept past their city day and night. They were so frightened that they did not dare to breathe. They had never seen such a large scale. cavalry troops.
