The destruction of the Ottoman musketeers can be regarded as a precursor to the defeat of the entire Ottoman army.

It was an ordinary Ottoman army of about 70,000 people, which was divided by the Qing army and besieged by more than 100,000 Qing troops. After the 27,000 Qing army musket team was liberated, they went to this battlefield nearby.

"Bang bang ----" With the blow of the Qing army's musket team, swaths of Ottoman soldiers were killed.

The 70,000 Ottoman soldiers on this battlefield were demoralized, and they were originally facing the siege of more than 100,000 Qing troops, and they were defeated and retreated, and defeat was only a matter of time.

One by one, Ottoman soldiers were killed by bullets.

It was so terrifying, surrounded by more than 100,000 Qing troops, bombarded by Qing artillery, and now the Qing army musket team joined in, shooting Ottoman soldiers like a massacre.

When thousands of Qing musketeers were killed, unable to defend against the attack of the Qing muskets, and besieged by artillery bombardment and a large number of other Qing troops, the 70,000 Ottoman soldiers on this battlefield also collapsed and became a great chaos.

However, even if they collapsed, they could not escape from the battlefield, because the battlefield where millions of people were fighting was too large, and the collapse would only make them slaughtered by the Qing army more quickly.

At this moment in the war, the Ottoman army with casualties has at least 120,000, that is to say, there are less than 460,000 Ottoman soldiers who can still fight at this moment, and the Qing army, with less than 30,000 dead and wounded, still has at least 790,000 soldiers.

As the war continued, the Ottoman army suffered more and more casualties, and defeat was inevitable.

"Boom! Rumble! "Fierce artillery fire bombarded the fastest and largest battlefield in the center of the battlefield, which surrounded the 150,000 Ottoman army, including the Ottoman commander Erconi.

"Nope! God willing! Erconi looked horrified at the bodies of the many Ottoman soldiers who had been killed by the shells that fell from time to time.

At this time, Erconi realized how ridiculous his original idea was, where the Qing army was a rabble, it could be defeated at will, and the Qing army was simply a ferocious lion, a powerful lion.

Boundless fear spread in Erconi's heart, he feared that he would be killed by a cannonball that would fall at his feet, and that he would be killed by the Qing army after the rout of the army.

"Marshal, order the army to withdraw to Damascus at once! As long as we withdraw to Damascus and hold on, our army will still have the possibility of remaining undefeated! An Ottoman general shouted as he approached Erkoni.

Erconi came to his senses.

"Yes, yes, immediately withdraw to Damascus and hold on! The Qing army is too terrifying, and His Majesty must be asked to send more troops to support! Erconi said with a pale face and full of fear.

"Tell the army, retreat! Withdraw to Damascus! Erconi ordered loudly.

Immediately, the horn characteristic of the Ottoman army sounded, and all the Ottoman soldiers turned and retreated in the direction of Damascus.

In fact, as early as when he first discovered the plan of the Qing army, Erconi should have immediately ordered the Ottoman army to withdraw to Damascus, but Erconi was stupid at the time, and Erconi had too little battlefield experience to realize this at all, and now he thought of retreating, it was too late.

However, whether Erconi thought of withdrawing to Damascus from the beginning or now, the Ottoman army was not so easy to withdraw.

The Kamai Valley is very large, although it is not a dangerous place, after the valley, it is completely passable in all directions, but there is one point, that is, there is only one road to the direction of Damascus, that is, the valley mouth, it is conceivable that Dolgon arranged heavy troops in the direction of the valley mouth, and the valley mouth area is the only more dangerous place in the Khamai valley, it is difficult for the Ottoman army to break through the blockade of the Qing army to the valley mouth and rush out.

Sure enough, the Ottoman army frantically retreated in the direction of the valley, but unfortunately came to the direction of the valley, only to find that this generation had already been blocked by dense Qing soldiers, and it was too difficult to break through the blockade of the Qing army, rush out from the valley, and return to Damascus.

"Hehe, want to return to Damascus? It's late! Dolgon sneered: "Today, all the Ottoman soldiers here have only one way, and that is the total annihilation!" ”

Dolgon's hasty deployment overnight was not clever, but since the Ottoman army had fallen into his ambush and encirclement on all sides, it was impossible to rush out, and at this time, whether Damascus was still in the hands of the Ottoman Empire was still one thing.

As early as calculating that the whole Ottoman army was dispatched and the ambush was deployed in the Kamai Valley, a Qing army of 50,000 men was also sent to attack Damascus while the Ottoman army was dispatched and the city of Damascus was empty.

With the assistance of dozens of cannons, it is not difficult for 50,000 Qing troops to take the empty Damascus City, which may have changed hands at this time.

"Kill, ----" One Ottoman soldier after another was hacked to the ground by Qing soldiers.

Even if they were defeated and retreated to a very close place to the valley pass, the Ottoman army was still under the siege of the Qing army, and the casualties were getting worse and worse, and Erconi, an incompetent man, was the commander. At this time, Erkoni's mind was already blank, he couldn't think of any way to deal with it, and he didn't even know what kind of order to give, completely dragging down the Ottoman army, which might still have a glimmer of life.

The Ottoman army was completely in a desperate situation.

Boundless despair filled the hearts of all the remnants of the Ottoman army, and if it had not been for the heavy surrounding, perhaps the Ottoman army would have been completely defeated.

"Report ---"

"Regent, our army has taken the city of Damascus!" A cavalryman with eight banners suddenly rode to the hillside where Dolgon was located and reported to Dolgon.

It turned out that the 50,000 Qing troops sent by Dorgon to attack the city of Damascus finally captured the city of Damascus.

Hearing this, Dorgon immediately laughed.

The end of the war was already doomed, the Ottoman Empire was powerless to return to the sky, and the Qing Dynasty was victorious!

"Herald! Let go and let the remaining Ottoman army withdraw to Damascus! Dorgon gave such an order suddenly.

Damascus has changed hands and been controlled by the Qing Dynasty, and the Ottoman army's rear route has been completely cut off, even if it retreats to Damascus, it will only fall into another flanking and encirclement, and Dolgon intends to break all the will of the remaining Ottoman soldiers under the city of Damascus, force them to surrender to the Qing Dynasty, and completely end this decisive battle.
