Chapter 824: The Ottoman Army Retreats

Indeed, Gatjevic has fallen into a magic barrier, the artillery protected by the 20,000 musket team of the Qing Military District, and his 200,000 troops besieged, it is impossible to break through for so long, this is beyond his cognition.

This was not the case in the past with the musketeers of various European countries.

Even if the S speed of the Qing Army Musket Team is faster and the S range is farther, is the situation beyond his cognition?

Getjevic really doesn't understand that in history, European countries reversed the offensive and defensive patterns of Europe and the Ottomans in one fell swoop after flintlock pistols and paper shells popped out, with lighter artillery, and the Ottoman Empire also began to decline from that time, and in the face of European countries, it could only take a defensive position.

Now, Getyivich first recognized such a pattern in the hands of the Qing army.

-----More than 260 Qing artillery pieces scattered and bombarded the Ottoman army attacking on all sides, where the Ottoman soldiers were dense, and where the Ottoman army rushed closer, they opened artillery bombardment.

Under such powerful artillery fire of the Qing army, the Ottoman 40,000 heavy armored iron shield corps has suffered more than 30,000 casualties, and the 15,000 musket team has also lost more than 10,000, plus the total annihilation of the 40,000 iron cavalry corps.

The remaining Ottoman ordinary legions also lost nearly 60,000 in the siege of the Qing army's Persian banner and flintlock pikes.

It can be said that the original 280,000 Ottoman army is now less than 140,000, even if the Qing army is also less than 100,000, but the advantage of the Ottoman army is rapidly decreasing.

After all, the Qing army lost more of the Persian banner and servant cavalry, with less than 10,000 dead and wounded in the Manchu Eight Banners and only 10,000 killed and wounded in the flintlock pirates.

"Boom, boom, boom----"

"Ahh Several Ottoman soldiers were blown up and killed.

A round of artillery bombardment by the Qing army, and hundreds of Ottoman soldiers were killed and wounded, the overall casualties of the Ottoman army have been more than half, which is almost a casualty of an army about to collapse, even if this Ottoman army is more elite, but it has been bombarded by the Qing army's fierce artillery for so long, and between the area attacked and defended by the Qing army's flintlock team, countless corpses and stumps and broken arms, etc., all hit their will.

Some Ottoman soldiers had already begun to retreat, looking in horror at the place that was constantly being bombarded by Qing artillery.

Not only ordinary Ottoman soldiers, but even the heavily armored Iron Shield Legion, which is known as the trump card, has soldiers who have begun to retreat. After all, although the Heavy Armor Iron Shield Legion is a trump card and the elite of the elite, it has already suffered more than seventy percent of the casualties, and the heavy armor has been worn for a long time, and their bodies are also very tired, and their will is also collapsing.

Even the Ottoman musket corps, commanded by Gatywicz himself, began to retreat when there were less than 4,000 men left.

The casualties were too heavy, and the Qing army's flintlock team guarding more than 200 cannons was a turtle shell that could not be gnawed.

"How so! How can this be-----"

"God of God, why is this happening!" Gatjevic asked, his voice trembling a little, his tone full of disbelief and extreme unwillingness.

"Report ----"

"Marshal, the Imperial Iron Cavalry Legion has been completely wiped out, and the Qing cavalry is all coming here!" An Ottoman general came to Gatęivich in fear.

Gateivich's eyes widened suddenly.

"What! The Iron Cavalry has been wiped out? There was a hint of despair in Gatjevic's expression.

The 280,000 army fought against the Qing army of 180,000, a decisive battle that should have been full of confidence, a decisive battle with absolute superiority, and now it has become like this, Getivich couldn't figure out why this was for a while, did he miscalculate?

He always believed that he could defeat the Qing army's 20,000 flintlock pistols and destroy the Qing army's artillery before the Iron Cavalry Corps was destroyed, but obviously, he did misjudge and the cavalry corps was destroyed, but he still failed to annihilate the Qing army's flintlock pistols and destroy the Qing army's artillery. Dolgon is really powerful, I'm afraid Dolgon has already calculated all this.

Gaitevich was full of powerlessness, not only the will of his soldiers had been hit, but his own will had not been hit.

"Boom----" Dolgon came with a three-way clamp attack by the Qing cavalry.

"Xiuxiu-----" arrows rained down, killing one Ottoman soldier after another.

The artillery of the Qing army has not stopped, and in the rain ---of arrows, there are shells that have exploded one after another, tearing apart one Ottoman soldier after another, and spilling blood on the ground.

Relying on the mobility of the war horses, the cavalry of the Qing army, the commander of Dolgon, constantly rained arrows around the Ottoman army, consuming the vital strength of the Ottoman army.

Coupled with the threat of heavy artillery fire, the Ottoman army could not gather densely to form a defense, and in such a situation, the Ottoman army was almost one-sidedly slaughtered, and the balance of war was completely tilted in favor of the Qing army.

"Nope! Fight back, the army strikes back! Gatjevic screamed and ordered.

Some of the Ottoman soldiers tried to gather together to resist the massacre of the Qing cavalry, but unfortunately they had just begun to gather, and immediately dozens of shells exploded among them, and they were immediately scattered again, and paid more than 100 casualties for this.

Some of the Ottoman soldiers of the Ottoman Heavy Iron Shield Legion also began to abandon their heavy iron shields and flee in all directions from the battlefield.

Seeing that the army had begun to retreat, and there were already signs of collapse, Getivich was furious, he could not be defeated, and neither could the Ottoman Empire!

"No retreat, no retreat!" Ghetewich roared angrily, sternly that the Ottoman soldiers were not allowed to retreat and continued to resist.

However, under the dense rain of arrows and artillery fire of the Qing army, the Ottoman soldiers could no longer care about this, and they now only wanted to save their lives.

"Marshal, the battle is now now, the chance of victory is slim, quickly order the army to retreat, otherwise the army is in danger of being annihilated!" There were Ottoman generals who persuaded Gatjivich.

Ghetevich was stunned, and after a while, he looked sad and indignant, thinking that he also realized this, and if he didn't retreat, the army would really be in danger of being wiped out!

"Alright, order the army to retreat, retreat in the direction of the imperial border!" Getjevic gritted his teeth, finally regained a lot of his senses, gave up continuing the decisive battle, and ordered the army to retreat in the direction of the Ottoman Empire, at least first withdraw from the range of the Qing army's artillery, and the army could not continue to be under the Qing army's artillery.

Gatęivich made this decision, so to speak, in this decisive battle, the Ottomans lost!

"Retreat! The army retreats! "The heralds began to give orders to the battlefield in all directions.
