More than 20,000 troops is a large number, it is impossible to rush to this position at once, the soldiers who entered the position after getting off their horses, they are indeed much more flexible than riding on horses, perhaps Governor Aishad's method has played a role, these soldiers are about to attack the core position when the Ming army has not reacted, even Governor Aisha felt that his tactics had worked, so he issued an order for them to immediately and quickly occupy the entire position.

The gunfire rang out again on the position, and after the fire snakes licked and licked, they left a piece of corpse, the hand-cranked machine guns of the Ming army began to strafe, and the machine guns in the dark fort no longer hid their positions, at this time they opened fire with all their might, and more than 20,000 people were a lot of people. For a while, the whole position was full of gunfire, much more than the previous two movements, there were too many enemies, if it was still like the previous two times, it is estimated that the Ottoman soldiers could step on their heads, and they had to increase the speed of shooting.

The battle continued, and the 20,000 cavalry dismounted to fight was indeed much more flexible than riding on a horse, but it was useless to be flexible, they were facing the machine gun fire of the Ming army hidden in the bunker, and they could not return fire, even if they saw the bunker, they couldn't go ahead, these bunkers were all precisely designed, the position arrangement and fire cross coverage were carefully calculated, and there were no loopholes that they could find. The soldiers of the Ming army who could be seen were all in the core fortification area a little farther away, they couldn't pass even if they saw it, the firepower there was even more fierce, and more than 20,000 soldiers could only slowly watch the reduction, unable to do anything.

In almost an hour, when there were only 5,000 people left of the more than 20,000 Ottoman coalition troops, they finally broke away from the battlefield, not because they didn't want to withdraw, but because the firepower on both sides of the position was too fierce, and it was a dead end to rush out without any hiding. These Ottoman soldiers were also fierce and crazy enough, they used the corpses of their comrades as cover, built a wall of corpses, and slowly climbed out.

Looking at the soldiers who had returned from the defeat, whether it was Governor Eishad or Grei III, they no longer dared to continue the next attack, the soldiers had lost the courage to charge again, and they were afraid of causing the soldiers to mutiny, so they had to stop to eat and rest, and study the tactics.

The ten-square-mile position is not big, it is not small, if it is bypassed, it is not impossible, but it is not impossible to leave this aftermath after 100,000 people have passed, who knows how many of them are here, in case a large army has passed, it will be more troublesome for them to flank the front and back, Governor Aishad is worried.

After lunch, Li Hongji saw through his binoculars a large number of soldiers having crossed the Mius River, many of them carrying bundles of branches and others holding hay. Li Hongji thought of Zhu Youxiao's explanation of the tactics of the ring defensive position, and he analyzed all kinds of situations in the position, and it seemed that they were trying to use the smoke and fire to burn the position.

Now it is a south wind, and if it is set on fire, it will indeed be unfavorable to the position of the Ming Dynasty, but these branches and dry firewood are still too few, and I don't know how much effect it can play. In the place that Li Hongji didn't see, Governor Ashhard and Gray III also prepared a large amount of grease, which was available in the barracks, which was the method they suddenly remembered when they were cooking, that is, the idea of pouring grease into the bunker and breaking through the bunker little by little.

Seeing the Ottoman coalition forces preparing for battle from a distance, Li Hongji felt that there might be casualties this time, and the water and fire were ruthless, although the Ottoman soldiers would also suffer greater losses if they did so, after all, carrying these things would slow down the attack, and the action would be slow, but a little attack, slowly encroaching on the position, it was better than standing stupidly and being beaten.

In order to reduce losses, Li Hongji ordered the soldiers in the dark fort to immediately withdraw secretly from the troop transport trench, put the main forces behind the core position, and then ordered 5,000 cavalry to prepare for the attack.

The Ottoman coalition began to attack again, their tactics were very good, the forward troops were reduced to more than 5,000 people, and the distance was very wide, the soldiers no longer charged directly, but every two people pushed a large bundle of branches and slowly rolled towards the position, followed by two people carrying grease, because the bundles of branches were too large, the Ming army did not find out how many people were following behind.

The distance of two miles allowed the Ottoman coalition troops to walk for half an hour, and finally approached the front of the position, and they did not panic into the position, and began to pile up some firewood and grass on the outside of the position. Thick smoke rose up, and the position was quickly covered, and even the telescopes could not see the attacking soldiers clearly, and the Ming army could no longer shoot accurately.

Seeing that the smoke obscured the shooting range of the Ming army, nearly 50,000 coalition soldiers behind them began to move quickly and rushed towards this position. The soldiers who had burned a pile of branches slowly moved forward, eating away at the position little by little, and the Ming army could only watch the smoke continue to move forward, and sporadic shooting could not stop the advance of the Ottoman coalition army.

After entering the position for a mile, behind the fire, the Ottoman coalition soldiers finally saw the hidden forts that were originally attacking them, and they began to pour grease into them, burning down the hidden forts one by one, fortunately, the Ming army had all withdrawn according to Li Hongji's orders, and the few remaining observation posts saw that the enemy had entered the position, and they slowly withdrew to the core position in addition to occasionally putting some cold guns.

When the Ottoman coalition army advanced to fifty zhang away from the core position, the Ming soldiers could also see their figures, through the smoke and fire, the Ming army's hand-cranked machine guns began to shoot, dense bullets do not need to be aimed, towards the general direction of the strafing can be, after all, where there is a fire, there are Ottoman coalition soldiers in the back to add branches, the flame is brighter, than the smoke of the place to see a little clearer.

The target in front of Li Hongji had already moved to the preset observation post on one side, the soldiers in front were very close to the core position, and most of the more than 50,000 people in the back had already entered the circular defensive position, even the Ottoman coalition command behind them saw someone cheering.

Governor Ashad's mood is now a little relaxed, these hateful Ming troops have finally been compressed into a small core position, seeing that the distance is getting closer and closer, Eishad can't help but shout victory.

The horn of the all-out attack finally sounded, and the Ottoman coalition soldiers who set fire in front suddenly stood up, no matter how dense the machine gun fire of the Ming army was, they began to attack quickly as if they had been beaten with chicken blood, and the core position was in front of them, and they could wave the scimitar in their hands to fight and kill when they rushed in, they were too aggrieved, and finally had a chance to vent.

Will the battle go the way they imagined? That's absolutely impossible, if Li Hongji is really calculated by the tactics of Governor Aishad and Gray III, then it seems that the generals of the Ming Dynasty are too stupid, don't occupy this strategic place, and the flexible use of tactics is Zhu Youxiao's consistent requirement for the generals, don't stick to the old rules, and constantly enrich various tactical methods with the progress of the battle is the real strength of senior generals.

The Ottoman soldiers had already stormed the core and faced only a small amount of Ming resistance, but the resistance was so stubborn that even a few soldiers occasionally counterattacked. In the narrow trench, the long musket was difficult to shoot, and it was not as sharp as the scimitar in the hand after getting close, and the Ottoman coalition soldiers rushed forward frantically, trying to quickly get close to the Ming soldiers.

A small number of Ming soldiers did not contact them at all, they made full use of the familiar fortification structure to resist stubbornly, the tactics of a group of six or seven people were used perfectly, sharp military daggers could suddenly attack around the corner, and then quickly get out of the attack range, the comrades in the rear would cover their retreat with *, there was a fierce battle in every trench, the corpses of the Ottoman coalition soldiers were piled up in the trenches, on the contrary, the casualties of the Ming soldiers were very small.

After the Ottoman arson soldiers in front broke into the core position, the casualties became larger and larger, and the attack gradually slowed down under the stubborn resistance of the Ming army, but the soldiers behind quickly pressed up, and the great numerical advantage made the Ming army have to retreat gradually, and finally concentrated fire to counterattack once, and withdrew from the core position under the cover of the hand-cranked machine gun behind.
