On the second day, the imperial guard arrived at the front line. Zhu Cilang took a break and rode out of the camp to check the enemy situation.

It was early summer, with the sky and clouds high in Yili, the wind was refreshing, and the grass growing lushly and upright, just like the rumored reputation of "the south of the Yangtze River" on the frontier.

The Ming soldiers stationed along the river saw the turquoise dragon banners covering the sky and the sun, and knew that the saint had arrived. For a moment, the sound of long live the mountain sounded and resounded for thirty miles of camp.

Zhu Cixuan hit the frontier, pressing the cold hilt of the sword with one hand and holding a telescope with the other, observing the enemy's defense on the other side of the river.

But I saw the Russian-Kazakh coalition forces landing in the villages along the mountains and waters, and the Luzhai trenches were spread all over the front of the formation, surrounding the entire army like a brick wall.

The time, place, and confidence were gone. He also heard that the main force of the Ming army had arrived. The general commander of the coalition army, Zinoviev, knew that he was in danger and was panicked and had no choice but to defend himself.

He knew very well that as long as he ordered his retreat, the Ming army would take the opportunity to pursue and chase them all the way, and then he would end up being wiped out!

It is also very uncomfortable to not retreat or leave. Those who are waiting for the coalition will be eroded and divided by the Ming army and eaten in one bite.

Zinoviev was anxious and could only wait patiently for the arrival of reinforcements.

Fortunately, the General Command of the Allied Forces recently issued an order saying that the reinforcements have already marched towards the Yili River Valley in a starry night, with a total of 150,000 troops!

This news was like a stimulant, which cheered up Zinoviev and ordered the coalition forces to defend the camps to the death without taking a step back!

He seemed to have had insight into His Majesty's strategic intentions. He planned to fight on both sides and strip the Ming army alive!

What excited Zinoviev the most was that the emperor of the Ming Dynasty was in the Ili River Valley! If he captured and killed him...

In the end, reason defeated the fantasy. Zinoviev knew that the most important thing at the moment was to save the army and not be defeated by the Ming army before reinforcements came. Only with life can there be hope!

The head general of the Kazakh army, Touke, suggested building a "cam city" around the position, defending and waiting for assistance, waiting for reinforcements, and then fighting to the death with the main force of the Ming army led by the Ming Emperor!

After hearing his detailed introduction, Zinoviev shouted that it was feasible and ordered the Kazakh army, who was good at this, to set up this formation.

"Camel City" is a castle built by camels. Camels are known as "Desert Boat". Whenever the climate changes suddenly, wind and sand are everywhere, and the wind and sand are flying down, the camels can rely on each other without anyone to greet them, and they can lie firmly.

When the Mongols attacked the Song Dynasty, they used this method. Now the descendants of the Golden Family are copying the homework of their ancestors again.

The son of the Khan King Touke ordered that all 15,000 camels in the army be gathered together, surrounded the positions, and put a large wooden box on the hump, covered with felt cloth and sprinkled with water to defend against the Ming army's muskets.

After the "Camel City" was laid, the musketeers of the coalition forces hid behind the Camel, and Touke arranged 20,000 archers on the hillside, waiting for the battle to prevent the Ming army from coming to attack.

The location of the coalition forces is a red hill, with a cliff that cannot be climbed on the north slope, and a steep slope that can be climbed on the south slope. There are two rivers in the northwest that flow into the Yili River, making the entire terrain easy to defend but difficult to attack.

The Russian-Kazakh coalition forces relied on the terrain to lay out the "cam city" to form a temporary city, set up a formation, and vowed to fight the Ming army to the end!

Zhu Cixuan looked at the arrangement of the coalition forces and couldn't help but chuckled: "Haha, the Russians are indeed talented in governing the army, but it's a pity that they met my Emperor Ming army!"

Similar camel city tactics are common in history, including in the East and the West. The most famous of them is the Husche Fort during the Hus War. It uses a large number of modified carriages as temporary fortifications, combined with infantry and firearms to form a formation with good defense. It was once imitated by European powers such as Hungary, Shenra, and Turkey, and is extremely powerful.

However, the counterfeit goods of the coalition forces in front of us are really discounted!

Zhu Ciyang, including all the Ming generals who graduated from the Imperial and Ming Military Academy, knew that this heavy defense tactic and other similar tactics had a fatal weakness, which was the fear of artillery!

Such a dense array provides an excellent target for artillery attack. If the shells are scattered, the opponent will basically receive them in full, and even if they are allowed, they will not be able to be abandoned!

Zhu Cixuan sang: "Li Yu! Have our army's artillery all pulled over?"

Li Yu, the Grand Governor of the Central Army Governor's Office, immediately bowed and replied: "Report to Your Majesty, all of our forty Martial Emperor cannons have been arranged! When the angle of ten degrees is tilted, our Martial Emperor cannons can range from four miles. As long as your Majesty, you can give your order, the Russians' bullshit defenses will be wiped out in an instant!"

"Okay! Then let's beat him up!"

Zhu Ciyang was no longer polite and ordered all the Martial Emperor cannons to be transferred. He ordered the entire army to report a meal at noon. After the artillery was torn open the gap in the enemy's formation, the entire army launched a charge!

At present, the Ming army divided 20,000 troops to support the Northern Army. Zhu Cixuan planned to defeat these turtle grandsons before the enemy reinforcements arrived, so that they could not join forces, so as to delay time!

After receiving the order, the Shenwu Army quickly calculated the distance and shooting angle, and based on the situation of the enemy's camel city that was discovered by the night of no collection, the forty Wuhuang cannons were rearranged with the best shelling position.

The army of Yuzhe immediately buried the pot and cooked, organized the team, and prepared to launch a sudden attack on the enemy's positions!

After lunch, all the Ming army units took their seats, and Zhu Cilang was wearing a battle robe and immediately stood in front of the formation with a majestic appearance.

When the soldiers of the three armies saw it, they were greatly motivated!

Zhu Cixuan took out a pocket watch, looked at the time, and immediately issued a combat order: "Li Yu, I'll order the Shenwu Army to bombard the Camel City!"

"Cao Minghao, I ordered you to lead the eight thousand dragon martial troops to prepare for attack. When the enemy formation breaks out, you will immediately break into the enemy army, divide it from the flanks, and disrupt its formation!"

"Qi Guangyang, I ordered you to command 30,000 infantry troops, specialize in the enemy's central army, eliminate the Hu soldiers, and capture and kill the enemy generals!"

"If the three armies obey the orders, if they are not effective in the battle, don't blame my military law for being ruthless!"

"The last general is instructed!" The generals responded loudly, and everyone was ready to go to the command of each unit.

When the Russian-Kazakh coalition forces on the opposite side saw the Ming army taking an offensive posture, they all showed nervousness. They formed a tight formation and hid in the "Camel City" under the cover of the dense forest, using smoothbore guns and bows and arrows supported by Tsarist Russia to guard against the guard.

In the central army of the Ming army, Zhu Cixuan suddenly pulled out the sword hanging from his waist, pointed it at the sky, and shouted: "Go to war!"

Seeing this, the flag bearer on the watchtower immediately waved the flag in his hand and conveyed orders to the three armies.

The Shenwu Army was the first to launch, and the forty Martial Emperor cannons roared almost at the same time.

The shells flashed with red light and smoke, exploding on the Camel City, shaking the earth trembled.

For a time, smoke filled the Camel City of the coalition forces, and flesh and blood were flying everywhere. The deaths of soldiers were different for thousands of years. Many people were directly blown into a pool of minced meat, which was a terrible sight.

However, the defense of Camel City is still good and has special effects. As soon as the Martial Emperor cannon broke open a gap, the coalition forces immediately held a group of camels and sealed the gap in time.

The musketeers ambushed behind Camel City were Russian sharpshooters selected by Zinoviev. They specifically aimed at the assault soldiers charged by the Ming army.

You have your sharpshooter, I have my sniper. At Qi Guangyang's order, the sniper battalion of the Western Army was dispatched!

Those who can enter the Ming army's sniper battalion and become snipers are all the best in the army with superb shooting skills. They shoot perfectly, shooting a little red barbarian at each shot, and enjoying their headshots!
