Chapter 110 Humiliation
Alexei's demise has become inevitable, and the Russian army will not have any way out when they are flanked by front and back on a mountain road.

Dombrovsky ignored the group of Circassians. The order he gave himself was to help the Circassians take down the Russian army, and he himself blocked the exit.

As for how the Circassians want to deal with the Russian army, that is their own business.

Facts have proved that the men on the grassland are never soft. Sultan and Sheri Fali almost wiped out the Russian army.

This kind of elimination is not as simple as just killing prisoners. The cruelty of the grassland people is fully revealed at this moment.

The Circassians killed the Russian army with axes, swords, and muskets. They treated the Russian officers like they were peeling off the fur of wild animals. The screams made the scalp numb.

Afterwards, the corpses of nearly ten thousand Russian troops were thrown into the valley. Perhaps future businessmen can see a lot of bones when they pass this mountain road.

Although Dombrovsky was not there, he still heard the scream, and it was far less than what Sultan and Sherifali did to Major General Alexei.

They deliberately brought each other into the convoy, then killed a cow and wet the hide.

The weather these few days has been fine, and the sun has been shining brightly all the way. They wrapped Alexei in wet cowhide and exposed him to the sun.

The sun scorched the cowhide mercilessly, the water evaporated little by little, and the cowhide became tighter and tighter.

For Major General Alexei, who was wrapped in cowhide, this was almost unbearable torture.

He wanted to shout, but he couldn't make any sound at all, the cowhide had strangled his neck, and even breathing became difficult.

It was already July, and the high temperature and oppression made the life of Major General Alexei feel like years, and he hoped to die immediately.

But Sultan and Sherifali would never give him this chance. Every time when Major General Alexei was about to lose consciousness, they would pour another ladle of water to restore the elasticity of the already stretched cowhide.

Major General Alexei was sometimes fed some food and water by servants assigned by Sultan and Sherifali.

In this way, when the other Circassians had already evacuated, Sultan, Sherifali and a group of Circassian light cavalry, accompanied by Dombrovsky, arrived at a distance from Circassian. The nearest Russian fortress of the Sri Lankans.

Two Circassian light cavalry put Major General Alexei on his horse, and they rushed to the vicinity of the fortress as fast as they could, leaving Major General Alexei outside the fortress.

The Russian defenders in the fortress were a little unclear, until Sultan and Sheri Fali arranged for someone to fly a flag written in Russian.

"This is your major general, damn Russian!"

The Russian army commander Vasily felt extremely annoyed, and he wanted to rescue his useless commander.

After all, after Repnin left, this guy was the highest commander. If he really died here, and the other party's family caused trouble, who would he turn to for reasoning?

But he had no chance, Circassian cavalry and an army of about 4000 men were watching him outside.

And he only has a thousand people on hand, if he really goes out, he probably just heard something loud.

In fact, if there were only Circassians around, Vasily would not be afraid at all. The majestic army of the Russian Empire would be afraid of a group of savages who couldn't even get a gun.

The cavalry of this group of people is really powerful, but I not only have guns, but also cannons. After forming a phalanx, how dare your cavalry go up.

It can be said that this is the fact that this group of foreign troops has deterred Vasily. If Repnin was present at ordinary times, Vasily would not talk nonsense and was about to start an armed parade on the border

But now, Major General Alexei led nearly [-] people out, and it ended up like this. The strength of the opponent can be imagined.

Especially when Vasili caught a glimpse of a heavy cavalry on the opposite side with a telescope, he didn't go out. I don't know if he will be troubled in the future, but he must be dead if he goes out now.

"Just where did this army come from?"

Vasily was very puzzled. Only the Ottoman Empire could come up with an army of about 4000 people mixed with a heavy cavalry.

But how dare the Ottoman Empire, the last time it was just a fluke, this time they dare to provoke the empire?
As time passed, almost no one cared about Major General Alexei who was thrown on the ground. The sun scorched the earth, and Major General Alexei gradually woke up. As the moisture in the cowhide passed away, the tightness became more come stronger.

Major General Alexei's struggle became stronger and stronger. In a trance, through the small opening made by the Circassians in the cowhide, he caught a glimpse of Vasily standing on the top of the city, which lifted his spirits.

Major General Alexei shouted with all his strength.

"Help me, hurry up, Vasily."

And Vasily was stunned by the sudden yell at this moment, what the hell, you made it like this, and you can still talk.

And judging from this voice, the other party is really the major general.

This made it difficult for Vasily. Originally, the reason why he didn't rescue him immediately was because he planned to say that he could not confirm his identity. To ensure the safety of the fortress, he should not send troops at will.

But when Major General Alexei shouted, he couldn't help it.

It is definitely impossible to go out of the city. Sending a small team down to save people is probably dead. It is impossible for the other party to let him rescue people so easily.

Vasily's eyes gradually became dangerous. Since the problem cannot be solved, only the person with the problem can be solved.

"Fire, aim at him."

Vasily gave orders to the adjutant next to him indifferently.

"Fire! Commander, the following is .
"There's nothing wrong with it, if you don't want to get troubled in the future, just do as I say, otherwise you might lose your life.

Passed down, Major General Alexei had already died for his country, and the one in front of him was just someone pretended by the enemy, hoping to deceive the fortress.

We can't fall into the enemy's tricks, we want to show our determination to stick to the fortress, so we directly shelled this fake. "

Seeing that the adjutant hadn't left, Vasili suddenly felt angry, and he roared angrily.

"What are you still doing, go, idiot."

Seeing the superior's appearance, the adjutant trembled with fright, and acted immediately.

After a while, the artillery on the fortress made a loud noise. After the first few shells missed, one finally hit Major General Alexei who was thrown on the ground.

Blood and minced meat splashed and sprinkled on the ground, making an abrupt piece appear on the blue grassland.

The Circassians laughed loudly, and they laughed wildly and left here with the army that Vasily had never seen.

Looking to the south, Vasily stared at the opponent until he could no longer see the back of the enemy.

He glanced back at the fortress, summoned his guards, and asked them to pass orders to many officers.

The enemy is gone, it's time to clean up.

　Thanks to Zhuge Ruosu, panzer5, AM-Kuznetsov for the monthly pass.

　　Sorry, got the title wrong, it should be "humiliating".
