Daming Town Haiwang

Chapter 1011, like cutting wheat

"Come on~"

"Kill!"

Accompanied by the rumbling shelling and the howling of dense shells, the Ottoman army launched a charge, the fluttering star and moon flags fluttered, the tall Arabian war horses neighed, and the countless soldiers roared with all their strength.

Like a torrent of steel, and like a turbulent tide, the originally blue sky seemed to be shrouded by two huge black clouds. A gluttonous feast.

"Dong Dong~"

The shelling of Miyun Cannon does not mean to stop all the time. The advanced back-boring cannon technology, coupled with the pre-installed shells, makes Miyun Cannon ahead of the artillery technology of this era.

The Ottoman Empire also had artillery, but after just a few symbolic roars, it completely misfired. The violent artillery attacks formed waves of dense bullet rain.

The place covered by the bullets was a bloody mess, and the beating bullets led out bloody paths.

But this time, the impact on the well-trained Ottoman army was not too great.

The Ottoman Empire established a professional military academy, which was not only used to train officers and cultivate military talents, but also made great achievements in the training of soldiers. It has dominated the entire Western world for hundreds of years.

Although Daming's artillery fire is more powerful and terrifying than any artillery fire they have encountered before, it is not an explosive bomb after all, and its lethality is limited. Instead, it is much more useful for destroying city walls and the like.

"Rush over!"

"Kill all these heretics~"

"Kill all these Daming people~"

A commander waved a scimitar in his hand, and as they roared, the Ottoman soldiers under him kept charging.

"Stand at attention~"

"Relax~"

"Stand at attention~"

"Three shots~"

On the side of the Daming Central Army, [-] musketeers stopped at a distance of [-] steps from the Ottoman army. With a sound of orders, [-] people formed a long wall, divided into three sections, and aimed their muskets at the rushing army. Over came the Ottoman army.

"Musket?"

Ahmed finally saw clearly the types of troops in the Ming army's middle army. The [-]-strong army was completely different from the traditional infantry. Each of them was carrying muskets instead of spears.

"You want to defeat the iron army of our Ottoman Empire with muskets?"

"Dream?"

"If we really want to be defeated by muskets, our Ottoman Empire has long been killed by Europeans."

Ahmed couldn't help laughing contemptuously.

Both muskets and artillery are very popular in Europe, and the artillery and muskets of European countries are also quite powerful, but the Ottoman Empire itself also has powerful muskets and artillery units, and also has specialized combat methods against muskets and artillery.

There is no need for Ahmed's order. In the middle area of ​​the Ottoman army, a large number of archers have been prepared and quickly moved towards the direction of the Ming army, preparing to use bows and arrows to destroy the musketeers of the Ming army.

This trick is very useful in Europe.

Because the muskets in this matter have a slow rate of fire and poor accuracy, although they have an advantage in range and are also quite powerful, as long as they enter the range of the archers, relying on the rate of fire and accuracy of the bow and arrow, they can still easily Break the musketeers.

Relying on this trick, they have beaten European musketeers crying countless times on the European battlefield.

"Three hundred steps~"

"Two hundred steps~"

"One hundred and fifty steps~"

"First team, aim and shoot!"

As the distance between the two sides got closer, soon, the army of the Ottoman Empire had entered within a distance of [-] steps.

With an order, billowing white smoke rose from the Ming army camp, covering the entire army in an instant, and then countless projectiles headed towards the Ottoman army.

"Bang~"

Like a wheat wave falling against the wind, or like a wave smashed by a reef.

In an instant, the Ottoman army rushing to the front was instantly blown away by the extremely dense projectiles. In the first wave of attacks, thousands of people were hit.

Under the dense assault formation, musketeers didn't even need to aim, they could just shoot in the direction of the crowd.

"The second team~"

"Shoot~"

After the first team finished shooting, they immediately dodged to the back to reload the gunpowder, and the second team aimed at the rushing Ottoman army.

"Bang~"

Intensive gunshots sounded like fried beans, billowing white smoke enveloped the ground, and was quickly blown away by the wind, revealing the extremely neat formation of the Ming army.

"Whoo~"

Like the whistling of a gust of wind, under the gust of wind, the rushing Ottoman Empire collapsed in an instant.

"The third paragraph ~ shoot!"

A mechanical sound sounded, and another dense pellet shot past.

It was like an air wall, firmly suppressing the pace of the Ottoman army at a distance of [-] steps from the Ming army.

Under the wave after wave of bullets, countless corpses fell to the ground at a distance of [-] steps. Countless people who were shot were crying, and blood continued to gather.

"Come on~"

"Rush over~"

The commanders of the Ottoman Empire were dumbfounded, and had never encountered such a situation.

The three-stage shooting composed of tens of thousands of muskets was so powerful and terrifying, and the iron wall formed by the attack actually prevented his army from advancing at all.

Although we encountered similar all-firearms troops in Europe before, they couldn't compare with the Ming army in front of us in terms of range, speed of fire, or scale.

The distance of one hundred and fifty steps seemed to be a natural moat. No matter how the Ottoman army charged, there was always no way to advance at this distance.

They are in a hurry~
The distance of one hundred and fifty steps (in ancient times, one step is a step, and two steps is a step, so the distance of one step is almost more than one meter), and the range of the bow and arrow, even if it is the Ingram longbow with the longest range, It's only a distance of one hundred and fifty steps. As for other bows and arrows, they can't reach such a long range.

The effective range of ordinary bows and arrows is basically within a hundred steps. For the armored Ming army, bows and arrows beyond a hundred steps, even if they can hit, the lethality is basically negligible.

There was no way to get his bow and arrow within range, and he could only watch helplessly as the musketeers on the Ming army's side were like harvesting wheat. With waves of shooting, the Ottoman army that rushed up fell one after another.

In just a short while, under a few waves of shooting, tens of thousands of people fell into a pool of blood.

"Your Highness, the cavalry must be dispatched!"

Looking at the scene on the battlefield, Mustafa couldn't help but suggest to Ahmed.

It is necessary to disperse the firearms troops of the Ming army, otherwise, if the fight continues like this, the Ottoman army will undoubtedly be defeated.

The Ming army harvested the army of the Ottoman Empire just standing there, and there were not even casualties at that time.

It is obviously difficult to break through the blockade of the enemy Musketeers just by the infantry's charge.

"However, [-] cavalry are waiting for us on their two wings."

"Once our cavalry is dispatched, they will inevitably wait for the opportunity."

The smile on Ahmed's face has disappeared completely. Once the war started, his side suffered extremely heavy losses. The army rushing to the front had already lost [-] to [-] people, but the Ming army had even one casualty. nothing.

"Your Highness, I can't take care of that much anymore. Now we have to deal with the musketeers of the Chinese army, and then deal with their cavalry. The cavalry of our Ottoman Empire can easily crush the cavalry of the Ming army."

Mustafa said anxiously, because the order to retreat was not issued, the Ottoman army was still rushing forward to die like a tide, wave after wave.

The muskets of the Ming army are really terrible.

With [-] muskets, under three shots, each wave of attack is like a sickle of death, harvesting the lives of the soldiers of the Ottoman Empire.

"Cavalry attack!"

Ahmed pondered for a while, then gritted his teeth and gave the order.

Soon, the Ottoman cavalry, who were originally on the rear and flanks, began to move.

The cavalry of the Ottoman Empire is divided into two types, one is Sipahi, also known as Spark, Sipahi is the feudal cavalry of the Ottoman Empire, almost equivalent to European knights, owning their own land, usually considered a feudal military The nobles prepared their own horses, weapons, armor, etc. during the war, and responded to the call of the Ottoman Sultan.

The other is the Kapkuru cavalry, which is a cavalry under the personal command of the Ottoman Sultan. All expenses are paid by the Ottoman Central Committee, and they also have a proud salary.

The selection is extremely strict, proficient in various weapons, tall and strong, wearing heavy armor, holding heavy weapons such as tomahawks and warhammers, specially targeting European heavy cavalry, proficient in bows and horses, and extremely lethal. They have always been rampant in European wars, It is the strongest cavalry in this matter.

However, the expenditure and consumption of the Kapkuru cavalry is very huge. It is always the most powerful thing in the Ottoman Empire in history, and the number is only [-].

This time, all the cavalry led by Ahmed are Sipahi cavalry. This kind of cavalry is also basically wearing armor, holding heavy weapons, proficient in bows and horses, rich in combat experience, and extremely powerful cavalry. In war, the knights of the Teutonic Knights and Hospitallers have always been beaten.

For such a powerful cavalry, even Mustafa is also full of confidence. The cavalry of the Ottoman Empire is a powerful cavalry that swept across the powerful neighbors, whether it is the Mongols on the grassland, the Persians, or the spirit of chivalry. The prevailing Europeans, or the Arabs, they have all won and have brilliant records!
