Daming Town Haiwang

Chapter 1012, the strong are more powerful
"Their cavalry is finally dispatched!"

Huo Ying, who had been observing the changes on the battlefield, smiled.

"Immediately order Liao Yuan to act according to the plan!"

"Yes~"

Soon, the semaphore soldiers began to wave the flags in their hands, and the war drums also began to sound the horns of the cavalry attack.

"Attack~"

After receiving the order, Liao Yuan drew out the saber in his hand, and took the lead in attacking the flanks of the Ottoman army.

Tens of thousands of cavalry were running on the ground, and the dull sound of horseshoes was like a rolling tide, and the ground seemed to start to shake.

"kill!"

"Let these Ming people know how powerful our Kapasi of the Ottoman Empire is!"

Seeing the cavalry of the Ming Dynasty start to move, the cavalry of the Ottoman Empire was naturally not to be outdone, and with roars, they also rushed towards the cavalry of the Ming army.

Only by first defeating the cavalry of the Ming army and opening the protection of the two wings of the Ming army to the musketeers of the Chinese army can they rely on the cavalry to flank the huge musketeer phalanx.

"kill!"

Wearing armor and holding a sharp saber, Liao Yuan rode Juechen and rushed towards the enemy like a tiger descending a mountain.

As the distance between the two sides got closer, Liao Yuan was able to clearly see everything about the enemy in front of him. Even though he was wearing a helmet, he could still clearly see that they had thick beards and armored bodies. .

This kind of armor is made of plate armor and chain armor connected to each other, and its defense is quite good. Each of them holds a machete in their hands, and some hold heavy weapons.

This is always an extremely powerful cavalry.

This was Liao Yuan's first feeling, and then he couldn't help his blood boil.

The cavalry of the Ottoman Empire swept all directions, and the cavalry of the Ming Dynasty was no different. The Mongols in the northern grassland, the Kazakhs in the western grassland, and the Turks were all defeated by the cavalry of the Ming Dynasty.

The Ming cavalry is also very confident, and it is even more exciting to meet a strong opponent.

"Bow and Arrow~"

However, Liao Yuan did not fight without a head. With Liao Yuan's roar, he took off the bow and arrow on his back very skillfully, bent the bow and shot the arrow, very skillfully, an arrow was like a shooting star, and an Ottoman Empire that was coming towards him The cavalry fell.

Behind Liao Yuan, all the charging soldiers did the same. The bows and arrows in their hands sent out bursts of arrow rain, covering the cavalry group of the Ottoman Empire in a blink of an eye, and a large number of figures fell off their horses like dumplings.

Sipahi of the Ottoman Empire is also not to be outdone, and is also proficient in bow and horse. In the battle between cavalry, the first thing to compare is riding and shooting.

A large amount of arrow rain roared towards the cavalry of the Ming army. However, the armor worn by the Ming army was produced by the Miyun Iron Works. It's like nothing, tanks walking like a hail of bullets.

Let your arrows rain like rain, and I have no reaction at all.

"Heavy cavalry?"

Mustafa witnessed this scene with his own eyes, and couldn't help opening his eyes wide.

There are heavy cavalry in Europe, the whole body is covered in thick armor protection, the defense of heavy armor is amazing, it is difficult for ordinary bows and arrows to effectively kill them.

The Ming army cavalry in front of him originally belonged to the light cavalry in his opinion, because the armor they wore did not look thick, and they were still very different from the heavy cavalry in Europe.

However, now, judging from the shooting of bows and arrows between the two sides, they seem to be heavy cavalry. If it is ordinary light cavalry armor, it is impossible to perfectly resist the shooting of bows and arrows.

Before he could figure it out, the cavalrymen of both sides slammed into each other after a few shots.

Armors and swords reflected dazzling light under the sunlight, the horses roared continuously, and the sounds of fighting kept coming and going.

"kill~"

The saber in Liao Yuan's hand slashed fiercely at an Ottoman cavalry. With the friction of steel, sparks flew everywhere, but the knife did not cause any substantial damage to the opponent, and the opponent's armor was quite good.

"You can't fight them head-on like this. You still have to keep a distance and rely on bows and arrows to kill them."

It was just a short fight, and Liao Yuan knew in his heart that if the Ottoman Empire fought recklessly, he might not be defeated, but the loss would definitely be huge.

Although the sabers in the hands of the Ming army are sharp, they are obviously less effective in the face of this kind of Ottoman cavalry who are all in armor. However, the prisoners of war, heavy hammers, and broadswords in the hands of the Ottoman Empire are very lethal to the Ming army. big.

Sure enough, in the battle between the two cavalry, a large number of figures on both sides fell off their horses. The armor of each other was very good, and the defense was strong. It was not easy to break through the armor of the other side.

"Keep a distance, use the bow and arrow to kill the enemy~"

"Their armor is too heavy, and they are not suitable for running back and forth at all."

Liao Yuan quickly adjusted his combat method. The huge cavalry regiment made a big roundabout on the open grassland, quickly opened up the distance, and then bent their bows and shot arrows again, so as not to head-on with the Ottoman cavalry.

"Hey~"

Accompanied by the rapid flying of the arrow rain, a large number of cavalry rushing towards the Ming army fell down one after another. The armor of the Ottoman Empire was effective in defending against swords, but the defense against the bows and arrows of the Ming army seemed ineffective.

When the Mongols conquered Eastern Europe and defeated the European heavy cavalry, they relied on bows and arrows. Relying on the endurance of the Mongolian horse and the lightness of the Mongolian bow, the European heavy cavalry was sent to the grave.

For Liao Yuan, who is studying at the military academy, these are almost all must-learn, and he will adopt whatever combat plan he encounters.

The Ming cavalry, because the armor is very hard and light, can be used as light cavalry like the Mongolian cavalry, relying on sabers and bows to kill the enemy, and like the European heavy cavalry, relying on powerful armor to fight the enemy at close range .

As for which method to adopt, it all depends on the needs on the battlefield.

To deal with Mongolian cavalry, Kazakh cavalry and Turkic cavalry, it can be compared with bows and arrows or close combat. To deal with Ottoman cavalry, you can also fight with them, and you can also use bows and arrows.

The cavalry of the Ming army circled on the grassland, and the rain of arrows attacked and chased the cavalry of the Ottoman Empire.

The fight between the two sides was inseparable, the ground was faintly shaken by the trampling of the war horses, and the sky and the earth were filled with the roars of both sides.

"First team, shoot!"

On the battlefield of the Chinese army, the Ming army's musket attacks continued wave after wave, but the charge of the Ottoman army began to come to a standstill.

At a distance of one hundred and fifty steps, corpses were piled up like a mountain, blood flowed like a river, and the wailing sounds of wounded soldiers who hadn't died were everywhere.

"Stand at attention~"

"Relax~"

"Let's go~"

Seeing that the Ottoman army no longer launched a charge, the Ming army took the initiative to advance towards the Ottoman army.

With an order, the [-] musketeers of the Chinese army lined up in a neat line, marching towards the Ottoman army with uniform steps.

"Come on!"

Ahmed's eyes were blood red. The Ming army was about to penetrate the Chinese army here. After a short fight, tens of thousands of people just confessed here, but the Ming army did not suffer any casualties.

Looking at the battle between the cavalry on the two wings, the situation was relatively better. The cavalry of the Ming army was chased and beaten by the cavalry of the Ottoman Empire. They did not dare to fight with themselves head-on, but played a game of shooting each other.

Following Ahmed's order, the Ottoman army had to rush towards the Ming army again.

If the enemy enters, I will stop!

The Musketeers stopped advancing again, arranged in three sections, aiming their muskets with black holes at the rushing Ottoman army. With an order, dense gunshots sounded, and the Ottoman soldiers were harvested like wheat.

"Your Highness, since the cavalry of the Ming army dare not fight us hard, we will use the cavalry to attack their Musketeers."

Mustafa is a qualified general who knows the importance of adapting to changes in war.

The battle between the infantry and the Ming army was almost a one-sided massacre, and now they can only rely on the cavalry.

"Pass down the order, don't get entangled with the cavalry of the Ming army, and attack their musketeers!"

Ahmed nodded and issued new orders.

Soon, Sipahi of the Ottoman Empire, who was entangled with the Ming army cavalry, gave up chasing the Ming army cavalry, and quickly rushed towards the Ming army's musketeers.

"Combine!"

Seeing this scene, Huo Ying also quickly gave orders.

Soon, the [-] musketeers began to change, and the musketeers on both sides quickly gathered together. In a blink of an eye, the horizontal row became a huge square, and muskets were aimed at the cavalry who rushed over.

"Humph!"

"Really think that our Ming's Musketeers are easy to bully?"

Huo Ying couldn't help but smile when he saw the Ottoman cavalry rushing over confidently.

Musketeers against cavalry is a compulsory subject for training. After all, cavalry is the strongest in every country in this era. If musketeers cannot deal with cavalry, they will only be killed.

"Team [-]~Aim~"

"shooting!"

As the Ottoman cavalry got closer and closer, billowing white smoke rose with an order, and the lead pellets were fleeting, and soon bloomed a flower on the body of an Ottoman cavalry. blood flower.

Just like what the infantry faced, the distance of one hundred and fifty steps was almost a line of death, like a moat, and all Ottoman cavalry who rushed into this distance would be knocked off their horses by muskets.

Under the intensive musket attack, there is no difference between cavalry and infantry, the only difference is that they can charge closer.

"Attack the enemy's middle army, kill!"

Seeing that they stopped playing archery with him, Liao Yuan immediately seized the opportunity to lead the cavalry towards Ahmed's position.
