my days with tyrants

Chapter 364 Supplies vs Consumables
Erzincan.

Both sides are arrayed.

This place is a leaf-shaped valley in the mountains, the widest part is only twenty miles, and the surroundings are all high mountains, so it is difficult for the two sides to do anything else, that is, to form a decisive battle.

"My lord, the enemy army will not exceed [-]."

Zhu Neng who got off the hot air balloon said.

"It's less than 50 but boasting [-]. The Ottomans are also very good at bragging!"

Zhu Di said with a smile.

The men around him burst into laughter.

"My lord, they can't play any tricks on this terrain. They are arrayed with three armies. From the sky, their left wing is more elite. The core is plate armored cavalry similar to ours. The power is not weak, but most of the rest are infantry, and they should be wearing cloth face armor. The Chinese army is not as good as them, and the armor is also very messy. In fact, they are mainly infantry, and there are cavalry, but I don’t know why they are all in formation. Behind, as for the right wing, it should be Aries Turkmen, just ordinary archer cavalry.

At present, they have very few firearms, at least I can see very few, and it seems that at most they are the ones we used more than ten years ago.

You can't even see the Hongwu Cannon. "

Zhu Neng continued.

"The left wing should be Serbs, and their commander is King Stefan Lazarevich. They are composed of the king and his knights and knights' retinues. During the battle, these knights charge forward, and the retinues follow behind. As for The Ottomans should be conscripting infantry in front, for expendable use, Bayezid’s Janissary Guards are behind, and their Sipahi cavalry should be at the end, similar to Serbian knights. As for firearms, they really have very few , or mainly bows and arrows, the battlefield is attacked by Sipahi cavalry."

The Armenian prince beside Zhu Di said.

The earliest record of the Ottomans using firearms was 20 years later, but it is also said that they were used in the Battle of Kosovo more than ten years ago, but there is no clear record.

Anyway, it's still in its infancy.

"So the King of Serbia, who was killed by Bayezid just now, has now become Bayezid's loyal dog?"

Zhu Di said.

"Uh, how can it be his turn to be king if his father is not dead?
Besides, Bayezid's own father was also killed by the Serbs, so there is no reason for the two not to like each other.

They are said to be on good terms. "

said the prince with a smile.

Everyone laughed again.

This is indeed the truth, how can he become a king if his father is not dead?
It seems that the two have hatred for each other's father-killing, but in fact they are mutual benefactors!

"Send someone to tell Bayezid that Daming is the upper kingdom, so that he won't feel that Daming is bullying him, both of us can send some people to compete before the battle.

I send out a thousand soldiers, and he also sends out a thousand soldiers. "

Zhu Di said to the prince.

Immediately the prince called one of his men and told him to go to Bayezid.

The latter came back soon.

Bayezid agreed.

After all, Bayezid didn't know the fighting power of the Ming army, so he also wanted to see the strength of this strange opponent.

"Fancha, take your men to battle, and when Bayezid is captured alive, I will reward you with his concubine."

Zhu Di said with a smile.

Of course, this kind of thing can't go to the Ming army.

This is an experimental product, a small white mouse. As the strongest combat power, it is impossible to be the first to enter the field. Pure consumables such as Fancha are the best to use.

"My lord, can I play with his concubine in front of him then?"

Fancha said with a wretched smile.

"Uh, you still have such a hobby, it's really shameless, then you can do whatever you want!"

Zhu Di said in astonishment.

"Brothers, follow me for Bayezid's concubine!"

Fancha shouted excitedly.

Immediately afterwards, he led his men to dismount...

Well, they still prefer to fight on foot rather than on horseback, but these guys are full of heavy armor, not even a single layer. In addition to the high-quality armor they originally bought on loan, they also add various armors captured.Although it was spring at this time, the spring temperature on the Anatolian Plateau was just right. The infantrymen who looked like iron towers carried all kinds of cold weapons they liked, and moved forward like wasteland-style garbage belts, and arrived soon. They stopped in the first half of the formation.

And Bayezid sent Serbs.

It has to be said that on this point, he and Zhu Di have a good understanding, and everyone uses their consumables to test each other's combat effectiveness.

A hundred Serbian knights brought their retinue infantry. The knights had chain armor and plate armor outside. It seemed that they already had the style of plate armor knights, but they had not yet evolved to the realm of Gothic full-body armor.

But even so, they were already so strong that the arrows of the Ottomans in the Battle of Kosovo could barely hurt them, but the latter's infantry brought them down.

As for the subordinates, they are basically cloth face armor or armed clothing.

Both sides did not attack immediately, but looked at each other curiously, but this scene was still very weird.

The Eight Banners Manchuria Heavy Infantry vs Serbian Knights...

It's really weird.

Immediately afterwards, the Serbian archers first started to shoot arrows, but Fancha and his subordinates did not fight back. They were all covered with multiple heavy armors. As long as these bows and arrows are not close range, casual shooting like this kind of throwing will not break the defense at all.In the rain of arrows shot by the Serbs, my ancestors in the Qing Dynasty held up their shields calmly. Although they didn't break the defense, they still had to protect them symbolically. It would be bad if they fell on the face.At the same time, the infantry on the opposite side began to move forward. They all had spears and battle axes. In fact, as one of the Slavs, battle axes are still very common.

My ancestors in the Qing Dynasty quickly entered the battle state. The archers prepared their bows and arrows in front, and waited quietly with their flail sticks in the back.

The Serbian infantry began to run with shouts.

My ancestors of the Qing Dynasty drew their bows, and the Serbs on the opposite side continued to run wildly, and the archers quickly shot their arrows ten steps away.

The precise sharp arrows pierced into the Serbian's body one by one.

The latter instinctively raised the shield, striking forward like a stretching city wall.

On the other hand, the archers retreated quickly, and at the same time, the flailers raised their flails. Under the impact of the Serbs, the flails fell one by one, bypassing the shield's iron-clad stick with three-edged nails, and brutally hit the Serbia behind the shield. people.Amid the screams of the latter, the shields fell to the ground, and the archers behind the flail rods opened their bows, and the sharp arrows at close range pierced the Serbs' faces one by one, but the Serbs behind them also swung their bows. Tomahawk spear attack.However, the soldiers of the Zhao Sheng Army, who were in heavy armor all over their bodies, ignored these attacks and continued to hit them with their flails. This thing requires strength, but the effect is excellent. Iron wood sticks, because they are connected by iron chains, ignore shields.

This is because West Asia, the Middle East and even Eastern Europe like to use shields, so they specialize in hand-to-hand combat training.

The Zhao Sheng Army is a truly professional army.

This is the Order of Knights.

Everyone is proficient in all kinds of combat. They can be cavalry when they are mounted, and infantry when they are dismounted. They are brave enough to fight wild beasts in the cold of minus [-] degrees, just like a group of wandering wolves biting everything that can be eaten.

Their world is only killing, killing others or being killed by others.

They regard other people's lives as insignificant, and they also regard their own lives as insignificant.

They are good at self-hypnosis, and they regard death in battle as the beginning of a happy life in the next life.

However, the Serbs are not weak chickens. These are actually Kosovo mountain people. The two sides entered into a bloody fight. The flails of the Zhao Shengjun smashed the heads of the Serbs, and the latter's battle axes also fell on the soldiers of the Zhao Shengjun. The Serbian soldiers kept falling under the precise shooting of the sharp arrows, and their armor-piercing swords kept piercing the gaps in the armor of the soldiers of the Zhao Sheng Army in the chaos.

This thing stabbed Bayezid's father.

And at this moment, the hundred knights who had not moved behind began to move forward.

"Your Majesty?"

Kun Timur looked at Zhu Di.

Zhu Di waved his hand.

In this case, Kun Timur doesn't care.

Although he is the commander-in-chief of the Zhao Sheng Army, he just came here to make a fortune and then go back to spend his time, so he doesn't need to care about the casualties of his subordinates.

Zhao Shengjun is indeed a desperado, but he is not a desperado, he is a serious Marquis, the hereditary general of Hanhai.

The main reason why Fancha worked so hard was because he wanted to succeed him.

At this time, Fancha on the battlefield was also ready, and all the archers were replaced with special armor-piercing arrows.

With the sound of horns, the Serbian infantry in the melee retreated at the fastest speed, and at the same time the attacking knights also began to accelerate, with spears raised on their horses, and the soldiers of the Zhao Holy Army who had no time to re-arrange in front of them They retreated without hesitation, and quickly retreated behind the archers who had been maintaining their formation.Immediately afterwards, a famous archer shot their heavy arrows at the knights, and the slender armor-piercing arrows, like a flat screwdriver, fell on the knights with the sound of piercing the air.The high-quality forged steel heat-treated arrow cluster instantly penetrates the mild steel or wrought iron plate on the latter's body...

This is the beginning of the fifteenth century.

High-quality plate armor has not yet become cheap.

How can these ordinary knights have any top quality plate armor!
But Zhao Shengjun and these guys are the limit of ancient compound bows plus real forged steel arrow clusters...

The hardness of both sides is not the same level.

As the knights kept falling, the archers who completed the first round of archery had no time to shoot the second round, while the flailers who picked up their spears from the ground behind them set up a spear on their shoulders as quickly as possible. The Zhangba spear pointed directly at the knights rushing over.

While the latter knocked down these soldiers of the Zhao Sheng Army, he was also stabbed with spears one after another, and then knocked off his horse.

Immediately afterwards, the soldiers of the Zhao Holy Army rushed towards the knight on the ground with their armor-piercing cones in their hands.

Of the last hundred knights, less than 20 escaped back. Although the Zhao Sheng Army had more casualties than them, this kind of battle is worth two for one.

Who are Zhao Shengjun?

Bad life.

Even the armor was bought with a loan.

Of course, they are not prepared to repay the loan. As long as they never go back, they will never have to repay the loan.

Even when Yang Feng gave them a loan, he didn't plan for them to repay the loan. Compared with the cost of sending an additional [-] troops to the Western Regions, the money for the armor and horses of the [-] Zhao Sheng Army is really nothing.

But these knights are small lords.

"My lord, this is what the Tessie knights said. Our five guards are already invincible when we get to them. These armors may be able to block the three-eyed gun bullets or shotgun shells, but they can't even block the short-range shooting of the short guns. If it is a magic gun, it is estimated that it can penetrate a hundred steps away. They have no ability to break through our camel city. However, their bows and arrows need to be guarded. These bows and arrows shoot light arrows farther than our bows, and they are easy to hurt the camel city. The horses inside."

Zhu Neng said with a smile as he looked at the Zhao Shengjun who stripped off the knight's armor and snatched the knight's horse on the battlefield.

It is Zhu Di's principle to continue going west, and now they finally have the opportunity to see the real Taixi army, but they are relieved in the end.

Just such an army doesn't care at all.

"We still have to solve the problem of siege. We don't have to be afraid of them in the camel city field battle, but we can't count on those field artillery after all."

Zhu Di said.

"But with siege guns, it's hard for us to move quickly."

Zhu Neng said.

"Your Highness, you can go by sea. As long as you take Trebzon, you can go to all the ports along the Black Sea."

said the Prince of Armenia.

"Uh, aren't they your fellow teachers?"

Zhu Neng said in astonishment.

"So the general knows who destroyed our Armenian kingdom? It was the emperor of Constantinople. Yes, our country was not destroyed by pagans, but by our brothers in the same religion. Our hundreds of years of suffering It all started from that day, and now His Highness and Emperor Ming have given us our own country again."

said the prince.

"It's good for you to think this way. If I really hit these countries, then you will be the imperial merchants, the imperial merchants of the Ming Dynasty, and all the business will be handed over to you. Go, let someone tell Bayezid, I will send another 1000 people, He also sends another 1000 people, let's continue."

Zhu Di said to the Prince of Armenia.

The latter hurriedly sent another person.

"My lord, do you want them to collapse by themselves?"

Zhu Neng said.

Zhu Di handed him the high-power lens in his hand...

"You look at how their left wing, including their center, reacted to the defeat of the Serbs, they were laughing.

mob.

They are all mobs.

Yang Feng is right, except for our Ming Dynasty, there is no country in this world that has truly established a system that is only loyal to one emperor. All countries are patchwork, and all countries are just mobs.

mob. "

Zhu Di sneered.

Well, in the high-powered mirror that Zhu Neng held up, there was indeed joy.

Isn't it normal for the Ottomans to be happy when the Serbs are unlucky?Ten years ago, they were still fighting bloody in the mountains of Kosovo. Similarly, if the Ottomans were unlucky, I believe the Serbs would be just as happy. Even if the Ottomans were unlucky, their other servants would also be very happy. Such an army cannot bear defeat at all. If they see doomed failure, they will collapse by themselves, so let them despair!Anyway, their true strength has been tested.
