The morale of the other side was changed, the Southeast Army was greatly encouraged, Yan Changwu ordered to blow the trumpet and counterattack on the whole front!

It was four o'clock in the afternoon, and the officers and soldiers of the southeast who had been standing moved their stiff bodies a little, and naturally formed a neat line, and their training was already in the bones!

They marched forward in a neat formation, firmly and forcefully, skillfully loading their muskets, turning their fingers into a rain of bullets, killing everything along the way, and beating the Ottoman corpses all over the field, which was irreparable!

They have so much ammunition that it seems to be inexhaustible, and God knows how much ammunition the Chinese transported to the battlefield for this battle.

The abundance of ammunition allowed the musketeers to fire a "thunderous salvo", and the shock and power of the bombardment were unparalleled.

Such an achievement required considerable training, a mechanical drill advocated by the leader, which was based on the inhuman Prussian discipline he had seen.

Only strict discipline and continuous training can turn the army into an instrument with a unified mind and will.

Before the start of the war, Prussia marched in columns as companies, and when they reached the battlefield, they turned or turned between marches, and the queue became a horizontal line for firing.

The queue training and formation changes that are constantly practiced on the parade ground are the tactical formations and movements actually used on the battlefield.

No one on the battlefield is allowed to make any moves other than those prescribed without orders, and even the victorious troops must remain in formation and not pursue the defeated enemy without permission. Otherwise, the disorganized army will not be able to maintain its firepower and will easily get into a precarious situation.

It seems to be very dull to do this, but the big army will fight, and it is impossible to do any tricks.

In a battle of this magnitude, even the commander-in-chief cannot "micro-manipulate", he can only go with the flow, they can give orders to fight, and once the fight starts, everything will be chaotic.

The officers and men of the Southeast Army, who bask in the sun every day and walk in a queue that has worked so hard, have finally paid off. In any case, the Southeast Army is so well-trained, and its strength is there, although the Baotou people have gods, but the gods can't save their defeated fate.

Ihasan Pasha, who was supervising the battle from a high position in the rear, saw the bad signs before the collapse of the army, and the Ottomans, who were already exhausted, finally wavered, some troops broke up, many slipped away, and even individual officers and clan leaders fled the battlefield with their entire troops!

These soulless deserters further brought morale to the trough and abyss, and although many Ottoman officers and soldiers tried to cheer up, they shouted passionate religious slogans again and again, trying to turn the tide, and many warriors rushed towards the Chinese like moths to a fire, and those warriors had only two layers of armor: cloth clothes + skins!

Seeing death as home, however, the muzzle of the black hole hole of the southeast army made the Ottomans suddenly fall down like wheat under the farmer's sickle, and what made the Ottomans hate it even more was that they saw a golden flag, the Chinese leader under the golden flag was heroic, he rode a horse and ran, cheering up the soldiers, and he had realized that the critical moment in the war that was enough to change his fate had arrived, and he gave the order for a general attack!

The trumpeters puffed out their cheeks and blew the trumpets of attack.

The morale of the southeastern army was like a rainbow, and their close-range salvo caused a large area of collapse in the formation of the Ottomans!

Yan Changwu threw all the reserves behind the position into battle, and they swarmed with shouts and pressed down like an avalanche!

The Ottomans, who were already exhausted and fluctuating, were suddenly struck by the strength of these new forces, and the formation finally collapsed, and they fell into a state of confusion, panic flooded like a flood, and the troops lost control, and were completely defeated!

The infantry of the Southeast Army pursued and killed for a while, only to feel exhausted and completely lost the interest of "waving the national flag around the field".

At this time, the cavalry of the Southeast Army appeared, this cavalry unit is the cavalry unit of the Fifth Army Zukefa, from a variety of sources, including the former Ming army, Tatars, Mongols, etc., they guarded the rear defense line during the battle, and were ordered to drop their horses as infantry to use, not to fight with the Ottoman cavalry, and there were more than 8,000 people.

As night fell, they mounted their horses and hunted down the Ottomans, ghostly through the dimly lit battlefields or burning villages to hunt down the Baotous, many of whom did not spare those who surrendered, slashing their heads, chopping off their arms!

The Ottomans were so frightened by this barbarism that they lost the will to resist, and for a time the roads, bridges, fields, and valleys leading to Homs in the rear were filled with the remnants of the defeated army who looked panicked and wanted to flee for their lives.

No one organized a revolt, and Ihasan Pasha was the fastest runner, and he fled smoothly back to the city of Homs with his cavalry.

He climbed the city wall, and everywhere he saw the mountains were full of his deserters, leaving him completely speechless!

The battle is like this, he has done his best, is the soldiers not heroic? No! The charging Ottomans were all warriors......

The cavalry attacking the rear of the Southeastern Army also fled back to the city of Homs, and they still had tens of thousands of men, and the enraged Ihasan Pasha ordered their commander Feda Pasha to be tied up and prepared to be martialed!

It was he who first ordered the retreat, so that it affected the situation of the battle!

Feda Pasha said miserably: "It's not a pity for me to die, but I have to leave a little seed for the cavalry, we can't win!" ”

He said loudly: "We can't win, I saw on the telescope, they even picked up muskets, all the people picked up muskets, let their firepower double at once, we will die as much as we go!" ”

That's right, at the most critical time, the 20,000 civilians in the ranks of the Southeast Army all picked up their muskets and joined the battlefield.

They didn't train very hard, they couldn't fight, they weren't skilled in fighting, but they all used flintlock pistols.

It takes a long time to practice using bows and arrows, but the flintlock pistol is simple to use, with a crosshairs to aim, even if they fire one shot per minute, it is 20,000 shots, and the firepower is doubled.

This reserve came in handy, the Ottoman cavalry suffered, and the possible victory flew away!

Ihasan Pasha stared at Feida Pasha, who looked at him calmly, and Ihasan Pasha waved his hand: "Take him down and let Istanbul dispose of it!" ”

He sent people out of the city to collect the defeated troops, only to find that the battle suffered heavy losses, the original 200,000 troops, actually killed 100,000 people, and 50,000 routed and left, only 50,000 recovered.

Early the next morning, he left more than 10,000 men to defend the city of Homs, and he withdrew with the remnants of his troops to Apoll further north.

The Southeastern Army was beaming, they had won!

More than 30,000 people were killed in the battle, and more than 30,000 were wounded, which was the largest loss in the history of the southeastern army, but it was worth it, completely breaking the myth of the king of land warfare of the Ottomans and making this paper tiger appear.

The war was far-reaching, and after the defeat at Cairo and the crushing defeat at the Battle of Homs, the Ottomans were wounded, and what awaited them was the disintegration of an empire!
