Section 1147 The Ottoman cavalry is intimidated!

Yan Changwu next to him hurriedly asked, "How do you say this?" ”

"The Ottomans claim to be Turkic, the Turks and the Huns are almost the same, the Huns once had 80,000 cavalry to fight Li Guang's 5,000 infantry, but Da Dan Yu was beaten and fled!" He laughed and said, "The Ottomans must not have read the history books, otherwise they would not have been stupid enough to defend the infantry that I had prepared for with cavalry!" ”

There is indeed this history, Mr. David continued: "Feng Tang is easy to be old, Li Guang is difficult to seal, fortunately, my David is not Li Guang, let alone the marquis, it should be crowned a prince!" ”

Hearing this, Yan Changwu laughed, and the people next to him secretly scolded the red-haired fan in his heart for being a sycophant, which meant that the boss was smarter than Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.

At this time, the battlefield was a pot of porridge, and the Ottomans attacked in front and back, using all their might, and they also had firearms, plus bows and arrows, and cavalry!

Their cavalry frightened the Southeastern Army into mistaking its own cavalry for infantry, dismounted and fired instead of daring to engage in a passionate rendezvous with a saber with the Ottomans, which made the Ottomans laugh at them loudly

The cavalry marched everywhere, trying their best to find loopholes in the Southeastern Army, and they could not fail to work hard, even rushing straight into the spear stabbing array of the Southeastern Army!

However, the Pasha were deeply disappointed, the cavalry they had high hopes for and the famous cavalry was really ---, the Eastern Great was really inferior, and those Tatars and Mongols were actually very few in number, such as the Jurchens were invincible, and in fact it was difficult for them to dispatch 10,000 men!

The Ottoman cavalry failed to gnaw at the phalanx of the Southeast Army, because the Chinese gave full play to their strengths, and the concerted efforts of the Chinese were enough to overwhelm the mountains and seas, manifested as infrastructure madness, manifested as unprecedented combat effectiveness in the Great Battle, and the key point was that there must be a strong leader!

The Chinese are too smart, one Chinese is a dragon, two Chinese are worms, and three Chinese have no water to eat, but as long as there is a core leader, he can show the strength of the Chinese to the fullest.

Fortunately, there was a ruler in the southeast, and the tactics and morale of the two sides were not in favor of the Ottomans.

The more than 10 phalanxes of the Southeast Army are all well-trained Chinese, and they are indeed superior to any country in terms of technical training such as shooting, and it may not be easy for them to play mounted archery, but they can play with muskets like fish in water.

The leader is intimate, he said that you can't send bullets to the place where you can, you must open the way with bombs, shoot and smash bombs!

The shooting skills of the Chinese made them the only army in the world capable of inflicting half of the enemy's casualties with muskets, and with armor, the stable phalanx of the Southeastern Army became a nightmare for the enemy.

It can be seen that the phalanx is one of the most effective means of infantry against cavalry in field warfare, and if the onslaught of cavalry is compared to a raging wave, then a phalanx of strong-willed and well-trained soldiers is a calm reef.

However, the phalanx itself was not invulnerable.

First of all, if the soldiers in the phalanx are poorly trained and poorly organized and disciplined, the entire phalanx is likely to collapse as quickly as a sand bank.

The same are all from the Ming people, the Tatars and the Mongols also broke a large number of the Ming army's phalanx, and then the Ming army did not dare to fight the enemy in the field, and also defended the city as a shrinking turtle!

Moreover, the dense phalanx provided a good target for the artillerymen, and the phalanx scattered by the artillery fire would be a good target for the cavalry to attack.

Fortunately, the Ottoman artillery was lost due to the defeat on the Cairo front, and their production efficiency was too low to replenish, so that there were only a small number of artillery and insufficient ammunition to threaten the phalanx of the Southeastern Army.

Although the Ottoman has a god, but the Chinese have a leader, it is the Pasha to the king, the Osman became a warrior after his death, and the southeast army won the victory, the morale of the two sides is high, the comparison is clear!

The Chinese people are determined to "go back to see their families alive, and we must win!" ”

The benefits of muskets were fully apparent, and the Ottoman archers began to sore their arms when they fired twenty arrows, and after thirty arrows, they were already considered first-class marksmen, and they were unable to shoot any more arrows.

However, thirty muskets are the skill of the first-class marksmen in the Southeastern Army for six minutes, and they can shoot five bullets in one minute!

After six minutes, the rate of fire may slow down, but no matter how slow it is, it can also reach the rate of fire of three bullets a minute, in other words, the average rate of fire of three bullets in a minute in the Southeast Army is 180 bullets in an hour, as long as there is sufficient ammunition, the DPS output of the Southeast Army is always stable.

Feda Pasha, who was supervising the battle behind the cavalry, was shocked and angry, and he did everything he could, and it was the cavalry assault and the infantry to stabilize the position, but it did not work, but the number of dead and wounded increased, but the battle was fought to this extent, and he could not give up halfway, and he again threw in 5,000 cavalry.

In this way, the crazy death charge began, and the galloping war horses put a lot of pressure on the Chinese, after all, they were highly nervous mentally, and they were also a little numb, the movement deformation was normal, the rate of fire decreased, and the accuracy decreased, and the enemy threat increased.

At the critical moment, Mr. David personally led more than 1,000 people to come to the aid and immediately stabilized the position.

The truth is simple, manpower is useless, and the power of example is endless.

He was dressed in a glamorous army admiral's uniform--- he was originally an admiral, in order to facilitate the command of the war, the leader turned him into an army general, and he did not move when he stood on the position, who dared to move?

So the officers and soldiers have nothing to say, let it go, in order to relieve the fear in their hearts, in order to live, their anger turned into anger and let the bullets fly!

Rampage, Southeastern Army!

The rate of fire of the Southeastern Army miraculously increased again, and suddenly climbed back to the normal level, and the Ottomans turned on their backs, you have a god, I have a musket!

In Mr. David's memoirs, he wrote: "...... The scorching smell of smoke and gunpowder was almost suffocating, and with every step of the movement I had to step on wounded officers and men or corpses, and of course the enemy died even more, and so many Ottomans fell in front of our position, that their call had pale in my opinion, and my voice, though weak, had miraculously spread throughout the battlefield. ”

In order to win, the Ottomans rushed to kill in a storm, and the speed was so fast that some even stabbed the war horses, stimulating the war horses to attack!

Mr. David instructed dozens of big-voiced soldiers to run back and forth in the queue, shouting hoarsely, "The leader has an order...... Heavy reward for the killer...... Ten oceans per person, five acres of Xuntian, those who retreat confiscate the fields, and the whole family is executed ......! ”

The hearts of all the officers and men are in awe, it is really a double God.

One step forward is the difference between the flowers, and one step back is the abyss!

Ten pieces of the ocean is good, it is rare to have five acres of Xuntian, everyone in the bones of the Chinese loves the land, this is scratching everyone's itch, the leader speaks counts, the teeth are the golden envoys, the leader of the letter will be saved, fight.

Musket volleys were fired, and the positions of the Southeastern Army became a black hole that devoured the Ottomans, leaving them with no return.

The horn of retreat spread throughout the field, and the Ottoman cavalry broke away from the battle line and turned to the flank and rear!

Cheers were heard in the rear of the Southeastern Army: the Ottoman cavalry was cowardly!
