The cavalry, on which Ihasan Pasha had high hopes, except for a few frontal battles, were mostly engaged in the rear of the southeastern army, trying to flank the front and rear and strive for victory.

As the elite of the Ottoman army, they are well-equipped, a water of leather armor, many war horses are covered with vests, on which are painted some hideous beasts--- mostly wolves, the Ottomans consider themselves to be the descendants of the Turks, and the Turks are the descendants of wolves, so they worship wolves, which is a lineage.

As their horizons broadened, they were no longer limited to worshipping wolves, but worshipping lions, tigers, leopards, etc., and the beasts on their vests made them look majestic.

The so-called cavalry is as full as the sea, with a total of 30,000 cavalry, and the momentum is extremely huge.

And behind them, there were 20,000 infantry, forming a heavy group!

These sturdy and well-trained horses, in a dense formation that "almost made the knees of the horses touch their knees," rode slowly to the starting position to the sound of war drums and trumpets, and they were convinced that under God's guidance they would be victorious, just as they galloped across three continents and cowered in castles, and they would be able to drive the yellow-skinned heretics out to sea.

That self-confidence, serene demeanor, and past brilliant achievements were enough to terrify the opponents, and they were led by three Pashas: Feda Pasha, Fawaz Pasha, and Jihad Pasha, all veterans of a hundred battles in the Empire, who had made a lot of contributions in the European battlefield, in the steppes of the Black Sea, and at home.

At this time, their military appearance is magnificent, and they are all full of confidence!

Just after three o'clock in the afternoon, they had already moved to the rear of the Southeast Army, the chief general of the Chinese army, Feida Pasha, drew his saber and issued a military order, so that the troops were divided into three directions: left, center, and right to prepare for a surprise attack, the dense cavalry formation began to move slowly, and the cavalry carefully drove their horses through the large wheat fields outside the city, and gradually turned into a trot in the march, widening the distance between the front and rear rows, and the troops unfolded!

The smoke was filled, and the momentum was even more formidable, and it pounced on the rear of the Southeast Army like a giant beast with teeth and claws.

Approaching the enemy's line, the officers gave the order, the trumpeters blew the horns of the charge, the knights loosened their reins, the horses strode forward, and the earth trembled under their iron hooves.

Half of the men and horses were invested at one time, and 15,000 cavalry participated in the battle at the same time, forming a magnificent charge!

The cavalry of the Southeastern Army was seriously insufficient, only 9,000 men, and a small part of the other part was thrown into the frontal battlefield--- Zu Dale died in this way.

Nine thousand cavalry is a baby bump, but no matter how precious it is, it has to be sent to the battlefield, but they are conservative, under the command of the deputy general Chen Qiao, dismount and fight, discharge a thick musket formation, and block the rear of the Chinese army.

Shame on you!

The cavalry should get on their horses and deal with the enemy cavalry on their horses, and in doing so, even if they are victorious, what will they have to do in the future to advertise themselves as cavalrymen?

For example, the 1st Cavalry Division should be the 1st Infantry Division to defeat the enemy!

The cavalry has its own pride, but military orders are like a mountain and can only be carried out according to orders.

Of course, 9,000 "infantry" could not block such a large front, and there were two other divisions guarding the rear, and the key was that they still had hundreds of 6-pounder guns.

Mr. Davy, the commander of the Southeastern Army, arranged these cannons at the outermost part of the rear position, and when the Ottoman cavalry entered the firing range, the cannons sprayed solid bullets and shotguns at those Baotou guys, using solid bullets for long-range shooting, and shotballs for close combat, each shot was like a swing of the big scythe of death, and the dense projectiles fell into the men and horses like rain hitting plantains, splashing countless bright red blood spots, rotten flesh and broken armor, and the road was soon covered with the broken torsos, internal organs and stumps of the Ottoman knights and war horses. The streams formed by the blood of the roads formed pools of blood.

And those Ottoman cavalrymen no longer have the reserve just now, they shrank their heads, clamped their horses, desperately urged their horses with spurs, rushed forward desperately around the corpses everywhere, and finally rushed to the artillery position of the Southeast Army, smiling, ready to cut down those yellow-skinned monkeys wearing only pants and armor vests, and turning the tragic situation of their shelling just now into cutting off the heads of yellow-skinned monkeys and cutting off their arms!

The artillerymen of the Southeastern Army held out as much as they could, firing the last shell, and then, in accordance with the military orders given in advance, abandoned the artillery and hid in their own infantry defense line with flying steps.

The tradition of the Chinese army in the East: "people are in the position" and "they cannot abandon their weapons", which is often not forgiven.

And the artillerymen lost all their artillery, on the orders of Mr. David, who, in his opinion, used their infantry against the enemy's cavalry, and was sure to win!

Previously, the cannon was abandoned, and as long as the enemy couldn't beat it, then it was not a problem to recover the cannon.

Compared with other generals, Mr. David, who was born in a red-haired fan and is a close friend of the leader, has fewer scruples.

He taught the infantry to line up in more than 10 staggered phalanxes, the outermost three rows of soldiers in the outermost circle of the phalanx held bayonets, squatting, semi-standing, and upright, and the soldiers in the back took turns to shoot with their guns, and once the soldiers in the front row fell, the soldiers in the back row immediately automatically stepped forward to fill in the gaps, and filled in as many people as there were!

So in front of the Ottoman cavalry there was always a treacherous jungle of shining spears, and the forest constantly spewed out deadly lead bullets, throwing all kinds of explosives, knocking down the cavalry like falling leaves, and the explosion frightened the horses.

No matter how stupid the cavalry was, they turned sharply and galloped along the battle line of the Southeastern Army, looking for an opportunity.

Running and archery, although it has gradually entered the era of hot weapons, but the bow and arrow have not yet withdrawn from the battlefield, on the war horse, the bow and arrow are more useful than the musket, and it has also killed and injured some Chinese.

The grumpy cavalrymen tried to lure the Chinese out of the battle line with sabers and stabbed all the way to the front, but no one was fooled.

They knew very well that as soon as they left the battle line, a lone infantry would be seconds by minute.

Some cavalry used bows and arrows to shoot at the southeastern army, but they were discouraged to find that no number of arrows were like mud oxen entering the sea.

In the battle, some brave Ottoman cavalry tried to leap into the phalanx, and the lucky few leaped over the spears, knocking the enemy down or under the iron hooves, and then slashing left and right with their swords.

cut the flesh and blood of the Chinese, and in less than ten seconds, he was beaten off the war horse under the random gun.

More unlucky cavalry, their horses jumped into the forest of spears, and fell in the middle of the crowd of enemies in a crowd of people and neighing, and some cavalry seeped into the rear of the line along the gap between the various formations, and hacked and killed some stragglers and baggage men, but without exception fell in front of the second-line troops of the Southeastern Army.

A good fight!

The Ottoman cavalry suffered heavy casualties, and in some places the corpses were piled up in several layers, some places were half a man high, and some places were too high!

The strong smell of blood and gunpowder was mixed together, and the Ottoman cavalry was never able to break through the Chinese battle line, and on the watchtower erected by the Chinese army's position, looking at the battle situation in the rear, and seeing the enemy's cavalry meeting in front of our strong formation, Mr. David said calmly: "They must not have read the history books!" ”
