【Chapter 803】A sneak attack right in the middle of the box

However, why does Gao Jie seem to be living a very nourishing life? It's like a tail cocking, it's weird! At the beginning, everyone thought that Gao Tonghui would bargain with the chairman and shirk the task of defending the city? Everyone knows that the high commander is only interested in attacking, and he is not interested in garrison at all!

As a result, he didn't react at all, just like he was nothing, and he really made the people around him incomprehensible. This doesn't look like the surname of a high commander! He is the Lord who refuses to suffer at all! Could it be that the chief committee member has taught the senior commander any secrets? Or is it that the high commander has been criticized?

"What do you know?"

"Look a little longer!"

"It's yours or yours, even if you want to run, you can't run away!

Whenever the officers asked, Gao Jie responded lukewarmly.

The officers looked at each other, and they didn't quite understand what this vision had to do with the garrison of Dry City. However, it doesn't matter if you don't understand, as long as you strictly follow the orders of the high commander. Since the chairman's order is to defend the city, then defend the city in a proper manner. The Mastiff Cavalry has always been the first-class main force of the white-clothed army, and even if it is temporarily assigned to defend the city, it has to make an appearance. Even if you defend the city, it is the best one.

Not only that, Gao Jie also ordered the troops to do a good job in defense work seriously and in a down-to-earth manner, and not allow the slightest discount. The Mastiff Cavalry was stationed outside the city of Yaergan, and there were makeshift military camps. Gao Jie is very attentive to the vigilance of the barracks, and he has to inspect it five or six times a day. The sentinels on duty don't dare to touch the moldy head of the high commander.

Some officers wanted to be lazy, but they were arrested by Gao Jie, and they were criticized at the beginning, and they almost didn't get rid of their posts. After being approved, three days of confinement, that's for sure. If the circumstances are serious, fifteen days of confinement are possible. Moreover, this confinement does not look at the level at all. Accidentally, there was a captain who was punished.

This captain was originally Gao Jie's henchman, and his usual combat performance was also very good, and Xu Xingxia usually valued him a lot. However, this time, because of the lack of vigilance, he was committed in the hands of Gao Jie, and he did not receive preferential treatment at all. As a captain, you have to increase the punishment. As a result, he spent fifteen days in his cell.

Only then did everyone realize that the Commander was really mad. Military law is definitely no joke. Once strictly enforced, you have to shed your skin if you don't die. Judging from the current situation, if he commits a crime at the hands of his old man, it will definitely be the end. Moreover, judging from Gao Jie's disposal methods, most of them were tacitly approved by Xu Xingxia.

Since then, all the officers have never dared to be lazy anymore, and have obediently done the defense work in a down-to-earth manner. The sentries on duty opened their eyes wide, staring at the surroundings deadly, and any disturbance could lead to their repeated inspections. For a while, everyone's hearts were raised to their throats.

A high degree of vigilance is definitely not useless. Soon, the Mastiff warriors realized that they might be drawn into a big battle. The scouts on patrol, for several days, collided with the scouts of the Ottoman cavalry. Although it is said that the other party quickly dispersed. However, it is certain that the other party is definitely not a good comer.

"My lord, we have found that there is enemy cavalry activity in the west!"

Suddenly, the Scout Captain arrived in a hurry and reported a startling news.

Gao Jie quickly informed the whole army of the news. Judging by the reconnaissance of the scouts, it is highly likely that the Ottoman cavalry units appeared. Xu Xingxia was most worried about the Ottoman cavalry troops, and he never knew their exact location. Now, they're finally willing to show up.

"Coming at us?"

"It must have been for us!"

"Nonsense! There's only one army nearby! ”

The officers in the hall, who were not stupid, reacted at once.

Idiots can think of what the Ottoman cavalry wanted to do when they appeared at this time, and they appeared near the city of Yaergan. Their aim was either to capture the city of Yaergan or to eliminate the mastiff cavalry. Or maybe it's both.

Dare to be affectionate, Gao Jie asked them to do a good job of preparedness in a down-to-earth manner, and they came prepared. Perhaps, at the top of the White Army, they had long expected that the cavalry of the Ottoman Emperor [***] would come to such a hand. The mastiff cavalry waited in the city of Yaergan in order to give the enemy a blow to the head. At this moment, the fighting spirit of the officers was immediately raised.

Paralyzed, Lao Tzu was already aggrieved and uncomfortable, since you sent it to the door, don't blame Lao Tzu for being unkind. With Gao Jie's order, the 8,000 soldiers of the Mastiff Cavalry immediately acted in an orderly manner. The entire city of Yaergan was suddenly filled with a tense battle atmosphere. There was a constant stream of people carrying ammunition back and forth.

…… The white-clothed army was unkind, and the Ottoman cavalry was even more unceremonious.

Biden almost made a military order in front of Mahmud, so he acted quickly. In just three days, he gathered all the Ottoman cavalry forces near the battlefield and launched a surprise attack on the city of Yaergan. In this battle, he can only win, not lose, so acting quickly is the key.

Of course, it is also unrealistic to want to hide all the details of the operation. Before the large force acts, it is inevitable to conduct a certain degree of reconnaissance, and it is inevitable to send a considerable number of scouts, and these scouts are likely to encounter the scouts of the white-clothed army, thus exposing their own actions. There is no way to completely avoid this, and Biden does not take it to heart.

He and Mahmud had their eyes on the white-clad troops stationed in the city of Yaergan, and the barracks were outside the city walls. Without the cover of the city wall, the defensive power of the defenders will inevitably be greatly reduced. Biden's battle plan is to conquer Yaergan within three days. According to his estimates, in three days' time, it was impossible for the White Army to have reinforcements arrive. He has to be fast.

"Da Da Da!"

"Da Da Da!"

The silent field suddenly shook.

The thunderous sound of horses' hooves rolled towards the city of Yaergan.

With tens of thousands of cavalry dispatched, it is impossible to keep secrets, and Biden has no order to keep secrets. As long as the troops can appear in the attack position at the specified time, and can attack the white-clothed army within the specified time, the balance of victory will be seriously tilted in favor of the Ottoman Empire. The final victory is what is within reach.

The Mamluk cavalry, as the vanguard, was the fastest. They seemed to be silver lightning bolts, appearing in the sight of the white-clothed army. Born as slaves, they can only get out of the status of slaves if they fight to the death. Therefore, they are eager to make meritorious contributions, but they completely put life and death out of the way. They were hell-bent on killing the whites.

In the past, there were many powerful ministers in the high-ranking of the Arab Empire, all of whom came from the Mamluk cavalry. After the rise of the Ottoman Empire, the Arab Empire gradually weakened, and finally retreated to the south of Egypt. However, the Mamluk cavalry, which submitted to the Ottoman Empire, was still very beautiful. As long as they have military exploits, they can get ahead.

"Your Excellency, the enemy has struck! The total strength is about 10,000! ”

As soon as the Mamluk cavalry was dispatched, the Mastiff cavalry got the news. The scouts of the mastiff cavalry are all experienced in battle, and they have been staring at the enemy's movements. The cavalry under Biden's command made a slight big move, and they immediately realized it.

In an instant, the entire vicinity of Yaergan City was boiling.

Looking through the binoculars, the swarming Mamluk cavalry was like a scorpion in the desert, appearing silently, very insidious, very ferocious. If someone ignores their existence because of this, the end will be tragic. At the beginning, the invincible Mongol iron cavalry was defeated by the Mamluk cavalry because of the carelessness of the enemy.

For the convenience of battle, the Mamluk cavalry was not armed with muskets. In their hands, there is only a special scimitar. This almost semicircular scimitar is about fifty miles long. It is made of Uzi steel and has a beautiful pattern on the surface, which is very sharp. The swing on horseback is so powerful that you can easily cut off a horse's head. If it is cut on a person's body, it is definitely cut in two.

"Units are free to fire!"

Gao Jie put down the binoculars with a comfortable demeanor and gave a decisive order.

The Mamluk cavalry, which had no muskets, was the best target for Han-style rifles. For the sniper of the Mastiff Cavalry, it is not difficult to shoot a target at a distance of three hundred meters. The sharpness of the Mamluk cavalry was very high, and it was necessary to strike as hard as possible with their sharpness. The white-clothed army has always been unaccustomed to the high morale of the Ottoman [***] team. As long as there is an opportunity to hit the morale of the enemy, they will not let it go.

"Bang bang bang!"

"Bang bang bang!"

The fierce gunfire suddenly rang out.

The mortar brigade of the Mastiff Cavalry has been transferred to the Lion Cavalry to help. Therefore, the mastiff cavalry could not use the power of artillery for the time being, and they had to use Han-style rifles to return fire. To be honest, the Han-style rifle is, after all, a manual rifle, and in terms of rate of fire, it is still not very satisfactory. It was not possible to form an airtight wall of fire against the Mamluk cavalry.

Fortunately, in front of the positions of the Mastiff cavalry, there was also a new, inexpensive weapon, that is, barbed wire. This kind of barbed wire, which was pulled up casually, was exactly the same as that of later generations, all rolled together, and fixed to the ground with an iron rod the size of half an arm's length in the middle. Even many mastiff warriors don't understand the role of barbed wire.
