Chapter 1583, the invincible musketeers
"Start, go~"
The central army of Kansu II's army, accompanied by the commander's order, 30,000 new troops were like a huge block, and they began to advance towards the Ottoman army with neat steps.
"Tread~Tread~"
The neat steps were like the loudest war drums. Teams of soldiers were arranged neatly, carrying muskets on their backs, and the bright bayonets flashed with dazzling light under the sunlight.
Thirty thousand musketeers were the central army, and one hundred thousand new troops were protected on both wings.
Kansu II also knew clearly that these new troops had just been recruited and were not worthy of great use. Therefore, the new troops were also arranged in tight queues and formations, and a large number of defensive weapons such as shields and spears could strengthen their defense to the greatest extent, ensure the safety of the two wings of the central army's musketeers, and allow the musketeers to fully exert their power.
"Standing attentive~"
"After a moment~"
"First team, prepare, open fire~"
Soon, the musketeers met the Ottoman army who came to stop them. Seeing the light cavalry rushed over excitedly, 30,000 new troops were lined up in six rows, each with five thousand people.
With the commander's order, five thousand muskets opened fire in an instant, and dense gunfire sounded like fried beans, and rolling smoke filled the air.
The Ottoman light cavalry rushing towards the musketeers almost fell down one after another as if they were hit by an invisible wall.
"The second column, prepare, fire~"
After the first row of volleys, the second row of musketeers aimed at the newly rushed cavalry again. With the sound of densely fried beans, all the newly rushed cavalrymen also fell down.
"Standing attentively, starting to go~"
Just two rounds of volleys were like an extremely sharp sickle. In the blink of an eye, the Ottoman cavalry was harvested on the outermost periphery, which made the Ottoman cavalry who were jealous and were about to rush over immediately stopped.
But Kansu II did not mean to stop moving forward. If you don’t come, I will go there.
Thirty thousand new troops and 200,000 troops on both wings, accompanied by commands, crushed the Ottoman Empire like a huge torrent.
"Stop them, you must block them, and you must never let them rescue the infantry!"
Through the telescope, this scene on the battlefield was seen in his eyes, and both Selim and Ali Pasha were anxious.
"It is worthy of being a musketeer built in imitation of the army of the Ming Empire. It's really terrible~"
"These muskets are also top-notch made by the Ming Dynasty. They have long range, high accuracy and fast firing speed~"
"If they were allowed to crush this way, our army would be crushed at that time."
"The only one who can deal with musketeers is the musketeers~"
"Send out musketeers, your highness~"
Ali Pasha suggested anxiously.
"No~ wait a little longer~"
"I don't believe that they can break even the armor of their musketeers."
Selim thought about it carefully and shook his head slightly.
Musketeers are the trump card in the hands of the Ottoman Empire. In the future, they will rely on these musketeers to fight European barbarians. If they fight all the Egyptians now, how can they fight with the Europeans when they go back?
What's more, he actually has his own plan.
Selim has always been ambitious, and his father, Bayesette II, is already old, but he has never been willing to pass the position to him. This time he finally managed to control the army, so he would not miss such a good opportunity.
On the battlefield, the Ottoman army wanted to continue to eat away from the divided Egyptian infantry while resisting the rushing musketeers, and there were all loopholes.
In addition, the erosion of the infantry here, many soldiers were very perfunctory to snatch the prisoners and even continued to compete for each other, which gave the Egyptian infantry some chance to breathe.
The 30,000 musketeers led by Kansu II were like a torrent, crushing towards the Ottoman army. Wherever they passed, accompanied by rolling white smoke and gunfire, no one could resist the musketeers' military attacks.
When he saw the musketeers crushing up in neat steps, the Ottoman army became scared and did not dare to confront them head-on.
生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生�
These musketeers are really terrible.
They were like demons from hell, without any expression, wearing uniform clothes, and the muskets in their hands were like death scythes, constantly reaping humble lives.
During the process of advancing, if they encounter Ottoman soldiers or military horses who have not died yet, they will use bayonets to complete the final attack without hesitation.
"Boom~Boom~"
At this time, the earth shook slightly, and the heavy cavalry legion from Europe began to charge against the musketeers.
European heavy cavalry can be regarded as the peak of the army in the era of cold weapons.
These cavalrymen, surrounded by steel armor, were tall and powerful, and were covered with armor that was dozens or even hundreds of kilograms in size.
Even the horses riding were the best war horses, and they were protected tightly by armor. The weight of people and horses combined was extremely amazing, so heavy cavalry always had very slow speeds and poor endurance, so they could not last long.
However, it is very useful to attack the infantry camp, and it can often easily crush the infantry camp.
"First team, prepare, open fire~"
"The second team, prepare, open fire~"
However, the musketeers on the Egyptian side were not afraid at all. For the musketeers, the only thing they could do was to keep firing. Fear was useless. If they turned around and ran away, they would die even worse.
The only thing they need is to believe in the muskets in their hands, believe in their teammates, and hold firm beliefs. Even when facing heavy cavalry, they need to be afraid of something.
The heavy cavalry were like moving steel fortresses. When they hit, they were like a torrent of steel. The earth was shaking, and everyone was watching the charge of the heavy cavalry.
Compared with the huge momentum of the crane cavalry and the recovery and undefeated myths that have been set countless times in the past, looking at the musketeers on the opposite side of Egypt, they were all wearing simple clothes, without any armor protection, and there was only one musket in their hands, and there was no defense in front of them, such as horses and shields.
Anyone would think that heavy cavalry will definitely win. Under its powerful impact, these musketeers will soon fall apart.
However, soon, a scene that shocked everyone to fall off their chins appeared.
"Bang~bang~"
Accompanied by rounds of volleys, all the heavy cavalry that rushed over fell down at the fifty-meter line, as if an invisible air wall blocked them tightly and could not rush over no matter what.
The extremely plate armor in later generations could not stop musket bullets at all. Coupled with the tight formation of musketeers and round of volleys, the abundant vitality continued to be output.
Once again, I will give everyone a profound lesson. The era of cold weapons is about to withdraw from the stage of history, and the future world is the era of heat weapons.
The musketeers' front that looked just a very thin one was as strong as a copper wall, and the bayonets in their hands were not even useful.
The powerful flintlock musket of Miyun Type Sixteen is well-made, extremely reliable, has a fast firing rate, and is much higher than the previous winning guns. Its armor-breaking ability is far beyond the comparison of bows and arrows.
Armor that can withstand the assassination and slashing of bows, arrows, spears, swords, etc. is almost no big difference under such muskets and without armor.
Round after round of volleys continued to harvest the heavy cavalry of the Ottoman Empire. The square formation composed of 30,000 musketeers seemed like an iron castle that would never be accessible. No matter how powerful the enemy was, they were blocked 50 meters away and could no longer move forward.
"It's better to dispatch musketeers. The only ones who can help the opposing musketeers are the musketeers."
Ali Pasha looked at this scene and reminded him of the Ming army he had seen back then. At that time, the Ottoman army did not believe in evil and insisted on using cavalry to attack the Ming army's musketeers, but was beaten to pieces.
The same is true now. Even the powerful heavy cavalry is still like the waves of wheat blown by the wind when facing musketeers, being harvested one after another.
"Times have changed, and it will be the era of muskets in the future!"
Ali Pasha closed her eyes and the scene that was staged today once again verified the world that the era of cold weapons is about to come to an end, and it will be the era of hot weapons in the future.
