In the open wilderness, the battle has entered a fierce stage, and the heavy cavalry, light cavalry, and infantry between the two sides have all been involved in the battle.
They were stuck together, fighting fiercely, with human lives like grass and grass, blood pooling into rivers, and corpses strewn everywhere. But before they had time to restrain themselves, they were stepped on severely and continued to kill.
"Duke Colste, Duke Almeida, it's time to show everyone the sharpest sword in the hands of your Spanish matadors!"
Maximilian I was always paying attention to every move on the battlefield.
The situation is not very favorable for the European Allied Forces. Although they have the advantage in strength, judging from the fighting situation, the European Allied Forces have not gained any advantage. The fight between the two sides is very stalemate. The only thing to be thankful for is that they still have enough in their hands.
reserve force to deal with the Ottoman Empire's sneak attacks and outflanks.
But Maximilian did not want to wait blindly, but wanted to take the initiative himself. As long as a gap could be opened on the frontal battlefield, the prepared army could completely defeat the Ottoman Empire's army in one go.
Therefore, he decided to expel the king bomb in the hands of the European coalition forces. The ace army in the hands of the Spanish imitated the Spanish sword established by the Ming Empire.
"Yes, your great Majesty~"
When Duke Colster and Duke Almeida heard this, they immediately became energetic, saluted quickly, and then confidently mounted their horses to command this ace army.
Soon, behind the European coalition forces, accompanied by the sound of neat footsteps, a phalanx wearing uniforms and marching neatly walked towards the battlefield under the leadership of the commander.
This army did not ride horses, but was all infantry. They had no swords in their hands, but carried muskets on their shoulders. They did not even have leather armor, let alone iron armor.
"Haha~ This is the sharpest knight's sword in the hands of the King of Spain?"
Some people couldn't help but laugh and said: "Besides this neat and unified pace, I really don't know what else is eye-catching about it?"
"Could it be that they imitated the Ming Dynasty people and shaved their beards cleanly like women? Or did they keep their hair very short like the Ming Dynasty monks?"
"This is basically to deliver food to the Ottoman Empire."
"Haha, it's really ridiculous. Such an army is said to have cost the King of Spain tens of millions of taels of silver. Such a large amount of silver is enough for us to arm dozens or millions of cavalry."
"Perhaps the King of Spain was obsessed with the Ming Dynasty. The Ming Dynasty's artillery is indeed powerful, but this army seems to be exaggerated."
"Yes, as far as I know, the Ming Empire relied on cavalry and artillery to defeat the Ottoman Empire. Every time the Ming Dynasty attacked a city, they would first attack with fierce artillery fire, destroying the city walls, city gates, etc.
fall, and then attack with powerful cavalry."
“It’s not like everyone doesn’t know what’s going on with the King of Spain. In the eyes of Spaniards, this Ming Dynasty’s shit smells good?”
"It is said that their king also learned how to use chopsticks, follow the Ming Dynasty to maintain health, drink porridge and so on. Are these still us Europeans?"
"They are no longer Europeans. They are traitors to Europe. They betrayed Europe and took refuge with the Ming Dynasty."
Seeing the new Spanish musketeers marching in neat steps, many European nobles couldn't help laughing. Of course, most of these nobles came from Central and Eastern Europe.
They had relatively little contact with the Ming people, and had not personally witnessed the power of the Ming army. In their opinion, at this moment, the Spanish ace army rushing toward the Ottoman army with neat steps was simply seeking death.
But some people were sullen, especially the nobles from England and France. Duke Francois was sullen because he had seen the Ming army.
The Spanish army in front of me was formally modeled after the Ming army. The Ming army also marched in the same way, marching in uniform steps and wearing uniform uniforms.
It seemed that it was vulnerable to a single attack and only needed some cavalry to kill it cleanly. However, it was this kind of army that beat England and France to pieces.
"Start and walk~"
"121,121~"
Following the commander's instructions, 30,000 Spanish musketeers marched towards the tragic battlefield in neat steps. Each phalanx of 10,000 people was like three huge phalanxes walking on the earth, with expressionless faces.
He showed no emotion at all, didn't care about the corpse at his feet, and seemed not to be afraid of the tragic battle ahead.
"Stand at attention, take a rest, stand at attention~"
A few hundred meters away from the center of the war, the musketeer phalanx stopped. Then quickly under the command of the commander, the huge square formation turned into a three-stage shooting attack formation, like a stretched line.
, and it seemed like a red wave, slowly pressing towards the center of the battle.
"Start and walk~"
After changing to a three-stage shooting formation, under the command of the commander, the Spanish musketeers advanced again, stepping on the muddy ground soaked in blood and stepping on the corpses, as if they had no emotion at all.
"Stand at attention~"
"First row~get ready!"
"Fire!"
Soon, the Spanish musketeers entered their attack range. At present, only the muskets of the Ming Empire can achieve an attack distance of two hundred steps. The muskets made by the Europeans themselves have no impact at such a long distance.
Lethality.
Following an order, on a long front line, suddenly, dense gunshots like fried beans rang out, and then billowing white smoke enveloped the ground, filling the air with gunpowder smoke!
"Bang~"
Under the intensive gunfire, the two sides who were fighting fiercely in front suddenly looked like waves of wheat blown down by the wind. As soon as the smoke cleared, a large number of people fell down.
There are people from the Ottoman Empire here, but more of them are from the European Allied Forces.
There were heavy cavalry, light cavalry, and infantry here, but neither the armor of later generations of heavy cavalry nor the leather armor of light cavalry could withstand the lead pellets of the muskets. They were torn to pieces in an instant, and then it was like being beaten with a heavy hammer.
Generally, hit hard.
"Second row, ready~"
"Fire~"
Soon, the first platoon finished firing, and the second platoon took aim again. With an order, billowing smoke rose again, and countless lead pellets were fired straight ahead, as if the sickle of death was on the battlefield.
As he passed by, countless figures fell down wherever he went.
"Third row~Ready~"
"Fire~"
Like a machine, without the slightest emotion, one row of fire was immediately followed by another.
The billowing smoke of gunpowder continues to rise, and rows of bullets ruthlessly harvest humble lives.
After several rounds of volleys, everyone blocking them in front of them was completely wiped out. Whether they were from the European Allied Forces or the Ottoman Empire, they were all killed by their muskets.
"Stand at attention~"
"Start and walk~"
Soon, the Spanish musketeers lined up neatly again and continued to move forward at an orderly pace, advancing about a hundred steps.
The same scene happened again. They stood in three rows and fired one after another. After several rounds of volleys, the Ottoman army within the range of their musket attacks was easily wiped out.
All of a sudden, the Ottoman Empire's military formation, which had no gaps in it, was torn open by these musketeers. A large number of corpses fell in a pool of blood. The red Spanish flag was waving, still moving seemingly slowly, but inexorably.
The unstoppable trend struck hard at the heart of the Ottoman Empire's army.
"These damn Spanish bulls, haven't they noticed that there are friendly forces fighting?"
"Those brave knights did not die under the swords of the Ottoman Empire, but they died under the muskets of Spanish bulls."
Duke Francois complained angrily to Maximilian I that the Spaniards just didn't care at all, and shot and killed them without distinguishing between ourselves and the enemy, so that soldiers from other countries who were fighting at the forefront were killed by the Spaniards.
He was killed directly by a musket.
This made many people feel extremely angry.
However, they were angry, but at this moment, they saw how powerful and terrifying the musket was.
The phalanx composed of 30,000 Spanish musketeers was like a steel city wall. Every time they took a step forward, a large number of corpses fell.
The gap that was originally difficult to open with all the efforts of the Spanish musketeers, at this moment, a huge gap soon appeared under the attack of the Spanish musketeers.
At this moment, the Ottoman Empire army was desperately attacking these Spanish musketeers, trying to block this gap.
However, whether it was the powerful and fast cavalry, or the defensive infantry, the armored soldiers all fell to the guns of the Spanish musketeers under round after round of volleys. At a distance of fifty steps from the musketeers,
It was like a natural chasm, and the Ottoman Empire's army could not rush through it no matter what.
The corpses are constantly piling up, and after each wave of smoke, a large number of corpses will be added.
"Bang~"
Intensive gunshots continued to reverberate on the noisy battlefield. In the blink of an eye, it was as if a huge weight had hit the European Allied Forces, causing the originally stalemate situation to develop in the European Allied Forces' favour.
Encouraged by the impressive results achieved by the Spanish musketeers, the morale of the European coalition forces was greatly boosted, and their roars became even louder. On the other hand, the Ottoman Empire army was completely beaten by the Spanish musketeers, leaving a huge gap that had to be filled with human lives.
Can't even fill it in.
The morale of the entire Ottoman Empire army was greatly affected, and the originally strong front showed signs of collapse.
Fortunately, at this time, the Ottoman Empire's musketeers finally entered the battlefield. They also followed the example of the Ming Dynasty and built a pure musketry army of tens of thousands. At this moment, they also marched towards Spain in neat steps.
