The central army of Kansu II's army, following the commander's order, 30,000 new troops were like a giant cube, marching neatly towards the Ottoman Empire's army.
"Tap tap~ tap tap~"
The sound of neat steps was like the loudest war drum. Teams of soldiers lined up neatly, carrying muskets on their backs, and their bright bayonets flashed dazzlingly in the sunlight.
Thirty thousand musketeers formed the center, protected by 100,000 new troops on each flank.
Kansu II also knew clearly that these new troops had just been recruited and were not yet ready for full use. Therefore, the new troops also arranged strict queues and formations, using a large number of defensive weapons such as shields and spears to maximize their strength.
The defensive power ensures the safety of the two wings of the Chinese musketeers, allowing the musketeers to fully exert their power.
"Stand at attention~"
"Take a break~"
"First team, prepare, fire~"
Soon, the musketeers met the Ottoman army that came to block them. They saw the light cavalry rushing towards them in excitement. The 30,000 new troops were arranged in six columns, with 5,000 people in each column.
Following the commander's order, five thousand muskets opened fire in an instant, with dense gunfire sounding like fried beans, and billowing smoke filled the air.
The Ottoman light cavalry that rushed towards the musketeers almost fell down as if they had hit an invisible wall.
"Second column, ready, fire~"
After the first row of volleys, the second row of musketeers once again aimed at the newly charged cavalry. With the sound of intensive frying beans, the newly charged light cavalry all fell down.
"Stand at attention and start walking~"
Just two rounds of volleys, like an extremely sharp sickle, harvested the Ottoman Empire light cavalry on the outermost edge in the blink of an eye, causing those Ottoman Empire cavalry who were about to rush over to stop in a hurry.
However, Kansu II has no intention of stopping his progress. If you don't come over, I will.
The 30,000 new troops and the 200,000 troops on both wings, accompanied by the commands, were like a huge torrent crushing towards everyone in the Ottoman Empire.
"Stop them, we must stop them, we must not let them rescue those infantry!"
Seeing this scene on the battlefield through the telescope, Selim and Ali Pasha became anxious.
"As expected of the musketeers modeled after the Ming Empire's army, they are indeed terrifyingly strong~"
"These muskets are all made by the Ming Dynasty and are of the highest quality. They have a long range, high accuracy, and fast firing rate~"
"If we let them crush us like this, our army will be crushed by then."
"The only ones who can deal with musketeers are musketeers~"
"Send out the musketeers, Your Highness~"
Ali Pasha suggested anxiously.
"No~wait a little longer~"
"Use the cavalry to attack the two wings of the opponent's musketeers, and use the heavy cavalry in the middle to charge and tear their musketeers into pieces. I don't believe it. Their muskets can even break the armor."
Selim thought carefully and shook his head slightly.
The musketeers are the trump card in the hands of the Ottoman Empire. In the future, they will still rely on these musketeers to defeat the European barbarians. If they have lost all their power with the Egyptians, how will they fight the Europeans when they go back?
What's more, he actually has his own plan.
Selim has always been ambitious, and his father Bayezid II is already old, but he still refuses to pass the throne to him. This time he has finally mastered the army, and he will not let go of such a good opportunity.
On the battlefield, the Ottoman Empire's army wanted to continue to eat away at the divided Egyptian infantry, while at the same time resisting the rushing musketeers, which suddenly became full of loopholes.
Coupled with the cannibalization of the infantry, many soldiers came to rob the prisoners and simply tied each other very perfunctorily, and even continued to fight for them. This gave the Egyptian infantry some breathing space.
The 30,000 musketeers led by Kansu II were like a torrent, rolling towards the Ottoman Empire army. Along with billowing white smoke and gunfire, no one could resist the musketeers. ’s military front.
When they saw the musketeers marching up in neat steps, the Ottoman army became frightened and did not dare to confront them head-on.

These musketeers are really terrifying.
They are like demons from hell, without any expression, wearing uniform clothes, and the muskets in their hands are like death scythes, constantly harvesting humble lives.
In the process of advancing, if they encounter Ottoman soldiers or military horses who are not dead yet, they will not hesitate to use bayonets to complete the last hit.
"Boom~Boom~"
At this time, the ground shook slightly, and the heavy cavalry regiments from Europe began to charge against the musketeers.
European heavy cavalry can be regarded as the pinnacle of the cold weapon era.
This kind of cavalry, whose whole body is surrounded by steel armor, is tall and powerful, and their whole body is covered with armor weighing dozens or even hundreds of kilograms.
Even the war horses they ride on are the best war horses, and they are tightly protected by armor. The combined weight of man and horse is extremely shocking, so heavy cavalry has always been very slow, and their endurance is also very poor, and they cannot do it at all. lasting.
But it is very effective when used to attack the infantry camp, and it can often smash the infantry camp to pieces extremely easily.
"First team, prepare, fire~"
"Second team, prepare, fire~"
However, the musketeers on the Egyptian side did not have the slightest fear. For the musketeers, the only thing they could do was to keep firing. Fear was of no use. Turning around and running away would only lead to a worse death.
The only thing they need is to believe in the muskets in their hands, believe in their teammates, and have firm faith. Even if they face heavy cavalry, they have nothing to fear.
The heavy cavalry are like moving steel fortresses. When they impact, they are like a torrent of steel. The ground is shaking. Everyone is watching, watching the charge of the heavy cavalry.
Compared with the majestic momentum of the heavy cavalry and the countless recovery records and undefeated myths set in the past, look at the Egyptian musketeers on the opposite side. Each of them is just wearing simple clothes, without any armor protection, and only has a weapon in his hand. There was a musket, and there was not even any defense such as horses or shields directly in front.
Anyone would think that the heavy cavalry would definitely win. Under its powerful impact, these musketeers would soon fall apart.
However, soon, a scene appeared that shocked everyone.
"Bang~bang~"
With the volleys fired one after another, all the heavy cavalry that rushed over fell one after another at the fifty-meter line, as if an invisible wall of air blocked them and they could not rush through anyway.
The incomparable plate armor of later generations could not stop musket bullets at all. Coupled with the tight formation of the musketeers and the volleys fired round after round, the abundant vitality continued to be output.
Once again, this is a profound lesson for everyone: the era of cold weapons is about to withdraw from the stage of history, and the future world will be the era of hot weapons.
It looked like a very thin line of musketeers, but it was as strong as a copper wall. The bayonets in their hands were not even used.
Miyun Type 16 is a powerful flintlock musket. It is well-made, extremely reliable, has a fast rate of fire, and its accuracy is much higher than that of previous winning guns. Its armor-piercing ability is far beyond that of bows and arrows.
Armor that can resist assassination and slashing with bows, spears, swords, etc., under this kind of musket, is almost no different from not wearing armor.
Round after round of volleys continued to harvest the Ottoman Empire's heavy cavalry. The phalanx composed of 30,000 musketeers was like a steel castle that could never be approached. No matter how powerful the enemy was, it was blocked to death.
Fifty meters away, there is no way to move forward.
"It's better to send out the musketeers. The only ones who can fight the opponent's musketeers are the musketeers."
Watching this scene, Ali Pasha reminded him of the Ming army he had seen back then. The Ottoman Empire's army did not believe in evil and insisted on using cavalry to attack the Ming army's musketeers, but was beaten to a pulp.
The same is true now. Even the powerful heavy cavalry is still like waves of wheat blown by the wind when facing the musketeers, being harvested one after another.
"Times have changed, and from now on it will be the age of muskets!"
Ali Pasha closed his eyes. The scene performed today once again verified a truth to the world. The era of cold weapons is coming to an end, and from now on it will be an era of hot weapons.
