Chapter 1584, robbers who take advantage of the fire
"First team, prepare, fire~"
"Bang~bang~"
Accompanied by intensive gunfire, the people at the front between the Ottoman Empire's musketeers and the Egyptian musketeers fell like dumplings, but soon, someone from the back row would step forward to fill the gap. Restore the complete queue.
At this moment, almost everyone in the entire Dabiq grassland is watching the musketeers lining up to kill each other. They are like European knights. They have no protection and will never take a step back. , but keep moving forward, moving forward, getting closer and closer to each other.

Kansu II could even clearly see the beads of sweat on the foreheads of the soldiers at the forefront. This tactic of lining up to kill undoubtedly required fearless courage for the soldiers on both sides of the war.
It is human nature to be greedy for life and afraid of death. Only fearless courage and supreme honor can make people overcome the fear of death and line up to fight with each other.
Such courage, such courage, 30,000 versus 30,000, musketeers versus musketeers, lining up to shoot each other, it all depends on who has better luck and who can't hold on first.
However, huge differences soon emerged between the two sides.
The Egyptian musketeers have been trained for a long time, and all use Miyun Type 16 flintlock muskets imported from the Ming Dynasty. They have a long range, relatively better accuracy, and faster speed.
Although the Ottoman Empire's musketeers have been trained for a long time, only 10,000 of them use Miyun Type 16 flintlock muskets, while 20,000 use flintlock muskets made by the Ottoman Empire themselves.
There is a huge difference in quality between the flintlock muskets made by the Ottoman Empire and those made by the Ming Dynasty.
Not only is the range shorter, the rate of fire is slower, and the accuracy is much lower. The most important thing is that the reliability is very poor. Problems occur every time you fire, and you can't continue to fire.
When the distance between the two sides was relatively far, the hit rate of both sides was very low, and the gap in casualties was not large. However, when the two sides walked into the distance of fifty meters, the Ottoman Empire's musketeer casualties began to be urgently needed. of sudden increase.
As soon as the Egyptian musketeers opened fire, the Ottoman Empire's most advanced musketeers fell almost at once. However, as soon as the Ottoman musketeers opened fire, only 23 out of 10 Egyptian musketeers fell. .
With such a huge difference, and accompanied by rounds of volleys, the musketeers on the Ottoman side finally couldn't hold on any longer.
The death was too tragic. A large number of soldiers fell on the grassland, corpses were scattered everywhere, and blood flowed into rivers. In the end, there were only less than 10,000 Ottoman musketeers left, while the Egyptian musketeers were only There were less than 3,000 casualties, and the huge difference between them made it impossible for the remaining musketeers to hold on any longer.
"Your Highness, we must replace the musketeers, they can't be defeated~"
"We can't bury all these musketeers here. This was built at a huge cost."
Ali Pasha was also anxious. These 30,000 musketeers were built by Bayezid II at a huge cost.
Just the muskets in their hands were made of real money.
Needless to say, the Miyun Type 16 muskets imported from the Ming Dynasty cost more than two hundred taels of silver each, which was a sky-high price. The Ottoman Empire captured a large number of craftsmen from Europe and used these craftsmen to imitate the muskets of the Ming Dynasty.
flintlock musket, although the price is much, much cheaper.
However, because the Ottoman Empire did not have mature technology, the cost was still high. To build these muskets, the yield rate was extremely low. Ten muskets only had a yield rate of 10 to 20%. A large number of muskets were prone to malfunctions and damage.
Although there were only 30,000 musketeers, the Ottoman Empire invested millions of taels of silver and spent a lot of manpower and material resources.
This musketry unit was used by the Ottoman Empire to deal with the Europeans. They expected to rely on it to conquer cities and territories in Europe in the future, so they couldn't leave it all here.
"Withdraw~"
Selim thought for a while and then issued the order to withdraw the musketeers.
A large number of cavalry began to attack the Egyptian musketeers to cover the retreat of the musketeers. However, these cavalry who attacked the Egyptian musketeers undoubtedly suffered a devastating blow.
Under the powerful and dense array, the power of the muskets was fully exerted, billowing smoke filled the air, and countless cavalry fell from their horses.
The Egyptian musketeers were like a rolling torrent, constantly advancing along with the smoke of gunpowder. Wherever they passed, the Ottoman Empire's army was unable to resist it, and it was like a sharp knife stabbing into the Ottoman Empire's army camp.
"Retreat~"
Ali Pasha put down the telescope in his hand. If we could successfully withdraw from today's battle, it would be a no-win situation.
"But, I really can't reconcile it~"
Selim looked at the Egyptian army, led by the musketeers, with such momentum that even the newly armed peasant troops howled like hungry wolves.
Looking at our own side, many legions are still busy capturing prisoners, and their troops are not as strong as the other side. Although they are all well-trained troops, it is obviously impossible to defeat the Egyptians in this battle.
"Report~"
At this moment, someone on horseback came hurriedly from behind.
"Persian army sneak attack on Baghdad, the two river basins are in danger, please support~"
"Retreat~"
No matter how unwilling Selim was, he had to order a retreat at this time.
Once the Persians occupy the Mesopotamia and cut off their retreat, they may be doomed. Moreover, if Egypt does not conquer the Mesopotamia and lose the Mesopotamia, even if he descends to Damascus in one day this time, he may not be able to survive.
There is no shame in returning to Istanbul.
"Haha~"
"The other side has retreated~"
Seeing the signs of the retreat of the Ottoman Empire through the telescope, Kansu II immediately shouted excitedly.
Facing the powerful military front of the Ottoman Empire and the betrayal of Karawen and Durr, he withstood tremendous pressure, and the musketeers in his hands lived up to his expectations and turned the tide of the war at the critical moment.
Otherwise, not only will he die without a burial place in this battle, but Egypt will also fall into the hands of the Ottoman Empire in the future.
"Thankfully, I spent a lot of money to build these 30,000 musketeers. The Ming Dynasty's products are really expensive, but the quality is really hard to say."
"No wonder the Ming Dynasty's 200,000-strong army could overwhelm the Ottoman Empire's 600,000-strong army, and it was a one-sided massacre. The era of cold weapons was coming to an end."
Kansu II was really glad that he spent a huge amount of money to create this ace musketeer, otherwise today would really be doomed.
"Your Majesty, shall we pursue them?"
Some ministers were overjoyed. They had originally planned to surrender. Who knew that the musketeers in the hands of Kansu II were so sharp? They not only destroyed the opponent's cavalry, but also crushed the Ottoman Empire's cavalry with fearless courage.
The Musketeers turned the tide of the battle.
"Report~"
When Kansu II was hesitating whether to pursue or not, someone from behind also hurriedly came to report the news.
"The Spanish fleet attacked our Alexandria and after occupying it, they announced the establishment of colonial rule in Alexandria!"
"What?"
When Kansu II heard this, he was shocked.
He mobilized all the domestic troops to the east to fight a bloody battle with the Ottoman Empire. Who knew that at this critical moment, the Spaniards would actually capture Alexandria.
What makes people even more angry is that Spain does not regard Egypt as a powerful country at all, but as a place like those on the coast of West Africa that can be plundered and colonized by barbarians.
"It's too much to bully others~ It's too much to bully others~"
Kansu II immediately became extremely angry.
The Ming Empire was even more courteous to Egypt and had a good relationship with Egypt. Even though it was interested in the value of the Egyptian canal, it did not send troops to invade Egypt, but worked together with Egypt to jointly develop it.
Who is this Spain? It completely ignored ancient Egypt and regarded Egypt as a barbarian with no power. It captured Alexandria and then announced colonial rule. This was a complete failure to take Egypt into account.
"Withdraw troops~"
Kansu II thought for a while and decisively issued the order to withdraw his troops.
He was very ambitious and wanted to expand everywhere, but even if the Ottoman Empire came to invade him, Spain actually came to stab him in the back, not paying attention to Egypt at all.
Such humiliation was unacceptable and intolerable to Kansu II.
He knew that he had to use a big victory to establish Egypt's international status, otherwise the wolves from all over the world would want to take a piece of Egypt's body in the future.
Today is Alexandria, tomorrow it may be Port Said, and the day after tomorrow it may be Cairo.
"Spaniards, you have chosen the wrong target to bully. I will let you know how powerful we Egyptians are!"
