Just at this time, Rosalind and Masatini had successfully escaped back to their respective kingdoms. Although they all strictly blocked the news and did not allow anyone to spread the war in the Yarkand Khanate, the Ottoman Imperial Army was obviously an exception. They all knew that Rosalind and Masatini had suffered a loss at the hands of the White Army.
Annaide immediately sent someone to ask Masatini about the situation of the White Army. As a result, Masatini's reply was unclear and very vague in many details. The description of the White Army is even more confusing. The battle in the Flame Mountain section was even skipped at all. Without this paragraph, I am afraid only the true God would know how Masatini failed.
"This bitch!"
Annaide cursed angrily.
Masatini¡¯s reaction made Arnaide feel very unhappy.
He is not an idiot, so he naturally understands that Masatini is perfunctory with him. It is estimated that her failure made her feel very humiliated, so she deliberately ignored the specific battle process. However, what the Ottoman Empire needed was a detailed battle history, not such a deceptive article. In Masatini's reply, she almost didn't even mention the word White Army. This is simply too bastard.
"It's better for me to ask!" Mahmoud said slowly.
He personally went out to find out the situation from Masatini. Facing this powerful veteran, Masatini no longer dared to hide anything, so she could only tell the story of the defeat in general. However, she was still vague on the details of the battle at the Flame Mountain. Women, unless the knife is put on the neck, they will definitely have to face the consequences.
? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? She provided almost all the information Mahmoud needed to know. As a veteran on the battlefield, Mahmoud was sensitively aware that the White Army was really not that easy to deal with. The weapons and equipment of the White Army are obviously very advanced, and they are definitely not as shabby as their appearance shows. These damn Han Chinese are all so cunning!
"However, Mahmud was not very afraid of the White Army. After all, the 30,000 Sudanese soldiers he brought were also very powerful. Even if all the White Army cannot be eliminated. At least it can be a tie. If the plan is good, it is not impossible for the White Army to suffer a hidden loss. On the battlefield, who is sure of victory?
"See you on the battlefield!" Mahmoud said in a low tone.
"These damn white-clothed troops!" Annaide wanted to say something angrily, but in the end he didn't. Everything, let¡¯s see the truth on the battlefield.
¡¡
The time for the decisive battle is coming soon.
That morning, the sky was gray and the sun never appeared.
It seems that he has already known that the upcoming fight will be very bloody and cruel, and the kind Father Sun does not want to see all this. Had to hide it. The clouds were thick and layered, as if it was going to rain. But, it¡¯s still October. There's no way it's going to snow that early. As for rain, that's pure nonsense. Tilik, this damn place, probably hasn't had a single drenching rain in decades.
In the open fields outside Tilik, the Ottoman Imperial Army and the White Army were both ready for battle. The preparations for the White Army were slightly simpler, just a circular defensive position. Outside the position, there are mainly trenches. In the middle of the position is the mortar position. The flag of the White Army. It was flying in the wind right in the center of the position.
If you look down from a high altitude, the defensive position of the White Army is actually relatively narrow. The bullets of the Han-style rifle can fly from here to there. No need to land. However, if you look carefully, you will find that there are actually as many as three defensive trenches for the White Army. This means that the White Army's deep defense line has been formed.
As for the Ottoman Empire's army, the momentum is even greater. It's indescribable to say how vast it is. Mahmoud obviously had no secrets and did not leave too many options behind. He laid out all his infantry. A large number of Sudanese soldiers pressed the front. A large number of fanatics were behind, as many as hundreds of thousands of people. Various flags intertwined into a colorful ocean. Among them, green flags have the largest number.
Xu Xingxia and others looked through the telescope and saw that the Ottoman Imperial Army was really a sea of ??people with no end in sight. In terms of pure numbers, the White Army was definitely outmatched. The Lion Cavalry troops dispatched by the White Army only numbered more than 8,000, which was estimated to be less than one-tenth of the opponent's number. Even if Xu Xingxia's hunting cavalry troops are added, they are at most one-tenth of the opponent's. This ratio is indeed a bit disparate.
We haven¡¯t seen any Ottoman Mamluk cavalry yet.? figure. However, no one dares to take it lightly as far as the White Army is concerned. The intelligence provided by Song Bingshu showed that the Ottoman Empire had cavalry to assist them. Moreover, the number of cavalry is quite large, at least 10,000. Even a considerable number of them were brave and capable Mamluk cavalry.
Xu Xingxia estimated that the Mamluk cavalry of the Ottoman Empire would definitely appear on the battlefield. In this flat and open wilderness, the cavalry is the real master. Even if the infantry battle is successful, if it encounters a cavalry surprise attack, it will be completely defeated. Since Mahmud is a veteran on the battlefield, he must be very skilled in the use of cavalry. He will definitely let the cavalry launch a surprise attack at the most appropriate time.
To be honest, Xu Xingxia¡¯s heart is full of fighting spirit. Because here, the White Army not only encountered the elite Sudanese soldiers, but also the famous Mamluk cavalry. The former is fine, but the latter is quite difficult to deal with. You know, the latter is the existence that can make the Mongolian cavalry in the past return home without success. In that area of ??Egypt, the combat effectiveness of the Mamluk cavalry is definitely no joke.
The earliest Mamluk cavalry was actually formed by the Arab Empire. The main area of ??activity was along the Nile River in Egypt. Later, the Ottoman Empire rose and gradually replaced the Arab Empire and penetrated Egypt. Some of the Mamluk cavalry surrendered to the Ottoman Empire and became part of the Ottoman cellar army.
Generally speaking, the Mamluk cavalry is also called the Arab slave cavalry. Like the Sudanese Janissaries, they were trained as slaves from a young age. their training. Even more ruthless and cruel than the Sudanese soldiers. Of the three young slaves who receive training, usually only one can become a real Mamluk cavalry. The Mamluk cavalry trained through this method are indeed very powerful and loyal.
For hundreds of years after their birth, the Mamluk cavalry remained one of the most powerful military forces around Egypt. No matter how the political situation changes, they always stand firm. They were still present until Napoleon attacked Egypt. Even after the defeat, there were still some Arab slave cavalry. He defected to Napoleon and became Napoleon's bodyguard. It was not until the twentieth century that they completely disappeared.
"Sir, the enemy has cannons!" Song Bingshu said in a low voice.
"Well, I noticed it, there are quite a few." Xu Xingxia said calmly.
The Ottoman Imperial Army was determined to go to war this time, and they even brought over heavy cannons. To give a rough estimate of the number, there may be about fifty doors. However, what they pulled over were all small and medium-caliber artillery pieces with a caliber of about 70 to 80 millimeters. The range of this artillery. Generally, it is only about five or six hundred meters, and it is out of reach any further. After all, a large-caliber artillery weighing several thousand kilograms is towed. After all, it is somewhat difficult.
Xu Xingxia looked through the telescope and carefully looked at the team of fanatics, slowly scanning the faces of the fanatics. He was a little worried whether the Sudanese janissaries would be mixed in with the fanatics and play the role of the backbone of the battle. After a careful search, it doesn't feel like it. He couldn't help but feel a little regretful. If Mahmoud mixed the Sudanese soldiers among the fanatics and acted as the backbone of the battle, this part of the Sudanese soldiers would definitely be dead.
It is different from the fanatics I encountered in the Turpan area before. The fanatics in front of me have all changed their clothes. In the hands of every fanatic. They are all equipped with the most advanced Lumi guns. Some of the fanatics were carrying machetes behind them. The team of fanatic musketeers is very tight. This is to take advantage of the shooting advantage of Lumi gun. but. For the mortars of the White Army, this is the most suitable target for shelling.
"The main target of your artillery attack is the enemy's Sudanese soldiers. Leave others alone. If the enemy's Sudanese soldiers do not appear, you cannot fire." Xu Xingxia put down the telescope and said seriously to Zhou Weihong.
Zhou Weihong was definitely prepared this time. The mortar brigades of the Leopard Cavalry and Mastiff Cavalry were temporarily transferred over. Let him take command together. Three mortar brigades, a total of 375 mortars. This is a destructive force. At the firing speed of a mortar, in one minute. There can be six or seven thousand rounds of artillery shells, raining down on the ranks of the Sudanese soldiers, enough for them to drink a pot.
According to Song Bingshu¡¯s analysis, Mahmud should have concentrated all the military forces of the Ottoman Empire in the three countries in the Western Region this time. After all, the Ottoman Empire is far away from the three Western Kingdoms, and it is impossible to dispatch troops quickly and agilely. It would take at least half a year for reinforcements from the Ottoman Empire to arrive from Baghdad and other places. Therefore, this battle will seriously affect the future of the three countries in the Western Region. Whoever wins will be the master of the Three Kingdoms in the Western Regions.
No matter how experienced and battle-hardened Mahmud is, without the 30,000 Sudanese soldiers as his base, he would not dare to continue fighting against the White Army no matter what. It¡¯s hard for a clever woman to make a meal without rice! In fact, once these 30,000 Sudanese soldiers were defeated, Mahmud could only temporarily retreat to the territory of the Safavid dynasty. This means that the three countries in the Western Region are completely under attack from the White Army. Masatini and others will no longer be able to receive direct assistance from the Ottoman Empire.
"Woohoo!"
The low bugle sounded slowly.
This is the time when the Ottoman Empire's army will take the lead in launching the main attack.
In other words, there are indeed many of them, so there is no problem at all in their main attack.
The person serving as the frontline commander is none other than the young and energetic Annaide. He didn't feel the slightest danger from the formation put up by the white-clothed army. On the contrary, he felt that this was a good opportunity. Perhaps, the White Army can be defeated in one fell swoop. He pointed the scimitar in his hand forward, and a large number of fanatics swarmed in like a tide.
¡°Obviously, Mahmoud wanted the fanatics to serve as cannon fodder. He needs to deduce the combat effectiveness of the White Army through the blows suffered by the fanatics. He would not take the fanatic's losses seriously. As long as his 30,000 Sudanese soldiers can achieve meritorious service, even if all the fanatics die, it will be completely worth it.
"Fire!"
Gao Yigong gave the order decisively.
The White Army is not afraid of exposing the secrets of the Han-style rifle.
As for the secret of the grenade, it depends on the situation.
¡°Bang bang bang!¡±
¡°Bang bang bang!¡±
Fierce gunshots kept ringing out.
The originally quiet suburb of Tilik suddenly became extremely noisy.
The fanatics who were advancing on foot were shot by Han-style rifles and fell in large numbers. The blood splashed into the dry sand and was quickly absorbed without leaving any trace. The gray robes on the fanatics were colorfully painted with blood. The air was gradually filled with the rich smell of blood, which was so strong that it was suffocating.
The soldiers of the White Army stood behind the trench and fired calmly. They skillfully pulled the bolt of the gun and fired bullets one by one. At this time, the Fanatics team had no chance to counterattack, and they were as relaxed as if they were on the training ground.
In the face of new muskets, the human body is undoubtedly the most vulnerable. The lethality of the rotating bullet is unquestionable. Even if you are three or four hundred meters away, you will only die if you are shot by a Han-style rifle.
"damn it!"
Mahmoud soon realized something was wrong.
"Fire!"
After pondering for a moment, Mahmud had no choice but to give the order in advance.
Originally, he planned to leave the artillery fire to the Sudanese soldiers. Only true warriors are worthy of attacking and advancing under the cover of artillery fire. However, the number of casualties among the fanatics was too many. Mahmoud estimated that without the support of artillery fire, they would have had no chance to get close to the White Army, and all of them would have been killed. This was not his original intention.
His original intention was for the fanatics to rush forward and fight with the white-coated army, first consuming part of the white-coated army¡¯s vitality. Even if ten fanatics are used to exchange one life of the White Army, so many fanatics can still cause the White Army to suffer heavy losses. When the time comes, the Sudanese soldiers will be dispatched to take advantage. However, judging from the current situation, it seems to be a bit biased. Many of the fanatics died, but the white army remained unscathed.
