But why does Commander Gao Jie seem to be living a happy life? It seems like the tail is raised up, how weird it is! At the beginning, everyone thought that Commander-in-Chief Gao would bargain with the Chairman and refuse the task of defending the city? Everyone knows that Commander Gao is only interested in offense and has no interest in defense at all!
As a result, he didn¡¯t react at all, as if nothing happened, which really made everyone around him confused. This doesn¡¯t seem like Commander Gao¡¯s character! He is not willing to suffer at all! Could it be said that the Chairman taught some secrets to Commander Gao? Or maybe Commander Gao was criticized?
"What do you know?"
"You should take a longer view!"
¡°It should be yours or yours, even if I want to run away, I can¡¯t run away!
Whenever the officers asked, Gao Jie gave such a lukewarm response.
The officers looked at each other in confusion, not quite understanding what this had to do with the defense of Ya'er Gancheng. However, it doesn't matter if you don't understand, as long as you strictly implement the orders of the high commander. Since the Chairman's order is to defend the city, then we should defend the city in a good manner. The Mastiff Cavalry has always been the first-class main force of the White Army. Even if they are temporarily assigned to defend the city, they still have to show their appearance. Even if they defend the city, they are the best at defending it.
Not only that, Gao Jie also ordered the troops to do their defense work conscientiously and down-to-earth, without allowing the slightest discount. The Mastiff Cavalry is stationed outside the city of Yalgan City, with a temporary military camp. Gao Jie was very attentive to the various security measures in the military camp and would inspect them almost five or six times a day. The sentries on duty did not dare to get into trouble with the commander-in-chief.
Some officers wanted to be lazy, but they were caught by Gao Jie. He criticized them so much that they almost lost their jobs. After being approved, he was sentenced to three days of confinement. I am very sure of that. If the circumstances are serious, fifteen days of confinement may be possible. Moreover, this confinement does not depend on the level at all. Accidentally, a captain was punished.
This captain was originally Gao Jie¡¯s confidant, and his usual combat performance was also very outstanding. Xu Xingxia also valued him quite a lot. However, this time because he was not vigilant enough, he fell into Gao Jie's hands and received no preferential treatment at all. As captain. The punishment must be increased. As a result, he stayed in the solitary room for fifteen days.
It was only then that everyone realized that the leader was really mad. Military law is definitely no joke. Once strictly enforced, the skin will have to be peeled off even if you don't die. Judging from the current situation, if he falls into the hands of his old man, he will definitely be doomed. Moreover, judging from Gao Jie's handling methods, it was probably with Xu Xingxia's tacit approval.
From then on, all officers no longer dared to be lazy. Obediently do the defense work in a down-to-earth manner, without leakage. The sentry on duty opened his eyes even more and stared at the surroundings. Any disturbance can lead to repeated inspections. For a moment, everyone's hearts were in their throats.
A high degree of vigilance is definitely not useless. Soon, the soldiers of the Mastiff Cavalry realized that they might be involved in a big battle. The patrolling scouts collided with the Ottoman cavalry scouts for several days. Although the other party dispersed quickly. but. You can be sure that the other party is definitely coming with bad intentions.
"Sir, we discovered that there are enemy cavalry activities in the west!"
Suddenly. The scout captain arrived in a hurry and reported a shocking news.
Gao Jie quickly informed the entire army of the news. Judging from the scouts' reconnaissance, it is very likely that the Ottoman Empire's cavalry troops appeared. Xu Xingxia was originally worried about the Ottoman Empire's cavalry troops, and he never knew their exact location. Now, they are finally willing to show up.
"Are you coming for us?"
"They must be coming for us!"
"Nonsense! We are the only troop nearby!"
The officers in the hall were not stupid, and they reacted immediately.
Any idiot can imagine that the Ottoman cavalry appeared at this time. He appeared near Ya'ergan City again, what exactly did he want to do. their purpose. Either capture Yaergan City or eliminate the mastiff cavalry. or. It's a bit of both.
Dare, Gao Jie asked them to do a good job of prevention work. Perhaps, the top brass of the White Army had long expected that the cavalry of the Ottoman Empire would do something like this. The Mastiff Cavalry was waiting in Yaergan City, with the purpose of giving the enemy a blow in the head. At this moment, the fighting spirit of the officers was immediately lifted.
Paralyzed, old man??I was already feeling depressed and uncomfortable, but now that you have come to my door, don't blame me for being rude. Following Gao Jie's order, the eight thousand soldiers of the Mastiff Cavalry immediately took action in an orderly manner. The entire Yaergan City was suddenly filled with a tense fighting atmosphere. There was an endless stream of people coming and going carrying ammunition.
¡¡
The white-coated troops are rude, and the Ottoman cavalry are even ruder.
¡°Biden almost issued a military order in front of Mahmoud, so he acted very quickly. In just three days, he assembled all the cavalry forces of the Ottoman Empire near the battlefield and launched an assault on Yargan City. In this battle, he can only win, not lose, so acting quickly is the key.
Of course, it is unrealistic to conceal all the details of the operation. Before a large force moves into action, a certain degree of reconnaissance must be conducted, and a considerable number of scouts must be dispatched. These scouts are likely to encounter the scouts of the White Army, thus exposing their actions. There is no way to completely avoid this, and Biden doesn't care about it.
What he and Mahmud were interested in were the white-coated troops stationed in Yargan City. The military camp was outside the city wall. Without the protection of the city wall, the defensive power of the defenders will inevitably be greatly reduced. Biden's battle plan is to capture Ya'ergan City within three days. According to his estimate, it was impossible for the White Army to have reinforcements arrive within three days. His actions must be fast.
"Da da da!"
"Da da da!"
The silent wilderness suddenly shook.
The thunderous sound of horse hooves rolled towards Yaergan City.
With tens of thousands of cavalry dispatched, it is impossible to keep secrets, and Biden has no order to keep secrets. As long as the troops can appear in the attack position within the stipulated time, and can launch an attack on the White Army within the stipulated time, the balance of victory will seriously tilt towards the Ottoman Empire. The final victory is just around the corner.
As the forward Mamluk cavalry, they are the fastest. They seemed to be a silver lightning, appearing in the sight of the white-clothed army. Born as slaves, they could only escape from their status as slaves by fighting to the death. Therefore, they are eager to make meritorious deeds, completely disregarding life and death. They only want to kill the White Army.
In the past, many powerful officials in the upper echelons of the Arab Empire came from the Mamluk cavalry. After the rise of the Ottoman Empire, the Arab Empire gradually weakened and finally shrank to the south of Egypt. However, the Mamluk cavalry who surrendered to the Ottoman Empire are still very beautiful. As long as they have military exploits, they can stand out.
"Your Majesty, the enemy is out! The total strength is about 10,000 people!"
As soon as the Mamluk cavalry was dispatched, the Mastiff cavalry learned the news. The scouts of the Mastiff Cavalry are all experienced in many battles. They have been keeping a close eye on the enemy's movements. If Biden's cavalry made any big moves, they would immediately realize it.
In an instant, the entire area around Yaergan City was boiling.
Looking through the telescope, the swarming Mamluk cavalry are like scorpions in the desert, appearing silently, very insidious and very cruel. If someone ignores their existence, the consequences will be tragic. At the beginning, the invincible Mongolian cavalry was defeated by the Mamluk cavalry because they underestimated the enemy and were careless.
For the convenience of fighting, Mamluk cavalry are not equipped with muskets. In their hands, they only have special scimitars. This nearly semicircular scimitar is about fifty meters long. It is made of Utz steel with beautiful patterns on the surface and is very sharp. The slashing force on horseback is very strong, and it can easily cut off a horse's head. If it were cut on a person, it would definitely be severed in two.
"All troops are free to open fire!"
Gao Jie put down the telescope calmly and gave the order decisively.
The Mamluk cavalry did not have muskets, so they were the best shooting targets for Chinese rifles. For the snipers of the Mastiff Cavalry, it is not difficult to shoot the target at a distance of three hundred meters. The Mamluk cavalry have a very high spirit, and their spirit must be knocked down as much as possible. The white-coated army has never been able to understand the high morale of the Ottoman Empire's army. As long as there is an opportunity to undermine the enemy's morale, they will not let it go.
¡°Bang bang bang!¡±
¡°Bang bang bang!¡±
Fierce gunfire suddenly rang out.
The mortar brigade of the Mastiff Cavalry Army has been transferred to the Lion Cavalry Army to support the battle. Therefore, the Mastiff Cavalry was temporarily unable to rely on the power of artillery, and they could only use Han-style rifles to fight back. To be honest, the Han-style rifle is a manual rifle after all, and its rate of fire is still not very impressive.Satisfactory. It was impossible to form an airtight wall of fire against the Mamluk cavalry.
Fortunately, there is a new and cheap weapon in front of the Mastiff Cavalry's position, and that is barbed wire. This kind of casually pulled barbed wire is exactly the same as that of later generations. It is rolled together and fixed to the ground with an iron rod half the size of an arm in the middle. Even many Mastiff Cavalry soldiers do not understand the role of barbed wire.
