Preface [Chapter 804] The function of barbed wire

Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Piaotian Literature (0804)

    In fact, for the cavalry, these barbed wire fences are a fatal existence.  The experience of later generations shows that rolls of barbed wire, placed regularly on the battlefield, can effectively block the advance of cavalry troops.  If the war horse accidentally hits the barbed wire fence, it will definitely fall down immediately.  Barbed wire with a large number of barbs, barbs, thorns, thorns, rusty arrowheads, etc. will forcefully hook the war horse to the ground.

    The barbed wire fence also plays a huge role, which is to eliminate the inertia caused by the high-speed advancement of the cavalry.  No matter how fast the war horses are, it is impossible to break away the rolls of barbed wire.  The intertwined barbed wire obviously has the effect of lifting a thousand pounds.  Once the war horse falls to the ground, it will definitely be covered in bruises and horrific injuries.

    As for the knight on horseback, it is very likely that he will be thrown out alive and fall like a wolf in front of the white army's position.  At that time, the soldiers of the White Army can consider giving the opponent a shot to end their pain.  If you want to save bullets, give them a bayonet.  Of course, it¡¯s okay to turn a blind eye.  It is estimated that the person who was thrown away like this will stand up in a daze and has no fighting ability.

    The rolls of barbed wire looked absolutely inconspicuous on the outside, so that the Mamluk cavalry who were charging were not aware of the danger at all.  They paid no attention to the barbed wire.  Maybe he noticed it and thought it was no big deal, but the horse bumped away at once.  They were still flying forward at high speed, their eyes shining with victory.  It seemed that respectable status and abundant wealth were already beckoning to them.

    Behind the Mamluk cavalry, Biden and his staff were full of confidence in victory.  Judging from the appearance, the White Army's position is really crude.  They were completely vulnerable to the elite Mamluk cavalry.  With the speed of the Mamluk cavalry, it only takes a short time to engage the white army in close combat.  Once the two sides come into contact, the sharpness of the Damascus knife will definitely cut the white army into pieces.

    "Army in white, you are dead!"

    "Yalgan City will definitely become the empire's bridgehead in the east!"

    Seeing victory in sight, Biden couldn't help but feel complacent.  Regardless of the fighting situation of the Sudanese soldiers, he will definitely win this first victory.

    "Bros!"

    "The opportunity to make meritorious deeds has come again!"

    "No one is allowed to embarrass the Mastiff Cavalry! Otherwise, they will be automatically discharged from the army!"

    Gao Jie shouted calmly, and inadvertently took out the trump card of voluntary discharge.

    As the leader of the Mastiff Cavalry, Gao Jie has always given outsiders the impression that he is cold and murderous, with almost no personality.  Others can be killed or not, but generally not killed.  He can be killed or not, kill them all.  Even within the White Army, some people criticized him.  In fact, the soldiers within the Mastiff Cavalry all liked him.  Nothing else, just enough flavor.  For those shaking heads sitting on the wall, kill them all with one knife.

    With a mastiff cavalry of 8,000 people and an Ottoman cavalry of only about 10,000 people, Gao Jie was not worried about failure at all.  The only thing he needs to consider is whether he can make less sacrifices.  Of course, there is a more important point, which is to cause maximum casualties to the enemy as much as possible.  Destroying the enemy's vitality is always the first element.

    "Warriors, the true God is watching you!"

    "The rich eastern land is waiting for you to conquer!"

    Seeing that the cavalry team was about to rush to the front of the White Army's position, Biden immediately shouted.

    From his point of view, the Mamluk cavalry can enter the White Army's position with just one sprint.  Although the white army's muskets were still firing.  Although the Mamluk cavalry continued to fall.  However, they were successfully getting closer after all.

    With the combat effectiveness of the Mamluk cavalry, as long as they enter the White Army's position, victory will definitely belong to them.  Judging from the intelligence on the White Army collected by the Empire, it seems that the White Army has never been good at hand-to-hand combat.

    ¡°Crash!¡±

    ¡°Crash!¡±

    "Hui Yuyu!"

    "Hui Yuyu!"

    Suddenly, there was a messy sound coming from the front.

    The sounds of the cavalry falling and the neighing screams of the war horses were intertwined with each other.

    But it was the Mamluk cavalry who rushed at the front and accidentally hit the top of the barbed wire, dragging the barbed wire and making a cold and harsh sound.  Under the drag of the barbed wire, those high-speed horses, no matter how fast they were or how big their bodies were, had to fall limply.  Blood splashed out, creating a large rain of blood.

    HorseThe human body on the bed was almost overturned directly into the white-coated army's position under the huge inertial impact.  They were beaten to pieces and were stabbed to death by sharp bayonets before they could stand up.  Others fell directly into the trenches dug by the White Army and were immediately stabbed to death by the sharp wooden stakes in the trenches.  It is estimated that these poor Mamluk cavalry did not figure out how they died until they died.

    A large number of fallen horses suddenly became obstacles, blocking the progress of other Mamluk cavalry.  It is absolutely impossible to rein in a horse while galloping at high speed.  There is no other way, all the Mamluk cavalry can only go forward and continue.  They can only make a desperate move, risk everything and move forward in a straight line.

    So, more Mamluk cavalry were unwilling to do so, but they had to fall near the barbed wire fence.  This scene is like the surging waves hitting the rocks on the shore and being forced to stop.  No matter how unwilling and persistent the waves are, they can never break through the containment of the rocks.

    "what happened?"

    Biden asked his staff in confusion.

    No one can answer.  Because they don't know what's going on.

    All the Mamluk cavalry seemed to be seized by something in an instant.

    It took a while for Biden to figure out the situation.  A centurion from the front line ran back desperately and reported the latest situation to him.  He suddenly lost his mind and yelled angrily: "What? Barbed wire? Our warriors can't even break through the barbed wire? What on earth do you do for food?"

    He really couldn't accept this reality.  Isn't it just some barbed wire?  Why can't you rush through?  In his subconscious mind, as long as the war horse jumped easily, he could jump over the barbed wire fence.  Even if you don't jump and hit directly, you can still knock the barbed wire away!  How could such a powerful impact be blocked by some fragile barbed wire?

    The Mamluk cavalry officer who came back to report the news was also helpless.  He also couldn't understand why his companions couldn't break through those barbed wire fences.  But that's the reality.  Whether they can figure it out or not, they must pay attention to those barbed wire fences.  If these barbed wire fences cannot be cleared, there is no way they can get close to the White Army.

    You must know that the Mamluk cavalry under his command are the most elite.  They had never encountered such a situation in previous battles.  For them, the only defense that cannot be opened is the strong and towering city wall.  However, there is no solid and towering city wall outside the White Army's position!

    If you can't even get close to the White Army's position, the problem will be huge.  The longer they are exposed to the guns of the White Army, the greater the casualties they will encounter.  They have already tasted the power of the White Army's muskets.  In such a short period of time, his unit had suffered heavy casualties.

    "We must rush over! We must rush over!"

    At the critical moment, Biden risked everything and shouted sternly.

    He was prepared to take casualties.  It is absolutely impossible to eliminate the White Army without paying some casualties.  At the same time, at this juncture, it is impossible for him to order the withdrawal of troops.  Once the order is given to withdraw troops, everything will be chaos.  It is difficult for the cavalry that has been fully deployed and entered the attack state to retreat.

    Under his strict orders, the Mamluk cavalry continued to charge forward.  They rushed toward the bloody barbed wire without fear of death, hoping to use their bodies and the bodies of their horses to completely crush the barbed wire.  Some Mamluk cavalrymen with strong arms also tried to cut the barbed wire fence with sharp Damascus knives.

    ¡°Klute, you come up too!¡±

    "Your mission is to tear apart the barbed wire fence!"

    Suddenly, Biden clenched his fists and issued an order again.

    Klut led ordinary Ottoman cavalry, which was inferior to the Mamluk cavalry in terms of combat effectiveness.  Therefore, in this order, Biden already has some intention of treating Klute as cannon fodder.  However, they were equipped with muskets and could shoot at the white-coated troops near the barbed wire fence, causing a certain degree of casualties to the white-coated troops.

    Biden¡¯s original intention was to hope that the ordinary imperial cavalry would rush forward and replace the elite Mamluk cavalry, so as to reduce the losses of the Mamluk cavalry as much as possible.  After all, every Mamluk cavalry is an elite of the empire.  It was indeed a pity to be beaten to death by the white-clad army in vain.  They shouldn't have lost it like this.

    The most ideal situation is, of course, for the general cavalry to open the barbed wire fence, and then the Mamluk cavalry will continue to charge forward, expand the breach, and expand theResults.  As long as there is no obstacle of barbed wire, there is no doubt that the Mamluk cavalry will win.  Five thousand Mamluk cavalry are enough to chop up tens of thousands of enemies.  As long as the final victory can be achieved, Biden does not mind that all the cavalry under Klute's command are killed in battle.

    Of course, Klute doesn¡¯t think so.  He believes that his presence on the battlefield is actually a good opportunity to make meritorious deeds.  If the Mamluk cavalry cannot open the gap, but the cavalry under his command can open the gap, his name of Klute will immediately become famous all over the world, and fame and fortune are inevitable.  Therefore, Klute did not feel inappropriate at all about becoming "cannon fodder."  He happily carried out the order.  !  .
