Piao Tian Literature [Chapter 806] The Leopard Cavalry is outflanking from behind!
(0806)
"What?"
"Is itthe White Army?"
Biden immediately screamed and fell to the ground. Press ctrl + d to quickly collect """
Damn it, the reinforcements from the White Army actually arrived at this time?
The attack in front failed badly, the troops suffered heavy losses, but there was a fire in the backyard. What kind of scene is this? Biden has been on the battlefield for more than 20 years and has never encountered such a dangerous situation. Being attacked from both sides is definitely the most dangerous situation. If he is not careful, he will turn from hunter to prey.
He immediately subconsciously felt that he was being plotted by the White Army. Not only was he plotted against, but the entire Ottoman army, including Mahmud, was plotted against. The white-clothed army deliberately let Ya'er control the city's defense, leaving a gap to attract them, with the purpose of annihilating them all. I have to say that the White Army did a great job.
In this place in the Western Region, the roads are intertwined, the sea and the sky are vast, and there are many places where the cavalry can hide. It is very difficult for the White Army to search for the whereabouts of the Mamluk cavalry. Therefore, they had no choice but to find a way to attract the Mamluk cavalry. And Ya'er Gancheng is the best bait. As a result, the Mamluk cavalry was really fooled and ran into the trap.
Now that the White Army has made preparations, it is obviously impossible for the Ottoman Empire's army to gain benefits from Yalgan City. The only thing Biden can do now is to quickly withdraw his troops and preserve his strength. If the white-coated army really made dumplings, the matter would be serious. If all the Mamluk cavalry were lost, he, Biden, would have no choice but to commit suicide to apologize.
"My lord, the commander, seems to be a brother of the Leopard Cavalry" The scout captain of the Mastiff Cavalry hurriedly rode his horse to Gao Jie and said with a strange expression.
At this moment, it was the Leopard Cavalry led by Mao Shisan that appeared behind the Ottoman Imperial Army. They did not have any agreement with the Mastiff Cavalry in advance. Therefore, everyone in the Mastiff Cavalry seemed a little strange about their appearance. It seems that the current situation of the Mastiff Cavalry does not require the Leopard Cavalry to lend a helping hand, right? What exactly are they going to do?
Gao Jie said in a deep voice: "This is the arrangement of the Chairman of the Generalissimo. The Mamluk cavalry must be wiped out. I knew about this in advance."
Everyone in the Mastiff Cavalry suddenly realized this.
It turns out that this is another secret military operation planned by the Chairman.
No wonder, the behavior of Commander Gao Jie before was so weird, as if he knew that the war was about to start, forcing the whole army to prepare nervously for the war, without daring to relax at all.
The Mastiff Cavalry beat the Mamluk Cavalry to a pulp. Now, the Leopard Cavalry has done this again. It is estimated that the Mamluk Cavalry is definitely doomed. How could the remnant and defeated Mamluk cavalry be a match for the vigorous Leopard Cavalry?
¡¡
"It's these guys!"
"Brothers! Attention! Destroy them!"
Li Zicheng's voice sounded very sharp among the Leopard Cavalry.
The commanders of the Leopard Cavalry at the forefront were Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong. As squadron leaders, the two of them have now become the charging arrows of the Leopard Cavalry, often fighting on the front line in person. They each brought their own squadrons and suddenly inserted themselves into the ranks of the Ottoman Empire cavalry from two different areas. The Ottoman cavalry was caught off guard and was immediately disrupted.
¡°Bang bang bang!¡±
¡°Bang bang bang!¡±
The gunfire sounded continuously.
The Ottoman cavalry fell one after another in chaos.
At such a close distance, the power of the Han-style rifle is absolutely unstoppable.
The Mamluk cavalry themselves are not equipped with long-range weapons, which makes them quite passive when encountering musket fire. However, the muskets at that time, including the Lumi gun, were not very effective in the face of cavalry raids. As long as the cavalry is fast and charges, they can break into the ranks of musketeers and start a killing spree.
Besides, weapons such as muzzleloaders are indeed not suitable for use on horseback. Therefore, the Mamluk cavalry did not feel the need to equip long-range weapons. The weapon of the Mamluk cavalry is actually very simple, just a sharp Damascus knife.
A very few Mamluk cavalry may equip themselves with more than three javelins to make up for the lack of attack power in short and medium distances. The effective range of this kind of javelin is generally about ten feet. If it exceeds ten feet, the damage will be very limited.
When the Mamluk cavalry faced Han-style rifles?The shortcomings in long-range attack power are vividly displayed and clearly visible at a glance. From a purely weapons and equipment perspective, the Mamluk cavalry were basically in a state of being beaten. They can only suffer passive blows, and it is almost impossible to fight back. The white cavalry gave them no chance to fight back. The Mamluk cavalry themselves did not have the ability to fight back.
"Damn it! Where did they come from?"
Biden¡¯s mind is almost in chaos, with the preface and the follower not matching up.
The emergence of the Leopard Cavalry seriously affected his deployment. Realizing the great danger, he had to work hard to calm down and think about how to deal with it. The entire Ottoman Imperial Army suddenly fell into extreme panic with the appearance of the Leopard Cavalry. Some Ottoman cavalry even desperately began to withdraw from the battlefield.
It¡¯s a joke, who can not be nervous when faced with the enemy¡¯s attacks from both front and back? How can ordinary people understand the feeling of being attacked from both sides? Once the white-clothed troops in front launch a counterattack, and the white-clothed troops from behind swarm in again, all of them will probably die here. For the sake of your own life, it is wise to evacuate the battlefield as soon as possible.
"The Leopard Cavalry arrived just in time!" Gao Jie said to himself.
There was no emotion in his tone, it seemed like a simple soliloquy without any purpose or pertinence. However, people who have been around Gao Jie for a long time can vaguely hear that Gao Jie's words are not actually a compliment, but a bit of dissatisfaction hidden. It seems that the tall leader of the Mastiff Cavalry probably felt that the Leopard Cavalry appeared too early and too fast.
Also, judging from the current combat situation, the Mastiff Cavalry has every opportunity and ability to eliminate more Mamluk cavalry. The Mamluk cavalry showed no signs of retreating immediately. Therefore, there is absolutely no need for the Leopard Cavalry to appear so quickly. They could continue to lurk nearby and wait until the Mamluk cavalry could no longer support themselves before appearing.
However, the Leopard Cavalry showed up early. This is more or less suspected of taking credit. Perhaps, the men and women of the Leopard Cavalry were worried that all the Mamluk cavalry would be exhausted by the Mastiff Cavalry, and there would be no share of their Leopard Cavalry. Or perhaps, their whereabouts had been discovered by the Ottoman cavalry, and they had to appear in advance.
No matter what, the appearance of the Leopard Cavalry is really not the best time. However, now that they have appeared, there is no way to continue to shrink back. The Mastiff Cavalry and the Leopard Cavalry can only expand their results as much as possible under the existing conditions.
"Order the Fifth Brigade to counterattack!" Gao Jie ordered decisively.
The fifth brigade is the reserve team of the Mastiff Cavalry. It hasn¡¯t had a chance to go into battle yet, but the Leopard Cavalry showed up early. If the fifth brigade doesn't go out to fight yet, it probably won't have a chance to go out. There is no other way but to send them forward as soon as possible and continue to deal a heavy blow to the Mamluk cavalry, even if it is to make some extra money temporarily.
Sure enough, the counterattack of the Fifth Battalion immediately made the Mamluk cavalry on the front line feel bad, and they had to start to retreat. Between life and death, no honor or glory can be taken care of for the time being. This is not a matter of life and death for one or two people, but a matter of life and death for the entire army. If they are not careful, they will be wiped out.
"Good guy, we haven't even used the reserve team yet! I guess they have some objections to us." Mao Shisan looked at the telescope, frowned, and said to himself.
He knew that he was a little reckless and appeared on the battlefield too early, which would probably cause dissatisfaction among the Mastiff Cavalry. However, there is nothing we can do about it. Not every battle can be carried out to the beat, and occasional mistakes are inevitable. I guess the Mastiff Cavalry had some objections at the beginning, but they gradually returned to normal.
To be honest, the mission carried out by the Leopard Cavalry Army this time is actually not easy. Smart generals all know that the most effective way to deal with cavalry is cavalry. Therefore, the main task of the Leopard Cavalry is to capture the cavalry of the Ottoman Empire, especially the Mamluk cavalry. It can be said that this is completely a game of hide and seek.
In order to avoid the attacks of the White Army cavalry, the Mamluk cavalry have been quietly hiding themselves. The Leopard Cavalry is also quietly hiding itself. The two opponents were hiding silently in the darkness, silently waiting for the other to appear. Obviously, in such a situation, the person who appears first will definitely suffer.
In the end, Xu Xingxia decided to use Ya'er Gancheng as a bait to lure the Ottoman Empire's cavalry. He would first use the Mastiff Cavalry to block the enemy's advance, kill the enemy's spirit fiercely, and then use the Leopard Cavalry to outflank the enemy from behind, killing them all in one fell swoop. Annihilate.
This trick is actually not new at all. However, the simpler the method, the more effective the method is. The simpler it isThe more difficult it is to crack the method. In fact, this was also the case. Faced with the sudden appearance of the Leopard Cavalry, the Ottoman Imperial Army felt very passive. The rearguard quickly broke up.
"Retreat!"
"The whole army retreats!"
Biden ordered the retreat without hesitation.
He is still very decisive and understands that at this time, he must not hesitate.
The situation at this time is already very dangerous. Even an idiot can see that the White Army is targeting them and will not give up until they are all wiped out. If their retreat was a little slower, what awaited them would be the fate of the entire army being destroyed.
