(0809)
It was the Lion Cavalry that came towards them.
Originally, the Lion Cavalry Army was not suitable for undertaking such a frontal attack mission. They have never received training in this area before and have no actual combat experience in this area. Relatively speaking, the Leopard Cavalry and Mastiff Cavalry are more suitable for such occasions.
However, the Leopard Cavalry and the Mastiff Cavalry were unable to rush to the battlefield for the time being, so Xu Xingxia had no choice but to let the Lion Cavalry take the lead. Gao Yigong's confidence in the Lion Cavalry Army is also quite sufficient. There has to be a first time for everything, so let this be the first battle of the Lion Cavalry.
The opportunity is fleeting!
If this opportunity is missed, the White Army will suffer great losses.
Song Bingshu has received accurate news that the Ottoman army will gradually retreat. They pulled back the Sudanese soldiers and tried to remove the most elite Sudanese soldiers from the battlefield, leaving only some cannon fodder to contain the white army. As the commander-in-chief of the White Army, Xu Xingxia certainly did not want the 30,000 Sudanese soldiers to leave safely.
"If the White Army only forced the Ottoman Empire troops to retreat, they would come back in the future. Only by cutting off all their claws will they feel pain and fear. Therefore, it is not enough to simply eliminate the Ottoman cavalry, but all the Sudanese soldiers must be killed.
"Fire!"
Annaide shouted crazily.
The sudden change made Annaide look a little flustered.
Encountering a powerful attack by the White Army at this time, it was impossible for the Ottoman Empire to organize an effective defense line. Under the impact of the cavalry, the infantry formation will soon be scattered. The Sudanese soldiers actually had no advantage in dealing with the enemy's cavalry. And Annaid didn't have any spear phalanx in his hands.
Fortunately, the Ottoman army also had hundreds of cannons.
These hundreds of cannons were too heavy to maneuver quickly, so Annaide decided to give up on them all. Unexpectedly, the situation suddenly changed and he had to order these cannons to be rolled out for use. Fortunately, he had only ordered the abandonment of these cannons before, but not the destruction of these cannons. Otherwise, it would have been a disaster now.
However, it will definitely take some time to regroup the abandoned cannons for use. This period of time is the opportunity for the White Army. Just when Annaide ordered the artillery fire, the mortars of the White Army also began to roar.
The target of the mortar bombardment was the artillery position of the Ottoman Army. The so-called cavalry versus cavalry, artillery versus artillery. To maximize the effectiveness of the White Army's mortars, the Ottoman Army's artillery must first be killed.
"Boom!"
"Boom!"
Violent explosions continued.
Mortar shells fell like raindrops one after another.
The artillery position of the Ottoman Empire's troops suddenly turned into a sea of ??flames.
The entire position was shrouded in intense fire. The entire position was filled with air waves generated by the explosion. The white smoke that continued to spread intertwined with each other and enveloped the entire position. Anyone or anything that comes close to this position will be ruthlessly crushed. Screams kept coming, and no one knew who was screaming. The smell of gunpowder continued to spread to the surroundings, forcing the surrounding Ottoman soldiers to retreat desperately.
Before, the White Army¡¯s more than 300 mortars had been standing still, watching others fight. You can imagine how they felt in their hearts. Watching others fight, but you don't have a chance to take action. There is nothing more frustrating than this in the world.
Now, it¡¯s finally their chance to vent. They all wanted to fire the most shells in the shortest time. All the gunners were crazily stuffing shells into the barrels. Some mortar barrels soon began to smoke. Three hundred and seventy-five mortars were fired at the highest speed, and the density of the shells can be imagined.
"Oh my God, no?"
"What kind of devil are the white-robed soldiers?"
"Why are their cannons so powerful?"
Annaide was completely stunned, his eyes were dull and he muttered to himself.
The continuous shelling of the white-coated army completely stunned the Ottoman army.
The Ottoman artillery in the center of the bombardment was simply worse than death. They were running around desperately amid the overwhelming artillery fire. The intense smoke caused complete loss of visibility between the sky and the earth, and they could not tell the direction at all. They have no idea where they should let go in order to escape. Many people ran and fell to the ground, never to be seen again.Get up.
In the violent explosion, the cannons of the Ottoman Empire became the targets of massacre. They were blown to pieces, shattered, and incomplete. The thick gun barrel lost the support of the gun mount and could only sink deeply into the sand. The muzzle points to the ground and the butt points to the sky. The blown gun carriage and the gun wheel were rolling back and forth on the ground. Until it was blown away again, or until it was blown to pieces.
"Boom!"
"Boom!"
The explosion of mortar shells is actually not the most terrifying thing.
The most frightening thing is that the mortar bombing detonated the ammunition pile, which was like the sky falling apart, and the whole earth shook violently. Such a violent vibration made Mahmud couldn't help but change his expression.
"how so?"
"how so?"
Annaide muttered to himself helplessly.
He was really frightened by the overwhelming artillery fire.
Seeing the artillery fire of the white-coated army extending towards the position where he was standing, he actually didn't react at all. Fortunately, his guard was still very visible, and regardless of the situation, he hurriedly pulled him back. As soon as they ran a distance of thirty to forty feet, the artillery shells from the white-coated army landed where they were standing and exploded violently.
"Oh my God! We must retreat! If it's too late, it'll be too late!"
Annaid, who had just woken up from a dream, could no longer care about anything else and hurriedly looked for Mahmud. At this point, it is completely impossible to retreat the Sudanese soldiers alone. The only option is for the entire army to retreat, as long as they can run away!
In fact, without the support of artillery fire, the counterattack of the Sudanese soldiers suddenly seemed a bit dangerous. A large number of artillery shells poured into the queue of Sudanese soldiers, constantly erupting with dazzling fire. Every explosion caused a large number of Sudanese soldiers to fall to the ground screaming. Many Sudanese soldiers were blown to pieces. In an instant, the ranks of the Sudanese soldiers were all dispersed. A conservative estimate puts the number of casualties at no less than 3,000.
Xu Xingxia concentrated all the mortars on the Lion Cavalry this time, and wanted this effect. He wanted the Sudanese soldiers to experience the warmest reception of the White Army. The overwhelming artillery fire was the best gift the white-coated army gave to the Sudanese soldiers.
In fact, this gift really lived up to expectations. The rate of casualties among the Sudanese soldiers was as unstoppable as a flood that lacked embankments. They all fell in pieces. In a short period of time, their casualties had exceeded five thousand.
¡°Even if it is delayed for one minute, the death toll of the Sudanese soldiers will increase significantly. Because, in every minute, the white-coated troops could drop at least five thousand mortar shells on the position of the Sudanese soldiers.
Five thousand rounds of mortar shells, what is this concept? The concept is that the White Army will be able to wipe out all the Sudanese soldiers simply by using artillery fire. If the Sudanese soldiers did not retreat, they would all die under the artillery fire of the White Army in just half an hour. The efficiency of cannons in killing people is really too high.
In the face of crazy artillery fire, the soldiers of the Lion Cavalry Army had no chance to show off their skills. There is no way, the artillery fire in front is too fierce. If they rush up at this time, they will definitely be accidentally injured by artillery fire. Therefore, they could only stand behind the artillery fire and watch obediently as the Sudanese soldiers were cleared out one by one.
Some soldiers with a longer-term vision have begun to realize that future wars will be dominated by artillery. The role of infantry will become smaller and smaller. Clarifying the relationship between infantry and artillery is very important for future battles.
Annaide was so heartbroken that he shouted anxiously, regardless of the dignity of his superiors and subordinates: "General, we can't go on like this! We must retreat!"
Mahmud sighed helplessly and said bitterly: "Retreat! The entire army retreats!"
At this time, continuing to talk extravagantly about the honor of the Sudanese Janissaries will only lead to the complete annihilation of the Sudanese Janissaries. Therefore, Mahmoud did not persist. Annaide was indeed right this time. They did retreat as much as they could. If you hesitate, your entire army will be wiped out and no one will be left.
"Withdraw!"
"Take it back!"
Annaide immediately issued an order.
When the order to retreat came, all the Ottoman troops were immediately defeated.
Under such circumstances, it is definitely impossible to maintain a complete retreat order. We can only run for our lives, as long as we can.
So, those Ottoman soldiers who were able to find horses took the lead in retreating.Those who don¡¯t have war horses can only run behind the war horses.
Without hesitation, Annaide got on his horse and galloped towards the west.
Similarly, Mahmud did not dare to neglect, he also got on his horse and hurried towards the west.
They must escape from the control of the Three Western Kingdoms before the news of their defeat reaches them. Otherwise, many variables will suddenly increase. Thinking that the three countries in the Western Region were very likely to retaliate, even Mahmud did not dare to be careless in the slightest.
Especially the Kingdom of Khorasan is the main route for the retreat of the Ottoman Empire. Savannah, who was strongly supported by the White Army, was the original queen of Khorasan. If the Khorasan Kingdom and the White Army join forces, their situation will be very bad.
