- Aziz was very panicked at this moment. The reason why he was so afraid of the enemy was because he knew the desert environment very well.
If the Imperial Army was also composed of tribal warriors living in this desert, then Aziz would not be so uneasy.
But the Imperial Army is an outsider after all, and they haven't gotten used to the environment here yet.
Besides, they also marched in the desert for many days, and the physical fitness and energy of the soldiers were somewhat affected.
Considering these factors, Aziz believed that the Imperial Army would not be able to survive this sudden attack unscathed.
However, his persuasion did not make the young general sway. Instead, he allowed himself to calm down and watch their methods.
God, are all the people in the Song Empire so arrogant?
¡°I don¡¯t know where he got the confidence that he could face this sudden battle.
Maybe it¡¯s not necessarily a mistake that the tribe chose to surrender to the Song Empire.
In just a short moment, many thoughts flashed through Aziz's heart.
Zhang Xiao didn¡¯t know these thoughts in Aziz¡¯s mind.
However, even if he knew about it, he would probably sneer and pass it by.
After all, people like Aziz have no idea how powerful the Imperial Army is.
You must understand that the Imperial Army is not a rookie who has not experienced the test of blood and fire. The 4,000-strong army under his command was torn from Europe and stationed in the Cairo Concession.
When they were in Europe, they helped the French fight against the Holy Roman Empire for a full year and a half, and with only 8,000 troops, they withstood the opponent's attack of more than 10,000 people.
Under such a disadvantageous comparison of forces, the Imperial Army did not suffer many casualties, and at the same time it inflicted heavy losses on the opponent.
It can be seen that this Imperial Army is no ordinary army.
Of course. While in Europe, the name of this army was the ¡®American Volunteers¡¯. But this is all on the surface. In private, this army is actually a professional force organized by the Imperial Army.
After a year and a half of experience in the European battlefield, the combat effectiveness of this army is not that good.
Of course, Aziz is not very clear about this. After all, things in Europe are still too far away for the Arabs in the Cuman region.
This time when they entered Cuman, Zhang Xiao¡¯s troops did not carry heavy weapons such as artillery.
After all, considering that Cuman is a desert terrain, using artillery here will cause a lot of inconvenience.
So, a powerful artillery piece. He was left in the Cairo Concession.
But even so, this army of four thousand people is not something that the Arabs in the Cuman region can handle.
However, the Imperial Army has not yet demonstrated its majestic appearance, which led to Aziz's misconception that the Imperial Army could not cope with the current situation.
Soon, however, Aziz would change his mind.
The reason is simple. As the Tartanil cavalry approaches quickly, the battle is about to begin.
"The enemy has entered the range. The first team fires!"
Following the orders from the grassroots officers, groups of Imperial Army soldiers pulled the triggers of their muskets.
Immediately, the crackling sound of gunfire echoed under the sand dunes.
Whoosh!
Whizzing!
Wow!
The Tartanir cavalry in the attack. He fell off the camel's back like a straw.
They were knocked to the ground in front of Aziz and the others as if they were hit by an invisible heavy hammer.
Pungent green smoke rose, and the soldiers in the first row quickly retreated, and the soldiers in the second row who had been prepared quickly filled in. Then raise the gun and shoot.
Crack, crackle!
Bursts of gunfire rang out, followed by the charging Tartanian cavalry falling off the backs of camels.
The Tartanir cavalry is very brave, even if their companions in front are constantly knocked down. But the warrior behind still waved the scimitar in his hand and continued to charge forward.
For them, as long as they can rush to the front of the enemy queue, they can defeat these enemies.
There is no enemy that cannot be defeated by the brave Tartanir warrior's scimitar.
There is nothing wrong with this idea. What is wrong is that they do not know the enemy they are facing now.who is it.
How could it be so easy to break through the five-stage ray-shaped battle formation formed by the Imperial Army?
If it were so easy, the Iroquois Indians in America and the Holy Roman Army in Europe would not be defeated by the Imperial Army.
The Iroquois Indian warriors were not as brave as the Arab warriors in the Cuman area, and were even more powerful.
" Moreover, the charge they launched was even more violent than the charge launched by the Tartanians now. But even so, the Imperial Army battle formation was not broken.
The same goes for the armies of the Holy Roman Empire.
Even the armies of the Holy Roman Empire used cavalry to charge.
But these are of no use in front of the Imperial Army.
It can be said that as the empire becomes stronger and stronger, the strength of the imperial army also gradually increases.
At the same time, after experiencing actual combat and gaining rich combat experience, the combat effectiveness of the Imperial Army has been greatly improved.
Not to mention Zhang Xiao, even the grassroots soldiers and low-level officers did not pay attention to the sudden attack launched by the Tartanir cavalry in front of them.
??From the faces of the Imperial Army soldiers, you can't see a trace of fear or uneasiness at all. Instead, you can see a strange look of relaxation.
Yes, it¡¯s easy!
Damn it, are these guys here for an outing?
"Moreover, what they are facing now is a sudden attack by more than 2,000 cavalry.
In this era, if the army of any country encounters a sudden attack by more than 2,000 cavalry, it will not feel as relaxed as the Imperial Army.
Because most of the time, when infantry meets cavalry, they end in failure.
Not to mention facing a sudden attack by the cavalry.
But the Imperial Army is completely opposite. It doesn¡¯t think that such an attack can cause any losses to itself.
This is just a small appetizer to help them pass the boring days after entering Cuman.
After several days of marching in the desert. Although everyone felt a little uncomfortable due to the environment, they also felt a little irritable in their hearts.
At this time, you really need to vent to calm yourself down.
Now it's better, some people have come to the door, and the soldiers who are holding back their anger can vent their anger.
This is considered unlucky for these guys. They are so desperate to come to them at this time. It can only be said that they are unlucky.
The cavalry came like a wave, but no one could rush within 150 meters in front of the Imperial Army. Basically, they all fell in the distance between 160 meters and 200 meters.
The army commanded by Zhang Xiao has 4,000 troops. After forming a five-stage linear battle formation, there were 800 people in a row.
In a single salvo, eight hundred muskets can fire at the same time. Considering the accuracy of this kind of musket and the mobility of the enemy's charge, a single volley can kill more than 200 enemies.
This is calculated based on less.
The actual result was that, because of their ignorance of the Imperial Army, the Tartanil cavalry who launched the charge were all crowded together, forming a dense charge formation.
Faced with such a charge formation, the Imperial Army's five-stage shooting can be said to be like a duck in water. Greatly improves the hit rate of killing enemies.
The effect can be seen from the fact that the Tartanian cavalry fell like wheat.
Furthermore, Imperial Army soldiers regularly train and maintain a high level of speed in the five-stage shooting.
One minute. Basically a round shot is guaranteed.
So that means that the charging Tartanian cavalry will be shot by 4,000 muskets and face 4,000 projectiles in just one minute.
Even if the hit rate is not considered. The probability of them being hit is also very high.
Not to mention that the target of the camel cavalry is much larger than that of the cavalry in a normal environment, and it is even easier to be hit.
at the same time. Although the camel cavalry has great advantages in fighting in the desert, its speed is not as fast as the speed of war horses on the battlefield in a normal environment.
And this allows the soldiers of the Imperial Army to hit the target easily.
This encounter left Aziz stunned.
The whole battle process didn¡¯t take long, from start to finish it only took fifteen minutes.It¡¯s just time.
However, these fifteen minutes made Aziz experience a roller coaster ride from hell to heaven.
Of course, it is impossible for Aziz to know what a roller coaster is, but this description is not an exaggeration at all.
The Tartanil cavalry, who were charging with a roar just fifteen minutes ago, have now covered the sand dunes in front of them.
Many Tartanil warriors who had lost their fighting power but were not yet dead continued to moan and scream in pain, which completely filled the place.
How on earth is it done!
The Tartanians did not rush forward at all, and they fell off the camels one by one.
No matter how desperate they were to charge, they just couldn't get in front of the Imperial Army.
It¡¯s just a ghost!
"How about it? Do you still think we are no match for these people?"
Having dealt with these enemies who suddenly attacked, Zhang Xiao is in a good mood now.
He turned his head and looked at Aziz, who had a big mouth and a look of dementia and asked with a cold face.
Aziz¡¯s previous fear and suggestion made Zhang Xiao feel very uncomfortable.
Now, he told Aziz with facts, don¡¯t underestimate the power of the Imperial Army when you go there.
"How did you do this! Did you use magic?"
Aziz was stunned for a while, then came back to his senses, and then asked stupidly.
And the tribal envoys who went to the Cairo Concession with Aziz and now returned together, all looked like Aziz, showing the same stupid look of disbelief.
Yes, Aziz is not the only one who is curious about this issue, everyone else is very curious.
"This is the power and damage caused by the weapons used by our Imperial Army soldiers, the muskets!"
oh! oh! oh!
Musket!
Yes, musket!
Aziz suddenly remembered that when the Imperial Army fought, they used muskets.
Although this kind of musket is very different from the muskets he has seen, the Song Empire did use muskets.
It seems that I also bought 200 rods for the tribe
Zhang Xiao was too lazy to pay attention to these rubes, but called his adjutant and said: "Send someone to clean up. I only need a few people alive to ask for intelligence information, and the rest of the half-dead guys will be dealt with by me. Since you dare to attack us If the Imperial Army launches a charge, then they must bear serious consequences. "
The adjutant nodded and immediately took the order and left.
Zhang Xiao did not pay too much attention to these enemies because he did not think that these enemies could cause losses to his army.
However, he didn¡¯t care, but what he needed to know was where these enemies came from and why they attacked him.
And, are there any of their companions around here Wait, this information needs to be obtained.
And Zhang Xiao gave the order to deal with the injured people because he didn¡¯t want to take prisoners.
After all, the opponent left three to four hundred prisoners in this battle. The treatment and care of these prisoners will distract his strength. Zhang Xiao does not want the combat power to be dispersed, so the best solution is to 'clean up' them.
In this way, it will save you a lot of trouble, right?
In this way, a thousand soldiers were separated from the team, mounted bayonets on their muskets and began to 'clean up' the Tartanian cavalry (To be continued) - Didn't finish reading?
