Chapter 1584, robbers who take advantage of the fire
"First team, prepare, open fire~"
"Bang~bang~"
Accompanied by the dense gunfire, the people at the forefront of the Ottoman Empire and the Egyptian musketeers fell down like dumplings, but soon, someone would immediately come forward to fill the vacancy in the back line and restore the complete queue.
At this moment, almost everyone on the entire Dabik grassland was watching the battle of shooting among musketeers. They were like European knights, without any protection, and they would never take a step back. However, they kept moving forward and moving forward, getting closer and closer to each other.
The skeleton is a skeleton, a skeleton is a skeleton, a skeleton is a skeleton, a skeleton is a skeleton, a skeleton is a skeleton, a skeleton is a skeleton, a skeleton is a skeleton, a skeleton is a skeleton, a skeleton is a skeleton, a skeleton is a skeleton, a skeleton is a skeleton, a skeleton is a skeleton, a skeleton is a skeleton, a skeleton is a skeleton, a skeleton is a skeleton, a skeleton is a skeleton, a skeleton is a skeleton, a skeleton is a skeleton, a s
Kansu II could even clearly see the sweat beads emerging from the foreheads of the soldiers at the forefront. This tactic of queuing and shooting undoubtedly required fearless courage for the soldiers on both sides of the war.
Being greedy for life and fear of death is human instinct. Only fearless courage and supreme honor can make people overcome the fear of death and line up to fight against the other party.
Such courage, such courage, 30,000 vs. 30,000, musketeers line up to play and shoot them, it depends on who is lucky and who can't hold on first.
However, there was a huge difference between the two sides in line to kill him soon.
Egyptian musketeers have been training for a long time and all they use are Miyun Type 16 flintlock muskets imported from the Ming Dynasty. They have a long range, relatively better accuracy and faster speed.
Although the musketeers on the Ottoman Empire had been trained for a long time, only 10,000 of them used the Miyun Sixteen Flintlock Muskets, and 20,000 used the flintlock Muskets made by the Ottoman Empire themselves.
The flintlock muskets made by the Ottoman Empire themselves are of great difference in quality than those made by the Ming Dynasty.
Not only is the range closer, the firing rate is slower, and the accuracy is much lower. The most important thing is that the reliability is very poor. There will be problems when you hit and there will be no way to continue firing.
When the distance between the two sides is relatively long, the hit rate of both sides is very low, and the casualties are not big. However, when both sides take steps and walk into a distance of fifty meters, the casualties of musketeers on one side of the Ottoman Empire began to increase urgently in a surge.
As soon as the Egyptian musketeers opened fire, the musketeers at the forefront of the Ottoman Empire fell almost to a sudden turn. However, as soon as the Ottoman musketeers opened fire, only two or three of the Egyptian musketeers fell.
Such a huge difference, with rounds of volleys after rounds of volleys, the musketeers on the Ottoman Empire finally couldn't hold on.
The death was too tragic, and a large number of soldiers fell on the grassland, with corpses everywhere and blood flowing into rivers. In the end, only less than 10,000 musketeers in the 30,000 Ottoman Empire were left, while only less than 3,000 musketeers on the Egyptian side were injured or killed. The huge difference between them made the remaining musketeers no longer able to hold on.
"Your Highness, you must replace the musketeers, you can't beat them~"
"It's impossible to ruin all these musketeers here, it took a huge price to build it."
Ali Pasha was also anxious. These 30,000 musketeers were built by Valice II at a huge cost.
The muskets in their hands were all made of real money.
Needless to mention the sixteen-type Miyun muskets imported from the Ming Dynasty, more than 200 taels of silver per shot were simply a sky-high price. The Ottoman Empire captured a large number of craftsmen from Europe. The flintlock muskets made by these craftsmen imitating the muskets of the Ming people were much cheaper, much more.
However, because the Ottoman Empire did not have mature technology, the cost was still quite large. The yield rate of these muskets was extremely low, and only 10% or 20% of the ten muskets were produced. A large number of muskets were prone to failure and damage.
Although there were only 30,000 musketeers, the Ottoman Empire had spent millions of taels of silver and spent a lot of manpower and material resources.
This musket force was used by the Ottoman Empire to deal with the Europeans. I hoped that it would rely on it to conquer cities and land in Europe in the future, so I could not be completely left here.
"Retreat~"
After a while, Selim pondered, he immediately issued an order to remove the musketeers.
A large number of cavalry began to attack the Egyptian musketeers to cover the retreat of the musketeers. However, these cavalrymen attacking the Egyptian musketeers were undoubtedly also devastating.
Under the powerful and dense array, the power of the musket was exerted to the greatest extent, and rolling smoke filled the air, and countless cavalry fell from the horse.
The Egyptian musketeers were like a torrent, accompanied by gunpowder smoke. Wherever they passed, the Ottoman army could not resist at all, as if they were sharp swords penetrated into the Ottoman army camp.
"Retreat~"
Ali Pasha put down the telescope in his hand. If he could withdraw successfully in this battle today, it would be a situation where he would not lose or win.
"But, I'm really unwilling to give up~"
Selim looked at the Egyptian army led by musketeers, and his momentum was like a rainbow. Even the newly armed peasant troops screamed like hungry wolves.
Looking at my side, many legions are still busy capturing prisoners, and their military strength is not as good as the other party. Although they are well-trained armies, it is obviously impossible to defeat the Egyptians in this battle.
"Report~"
At this moment, someone came hurriedly on a horse behind him.
"The Persian army attacked Baghdad, and the Mesopotamia was in danger. Please support~"
“Retreat ~”
Even if Selim was unwilling to give up, he would have to order his retreat at this time.
Once the Persians occupy the Mesopotamian Basin and cut off their retreat at that time, they may be finished. Moreover, if Egypt did not defeat it and threw it away, even if he went down to Damascus this time, he would probably have no face to return to Istanbul.
“Haha~”
"The other party retreated~"
Through the telescope, Kansu II immediately shouted excitedly.
Faced with the powerful soldiers of the Ottoman Empire and the betrayal of Karavin and Dur, he withstood the huge pressure, and the musketeers in his hand lived up to his expectations and turned the situation around at a critical moment.
Otherwise, in this battle, not only will he die without a burial place, but Egypt will also fall into the hands of the Ottoman Empire in the future.
"Fortunately, I spent a lot of money to build these 30,000 musketeers. The things from the Ming people are really expensive, but the quality is really not worth mentioning."
"No wonder the Ottoman Empire could be defeated by 200,000 troops, and the 600,000 troops were attacked by the Ming Dynasty, and it also showed a one-sided massacre. The era of cold weapons is about to end."
Kansu II was really very glad that he spent a huge price to build this ace musketeer, otherwise he would be really finished today.
"Great Your Majesty, should we pursue them?"
Some ministers were overjoyed and were planning to surrender. Who knew that the musketeers in Kansu II's hands were so sharp. They not only destroyed the opponent's cavalry, but also crushed the musketeers of the Ottoman Empire with fearless courage and reversed the situation.
"Report~"
While Kansu II was hesitating whether to pursue him, someone hurried to report the news behind him.
"After the Spanish fleet attacked our Alexandria and occupied Alexandria, it announced the establishment of colonial rule in Alexandria!"
"What?"
When Kansu II heard this, he was shocked.
He transferred all the troops in the country to the east to fight the Ottoman army. Who knew that at this critical moment, the Spaniards actually captured Alexandria.
What makes people even more angry is that Spain does not regard Egypt as a powerful country at all, but as the places on the coast of West Africa, where they can plunder and colonize barbarians.
"It's too much to deceive people~ it's too much to deceive people~"
Kansu II was extremely angry.
The Ming Empire was even more courteous to Egypt, and it was a good friend relationship with Egypt. Even though it was attracted by the value of the Egyptian canal, it did not say that it would invade Egypt, but instead worked together with Egypt to develop it.
What is Spain? It completely ignores the ancient Egypt and regards Egypt as a barbarian, has no power, and where to declare colonial rule in the capture of Alexandria. This is a barbaric and does not take Egypt into consideration.
"Retreat ~"
Kansu II thought about it and decisively issued an order to withdraw his troops.
He was ambitious and wanted to expand everywhere, but the Ottoman Empire came to invade himself, but Spain actually came to stab himself in the back, and he did not take Egypt into consideration at all.
Such humiliation was unacceptable and intolerable by Kansu II.
He knew that he had to use a big victory to establish Egypt's international status, otherwise the wolves from all directions would think of chewing a piece of meat from Egypt in the future.
Today is Alexandria, tomorrow may be Said Port, and the day after tomorrow may be Cairo.
