Conquer the Dawn of Heaven

When the figure of the Anatolian light cavalry appeared in front of the position, the hearts of all Montina soldiers who saw them were tense.

The prestige of the Ottoman Light Cavalry is far from town, and what is more terrible is their skillful cooperation with infantry.

Many of the armies that have fought against Ottoman are not impressed by how powerful their soldiers are, but the skillful use and nearly perfect coordination of the various arms by the Ottoman generals.

When the Anatolian light cavalry hits the enemy position, their light infantry will follow the cavalry. When the cavalry breaks through the enemy formation, the light infantry will immediately and decisively pour into the cavalry. The gap stabilized the situation, and then Ottoman's heavy infantry swarmed to expand the results.

This tactic doesn't seem to have anything brilliant, but because of the brave impact of the Anatolian light cavalry as a guarantee, Ottoman often only needs to master the rhythm of the cooperation between the infantry and the cavalry, then the They can often quickly break through the enemy formation, and then eat up the divided enemies piece by piece.

The cavalry figure in front approached quickly, and the roar of horseshoes trampled on the ground struck everyone's heart.

A whistle was heard one after another, and the musketeers raised their weapons in succession.

All Musketeers were arranged in the first row as far as possible. The dense guns with almost no gaps looked from the side like a thick branch protruding from the forest.

Musketeers knew that at the speed of Anatolian light cavalry, they would not be given a chance to shoot a second shot.

The spearmen stared at the front of their heads with sweat, and there was enough space between them to pass through. This was for the musketeers to withdraw, but in this way, the original very tight phalanx It becomes sparse, and if you cannot quickly form a dense formation against the enemy cavalry after the musketeers retreat, then waiting for them is the doom that the Ottoman cavalry tramples on.

In the corners of the various phalanxes, shooting teams composed of several heavy muskets are also extremely nervously waiting. These heavy musketeers will follow the phalanx together to face the impact of the Ottoman cavalry, and their task is to fight those The enemy who tried to break through the square formation with a dense formation.

"Fire!"

An almost indistinguishable order sounded from all parts of the front, and with the order, a violent gunshot burst out of the Montina Army's front!

The sudden sound of gunfire was oncoming, which made the Ottoman cavalry rushing to the front seem to have a meal in a moment, but they did not wait for them to react, accompanied by the sound of the gun, even faster than the sound of the gun, the sharp whistling Barrage.

Many of the cavalry rushing to the front seemed to hit the invisible wall, some were slammed down from the horse, and some suddenly fell forward along with the horses that were hit.

The bullets flew around the crowd, and sometimes even without a person's armor pierced, they were flicked and flew in other directions until they finally hit someone or a horse.

The Ottoman cavalry ran ahead because of this violent blow, but the people behind did not stop. They screamed through the gap between their companions and shoved the horses that had lost their masters. Rush forward desperately.

Musketeers immediately retreated backwards through the gap left by the spearmen after firing the first row of bullets. Their speed was very fast. All muskets were used to standing in front of them. This was to reduce the possibility of retreating. Because the gun caught the passing person causing obstruction.

The spearmen shouted nonstop, they were urging the musketeers.

Spearmen are generally more or less dissatisfied with those gorgeously dressed musketeers. From their point of view, these will only use firearms to shoot from a distance. Once the enemy is close, they will hide in the phalanx to seek protection, and then shoot cold shots. Musketeers are annoying guys, especially when they have to face enemies like the Ottoman cavalry, the spearmen are even more disdainful to the musketeers' mother-in-law.

As the last Musketeer turned into formation, the gaps left by the Spearmen quickly closed behind him, and before the Montina army had completely gathered, the Ottoman Light Cavalry had rushed to the front.

The sharp spear was aimed at the enemy who was in front of him, and a second command came from Alexander ’s phalanx named “Agri phalanx”: “Fire!”

A dull gunshot sounded, unlike the light musket, the gunshot of the heavy musket was like the nasal sound of a bison, and the huge dull sound seemed to come from the ground.

A dark thing flew from the side towards the cavalry rushing to the front, and the sound of tearing flesh and metal colliding with each other surrounded the soldiers.

The body of an Ottoman cavalry kept rolling forward. He was thrown out by his warhorse. When his rolling body finally stopped, there was no more noise.

And a spearman who was not far in front of him saw the Ottoman's face in a stunned blackness. It was obvious that he had been shot by a heavy musket before he fell off.

However, the short blockage caused by the heavy rifle did not stop the Ottoman cavalry's charge. Just before the gunshots had completely disappeared, the cavalry that had followed had swooped into the phalanx.

The chilling sounds of slamming each other and slashing the flesh spread across the position instantly. The trenches and low walls that the Montina army relied on made the Ottoman cavalry have to slow down when they finally rushed into the enemy formation. At the same time, the Montina army hiding behind the fortification surged desperately in the slight pause of the Ottomans.

The **** battle between the two sides began before the fortification. The rough fences hurriedly built and the trenches dug to only half of the people became the only reliance of the Montina, and these seemingly insignificant obstacles were just for the Ottomans. They are terrible tools that pose a great threat.

The crimson figure appeared faintly again. It was the musketeers who were quickly turning their direction in the spear phalanx. They were crowded into the gaps of the spearmen. Some people squatted down and some were raised high from the spears. Muskets, they are looking for opportunities to aim at the enemies who are rushing over. When they see the Ottoman figure, they immediately shoot without hesitation, so they do n’t care if they are shot.

"The scary thing about the Ottoman cavalry is that they can quickly create a gap for the infantry, so if you can, you must disrupt the steps of the Ottoman cavalry attack at the beginning."

This was Alexander ’s order to all officers on the first day. Although he speculated that the Ottomans might launch an attack from the connection between the two ends of the front line, but in case he still gave a common order to all officers, then Once the main direction of the Ottomans is determined, all the troops on the entire front will gather in the direction of the enemy's attack without hesitation!

This was obviously a very risky move. When he heard the order, Alexander clearly saw the hesitation and the Pisa's hesitation revealed by the Genoese officers.

"Don't try to leave the position, that's what the Ottomans wanted us to do," Alexander explained to his officers. "They want to drive us out of the position, and then keep attacking on our retreat until we are completely Destroy, this is called destroying the enemy in the movement, so the only thing we can do now is to hold our ground. "

When he said this to the officers, Alexander could feel that a pessimistic atmosphere was brewing among the officers, but it was the Balkans, who had just suffered a lot of casualties, but still maintained a rare enthusiasm. This even made Alexander feel a little strange about their inexplicable fighting will.

The battle continued, and the pressure on the front and back of the front was so strong from the beginning. Even at the moment of the initial impact of the Ottoman cavalry, Alexander had begun to doubt whether the Agri phalanx could resist the enemy's attack.

Putting the most elite troops in the key areas that played a decisive role in the battle, Alexander meditated on the essence of a future French **** of war on the guidance of the battle, although he knew he was clearly incomparable to the name that swept Europe. , But it is not difficult to judge the Ottoman intentions at this time.

So, shouldn't we just implement another famous quote from the God of War?

Alexander hesitated a little.

Xi Sugu looked at the Anatolian light cavalry who continued to retreat forward and then continued to strike the enemy position, his heavy eyebrows slightly wrinkled.

The power of cavalry lies in impact, impact on enemy formations, impact on enemy positions, and containment and mutual impact with enemy cavalry.

The cavalry who loses speed and maneuver will obviously lose power. If there is any accident, perhaps the results of a cavalry charge may not be more cost-effective than their own casualties.

The defense of Montina ’s army was more difficult than Xi Sugu ’s expectation. From long-range muskets to close-range spear phalanx, Xi Sugu felt that Montina ’s army seemed to exist to restrain his Anatolian cavalry.

Despite knowing that this idea is absurd, so far the light cavalry have not opened the situation as smoothly as he envisioned.

It is obviously not cost-effective to let the cavalry and the enemy stick together. Xi Sugu thought about it and decided not to delay.

He whispered to the messengers around him, and when he saw a torrent of armored cavalry passing in front of him, Xi Sugu shook his head slightly.

He did not expect that the enemy on the opposite side was so difficult to deal with, which reminded him of the Mamluks he had encountered in Egypt before.

Xi Sugu once went to Egypt with a large Vizier, although his later experience did not make him happy, but at least in that expedition, the Sudanese army still achieved a brilliant record.

It ’s just that the European army in front of him reminded him of those Mamluks, and he still remembered that his general as a large Vizier had to send Ottomans to use them to deal with those Mamluk cavalry. Heavy cavalry.

Ottoman light cavalry is world-famous, but this does not mean that they do not have heavy cavalry.

On the contrary, although the Ottoman Empire is not as extreme as the French cavalry, it completely wraps itself and the war horse into a moving iron pot, but the Ottoman heavy armored cavalry is also fully equipped.

More importantly, the heavy armored cavalry who got their own land from the Sudan or the governor also have similar status as Western knights.

Now Xi Sugu is sending these heavy armored cavalry.

The heavy smoke and dust accompanied by the heavy horseshoe sound, before the appearance of a chilling atmosphere enveloped the battlefield.

The soldiers of Montina suddenly found that the Anatolian light cavalry in front was moving quickly to both sides, which made the heavy musketeers on the side of the phalanx could n’t help but get nervous. They did n’t know if the enemy was going to attack themselves. As the heavy musketeers began to retreat slowly behind the phalanx, they heard the rumbling sound of the ground shaking.

"stop!"

A musketeer yelled at his companion. The musketeer who had fought in the outskirts of Rome remembered what this familiar sound came from, but he didn't wait for him to warn others. From the thick smoke, it was dark Almost the figure has been rushing to the position of Montina like a wave of mountains and rivers.

"Heavy cavalry, heavy cavalry!"

The first to see clearly shouted in desperation, but their voice was covered by the roar of the horseshoes of the enemy, and then more and more heavy cavalry figures appeared in front of the Montina army, and then Crazy shouts and terrible clashes, the Ottoman heavy cavalry had rushed into the front of the Montina position.

Suddenly, the tight square was like a piece of soft fat that could not help but swing back and forth, the screams and the break of the weapon, the stepping of the horseshoe and the audible short gunshots, the whole position was completely chaotic A set.

The heavy cavalry rushed forward crazy, slashing and killing. Their heavy sabre, which was much heavier than the ordinary cavalry, lifted up strongly and then swayed down. After cutting the enemy in desperate cries in front of him, The huge horseshoe of the Arabian warhorse immediately kicked out the torn enemy's body fiercely, and then, under the urging of the master, the horse snorted and continued to run forward.

There was a sound of gunfire, and the heavy cavalry immediately made a "bang bang" sound. The sound of the projectile shooting on the armor was creepy, but this time, not much was hit by the falling horse, and the heavy and sturdy armor blocked Most of the bullets have been dropped, which makes the heavy cavalry's attack speed suddenly slow, but it has not completely blocked their pace of continued attack.

The saber was still raised, and the blood splashed under the knife was sprayed everywhere. At the same time, the light cavalry who immediately followed the heavy cavalry also re-entered the battle. Although they were not large along the Agri phalanx, they were shaken by the impact The gap that had appeared quickly penetrated into the depth of the Montina position.

"Sir, the Ottomans are breaking through our position. They are making a breakthrough in depth," an officer hurriedly reported to Alexander. "The central Agri phalanx is in danger of being surrounded by the enemy."

"Has the Ottoman light cavalry already dispatched?" Alexander's face was slightly gloomy. What he really worried about at this time was whether the Ottomans had other plans. By this time, he had to consider whether he could force the Bucharest to send troops. Support, but how to successfully retreat from the Ottomans.

But before that, he needs to know whether the enemy has put all his troops into the battlefield.

Because this means that once an order is given, there is no room for change.

"Sorry, we don't know," the officer did not know whether it was nervous or because of the hot sweat. "We saw several flags belonging to the Anatolian light cavalry, and the heavy cavalry they rubbed in. There may be more than a hundred people. "

"Has enough heavy cavalry been put in?" Alexander stared closely at the central front. His look didn't change much, only he knew his lips were sore because his chin was too tight.

What should I do?

At this moment, Alexander repeatedly asked himself if he gathered to the center, he could quickly encircle once the enemy had enough troops, but if he did not concentrate his troops, he would be in danger of being completely divided.

After the battle begins, the determined determination will be carried out resolutely and decisively, and will not be easily shaken for various reasons.

Alexander meditated on this seemingly incomprehensible sentence, but he had to admit that he really understood it at this time. It is such a simple sentence, how hard it is to really do it.

"Order all the troops to build up to the central phalanx, especially the left-wing troops, and let them move closer to the position along the Danube bank."

"Sir, then we might be surrounded by the whole army!" Someone reminded anxiously that the officers looked at Alexander's eyes and expressed concern. They began to worry that Alexander was confused because of the harsh situation.

"According to my orders." Alexander sighed secretly. He really regretted sending Gompati out at this time, or it would be better if Alfrei was by his side.

The front of the Montina army began to move.

At the beginning, Xi Sugu did not notice this change. All his attention was focused on the central position. Although he knew that even the enemies in front of him would eventually miraculously escape, it would have no major impact on this expedition, but Xi Sugu did not I hope this kind of thing happens in my own hands.

So he was not much easier than his enemies at this time, so that when the men reported to him that the entire front of the Montina army began to move closer to the center, Xi Sugu was slightly fascinated for a while.

Then he exhaled with relief.

"Finally moved." The beard on Xi Sugu's lips slightly tilted. Although he felt that the enemy on the opposite side was really difficult, the battle could now be developed according to his intentions, which made Xi Sugu feel a little tired.

Since the enemy refused to leave their positions, they were forced to give up their wings.

It was this opportunity that Xi Sugu had been waiting for. He was waiting for the enemy general to eventually have to gather his troops to the center.

"Tell us that the light cavalry can attack."

Xi Sugu looked back behind him, there was a light cavalry who had never been involved in the battle, and that was the last method he used to encircle the enemy.

When the Ottoman light cavalry figure appeared on the far side of the right wing of the Montina army, Alexander heard a desperate whisper from the people around him.

At the same time, Busaco also made a gesture to the surrounding guards secretly.

"Busak," Alexander yelled softly, hearing the absent response of the captain behind him, he shook his head helplessly. "I said it before ~ ​​www.wuxiaspot.com ~ Either win from here to glory, or Just die here, there is no third way. "

Alexander said and looked up at the sky.

The sun has not risen above the head, and the day is still very long.

"The Ottomans should have put all their strength into it," Alexander turned back and pulled the saber and musket from Pagasus' saddle and hung it around his waist, then he whispered "Ready to fight."

After the battle begins, the determined determination will be carried out resolutely and decisively, and will not be easily shaken for various reasons.

Alexander meditation on this sentence in his heart, then he nodded slightly to the messenger around him.

The horn sounded, and the hunting guards who had been waiting in line behind the hills began to enter the position.

Resolutely and decisively execute the determined determination!

The Hunting Guard, the last force of Montina ’s army, was fully engaged in the battle at noon.
