The Struggle of the Reborn Prince

The Song army dug trenches and built bases around the camp, forming two semi-circular defense lines, with naval naval guns as long-range support, infantry artillery brigades as suppressed firepower, and infantry machine guns as backbone. And the Roma State

The heavy cavalry army was lowered into the village five miles away to trap the Song army in this narrow protruding part of the river bend. On the east coast, tens of thousands of light cavalrymen from the Roma Kingdom were descending on the shore and laying a wooden railing to prevent the Song army from entering.

Breakthrough on the shore.

The two armies faced each other for several days to consolidate their fronts. Although they had contact, there was no war. On a bright and starry night, more than ten Song army naval warships quietly left the port and leaned towards the east coast. More than 200 guns on the side suddenly used

Fierce artillery fire bombarded the camp of the Roma Kingdom, and the bomb fell like rain for a moment, and the camp was blown into a sea of ​​fire.

At the same time, the infantry artillery brigade also launched artillery bombardment at the cavalry camp in the Roma country that guarded the crossing bridge. The sudden artillery fire caused the sleeping cavalry to suffer heavy casualties and panic. The heavy cavalry of Atal took advantage of the situation to attack quickly

The enemy who defeated the bridge seized the ferry bridge, crossed the Tigerus River with the Dragon Cavalry Brigade, and attacked the Kerrman Army camp on the east bank. The Cavalry Brigade took a naval ship to cross the river from the downstream at night and walked around the river.

Behind the Kerman Army camp, an encirclement was formed with the other two armies.

Although the Kermann Kingdom was a franchise of the Great Seljuk Empire, it was in an independent state and was not directly ruled by the empire. When they received the order from the 'leader' Sanjar to go to Baghdad, they were not willing to do so.

But at this moment, the army that attacked the Black Khanate was stationed on its border. If it did not follow the tens of thousands of troops, it might have destroyed him first. After some bargaining, the Sultan of Kerman sent reinforcements, and

The army is no elite, most of which are slaves and criminals who work as coolies. Although there are many people, their combat effectiveness is not satisfactory. Therefore, the main force that went out to aid this time was the heavy cavalry of the Roma Kingdom, and they were just for auxiliary assistance.

status.

At this moment, the Kerman army was separated from the enemy by a river, and there were strong allies on the other side of the river. I never thought that they would be attacked by the enemy and their defense would naturally be relaxed. Therefore, the Kerman army was sleeping in the first round of artillery surprise attacks.

They suffered heavy losses. In the panic, they found that the enemy had crossed the river. At night, they vaguely saw how many people were, so they wanted to break through in the dark, but both shocks were blocked back.

The shelling continued. The Song army warships were like moving cannon groups on the river. They fired guns wherever there were many people. Countless Kerman soldiers turned into pieces during the shelling. After the crossing forces contracted and surrounded the circle in the early morning, they used burning.

The bullet burned the enemy camp. At this time, the Kerman army, who had been bombarded overnight, suffered heavy casualties and had no intention of fighting. The abandoned camp fled in a hurry. Li Quan, the leader, was worried that the enemy would jump over the wall and fight to the death, so he deliberately opened the net and let him escape. Then

The army then chased and killed.

Although the Kerman army broke out in the artillery attack was severely injured and injured, they still had the power to fight. After escaping the range of artillery fire, the generals of the leading army also wanted to gather the remaining troops back to fight again. However, the defeat was as if the army had fallen.

The extremely poor army had just escaped. They didn't obey the orders at all, and just wanted to stay away from this terrifying place. It was really like killing Buddha when encountering Buddha or killing god. I was afraid that Allah would be trampled on their way if he appeared to block their path.

In this case, the authority of the generals disappeared, either being swept away by the fleeing rioters or being killed by the rioters.

The Song army's Dragoons and the Brac bandits are best at quickly interspersing and detours. They follow the wings of the rioters. They seize the opportunity and insert the enemy group into a dense array, splitting and surrounding the brigade of enemies. The Hussels

They then rushed into the enemy group with unstoppable force. In this case, the enemy troops, which were already frightened, often collapsed with one blow, and the dragon cavalry took the opportunity to surround and kill the enemy and ate the enemy.

The west bank of the Tigerus River is the east bank of the Euphrates River. The two rivers are only sixty miles wide apart, and the narrowest part is only thirty miles. The Kermann army is like a trapped on a runway.

The wild buffalo was torn off the body piece by piece under the pursuit of the wolf pack. Even though he ran hard, it was difficult to get rid of the pursuit. Two days later, the wild bull had dried up his blood and meat, and he exhausted his last trace of strength and fell down.

Almost swallowed up by the wolf pack that was reluctant to leave...

While the Kerman army was bombarded, the Roma State also launched an attack. They wanted to regain the bridge and restore the connection between the two armies, but they could not break through the bridge blocked by artillery fire. They watched the Song cavalry cross the river

Go to encircle friendly forces. But the Roma army also found that all the enemy cavalry crossed the river to encircle the Kerman army, and only the infantry defended the camp. This was a good time to attack, and at least it could force its cavalry to return to aid.

.Reduce the pressure on friendly forces.

Three Roma troops lined up to ten miles and launched a frontal attack on the Song army camp. Looking at the slowly approaching enemy Ma Wei was also a little nervous. Before the war, he was discussing with the generals how to defeat him suddenly.

When we arrived at the enemy reinforcements, everyone thought that it would be impossible to fight against enemy forces that were several times more powerful than ours, especially the heavy cavalry of the Roma Kingdom poses the greatest threat to them, although our cavalry has

It is difficult to gain an advantage in the battle with firearms, and even if they can win, they will win miserably.

This war of attrition is fatal to the expeditionary army that is far away from the local soldiers and is difficult to replenish. There is a strong city ahead waiting for them to capture. The loss of troops exceeds the general and directly leads to the failure of the expedition. Therefore, some people proposed to avoid the enemy's direct access to the water route.

Go north to Baghdad to attack the capital, but this idea was quickly denied. At this time, they were less than a hundred miles away from the imperial capital, and the speed of the ship was no longer as fast as the cavalry. Before they arrived in Baghdad, the enemy reinforcements had already arrived first, and they were hiding.

No open.

It is impossible to fight, can't hide, and can't escape, and the planned battle goals are completed. This is the time to test the commander of the first army. According to the battlefield situation, Ma Wei made a decision to annihilate the current enemy first and then march into the imperial capital.

Decision. Faced with the enemy with all the advantages, the Song army only relied on sharp firearms, and based on this, Ma Wei cleverly deployed the firepower configuration of its own troops:

On the one hand, it aims to fully promote the powerful power of naval warship artillery fire, place the camp within the range of naval guns, and provide strong fire cover for the infantry; on the other hand, it changes the tactics of using cavalry as the main body of combat, and takes steps

As the main force of this battle, the army used field fortifications to use defense as offense to consume the enemy's live power, and then used the cavalry to counterattack.

So Ma Wei arranged two defense lines in the infantry in a staging, repaired solid field fortifications, and communicated with traffic trenches between the defense lines, and could freely connect and support each other. The 10,000 infantry seemed weak on the ten-mile-long defense line, but

Its firepower cannot be underestimated. There is no need to say that a single bead gun is used. With the improvement of the machine gun and the expansion of production capacity, the weight of the four-barrel machine gun has been greatly reduced, and its portability has been greatly improved. It can be configured for the equipment.

This allows each infantry to form a fire support point at the center of machine guns, and the ship has a large load and strong transportation capacity, which can provide them with sufficient ammunition. There is no need to worry about insufficient ammunition, and it can be released. Nearly 1,000

The machine gun is fired at the same time, and thinking about the scene is enough to make people excited. And its terrifying lethality will be entangled by nightmares for the rest of their lives.

However, the enemy did not follow what Ma Wei thought. They actually divided their troops into two groups to encircle the expeditionary forces, which gave him a new opportunity. The two groups of enemies were across the river and connected only through a floating bridge. The Song army only needed to seize the floating bridge.

It could easily divide the enemy into two places. The Kerman army, who had no idea about the Song army's tactics, actually set foot in the river, giving him a good opportunity to exert the firepower of the navy warships. Ma Wei immediately changed his plan and decided to annihilate the enemy along the way.

But doing so also requires risks. The Song army is weak in strength, and the cavalry can't guarantee an advantage over the enemy who is hit by artillery fire. Forget the infantry, they can't catch up with both legs.

If you want to escape, the task of sticking to the camp can only be undertaken by the infantry and the Marines. As long as the enemy is not a fool, they will not be unable to see that it is also an opportunity for them at this moment...

Amid the rapid sound of war drums, hundreds of thousands of horse hooves hit the ground, and they could still be distinguished at first, but as the war horses began to accelerate, it was difficult to distinguish. The sound of thunderous hooves sounded into a point, and the earth was lifting up and falling and trembling.

It trembles, and the pressure generated by the heavy cavalry charge is simply suffocating.

"Target, enemy troops are facing horizontal lines, artillery fire is ready!" In the past, artillery soldiers quickly moved their positions after launch, but this time the artillery brigade could not retreat. They had to withstand the enemy's attack with the infantry, which made Qiao Laoer

He was also a little nervous. He stood in the car with a telescope and watched the approaching enemy wiping the sweat of his palms. He raised his left arm and raised it high to give a loud order. The messenger quickly whispered the flags and spoke to the wings arranged on his wings.

The artillery sent a signal.

"The mortar cannon flowering shells, fire continuously!"

"Speed-fire cannon, solid bullets, two rapid shots!" Qiao Laoer did not wait for the enemy to fully enter the range before firing before firing, but instead ordered the enemy cavalry to fire as soon as they entered the range.

Qiao Shijun knew very well that a hundred light artillery was arranged on such a long front with only a hundred and ten light artillery pieces of the artillery brigade, which was not enough to completely block the enemy's attack. Now the navy's warships were bombarding the Kerrman army camp on the west coast, and they could not worry about it for the time being.

Now, the artillery brigade can only be supported by the artillery brigade first. He knew that firing artillery now will not cause major casualties to the enemy, but it can reduce the impact speed of the enemy cavalry and thus alleviate the pressure on the front-line infantry. So he came overwhelmed by the overwhelming situation.

The enemy cavalry immediately ordered the artillery to fire and attack the opponent at a long distance, hoping to disrupt the enemy's attack rhythm.

Sure enough, although the artillery brigade opened fire first, their light artillery coverage density and lethality power could not completely suppress the fast-moving cavalry. Soon, the cavalry of the Roma Kingdom rushed to a place that was unwilling to leave the Song army's defense line...
