I Am the Grandson of the Second Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, Earning 100 Million Taels at the Beginn

Chapter 367 Great Allah, when will the west get rid of the oppression of the east?
"Sir, sir, enemy cavalry, here comes the enemy cavalry."

The Ottoman cavalry had just moved and was pointing at the retreating soldiers. The commander of the fat Roco kingdom who was yelling at him broke out in a cold sweat from what the adjutant said.

He turned his head and glanced in the direction pointed by the adjutant, his face changed instantly, and he screamed:
"Hurry up, hurry up...protect the cannon, form a hollow phalanx, form a hollow phalanx!"

It can be considered that this guy has a bit of a brain. He still remembers when Da Ming's instructor taught them to form a hollow phalanx when facing cavalry.

Fatty reacted, but the problem was that the soldiers under him didn't react.

In addition, his artillery is lined up, and if the infantry formation wants to form a hollow square, it must form a large circle.

The cavalry of the Ottoman Empire was very fast. When the army of the Roco Kingdom was desperately preparing to form a hollow phalanx, they had already reached the front of the Roco Kingdom's formation.

The number of cavalry brought by Ochben this time is not large, only 2000 cavalry.

Although there are only 2000 people, the lethality brought by the enemy is not trivial.

"Knights, charge!"

His Highness gave him trust and rights, and he must give the greatest return.

But the Ottoman Cavalry Legion did not stop, and the death of their teammates made their speed increase a little more.

In other words, the armies of both sides are now within the range of Daming's artillery.

He likes to train low-level generals very much, and has declared to the outside world more than once that if only a few simple answers can give the empire an additional general with outstanding ability, he does not recommend chatting with the other party for three days and three nights.

At this moment, he remembered Zheng He's explanation to him.

The officer lowered his head, thought for a moment, looked at Ochben and asked in a low voice, "If you were standing opposite, General, would you give this order?"

But the front has been dispersed by the opponent, and there are soldiers fleeing and retreating everywhere. The cavalry can't charge up at all when they care about their own people. They can only watch the cavalry on the opposite side, fighting everywhere in their own army formation. .

If he could do this before Ming Dynasty launched the war, then Qi Yuan would become the most famous general in the history of China.

The fat man pointed at the city wall and cursed, cursing the Ming army to die.

It's not that the fat commander of the Roco Kingdom didn't think about letting his own cavalry drive them away.

This is not bragging, but really no one surpassed him.

Thinking of going down in history and becoming the most famous person in China's famous general list, Qi Yuan's fiery heart almost boiled. (Note: It is the most famous, not No.1!)

In order to better protect Jerusalem, Qi Yuan borrowed 20 cannons from the navy when he rushed over from the canal, so now he has a total of 50 cannons in his hands.

Sa Xuer, who was beside him, suddenly turned his head to look at Qi Yuan, and opened his mouth to say that the allied army was still there, and that the artillery would hurt his own people.

This kind of subordinate questioning the commander's order is a big taboo in the army. If it is a harsh general or a general with a bad temper, when dealing with such a person who questions his order, the light one will be whipped, and the severe one will be pulled out and beheaded. possible.

"Turn into?"

He casually picked up the military cap that was put aside and put it on his head. Qi Yuan stretched out his hand and patted the dust on the military uniform, and said to the silent Sa Xu'er: "I don't understand what they say, and Sa Xu'er will come next." Your lord, go and receive them."

When the commander gave the order to charge, the Ottoman cavalry raised all kinds of soldiers in their hands and roared loudly.

In an instant, the Roco Kingdom Legion whose morale had dropped to freezing point collapsed instantly.

Ottoman camp at night.

These officers who rely on their relationships to flatter their ranks looked at the black cavalry rushing towards them, terrified like ducks caught by the neck, and kept pointing at the cavalry in the distance, pulling the flintlock guns that had no bullets in their hands. Shouting to the soldiers to shoot quickly.

"Prepare!"

"Do you think, if it were you, would you destroy those equipment without hesitation, including your own allies?"

"kill!"

On the city wall of Jerusalem, Qi Yuan, who saw the Rocco Legion about to be defeated through the binoculars, raised his hand slightly.

"In addition, I have some unfortunate news for you. The entire cavalry regiment has been wiped out."

"Damn it, these Daming people don't treat us Westerners as human beings at all!"

"I don't know, maybe an order like that might be given."

"Dirty dirt..."

The artillery equipped by the Marine Corps has a caliber of 85mm, which is not only light, but also has a very fast rate of fire.

"We need to dig out the defense line. Although these soldiers are not capable of combat, I guess they are definitely good at work."

After all, from ancient times to the present, which Chinese general was able to come to this place that the orientals had never set foot, and with only tens of thousands of native troops and 10,000+ remnants of defeated generals, he defeated another powerful empire.

Rubbing between his brows, Aoqi Benli smiled and looked at the officer.

"Bang bang bang..."

The officer was stunned for a moment, and he looked at Aoqibenli in confusion.

Since Aoqiben didn't know the range of Daming's artillery, he camped at the distance with the largest artillery range of his own side, which was less than eight miles away from Jerusalem.

"Damn, what are they doing, how do they attack their own people..."

The cavalry commander who rushed to the front let out a roar, and drove his horse into the air and knocked several soldiers of the Roco Kingdom into the air. The scimitar in his hand slashed fiercely on the neck of a Roco commander who turned around in fright and wanted to run away.

It is precisely because of his habit of cultivating subordinates that many excellent generals appeared in the army led by him. Of course, there are also some idiots who only object or ask questions.

Aoqi held his hands together against his forehead. After the officer finished speaking, he took a deep breath and gave the next order.

Ochibenli smiled slightly, and vetoed the officer's words: "You will not issue such an order, because you will not give up those equipment, and you dare not face the punishment and accountability that you will receive after hurting those allies."

"After all, if such an order is not issued, the equipment will fall into the hands of the enemy, and the so-called allies are likely to become the enemy's accomplices."

"Fire!"

Ochbenli nodded slightly, and added to the officer: "In addition to what you said, their soldiers are also very capable of execution, and the general opposite him has a very keen sense of war."

The adjutant next to him picked up the radio microphone and ordered loudly: "The commander is ordered to prepare!"

If you are a skilled artilleryman, you can fire 1-10 shells in one minute.

The 105-caliber artillery equipped by the Army has a range of about 20 miles, while the Marine Corps pays attention to lightness and is equipped with 85-caliber artillery with a range of [-] to [-] miles.

With a "boom", the blood mist filled the air. The commander of the Roco Kingdom Legion, who relied on flattery, was very honored not to accept their king's punishment, and left this world cleanly and without leaving a trace.

The regiment led by Qi Yuan has a new artillery battalion with a total of 30 new artillery pieces.

Although they retreated another 10 miles the next day after the night attack, they returned to the original camp when the Roco Kingdom army launched a provocation.

A burst of intermittent gunshots sounded, and a dozen unlucky cavalrymen became the first casualties of the cavalry corps.

The speed of the cavalry is so fast, the distance of tens of meters can be reached in the blink of an eye.

They've already dodged the first round of fire, and if they're fast enough, the enemy won't have a chance for a second shot.

"Notify everyone except the rear army to attack!"

Looking at the battlefield shrouded in artillery, Aoqibenli threw his hat on the ground angrily.

"What do you think of Daming's strength?"

"Fire, fire, kill 'em, kill 'em!"

Not daring to look at the battlefield covered by artillery, Ochbenli knelt on the ground and asked the great Allah a question that even Allah could not answer.

"Kill... ho ho ho ho!"

The first batch of fat officers who fled in embarrassment roared angrily as they watched the shells raining down on them.

It was no challenge for him to defend the canal and the city of Jerusalem.

"Your Excellency, General, our infantry killed 6273 people and injured 7356 in today's battle. One-third of them may not be able to be rescued."

"Also, we have communicated with the Ming army. They promised us that we can collect the corpses, but the equipment is not allowed to be taken away."

In Ochiben commanded on the sand dunes, he saw that his own cavalry had rushed into the enemy's phalanx, disrupted the enemy's formation, and coldly issued an order for a full-scale attack.

Without Zhu Zhangui, Qi Yuan might have served in the Japanese army for the rest of his life, until the day he died of old age in obscurity.

In today's battle, the casualties were not large at the beginning, so many casualties were completely caused by the shelling from behind the Ming army.

Columns of dust rose into the air one by one, and the shrapnel driven by the power attached to the gunpowder explosion frantically harvested lives.

"Boom boom boom..."

Blood spurted out, and the officer fell to the ground with a scream, and then was trampled by countless horseshoes, and after a few wailings, there was no sound.

Hate, anger, that's for sure.

Booming cannons resounded all over the city of Jerusalem, and the shells flying out of the cannon bores spun in the air, making sharp roars, and smashed towards the densely packed battlefield like an ant colony in the distance.

The shelling lasted for half an hour, and Qi Yuan gave the order to stop until the Ottoman army withdrew from the firing range.

The commander who led the team looked at the Rocco army firing guns at them in a panic, with a ferocious light flashing in their eyes, waving the scimitar in their hands and roaring loudly.

"Almighty God, when will I be able to get rid of the threat of oppression from the damn Easterners!"

But Ochben was not angry.

If Zhu Zhangui had known Qi Yuan's thoughts, he would have lamented that Daming does not lack capable generals, but only lacks a stage to display them.

After everything was ready, everyone quietly waited for the order to shoot.

Familiar with flintlock guns, they know that facing a cavalry charge, if there is no line infantry in a good formation, they only have one or two chances to shoot.

He wanted to break the tough bones to see if he could disable the main force of the Ottoman Empire before Da Ming launched the war.

near, near...

"Roar!"

But what's the use of this, the strength is not as good as human beings, so I can only smash my teeth and swallow it in my stomach.

In the camp in Aoqibenli, an officer reported today's casualties, and by the way, talked about the communication with the Ming army.

"I see, let the legion rest for the night, and tomorrow we will turn north!"

But before he could say it, he was suppressed by Qi Yuan's cold eyes.

The officer thought for a moment, then shook his head.

Just when the Ottoman cavalry showed their power, more than 1 Ottoman infantry, armed with bayonet-mounted flintlock guns, or carrying various cold weapons, formed a neat array and screamed into the Rocco Legion.

The charge of the Ottoman cavalry was fierce, and the soldiers of the Rocco Legion who had not yet formed a hollow square were directly rushed out of a big gap.

Following Qi Yuan's order, the artillery positions placed in every corner of the city began to load shells and fix the shooting angle.

The order was conveyed, and a wave of Ottoman soldiers who hadn't had enough fighting just now took up their bayonet-mounted rifles, roared and launched a charge.

Seeing that this ally finally collapsed, Qi Yuan gave the order for the artillery to fire blankly.

One of the flying cannonballs seemed unable to stand the fat man's provocative yelling, and suddenly plunged down, hitting the fat man's body straight.

Although he ordered the army to retreat in an emergency, the cavalry regiment was trapped in it. He didn't know how many people would come back alive after this round of shelling.

Daming didn't kill a single person, and at least 7000 or [-] people were killed or injured by the opponent. Aoqiben was filled with humiliation and anger.

Whether it is a member of the Rocco Legion or a soldier of the Ottoman Empire, their identities are instantly equal at this moment.

It's a pity that his voice was drowned out by the whistling sound of the shells flying, Qi Yuan couldn't hear what he was shouting at all, let alone listen to what he shouted.

After so many years of improvement of Ming Dynasty's artillery, coupled with the change of gunpowder, the range has been greatly improved.

There are strict regulations in the Ming army. Once a commander is appointed, no one else, no matter what their status, is not allowed to intervene in the commander's combat command. Even the emperor and prince cannot interfere with the commander's combat. Iron law to obey.

On the other side roared loudly, while in the Rocco phalanx there was a scream.

Looking closely at history, it seems that he is really the only one.

The general hesitated and said, "Although we haven't fought against their army, their weapons and artillery are very powerful."

But he wasn't angry at all about it, as long as he could cultivate an excellent general, all his saliva and efforts would not be in vain.

Qi Yuan didn't look at the battlefield in the distance after speaking, turned around and left the city wall, went back to take a hot bath, and considered the next battle plan.

Even the infantry regiment that retreated early was also under the artillery attack of the opponent. The way of retreat was full of corpses. It is conservatively estimated that the casualties were at least 3000 to [-].

The soldiers no longer obeyed the officer's orders, and ignored the officer's threat, howling and throwing the equipment that got in the way on the ground, and fled to the city of Jerusalem in embarrassment.

"Your Excellency, didn't His Majesty the King tell us to capture Jerusalem, why did we turn north?"

"So I can conclude that you will never be able to be so resolute and decisive as the general on the opposite side."

The Ottoman cavalry was completely mad, charging madly in the Rocco army formation, no one could stop their footsteps.

Aoqi skill also fell into silence, and he shook his head after a long time.

"Maybe, but I also know that once I give such an order, it will be the last time I command the army to fight."

After finishing speaking, he pressed his hand at the officer, "Okay, although I don't want to admit it, the reality is that we don't have the confidence to take Jerusalem, and I don't even dare to make a decision about whether we can withstand the attack of thousands of people on the other side." ensure."

"So instead of wasting time here, it is better to go north to help His Majesty the King, defeat the main force of the Roco Kingdom as soon as possible, and then follow His Majesty to lead the main army here, swallow this city completely, and kill those hateful Ming people, those Damn invaders, drive them out of our homeland completely."
