The Last Frontier of Fire and Sword

At the forefront were the Crimean slave soldiers. These Tatars only wore robes and felt hats. Their only armor was a simple shield. These cannon fodder charge and throw bows and arrows into the carriage. Unfortunately, their bows are mostly shoddy. They cannot penetrate the inferior breastplates of mercenaries at medium and long distances. They can only cause damage at very close distances, and Hessian The mercenary's musket can penetrate 2-3 enemies at close range.

"God Juan Keba!"

Although the equipment is simple, these Crimean slave soldiers rushed under the carriage with extremely high religious enthusiasm and fearless death. They threw away their bows and arrows, bit a simple tatar saber in their mouths, and climbed up with their hands. The carriage comes.

The musketeers on the carriage put down their muskets. They severely chopped the hands on the carriage with the axe and page hammer. The musketeers also stab the enemy outside through the triangular firing openings on the baffle of the carriage.

From time to time, Crimean slaves who had broken their palms and were stabbed to death fell to the ground like sacks, but the slaves behind them stepped on their companion’s body and continued to climb. The body was piled up half a person in front of the carriage. Slowly, the Crimean slave soldiers in front of several carriages stepped on their bodies and were able to jump into the carriage with their hands.

"Hand cannon, hand cannon!" Corsson shouted, standing on a carriage. He waved his halberd with both hands and cut the heads of two outcropping Crimean slave soldiers in half.

Upon hearing the order, the mercenaries between the chains of the carriage aimed the loaded hand cannon at the enemy outside. Dozens of lead bullets were ejected from each hand cannon, and the firepower immediately swept across the area in front of them, and all the shots were fragmented.

This terrible death shocked the living slaves, or awakened them from religious fanaticism. When they discovered that God could not protect themselves from these pagans, the slave soldiers collapsed.

I don't know who screamed, and then more and more slave soldiers screamed. They threw their shields, sabers, bows, and arrows to the ground and all fled.

The pikemen on the carriage leaned out, and they used their halberds to overturn the layers of corpses in front of the carriage so as not to be used by the Tatars.

"Your Majesty, we are victorious." Corsson returned to Christina's side, and excitedly asked her for credit.

But Christina's face was not happy, the former queen just stared at somewhere in the dark ahead.

Ahhum Mirza (Mirza refers to a noble man with a fief in a glorious family, meaning a little prince. Generally speaking, it can be called Mirza, and it must be born out of a pitiful family, a duo stubbornness, and an arrogance. Descendants of Mongolian noble families such as Lasi, Chu Lasi, Hongji La, Zara Yi'er.) Riding on a horse, hundreds of Crimean garrisons stood behind him.

The Crimean garrison is the only arm of the Crimean Khanate that uses muskets. Because Crimea cannot mass produce muskets and gunpowder, the muskets are precious among the Tatars. They not only enjoy higher For his salary, he also has precious chain armor as a bodyguard. And this is a treatment that even some melee soldiers don't have.

Ahommirza turned a blind eye to the Crimean slave soldiers who had retreated to his mount. These humble slave soldiers were his tools to test the enemy. Ahommir also stared at somewhere in the dark, because his sixth sense like a prairie eagle felt a gaze from the dark—a gaze full of war.

"If you want to fight, fight!"

At the thought of Genghis Khan’s famous saying, Ahommir was full of enthusiasm. He only made a gesture, and the standard-bearer next to him understood.

I saw the flag bearer blew the huge conch, the two teams of Crimean Zasak cavalry and the regrouped Crimean heavy cavalry scattered towards the two wings, while the garrison marched forward in neat steps.

The loud sound of spirals and footsteps naturally attracted the attention of the Hessian mercenaries, who were waiting to face the enemy's third attack.

The Crimean garrison fired before the Hessian mercenaries. The wood chips that the matchlock bullet hit on the baffle of the carriage flew horizontally, and occasionally sparked a trace of sparks. It was the bullet that hit the iron sheet on the baffle.

The mercenaries under the continuous sound of gunfire could not raise their heads. But soon, they figured out the doorway-these Crimean musketeers didn't shoot volleys, they just fired on their own skills. This hit rate is extremely low, and it's as difficult to shoot as it is to win a lottery.

The gunfire went on for more than half an hour, and the Tatars showed no signs of attack. The mercenaries were no longer afraid. They even put a Taylor on the triangular firing port to bet whether the bullets of the Crimean garrison could hit Taylor.

The only people who remained awake at this time were Christina and Corsson. The two never believed that the Tatar commander would just shoot wasted bullets and gunpowder aimlessly.

Just in case, Christina ordered the soldiers to throw triangle nails at the outside of the carriage.

The triangle nail is composed of four metal tips, three of which are on the ground and the other is upward.

The main purpose of the triangular nail design is to damage the horse's hoof and the foot of the soldier, so as to stop and delay the advancing enemy army and provide early warning. As long as a small number of triangular nails are scattered and placed in a certain area ~www.readwn.com~, the enemy may be recruited from this, which has never met the purpose of defense.

Sure enough, more than ten minutes later, screams came from the two wings of the carriage defense line.

It turns out that this is indeed a trick of Ahommir. He made the cavalry circle a large circle to the two wings of the mercenary regiment's defense line, dismounted at a longer distance, relied on the cover of musket sound to get close to the carriage, and then relied on the advantages of equipment and quantity to charge on foot.

But this trick was cracked by Christina. The attacking Crimean knights saw no chance of a sneak attack, so they could only move forward with intensive firepower in the carriage. Many lightly armed Zasak cavalry were shot into sieves or fell to the ground and were nailed to death by triangles.

But in any case, relying on the advantages of equipment, the Cavaliers finally rushed to the car formation after paying a heavy price to prepare for their best hand-to-hand combat.

Crimean heavy-armored knights have trained spear and sword skills since childhood, and are good at foot combat. In addition, they come from a nomadic family. They are born with a body suitable for riding and shooting. After the training is completed, everyone is an excellent knight. When it comes to confrontation with individual soldiers, it is possible to fight back and forth with Polish wing cavalry, Swedish pistol cavalry, and Tsarist Russian Boyer cavalry.

But the carriage played an important role here again. The halberd and pikemen stood on the vehicle condescendingly and smashed and stabbed them with long-rod weapons. When the Crimean heavy cavalry reluctantly held up a steel shield to protect his face and climbed onto the chariot, the mercenary regiment’s The Musketeers again drew out short swords and page hammers to resist desperately. When a tank is in a hurry, the tank next to it will immediately provide fire support. At such a close distance, both pistols and arquebuses can penetrate the armor with one blow.

This time the fierce battle was particularly tragic. The two sides fought from dark to early morning, and even Christina went into battle with a sword. Finally, the Crimean heavy cavalry began to lose support.
