Chapter 821: The Decisive Battle on the Allah Plain (5)

The Ottoman muskets were established seventy years ago, in order to restrain the growing number of musket teams in European countries, in fact, the Ottoman Empire had a total of 40,000 musket teams, but most of them had to stay on the Western Front to defend against European countries.

Because of the frequent wars with the countries of Europe, it can be said that the experience of the Ottoman Empire's musketeers and the looting was extremely rich.

The firearms technology of the Ottoman Empire is not as good as that of European countries, whether it is their cannon or musket, if they want to have the same range and power as European countries, they can only sacrifice sensitivity and increase weight, so even if the range of the Ottoman musket is similar to the range and power of the arquebuses of European countries, the weight is much heavier, and the flexibility is often very low.

Of course, even so, the muskets of the Ottoman Empire can only be compared with the arquebuses of European countries, and they are not comparable to the flint guns that European countries have begun to equip on a large scale.

The historical Ottoman Empire began to decline in the next ten years, from the original offensive and defensive with European countries to evolve into a pure defensive position, one of the reasons is because of the emergence of flint teams in European countries, and the most advanced artillery in Europe is no longer a redcoat cannon, but a lighter cannon between more than 1,000 catties and 2,000 catties.

The effective lethality distance of the flint guns of the Qing army is nearly 130 meters, while the effective killing distance of the muskets of the Ottoman Empire musket team is only about 110 meters, which is less than 20 meters, which is almost an insurmountable death distance.

"Bang bang bang bang-----" The two musket teams collided, and the Qing army's flint guns opened fire first.

Immediately, a whole platoon of Ottoman musketeers fell.

After the shooting, the soldiers of the Qing Army Breaking Dragon Army immediately took out the paper shell bullet they carried with them, quickly bit out the lead bullet in the paper shell, and then poured the gunpowder in the paper shell into the barrel, and finally stuffed the lead bullet and continued to shoot!

The soldiers of the Qing Dragonbreaker Army, armed with flint guns and paper shells, fired at least twice as much as the Ottoman musketeers, and combined with the longer killing distance, the attacking Ottoman musketeers suffered heavy casualties at once.

The Ottoman muskets were not completely powerless to fight back, at least after paying a certain amount of casualties, it was no problem to break through a distance of twenty meters and include the soldiers of the Qing army's Dragon Breaker Army in the killing range.

"Bang bang ----" Finally, the Ottoman musket team fired at the Qing army's Dragon Breaker Army for the first time, knocking over more than 20 Qing Army Dragon Breaker soldiers at once.

However, the Ottoman muskets, which shot more slowly and did not have enough killing distance, ushered in a more fierce blow from the flint guns of the Qing army.

It took almost three or four Ottoman musketeers to kill a Qing Dragon Breaker soldier.

Getyivic's face is definitely not good-looking, this scene in front of him seems to be very different from the situation when he fought with the musket teams of European countries over the years, even if the muskets of European countries were also more advanced, but the proportion of casualties was at most one percent more than that of European countries, and it was by no means three or four times more than now! If this continues, even if his fifteen thousand musket team is exhausted, he will kill four or five thousand Qing musket teams at most, and he will not break through the defense and destroy the Qing army artillery inside.

Gatjivic's brows were only furrowed, and his heart was very depressed, even if he was a top celebrity, he couldn't think of any other way to break the game for a while.

On the other hand, the three hundred imitation Shenwu field cannons protected by the Qing Army's Dragon Breaking Army were still firing one after another.

-----When the last Ottoman cannon was also destroyed, the remaining Qing artillery of about 260 or so was completely liberated.

In addition to the 200 cannons that continued to bombard the Ottoman Heavy Armored Iron Shield Legion, more than 60 other guns were aimed at the Ottoman musketeers and the Ottoman ordinary legions.

"Boom!" More than thirty shells exploded in the Ottoman muskets, and all of them were flowering shells.

In an instant, a large number of Ottoman musketeers were blown away, and the three-stage formation was blown apart.

"Boom, boom, boom" Soon, another round of shells exploded in, and once again a large number -----of three-stage formations were disrupted, and the Ottoman musketeers were almost blown up.

Hiding in the Ottoman muskets, Getjevic was also swept to the ground by a blazing wave of cannonballs, and had to eat a mouthful of mud.

Gitjevic spat out the mud from his mouth fiercely, his face suddenly became even more ugly, and he suddenly felt that in this decisive battle, their Ottoman Empire did not seem to have the same advantage as he thought.

Yes, their Ottoman army is indeed 100,000 more than the Qing army, and they are all elite armies with armor, but the Qing army has an incomparably powerful artillery group! He had never seen such a powerful cannon swarm.

European countries are currently at war, although they also use a large number of cannons, they also use a large number of cannons in the Ottoman Empire, this time he attacked the Qing Kingdom, didn't he also bring more than 200 of the most advanced Ottoman cannons. However, the Great Qing Kingdom brought an unexpected 300 gates! No! The firepower of these 300 cannons is at least three times that of the European redcoat cannons, that is, it is equivalent to the power of 900 European redcoat cannons, plus the weight of the Qing cannons is obviously very light, and the muzzles can be adjusted extremely sensitively, and the overall power should be comparable to the redcoat cannons of thousands of European countries.

It was terrifying, and the power of such a fierce artillery fire was something he had never imagined!

That thought flashed in Gatyivich's mind again, the Manchus were obviously a people from nomadic tribes, why was the firearm technology so powerful, stronger than his Ottoman Empire, and even stronger than all European countries! God, can you tell your followers why this is happening?

"Marshal! Marshal! ”

An Ottoman general suddenly finds Gatjivić.

"Something's wrong!" Gitjevic looked at the general's urgent expression, and asked with a slight jump in his heart.

"Marshal, the Iron Cavalry Legion has been out of the main battlefield and is being besieged by a large number of Qing cavalry, and it has been a long time!" The general replied.

It turned out that the Ottoman Iron Cavalry Corps was lured to attack on the periphery of the main battlefield, and it also contained a large number of Qing cavalry, and many Ottoman generals suddenly showed this situation.

"What!" Gatjević was shocked, worthy of the famous Ottoman general, and he immediately gained insight into Dorgon's overall strategy.

"Dolgon intends to use the artillery group and a part of the soldiers left in place to attract the main force of our army, and he will concentrate the superior cavalry to annihilate my iron cavalry army first, so that I will completely lose mobility, this strategy is good!" Gatjevic gritted his teeth.
