After the whole team approached to an extremely close distance of less than 100 paces, in order to save valuable high-grade ammunition to the greatest extent and to avoid unnecessary casualties and risks in close combat, the main force that continued to carry out continuous firepower output was replaced by Baotou Steel front-loading medium field guns as the main firepower.

After solving the effective source of saltpeter, the power of black powder was increased and the waste heat was reduced a lot. The new guns, made of iron and high-grade steel with excellent performance, have also greatly improved their firepower efficiency compared with the previous ones. The 180-kilogram body tube can launch more than 300 projectiles of up and down 50 grams at two-thirds the speed of sound when deploying the ultimate medium-sized shotgun firepower, and it is difficult for most individual guards in this era to effectively resist. At the same time, it can also allow these shotguns to conditionally form some ricochets and carry out secondary kills.

When approaching a relatively close distance from the opponent and effectively firing from the side between the artillery fire, almost every round of fire can cause the enemy troops of about two or three thousand to suffer heavy casualties under the continuous blows.

The heavy shelling lasted only about a quarter of an hour, and with the entire army suffering more than forty percent casualties, Murdra Forty knew that at this time, if he did not make a desperate bet, the slightest vitality of the entire Ottoman Empire might suffer great trauma. In this case, the Ottoman army in the fortifications also launched a number of dying struggles at this time.

Because the distance of the impact does not seem to be too far, it seems to give a lot of hope to a very large extent. One after another, people launched an assault under the cover of the thrown bows and arrows and even the blows of firearms raised overhead.

However, every time the crowd of people in the fortifications poured out through the special passages, they were met with a continuous burst of fire, which made them seem to fall down as if they had been cut wheat.

At this time, the Safavid army still had a living force of about 70,000 or 80,000 men, and under normal logic and circumstances, when the main force of the enemy seemed to have completely turned to the Ottomans, as a friendly army, it was necessary to seize the opportunity to quickly launch a full-scale attack from the other direction, but at this time. In the end, the Safavid army was not able to make up its mind to continue the attack. The terrifying firepower that had been before began to completely disappoint many people.

The successive Ottoman counteroffensives did not last long, and another large-scale blasting attack by the combat sappers began. More than 500,000 heavy shotguns, which flew horizontally in various directions with precision, played a more prominent combat effect than seemed before. Although the Ottomans had a makeshift fortification system at this time, they also suffered tens of thousands of casualties under the blow of one wave. After the blow of this fierce blasting attack, the Ottomans, who had still had a glimmer of hope, also completely withered at this time. Except for a very small number of elites, there are no large-scale teams to fight back, which also reduces the pressure on the troops a lot.

Of course, even in this situation, the continuous shelling never stopped, and after losing more than 30,000 casualties under dozens of rounds of fire, the main Ottoman force, which could no longer bear the pressure, began to completely collapse and even flee at this time.

According to past combat experience, when the enemy army starts to break and flee, the defense will be greatly reduced, so the gunners who fire the guns in this situation also began to load more standard shotguns and start firing one after another. Ten rounds of fire in just a few minutes once again sent tens of thousands of Ottomans to a rain of bullets from behind, with 1.2 million standard shotguns.

In this way, the Ottoman army was once again dealt a devastating blow in the battle, and in addition to more than 30,000 of the 200,000 men who participated in the battle, 160,000 were either killed on the battlefield or executed on the spot as wounded while cleaning the battlefield, and many others were purged and disposed of after being captured. Together with the Persians, the whole of Ankara was once again strewn with corpses after more than 200 years. The only thing that can be reassured is that the weather is still relatively cold, and it is not a war zone like Burma or the Mughals, so there is no need for the team to leave as much as possible because of the plague. The army mobilized many locals from nearby areas to help clean up the battlefield and collect combustibles to light a raging fire.

In the period of a few days of rest and recuperation of the Ankara generation. The army was not idle. In this operation, the conventional artillery shells and even explosive ammunition, especially lead bullets, were not small. However, a little more convenient than modern warfare is that in the warfare of this era, as long as you have a special mold, lead bullet is easy to recycle and recast. This is true for both explosives and regular shotguns, which can be recycled as long as they are not embedded in some corpses and cause too much cost to be recycled.

As a result of this collection and sorting, the ammunition reserve of the entire army in terms of artillery fire and explosive ammunition quickly returned to more than 60 percent of the original full strength standard, and it was fully equipped to carry out a showdown of considerable scale. At the same time, a lot of ammunition that is still high-end has also been recovered in the process of cleaning the battlefield. While these munitions cannot be reforged at a fraction of the cost of lead bullets, many of these new munitions are significantly less expensive to modify than to remanufacture.

In this battle, the casualties of the team also reached the scale of about 200 people, and the independent artillery battalion and even the field troops of the core guard battalion led by Xiao Xuan also had 14 people killed, three wounded and killed, and about 100 casualties.

If the casualty loss rate of about half of the time would not have been cared too much about by the elite team in the past, but now, Xiao Xuan deeply felt that the resilience of the entire new guard battalion was no longer as strong as before. In this case, Xiao Xuan didn't intend to let the team's nerves collapse too much all the time. The fact that those who were not seriously wounded and who survived the battlefield also came with the hundreds of camps of prostitutes that accompanied the party in the following days largely relieved the pressure.

At this time, Xiao Xuan didn't seem to have too much indulgence, but at this time, Tian Xiuying and the others no longer had to be in a coffin-like place like a dead person as before, or show people with a false face. Xiao Xuan didn't have much doubt about the next main direction of attack, especially after experiencing a lot of things since this long tour.
