Coming to a distance of six or seven hundred meters from the village, the marines all got off their camels and quickly formed two rows. This was Langya's improved formation, and from last night's battle, he thought that it was a bit of a waste for three rows of soldiers to take turns shooting against the camel cavalry who were running slower than their horses. Shooting intervals that are too short are sometimes not a good thing, and many camels do not fall to the ground immediately after the first shot, but run dozens of meters and then fall. At this time, bullets that are too dense are meaningless, and some camels have seven or eight bullet holes in their bodies, which are too inefficient.

"No charge without my orders! If you charge without permission, I will shoot you and the enemy behind you, you just need to protect our two wings, and I will decide when to charge. Although Langya had secretly checked the imprints on the legs of the camels of the Fatim tribe and made sure that their camels did not appear in the sneak attack that night, Hong Tao was still not very worried about these people. Before the Marines attacked, he pulled Ain and repeatedly told the Fatim brothers not to act on their own.

The number of people on both sides is actually about the same, and the other tribe is even larger, and it is all cavalry. On the other hand, Hong Tao's team not only had a slightly smaller number of people, but more than half of them also got off their camels and became infantry. But these infantrymen were very imposing, and they were in a long horizontal line under the command of whistles and trumpets, and they pressed unhurriedly against the cavalry on the opposite side. Not far behind them were two groups of camel cavalry, which had no intention of charging at all, but kept a fixed distance and followed the infantry slowly.

The Bedouins had never seen this way of fighting, and most of them, except for a few knights who had participated in the sneak attack a few days earlier, did not know what the infantry were trying to do. Walking close to the cavalry ranks, isn't this given for nothing? Even the riders who participated in the sneak attack didn't really understand that it was night, and who could see clearly. I only know that there is something weird about the other party. As soon as there is a flash of light and smoke, the people and camels on your side will be killed and injured, but no one believes this statement.

Faced with the slowly approaching infantry, the Bedouin cavalry began to charge again. In fact, there is no need to deal with such a thin formation of infantry without too complicated tactics, just rush up and hit it with a camel or cut it with a scimitar. There were not many people who actually rushed towards the infantry, and most of the camel riders still aimed at those cavalry behind the infantry, in their eyes. That's the most threatening person.

The tall and docile camels run with grace, striding and snorting and sticking their necks forward, as if they were jumping on Swan Lake. But it was not silk and bamboo that accompanied them, but the roar of iron and fire. Every five or six seconds, more than a hundred high-speed buckshot bullets would hit the dancers head-on, knocking them all covered in blood, falling into the dust, and falling heavily on the gravel ground along with the knights. Before he could react, he was trampled under the feet of his companions who were swarming from behind.

Now Saeed finally saw how the brave Bedouin cavalry was slaughtered. They are like the waves of the sea, slamming down on the reef layer by layer, followed by an overwhelming hustle and bustle, full of momentum. But the end result was that the reef did not move, and the waves were all shattered. Now the two rows of infantry, which were swapping positions back and forth, were like reefs, though they looked rigid, sluggish, and devoid of passion, let alone beauty. But they smashed layer after layer of camel cavalry.

When three louder explosions suddenly burst out on the battlefield, several large gaps actually appeared in the middle of the cavalry ranks. The entire cavalry charge formation was actually directly penetrated! The cavalry contingent, which had been able to maintain its direction, immediately dispersed. Some of the camels were frightened and began to run in both directions; Some simply fell to their knees, foaming at the mouth and giving up the idea of fleeing for their lives; Some of the camels were controlled by the riders and tried to turn back, but after a little hesitation and stagnation, a rain of bullets swept over, and the cavalry team fell again.

"Allah...... This is the wrath of hell...... Ask Allah forgive it for its sins......" Said had fallen to his knees. Pray incessantly in the direction of the Holy City.

He had heard of the horror of artillery, and had even seen test firing on Hong Tao's ship, but he didn't think it was too scary. They are too heavy and too few in number to be of much use other than to be carried on a large ship. But these cannons that can be held in the hand and carried on the shoulder are completely different, they are 100% powerful weapons for killing.

Now there are less than three hundred. What would the world look like if the emperor had 5,000 soldiers all armed with cannons? Although he was not a soldier, he had seen many great battles, whether it was in the Arabian Peninsula or Egypt or Byzantium and continental Europe, he could not think of any country or region where the army could resist the attack of these 5,000 men. There is no need to add the kind of cannon that has two wheels, can be installed on the boat and can be pulled all over the ground.

Not only did Saeed kneel on the ground and pray, but many of Fatim's cavalry jumped off the back of their camels, knelt on the ground and began to pray. Having never seen a gun, they could not understand or explain this phenomenon, and could only blame it on the gods. Since it is a god, then mortals should be pious, and the gods are here, so don't expect mortals to fight this battle, and don't let the gods blame it first.

In fact, it is not impossible to deal with the smoothbore guns of this era, especially the musketeers who are not protected by other arms, you just need to find a little bit of resolute assault. The smoothbore gun is not accurate enough, it can only hit the surface but not the dot, and the projectile can deviate by more than ten meters from a distance of 100 meters, and the fall is also very powerful. If the charging cavalry can be reduced to a reduced bullet surface and use multiple columns, regardless of casualties, it is still possible to break through.

It is a pity that this experience needs to be constantly summed up, with countless blood and lives. When these Bedouin cavalry first saw the scene of guns and cannons, they could no longer care about summing up the lessons learned, whether to quickly kneel on the ground and pray for forgiveness from the gods, or run far away to avoid the punishment of the gods.

"Fatim, it's time for you to charge! Flocks of sheep, herds of camels, their possessions! If you don't go, it's gone! Hong Tao was about to blow his cheeks out, but the Fatim brothers were still sitting on their camels with their mouths open, and they didn't respond to the agreed signal. There was no way, Hong Tao had no choice but to run over by himself, slap the two of them on the camel's buttocks, and then took out his killer weapon, money!

The chiefs rushed out, and the knights of the Fatim tribe had to climb back on their camels and charge along. In addition to the consternation, the victory and property are also very tempting, and now the village in front of him is defenseless, and every time one person runs away, it is the loss of his own clan.

The Marines did not charge with them, they divided into groups of thirty men, led by officers, and gradually approached the large tent, but never entered, but only wandered around the perimeter, and those who wanted to run out were immediately shot and killed as long as they did not surrender on their knees.

The battle lasted for a very short time, with only twenty minutes at most from the formation of both sides to the complete rout of one side. However, the time to clean up the battlefield was very long, and the cavalry of the Fatim tribe was worse than picking up rags, they wanted everything, not even the ropes to tie the tents, all of them were packed on camels, and they were tossed until the evening before they were finished. Then the ghetto vanished from the ground, and there was nothing to be seen but marks on the ground, cleaner than a plate licked by tongue.

Hong Tao did not enter the village, and the Fatim brothers kept their promise, chasing and killing the enemy's rout, and at the same time sent people to rush into the village, and soon captured the Sheikh family of this tribe, and then gave them all to Hong Tao. This was a very tall old man, his hair and beard were gray, but he was not treated favorably by Hong Tao at all, and was directly stripped of his robe and tied to the tent by Langya.

"Ask him who told him to attack me. By the way, tell him that if he doesn't say it, I'll strip all his family naked and tie them on camels, and drag them down to the streets of Masca. Then they will go to Hormuz and Basra, and maybe even Mecca. Langya, shave his beard and hair first, it's my warning! In the face of such a pious old Mu Si Lin, Hong Tao didn't try it, and directly released a big move. Aren't you religious? Well, we'll do whatever you want to blaspheme your religion, that's what Carl does best, and it turns out it works.

"Your Majesty, this is inappropriate, it is a blasphemy against the entire world of Mus-Lin, can you let me try to convince him first?" Said did not translate Hong Tao's words to the old man, and he did not agree with Hong Tao's approach.

"O old Sai, if in peacetime I have respect for any religion, in fact you have seen it, I do it. But if I am dragged into a state of war, as now, then even if Allah appears, I will have to shoot at him. Have you heard about blowing up the church of Renaia? That's what I did. In my eyes, my soldiers, my people, whatever they take out, are more noble than the pope, caliphs, and emirs, and it is my duty to protect them. Now my soldiers are dying because of them, and if he doesn't tell me the truth, the city of Muska will soon cease to exist, and it doesn't matter if there is a war with the whole Arab world for it. I'm happy to blow up every city here as long as my people agree. Please remember my identity, I am the emperor of the Golden River Empire first, and your friend second, don't make it upside down! ”

This time, Hong Tao didn't give Syed face, and even brought him in. What does it mean to speak with confidence, this is confidence. There is food at home and there is no panic, Hong Tao is not panicked when there are guns at home. At such times, there must be no concessions, and in many cases fear is the most effective means of peace.
