What is the future of the Daming city management in Pakistan, it is still an unknown thing, but they effectively contained the eastward invasion of the lame wolf Timurid Khanate, but it has already worked, if Wan'an's footwork can work, do not seek much progress, at least the bridgehead will be established, and when the American circle is about the same, Ding Yi does not mind, learn from the British, and send a governor in India or something.

But at this time, Ding Yi felt a deep helplessness, it was Emperor Jing's illness.

He can draw swords and guns, he can win more with less, and he can be indomitable.

However, the power of nature always makes people panic and helpless, whether it is the unpredictable sea wind and waves, or disease, it is so irresistible. Like Emperor Jing, he is no longer an emperor, because he is a military doctor, he also runs every day, he doesn't drink much, and his wife and concubine are not too excessive, but he is so sick that he feels that he is almost going.

However, this qiē is extremely normal, life is rare for seventy years, and in this era, this sentence is a true portrayal. What is the average life expectancy of the Ming Dynasty, Ding Yiji is not very clear, but vaguely remembers that the Manchu Qing Dynasty who built the thief was only thirty-three years old, and at the beginning of the liberation of the country, it only rose to thirty-five years old, and it should be about the same level in the Ming Dynasty.

The so-called misfortune is not a one-way street, also known as Murphy's Law: things tend to go in the wrong direction you think.

Emperor Jing's burning gradually receded, but when the fleet arrived at Mugudushu, Ding Yi received a bad news: Zhao Fu was also sick, and he had been playing for several days, and he was about to die. And Zhao Fu is this person. Originally, in history, it was in the year of Chenghua, and Li Bing sent troops to Fushun to conquer Jian. is also a meritorious marquis because of this.

In front of the army under Ding Yi's command with all firearms and training in modern infantry drills, Zhao Fu was admittedly not necessarily outstanding.

But in the case of cold weapons warfare. Zhao Fu is definitely a good general, this can be seen when he led the cavalry to pacify Hou Dagou after he was invested in Guangxi and participated in the pacification of Hou Dagou, otherwise Ding Yi would not have put him on Suez's side.

"Prepare the clipper, med, I'll go to Suez now." Ding Yi gave the order without hesitation.

Emperor Jing, who had just recovered from a serious illness, volunteered to go with Ding Yi, but was immediately stopped by Ding Yi: "You still expect to heal others like this?" Okay, I know you've read the Yellow Emperor's Neijing. You don't have to show off again and again, please take care of yourself first. ”

The Lightning-class Clipper is very fast, but no one dares to let Ding Yi sit, this is a thing that can disintegrate at any time if it is not careful, and exceeds a certain speed. So in the end, four destroyers and a few supply ships were sent to escort Ding Yi to Suez.

As a result, when I went to Suez City, I found that it was not only Zhao Fu who was sick, but even a marine battalion stationed here was infected with six or seven percent of them. Even the basic duties of the troops are difficult to perform as usual; The two black regiments recruited from Mukudushu and the two regiments recruited locally in Suez were even worse, almost in a state of collapse at any moment. The reason why there was no dispersal was that less than one of them was uninfected, so those people fled. The other nine adults fell ill in the barracks.

"General Zhao has ordered several military camps to be sealed off. No insiders or outsiders are allowed to enter or leave. "A few years have passed, and Xu Bin has aged a little. However, his body was still healthy, and he sighed with his gray beard, "Rujin is fortunate to have arrived at this time, otherwise, you see, the old man is also wearing a knife!" ”

The stronghold of Suez City, there has been no war for many years, although the Mamluk Dynasty may not be able to say "the side of the couch does not allow others to snore", but it is impossible not to understand this truth, so from Cairo, from Ismailia, have continuously sent troops to recruit, but Zhao Fu led the two black regiments and two Egyptian regiments recruited, and the Ming army's ability to defend the city was brought into full play.

"The marine battalion stationed here, General Zhao usually does not let them participate in the defense of the city, but as a surprise soldier used in ambushes, pursuits, and field battles." Xu Bin originally didn't know about the war, just digging the canal here, it was impossible for him not to learn and understand military knowledge, including this time the garrison was all sick, Xu Bin patted the scimitar on his waist, "The old man led the people who built the canal, and imagined that if he was promoted to Tanhua, he could also fight well, how could the old man be restrained?" In the past few days, two groups of Mamluk's scouts have been repulsed, but the losses of the people are large, and they are afraid that another group of scouts will not be able to support it. ”

Ding Yi was very emotional, and bowed to the old gentleman again and again: "It is really not easy for Mr. Yanghao, and Mamluk is the best at small cavalry attacks. However, the students have arrived, and Mr. Yang Hao can rest assured that there will be a junior to take over the defense here, and then there will be military horses to go here. ”

Four destroyers and a few supply ships also took the strength of a battalion of the guard regiment as an escort, because no one expected that Ding Yi would have the possibility of receiving defense when he arrived here, because the personnel who rushed from Suez to Mugudu to report the news, when they set off, the condition here was not as serious as this.

However, for the war, Ding Yi was really calm, and immediately ordered Liu Tie: "Build fortifications and set up another camp." Do it according to epidemic prevention standards. Liu Tie took the order, and Ding Yi said to Wan An again, "You select a few capable soldiers, put on the gas masks and rubber jackets that have been trial-made, and investigate the root cause of the epidemic." ”

Ding Yi made a few sets of extremely bulky rubber clothes and gas masks for several ships of glue shipped back from the Americas, and the filtered activated carbon was only distilled from cottonseed husks and then heated by water vapor to activate it, which was not difficult. It's just that it hasn't been useful except for experiments, so it's going to have to be useful.

Wan An was about to cry when he heard this: "Sir, the student is not good at this technique of disambiguation, but I am afraid that I will have the trust of Mr." ”

"It's not for you to be treated, it's for you to investigate, what is the reason why so many people are sick! Don't worry, wear a protective suit and a gas mask to protect yourself from the spread of poison gas through the guò respiratory system. Ding Yi commanded impatiently, "If you are afraid of death, don't stay in the barracks for too long, come out quickly and change the charcoal bag, rinse it well and then take off the chemical protective clothing." ”

At this time, I saw a local man running over in a panic and saying something to Xu Bin's Changsui, who listened to the change of color, and hurriedly came over to report to Xu Bin: "Master, they said that there are Mamluk's cavalry coming again, and they are afraid that there are twenty horsemen, how can this, this, how can this be resisted?" ”

Dare to love that they resisted those two waves before, and they were the spearheads in front of the scouts? Ding Yi listened to Daqi and asked Xu Bin: "Mr. Yanghao, what is the approximate scale of the two waves of Mamluk cavalry that resisted before?" ”

Xu Bin was not embarrassed: "One share of five rides, one share of three rides." If twenty horsemen come, and the old man is not like Jin, how can he command these people to resist? Then he said to Ding Yi, "Rujin, don't underestimate them, when General Zhao first engaged in the battle a few years ago, he thought that the marine battalion equipped with the rifle, plus the cavalry, should have no accidents, who knows, this Mamluk's cavalry is really too fast, listening to the soldiers of the marine battalion, they didn't have time to aim at all, and people rushed to the front!" If it hadn't been for the mortar, I was afraid that there would have been more than one squad loss at that time! ”

Of course, the Mamluk cavalry was sharp, and it was possible to kill the Mongol cavalry that was at its peak, how could it be possible not to be sharp?

However, with twenty horsemen of Mamluk cavalry, Ding Yi really didn't think there was much of a problem.

"Mr. Yang Hao is relieved that students have their own measure." Ding Yi comforted the old gentleman, called the fat man Wen over, and said to him, "Take a platoon and prepare to meet the enemy." Other personnel shall continue to build fortifications without error. ”

"Yes." Wen Fatzi didn't dare to talk too much at this moment, and dissuasion also depends on the time, everyone else has killed the cavalry, what are you persuading here? Besides, you can't just come with twenty horsemen, and a battalion will stop what they are doing and rush over like hedgehogs, right? Mamluk is an Arabian thoroughbred horse that rides, people come when they want, they can leave when they want, if a battalion all rushes over, the other party will withdraw, and they will come again later, won't they be dragged to death?

Su Zhen walked over with a sapper shovel and said to Ding: "Sir, I'll lead someone to go." ”

Seeing Ding nodded, Su Zhen ordered a platoon, and temporarily arranged an ambush formation, who knew that this side had not been arranged yet, and the smoke and dust had been seen rolling up in the distance, and it was obvious that the cavalry galloping at high speed was only killing this side.

As Xu Bin said, it's too late to aim!

The Mamluk, riding an Arabian thoroughbred horse, was not at all comparable to the cavalry of China or the cavalry of the steppe outside the pass. Not only is the shoulder height of the Arabian horse generally more than 1.4 meters, which is a large circle larger than the Mongolian horse of 1.2 meters, and it is visually majestic.

The key is to be fast, frighteningly fast. This is not a Mongolian horse with a speed of thirty or forty kilometers per hour.

At a speed of about 400 meters and 20 seconds, the Arabian thoroughbred sprints at a high speed of 80 kilometers per hour!

How to aim at a target that is moving at such a high speed? Unless it is an extremely good sniper with a sophisticated sniper rifle, or a machine gun position that constitutes crossfire, otherwise, as Xu Bin said, Zhao Fu can only use a surface kill weapon like artillery to retreat from the enemy.

The problem is that the gap between the attack of the cavalry and their killing is not allowed to be arranged at all!

"Smack, smack!" The platoon that blocked the attack, when the cavalry was about a hundred meters in, the guns rang out, but they pulled the bolt, withdrew the cartridge case, reloaded, and were greeted by a bright sword light! (To be continued......)
