If Shi Heng was here, he would probably tell the governor of Mamluk that this could not change anything, street fighting, fire tongs, and arquebus grenades were the only possible scenarios for causing casualties against the elite under Ding Yi. Because the four companies, plus the battalion headquarters and the orderly soldiers led by Liu Tie, there are almost 500 people, and from grenades, rifles, grenadiers, machine guns, mortars, and the level of firepower is very well embedded, they are all veteran soldiers, and the supply of ammunition is not a problem.

What is even more tragic is that the rainforest is really not a battlefield for Mamluk to use his cavalry strengths.

Hundreds of years later, at the Bali Bridge, tens of thousands of cavalry lost thousands until they retreated, and the damage caused to the British and French forces was only five dead and more than 40 wounded. Of course, the Anglo-French army had large-caliber artillery, but four mortar squads against thousands of cavalry were enough in terms of firepower.

Zero casualties, this was the first battle in which the Ming army achieved zero casualties on an overseas battlefield.

The reconnaissance detachment of the Rong 1st Division, with more than 30 people, faced with about 2,000 elite Mamluk cavalry, would rather die than surrender, regardless of casualties, and always insisted on fighting.

That is naturally an extremely tragic event, and it cannot be achieved without an iron will and a good military quality.

But more than 1,000 Mamluk cavalry and 500 elite Ming troops faced each other, which was really lackluster.

From the point of view of the Ming army, there was nothing worth mentioning about the battle process at all.

You must know that the Ming army used rifled rifles. Even if it's driven by a black musket.

And the cavalry of Mamluk did not advance to a range of fifty meters from the forward position at all.

All the blood and bravery are in front of steel and technology. Becomes pale.

It is like the party that controls advanced weapons, and it is an out-and-out elite.

About after more than three hundred corpses were dropped. The Mamluks collapsed, in fact, it was not that they were so brave that they could bear more than 30% of the casualties, but that the artillery and machine guns of the Ming army did not leave them time to calmly withdraw from the battlefield.

"Chase!" Liu Tie gave the order without hesitation, and this time he did not charge forward with a revolver in his hand.

More than 200 captives surrendered, while hundreds of others scattered and fled into the rainforest.

Liu Tie left behind the reconnaissance company of the regimental headquarters of the guard regiment, led by Tan Feng, with the squad as the unit. In the rainforest, he hunted the fleeing Mamluk soldiers, and on that day, he drove his captives home. I don't know if it was to prevent Ma Muliuke, who was generally better than the Ming army, from snatching horses when he was escorted back to Suez, or for some other reason, Cao Jixiang took more than 50 soldiers from the grassland and drove more than 200 war horses. Rushed back to Suez ahead of time to report the news.

When Liu Tie returned to Suez with the captives, only seventy or eighty people were alive, and the reason for reporting was that the captives were on the way. disobeyed the command, was attacked by animals in the rainforest, and was poisoned to death; The captives were reluctant to boil water. diarrhea and diarrhea; There were also more than a dozen people who tried to riot, and they were punished on the spot, and so on.

"You can't do that anymore." Ding Yi read the battle report. casually handed it over to Liu Ji to archive, but said this to Liu Tie. "We must communicate more with the captives, treat them well, carry out ideological transformation, and change them."

"Yes, the disciple is wrong." Of course, Liu Tie would not be lucky, and felt that Ding Yi would not be able to see through his little tricks.

Ding nodded: "You really did a bad job." ”

"But it's cool!" Dante Yi gave Liu Tie a bear hug, gritted his teeth and said, "If I were you, I would make it impossible for any of them to reach Suez." ”

"But it's wrong to do that, we can't indulge our desires to achieve great things."

"Mr. Yang Hao is right, we can't use militarism just thinking about diplomacy, and we can't use Nazism for ethnic groups outside of China, which will only isolate ourselves." Ding Yi was a little depressed, but he still explained to Liu Tie very seriously, "If you make such a mistake in the future, you will be punished, do you understand?" ”

"Yes!" Liu Tie responded loudly, not looking like he was criticized after making a mistake.

This forced Ding Yi to leave him behind and carefully explain the importance of the national policy.

Obviously, Ding Yi still punished Liu Tie for this wrong thing, that is, he led a company of a guard regiment to the vicinity of Cairo to join the search for the whereabouts of the Sultan of Mamluk.

The ceremonial of surrender, Ding Yi, did not attend, and although he had made a trip to Cairo, it was Morena who received the caliph's seal.

"Great Highness, Morena will not join the war against you." The war she refers to refers to the competition for favor between Ding Yi's wives and concubines. This kind of behavior is a good thing, although they are very good at controlling this kind of competition for favor, but for Mo Leina, she sees it very thoroughly.

To put it mildly, now it's because Zhang Yu is in town there.

But Zhang Yuna's body is really weak, if there is anything wrong with her, the battle between Ding Yi's wives and concubines is afraid that it will not be intrigue, but will directly see blood and even human life!

Because Ding Ruyu is very murderous, and her connections and old departments in the army are not Ding Yi who asked her to leave the army, go back to Liangguang to mobilize the gentry to invest overseas, and mobilize people to go overseas as officials, these old departments in the army have cut off contact. When Mo Rena saw it, there were many officers and soldiers in the army who sent people to give gifts on festivals and kowtow to the mansion to ask for peace. After all, in the years that Ding Ruyu sat outside the Guan, there were not a few garrisons and thousands of households promoted by her, not to mention the hundreds of households below and the general level. In the Guangdong area, the battle to suppress the Shunmin Heavenly King made her very popular in many guards and thousands of households.

At present, the president is in charge of more than 20 hospitals in Guangzhou, Yunnan, Guizhou, and Yunyuan, and is very popular among the middle and lower ranks of officers and soldiers in the army. The general of the border army who fought with Jianyu was created. If possible, all the ships will do everything possible to contact the sea vessels to go to the Guangzhou Prefecture, and please stay in charge of the natural knife. Her dream of being a heroine has been in her heart for a long time. Even after ten years, when he is annoyed, he will shout: "The sword of the deceitful woman is not good!" ”

Once these two tear their faces, they will really kill people, which is not surprising at all.

Liu Yiyi has never been a good stubble, think about a woman who can even tie Ceuta and Mu Gu, and can lay the Ding family merchant in the branch a few years ago, how simple can it be? Now Liangguang, Zhejiang, Yunyuan, Yunnan, Guizhou, almost a little larger business transactions. You can almost vaguely see the manipulation of this woman behind the scenes. What's more, Uncle Zhong, an old serial killer, although he watched Ding Ruyu grow up, he recognized Liu Yiyi as his mother, because she was a family affair that Ding Yi's father had set up when he was alive. If Liu Yiyi ordered Uncle Zhong to do something, this old serial killer who killed people he knew well, he wouldn't necessarily be able to do it.

"Morena is not smart, let's stay in Egypt. When His Highness is happy, he does not have to think of Morena; When His Highness is proud, he doesn't have to think of Morena. But if you look at the cold moon like a knife, the frost wind is like a sword. Remember, Your Highness, that Egypt is not only home to pyramids and sphinxes, but also to your Morena. She didn't mention her son. Not a word was mentioned.

Ding listened to it and lost his mind for a few seconds. Then he sighed: "It's me who is not dedicated enough, and I can't blame you." ”

Ismailia did not spend much effort on the Ming army. The casualties add up to only double digits.

The local governor did not surrender at the beginning, he sent 5,000 cavalry to charge, preparing to drive the Ming army directly into the Suez Canal while the Ming army was seizing the beach.

It should be said that he was luckier than Helim, the governor who is now a prisoner of Suez.

At least the battlefield he chose was still very conducive to cavalry attacks.

But he was also unlucky.

Because the ten escorting destroyers told him very clearly, what is called: artillery is the god of war!

In this era, the rifled guns on the destroyers were the god of war, not "like" or "just like", and the high-explosive combat warheads wrapped in lead shells were only a number when the ten destroyers began to fire in a single column, except for the Mamluks in front who were less than 500 meters away from the Ming army, they were spared, and the other cavalry was just a number, a number in the casualty statistics.

The Mamluk cavalry, who had been able to escape death because of the fear of accidental injury from the naval guns, also burst out with amazing bravery when they knew that they had no way to retreat, so that some companies of the Rong 2nd Brigade in the forward position were already loaded with bayonets.

Rushing to the beach, there is no position, you can only use bayonets to carry it, and if you change it to other troops, you may be scattered and retreat, but the soldiers of the Second Brigade of Rong have the bloody nature of seeing red with white blades, and many of the company and battalion commanders shouted: "Red line!" A red line that never backs down! ”

It was the students of Rongcheng Academy who followed Ding Yi and came out of Miyun avant-garde, and they were still teenagers at the time, so they dared to wear their robes backwards, revealing the bright red blood inside, and used the red line composed of three bayonets to stop the cavalry of Qishou Nayan.

It's a pity that their bravery and bloodiness are rarely used now.

Machine guns, mortars, and grenadiers quickly eliminated the thousands of Mamluk cavalry who had evaded the ship's guns.

Although the most heroic cavalry rushed to a distance of less than twenty meters from the forward position, all he could do was to throw the Damascus steel knife in his hand in despair, which first broke Li Bing's assumption of zero casualties, and with horsepower, it flew far away, and in the midst of the Ming army without armor and helmet, it inflicted a penetrating wound on a soldier.

That's how the two-digit casualties came about, and there are always individual heroes in any nation and country.

If they were in the battlefield of pure cold weapons, they might be able to change the outcome of a battle, but in the face of the Ming army, they were powerless.

And in Suez, Emperor Jing was pulling Ding Yi's sleeve: "Heavy color and light friends, what you promised to your concubine was fulfilled, what did you promise me?" ”

Ding Yi frowned and said: "Egypt is far from settling down, the road is still very long, if you think that this is the coming dynasty of all nations, then tomorrow may be the Anshi Rebellion."
