The soldiers of the Western Ming Empire in the first two columns, not only did they hide the robes that operated the metal trebuchets behind them, but they also took out the compound pulley bow from their backpacks. This is not a pulley bow that Ding Yi made before and after the siege of Beijing. Although the rifle has been installed, how could Ding Yi, as the king of soldiers, give up this kind of sharp weapon that occupies a good position in special operations?

So this is already a pulley bow with a double pulley system, and it can be said that in the era of cold weapons, the highest level of individual long-range killing!

"Is knowledge really power?" Princess Anna in the stands, in the binoculars, watched Ding Yi's soldiers take out this weird-looking pulley bow, she was a little puzzled. Because of the trebuchet competition, she did try this point, but hand-to-hand combat, she felt, should be a contest of courage and strength, speed, and will.

Under Tan Feng's command, the herald's mechanical and accurate drumbeat sound, the three salvos were completed almost in two seconds.

This did not require accuracy, just a covering projectile, but the soldiers of these guard regiments, with their superior marksmanship, still controlled these three rounds of fire in the arrows of the Ottomans, that is, the bravest soldiers of the Ottomans, the warriors who charged ahead.

Although most of them were dressed in half-body armor or even three-quarter armor, and the soldiers of the blade were all holding shields, at least nearly twenty of them screamed and five or six collapsed to the ground under the three volleys of the forty pulley bows.

Because among these arrows is a long, thin, hardened mild steel needle, which is not bounced off by the armor or shield under the gravity of the fall. This steel needle will have the same effect as an armor-piercing bullet. Of course, in front of rifles and grenadiers, such arrows mean nothing at all; And in the face of non-armor targets. Again, it doesn't make any sense at all.

But in the face of the Ottomans in armor, as long as the arrow is stuck in their armor. This steel needle will cause penetrating injuries at least and penetrate the internal organs at worst! This is the product of Ding's deformed industrial base.

And when the Ottomans entered the eighty-meter area, Tan Feng gave the order: "The shooting group is here, low." ”

A perfect pulley bow can not only save effort, but also usually have two labor-saving ratios. At a high force saving ratio, then, as in the previous projectile, the shooter is able to reach the full chord with very little force, so if it is only a cover shot. Without precise shooting, the rate of fire can reach a more terrifying range - the demand for a salvo will make the rate of fire slightly slower, and it will be faster if you shoot alone;

The low force saving ratio, that is, the force of pulling the full string is greater, and the pulley bow can store more energy, so the speed of the arrow will be faster. So when the enemy entered the eighty-meter range, Tan Feng gave such an order, and then immediately shouted: "Free fire!" ”

"The artillery crew is here! The high and low angle scale is 2.5. The azimuth remains the same, stand by! ”

"Jump group, get ready to charge!"

Feather Arrow: "Boom, Boom, Boom!" The sound of breaking the air drowned out the password behind Tan Feng. Although the Ottomans wore armor and shields. But they were faced with veterans of the Guards Regiment. The people holding pulley bows here are either the best archers in the two special specialties that originally formed the guard regiment, or the archers who had the title of "Condor Archer" before enlisting in the grassland.

Tie the bowstring with a rubber block. There is no "thunderbolt" like the traditional compound bow, they are like these soldiers. Silent and deadly.

Although the sound of feather arrows breaking through the air made it impossible for the soldiers to hear Tan Feng's orders, the drumbeat of the herald's machinery. Persistently using the beat of drums and brass whistles, the order was transmitted to everyone's ears: "Artillery crew, three rapid fire." ”

"Shooting group, flank outflanking, free attack."

Then the jumping group no longer needed a signal, because the herald stopped beating the drum, but picked up the brass trumpet on his waist:

"Tick Tick, Tick Tick, Tick!"

The trumpet of the charge, the trumpet of the charge has sounded.

Twenty soldiers of the jumping group charged out like tigers, three-edged bayonets with long handles in their hands.

This is a sharp weapon against heavy armor, not to mention that these soldiers have a fighting background.

It's a pity that they don't have a place at all.

Because the enemy army was too small, only a hundred. And it was suppressed from the very beginning, the trebuchet did not have a chance to shoot, the archers did not have a chance to shoot, and the heavily armored samurai did not have a chance to fight hand-to-hand. By the time the shooting group of the Western Ming Empire moved the pulley bow to the low low-force setting, there were only about seventy Ottomans left; And after the firing group fired the first round with a low low-force gear, the Ottomans fell a dozen people, and then, they collapsed.

Although it is already elite to be able to withstand 30% of the battle losses, for this 100-man Ottoman army, to be fair, more than 40% of the battle losses are not the key to the collapse.

Because these people are not only carefully selected elites, but they are all dead soldiers. They knew that if they escaped, not only would the caliph kill him, but their families would also be implicated. If they go into hand-to-hand combat, if they are surrounded, they may really be able to fight to the last man.

But now in this state, they can't carry it, because they have been pressed and beaten from the beginning, and before they can meet the enemy, they have been killed more than forty percent, and more than a dozen iron bullets are whistling in the sky, and the archers behind don't know how many more will fall! How do you carry this?

Therefore, all the jumping group of the Ximing Empire could do was to use the three-edged bayonet in their hands to stab the Ottomans on the ground who had not yet died, in the head and face or in the cracks of their nails, to ensure that they were absolutely dead.

"That's it?" This time, it was not the magnates of the countries who were amazed, but Mehmed II, who had always been very calm, even if his elite dead soldiers were killed and injured by iron bullets, he was unmoved, he stood up irrepressibly, grabbed the generals around him and roared, "That's it? That's it? Why is this happening? God is above, this is impossible! The Ottomans could not have been defeated in the face of blades and arrows! ”

The count, who came from the Kingdom of Sicily, not too far from Mehmed II, whispered to his wife: "Yes, Ottoman warriors, it is impossible to be defeated like this. And so they perished. This won him the affectionate kiss of his wife, for it was true, as he said, not defeated, but destroyed, and the whole army was destroyed, and no one lived.

"But, Lord Count, how did Poseidon do it?" A baron from Holy Rome next to the count asked the count with a look of astonishment, "There is also a living one!" Even the cardinal and the king of France, who were the referees, did not have time to give the order that the victory was decided! ”

The Count shrugged his shoulders and stroked his perfectly trimmed beard: "God's will, that's all I can say. ”

"Otherwise, it's hard for you to explain why the fugitive archers were hit by the projectiles thrown by the dozens of small trebuchets. No, I don't mean why that little trebuchet can throw so far, or why it throws projectiles, why it can smash an iron shield and kill a soldier...... Do you understand? I mean timing! The Count could not hide his surprise either.

This made the baron from Holy Rome agree: "Yes! That's what I'm referring to, timing, as if the Ottomans had told Poseidon's men in advance of the moment when they had decided to collapse, so that the other side could have time to launch that wave of attacks! God testifies, how is this possible? Hundreds of people duel, one side has no casualties, and one side is annihilated! ”

While his wife was watching the duel, the Count secretly asked another lady next to him for the room number of the hotel where she was staying. It seems that he feels that the baron's existence is inconvenient for him to use his ability to pick up girls, so he made a summary: "I don't know, what I know is that don't fight with Poseidon, absolutely not, maybe he is really a saint, yes, I believe it, just by virtue of this duel, I think God's favor for Poseidon is even deeper than that of His Majesty in Rome!" By His Majesty, he meant the Pope.

At this time, the magnates of all countries looked at Ding Yi, the eunuch in a python robe, and after being called by Ding Yi and whispering a few words, he took two guards and went to the stands of Muhammad II. Even Louis XI said to the cardinal beside him: "Poseidon has won the first game, and it seems that he is going to cancel the second duel." I have to say that even if he quits the duel now, there will be no shame. At least in terms of army operations, the prestige of the Ximing Empire is out. ”

"That's true." The cardinal agreed, nodding his head, "It's a clever way for him to avoid fighting and to avoid a duel with the mighty Mehmed II." After all, he is the monarch of a country, not the protagonist of knightly novels. ”

When Cao Jixiang came to the stands of Muhammad II, he did not bow his waist in front of Ding Yi and flattered him, but directly pointed at people with his chin: "According to the holy word, if King Muhammad II is sick, I will allow him to postpone the duel until 12 days later." ”

Cao Jixiang, who was wearing a python robe, came to Muhammad II, took out the style of the envoy of the Heavenly Empire, and proudly announced to Muhammad II: "Bayesset, the son of the king of Yi, has a friendship with me as a teacher and a student, and has always respected the teacher. ”

Mehmed II sneered and said in the blunt words of the Great Minister: "There is no point in talking about Bayesset; Not to mention a carpet, even if Simin withdrew from Smyrna, this duel would definitely not be canceled or postponed! Go back and tell your master, when the time comes, it is useless to be afraid, I promise to kill him quickly, and give him the dignity of a monarch's death!" ”

"Go back, let your master, prepare your own graveyard!"

Mehmed II stroked the scabbard of the long knife, and with absolute confidence, he slashed Ding Yi under the knife.

You know, they agreed that the weapon of the duel was a sword, not a trebuchet, not a bow and arrow, but a sword, and not armor. (To be continued......)
