The confidence of the Ottoman cavalry did not come out of thin air, with more than 20,000 colleagues behind them, tens of thousands of cavalry on the other side, and farther behind, where even the high-powered telescopes on the artillery balloon could not observe, there were more troops being assembled, and this was their confidence.

They showed amazing horse control and the whole formation was loose and not scattered, which was obviously much more clever than Mamluk. Mamluk, who was also under artillery fire in Egypt at the beginning, was far less quick and quick to adapt to the battlefield.

In fact, the soldiers on the bombardment balloon immediately sent back a signal: "The cavalry is accompanied by artillery, most likely!" After about ten seconds, the soldiers on the cannon test balloon sent a signal again, "Confirm that it's artillery, artillery dragged by six or eight horses, at least thirty guns!" ”

In addition to the urban cannons that were destroyed by the 4.5-inch large-caliber howitzers before the enemy was first engaged, Mehmed II's subordinates also had cannons, many of them, but the caliber was relatively speaking, not as exaggerated as Urban, and the ability to attack the city wall was not as fearful as Urban.

"The chief knows the soldiers!" Xu Bin's military sensitivity is far stronger than Liu Ji's, even if he is old, he also listens to the words of the communication soldiers, and already has such a conclusion. Liu Ji didn't know what to say to Ding Yi, but Xu Bin grabbed his arm and slowly shook his head at him.

Because Xu Bin could see that Ding Yi was thinking about countermeasures, it was inappropriate for Liu Ji to talk some nonsense at this moment-Liu Ji could bluff Xu Bin's guards, but he couldn't bluff this old gentleman-Xu Bin directly thought that Liu Ji was militarily. To open your mouth is nonsense. So he pulled him and didn't teach him to disturb Ding Yi's train of thought.

"Yuyuki. Don't be pampered, this is the right time. Don't bother Rujin! Xu Bin reprimanded Liu Ji with a straight face and a low voice.

The usual consensus of the older generation of scholars and doctors is that Ding Yi is too fond of his disciples.

According to Xu Bin's temperament, when Liu Ji talks nonsense, it is directly a repulsion, but as long as Ding Yi allows, he usually patiently explains that Liu Ji has a general concept. Xu Bin can't stand it, anyway, he has qualifications, who can't spray? directly pulled Liu Ji over and sprayed: "Ride in front and cannon." Is it a horseman or a broken cannon? This dilemma too! Can Ann disturb your teacher's thoughts? ”

Listening to Xu Bin's words, Liu Jicai's heart moved, he originally wanted to persuade Ding Yi to hurry up and open fire! At this time, he realized that he was naïve, no one was all-round, and he had his own talent in intrigue or propaganda; But militarily, he really can't do it.

"It's okay, Mr. Yanghao. Watching the student's robe break the enemy. Ding Yi put down the binoculars and said with a smile, "Communication soldier!" ”

"Here!"

"Order Captain Wen to attack! Be sure to repel the cavalry in front of the 14th Company's position! The enemy retreats and returns! ”

"Yes!"

The military orders on the battlefield are short and clear, and there is not much elaboration.

The communication command system really has a very strong position on the battlefield. Just a dozen or so cannon balloons, using sunlight and mirrors to convey military orders, although very primitive. But in this day and age, it's incredibly fast! After Ding Yi's side gave the order. In just two minutes, Wen Fatzi already had a cavalry battalion on his side. Slowly emerge from the thick planks on the trench.

"It's amazing! If the hand makes the arm, if the arm makes the finger, nothing more than that! His Majesty's attainments in military affairs are almost Taoist! Xu Bin looked at it and couldn't stop sighing. Flying General Li Guang, a famous general through the ages, right? Why is it so hard to seal? If you get lost, the transmission of military orders is not smooth, and although the command system cannot directly kill the enemy, anyone who knows a little about military affairs will know its importance. In this era, the division of troops to attack is basically a storytelling plot, and few people use it in actual combat, why? Because there are no detailed maps, no timekeeping tools, no portable compasses! Once the troops are divided, it is often a miss, and if the division of troops can succeed in the end, almost all of them will be a big victory.

And like Ding Yi, like an arm, the military orders were passed down layer by layer, and each unit was dispatched in an orderly manner, Xu Bin really felt that this was a very great initiative and an incredible command skill. This has to be done by another person, even if he can make hot air balloons, know how to make mirrors, and know how to transmit Morse code, he will definitely not be able to do this like Ding Yi.

Because this requires several codebooks, all the words that are frequently used in the army are compiled into a book, and then each phrase is ordered by numbers. And there have to be multiple codebooks, regular replacement, people who have not memorized the cipher codebook, just understand this truth, to make it up themselves, first of all, you have to summarize the vocabulary used in the army, slowly get it, slowly adjust, how long do you plan to make a copy? Five years or ten years? Not to mention that there are many replacements!

Ding Yi shook his head slightly, slightly agreed with Xu Bin, and then still held up the telescope.

In the binoculars, I have seen that the cavalry battalion of Wen Fatzi began to speed up, and the distance from the cavalry that rushed towards the position of the fourteenth company was constantly approaching! Both sides are riding Arabian thoroughbreds, relatively speaking, Wen Fatzi has armor on his side, three-layer chicken breastplate, the protection is more perfect, but the weight is also heavier, so the horse speed is a little lower.

"Why don't you fire yet?" Liu Ji was a little violated, because in addition to the hundreds of horses intercepted by Wen Fatzi, there were more than 1,000 horsemen charging towards the position of the Thirteenth Company. It has reached the point where you can see small black dots beating and approaching without binoculars, and you can see that it is cavalry, and you can see the flag of the other party, and the sound of horses' hooves is getting clearer and clearer!

Ding Yi still didn't answer, and he didn't give an order, he didn't plan to command every infantry squad.

The commander of the third battalion went down to the 13th Company, and if there was no special situation on Ding Yi's side, he would not have gone to the command.

And when Wen Fatzi began to turn with the cavalry battalion, almost invariably, the Ottoman cavalry commander also issued the same order, it should be said that the Ottoman cavalry is worse than the cavalry battalion of Wen Fatzi's tactical literacy, even if they are the elite of the Ottomans, how can there be anything compared with the modern cavalry that has been strictly disciplined?

The soldiers in the cavalry of the guard regiment, most of them are fierce steppe men from the Duyin tribe, and they have been replaced by Arab thoroughbreds, how can these soldiers who grew up on horseback show their timidity? The arc pressed by the cavalry on Wen Fatzi's side was extremely beautiful and neat, and if the cavalry on both sides gave up the charge and planned to use cavalry archery to make the first round of testing, this arc was like a battle line on the sea, whoever turned first and the formation was intact, he could strike the opponent first.

"Horn, horn, horn, horn!" The sound of gunfire like fried beans sounded in the sound of horses' hooves, and the Ottoman cavalry who fell almost at the moment of falling to the ground had disbelief in their eyes. Yes, the opponent's cavalry is better than their tactical literacy, the Ottomans can accept this, and the cavalry leader also saw that the opponent's armor is also stronger than his own side, so he ordered to suppress it with a round of cavalry shooting, see if the shooting disrupts the opponent's formation, and then rely on the armor and light horses, reorganize the formation and then hedge.

But how can this be! The two sides haven't staggered yet! That's not even the distance to shoot an arrow!

It's still seventy or eighty meters away, how can you release an arrow? It is indeed impossible to release arrows, but the cavalry rifle is enough to fire at this distance, and the suppressive shooting that does not pursue accuracy, even if it is a cavalry gun with a short barrel, it can completely suppress the opponent!

Wen Fat didn't care what the other party thought, he didn't know how to read minds, just mechanically controlled the horse with his legs, and then pulled the bolt of the gun, and finished a box of bullets, only then did he staggered with the remnants of the Ottoman army, and Wen Fat Man roared: "Grenade!" "At a distance of thirty or forty meters, with horsepower, it is the best time to throw a grenade.

The Ottomans could hardly ride their horses on their legs under the sound of grenade explosions, so God knows where the arrows they shot fell to, and the jagged arrows did not have any effect on the cavalry battalion covered in three layers of armor.

Wen Fatzi led the cavalry battalion and pressed towards the Ottoman and routed cavalry, he liked this cavalry battalion very much, the generals of this era, no one would not like this cavalry battalion, they were superb in equestrianism, good discipline, firm in faith, and strong armor and excellent war horses! After arriving in Egypt, even the shortcomings of the original war horses have been made up, such a cavalry battalion, they are the sharpest long knives in this era.

When they swept past the remnants of the Ottomans under the leadership of the fat man, six or seven hundred Ottomans rode on horseback, and none of them could stand up, and none of them were spared.

"Win! We won! Liu Ji shouted excitedly, and even because the soldiers around him were too silent, even Xu Bin didn't bother to talk to him, Liu Ji pulled a citizen of Smyrna and forced the telescope in front of people's eyes, "Look! You see! We won! ”

For the soldiers of the Guards Regiment, they did not consider it to be worth cheering. But for the young men of Smyrna, their expression, they were very crazy, they carefully handed the binoculars to their companions, and more people saw the Ottomans lying a few hundred meters away, the Ottomans whom they considered invincible, and they saw the cavalry battalion of the guard regiment, dragging the Ottoman banner and calmly withdrawing.

"God bless Rome!" They cheered like that.

"God bless Your Majesty!" "Victory belongs to the Emperor!" "O God! My God! "They were almost caught up in a collective conjecture, roaring uncontrollably, and this cavalry duel excites and fills them with confidence more than artillery. So much so that the veterans of the guard regiment in the trenches had to kick with their feet and smash them with grabs to calm them down and keep them low in the trenches so as not to be shot by the Ottomans who rushed to the defense line of the thirteenth company.

"Yuzhi, get your telescope back, otherwise, not only will you be compensated 270 silver dollars according to the price, but the military prosecutor's office will prosecute you for the crime of leaking military secrets." Ding Yi still looked at the positional defense line of the Thirteenth Company, and just said to Liu Ji calmly.

Because Liu Ji handed the young and strong telescope next to him, he didn't know whose hand it was in at this time. (To be continued......) R1292
