White smoke was filling, and the small beasts in the forest had already fled the area of the firefight, and the three or four Mamluk camps in the rainforest were all attacked by clear layers of fire. There are no lucky people or horses who have escaped from the rout, and Liu Tie's equipment is the most advanced and advanced in the whole of China.

Of course, from the perspective of a few hundred years from now, it will not seem surprising, but for the times, it is absolutely armed to the teeth.

They were not prepared to give these targeted Mamluk soldiers any chance.

So there was a chance that under the mortar and grenadier attack, the cavalry who did not lose his life, whipped his divine horse, and galloped wildly, thinking that it was time to escape, he saw a few wisps of ghost fire, which was the Ming army with phosphorescent tubes attached to his arms, and then the gunshots rang out, and he fell down with the Arab thoroughbred horse under his crotch.

And many more Mamluks, in the explosion of directional anti-infantry mines on the periphery, went to death.

Even if they rushed into the white mist, machine-gun bullets like chains of fire mercilessly tore them and their horses to pieces.

Such a high-intensity battle lasted less than twenty minutes. Because the attacking Ming army is not a recruit, and it will not keep shaking the grip of the machine gun alive and dead, until the end of the bullet chain is unaware. The machine gun was intermittently sounded, and when there was no sound of horses' hooves and human voices, the veteran who operated it would never shake it.

The mortar squad fired three rapid shots as planned. Immediately shifted the formation, albeit in the old-style army where night blindness was widespread. The chances of being counterattacked by the cavalry organized by the Mamluks are pitifully low, but these soldiers have been sharpened in the battlefield. They strictly followed the drill code, which was already related to their worship of Ding Yi, so it had nothing to do with carrying out Ding Yi's orders, it was the blood of the enemy and the blood of the robe in many battles, so that they knew that they had to do this in order to kill and injure the other party. Save yourself.

When there was silence, there was no sound except for the white smoke of the rainforest and the screams of the Mamluks, who were not dead for a while. When the smoke cleared, the surviving Mamluks lit torches, but they could not find any of the enemy's corpses except the corpses of their companions.

It's not just the advancement of technology. Not only are the weapons different, but the soldiers Su Zha, Liu Tie and his rescue team are also more than one level stronger than Mamluk. It's a battle with zero casualties. Not even a single soldier with a broken foot, or a soldier with a broken oil.

The remnants of the Mamluk army began to gather, and by this time the moon had risen in the sky. In the moonlight, the visibility is a little higher than just now. Maybe drive the horse away in the moonlight. Can you dodge the killing of enemies? But the Mamluk cavalry did not consider this option, as the moonlight and torch light could reach. They are all the corpses of their companions who are struggling to break out.

They gathered together, chanting some kind of scripture, and the attack of this night seemed to them to be attacked by demons.

On the high ground about four or five hundred meters away from those messy campsites, Liu Tie patted the mortar squad leader on the shoulder and laughed in a low voice: "I like people with devout beliefs. Even if it's an enemy. "Perhaps more directly, it should be said, especially the enemy.

Whether it was the torches or the chanting, they clearly gave Liu Tie and the five mortar squads under him a clear direction.

And so another mortar salvo, mortar shells filled with yellow gun*, landed precisely in the middle of those torches, unifying all the sounds into a miserable wail! It's a wail! The wail of the enemy is the best soundtrack in the sound of shell explosions.

Regardless of whether he has faith or not, Liu Tie is concerned about how to send them out of this world in the explosion of cannonballs.

The Mamluk cavalry, who did not die, finally stopped chanting.

Even the screams were deliberately suppressed.

Some of the seriously injured Mamluks were even suffocated to death by their own people, covering their mouths and noses.

Humans are smarter than mice and other animals, and the training of conditioned reflexes is easier to comprehend than mice.

Before dawn, Liu Tie also successfully ambushed two cavalry of about 20 people, they held torches high, as conspicuous as a target, sent by the general of Mamluk to see what was happening here. It's a pity that before they can complete their mission, they will either become captives or be killed.

After dawn, several platoons sent in to find and sweep the battlefield, in the four camps, found a total of more than seventy living Mamluk, and the other more than thirty people were seriously injured, Liu Tie was unlikely to use the precious medicine on them, so he handed over these more than thirty captives to Cao Jixiang.

Because of a night's rest, Cao Jixiang, who was finally a little energetic, saw Liu Tie's confusion: "Zijian may be embarrassed, why don't you leave them to our family to take care of!" Of course, Liu Tie couldn't ask for it, and immediately ordered the soldiers to hand over those seriously injured prisoners to Cao Jixiang, and he was in a hurry to interrogate those prisoners.

Based on the various traces of the rainforest, the previous inferences were not wrong.

"They kill a few of us every day, and someone dies every night!" The captives no longer had to be tortured, and the suffocation of death this night had collapsed all their psychological defenses, and Liu Tie separated them for interrogation, and the basic answers were no different.

"The Governor said he must catch them, or kill them! There are not many Ming people, and if you kill all of your troops, you will retreat in fear like the Tatars! It's a long way from Ming, and if you die, you won't want to stay here, and you'll leave Egypt! ”

As for the governor who came out of Hailim with troops, and their troops, it was a bit more complicated.

Because the situation of each captive is not the same: "Five thousand, at least five thousand, the Ming people can't kill us, Mamluk will not give in!" This is a captive who still has a heart of resistance, and he swears, as if he has forgotten his own disposition and his identity as a captive.

Liu Tie originally didn't want to deal with these people, it was meaningless, whether he was excited or depressed, the important thing was that he could get the information he wanted from their words. But Cao Jixiang couldn't get used to these seemingly strong captives, especially now that he had learned the local Egyptian language: "Mamluk won't give in?" ”

"Yes! Mamluk is loyal to his master, never betrays, never gives in! ”

Cao Jixiang laughed: "Sue me, what does Mamluk mean?" Fool! O slave! Mamluk meant slaves! Why does a slave who never gives in fight for his slave master? How can a slave who is loyal to his master never give in? No, you have rebelled against your chieftains and sultans many times in history! Loyal? You're not as loyal as a dog! ”

Compared with the feelings of Cao Jixiang, a great chauvin eunuch, Liu Tie is more concerned about where the governor who sent troops from Hailim is located and how many troops are around him. And these questions, Liu Tie got some answers to the two Mamluk cavalry who came to see what happened last night.

Apparently these soldiers, who could be sent by the Governor to check on the military situation, were much more sober and intelligent than the others.

Maybe because they weren't in the center of the mortar explosion and their heads weren't concussed, so they were able to quickly recognize the situation?

"Your men are warriors, real warriors, we don't know how many of them there are, only not too many, maybe twenty, or thirty? They would touch every night and kill our people, silently, fleeing before they were discovered. ”

"Your people, if you are caught, will suddenly blow up! Even the person who captures him will die if he gets too close! ”

"But they shouldn't be able to run away, it's about half an hour or an hour from here, yes, on horseback, on horseback, on horseback, after running for so long, they're there, they're in that area, the governor has twelve hundred men, and they're blockading it, there's no way they're going to run away."

As far back as ancient times, Egypt divided the day into two parts, each measured by twelve hours, and tracked the movement of the sun with large obelisks. But the time described in the mouths of these captives is not very accurate, but their own estimates, which will have a large error.

Liu Tie asked them to be taken down, at least, he got a lot of information.

The surviving reconnaissance detachment of the 1st Rong Division has twenty or thirty people? That's absolutely impossible!

The identified remains of the martyrs are clearly pointed, and at most only six people are still alive.

The appearance and physique of the Egyptians and the Chinese can still be clearly distinguished from the remains, even if some of the remains, because they have been martyred for too long, have rotted, become giants, or have been turned over and eaten by wild beasts. But for the team led by Liu Tie, from the broken clothes and appearance, it can still be completely distinguished whether it is a Chinese soldier or an Egyptian.

Six people, being treated as twenty or thirty people, shows that they are still fighting! And the frequency of their sorties was so high that the enemy thought that their size was several times their actual number.

What does it mean to never give in? This is the real unyielding.

Liu Tiezhao asked the battalion commander to come over: "Tan Feng, you take the battalion command platoon to set off first, don't be in a hurry, find all the points." Sir said, as a soldier, as a scout, you are most like him, so I leave this matter to you. ”

"Guaranteed to get the job done." The rigid Tan Feng received the order, and without saying a word, he summoned the soldiers of the battalion command platoon, and headed in the direction pointed by the prisoner.

At this time, I heard Cao Jixiang screaming loudly on the bank of the Nile: "Zijian! Oh no! (A pie-in-the-sky event, cool phones are waiting for you!)
