Even under heavy artillery bombardment, those Ottoman infantry four kilometers away from the fortifications of Smyrna, because they were infantry, they were almost negligible in artillery damage. Even if it is a heavy artillery, even if it uses nitrate-based propellant, because of the steel material of the barrel, the charge cannot be too large.

Therefore, it is impossible to achieve the fifteen-kilometer range of the short-legged M114A1 during World War II in the original history. The howitzer platoon under the command of Ding Yi has an extreme range of six or seven thousand meters, and normally it will not put the landing point five thousand meters away, even if it is an extended shot. But for this era, it is enough.

Already let the Ottoman infantry, almost most of the intact infantry four kilometers away, begin to break and flee.

Mehmed II was worthy of being the strongman of his time, and he immediately ordered to remain as a reserve cavalry and kill the rout in an attempt to stop the rout. He even had his servants shout, "Poseidon's spell has been taken away by the true gods!" Don't be afraid, just charge again, and we will be victorious! ”

His vision of military affairs was excellent, and indeed if the remaining Ottoman soldiers at this time could have been effectively organized and charged again, his attempt might have been realized. Because heavy artillery can no longer provide support; And at least a quarter of the machine guns are removing jams; Mortars' ammunition consumption is also quite severe.

There were also about 10,000 Ottoman cavalry and nearly 50,000 infantry. The charge of 60,000 people, it is quite possible that the taxi of the guard regiment? soldiers, had to throw grenades, and on bayonets ready for white-knuckle combat. Perhaps the Guards Regiment will still be able to hold the line, but there will certainly be casualties. And if there is a white-knuckle battle, I am afraid that there will be more than casualties. Rather, there are a lot of casualties.

But the sound of sniper rifle gunfire was muffled by panicked voices and neighing horses. And the elite cavalry sent by Mehmed II from time to time some of the leaders splashed blood and fell off their horses; Among the retreating infantry. There were a few brave military leaders, who had just focused on dozens of people, and soon died, and some even had their entire heads cracked, and their brains and blood splattered on the soldiers he had gathered, further exacerbating their terror and destroying their already broken nerves.

This is what the few special squads that Ding Yi released earlier did in the rout.

So when the cavalry battalion came violently, it was the last straw for the remnants of the Ottoman army on the west side.

One shot and no collection.

Even Mehmed II. could only helplessly take the last few thousand cavalry and flee in panic.

As for the remnants of the army on the eastern flank, the rout was even more complete.

Because the 1,000 regular troops, lined up with their rifles, and slowly but surely ran over to the beat of the drums, the volley of the guns broke the psychology of all the resistance.

As for cleaning the battlefield? Qian Chujiu led the rest of the army over and greeted those Smyrna people. divided into two pulls, and followed all the way east behind the thousand regular troops; One route was led by Qian Chujiu, following behind the cavalry battalion, which was called the heroic and high-spirited! Not to mention riding a horse. The evil young man's appearance is fully revealed; Even those young men who were in the trenches, praying for the blessing of the true gods from all walks of life, suddenly became so cruel that they couldn't do it.

Or the squads of the guard regiments around Qian Chujiu would stop it. I'm afraid that none of the Ottoman wounded soldiers on the battlefield will want to live.

The young men of Smyrna took up the swords and arrows on the ground. stabbed to death the wounded soldier who was still screaming; There are even young men who stab wounded soldiers while crying. Under the Ottomans, they seemed to be in a really difficult situation.

"The national contradictions are very violent!" Xu Bin stroked a new word. Ding Yi was stunned for a half beat before he reacted.

"This is Yuzhi's business, just leave it to him to reconcile slowly." Ding Yi looked at Liu Ji, who was pulled back by Jeddah, and said with a smile.

Liu Ji's knife was bloody, he was obviously a little excited, and while shaking Jida and pulling his hand, he scolded: "Ru'an dares to stop me!" The students were ordered by their teachers to take the head of Muhammad II! "People who haven't been in battle, they rushed and killed once, and cut about one or two people, and looked at his chicken breastplate, about one or two stabs, so he was a little crazy.

"Yuyuki, well done." To Xu Bin's surprise, Ding Yi didn't stop Liu Ji, but nodded at him with a smile and said, "It's okay, this time he ran fast, next time he went to Constantine to see where he was going." ”

Ding Yi has seen a lot of soldiers' mentality. There are those who go back to the battlefield for the first time, who are so frightened that they pee their pants and cry incessantly, and there are also those who are usually cowardly and go crazy when they kill someone. Therefore, he knows how to adjust the feelings of Liu Ji, a person who has just entered the battlefield and is overexcited.

The important thing is not what to say, but that Ding Yi can give Liu Ji that sense of command that is stable and cannot be refused.

Sure enough, Liu Ji immediately responded loudly: "The disciple respectfully obeys Mr.'s instructions!" Then he stopped, gasped, and with the help of the guards, dismounted and dismantled the breastplate. As soon as the armor left, Liu Ji gradually came to his senses, after all, his IQ and EQ were not low. After that, he couldn't even hold the knife, his face was pale, but he vomited wildly.

"Sir, forgive me." As soon as Liu Ji finished vomiting, he turned around and knelt down and kowtowed to Ding Yi.

Because he is a smart person, he naturally knows how wrong he is.

Not only on the battlefield, he failed to fulfill the duties of a commander, but also involved a soldier who was stabbed twice in the arm in order to protect him; What's even more ridiculous is that he should retreat, his head is hot, and he wants to chase all the way down, if it weren't for Jeddah's desperate pull on him, I'm afraid that the elite of Mehmed II would have been shot into a hedgehog.

The most deadly thing is that he is still going crazy when he sees Ding Yi! For Liu Ji, he felt the most uneasy, but this was it.

Ding Yi didn't scold him harshly, he picked him up and patted the dust on his body: "Yes, my disciples, no matter what their background, are characters who can enter the army, and they are not afraid to go into battle!" This incident is to be recorded, and in the future, all disciples of such and such a disciple will always have to go on such a trip. It must not be like the imperial shooting in the six arts, it has become a pot throwing frolic! ”

"Yes, disciple, remember."

Ding Yi smiled at him: "But I can't teach you to rest, clean up the battlefield, and return to the public as soon as you capture it, this one is for you to check; Advocating for the people to enlist in the army is also for you to do......" There are so many things that are pressed on the shoulders of the pale-faced Liu Ji. Xu Bin looked at it and shook his head slightly, he felt that Ding Yi was a little too careful.

Liu Ji is a good jinshi, except for not being able to go into battle, the others are not bad, right?

insisted on sending Liu Ji into battle. Okay, I rushed into battle once, dismounted and vomited like this, and I couldn't slow down for a moment?

"Your Majesty, why don't you take care of the aftermath and assign someone else to do it? If His Majesty is not at ease, the old minister is willing to volunteer. Xu Bin was afraid that Ding Yi would be so urged, which would make Liu Ji unhappy.

Dan Ding Yi rejected Xu Bin's kindness: "There are still big things waiting for Mr. Yanghao to cooperate here, so I will teach Youzhi to do it." ”

Xu Bin never knew Liu Ji as well, and when he heard this, Liu Ji's face flushed with a slight sickly flush.

"Dare not repay Mr. with death!" Liu Ji fell to his knees all of a sudden, and it was tears.

Because he is really a very smart character, not only a scholar who can enter the Shi, but also a master who can mix with the role of the first assistant.

Power, Ding Yi is giving him more power, and this battle is a trial.

Don't underestimate such a thing as cleaning the battlefield, Liu Ji has been by Ding Yi's side for so many years, and he also knows the inside story.

It is not an easy task to get the soldiers to be captured and returned to the public in one go.

And if this is not required, then there will often be infighting due to the uneven distribution of spoils.

Therefore, the person in charge of cleaning the battlefield is not only very important, but also has a lot of power, such as shooting soldiers who hide loot and fight for loot to robe. And encouraging young people to join the army means that the source of soldiers will have to be in the hands of Liu Ji once.

Ding Yi is helping him Liu someone to establish his prestige in the army! Including this charge, it was also to make the soldiers accept him.

An official who can only be a propaganda officer, and an official who dares to carry a knife and cavalry to attack together.

If faced with a strong enemy, which one would the soldier prefer to follow? Basically, there are no surprises.

So after figuring it out, Liu Ji was so excited.

"Mr. Yang Hao, I intend to train a division of native soldiers in Smyrna to defend the city."

Hearing the song and knowing the elegant meaning, Xu Bin bowed on the spot: "The minister is willing to guard the rear for His Majesty." ”

After replenishing the ammunition, the howitzer platoon remained in Smyrna, and the guard regiment mounted their horses and pursued in the direction of Mehmed II's retreat. This is the reason why he did not let the guard regiment go to clean up the battlefield, because Ding Yi did not intend for Mehmed II to fight as much as he wanted, and to leave as soon as he wanted.

Strictly speaking, only the cavalry battalion is the elite of the cavalry, but the other soldiers, riding skills are no problem, and in these days of fighting with the Ottomans, the war horses have captured a lot, and this is not lacking at all. As a result, at about three o'clock in the afternoon of the same day, Mehmed II, who had just been stationed in a small military town, heard the screech of mortar shells again.

Mehmed II was such a remarkable figure that he immediately fled.

However, after encamping at night, the rifle shot rang out again, and Mehmed II, who was like a frightened bird, immediately left 2,000 men as a blocking force and fled again with the rest of his guards.

But the escape at night caused most of his soldiers with night blindness to be lost.

And the 2,000 elites who stayed behind to block Ding Yi quickly surrendered after being targeted by the guard regiment and knocking down hundreds of people. However, they succeeded in holding back the guards, because they could not just leave and leave unless Ding killed the prisoners.

However, Mehmed II was soon disappointed, because at noon the next day he heard the sound of rifle gunfire again.

"Send someone to negotiate with Poseidon!" He said this helplessly to his subordinates, although he said that Bursa was not too far away, but by this time, even he doubted whether he could escape back to the important town of Bursa alive. (To be continued......) R1292
