"There are only a few hundred of them, rush over and pierce their bodies with your swords, and we will be victorious!"

"Hundreds? To put it mildly, that's a few hundred repeating muskets with a large automatic repeating machine gun! ”

After hearing the officer's call sign, the servant soldiers cursed in their hearts.

Of course, they only dared to insult in their hearts, and still showed a deferential appearance on the surface, slowly moving forward, the Ottoman military law punishment was very severe, especially the military rules of the servant army, which was to kill the head at every turn, and these soldiers did not dare to disobey.

The repeating musket is the name of the Hanyang-made and 98k rifle in Europe and the Ottoman Turkish Empire, and soldiers and civilians cannot distinguish the difference between the Hanyang-made rifle and the 98k rifle, so it is called the repeating musket.

Because the Mini rifle could not be fired continuously like a breech gun, it retained its original name and was called the Minnie musket.

Indigenous soldiers and civilians preferred to call rifles muskets, which was related to the limitations of the times, and social development could not keep up with the progress of the Taiping army's endless new weapons.

After the slaughter of the slave soldiers, the servant army was naturally put on the front line, however, under the 98k rifle platoon fire of the Taiping army and the heavy machine gun fire of the Makqin, the servant army did not perform much less than the slave soldiers.

The same cluster charge, the wave of crowds, and then the crowd in the front row burst out a string of blood flowers under the strafing of the platoon guns and Makqin heavy machine guns, and in just one minute, more than a thousand people were killed and wounded!

Not surprisingly, the servant army also collapsed......

The leaders of the old Ottoman army behind them watched with embarrassed faces as the servant army collapsed without even touching the enemy's face, and for the first time wavered in their belief that tens of thousands of people could win by attacking and hundreds.

However, the Servant Army was not the same as the Slave Army, and the old Army, as the Warlord, did not dare to open up to slaughter the Servant Army that had retreated, but gathered them back together.

In the Ottoman army, the slave soldiers were not people, but the servant army was more or less a human ......

It was easy to slaughter the servants, but as soon as the fame spread, the Ottomans tried to pull out so many servants, and no one joined.

On the surface, the name of the servant army is the establishment of the 'regular army', but the title of the garrison regiment and garrison battalion of such and such a region or city is added to it, so as to be convenient for separating it from the old Ottoman army and the new military district.

As for the slave soldiers, they didn't even have a number, but they were just cannon fodder and coolies under the various units.

After the first round of attack was repulsed, the old Ottoman army did not continue the attack, and those Ottoman army leaders knew very well that with the virtue of the old army, the result of rushing forward would not be much better than that of the servant army, and if the old army collapsed, what would the soldiers of the servant army think?

What's more, the old army is the capital of the army leaders, and if they are not desperate, they are rarely sent to the front line to confront the Taiping army head-on, and they also know that the Taiping army's firepower is amazing!

This is the reason why the leaders of the old army were keen to expand the servant army and capture slaves to serve as slave soldiers.

To deal with the Taiping army, the Ottoman army had no way at all except to use the sea of people to attack!

It's just that in the past, when the Taiping Army did not have a Makqin heavy machine gun, the fortifications of the sea of people were very useful, and no matter how awesome the breech gun was, it was necessary to pull the bolt to fire a shot, and after firing 5 bullets, it was also necessary to reload the bullets.

But the Makqin heavy machine gun is different, as long as the water in the water cooling box is not used up, you can use a long chain of bullets to supply continuous fire, if the charging sea of people is like the small Japan that prevailed later, or the Soviet soldiers who were brainwashed by similarism in World War II, it is naturally not difficult to break through the fire blockade of the Makqin heavy machine gun, as long as the crowd density is greater than the firepower density.

Now the Taiping army is equipped with not many Makqin heavy machine guns, higher than the Taiping army's firepower density is not difficult, these tens of thousands of Ottoman Turkish troops, theoretically as long as they pay a few thousand casualties, can pull hundreds of Taiping troops into hand-to-hand bayonet combat, at that time, the Taiping army is not afraid of death will also be defeated.

Two fists are hard to beat four hands!

The Ottoman army had more than four hands!

Theory is always theory, people are life-saving, if the slave soldiers and servant armies are not afraid of death, how can they be defeated and subdued by the Ottomans?

Therefore, all the Taiping army needs to do is to sweep down a large area of the enemy in a short time, and the Ottoman army will inevitably collapse!

And that's exactly what happened.

However, the Ottoman army, which had gathered tens of thousands of people, was not willing to waste their efforts, and they still counted on the destruction of this group of Taiping troops, and the continuous muskets and even the Makqin heavy machine gun made a windfall!

As long as they capture an intact Maxim heavy machine gun, these military leaders can make a lot of money, plus hundreds of repeating muskets, even if they retire immediately, it is enough to be a 17th-century tyrant for the rest of their lives.

This is the source of motivation for this group of Ottoman troops to attack the Taiping army!

The Ottoman servant army that had been brought back and the slave soldiers who could not pretend to be dead were reorganized, and after cutting off dozens of heads of middle and low-ranking officers, they were ready to attack again.

The officers in the servant army were all ordinary veterans in the old army, and their status was not high, and they didn't feel distressed when they were killed.

Of course, in addition to the officers who bore the brunt of the attack, there were hundreds of soldiers who were the first to flee and were executed in the first place!

This killing of chickens and monkeys greatly deterred the servant army, as for what the slave soldiers thought, the Ottomans didn't care!

Half a day later, in the afternoon, while it was still dark, tens of thousands of Ottomans launched a large-scale offensive again, and the captured slave soldiers became veritable meat shields, they were held in front by the servant army with knives and guns, and after entering the effective range of the Taiping army, they were forced to run forward!

The Ottomans didn't even return the sticks to the slave soldiers!

A large group of servants, led by a new batch of junior officers from the old army, swarmed behind them with all kinds of weapons.

The Ottoman slave soldiers, crying out of their homeland slang and like mad psychos, struggled forward with their legs, and a few who still had their sanity even walked out of the zigzag running route.

However, these slave soldiers scattered in a mass were not lethal to the Taiping army, and even if the Taiping army did not fire and let them enter their own positions, they were just prisoners.

However, in order to ensure that no accidents occurred, the Taiping army still chose to open fire, and God knows what would happen to these crazy slave soldiers when they were let in.

Rows of bullets rained down on them, and the fleeing Ottoman slave soldiers were many, much smaller than the first charge, and very loose, but they also fell most of them at once!

Many of them threw themselves to the ground as soon as the gunshots rang out!

As for military law or something, you have to wait until you survive to be qualified to bear it......
