"Allah above, for the sake of jihad, shoot !!"

After the Taiping army entered within a distance of 100 meters, the Ottoman Turkish defenders armed with flintlock muskets, under the orders of the officers, stood up and raised their muskets to aim at the Taiping troops lining up below.

The effective range of the smoothbore gun was about 200 to 300 yards, and theoretically, the smoothbore guns at this distance were all lethal, of course, the smoothbore guns here were not referring to the early flintlock pistols, but to the mature flintlock pistols of the 18th century.

It is also the flintlock pistol that the Taiping Army once installed!

It's just that theory is theory, and no one fights like this in the war, because after exceeding the range of 100 meters, the soldiers themselves don't know where the bullets will fly, and they can't even control the general direction!

The hit rate at a distance of 100 meters is already terrible, and if it is placed 200 meters away, it is a pure waste of ammunition, and not many people will die on the opposite side after half a day.

Therefore, by imitating the Taiping Army weapons and triggered a revolution in military science and technology in the European countries and even the Ottoman Turkish Empire, the new weapons are naturally this kind of smoothbore guns, the Ottoman Turkish Empire in the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom rose for more than ten years, there has been no large-scale war, this energy is naturally focused on the upgrading of weapons.

The Ottoman sultans are not blind, and the military oligarchs within the Ottoman Turkish Empire are not fools, and the system cannot be changed, but it is still beneficial for everyone to change weapons and equipment.

In the past few years of the Ottoman Turkish Empire, the rebellions of various ethnic groups that were unstable and frequent in the country were suppressed by the Ottoman Turkish Empire with smoothbore guns.

After seeing the sharpness of the smoothbore guns, the Ottoman Turkish Empire was even more vigorous, and when the attack on the Taiping Army was launched, all the regular troops of the Ottoman Turkish Empire were equipped with smoothbore guns.

It's a pity that the imitation of the Mini rifle has never been effective due to the rotten system and backward productive forces within the Ottoman Turkish Empire, and even the Sultan's direct personal guard has not many people used the Mini rifle, and most of them are still purchased from outside.

Compared to the progress of the anti-Han alliance in using the Mini rifle as a standard weapon, the Ottoman Turkish Empire was already far behind in weaponry.

The Taiping Army brought a lot of changes to the world, and the most influential countries were naturally the European countries, followed by the Ottoman Turkish Empire, and some countries in Central Asia gradually turned their attention to firearms research and development after hearing the news of firearms rampant on the European battlefield......

Even the Persian Safavid dynasty, which was a vast region in Central Asia and close to the Ottoman Turkish Empire, heard of the turmoil in Europe, but at this time the Shah of the Persian Safavid dynasty was immersed in drunken dreams, the power was controlled by the eunuch group, and the corruption in the country was more rampant than that of the Ottoman Turkish Empire, and there was no sign of reform.

Therefore, in this era of extremely backward communications, the influence brought by Hong Tiancheng reached as far as Central Asia, and the ancient countries of the East had never heard that there was a group of Han armies fighting everywhere in Europe, and they still had an advantage!

To be precise, at this time, the ancient Oriental countries' understanding of the West was still at the level of 'Franco's, and they didn't even know a few countries in Europe......

Of course, these issues are not what Hong Tiancheng needs to consider now.

When the Ottoman Imperial Turkish troops guarding Budapest stood up from behind the city walls shouting the slogan of jihad, they didn't wait to pull the trigger, and the guns below had already raised their guns and fired at the Taiping platoon responsible for covering the friendly troops in the front row, and immediately fired a ball of bullets!

The five-in-a-row Hanyang-made magazines were all empty in just one minute!

At such a close distance, the city was full of human heads, and the Taiping army didn't need to aim carefully at all!

As a result, the dense defenders on the city wall fell down like wheat, even if the lucky ones who were lucky not to be hit, after seeing the many compatriots around them fall in unison, the courage that was raised by religion before was gone, and his pale face barely shot the projectile in the barrel of the gun, and lay behind the city wall.

As for the officer's order to continue firing with on-the-spot loading, few of the soldiers alive could still listen to it, because many of the officers and soldiers were also hit and became corpses......

Although there are constantly reserves under the city wall with smoothbore guns to fill up, the firepower of the Taiping army's Hanyang-made rifles is too strong, and the distance within 100 meters basically refers to where to fight, for the Taiping army with skilled marksmanship, the distance of 100 meters is no different from shooting a condemned prisoner on the court......

If it weren't for the battlements in the walls that allowed the defenders to hide their figures, these soldiers who believed in Allah would have collapsed after a few volleys!

You know, in the field, as long as these soldiers who believe in Allah do not have an absolute numerical advantage, and often cannot survive the stage of hand-to-hand combat, they will be defeated by the platoon guns of the Taiping army!

As a result, the firepower of the Ottoman Turkish defenders at the head of the city was completely suppressed without accident, and as long as the defenders dared to show their heads, a peanut was sent in, and red and white were splashed all over the ground.

The back of the battlements was already covered with the corpses of the defenders at this time, and the newly reinforced reserve soldiers, just seeing these corpses, few people dared to show their heads, even if the officers punched and kicked!

The officers of the Ottoman Turkish Empire naturally did not get used to the problem of soldiers being greedy for life and afraid of death, and the bloody sabers were stained with the blood of their own people, which is also the reason why the Ottoman Turkish soldiers at the head of the city only lay behind the battlements and did not all break up......

It's just that how long these Ottoman Turkish defenders can hold out is not even sure in the hearts of the Ottoman officers themselves......

These are not slave soldiers and chaotic servant armies, but regular Turkish troops!

Ichisu's standard Turkish smoothbore gun, Turkish scimitar, Turkish top hat......

However, it was useless, and they, like the slave soldiers and the various servant soldiers, only knew that they were cowering behind the city walls when they encountered the Taiping army......

Fortunately, as long as it does not collapse, there is still hope for the Ottoman Turkish Empire, the Taiping army lacks siege artillery, and if they want to capture Budapest, this wall will definitely be broken, and the defending soldiers still have a chance to fight hand-to-hand!

As long as the Taiping army is pulled into the stage of hand-to-hand combat, this scene of unilateral slaughter by rifles can be avoided, and the courage of the soldiers can be restored a little.

This was the unanimous idea of many high-ranking generals of the Ottoman Turkish Empire's defenders.

However, just as the officers of the Ottoman Turkish Empire were waiting for the Taiping army to erect a ladder and rush to the top of the city to chant the slogan of 'holy war' again, a series of roars suddenly came from the entire city wall!

In just a few breaths, thousands of Ottoman Turkish Empire defenders flew into the sky, and several gaps were blown out of the huge city wall!
