420 Attack on Budapest
At this time, the commander of the Ottoman Turkish Empire in Budapest, not to mention how depressed, the war with the Taiping army completely fell into a situation of passive beating, and there was no way to ring hands, this kind of unilateral slaughter, the defenders of the Ottoman Turkish Empire did not collapse, and they were already worthy of their Allah......
In fact, the Ottoman Turkish Empire military, which had fought with the Taiping Army, also figured out the routine of fighting with the Taiping Army, and in the field battle, the Ottoman Turkish Empire had two or three times more troops than the Taiping Army.
If there are four or five times the number of troops, the troops of the Ottoman Turkish Empire may choose a field terrain that is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and then build some temporary positions to fight the attacking Taiping army, however, even so, the army of the Ottoman Turkish Empire must rely on a firm belief in the Allah and fight against the Taiping army with their lives, so that they can be sure of a draw......
Yes, it was just a draw, and if the Ottoman Turks had only four or five times more troops than the Taiping army in the field, even they themselves would not dare to hope for victory......
After all, the fighting spirit of all members of the Taiping Army who did not retreat from the fight was also deeply experienced by the Ottoman Turkish Empire!
In the eyes of the Ottoman Turkish military, there was an unwritten rule that the strength of the Taiping army in a field battle must be ten times that of the Taiping army before it could take the initiative to attack!
Even so, when the Ottoman Turkish Empire attacked the Taiping army in a field battle with 10 times its strength, it would encircle the Taiping army as much as possible in advance, and then besiege it from all sides to ensure that the victory rate exceeded eighty!
If the siege cannot be encircled, the Ottoman Turkish Empire's 10 times the strength can only guarantee half of the victory rate, and the soldiers under his command need to be firm enough to believe in the Allah and not be destroyed by the Taiping army in a few rounds of guns......
As for the Ottoman Turkish Empire's attack on the Taiping army, it would require 15 to 20 times more troops to be sure......
This is all the combat experience accumulated when the million-strong army of the Ottoman Turkish Empire attacked the more than 37,000 Central European Guard Corps of the Taiping Army, and this experience was exchanged for the bloody price of more than 800,000 troops being defeated by the Taiping Army!
Absolutely fair and fair, without a trace of moisture!
Fighting a field battle requires ten times the strength of the Taiping army, even the huge Ottoman Turkish Empire can't afford it, of course, the Ottoman Turkish Empire agrees that if it is not necessary, try to reduce the field and fight against the Taiping army as much as possible, it is best to retreat in the city, and use the perfect city defense system to confront the Taiping army.
Even if it is a street fight, it is a hundred times stronger than fighting against the Taiping Army in the field!
After all, a large number of buildings in street battles will obscure the vision of the Taiping soldiers, so that the Taiping army will not kill and injure themselves in large quantities four or five hundred meters away, and it will be easier to drag the Taiping army into close combat, even if the Taiping army is also very strong in close combat, but at least it is better than being shot from a distance unilaterally.
What's more, the Ottoman Turkish Empire believed that the warriors of Allah were never afraid to face the white knife in and out of the red knife!
The actual situation is similar, in hand-to-hand combat, not counting the chaotic slave soldiers and servant army, the elite of the regular army of the Ottoman Turkish Empire, it is not a problem to fight a one-to-two loss ratio.
One Taiping soldier for two elite regular troops of the Ottoman Turkish Empire.
However, the proportion of elite regular troops in the Ottoman Turkish Empire was not high, and most of the soldiers fought were slave soldiers and various servant armies, and these soldiers were often defeated by the bayonets of the Taiping army in hand-to-hand combat, so the Ottoman Turkish Empire calculated only the best battle loss ratio......
Even hand-to-hand combat is so tragic, the Ottoman Turkish Empire faced the menacing Taiping army, of course, it had to choose to defend the city!
Even dragging the Taiping army into a street battle is much better than being in the field with a wide field of vision!
This is why the army in Budapest abandoned almost all the outer defense lines and retreated into the city to fight the Taiping army.
It's not that the Ottoman Turkish military was too timid, it's that they were scared by the Taipings......
The strength of the Budapest garrison is only more than double that of the Taiping Army led by Hong Tiancheng.
However, as the Taiping army successfully suppressed the firepower of the Ottoman Turkish defenders in the city, the commander of the Budapest garrison suddenly found that it seemed that in the city defense mode, they also lost more to the Taiping army......
At least, the protective effect of the city wall has been greatly reduced, the artifact artillery for defending the city has basically been abolished, and all kinds of long-range troops can't even lift their heads, and the accuracy of Hanyang-made rifles is much greater than that of the smoothbore guns and bows and crossbows equipped by the Ottoman Turkish Empire, and no matter what kind of armor, against the Hanyang-made rifle, it is a bullet with two holes, and being hit is the rhythm of a calf.
In the real battle, it is impossible to have the scene of being shot several times in the body and shouting long live holding a machine gun and firing like the classic anti-Japanese drama of the later generations......
After a normal bullet enters the human body, it will cause cavity damage more or less, even if you are not killed on the spot, you will lose most of your combat effectiveness.
What's more, the bullet caliber of Hanyang-made rifles is larger than that of assault rifles in later generations, and in the history of rifle development, the caliber of rifles in the early stage is generally large, focusing on lethality, and later with the emergence of machine guns, the rate of fire has increased, and everyone found that as long as the bullet is hit, the killing and wounding effects are almost the same, anyway, they make the enemy soldiers unable to continue fighting, so in order to improve the performance of the firearm, the caliber began to gradually shrink.
The smaller the caliber, the higher the accuracy, which is why people realize that the hit is more important than the lethality.
Since you can get results by hitting the enemy, why not improve the hit rate better?
Being shot is a terrible thing, and the existence of being shot alive in film and television dramas is just for the sake of artistic effect, if the positive character falls to the ground and wails after being shot, the audience still looks at a fart!
However, the scene of the negative soldier being shot in the anti-Japanese drama is still relatively real, for example, those little devils perform in groups, and they die when they are wiped by bullets, and there are still many examples of this kind on the real battlefield......
The Ottoman Turkish Imperial soldiers guarding the city are similar to the little devils in film and television dramas, as long as they are hit, they can basically announce their withdrawal from the battle sequence, and the Taiping army's attack queue is pressed into the city wall within 100 meters!
Thanks to the lone defender for the 100 starting coins
