In Crimea, tens of thousands of the main forces of the Crimean Khanate were busy in the field fortifications with flintlock pistols and various cold weapons.

The outermost part of the line was an open wasteland filled with stakes that were of little use to the horses, but they were effective in slowing down the speed of the infantry, which would take a lot of time to spare the piles that were everywhere.

On the battlefield, even a minute of charging time for the enemy is extremely valuable.

Behind the stake is a three-meter-deep trench, the bottom of which is filled with sharpened wooden thorns, so you can imagine what kind of pain a person would experience if he fell.

On the inner side of the trench is a breastwork several meters high, behind which there are several steps, on which the soldiers of the guard can stand and shoot and reload with flintlock pistols, and the front and back of the breastwork are inlaid with planks and sandbags, which can effectively prevent bullet penetration and solid bombardment.

Even if the flowering bomb exploded outside the breastwork, it would not hurt the soldiers behind the breastwork.

This tight line of defense was stretched for tens of miles, blocking all the main communication routes into the Crimean Khanate, and although other places could be passed, the terrain was even more rugged, almost to the extent that a single man could not open it, and it was impossible for a large army to pass through.

Behind the breastwork defense line, there are several similar defense lines, one layer is higher than the other, the whole defense line presents an upward slope, after the first line of defense is breached, the flintlock pistol of the back line of defense can completely cover the inside of the first line of defense.

In order to curb the further expansion of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, the Anti-Han League held several meetings with the neighboring countries of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, and sent a large number of military instructors to tell the troops of these countries how to fight the Taiping army and build qualified fortifications.

As for the counterattack on the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom......

If you want to die, don't drag everyone to die!

In the eyes of the Anti-Han League, it can curb the external expansion of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, slow down for a few decades, slowly climb science and technology, digest the technology of Hanyang rifles, and imitate the equipment, the next generation of people can also carry guns to the battlefield, and it is not too late to fight again.

Perhaps, Hong Tiancheng, the demon, can still be relied on until he dies of old age, but the intelligence system of the Anti-Han Alliance has already fed back to the heads of European countries, Hong Tiancheng is completely the instrument of eternal youth, not to mention dying of old age, and even the possibility of getting sick is extremely low......

This point undoubtedly confirms the rumor that Hong Tiancheng came from the incarnation of the demon of hell, and now Christianity and even the green people have completely demonized Hong Tiancheng, and the demon identities of various villains and big bosses are deducted from Hong Tiancheng's head without spending money, and call on the majority of believers to fight with the demon king to the end......

Not to mention, this set of remarks comparable to the second level in the 21st century has a very broad market in this era, and it can stimulate morale more than any patriotic and loyal slogan.

For example, more than eighty of the soldiers of the Crimean Khanate who are now being attacked by the Taiping army believe in the 'fact' that Hong Tiancheng is the demon king, and regard the Taiping army under Hong Tiancheng as a demon soldier who is thirsty for killing, as if after the Taiping army breaks through his hometown, his relatives and friends will be slaughtered by the demon and sacrificed......

The religious bigwigs have succeeded in bringing the war against the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom to the point of extinction of the human race.

Of course, true intellectuals will not believe this set of fallacies, if Hong Tiancheng is really the incarnation of the devil, why are those white people in the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom still alive?

In the eyes of truly sensible people, Hong Tiancheng is just a tyrant with strange powers, and he is not compatible with the man-eating demon, because the demon does not need an army to fight, and a meteorite fall is enough......

If one meteorite fall is not enough, then two!

Behind the first line of defense, in addition to the musketeers waiting in line to climb the steps to play counter-shooting, there is also a phalanx armed with cold weapons such as broadswords and spears.

Their combat mission is to wait for the Taiping army to climb the breastwork, pick up the big blade and cut it, the World War II era of the big knife team such as the armed forces have proved that in hand-to-hand combat, the big knife is not much worse than the bayonet, if it is a soldier who is proficient in the big knife, even can defeat the ordinary bayonet soldiers.

The only difference is that all the soldiers of the Crimean Khanate no longer wear iron armor, and the Taiping army has proved a truth with rifles, and no matter how thick the armor is, it is a fart in the face of bullets!

Therefore, the Crimean Khanate, like the rest of the European continent, melted a large number of iron armor with forged barrels and various cold weapons.

Tens of thousands of cold weapons troops behind the first line of defense sat on the ground, trying their best to maintain sufficient physical strength before the battle, while tens of thousands of musketeers were leaning against the wall and chatting with each other with muskets.

In the face of the attack of the Taiping army, the Crimean Khanate, of course, did not dare to hold on to it, and all the carefully built defensive lines were arranged with elite troops that destroyed the Cossack United Emirate.

Their task was not to defeat the Taiping attack, as long as they could withstand it for a month, they could get reinforcements from the surrounding neighbors, and if they could withstand it for three months, they could get reinforcements from the Ottoman Turkish Empire, when the Crimean Khanate would return to the arms of the Ottoman Turkish Empire with great loyalty......

Because the Crimean Khanate knew very well that it would never be possible to defeat the Taiping army by its own strength alone, and even the slightest certainty did not exist!

This was when the Crimean Khanate was not aware of the full redress of the Taiping Army......

Due to the cautious secrecy measures of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, it is known that in 1680, the European countries did not investigate the equipment of the Taiping army's new weapons, and their impression of the Taiping army was still at the level of Hanyang rifles.

When the troops of the Crimean Khanate sat behind the defensive line and waited for battle, a mile away from the Crimean Khanate's defense line, 75-mm rapid-fire guns lined up aimed at the Crimean Khanate's fortifications.

"Report to sir, the coordinates have been corrected, please give further instructions."

"Shoot sharply for an hour and wipe out the entire Crimean line!"

As the order was issued, the 75-mm rapid-fire guns lined up suddenly broke out with a deafening sound, and the soldiers in the Crimean Khan's defense line a mile away suddenly heard a sharp sound of breaking the sky, and many curious soldiers involuntarily raised their heads to look at the clear sky, and then ......

Explosions and flames engulfed them!
