When Li Xiao was looking at the map, Li Hu tied his shoelaces. Watch the fiery sun and get ready to start the day's battle.

If a strange force wants to gain a foothold in a strange place, the easiest way is to find a force and repair it fiercely. The stronger the forces you repair, the greater the benefits and respect you will receive.

The person Li Hu was looking for was very strong, the Mamluk Sultan Hudu. Because he raised 20,000 Mamluk cavalry, he became the overlord of Egypt. Even Napoleon did not dare to be tough. All of Palestine was his domain, and Aleppo and Damascus trembled under his obscenity.

If you want to find it, find the best one! These are Li Hu's exact words!

Joseph wanted Li Hu to swallow this sentence back into his stomach, but by the time he knew it was too late. Joseph regretted that he had come to Li Hu's camp with provisions, and now it was too late to run.

It is the owner of this place, and no one knows the land better than them. In the Plains of Ain Jaru, trying to escape their pursuit is a fool's dream.

"The Mamluk cavalry was trained for life, which made them physically robust and skilled in military combat, and they were heavy cavalrymen with iron helmets and chain mail. The armor of the Mamluk cavalry was much lighter than that of the chainmail cavalry of the European knights, but the protection was not bad. The armament consisted of a strong bow, a spear, a sharp Damascus scimitar and a shield.

The mount is a world-famous Arabian horse with impressive sprint speed and good stamina. However, the Mamluk cavalry is basically one man and one horse, so the mobility is far inferior to the Mongol cavalry, the tactics of the Mamluk army and the Mongol army are also significantly different, the Mamluk army usually takes a defensive position when fighting, the cavalry is lined up in a neat formation, with a strong bow wave after wave of salvos to hit the attacking enemy, the Mamluk cavalry is superb in archery, can accurately shoot the enemy at a considerable distance, and wait until the enemy is greatly reduced by the bow and arrow salvo, the formation is scattered, the Mamluk cavalry will attack.

The Mamluk cavalry was excellent at knife skills, and the world-famous Damascus scimitar made the Mamluk cavalry invincible in close combat. Joseph repeatedly told Li Hu that the Mamluk cavalry was strong, and he wanted Li Hu to flee with him. On the plains, the Mamluk cavalry was synonymous with invincibility.

"I have two hundred and forty Acre 47 rifles under my men, and I have twelve mortars and more than 2,000 shells. I still have five hundred mercenaries! Li Hu arrogantly showed off his family background.

Joseph couldn't cry, and there were more than 20,000 powerful Mamluk cavalry under the command of Kudu opposite him. With less than a thousand men on the line, they only need one charge, and the rest is just to slash and kill on horseback.

And the mercenaries, whose legs Joseph could clearly see were shaking. It is estimated that as soon as the Mamluk cavalry appeared in the field of vision, these people would immediately put down their guys and fled. If the guns in their hands wanted to inflict damage on the Mamluk cavalry, they had to rush within 50 meters of the Mamluk cavalry. At this distance, the cavalry rushed to the front in the blink of an eye. Before the bullet is replaced, the human head will fly.

Look at the four hundred French soldiers behind him. Maybe these people are more reliable, they know how to treat prisoners of war. Think about the treatment of prisoners of war, who prefer to die in battle.

Joseph didn't know where Li Hu's arrogance came from, but he couldn't help it. Now that he has been deceived by Li Hu into a thief ship, it is impossible to run, and the only thing he can do is to give it a go.

"Rest assured, those mercenaries are refugees. Their tribe was destroyed by the Sultan of Kudu, and they survived very narrowly. If they are caught by the Sultan of Kudu, it will be worse than death to take them with them. Li Hu could see that Joseph was very uneasy about those mercenaries.

Hearing Li Hu say this, Joseph felt a little relieved. At least when the fight starts, they don't run away right away.

"I still hope that you can retreat at dawn. If we are lucky, we can have the opportunity to retreat to the sea. At the very least, we'll have to find a place like a hill to hold onto. With such a dirt fence on the plains, you expect two trenches to hold back the Mamluk cavalry? Joseph glanced at the trenches, which were densely covered with spiked stakes, and he did not think that they would be able to hold back the Mamluk cavalry.

And! Who told you that the Sultan of Kudu had no infantry?

The Sultan of Kudu had good relations with the British, and they obtained a considerable number of flintlock muskets from the British. There were even a few breech-loading guns, but those were too bulky for them to carry. In terms of the level of equipment, they were not much worse than the French army.

"Just wait, let your men help us defend. Kudu Sultan is going crazy, and he will definitely do everything in his power to trample me into a pulp today. Li Hu looked full of confidence.

Joseph almost fainted, and he was now afraid of hearing something like all his might. He wished that the Sultan of Kudu would not look down on this small team, so he sent a few birds to deal with the matter.

"Do you know why?" When Li Hu saw Joseph's appearance, he actually had the face to ask rhetorically.

"Why?" Joseph instinctively felt that this guy didn't do anything good.

"I attacked a team, and it just so happened that the daughter of the Sultan of Kudu was in the team. The slaves robbed the team and ...... They gave the girl of Kudu what to do. Li Hu raised an eyebrow at Joseph.

"What's the matter......!" Joseph's heart almost popped out of his mouth.

"That's it."

"Guys, give Princess Aitullah to ...... What's that? "Joseph felt like he had seen death.

Princess Aitullah is known as the heart of the Sultan of Kudu, and the chief of Aleppo just looked at the princess twice, and her eyes were gouged out by Kudu. These bastards actually dare to give Ayitula to that. No wonder those mercenaries don't run, they just run to the edge of the sky, and suddenly they will be captured and killed with the most cruel punishment.

"It's not us, our Ming army doesn't do that. They did it! Li Hu pointed at the mercenaries, looking innocent.

Joseph felt a blackness in front of his eyes, and he was dead! Fucking dead!

"Not only did we not have that, but we also sent the body of that princess with the war book. Anyway, I have to send it, and I will save trouble by sending it all at once. ”

Joseph faltered and sent the body back, angering the brutal Sultan of Kudu. Li Hu is disgusted with longevity, but you have enough fucking work, pulling Lao Tzu's dry hair. Lao Tzu is here to give you support, and by the way, make some money to spend. Who the hell knows, he was fooled by Li Hu.

Before Joseph could pass out, he heard a commotion among the soldiers. Joseph looked in the direction the soldier was pointing, and suddenly a black line appeared on the horizon of dawn. The sun had not yet scorched hot, and the black line could be clearly seen, moving.

After waiting for about an hour, the sun rose completely. Then the sunlight could see that a large army was walking towards Li Hu and them. How many people can't see clearly, anyway, Joseph only thinks of one word, overwhelming!

Li Hu carried the Aka 47 rifle and looked at the army that was gradually approaching.

It was a mixed force of cavalry and infantry, and the total number of people was almost 10,000. It can be seen that even with such a provocation, the Kudu Sultan did not exert all his strength. After all, there are only more than a thousand people on their own side combined.

A numerical advantage of more than ten times will give the Sultan of Kudu extreme confidence.

Li Hu understands this kind of self-confidence, and if he faces such a numerical advantage, he will also burst with self-confidence.

But what they met was Li Hu, a Li Hu with modern weapons.

Joseph swallowed a big gulp of saliva with a "grunt", and now it was too late to even run. In desperation, the French soldiers could only be constantly sent to garrison the edge of the trenches.

Although the rate of fire of the flintlock pistol is a little slower, at this time, a gun is counted as a gun, and the rate of fire cannot be cared about.

The place Li Hu chose to camp was a small slope, and everyone was waiting with weapons in hand. The French soldiers and mercenaries were about to die of nervousness, and those Ming soldiers who followed Li Hu were holding flatbreads in their hands and rolling beef and kept biting. From time to time, he also took out a military kettle and poured a sip of sweet and sour wine.

The weather in the Middle East was too hot, and Li Xiao had no choice but to order the military quartermaster to get more wine. Wine is a thing with limited alcohol content, so you can't get drunk easily. On top of that, this stuff contains alcohol. As long as it is sealed, it is difficult to decay over a period of time.

The knot of hatred was so great that all unnecessary rituals were dispensed with. There is no such thing as a symbolic way of sending someone to talk about a judgment or something. When he saw his daughter's torn corpse, Kudu decided to make everyone on the other side pay the price.

The opponent's military formation stopped two miles away from Li Hu.

Li Hu held the binoculars, and Joseph beside him asked softly: "Third master!" After ranging, the other party was only one kilometer away from us. If the cavalry were to attack, you would die without a place to be buried. If your subordinates take your place, don't you say? A gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall......! Joseph was anxious to let Li Hu get an idea.

Li Hu, who was holding the binocular, waved his hand impatiently, as if he was chasing flies. "Don't make a noise, I'm shocking everyone now, how the fuck is going to beat you. Listen to it all and put people closer to fight. Aim for one bullet to kill one and save some bullets. Mortars, shoot again at my command! ”

The earth fence is not big, and Li Hu's shout reached everyone's ears. Soon, Joseph translated Li Hu's words to his soldiers. Almost at the same time, the tongue man translated Li Hu's words to the Lebanese mercenaries as well.

The sun was rising, and the sun was a little dazzling.

The army of the Sultan of Kudu was getting closer and closer, and suddenly the army of the Sultan erupted in a tidal wave of shouts. Then, countless cavalry rushed out of the military formation, brandishing a Damascus scimitar in their hands, and rushed towards Li Hu's position.

"The cavalry rushed first? This is not a fucking Jurchen Tartar way of playing, it's outdated in our place. Joseph, don't pull my clothes, this kind of ramming can be dealt with by 100,000 people. Seeing the tactics of the Sultan of Kudu, Li Hu was so happy that the corners of his mouth almost opened. This tactic is exactly the same as that of the Jurchen Tartars.

When Li Xiao started his business, he did not work with the Jurchen cavalry. At the earliest, it was still a fire gun, which could turn the Jurchen cavalry on their backs. Not to mention, now he has the existence of the Aka 47 rifle under his hands.

Li Hu regretted a little that he didn't get two Makqin machine guns out. Li Xiao is relatively strict with that thing, and he can't get it out easily. And Li Hu also felt that that thing was too bullet-intensive. If you go to Egypt by yourself, you can't have a stable and sufficient supply, and carrying such a heavy and large thing is a great waste of transportation space.

It's too late to regret it now! The enemy soldiers began to charge, and the galloping Arabian horses, stepping on the smoke and dust like yellow clouds, rolled close to the ground. The galloping majesty of ten thousand horses made the earth tremble. The thunderous sound made the legs of the Lebanese mercenaries in Li Hu's camp tremble.

Although they wanted to resist the tyranny of Kudu, they were also frightened in the face of the cavalry charge.

"Trebuchet! Get ready...... Put! Seeing that the enemy cavalry rushed to within 500 meters, Li Xiao immediately ordered the trebuchet to be fired.

Li Hu has just come to Egypt, and he has no connections, no money, and no ...... Nothing, anyway. The Arab world is rich in skilled knights, and the world-famous Arabian war horse is of this type.

In order to make up for the lack of cavalry support, Li Hu unscrewed the military kettle and poured a large sip of wine. I hope that these dirt and slag things can withstand this wave of attacks.

As soon as Li Hu's words fell, the herald shook the small red flag in the direction of the trebuchet and roared loudly.

The Lebanese mercenaries who were in charge of the trebuchet immediately smashed it down with their hammers.

"Boom!" The explosives bag with the green smoke flew out in the air.

But the green smoke seemed to explode in the air without exception, and the explosion caught the Arabs who got up in the morning a little unprepared. Countless things with small sharp thorns flew out, and the huge explosion burst through them, large enough to tear people off their warhorses.

Joseph saw through the telescope that the explosion was carrying a shockwave. And with the explosion, a large number of black dots burst out. Joseph didn't know what it was, and he certainly didn't dare ask. At this time, Li Hu lost his previous giggle and his attitude was extremely serious. And the eyes are very scary, a bit like a tiger.

The Mamluk cavalry charging in the smoke and dust, many of them felt like they were flying. Others felt that something had been nailed into their body, but with the protection of the hard armor, it wasn't very deep and didn't seem to hurt much.

But War Horses are not like people, and those little things make them miserable.
