"For the king's sake, forward!"

Soon after the Xia infantry attacked, the troops of the Polish-Lithuanian Federation also began to advance on Ottoman positions.

Chanting slogans for the sake of the king and religious connotations, they continued to advance under the bombardment of Ottoman artillery, which rained down from time to time, taking several lives and splattering blood and flesh in a terrifying manner.

The Ottoman artillery fire did not stop the advance of the allied infantry, and the infantry quickly came within range of the Ottoman arquebuses in the face of the sparse shells.

The Ottomans had a large area of spikes in front of the repulsion of horses, so the coalition forces could not send cavalry to force the assault on the position, so they could only allow the infantry to pass through the repulsion formation and engage the enemy.

As soon as the coalition forces came within range, the Ottoman soldiers raised their guns and fired volleys at the enemy, following the tactics of the European-style infantry.

Bang bang bang –

The advancing coalition infantry only saw a row of sparks lit up on the opposite side, and the projectiles flew in pieces, and dozens of soldiers walking in the front were immediately shot and fell to the ground.

The coalition infantry struggled their way through the rejection formation, and the sappers with axes capable of destroying the rejection followed closely behind them, swinging their axes under the cover of friendly forces and slashing at the rejection horses to dismantle them.

On the Xia army's side, the line infantry advanced with a slow shooting tactic under the orders of the officer, and after the first row of soldiers fired a volley, the robes behind them followed with a neat step forward ten steps and raised their guns to shoot.

The Xia's Advance Shooting tactics allowed them to maintain their firepower while pushing forward and closing the distance to the Ottomans.

This was quickly noticed by the Ottoman army, and the officers on the front line shouted loudly and ordered the muzzles of the artillery to be turned around, aiming at the advancing Xia army, and after firing the solid shells in the barrels, the gunners turned to reload the artillery with shotguns, trying to kill a large number of shotguns after the Xia army approached.

"Speed up and tear down these rejections!"

The guns and cannons in front of him continued, and in the rejection of the horse, the Xia army engineer desperately waved the axe to dismantle the obstacle rejection horse, and at this moment, a cannonball flew over the head of the advancing Xia army soldiers, and smashed heavily in the working engineers, which immediately destroyed several rejection horses and killed several engineers.

"Gan Linniang, who is Xiyi's artillery hitting?"

Looking at the robes that fell under the shelling, the sappers cursed and quickened the movements of their hands, and under their hard work, this piece of rejected horses was finally cleared, and the Xia cavalry who were watching from the rear also received the order to attack.

"Brethren, check your weapons and prepare to attack!"

In the cavalry formation of the Xia Army, which received the order to attack, Ma Bao, the commander of the 1st Cavalry Brigade, and Cao Dahao, the commander of the 2nd Cavalry Brigade, waved their sabers in their hands and shouted orders to their subordinates.

The cavalrymen checked the cavalry-style carbines in their hands according to their orders to make sure that the carbines did not jam during the shooting, and after making sure that there was no problem, they carried the carbines on their backs and prepared for the attack.

"Let's go!"

The two brigade commanders roared and led the horses forward, and the Cossack cavalry followed the horses, and in order to save horsepower, they would all advance on foot until they were shelled by enemy artillery.

At the same time as the cavalry set off, the Xia infantry using the Xu Jin shooting tactics finally advanced to a distance of less than fifty meters from the Ottoman infantry, and they no longer used the Xu Jin shooting tactics at this time, but resumed the queue, reloading the rifles unhurriedly under the Ottoman fire, and only continued to advance after the loading was completed.

Pedal Pedal –

Fifty meters.

Forty meters.

Thirty meters.

In the face of the Ottoman fire, the Xia line gradually advanced to a distance of thirty meters, and then, the officers shouted loudly, and the soldiers stopped their steps, raised their rifles in unison, and once again aimed the Ottoman infantry with the black muzzle.

"Fire—"

Bang bang bang –

A series of sparks erupted, and the dense barrage of bullets shot out suddenly killed a piece of Ottoman infantry

After the salvo was fired, the soldiers in the second row, who raised their muzzles over the shoulders of the front row, pulled the trigger and fired a new volley.

Under the close-range salvo of the Xia army, the Ottoman infantry on the position was quickly crushed, and the dense barrage composed of three consecutive salvos harvested a large number of Ottoman infantry who lined up with them to shoot.

Subsequently, the Xia infantry raised their bayonets and shouted to charge the Ottoman infantry who were shaken, and the tactics of three rounds of close-to-face salvo + bayonet charge directly routed the Ottoman infantry, and the Ottoman infantry screamed and retreated.

Seeing this, the officers hurriedly brandished their sabers and shouted to order the rout to stop fleeing, turned to meet the enemy, and saw that the infantry turned a deaf ear to their reprimands, and those officers, in order to prevent the collapse of the entire front, could only order the artillery to aim at the charging Xia army, regardless of the enemy and us.

Boom –

After the sound of cannons, countless dense shotguns swept towards the crowd in the shape of fans, whether it was the Ottoman soldiers who fled in terror or the Xia soldiers who pursued with guns, they all fell one after another under the harvest of the shotguns like ears of rice after autumn.

"Damn, are the artillerymen crazy? Actually fired at us!"

Looking at the soldiers who had fallen in the shelling, those who had not been affected by the shotgun cursed loudly in horror, cursing as they continued to retreat backwards.

The Xia army was not routed by the shotgun bombardment, but they were enraged by the casualties caused by the shotgun, and the soldiers who did not fall roared and trampled on the corpses on the ground and continued to charge.

"Stop them! Shoot!"

Bang bang bang –

In the face of the Xia army's charge, the Ottoman second-line troops were replenished in time, and they also did not care about the enemy and us, so they raised their guns and fired a volley in the direction of the Xia army.

The Xia infantry was shot and fell to the ground from time to time under their fire, and they still rushed forward with a shout, and the Ottoman reinforcements fell into hand-to-hand combat, and the infantry of the Xia army line generally retained the protection of armor, so in hand-to-hand combat, compared with the Ottoman army without armor, they obviously had a certain advantage in hand-to-hand combat.

Rumble –

While the infantry of the two sides were fighting, the Xia cavalry, led by Ma Bao and Cao Dahao, continued to increase their speed, and finally crossed the destroyed anti-horse position and charged the Ottoman position.

Although the Ottoman infantry noticed the attacking cavalry, they were all entangled by the Xia infantry and could not form an effective counter-formation, so they could only watch in despair as the Xia cavalry rushed into the position brandishing their sabers.

Marbao took the lead, swinging his saber and slashing the arm of a Moldavian soldier who tried to shoot at him, driving his horse to continue to run forward, and the cavalry behind him followed closely with the mending sword, cutting off the head of the soldier who had lost his arm and was still wailing, ending his suffering.

The cavalry rushed into the position like a red torrent, and in the face of the menacing cavalry, where did the Ottoman artillery still have a firm will to keep them at their posts, and most of the artillery did not even bother to open fire, they turned and fled, trying to escape before the cavalry.

The horses and the Xia cavalry jumped up, crossed the artillery positions of the Turkish army (later called the Ottoman army, distinguished from Austria), and slashed the slow Turkish artillery with their sabers.

Under the fierce offensive of the Xia army, the Turkish army's defense line was defeated one after another, and the strength of the Xia army surprised Koplalu Mustafa, although he knew that the Xia army's combat effectiveness should not be underestimated, but he did not expect it to be so terrifying.

In contrast, the army of the Polish-Lithuanian Confederation behaved very unremarkably, and although the Polish army also attacked, their offensive was thwarted, and instead of attacking into the position like the Xia army, they were blocked out, and after no progress in the exchange of fire, they chose to take up arms in hand-to-hand combat.

The battle lasted for several hours, and as time passed, dusk was about to fall, and both sides withdrew their troops and stopped fighting.

In the dull sound of the trumpet, the coalition army retreated like a tide, leaving corpses everywhere, but the Xia army did not retreat, and they still firmly occupied the Turkish positions that they had fought over.

After several counterattacks to regain their positions were repulsed, the Turkish army had to reluctantly admit that they could not recapture their positions and could only watch

Watching the Xia army occupy their position, showing off their might.

"It seems that we have encountered hard stubble, and in the next battle, we must focus our defense on the side of the Chinese, and the army of the Polish-Lithuanian Federation is not to worry."

On the city wall, looking at the positions occupied by the Xia army, Koprulu Mustafa said in a low tone, he had witnessed the whole battle with his own eyes.

"Koprulu Pasha, we can't let the Chinese be so arrogant, I propose to gather a crack army and take advantage of the night to launch a night attack on the positions they have taken, even if they can't recapture the positions, they can kill and wound their soldiers and rub their prestige." One of the generals proposed.

Muskafa listened to his proposal, thought thoughtfully, and then agreed to the other man's words, and ordered the army to assemble soldiers without night blindness and prepare for a surprise attack at night.

The Turkish army was very efficient, and soon after the order was given, a force of 800 elite soldiers was concentrated in the army, and Koplulu then inspected the state of the army with the generals.

Seeing that the morale of the elite soldiers had not been affected by the daytime battle, everyone had their heads held high and their morale was high, and he nodded with satisfaction, and ordered eight hundred sets of armor to be put on them, so that they could rest in advance and wait for the arrival of night.

On the other side, the Polish-Lithuanian federal army, Jan Sobiesky, learned that the Xia army had made progress and occupied a position, but they could only return in vain, leaving the corpses on the ground in vain, and immediately became a little annoyed.

He was unwilling to be compared to Xia Jun like this, and at the same time, he also wanted to show his ability in front of Xia Jun to see if he could get Xia Jun's assistance in the future.

So, Sobiesky quickly came up with a plan, and he coincided with the Ottomans' ideas, and also thought of taking advantage of the cover of night to carry out a night attack.

However, in comparison, his wrist was obviously much larger, because most of the horses in front of the Turkish positions during the day were demolished by them, and the obstacles to the use of cavalry were removed, so he decided to personally lead the famous Polish hussars to launch a surprise attack, and cooperate with the infantry to seize the Turkish positions at night.

However, Sobiesky's plan was not approved by King Michau I, a cowardly king who did not consider a night raid a good plan, fearing that the night raid would fail, and instead lose his elite hussars.

Although Sobiesky was full of disdain and disgust at King Mihau I's worries, he still resisted his impatience and patiently persuaded the king, and pulled other nobles who supported him to persuade him together.

In the midst of their dry mouths, the king, though still full of apprehension, reluctantly agreed to Sobiesky's plan.

The Xia army did not know the plans of the friendly and enemy forces, but the troops deployed in the positions increased their vigilance at night out of caution.

The time soon came to the early hours of the morning, seeing that the night was getting darker and darker, and it was almost impossible to see the five fingers, both the Turkish and Polish troops coincidentally chose to start the operation at this time.

In the Xia army's position, the soldier in charge of the sentry was holding a loaded rifle, standing on the periphery of the position, his eyes were fixed on the direction of the Turkish army's position, although the surrounding light was dim, and everywhere he looked was pitch black, he still stared wide, trying to search for any movement that might have been overlooked.

At this moment, he vaguely seemed to hear a rustling sound in the distance, which made him instantly raise his vigilance, raise his rifle, and aim the muzzle of the gun in the direction from which the movement came.

At the same time, he glanced around him, trying to find his comrades nearby, but soon, he realized that he had made a fatal mistake, and in such a situation, he was likely to be exploited by the enemy.

However, by the time he reacted, it was too late, and an arrow pierced through the night and flew towards him at high speed under the cover of the night.

The soldier only saw a shadow rapidly enlarged in his vision, and the next second, the arrow shot directly through his throat, the soldier's pupils dilated suddenly, and the screams were stuck in his throat, and the whole person fell on his back.

At the moment when the soldier fell, his finger on the trigger of the rifle was unconsciously pressed, and immediately after, a crisp sound of gunfire instantly pierced the silence of the night.

"Enemy attack—"

A sharp roar followed, and the sentries on the night patrol instantly entered a state of combat readiness, and those lightly sleeping Xia infantry were also awakened by the sudden sound of gunfire, and hurriedly got up and took their respective weapons.

The Turkish army squad outside the position saw that the night attack was discovered, and decided to launch a strong attack, they took their bows and arrows, and sent a round of dense arrow rain to the position, shooting and killing many Xia infantry exposed to the light source of the torches, and then drew their swords, lowered their bodies and rushed forward.

Immediately, the Xia infantry with projectiles in the chamber raised their guns and fired back, and for a while the gunfire was loud, and the movement of the battle here was also faintly transmitted to the Polish army who were rushing to the target of the attack.

Sobiesky listened attentively, vaguely heard the constant sound of gunfire, and he was keenly aware that fierce fighting was also taking place elsewhere, but it was not clear whether the Xia army was attacking or the Turkish army was engaged in the battle.

In any case, this did not stop them from attacking, and with a wave of Sobiesky's hand, the horse's hooves wrapped in thick cloth, the weakened Polish cavalry once again slaughtered the Turkish position.
