To tell the truth, the combat effectiveness of the reformed army corps units of the Ottoman Empire was quite good. The www.biquge.info of Pen Fun Pavilion are professional soldiers in their own right, and with the right weaponry and the right tactics, they become an army that is not strong enough, but comprehensive enough to not fall behind in the face of any enemy.

In fact, if the person in charge of the Ottoman Empire was William, then he would never regard the development of the Dark Elves or the War Machine Force of the New Army as a route and national policy.

Because although they are superior in combat, they are too expensive and too rare. It is not suitable for existence as a standing army.

He will vigorously develop these army corps.

In fact, with the national strength and manpower of the Ottoman Empire, they could mobilize and arm more than 400,000 of the most elite reform army corps.

As long as there are enough reward mechanisms, rather than simply using these army corps as cannon fodder and second-rate armies, then these armies will definitely explode with very strong combat effectiveness. Now, then, the military crisis of the Ottoman Empire can naturally be solved.

Of course, it was just a matter of saying that the time had not yet been filed, and he believed that there were very few rulers in this world who could do all this. After all, to be able to do all this is equivalent to reshaping the order of the entire Ottoman Empire.

In the absence of a comprehensive reform, a mere reform of the military system can only turn into a catastrophe. It is only natural that an army that does not match its status and actual power will launch a rebellion and overthrow the ruling class of the empire.

So, what is really right is to launch a comprehensive reform, a comprehensive reform of all the policies of the Ottoman Empire.

Of course, this is not accepted by vested interests, especially the Dark Elves. These guys don't even accept children who are mixed with humans and are born later. Even the poorest and most embarrassed Dark Elves would not marry the most powerful and powerful humans. In this case, it is completely inconceivable that these dark elves will accept any kind of reform.

"So, dark elves, the Ottoman Empire is finished, properly finished, no one, no power, no effort can keep this empire alive. William thought to himself.

Even if these bastards finally win this battle, or even the entire war, even if these guys then occupy the whole of Zoroaster, and even control the vast territory of Indy, their final result will definitely be defeat, and they will definitely be wiped out by the more powerful, latecomer conqueror, the human empire. Or be crushed, divided, and destroyed by the turmoil from below.

This is the ultimate fate of the Dark Elves.

Although the war was still ongoing, William's eyes had already seen through the fog of history, and saw what it would look like in the coming decades, a hundred years, and even hundreds of years from now.

In any case, he is the victor, in any case, even the Ottoman Empire, which now looks very powerful, very crazy, and even very rampant dark elves.

Over time, this empire will become weaker and weaker. In the end, they will be completely annihilated, and eventually they will become an insignificant second-rate, or even third-rate country. I can only think of delusions that I can't help myself, and at the same time remember the glory of the past or something.

"Of course, even so, I didn't think about losing this battle!" William thought to himself, then gritted his teeth and ordered the artillery to bombard the forward line indiscriminately-

"But there are our own people up ahead!" a staff officer beside him looked at William with some incredulity, and then said.

"They are new annexes, they are Cossacks. They are not our own, at least not for the time being - since these guys claim to be loyal, and since these guys want to get closer to us and want to be part of the Empire, let them prove their loyalty themselves!"

William stared at the staff officer so hard that he shuddered at the poor young man.

In this way, William's order was carried out in the shortest possible time. The Imperial front was gradually stabilized - large numbers of their own soldiers were bombarded into the sky by the artillery units of the Hereford family along with the enemy soldiers - under such indiscriminate bombardment. The Hereford family's troops could look for trenches and anti-artillery holes to prevent accidental injury, but the other side couldn't.

In this way, the units of the Reform Army Corps, which were not too strong in the first place to fight, collapsed in the shortest possible time. The strength of several regiments turned into cannon fodder, and thousands of corpses fell. At the same time, more soldiers retreated.

"These bastards, why don't you charge?!The other party's front is already in chaos, as long as you continue to charge, you can win!Why don't those bastards charge?!" On the other side, in the army of the dark elves, the female Sudan Fatima, who watched the change in the situation of the battle, gritted her teeth and shouted angrily.

Of course, it is true that the Empire is at a disadvantage at the moment, as she said. If it weren't for this wave of indiscriminate bombardment, the Army Corps would have won.

But that's just how unfortunate it was.

"Kill them, kill those cowards. "After mercilessly giving the battlefield discipline order, Nu Sudan immediately ordered the new troops to attack-

A New Army regiment quickly struck the front line of the frightened Hereford Expeditionary Force. These war machine-like soldiers have no fear of casualties and no regard for death. Even though the Hereford family used indiscriminate artillery bombardment again, they still took the line down.

At the same time, the cavalry battles on the flanks were also nearing the end. The cavalry cluster of the Hereford family was ultimately unable to withstand the camel cavalry of the Levantines. After a period of resistance had to retreat - or rather flee back.

In this way, at great cost of casualties, the Ottoman army finally captured the first line of defense of the Hereford family.

Shortly after that, night fell. The second line of defense of the Hereford House Expeditionary Force was attacked by a night attack by the Dark Elf army. After the crude oil was ignited and a wall of fire was formed to neutralize the enemy's pursuit, the line of defense also changed hands.

Then came the next day's battle. The Ottoman army continued its onslaught despite casualties. This time, the army of the dark elves finally launched an attack during the day.

Led by cavalry units, followed by a large number of flintlock pikemen armed to the teeth - both the New Army soldiers and the Dark Elves. These armies braved the artillery of the Hereford Family Expeditionary Force and marched forward in great strides. After a heavy volley, a bayonet charge was launched.

Seeing that the third line of defense was crumbling, William immediately made a decision and dispatched the Praetorian Cavalry and the Legion Cavalry.

Led by musketeers. Cavalry units of the regular army stormed from the flanks.

Despite the orders of the female Sudan Fatima immediately, a mixed force of the remaining Turkic cavalry and the Levantine camel cavalry launched a counterattack against William's legion cavalry and Praetorian cavalry.

But it was pointless, the dense musket fire, combined with the assault of the lancers, quickly overwhelmed the cavalry of the Turks and the Levants. Then, the cavalry group that came from the flanks greatly disrupted the infantry cluster formed by the dark elves and the new army troops. At the same time, the artillery units of the Hereford family increased the rate of fire. Ignoring the risk of exploding, the shells rained down on their heads like hail of steel. Those shrapnel that scattered countless steel balls after the explosion gave the opponent's dense array great damage.

In this case, despite the Dark Elf troops and the New Army, they were still able to hold on. But their tactical goal of attacking the Hereford Family Expeditionary Force was already difficult to achieve.

Seeing that their own troops suffered heavy losses, and that there was no tactical point to speak of. Although the female Sudan Fatima on the opposite side was unhappy and unwilling, she still ordered her army to retreat temporarily. Recuperate.

After all, for the Ottoman Empire, both the New Army and the Dark Elf Praetorian Guard are really important descendants, and the heavy casualties will naturally make people feel heartache.

And just like that, the daytime battle ended the next day. By the night of the next day, the Dark Elves had launched another night attack.

Despite the resistance of the Hereford family expeditionary force, it was even more stubborn than yesterday. But to no avail.

The end result of the battle was still the victory of the dark elves of the Ottoman Empire. It was only because of the oil defense line and the flames that they could not expand their gains.

And just like that, the time came to daylight on the third day. Both sides, William's army and the Ottoman army, were already tired, or very tired.

In the previous assault, the Ottomans had eliminated two Reform Army legions and two New Army legions, while one Dark Elf legion suffered heavy losses. Plus the losses of the previous month, as well as the losses of the cavalry of the Levantine, Turkic peoples. Half of the 200,000-strong army of the Ottoman Empire has actually disappeared.

On the other hand, of course, the Hereford family's army also suffered heavy casualties. Most of the nearly 200,000 new annexed troops lost their combat effectiveness. There were even some small tribes of men who were all dead.

If it weren't for the fact that these guys were less combative, and the rest of the Hereford family looked at them more closely, these guys would have been scattered by now.

But even so, in the next war, it is still unknown whether these guys will sell their strength, and how much strength.

The same casualties, barely better, were the Cossack troops.

Although they were also "looked at differently" by William, the atmosphere in their army was much more stable than that of the new annexed army.

In William's opinion, this is the difference between a domesticated dog and a wolf.

However, it is also unknown whether the Cossack army, which lost half of its strength, will still be able to fight.

Finally, William's main force, the two steppe legions, and his Praetorian Cavalry Brigade, of 35,000 men, still had 30,000 men in good condition and sufficient physical strength. At the same time, under William's deliberate assurance, their bullets were also prepared to fight two or even three battles.

This is William's trump card, and it is also the guarantee that William still has the confidence to win this war!
