“...... Damn it. ”

Seeing this scene, the Dark Elf's forward commander knew that his odds had been reduced again. And his first array is absolutely finished.

One of the disadvantages of the Dark Elves' strict hierarchy and the division of armies into three, six, nine, and so on is the low combat effectiveness and morale of the legionary infantry, who are regarded as the weakest, the worst treated, and the least weaponized.

Although these guys are also trained according to the standards of the regular army, they cannot continue to fight in the face of more than half of the casualties, as these units are now, and they can continue to fight despite the rain of bullets and bullets.

So, it is a great pity that after the artillery bombardment of the Hereford family, the already crumbling infantry regiment was crushed by a round of cuirassiers.

Although the saber-wielding cuirassiers' impact and charge were not as powerful as the lancers, they were still cavalry, and their horses could still inflict great damage when they charged and their hooves trampled.

Especially their opponents, those of the Ottoman infantry, their main infantry were armed with scimitars and shields, as well as halberds.

Although in melee combat, these two weapons work together to exert much more power than the super-long spear. But when it comes to resisting cavalry charges, these guys are no better than pikemen. After all, these guys don't have long enough weapons.

In this way, several companies of the first regiment collapsed in an instant, and several companies completely lost their formation and organization. Although these guys still resist in vain, they will definitely collapse in the shortest possible time in the face of the sabrene-wielding cuirassiers.

And in fact, it was true, after the cuirassiers of the Hereford family were slashed and slaughtered, the entire first array, the full infantry regiment of 1,500 men, collapsed.

Hundreds of routers dropped their weapons, cried and turned to flee backwards.

This left the commander of the Hereford family, Colonel David, somewhat speechless.

The opposing side still outnumbered two infantry battalions. Although some of them were archers and musketeers who could not engage in close combat, infantry armed with scimitars, shields, and halberds were still a great threat to the Herefords.

In this case, the other party didn't struggle much and collapsed directly. Is......

"The other side is the legionnaires. Next to Colonel David, the Crimean Khan said calmly: "The troops made up of civilians have neither the spirit of contract like the mercenary troops, nor the treatment like the professional troops of the empire. These guys can fight to this extent, and one is enough to be worthy of their military salary of fifty copper per month. ”

“...... Yes. I see. Colonel David nodded. Then, instead of ordering his own cavalry units to continue the pursuit, he withdrew the cavalry. Because he had already seen that the second array of the new Ottoman army, had been loaded with bullets. These guys, armed with flintlock pistols and scimitars hanging from their waists, are definitely much more fierce than the legionary infantry in front. In this case, Colonel David believed that they would definitely be able to do something that opened fire on their own people.

Expecting to crash the enemy's array with a rout and cause a chain reaction of total collapse is just a casual fantasy when bored, and it is absolutely impossible to really realize.

"So, what we have to do now is steady, steady. Colonel David said to the Crimean Khan: "Your Majesty's tactics have proven to be very effective, and the tactics of artillery combined with cavalry assault can exert maximum power on flat terrain." As long as we keep this momentum going, we can wipe out all the enemies. ”

“...... That's true, that's right. Although slightly uneasy about the fighting power displayed by the Hereford family's army, the Khan of Crimea nodded and agreed with Colonel David's assertion.

The battle was completely different from what he had imagined, the clash of steel, gunpowder and metal, human body and blood, fighting with all his might, roaring like a beast, giving it a go...... This is how he remembered the war, as if he had experienced the first major war before, that is, the second great border war.

"It looks like there's still a lot to learn...... Even from the enemy. He thought to himself.

Although he had long given up his revenge on the Hereford family, for the sake of his position and power, the Crimean Khan still had to keep trying.

"If the Tartalya Khanate cannot be restored, then it is better to build a country stronger than him with the help of human power. And what I want to do is to become the ruling class of this country, to become an aristocracy...... Even if you can't become an emperor, or a king, you must be second only to that guy. ”

He swore in his heart.

That is, at the same time as Crimean Khan thought so in his heart, the dark elf commander on the opposite side had a gloomy face and could almost burst out of water.

"Really...... Bastard. "An infantry regiment was easily defeated by the other side, and it didn't even play a role, and it barely consumed much of the opponent's troops.

Even if they were the worst of the legionnaires, such losses would be too ......

The Dark Elf's forward commander forced himself not to think about such a thing, and then continued to give orders-

Despite his second array, the Forces nouvelles infantry regiment was much more elite than the enemy. These Praetorian Guards, trained from an early age and similar to the Mamluk system, had much stronger morale than ordinary armies, both in terms of personal martial arts and loyalty.

But, after all, they are not dark elves.

The commander of the Dark Elves was not very comfortable with such an army. He doubted that this army would be able to withstand such an onslaught under the attack of the enemy.

"In that case, don't try it at all. The Commander of the Dark Elves thought to himself.

Immediately afterward, he sent out the 16th Cavalry Regiment of the Turks, one of the two cavalry units under his command.

A total of 600 cavalry, the target of the attack was the artillery positions of the forward army of the Hereford family. Armed with wooden wedges and mallets, they were able to block the doors of those guns in the shortest possible time, rendering these expensive and dangerous guns useless.

Only, of course, there is a prerequisite for this, and that is that his cavalry can rush in front of the enemy.

And now it seems that it is very difficult to achieve this condition.

Especially in the case of the forward corps of the Hereford family, where there was a cavalry regiment to guard the artillery positions.

The artillerymen were very safe.

After seeing the opposing cavalry dispatch, the two light cavalry battalions were immediately sent out. Stopped the remnants of the enemy's cavalry regiments.

The Turkic cavalry, armed with scimitars and round shields, wearing composite armor with plate chains and pointed helmets, quickly rushed to the ground with the light cavalry armed with cuirass and swords. The former's equestrian and martial arts skills are even better. But the latter was more disciplined and more neatly formed, and under the dense array, raising the saber in his hand, almost formed a moving metal wall of Hereford family light cavalry, almost in an instant, the enemy troops on the opposite side of the loose array broke through a gap...... Then there was the one-sided slaughter, and the useless but very stubborn resistance of the Turkic cavalry.

Seeing this, the commander of the dark elves almost did not hesitate, and quickly, immediately sent the remaining Levantine cavalry in his hands out.

Dressed in the white robes characteristic of the Levantines, the horsemen also covered their faces, the chain mail inside blended with the robes, and only the two eyes were exposed, shouting loudly, riding their fast horses, and rushing towards the battlefield.

Along with their charge, one remaining cavalry battalion of the hussar regiment, as well as a company of guards cavalry, also rushed out. All members joined the battlefield.

The largest cavalry battle of the battle began. The cavalry on both sides fought desperately, the swords flashing, and the horses roared. Heads rolling......

Although the commander of the Dark Elves believed that even with the addition of these six or seven hundred cavalry, most of them were no match for the Hereford Light Cavalry - those cavalry were almost comparable to the best palace guard cavalry, or the elite cavalry units of the Dark Elves.

Sensing the gap between the quality of his troops and the enemy, the Dark Elf Commander sighed secretly, feeling very unhappy at the same time.

If the battle goes on like this, then he loses. If the whole war goes according to this, then the dark elves will lose.

In any case, the Dark Elves need to continue to learn from the human world, to make better muskets and artillery, and to learn the advanced training methods of the human world, as well as the way the army is formed.

"When you go back, you have to persuade Su Dan no matter what, you have to send spies, you have to buy the traitors of the Hereford family, you have to get the military technology of the Hereford family, because these guys are the most warlike of the human race. ”

Perhaps, after this war, the name of the Hereford family will go abroad and be known by more people. ”

But of course, this has little to do with the current battle.

Although he felt in his heart that this battle was probably worse, the commander of the dark elf side still tried desperately to save something.

It was at the same time that he sent out all his vassal cavalry to attack the artillery positions of the Hereford family, and he began to order the infantry units forward. The 9th Infantry Regiment of the New Army, as well as the 4th Janissary Infantry Regiment. An array of 2,500 infantrymen in total began to advance slowly but surely towards the Hereford family's array.

In front of them were nearly 2,000 Hereford family cavalry that had suffered slight losses after previous Ranger battles. Including a discontent cuirsier regiment, a dissatisfied lancer regiment, and a dissatisfied revolver battalion. The quality of these troops is not much different from theirs, and they are slightly inferior in number. Despite his strength in melee combat, he is not equipped with any gunpowder weapons other than pistols.

In this case, the Dark Elf general thinks that there is still hope for him, and that he still has a chance of victory. As long as you calculate your chances, form an array, shoot, and you can win!
