Chapter 149 Majestic!!
Soon, the offensive and defensive battle between Daming’s firearms army and Mamluk’s cavalry officially began!
This battle was different from the previous battles encountered by the Daming army.
It has distinct regional characteristics!
Previously, Daming soldiers repeatedly pointed flintlock guns at enemy horse cavalry.
And this time, it was the first time they faced indeed camel cavalry.
Camels look taller, stronger and more intimidating.
The defending army, if not courageous, is prone to panic.
At this time, the commander of the second front was a young Ti Cavalry.
Previously, he had studied under Qi Jiguang for a long time, and he had grown up rapidly.
This time, although it was his first time alone.
But he remained calm.
“Array…”
I saw him give an order.
Suddenly.
“Brush!”
In a moment, all the soldiers of the second front had already stood in formation.
The movements are uniform, and the order is prohibited.
The Daming army is of extremely high quality.
It has reached the point where it is almost like an arm’s hand!
“Raise a gun…”
The commander gave the order again.
Suddenly.
A brand new 600-shining flintlock spear was raised.
One by one, the black muzzles were like poisonous snakes that devoured people… Point to the Mamluk camel cavalry who rushed over!
At this time, I saw that the camel cavalry had rushed out of the Cairo gates.
The commander again ordered: “First platoon, shoot!” ”
“Retreat!”
“The back row is the front row…”
Suddenly.
“Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang…”
There was a loud noise almost at the same time, which shook the whole earth, and the soldiers in the first row in front fired a shot.
Then, they all quickly took a few steps back.
Run about 10 meters behind the third row.
As they ran, they reloaded.
When they arrived at their new positions and turned back, they had already loaded their ammunition.
At this time, the soldiers in the second row behind became the front row.
“Shoot!”
“Bang! Bang! Bang…”
They immediately fired a shot.
Then, retreat to the back row.
The purpose of this is to keep as much distance as possible from the camel soldiers.
Extend the duration of firearms attacks.
At the same time, the forces of the third front behind quickly converged.
Soon, the soldiers of the second front used this method, and after several rounds of attack, quickly retreated 50 meters.
By this time, they had already run to the last row of the third front.
The second and third fronts have finally come together completely.
2,000 soldiers again lined up in Platoon B.
666 people per row.
The firepower is twice as strong as before.
The extra 2 people, without affecting the formation, carry out free shooting.
At this time, the Mamluk camel cavalry had rushed about 30 meters in front of the third front.
The huge camel head is already clearly visible.
But Daming’s flintlock gunners remained unfazed.
“Shoot!”
“Retreat!”
“The back row is the front row…”
The battle continues!
“Brush!”
The Daming army raised their guns in unison.
“Bang…”
The soldiers in the first platoon fired a shot.
Then quickly take a few steps back and run behind the B row.
“Bang…”
The soldiers in the second platoon fired their guns again…
In this way, the Daming army carried out shooting, retreating, shooting, retreating in an orderly manner…
The rhythm is clear.
The camel cavalry in front of them fell down one by one in a row…
At the same time, the copper artillery of the Ming army and the divine rocket also opened fire.
“Boom! Rumble! Rumble! Boom…”
For a while, the Mamluk soldiers fell off their camels and suffered heavy losses.
Of course, the target of the copper artillery and divine rocket controlled by Zhu Xiongying himself is still the Cairo city wall.
He was to stop the attack and obstruction of the city wall against Ximen Blowing Snow and them at any time.
The second and third fronts are retreating from the fighting.
Soon retreated in front of Zhu Xiongying.
At this time, more than 6,000 Daming soldiers gathered together to form a solid defensive formation.
And the camel cavalry in the city of Cairo have already rushed out.
However, the matter is not over yet…
“Da-da…”
The sound of thunderous horses’ hooves sounded.
After the camel cavalry, another group of Mamluk horse cavalry rushed out.
They braved the gunfire of Simon Chuixue and his men, and like the camel cavalry, they rushed straight forward.
Zhu Xiongying’s brows frowned slightly.
It also began to bombard the cavalry that rushed out.
At this moment, the trumpet behind Daming sounded.
Countless cavalry, camel soldiers poured in from all directions.
It turned out that the Mamluk Sultan had previously issued orders to the chiefs on all sides of Cairo asking for help.
At this time, reinforcements from the nearby tribes had arrived.
Zhu Xiongying was already prepared.
The 4,000 spearmen who had remained in place formed a square.
It has been lined up in three rows, defending against enemy attacks.
Camel cavalry and horse cavalry, which charged from the front, had to rush through the city gates.
The traffic coming out is stuck by the city gate, so the number is relatively limited.
The cavalry surging from all directions is dominated by militias, and the attack power is not too strong.
Therefore, the Ming army quickly gained a firm position.
Occasionally, cavalry rushed in front of the Ming army.
Either someone shot his head from behind, or the people in the front row directly stabbed him to death with bayonets and picked off the horse.
Zhu Xiongying’s 20% speed acceleration, 20% increase in strength, 20% increase in body strength and other abilities played a key role at this time.
Faster and stronger, allowing many Ming troops to survive at the end of the day.
Many Mamluk soldiers, without perceiving danger, were suddenly killed by an enemy with explosive abilities and fell under their horses.
For a while, the war was raging.
But Zhu Xiongying and his defensive formation.
Like a huge reef in the strait.
Although facing the surging rapids.
But majestically!
