Chapter 25 Kurdish Cavalry (Part 2)

 The bombardment of the naval guns bombarded for an hour, and then the Kurdish camp on the shore was in chaos. Not only that, the camp also ignited a raging fire!

It is still early spring, and the first rain in spring has not yet come down. In Sabilabad, which has dried up for several months, a Martian can ignite the dry reeds and dead grass on the shore, let alone the densely populated camp?

Of course, the thirty artillery of just five ships would not cause a fatal blow to the camp, but the roar of the steam engine on the ship and the fear of the artillery exploding over them at any time still shocked them, so they had to transfer to the camp overnight.

Before dawn.

When they had just moved the camp to the south of Sabilabad City, Chitard arrived!

Although they were afraid of the enemy's ships and the artillery on the ship, they also believed that these five ships would not be able to accommodate many people, which means they would not go ashore.

So when they re-established in the south of the city, they did not think of building a formal camp, but were roughly gathered together according to the positions of the tenth chief, the centurion, and the thousands of chiefs.

Since the whole city's attention was attracted by the five large ships, they ignored the alert on the outer land, so when Qitad arrived with his two thousand people and Paul's two thousand people, they did not notice it at all.

Along the way, they naturally encountered many villages, but for ordinary people in Azerbaijani, the ones who were killed by Qitad were all nobles. Raphael also announced the restoration of their civilian status and the taxes were greatly reduced.

Although the Persians had a deeper influence on them, they were not so big that they ran to the point where Sabilabad informed Faisal.

So when Qitade's four thousand cavalry arrived here, the road was unobstructed.

In April, the Transcaucasus was only about ten degrees at dawn. The cold wind blowing from the Caucasus mountains and the gusts of wind coming from the Caspian Sea are intertwined from time to time, making his big rings rush.

"Paul!"

As soon as they arrived, they woke up the messy Kurdish cavalry outside the city. However, they were still in a mess with ignorance and sleepy eyes.

Some were so scared that they ran around, some were shouting their names, and some were looking for the wrong horse in panic.

Seeing this, Qitad let Paul's two thousand cavalry take the lead in launching the attack!

Although there are as many as 10,000 people outside the city, in this case, even if they barely organize it, it will be vulnerable.

The Kurdish cavalry, known as light cavalry, inherited the hard-working and hard-working Arab cavalry, able to attack and chase the enemy in the desert, but they only had a scimitar in their hands.

Qitade himself did not move.

During this month, he had figured out the arrangement of Faisal.

In the city, there are five thousand heavy cavalry whom he is proud of, all with armored armor!

Of course, with the ability of the Kurds at this time, although there were farmers and craftsmen in Tabriz to serve them, they could only build two thousand real heavy cavalry with plate chain armor, and three thousand were formed imitated by the European Dragoons.

Each person has a mesh gun and a scimitar.

But even these two thousand chain armored cavalry have also paid great attention to Qitade.

This is because, among this Kurdish heavy cavalry, there is a winged cavalry that escaped from Poland!

The heavy cavalry, two-meter-long cavalry, was still very scary when they were rushing together.

However, what is beneficial to him was that the heavy cavalry could only gather together to fight, because the cavalry wearing heavy armor could not last long, and they also rely on their sharp spirit to "be successful if they fail."

Once they are left alone, they are in a state of slaughter, and at this time, the light cavalry can easily deal with them.

Just as Paul's two thousand cavalry were killing all over the world in the messy Kurdish light cavalry camp, Qitad waited quietly.

He was waiting for the heavy cavalry in the city, and he believed that Faisal would not sit idly by and watch his light cavalry be killed.

Sure enough, not long after, the south gate of Sabilabad City opened, and a large group of cavalry came out!

The reason why Faisal came out after a long time was because he had been observing the city wall. When he saw the red-bottomed golden dragon in Qitad not far away, he could no longer hold it back.

Five thousand people are dispatched in full!

He rushed towards Paul with three thousand Kurdish cavalry, while his bravest general Saladin rushed straight towards Qitad!

At this time, Qitade and others were wearing cotton armor that had not yet officially left the barracks, in order to effectively face teams like the Persians and Ottomans that still had heavy cavalry. If they only faced Europeans, they wouldn't have to do so.

It was bright and when the morning sun shone on him, a warm feeling couldn't help but surge into his heart.

In the sun, in the fields that have not yet been cultivated, two thousand two feet long spears are all in one color, and heavy cavalrymen with chain armor are shining with a breathtaking light.

Such a long spear is a must-try to hit one shot, but such a spear also makes them unable to turn at all, so they can only rush forward straight, leaving enough space between the two rows.

But the problem arises again. Once the cavalry in the first row is injured and killed, it will inevitably affect the cavalry behind them. The fallen war horses will cause their formation to be disrupted, and too long guns will also cause them to injure themselves.

So, they can only succeed, not fail!

This is the first time that the Truchen cavalry has seen such a formation and equipment. When two thousand such cavalry hit the face, it is impossible to say that there is no trace of fear.

However, Qitad was not completely unconsidered.

First, his two thousand cavalry were arranged in the fields. Since it was in the fields, it would not be as flat as in the wild, but rather as ravines. It is natural for light cavalry to be scattered formations, but it is impossible for heavy cavalry to be completely unaffected once they step into here.

Second, if he still faces the hedge as before, even with the protection of the field terrain and the existence of the rotary pistol, the fate will definitely be very miserable.

Fortunately, he also has a new rifle!

A new type of rifle with three copper shell bullets!

The effective range of this kind of rifle can reach 500 meters. Although its lethality is not as good as that of the regular rifles in later generations, it is already a terrifying existence at this time.

If the Kurds' heavy cavalry want to reach them, they must cross a field that lasts a mile!

Naturally, they have no concept of a musket with a range of up to one mile. In their minds, only the Ottoman gun that is as long as one meter and requires more than two people to control can be achieved.

But if this kind of gun is used by cavalry, it would be a joke.

So, they stepped into the field without hesitation.

Since Qitad was also in the team, the Truqin Hussars were slightly calmer.

Three hundred meters!

According to Qitad's idea, if the other party uses a new rifle to shoot as soon as he stepped into the field, it is very likely that the heavy cavalry behind him will be scared away. However, if some of them step into the field, although the cavalry in the front is shot, the people behind him will be unknown and continue to rush forward.

So, at this distance, the five hundred riders in the front fired the first shot!

Then there is the second shot, the third shot!

Although the Kurdish heavy cavalry was close together, it also brought the effect of the Truchen soldiers shooting with rifles. The heavy cavalry was roughly 200 people in a row, with a total of about ten rows of longitudinal formations, while the Truchen Hussars had 500 people in each row, and only four rows were lined up!

With the advantage of the number of people, plus three bullets, after three shots, almost all the heavy cavalry in the front were knocked down to the ground.

The lucky one rushed over was also hit by the Hussar's revolver.

If the Hussars were holding the previous flintlock gun or the paper-shelled bullet wheel pistol at this time, the range of the fire could not be enough to reach these cavalrymen in front of the sudden, but the range of the rotary gun that replaced the copper-shelled bullet almost reached the distance of the flintlock guns in the past and back!

A large number of horses rushing to the ground blocked the heavy cavalry coming one after another, but they had no choice but to rush forward desperately. However, due to the obstacles of the horses, their speed inevitably slowed down, and there were a large number of heavy cavalry behind them!

"Ah!"

At this time, the spear of the cavalry behind inevitably stabbed the cavalry in front or the war horse, which once again aggravated their chaos.

At this moment, the two rows of 1,000 people behind the Truqin Hussars had been divided into two teams of five hundred and surrounded them from their wings.

They still held rifles and stopped when they approached the chaotic heavy cavalry about three hundred meters.

New line-up shooting has begun.

The cavalry on the flanks fell down one after another. This time, the Hussars did not focus on aiming at the heavy cavalry, but aimed at their horses!

As the war horses fell to the ground one after another, it made it impossible for them to protrude from their wings to fight. A large number of fallen war horses once again affected their actions, and once they rushed out of the flanks regardless of their concern, they would aggravate their chaos.

However, they still have another chance to rush out of the slaughter battlefield, that is, the Hussars at the end throw away the guns, then rode their horses back, and even pulled out their spare scimitars to rush towards the Hussars on both sides.

However, in this way, they will not form a complete formation, and such a scene has been ignored by the Hussars.

Seeing this, the cavalry on both wings quickly carried the rifle behind him, then held a knife in one hand and a pistol in the other.

And with too many war horses falling down in front, it would be a waste to leave another thousand people here in Qitade.

With his new order issued, Assal took five hundred cavalry around the field and then entered the main battlefield outside the city!

At this time, Paul's two thousand Hussar had already smashed the "Battle of the City" into pieces in the battalion. The three thousand light cavalry led by Faisal had to score their troops if they wanted to attack.

Of course, it is impossible to maintain the establishment of the battalion in such a chaotic battlefield. In the end, it is actually impossible for a cavalry to find his own team.

However, when attacking the Kurdish cavalry who had just fallen asleep outside the city, they did not use the short guns in their hands or the few bullets.
