1540 Old Cope Lulu is the God of Dinghai
Before coming, Muhammad IV was fed a lot of spiritual chicken soup by the people around him.
As long as he wins this battle, his achievements will be chasing Mohammed II, who took Constantinople at the age of 21. Mohammed II is also very young. Just as when Muhammed II sent troops to attack Constantinople, his subordinates were frantically fooling him and saying that he was the leader chosen by God and would surely establish great achievements.
Similarly, Muhammad IV also brainwashed himself, believing that he was the chosen one, with the ability to defeat powerful enemies.
They said that there is strong wind because of the mountains. As long as the Sultan is with his army, he will be invincible and show his strength to the enemy to the fullest and make the enemy tremble!
The Emperor's boy is only thirteen years old this year. He immediately pulled out his sword, stretched out diagonally forward, and shouted: "Occurrence! Attack! Attack!"
The Ottoman army acted according to the order, and one square after another started the square formation, but saw flags like clouds and swords and guns, and terrifying square formations were coming straight, without a moment of pause!
They put on a grand task, forming a thick wall of copper and iron walls moving.
"Fire the gun! Fire!" The Southeast Army's artillery used solid bombs to bombard the Turks when they entered a range of 300 meters, confusing their queues.
The shells hit them like arrows leaving the string, smashing them to their heads and blood, and their bones were broken!
The wounded screamed sadly, and the dead were silent.
There were gaps wherever the shells went, and they were soon pushed over the gap. Even if more than 300 marching cannons were fired together, it seemed as if some water splashes were rippling on the water surface and were immediately smoothed out.
"Fight, fight me hard!" The Turks also had artillery, putting the artillery behind the front line of the formation. Hundreds of cannons fired together, and they fired solid bullets, which also caused certain casualties to the Southeast Army, but the effect of the firing was definitely not as good as that of the Southeast Army's cannons.
The supremes on both sides were not satisfied with looking through the telescope. Yan Changwu shook his head and said, "There is no blasting bomb, killing people too slowly!"
Blasting bombs can be said to be shotguns with increased range, and they can be shot from a distance to explode, so that the shotguns can kill the enemy. The current shotguns are shot too close to the barrel after the shotgun is shot.
As for the Sultan, he was even more dissatisfied with the Ottoman side's disadvantage in the artillery battle, which made him unhappy, but he did not say anything smartly. After all, he knew that his industry was backward, and even more than 100 cannons now had to be equipped with it with great effort.
The Southeast Army had marching artillery, which was installed on a wheeled artillery stand, moved with the army, and transported at a faster speed. After arriving at the location, it could be put into combat immediately.
The Turkish cannons were wheelless cannons, which had to be transported on a carriage, which was very inconvenient to use.
But there is no way, the smelting technology determines that the Turkish cannons were too heavy, unlike the Southeast Army's cannons that were light and strong, and could hit farther!
If the Turkish man used light guns, it would be easier to explode the chamber by stuffing gunpowder, and using heavy guns would be unfavorable to maneuver.
Not to mention anything, just a gun stand also shows the technology. The Southeast Army's gun stand was exquisitely manufactured, and it did not crack after running and marching for a long distance. The Turkish people could not even have a suitable gun stand. In addition to the heavy gun body, their quality was not as good as that, so the Turkish marching guns were not able to show up. Now the cannons they used were transported by horse-drawn carriages. After they arrived at the ground, many people had to unload the cannons from the carriage and then set them on the position. It was really fatal to fight.
In the first round, the Turks were defeated in the artillery battle!
When they were closer, the muskets of both sides started to fire!
The sharp gunshots were the sound of rifled guns, and the sound of smoothbore guns was much dull. The Southeast military formation reached a proportion of fifteen percent. The bullets flew out from afar, killing the Turkish people as they walked, and they fell down with a roar. Sometimes even a row of people fell down after being named, the queue became sparse, and soon the mix of one or two rows continued to move forward.
One by one, one by one, and sometimes even one by one, showing the strong firepower of the Southeast Army's rifled guns!
The rifled guns among the Turks are also firing. They made great efforts to reach a ratio of 5%. This is quite difficult. It is the result of the old Coprulu who has been rigorously grasping the production!
There are still few rifled guns imported from Hongmaofan. The Turks have arsenal in the Balkans and Baghdad in charge of military production and manufacturing rifled guns.
The army also specially opened small food for the rifled gunners so that they could practice more live ammunition.
You should know that gunpowder is hard-won and lacks production capacity. Those Baotou guys are quite hygienic. How can they do the collection and processing of saltpeter? They are left to slaves. The efficiency of the slave can be imagined!
When there is no natural nitrate ore, saltpeter production uses the manure pile method, collecting nitrate from the edges of the manure pile to make gunpowder.
Now the second largest production and sales area in the world is India, because there are many animals there... In addition to the numerous divine cattle, India had a population of 100 million in the 17th century AD, but in fact, it was 10 million people plus 90 million two-legged animals.
In addition to China, only India can produce a lot of nitrate. For example, Japan also wants to make money from this gunpowder. Unfortunately, their population is too large, there are too few livestock, and it is not enough to use manure as their own crops, and the same is true for other young followers.
The Southeast Army has a huge influence on the Indian region, and almost all the salt produced by India was bought by the Southeast Army.
The Ottoman Empire did not have that much tin, and it was still enough in the past. As soon as the war with the Southeast Army began, the use of tin is soaring that it was difficult to get enough. It had to import some gunpowder from Hongmao Fan through smuggling channels to use it!
Although the Red Hair Fan is hostile to the Ottoman Empire, there are many determined patriots in the Red Hair Fan. They are not ashamed of selling their own gunpowder to attack their own country. As long as the Turks give silver dollars, what can I not sell them!
What's funny is that the Ottoman army is also reselling gunpowder. They sell gunpowder imported from the country at a high price to some retail investors of the Red Hair, Mediterranean pirates, and Crimean relatives... The country is not ruthless at all. The problem is that the gunman does not need gunpowder to pile up, and the shooting skills can be imagined.
In contrast, the Southeast has much stronger control ability, with its own gunpowder and India's gunpowder.
This gap made it possible for Mohammed IV, who was watching the battle on the high ground. His cannon-type telescope was captured from the Southeast Army, and the quality of the Chinese telescope was better than that of other countries. In order to see more clearly, Mohammed IV, who said that he did not use Chinese products, also used Chinese telescopes to observe the situation of the enemy and us.
As a result, he was sad to find that the firepower of the rifled guns of the army was far inferior to that of the Southeast Army. What's worse is that the loading speed was slow, and the speed was at least twice that of the Turks!
This phenomenon is obvious. The other party's gunfire is fast and dense. On the contrary, the army is really not good at fighting. It seems to be constipated and cannot shoot a shot for a long time. Muhammad IV wished he could snatch a rifled gun and join the war. It might be better than them!
The counterattack seems to be unable to cause storms in the Southeast Army--there are few bullets fired and insufficient power. The Southeast Army's armor also makes the Southeast Army's attacks look like walking in the garden.
