Chapter 54: The Fall of the Peninsula 8 Eastern and Western Cavalry Wars
Ahmed said it right. The 10,000 cavalry commanded by Mahamo blocked Luo Jizhi's cavalry.
With the powerful mobile Swift, the news that Luo Jizhi unexpectedly occupied Varna Castle soon reached Nikan in Yalta. Nikan did not hesitate and not only sent a hundred albatrosses, but also sent two cavalrymen, Mu Zhan and Sun Xiulan.
It is natural that Nikan does this, so it makes sense.
At present, the cavalry legion led by Ji Jiajie has completely defeated the prairie northeast of Beckiczsalai, and the Dariachi cavalry, who called himself the "Naman tribe", and has marched to the city of Beckiczsalai.
In this way, it was impossible for Beckiczsalai to send reinforcements to Yalta, and the two cavalry brigades arranged by Nikan on the southern foot of Crimea lost their meaning.
On the southeast coast of the Crimean Peninsula, after the Great Xia Kingdom captured Kerch City, all castles, including Kafa City, were based on "security in the city", and it was impossible to come out to siege Yalta.
So Luo Jizhi had five cavalry brigades here. After obtaining reinforcements from Muzhan and Sun Xiulan, Luo Jizhi had no reason to leave Varna. When the albatross transported Varna's Wallachian prisoners and a large amount of supplies away, Luo Jizhi gave up Varna City and just let the Marines of the European Fleet guard the port under the leadership of Han Zilong, and led five cavalry brigades north.
In front of the cavalry brigade, there were still more than a hundred Hanhai cavalry dressed as Vansen Special Cavalry. On that day, when they approached the city of Dobridge, seventy miles north of Varna, they encountered the Ottoman cavalry of the brigade.
The real Fansheng Special Rider!
Speaking of the special cavalry of the Van Province, there is only one brigade of the real Kurds, which is the three thousand cavalry commanded by Mahamo himself. They are equipped with weapons and armor similar to the Persian cavalry of the Safi Dynasty. In Van Province, because its geographical location is at the intersection of Ottoman, Persia and Baghdad, the Kurds here are the most fierce. Because Mahamo comes from Persia, their equipment naturally has obvious Persian characteristics.
In fact, the Persians and Ottoman cavalry equipment at this time were almost the same. Although Mahamo's cavalry was known as "tribal cavalry", he had served as the Van Pasha after all. At present, his three thousand Kurdish cavalry had armor and were very complete, so he was not included in the Tipashi.
In addition, Abdullah also ordered two Arab tribal cavalry from the Levant region and Neizhi (later Saudi Arabia) region to be commanded by him. These two cavalry were naturally light cavalry, and there was nothing else except a scimitar.
However, the cavalry from the Neizhi area (later Saudi Arabia's inland desert) are not as simple as light cavalry. They are a team of jihadists who can devote themselves at any time. Of course, they are not real Neizhi people, but are stranded in the holy land to pilgrimage but do not want to return to their original place, including those from Yemen, Egypt, and North and East Africa.
After they arrived at the holy land, they were willing to go back, so they were naturally incompatible with the tribes before. So the Ottoman Empire gathered them together to form a reserve team of jihadists, because a large number of pilgrims from East Africa, North Africa and the Caucasus were stranded in Neizhi every year, which made the reserve team of the empire very sufficient.
These people can be engaged in battle with a little training. During the battle, they will never retreat until the last one. Although their combat power is not good, all those who can survive from the battle are brave men.
However, these people were never willing to participate in the battle against the Tianfang believers, and only wanted to participate in the holy war against the Christian world. A country like the Kingdom of Daxia, which had very suspicious beliefs, was naturally among the ranks of their willingness to fight.
According to Abdullah's arrangement, Mahamo needed to find the Daxia people who attacked Narva, and Luo Jizhi also wanted to find the main force of the Ottoman cavalry, and Dobridge was among them.
Both sides met unexpectedly.
However, after seeing the neat equipment and intimidating momentum of the Hanhai Army, the chief general of this Ottoman cavalry, the Kurdish leader from Fan Province, hesitated a little.
According to Ahmed's promise, after this battle, he would be placed in the Mosul area adjacent to Van Province as Pasha, which was also a predominantly Kurdish area, and promised that he would have certain autonomy.
In the current Ottoman Empire, only the three Babary kingdoms in North Africa had higher autonomy. In the formerly governed by the Arab Empire, Baghdad, Damascus, Egypt, Neizhi, Yemen and other regions were all governed by the unified imperial regulations.
With this promise, Mahamo was not as desperate as before when fighting. In his mind, he had already vaguely thought of bringing all the Kurds together.
But the jihadist cavalry from Neizhi did not have so many ideas. The Daxia people defeated Algiers and Morocco in North Africa, and pressed against the Kazakh Khanate, Yarkand Khanate, and Crimean Khanate, which are also the world of the Tianfang Cult. In their eyes, this was a great insult to the Tianfang Cult world. If it weren't for the suppression of the Ottoman Empire, they would have already gone to Bukhara and Crimea to participate in the jihad.
So, in the wilderness outside Dobridge Castle, while Mahamo was still hesitating, the jihadist cavalry had already rushed to the Sun Xiulan Divine Martial Army, which was at the forefront of Luo Jizhi's brigade!
Speaking of Sun Xiulan, he was originally one of the founders of the Great Xia Kingdom, the second son of Nikan's cousin Sun Chuanyu. He was originally trained as a civil servant, but he finally entered the Hanhai military system. After coming to the west coast of the Black Sea, he said to Luo Jizhi: "Governor, your cavalry army has fought in Varna, but I have not fought for a long time. Let's hand over the task of this vanguard to the last general."
Finally, under his strong struggle, his Shenwu Army obtained the vanguard mission, and Muzhan's cavalry brigade was twenty miles behind him, and Luo Jizhi led the army at the end.
As Nikan's closest cavalry guard, the equipment and weapons of the Shenwu Army are naturally the best. However, in the current Daxia Kingdom, due to the widespread use of steam engines and the efficiency and output of weapons are much higher than that of ordinary countries. Although the Shenwu Army was the first to equip advanced weapons and armor, other armies would not wait for too long.
But this lead still makes the Shenwu Army's combat power stronger. Moreover, most of the members of the Shenwu Army are from the children of chieftains of various tribes. Even if they do not enter all levels of study, due to their own conditions, this training is much stronger than that of ordinary herdsmen, and after joining the cavalry school, it is even more powerful. This is particularly obvious to Sun Dezhong and Mu Zhan in the previous Lishu City Cavalry School.
It’s not that Sun Dezhong is not good. After all, there are the majority of people like him, but people like Muzhan and Batu who are born in noble children have a brighter future after all.
So far, the only difference between Sun Xiulan's Shenwu Army and other cavalrymen is that they are the only troops among the cavalry that fired short guns and fully equipped with cavalry guns.
At this point, it was much stronger. After suddenly encountering the opposite jihadist cavalry, although the opponent rushed towards his own formation like a moth, no matter how strong the will of the jihadist was, under the attack of long-range rifles, short guns at close range, and long spears, the cavalry, which was originally wrapped in a ball, and the black robe covered with the shining Damascus scimitar, became much thinner in the moment when the two sides fought.
At this time, Sun Xiulan raised the tiger spear in his hand and took the flying dragon cavalry to cut in!
When Sun Xiulan emerged from the sacred warriors, the personal guards around him did not fall. This was the real Hanhai Army. When the Hanhai Army cavalry cut into the enemy formation, all the cavalry actually had only one thought in their minds.
"Break forward with all your might!"
According to the Emperor of Daxia, whether it is a cavalry or an infantryman, when it comes to close contact with the enemy, in addition to showing the results of daily training, the most important thing is not to be afraid of death. "The less you are afraid of death, the less you will die!"
This sentence is exactly the same as the previous one, "Always face the enemy's back, and never hand over your back to the enemy." Therefore, at this stage, the Han Hai Army has evolved to version 2.0 during long-term training and war. No matter where they come from, they retained the characteristics of the Saurons being fearless.
This feature coincides with the jihadists. The difference is that the jihadists are for the so-called illusory jihadist, believing that spiritual will can determine everything, and even if they die in battle, they can go to heaven to receive praise from Allah. However, the Hanhai Army first had a fighting habit, but finally gradually became a characteristic.
When the Dragon Knight hit the team of jihadists, the Tiger Knight holding a high knight can maximize the horse speed and use a fatal blow to the remaining enemies according to the usual tactics!
In less than an hour, in the vast wilderness, there were not many jihadists wrapped in black robes and bearded men who could still hold on to the war horses. For the first time in their lives, they were scared, but driven by milk and honey, they launched the final charge.
"Bang……"
The sound of the tiger riding a spear echoed in the wilderness. At the end, the flying dragon riding a tiger spear blade, one foot long, gave them the last blow.
At this time, Sun Xiulan rushed out himself. The tiger gun in his hand cut off the head of a sacred warrior completely. Then, without waiting for the head to fall to the ground, he caught it with the tiger gun, and then sucked the blood dripping from the head.
In an instant, Sun Xiulan seemed to have returned to his father's practice of going deep into the Mongols to attack the Tumotes. It is said that such a method is to keep Yebugu to maintain combat power and deterrence.
The news that the jihadists were wiped out for a long time before it reached Mahamo's place. Because no jihadists chose to retreat without fighting, they all died on the spot. When Mahamo got the news, he sent the reconnaissance cavalry who had been sent out to watch the battle and rushed back to report it.
According to the tradition of the Hanhai Army, even on the battlefield, they would send reconnaissance cavalry on the periphery, in order to guard against the enemy's cavalry that may suddenly appear. When Mahamo's cavalry appeared, they were targeted by them, and finally there was only one reconnaissance cavalry who successfully returned to the vicinity of Dobridge.
After Mahamo asked about the battle in detail, he became silent.
"Although the jihadists lack combat power, it will take a lot of effort to deal with the special cavalry of the Fanshen, but the people of Daxia wiped them out in a short time!"
He secretly thanked that he had the foresight and set up a camp near Dobridge City early in the morning. He made up his mind that since the enemy's cavalry was so strong, he would still stick to his support.
After Luo Jizhi led the army to surround his camp, the fast horses he sent in advance also found Ahmed and Abdullah.
"Allah"
Ahmed immediately knelt down in the direction of the holy land, and after a long prayer, he made a decision.
"Abdullah, you bring 10,000 cavalry to Constanta and strive to defeat the Cossacks there. I will lead 20,000 cavalry south to meet the Great Xia cavalry for a while."
