I can only say that he is crazy

(0858)

"Bang bang bang!"

"Bang bang bang!"

The Sipahi cavalry, whose shells continued to explode.

The fire lights, loud noises, and smoke columns instantly turned the front of the nameless highland into a mess. The already dry land had a lot of dust, and when the mortar shells were blown up, the dust rose even more. After several shells were shot in succession, it was like a sandstorm was rolled up, and people were in the situation.

The Sipahi cavalry who rushed up were strongly bombarded by mortars and fell one after another. Some of the cavalry were killed on the spot, and their bodies fell into the soft sand and blood gushed out, and they were quickly absorbed by the dried sand and soil. However, those who were not killed on the spot struggled desperately in the pool of blood, moaning and wailing.

Most of the war horses were actually just injured by the bomb. They either had to fall to the ground because of their legs injured, struggling and neighing in pain. Or they were frightened and ran around in panic. These out-of-control war horses obviously caused great trouble to the attacks of the Sipashi cavalry. Their team was scrambled.

In terms of pure explosion power, mortar shells are actually not very powerful. A 60mm caliber mortar shell is probably causing effective damage to targets within a radius of five meters. However, mortars have a characteristic, which is that they have a fast firing rate and dense shell landing points. Often, the aftermath of the shell in front has not yet dissipated, and the next wave of shells falls down again. In this continuous manner, the power of the explosion is considerable.

Whether it is a human or a war horse, they are all mortals. Their bodies cannot block the explosion power of the shells, but the degree of injury is only the severity of the injury. The environment around the nameless highland is very harsh, with dry sand and dust everywhere, which can easily fill the wounds and cause malignant infection. If the wounds are not cleaned and disinfected in time, even if they are sent to the rear, there is no chance of rescue.

"Smack!"

"Smack!"

Another sharpshooter seized the opportunity, aimed at the remaining Sipahi cavalry and fired in a cold gun.

Poor, the Sipahi cavalry were already in chaos after being bombed by mortars. They fought each other and were shot by cold guns. More people fell down. Among the white-clothed army on the nameless high ground, there were at least five professional snipers and dozens of sharpshooters. The bullets they shot were rarely lost.

Although the number of Sipahi cavalry is large, at least more than 5,000. However, during the impact, after being baptized by mortars, their morale dropped by at least half. The decline in morale seriously affected their combat effectiveness. Some Sipahi cavalry even turned around and fled halfway. When they rushed out of the mortar intercept and tried to approach the nameless highland, the remaining number was basically less than two-thirds of the original ones.

However, this is not the most deadly. Mortars and snipers are not the weapons that end the Sipahi cavalry. The one who ended the Sipahi cavalry was five huge water-cooled Maxi heavy machine guns. When the remaining Sipahi cavalry thought they had a chance to kill the nameless highland, the black muzzle was silently waiting for them.

From the perspective of technical performance, the Maxim heavy machine gun is definitely a killer on the battlefield. Its uninterrupted firepower is also fatal to the cavalry team. In the era without tanks, the biggest killer of the cavalry was the Maxim heavy machine gun. The development of history proved that this killer will appear on the battlefield no matter what.

The only disadvantage of Maxim heavy machine guns is that they are too heavy. Generally, Maxim heavy machine guns weigh more than 60 or 70 kilograms, and require two people to carry them away, or to be carried by horses. This is very unfavorable for the mobility of the troops. Especially for troops that require long-distance marching, this heavy weapon is definitely a torment.

In addition, since Maxim heavy machine guns generally use water cooling, if there is no water in the combat area and cannot be cooled in time, their practicality and performance will be greatly reduced. However, the most lacking in West Asia is water sources. In Baghdad and other places, the water-cooled Maxim heavy machine gun has always been insufficient, and the water-cooled Maxim heavy machine gun is almost a place where heroes have no use.

However, if the Maxim heavy machine gun is used in defensive operations, it is acceptable if it does not need to move frequently. Especially when facing enemies without heavy weapons, it is simply invincible. A heavy machine gun that occupies the commanding heights can control the surrounding area within two hundred meters, and even a fly can not fly in.

Specifically for the nameless Heights, the most needed weapon is such a weapon. Five Maxim heavy machine guns are enough to control all areas of 300 meters around the nameless Heights. As for the water sources required for cooling, they can be brought from within Holmes City one after another. The White Army has a special single-person carrying water tank, and a box of water can be used for a long time.

"Da da da da!"

"Da da da da!"

The five Maxim heavy machine guns were elliptical, constantly spraying violent flames around them. The bullet chain continued to extend, just like the heavy machine gun had a bloody mouth, constantly swallowing the bullets, and then spraying them out fiercely.

The muzzle of the Maxim heavy machine gun was constantly emitting fire. The sound of the bullets coming out of the bore is a bit like "The Ambush on Ten" in the guqin, very fast. Boxes of bullets were consumed on the enemy like running water. It seemed like a metal storm was set off around the entire nameless highland. Everything turned into powder wherever it went.

No matter how flexible, light, or erratic the movements of the Sipahi cavalry are, they can only fall down in the face of the dense rain of death bullets. The closer the Sipahi cavalry is, the greater the results of the Maxi heavy machine gun. They almost fell down in large areas. The posture of falling down is almost the same as the posture of impact.

Xu Canhuai raised his telescope and carefully observed the strafing effect of the heavy machine gun.

The power of this killer is completely unquestionable. In front of the Maxi heavy machine gun, the life of the Sipahi cavalry was as fragile as paper. In a while, a large number of corpses had accumulated in the south of the nameless highland. Under the strafing of the heavy machine gun, more corpses continued to accumulate layer by layer.

Subconsciously, Xu Canhuai shook his head and put down his telescope. There was no need to continue to observe. This was not a war. This was a one-sided massacre. Although the impact of the Sipahi cavalry was fierce, fierce, and indomitable, it was impossible for them to rush to the front of the White Army's positions in front of mortars and heavy machine guns. The faster they attacked, the more people involved in the attack, the more deaths they died.

However, the commander of the Sipahi cavalry did not seem to realize this. Or, he had already realized it. However, in the desperate situation, he had to use his troops, rush hard, and rush up desperately, trying to break out a bloody path. Unfortunately, their hope was completely shattered.

After an hour, the battle is basically over.

In front of the nameless highland, the bodies of the Sipahi cavalry were lying.

About 4,000 Sipahi cavalrymen who appeared before participated in the attack. In the end, they all basically fell in front of the nameless highland. The number of survivors was basically negligible. The remaining more than 1,000 people felt that the situation was not good, so they had to slip south helplessly, probably retracted to the city of Damascus.

After the battle, the White-Clothed Army began to clean up the battlefield. The war horses that were not killed and could continue to be used were pulled away by the White-Clothed Army. The injured war horses ended their pain with bullets. The enemies who had not died would send them to their true gods with bayonets. Anyway, they deeply believed that after death, they would definitely see the True God.

Xu Canhuai also pulled himself a war horse and used it as a mount for the time being. Because most of the war horses equipped by the White Army were Mongolian horses, they were not suitable for the hot and dry climate of West Asia and could not be used in the West Asia region. Therefore, the White Army must rely on the war horses seized in the local area to form cavalry. As long as the war horses that can be continued to be used, the White Army will actively take it for itself. Part of them will be handed over and part of them will be rewarded for the front line troops.

So far, the main bodies of the Leopard Cavalry and the Mastiff Cavalry are actually infantry. They used to be all cavalry, but after they arrived in the West Asia region, they became all infantry. The seized war horses were basically allocated to scouts and communication soldiers for use. The special combat cavalry is probably not expected to be formed for the time being.

After pulling away all the useful things, the rest is to level the battlefield. The layers of corpses should be spread out as much as possible and they should not be allowed to accumulate together. The deep pits blown out by shells should also be filled as much as possible. The purpose of this is mainly to clear the shooting range. Secondly, to avoid giving the enemy the opportunity to hide.

The shooting of heavy machine guns is affected in many ways. It must be used in a position with open terrain to maximize its power. If there are too many obstacles that block bullets or sight, the shooting effect of heavy machine guns will be greatly reduced. For example, if the enemy is hiding behind the pile of corpses, the heavy machine gun cannot effectively kill them.

In the afternoon of that day, the Sipahi cavalry continued to attack. These Sipahi cavalry should have arrived from other places. They obviously did not know the outcome of the Sipahi cavalry in the morning. So they also launched an attack on the nameless highland while they were moving. As a result, they basically fell down in front of the mortars and heavy machine guns.

The next morning, there were more enemies retreating from Damascus. Xu Canhuai saw from the telescope and saw only the black heads and the tails of the crowd. It was probably because the news of the White Army occupying Holmes had already spread to Damascus, which deeply stimulated the retreating faction. They had to grab Holmes back. If even Holmes could not be taken back, they would have to wait to die in Damascus.

In order to regain Holmes, the commander of Damascus dispatched a large number of troops. Among them, there were at least 3,000 elite Sipahi cavalry alone. A large number of infantry appeared behind Sipahi cavalry. It is roughly estimated that the number of infantry will not be less than 30,000. There is also a large number of fanatics behind the infantry. As for the number, the white-clothed army cannot be estimated for the time being. There is no way, even the highest-speed telescope can't see the end.

What surprised the white army was slightly surprised was that the shadow of artillery appeared in the Ottoman army. Obviously, it was the defenders of Damascus who pulled out the cannons. From this, we can infer how strong their desire to retreat was. They really didn't want to stay in Damascus. If they had known this, why should they retreat early and run towards Istanbul, where is the sadness of today?

The cannons carried by the Ottoman team were all large-caliber smoothbore cannons. The largest caliber is estimated to be more than 300 mm. The Ottoman Empire was actually quite advanced in terms of firearm research. In addition to the famous Lumi gun, there were also a large number of artillery guns. If it weren't for the rise of the White Army, they would have been glorious for at least two hundred years.

When attacking Baghdad, the White Army had already learned about the power of these large-caliber smoothbore guns. The Ottoman team knew to concentrate all the cannons to enhance their power. In fact, within a range of two or three thousand meters, if there is no trench protection, the marbles shot by the smoothbore gun would have a large coverage area and cause great damage. A dense piece of marbles could knock out half of the White Army's squadron.

However, now, the White-clothed Army has a complete trench defense in the nameless highland, and there is no need to expose its body to the attack of marbles. The soldiers hid in the trench and could easily avoid marbles that landed obliquely. Those marbles hit the soft soil and basically fell deep, motionless, with zero rebound lethality.

The mortars of the White Army were also arranged on the back slope of the slope to avoid the attack of marbles. The grape bullets and marbles shot out by the Ottoman team still had a certain angle. Hiding on the back of the trench or the slope can effectively avoid it. When the enemy cavalry or artillery attacks, they fired their guns.

Although the range of the mortar is similar to that of the enemy's smoothbore cannon, it is possible to seize the opportunity to use the enemy's cannon before it opens fire. However, the White Army has not used the mortar to deal with the enemy's cannon for the time being. Sun Dasheng is worried that if the enemy's cannon is killed too early, the enemy's infantry and cavalry may not dare to launch an attack at all.

He hopes that the enemy will continue to attack the nameless highlands in order to eliminate the enemy's living forces as much as possible. It is best that the enemy will be crazy, unreasonable, and continuously attack the nameless highlands until all of them are killed in battle. The more casualties the enemy will be in the nameless highlands, the weaker the garrison power of Damascus will be.

Sure enough, after the continuous shelling, the cavalry and infantry of the Osmin Emperor team launched attacks one after another. They were really anxious to retreat. Almost with a command, all the troops rushed up. There was no order at all, and there was no combat plan, so they just rushed forward.

"Puff puff puff!"

"Bang bang bang!"

"Da da da da!"

The white-clothed army stationed in the nameless highland immediately fought back with unswerving measures.

Under the dual firepower of mortars and heavy machine guns, the enemy's counterattack was quickly defeated.

This time, the losses of the Ottoman team were quite heavy. The three thousand Sipahi cavalry who rushed to the front were naturally beaten and wiped out. The 30,000 infantry behind the cavalry were also almost cleaned up, and most of them were lying on the bloody sand. There were probably only three or four thousand people who were able to escape successfully.

The fanatics behind the infantry suffered little losses. Roughly speaking, there should be less than 10,000 fanatics killed by the white-clothed army. Because, after both the cavalry and infantry were killed by large-scale blockbusters, the fanatics finally completely collapsed. They were disintegrated and frantically ran around, and no one knew what they were going to do.

The White Army had sufficient reason to believe that those fanatics who had lost their minds would not continue to believe in the True God after being hit by the constant blow. Because, from beginning to end, the True God has never appeared and has not given them any help. If they still believe that the True God will appear to save them under such circumstances, it can only be said that they are crazy.

After a day of battle, the White-Clothed Army achieved brilliant results. At least 40,000 to 50,000 enemies were eliminated. The White-Clothed Army stationed in the nameless highlands, plus the mortar and heavy machine gun squads, had only more than 400 people, even less than 500 people. However, the White-Clothed Army's ammunition was also very large. Mortar shells and heavy machine gun bullets were basically exhausted.

After nightfall, except for the necessary guards, everyone else went to the rear to help transport ammunition. They needed to return to Holmes to transport ammunition, and walked back and forth, which happened to be four hours. Fortunately, at least three thousand war horses were seized during the day, which to a large extent made up for the lack of logistics transportation capabilities of the White Army.

That night, five 75mm field artillery from the rear arrived and entered the deployment position. The arrival of field artillery made the combat effectiveness of the White-Clothed Army stationed in the nameless highland stronger. After dawn, another squadron of troops entered the nameless highland. At this point, the White-Clothed Army stationed in the nameless highland finally exceeded one thousand people.

The next day, early in the morning, more enemy troops from Damascus began to gather in front of the nameless highlands. They brought more cannons and tried to severely curb the white-clothed army on the cannons. However, they made a mistake. No matter how caliber smoothbore cannons were, they were all scum in front of the 75mm field cannons.

"Bangbangbangbang!"

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

The 75mm caliber field gun began to roar.
