While Li Xiao was looking at the map, Li Hu tied his shoelaces. He looked at the fiery rising sun and prepared to start the day's battle.

If a strange force wants to gain a foothold in a strange place, the easiest way is to find a force and repair it severely. The more powerful the force you repair, the greater the benefits and respect you will get.

The man Li Hu was looking for was a very tough man, the Mamluk Sultan Hudu. Because he had 20,000 Mamluk cavalry under his command, he became the overlord of Egypt. Even Napoleon did not dare to show his strength. The whole of Palestine was his.

The territories, Aleppo and Damascus trembled under his power.

If you want to find one, find the most powerful one to beat him! These are Li Hu’s original words!

Joseph really wanted Li Hu to swallow these words back, but by the time he knew it, it was already too late. Joseph regretted coming to Li Hu's camp with supplies, and now it was too late to run away.

*** are the masters here, and no one knows this land better than them. In the plains of Ain Jaru, trying to escape their pursuit is just a dream.

"The Mamluk cavalry adopts a lifelong training system, which makes them strong in body and very skilled in military combat skills. They are heavy cavalry, wearing iron helmets and chainmail. The Mamluk cavalry's armor is better than that of European knights.

The chain-mail cavalry is much lighter, but its protective effect is not bad. The weapons and equipment include a strong bow, a spear, a sharp Damascus scimitar and a shield.

The mount is a world-famous Arabian horse with amazing sprint speed and good endurance. However, the Mamluk cavalry is basically one man and one horse, so its mobility is far inferior to the Mongolian cavalry. The tactics of the Mamluk army are also obviously different from those of the Mongolian army.

When the Croatian army fought, they usually took a defensive position first. The cavalry lined up in a neat formation and used their strong bows to fire wave after wave of volleys at the attacking enemy. The Mamluk cavalry had superb archery skills and could accurately shoot at a considerable distance.

Shoot the enemy, wait until the enemy is greatly reduced by the volley of bows and arrows, and the formation is scattered, then the Mamluk cavalry launches the attack.

The Mamluk cavalry's sword skills are quite good, and the world-famous Damascus scimitar makes the Mamluk cavalry even more powerful and unstoppable in close combat." Joseph kept telling Li Hu repeatedly that he wanted to know how powerful the Mamluk cavalry was.

Let Li Hu take him to escape with him. On the plains, the Mamluk cavalry is synonymous with invincibility.

"My men have 240 Aka 47 rifles. I also have 12 mortars and more than 2,000 rounds of artillery shells. I also have 500 mercenaries!" Li Hu showed off his rifle arrogantly.

family property.

Joseph couldn't even cry. Opposite him, Hudu had more than 20,000 powerful Mamluk cavalry. With a defense line of less than 1,000 people, they only needed one charge, and the rest was just to kill on horseback.

.

There were also those mercenaries. Joseph could clearly see that their legs were shaking. It is estimated that as soon as the Mamluk cavalry appeared in the field of vision, these people would immediately put down their weapons and run away. The guns in their hands wanted to target them.

In order for the Mamluk cavalry to cause damage, the Mamluk cavalry must rush within fifty meters. At this distance, the cavalry can rush in front of them in the blink of an eye. Before the bullets are replaced, the heads will fly.

Look at the four hundred French soldiers behind them. Perhaps these people are more reliable. They know how the Communist Party treats prisoners of war. Thinking about the treatment of prisoners of war, they would rather die in battle.

Joseph didn't know where Li Hu's arrogance came from, but he had no choice. Now that Li Hu had deceived him into boarding the pirate ship, it was impossible to escape. The only thing he could do was to give it a try.

"Don't worry, those mercenaries are actually refugees. Their tribe was destroyed by the Kudu Sultan, and they were very lucky to survive. If they were caught by the Kudu Sultan, it would be worse than death to wait for them." Li Hu saw it.

, Joseph was very worried about those mercenaries.

Hearing what Li Hu said, Joseph felt a little relieved. At least when the fight started, they wouldn't run away immediately.

"I still hope that you can take advantage of the dawn to retreat. If we are lucky, we can have the opportunity to retreat to the seaside. At least, we have to find a place like a hilltop to hold on. There is only such a piece of dirt on the plain.

Wai Zi, do you expect two trenches to be able to stop the Mamluk cavalry?" Joseph glanced at the trench densely covered with spiked wooden stakes, and he did not think that this thing could stop the Mamluk cavalry.

Moreover! Who told you that Kudu Sultan had no infantry?

The Sultan of Kudu had a very good relationship with the British, and they obtained a considerable number of flintlock guns from the British. They even had a few muzzle-loading artillery pieces, but those artillery pieces were too bulky and they probably would not be able to carry them. In terms of equipment level,

In other words, their equipment is not much worse than that of the French army.

"We'll find out later. Let your people help us defend. Sultan Kudu is going crazy. He will definitely try his best to trample me into a pulp today." Li Hu looked confident.

.

Joseph almost fainted. He was now afraid of hearing something like "exerting all his strength". He wished that Sultan Kudu looked down on this small team and sent a few birds to deal with the problem.

"Do you know why?" Li Hu actually had the nerve to ask when he saw Joseph's appearance.

"Why?" Joseph instinctively felt that this guy had done nothing good.

"I attacked a team, and it happened that the daughter of the Sultan of Kudu was in the team. Those slaves robbed the team, and then... they did nothing to the girl of Kudu." Li Hu picked on Joseph.

Eyebrow.

"What's wrong...!" Joseph's heart almost jumped out of his mouth.

"That's it."

"You guys, give Princess Ayitula...what's that?" Joseph felt like he had seen the God of Death.

Princess Ayitullah is known as the heartthrob of the Sultan of Kudu. The chief of Aleppo just looked at the princess twice and his eyes were gouged out by Kudu. These bastards actually dared to kill Ayitullah.

What's the matter? No wonder those mercenaries won't run away. Even if they run to the horizon, Hudu will catch them and kill them with the cruelest punishment.

"It's not us. Our Ming army didn't do that. They did it all!" Li Hu pointed at the mercenaries with an innocent look on his face.

Joseph felt his eyes go dark, he was dead! He was damn dead!

"Not only did we not have that, we also sent the body of that princess along with the declaration of war. We have to send it anyway, so it will save trouble if we send it all at once."

Joseph was shaken, so he sent the body back, angering the cruel Sultan of Kudu. Li Hu despised his longevity, but you have had enough fucking life, so you dragged me to fuck you. I am here to do it for you

Give him up for adoption and earn some money to spend. Who the hell knows, he was deceived by Li Hu.

Before Joseph fainted, he heard a noise from the soldiers. Joseph looked in the direction pointed by the soldiers, and suddenly a black line appeared on the dawn horizon. The sun had not yet heated up, and he could clearly see the line.

The black line is moving.

After waiting for about an hour, the sun rose completely. Then the sun could see that a large army was coming towards Li Hu and the others. It was unclear how many people there were. Anyway, Joseph only thought of one word, overwhelming!

Li Hu held the Aka 47 rifle and looked at the approaching army.

This is a mixed team of cavalry and infantry, with a total number of more than 10,000 people. It can be seen that even in this kind of provocation, Kudu Sultan did not use all his strength. After all, he added more than 10,000 people to the team.

Together, there were only more than a thousand people.

A ten-fold numerical advantage would give Kudu Sultan extreme confidence.

Li Hu understood this kind of self-confidence. If he faced such a numerical advantage, his self-confidence would also be overwhelming.

But what they met was Li Hu, a Li Hu with modern weapons.

Joseph swallowed a big mouthful of saliva with a "gurgling" sound, and now it was too late even if he wanted to run away. In desperation, he could only send French soldiers to garrison at the edge of the trench.

Although the flintlock gun has a slower rate of fire, at this time, one gun counts as one gun, and the rate of fire cannot be considered.

The place where Li Hu chose to camp was a small slope, and everyone was waiting with weapons in hand. The French soldiers and mercenaries were almost nervous to death, but those Ming soldiers who followed Li Hu had big cakes in their hands, rolled

The beef kept chewing. From time to time, he took out a military kettle and drank a sip of sweet and sour wine.

The weather in the Middle East was so hot that Li Xiao had no choice but to ask the army to get more wine. Wine has a limited alcohol content, so it is not easy to get drunk. The most important thing is that this thing contains alcohol. As long as it is sealed well, it will be difficult to

Destroys over a period of time.

The hatred was so strong that Hudu dispensed with all unnecessary rituals. There was no such thing as sending people to negotiate in a symbolic manner. When he saw his daughter's body riddled with holes, Hudu immediately

Decide to make everyone on the other side pay the price.

The opponent's military formation stopped two miles away from Li Hu.

Li Hu held up the telescope, and Joseph beside him asked softly: "Third Master! After measuring the distance, we found that the opponent is only one kilometer away from us. If the cavalry makes a surprise attack, you will die without a burial place. Why don't you say that your subordinates will take your place?"

?A gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall...!" Joseph was anxious to let Li Hu make up his mind.

Li Hu, who was holding a telescope, waved his hand impatiently, as if he was shooing away flies. "Don't make any noise. Now that you've scared everyone, why the hell do you want to hit them? Listen carefully. Put the people closer and hit them. Try to fight for them."

Kill one of them with one bullet, save some bullets. Mortar, follow my orders and shoot again!"

The fence was not big, and Li Hu's shouts reached everyone's ears. Soon, Joseph translated Li Hu's words to his soldiers. Almost at the same time, the tongue man also translated Li Hu's words to

Those Lebanese mercenaries.

The sun has risen, and the sunlight is a bit dazzling.

The army of Sultan of Kudu was getting closer and closer, and suddenly the Sultan's army burst out with shouts like a tide. Then, countless cavalry rushed out of the military formation, waving Damascus scimitars in their hands, and rushed towards Li Hu's position.

come over.

"The cavalry charges first? This is not the Jurchen Tatars' fighting style. It is outdated in our country. Joseph, please don't pull my clothes. I can handle this kind of force even if it comes to 100,000 people." Seeing this.

Li Hu almost grinned with joy at the tactics of the Kudu Sultan. This kind of tactics was exactly the same as that of the Jurchen Tatars.

When Li Xiao started his career, he often fought with the Jurchen cavalry. At the earliest, he used fire muskets, which could knock the Jurchen cavalry off their feet. Not to mention, now he has such a heaven-defying existence as the Aka 47 rifle.

.

Li Hu regretted that he did not get two Maxim machine guns. Li Xiao had strict control over those things and could not get them easily. Moreover, Li Hu also felt that those things cost too much bullets. There would be no stability in Egypt by himself.

There are sufficient supplies, but carrying such heavy and large items is a huge waste of transportation space.

It’s too late to regret now! The enemy soldiers began to charge, and the fast-moving Arabian war horses came rolling against the ground on clouds of smoke and dust. The power of the galloping horses made the earth begin to shake. It was like thunder.

The sound caused the legs of the Lebanese mercenaries in Li Hu's camp to tremble.

Although they wanted to resist the tyranny of Kudu, they were also frightened when faced with the cavalry charge.

"Trebuchet! Prepare... to fire!" Seeing the enemy cavalry rushing within 500 meters, Li Xiao immediately ordered to launch the trebuchet.

Li Hu had just arrived in Egypt, and he had no connections, money, or... nothing at all. The Arab world is rich in skilled knights, and the world-renowned Arabian war horses are just like this.

In order to make up for the lack of cavalry support, Li Hu unscrewed the military kettle and took a big gulp of wine. He hoped that these earthy and scummy things could withstand this wave of attacks.

As soon as Li Hu finished speaking, the ordering soldier waved a small red flag in the direction of the trebuchet and shouted loudly.

The Lebanese mercenaries in charge of the trebuchet immediately smashed the trebuchet down with hammers.

"Boom!" The explosive pack with green smoke flew out into the air.

But those green smoke seemed to explode in the air without exception, and the Arabs who got up in the morning were caught off guard. Countless things with sharp thorns flew out, and the huge explosive force was so powerful that they could knock people directly from the battlefield.

Lift it off immediately.

Joseph saw through the telescope that those things actually brought shock waves after they exploded. And with the explosion, large black dots burst out. Joseph didn't know what they were, and of course he didn't dare to ask. At this time,

Li Hu lost his usual laughter and laughter, and his attitude was extremely serious. And his eyes were very scary, a bit like a tiger.

Many of the Mamluk cavalry charging in the smoke and dust felt like they were flying up. Others felt like something was nailed into their bodies, but they were protected by hard armor, and the nails were not very deep, and it did not seem to hurt much.
