When the figures of the Anatolian light cavalry appeared in front of the position, the hearts of all the Montina soldiers who saw them were tense.

The Ottoman light cavalry was famous in the town, and what was even more terrifying was their skillful cooperation with the infantry.

What impressed many troops that had fought with the Ottomans was not the most powerful of their soldiers, but the skillful use of various troops and the nearly perfect cooperation between the Ottoman generals.

Whenever Anatolian light cavalry attacks the enemy's positions, their light infantry will follow closely behind the cavalry. When the cavalry breaks through the enemy formation, the light infantry will promptly and decisively surge into the gap torn open by the cavalry to stabilize the situation, and then the Ottoman heavy infantry will flock to expand the results.

This tactic doesn't seem to be very clever, but with the brave impact force of the Anatolian light cavalry as a guarantee, Ottomans often only need to master the rhythm of coordination between the infantry and the cavalry who are put into battle, so they can often quickly break through the enemy formation and then eat up the divided enemies piece by piece.

The figures of the cavalry in front approached quickly, and at the same time the roar of horse hooves trampling on the ground hit everyone's heart.

As the sound of commands rang out one after another, the musketeers raised their weapons one after another.

All the musketeers tried to line up in the first row, and the dense guns with almost no gaps looked like dense branches protruding from the forest from a distance.

Musketeers all knew that at the speed of the Anatolian light cavalry, they would not give them a chance to shoot a second shot.

The spearmen stared at the front with sweat on their foreheads. Each of them had enough space for one person to pass through, which was to leave behind the musketeers. However, the originally very tight phalanx became sparse. If the musketeers could not quickly form a dense formation to fight against the enemy cavalry after the musketeers retreated, then what awaited them was the doom of being trampled by the Ottoman cavalry.

In the corners of each square formation, a shooting team composed of several heavy muskets was waiting nervously. These heavy musketeers would follow the square formation to face the impact of the Ottoman cavalry, and their mission was to attack those enemy troops who tried to break through the square formation by relying on dense formations.

"Open fire!"

A sound of commands that could hardly be distinguished in sequence sounded from various parts of the entire line. With the orders, a shocking sound of gunfire broke out on the Montina army's front!

The sudden sound of gunfire came towards us, which made the Ottoman cavalry rushing in front seem to be beaten in an instant, but before they could react, accompanied by gunfire, even faster than the gunfire, was a sharp barrage with sharp whistling sounds.

Many cavalrymen who rushed in the front seemed to hit the invisible wall, some were overturned from the horse, and some suddenly fell forward with the hit war horses.

Bullets flew around the crowd, and sometimes they were bounced to fly in other directions after not piercing through a person's armor until they finally hit someone or a horse.

The Ottoman cavalry running in front could not help but slow down due to this violent blow, but the people behind did not stop. They quickly passed through the gap between their companions while shouting, while carrying the war horses that had lost their masters still rushed forward desperately.

After firing the first row of bullets, the musketeers immediately walked backward through the gap left by the spearmen and retreated backwards. They were very fast, and everyone's muskets were accustomed to standing in front of them, which was to reduce the possibility of obstacles caused by the gun being hooked to people passing by during retreat.

The spearmen kept shouting, urging the musketeers.

The spearmen were generally dissatisfied with the gorgeously dressed musketeers. In their opinion, these musketeers who only borrowed firearms to shoot from a distance. Once the enemy approached, they would hide in the phalanx and seek protection. Then they fired coldly and fired fire all of them were annoying guys, especially when they had to face enemies like the Ottoman cavalry, the spearmen were even more disliked by the musketeers' mother-in-law and mother-in-law.

As the last musketeer turned around and entered the formation, the gaps left by the spearmen quickly closed behind him. Before Montina's army could fully gather, the Ottoman light cavalry had already rushed to the front of the square formation.

The sharp spear aimed at the enemy who was instantly close to him. At the same time, the second order came from the square array named Agri by Alexander: "Fire!"

A dull gunshot sounded. Unlike light muskets, the gunshots of heavy muskets were like the sound of a buffalo's nose, and the huge and muffled sound seemed to be coming from the ground.

A black thing flew from the side towards the cavalry rushing in front, and instantly bursts of sounds of tearing up the flesh and metal colliding with each other surrounded the soldiers.

The body of an Ottoman cavalry kept rolling forward. He was thrown out by his war horse. When his constantly rolling body finally stopped, there was no sound.

A spearman not far from him was surprised to see that the Ottoman's face was black and evidently, before he fell off the horse, he had been shot out of the sky with a heavy musket and killed him.

However, the brief resistance created by heavy muskets did not stop the charge of the Ottoman cavalry. Before the gunfire had completely disappeared, the cavalry that followed had already rushed towards the square formation.

The terrifying sounds of each other and the sound of slashing and slashing and poking the flesh spread on the positions instantly. The trenches and low walls of the Montina army relied on, so that the Ottoman cavalry had to slow down the speed at the moment when they finally rushed into the enemy formation. At the same time, the Montina army, who was hiding behind the fortification, rushed up desperately at the slight pause of the Ottomans.

The bloody battle between the two sides began in front of the fortifications. The rough fences that were quickly built and the trench dug only half a man deep became the only reliance of the Montina people, and these seemingly insignificant obstacles became terrible tools for the Ottomans to pose a huge threat to them.

A crimson figure appeared again, which was the musketeers quickly turning their direction in the spear formation. They squeezed into the gaps of the spearmen. Some squatted while others raised their muskets from the spears. They were looking for opportunities to aim at the enemies who were rushing over. When they saw the figures of the Ottomans, they immediately shot without hesitation. As for whether they shot or not, they would not care.

"The horror of the Ottoman cavalry is that they can quickly create opportunities for infantrymen to open gaps, so if you can, you must disrupt the steps of the Ottoman cavalry attack at the beginning."

This was the order Alexander issued to all the officers the day before. Although he speculated that the Ottomans would likely launch an attack from the two ends of the entire front, in case he still issued a common order to all the officers, that is, once the main attack direction of the Ottomans was determined, then all the troops on the entire front would gather in the direction of the enemy's attack without hesitation!

This was obviously a very risky move. When he heard this order, Alexander obviously saw the hesitation revealed by the Genoese officers and the hesitation of the Pizza people.

"Don't try to get out of the position, that's exactly what the Ottomans want us to do," Alexander explained to his officers. "They want to drive us out of the position and then attack on our retreat until we completely eliminate us. This is called eliminating the enemy in the movement, so the only thing we can do now is to hold the position tightly."

When he said this to the officers, Alexander could feel a pessimistic atmosphere brewing among the officers. Instead, the Balkans, although they had just suffered a lot of casualties, still maintained a rare enthusiasm, which even made Alexander feel a little strange about their inexplicable fighting will.

The battle continued, and the heavy pressure on the joints of the two fronts seemed so strong from the beginning. Even at the moment when the Ottoman cavalry first attacked, Alexander began to doubt whether the Agri phalanx could withstand the enemy's attack.

Alexander silently recited the essence of the battle's guidance by a French god of war in the future. Although he knew that he was obviously incomparable to the famous general who swept Europe, it was not difficult to judge the Ottoman intentions at this time.

So what should we do next, should we fully implement another famous saying of the God of War?

Alexander hesitated a little.

Xisugu looked at the Anatolian light cavalry who kept retreating in front and then quickly turned to continue to attack the enemy's position, and his thick eyebrows frowned slightly.

The power of cavalry lies in impact, impacting the enemy's formation, impacting the enemy's positions, and also restraining and rushing with the enemy's cavalry.

Cavalry that loses speed and maneuver will obviously reduce its power. If there is any accident again, perhaps the results of a cavalry charge may not be more cost-effective than the casualties they themselves have.

The defense of Montina's army was unexpectedly difficult to deal with. From long-range muskets to close-range spear phalanxes, Montina felt that Montina's army seemed to exist to restrain his Anatolian cavalry.

Although he knew that this idea was a bit absurd, the light cavalry had not opened up the situation as smoothly as he had imagined.

It was obviously unprofitable to put the cavalry and the enemy in a stalemate. Xi Sugu thought about it and decided not to delay any more.

He whispered to the messenger beside him, and when he saw a group of armored cavalry passing by like a torrent of torrents, Xi Sugu shook his head slightly.

He didn't expect that the enemy on the other side would be so difficult to deal with, which made him think of the Mamuliks he had encountered in Egypt before.

Xisugu once followed a Great Vizier to expedition to Egypt. Although his later experience did not make him happy, at least during that expedition, the Sudanese army still achieved brilliant results.

But the European army in front of him seemed to remind him of the Mamuliks, and he still remembered that his general, as the Great Vizier, had to send heavy armored cavalry that Ottomans rarely used in order to deal with the Mamulik cavalry.

The Ottoman light cavalry are world-famous, but this does not mean that they do not have heavy armored cavalry.

On the contrary, although the Ottoman Empire was not as extreme as the French cavalry that it completely wrapped itself and its war horses into a moving iron can, the Ottoman heavy armored cavalry also had complete armor.

More importantly, these heavy armored cavalry who obtained their own land from the Sudan or the Governor also had a similar status as Western knights.

Now Xisugu is sending these heavily armored cavalrymen.

The smoke and dust in the sky were accompanied by the heavy sound of horse hooves, and the terrifying momentum enveloped the battlefield before it appeared.

The Montina soldiers suddenly found that the Anatolian light cavalry in front were moving quickly to both sides, which gave the heavy musketeers on the side of the phalanx to get nervous. They didn't know if the enemy was about to attack them. Just as the heavy musketeers began to slowly retreat behind the phalanx, they heard the rumble of the ground shaking.

"stop!"

A musketman shouted to his companions. The musketman who had participated in the battle outside Rome remembered what this familiar sound came from. He just didn't wait for him to warn others, from the smoke and dust, a dark figure had already rushed towards Montina's position like a wave of overwhelming waves.

"The heavy cavalry is the heavy cavalry!"

The first person who saw it clearly shouted loudly, but their voices were covered by the roar of the horses of the opposite enemy's horses. Then more and more heavy cavalry figures appeared in front of the Montina army. Then, amid the crazy shouts and terrible collisions, the Ottoman heavy cavalry had rushed into the Montina position in the front.

Suddenly, the tight square array was like a piece of soft fat being hit and swung backwards. The screams mixed with the breaking of the weapon, the trampling of the horse's hooves and the faint short gunshots, and the entire position was completely in chaos.

The heavy cavalry rushed forward frantically and slashed. The heavy sabers, which were much heavier than ordinary cavalry, raised them hard and swung them down hard. After slashing the enemy who shouted desperately in front of them into two sections, the huge horse hooves of the Arab war horse immediately kicked out the broken enemy's body, and then under the urging of the master, the war horse neighed and continued to run forward.

A burst of gunfire came, and the heavy cavalry immediately made a "bang bang bang" sound. The sound of the projectile shooting on the armor was creepy, but not many people were knocked down this time. The thick and tight armor blocked most of the bullets, which made the heavy cavalry's offensive speed suddenly slow down, but it was not able to completely block their pace of continuing the attack.

The saber was still raised, and the blood splashed under the knife was sprayed everywhere. At the same time, the light cavalry, which was closely behind the heavy cavalry, also entered the battle again. They followed the gap between the Agri formations, but they quickly broke into the depth of the Montina army position due to the shock.

"Sir, the Ottomans are breaking through our positions, and they are breaking deeper," an officer hurriedly reported to Alexander that "the central Agri square is in danger of being surrounded by the enemy."

"Have all the Ottoman light cavalry dispatched?" Alexander's face was slightly gloomy. What he was really worried about at this time was whether the Ottomans had other plans. At this time, what he needed to consider was not whether he could force the Bucharests to send troops to support, but how to successfully retreat from the Ottoman encirclement.

However, before this, he needed to know whether the enemy had put all his troops on the battlefield.

Because this means that once an order is issued, there is no room for change.

"Sorry, we don't know," the officer replied, not knowing whether it was nervous or sweaty because of the heat. "We saw several flags belonging to the Anatolian light cavalry, and there were about a hundred or more heavy cavalry they kneaded into."

"Have you invested enough heavy cavalry?" Alexander stared at the central front. His expression didn't seem to change much. Only he knew that his lips were sore because they were too tight.

what to do?

At this moment, Alexander repeatedly asked himself in his heart that if he assembled to the central government, he could quickly encircle once the enemy had enough troops, but if he did not concentrate his troops, he would be at risk of being completely divided.

After the battle begins, the established determination is implemented resolutely and decisively without being shaken easily due to various reasons.

Alexander silently recited this passage in his heart that seemed not difficult to understand, but he could not help but admit that he truly understood it at this time. It was such a simple sentence, how difficult it would be to truly do it.

"Order all troops to assemble to the Central Square, especially the left-wing troops, to get them to move closer to the position along the banks of the Danube."

"Sir, then we may be surrounded by the entire army!" Someone reminded uneasy, and the officers looked at Alexander and their eyes showed concerns. They began to worry that Alexander would be in a mess because of the harsh situation.

"As long as I order," Alexander sighed in his heart. He really regretted sending Gompatti out at this time, or even Ofulei was better.

The front of Montina's army began to move.

At first, Xi Sugu did not notice this change. All his attention was focused on the central position. Although he knew that even if the enemy in front of him miraculously escaped, it would not have any major impact on this expedition, Xi Sugu did not want such a thing to happen in his own hands.

So he was not much easier than his enemies at this time, and when his subordinates reported to him that the entire front of the Montina army began to move closer to the center, Xisugu was a little confused for a moment.

Then, he breathed in relief.

"It finally moved." Xi Sugu's beard curled slightly. Although he felt that the enemy on the other side was really difficult, the battle could finally develop according to his intentions, which made Xi Sugu feel a little tired.

Since the enemy refused to leave their positions, they were forced to give up their wings.

This is the opportunity that Xi Sugu has been waiting for. He is waiting for the enemy's general to finally have to assemble his troops to the central government.

"Tell our light cavalry can attack."

Xi Sugu looked back and saw a light cavalry behind him that had never been involved in the battle. It was his last method to encircle the enemy.

When the Ottoman light cavalry appeared at the far end of the right wing of the Montina army, Alexander heard a desperate cry from the people around him.

At the same time, Busako also made a secret gesture to the hunting guards around him.

"Busako," Alexander shouted softly. He shook his head helplessly when he heard the captain of the guard's absent-minded response. "I have said before, either win from here and go to glory, or die here in battle, there is no third way."

Alexander said as he looked up at the sky.

The sun has not yet risen above the head, and the day is still very long.

"The Ottomans should have put all their strength in it," Alexander turned around and pulled his sword and musket from Pagasus's saddle and hung it around his waist, and then he whispered "Prepare for the fight."

After the battle begins, the established determination is implemented resolutely and decisively without being shaken easily due to various reasons.

Alexander silently recited this sentence in his heart, and then he nodded slightly to the messenger beside him.

The horn sounded, and the hunting guards who had been waiting in line behind the hills began to enter the position.

Resolutely and decisively implement the established determination!

The Hunter Guards, the last force of Montina's army, was fully engaged in the battle at noon.
Chapter completed!
