"Woo..."

There was a long sound of copper horns on the hill.

As soon as the copper horn sounded, as if the pause button was pressed, both the offensive and defensive sides of Alan City stopped.

At this time, Kitard had returned to the foot of the mountain with two thousand horses. Why did the Mongolian boy who was used to blowing the horn before and now has been immersed in the copper horn still stay on the mountain?

Different from the past, Kitard's expression was very serious. His eyebrows were furrowed and his eyelids were still twitching slightly. He was obviously waiting for some major event to happen.

Could it be that he was waiting for Chu Huer on the periphery to immediately attack the car that was also there?

The cavalry launched an attack. This was planned in advance. Why did it have to be behaved like this?

The bronze horn obtained from the Russians kept sounding and had no intention of stopping immediately, which made both Aziz and Mansour suspicious.

According to the previous plan, since the Ottomans had already attacked the city wall at this time, the Truchen Army should use a small number of troops to assist the Ottomans in the attack, and use a large number of troops to assist the Chechens in the attack, because the Chechens attacked for half a day and suffered casualties.

It's a heavy blow. If the attack continues, the whole army will be wiped out.

Although the Chechens and the Ottomans are not at odds with each other, they are the only allies of the Ottomans in the North Caucasus. If Aziz wants to pass through this area in the future, he cannot lose this ally.

Therefore, although he is happy to see a large number of casualties among the Chechens, he is not willing to see it too heavy.

The brass horn continued to blow, but the pause between the two sides was short-lived. The Ottomans who had already attacked the city continued to fight with the Alans, and a large number of Ottomans were climbing up the wooden ladder.

In fact, in this case, the Ottomans could capture the southern city wall.

But Aziz doesn't think so. According to his intelligence, there are tens of thousands of young men in Alan City. If a section of the city wall is not captured and stabilized as soon as possible, it is not certain who will win after a stalemate.

"Gah..."

At this moment, almost at the same time, both the north and south gates of the city were opened, and the tall and heavy wooden doors made of beech from the Caucasus Mountains and reinforced with iron bars made a huge and harsh creaking sound.

Kitard's brows finally relaxed.

Raphael in the city finally lived up to his trust and persuaded other leaders to take the initiative at the critical moment!

As mentioned before, in addition to a thousand Armenian cavalry, there were also a thousand Alans' cavalry in the city. At this time, they all moved out. Not only that, a thousand infantry troops were also dispatched on each side!

Of course, the Christians only had a small number of muskets, and some were only broadswords and spears. The key to victory or defeat lay in the one thousand cavalry!

At present, due to concerns that the Russians may arrive at any time, both the Chechens and the Ottomans have no reservations and have brought all their military forces to the battlefield. Once the Alans come out, it means that both sides will soon face a decisive battle in the field.

The scene that determines the outcome!

In fact, neither Aziz nor Mansour were unprepared for this section, because although the defense team had crude weapons, they had more people, and they had a numerical advantage whether they were trapped or attacking.

For Aziz, it would be good if they could take the initiative to attack. Although their side has already attacked the city, it is just an illusion, because once there is a close encounter at the city, the power of firearms at this time is more powerful than a fire stick.

It's not much stronger, and in the end the victory will be determined by fighting with cold weapons.

But based on Aziz's own experience, once the city is attacked, the morale of the defenders will immediately drop to freezing point, so it is very likely to win without a fight.

As the Alans took the initiative to attack, the morale of the defenders on Chengtou Mountain was greatly boosted. The Ottomans who had already attacked the city gradually became unable to hold on. The area of ​​the city wall they occupied became smaller and smaller, and there were strong signs of being driven off the city wall.

.

"Inform Mansour to eliminate the Christians leaving the city as soon as possible!"

Seeing that the enemy took the initiative to attack, Aziz breathed a sigh of relief. His troops had been waiting outside, and there were still three to four hundred cavalry. With their well-trained combat power, they defeated the outbound troops in a short time.

can be expected.

On the Chechen side, in addition to the two thousand cavalry sent to the periphery, there are more than a thousand cavalry beside Mansour, plus nearly three thousand infantry, they can also defeat the Alans in a short time!<

/p>

At the same time, although he felt a little strange about the bronze trumpet of the Truchen people, he still issued an order to Kitard.

"Fight with me from front to back and defeat the Alans as soon as possible!"

In addition, in order to encourage the Truchen people to enter the battle as soon as possible, he also added a sentence.

"After taking the city of Alan, except for those ten thousand people, Alagir will be yours"

So Alan City will be left to the Chechens. After hearing this, Kitard couldn't help but snorted inwardly.

Even so, he still took action.

The strange thing is that he did not send all the people out. He asked Tie Chenna to lead 750 people to attack the north gate, and Shen Muhua to lead 750 people to attack the south gate. He still stayed at the original position.

The earth does not move.

At this moment, the sound of the copper horn on the mountain finally changed, from the original long and continuous sound to a short and exciting sound.

Since there were Truchen people on the periphery, in order to defeat the Alans as soon as possible, Mansur decided not to deploy too many cavalry there, leaving only 500 cavalry. On the surface, it was to monitor the Cossacks, but in fact, he also monitored Chu Hu.

Er.

Just when the Chechen cavalry was about to turn around and charge towards Alan City, Chu Huer launched!

The Truchins launched an attack on the Chechen cavalry!

Kitard was also dispatched, and he took the remaining 500 cavalry and rushed towards the Chechen cavalry!

Although Kitard has participated in several battles since he was formed into an army, this is the first battle of this scale. From an experience point of view, he is not as good as Chuhu'er.

If he were a person from a later generation who had come through flesh-and-blood clothing, and opposite him were Chechen men all covered with thick black turbans and full of beards. Faced with such a scene, it would be impossible not to be afraid, but he had just

As soon as I rushed to the battlefield, I didn't even have a trace of timidity.

He naturally knew that it was Sarai's bravery and fearlessness as a Mongolian in his body that supported him.

His place was only two miles away from the outer perimeter, and the war horses arrived in an instant. At this time, the Chechen cavalry was suddenly attacked but did not panic. Abdullah, who led this army, personally left a thousand cavalry to deal with Chuhu'er.

The remaining one thousand riders continued to run towards Alan City!

As a result, Kitard quickly encountered this returning Chechen cavalry!

As for the cavalry, in addition to strengthening their stability and reliability in fighting with a flintlock blunderbuss in one hand and a saber in the other, Kitard is usually the same as later generations, mainly training in slashing and stabbing with the sword.

Based on his understanding of the history of the development of firearms, the best choice was to immediately load the breech with paper-shell flash cap Mini bullets. However, due to time constraints, he could not get it right in one step, so he had to stick to the easy-to-make first.
p>

The biggest problem with breech-loading paper-shell flash cap Mini bullets is that all muskets must be engraved with rifling. This section can be realized by Kitard, but it is not realistic to realize it in large quantities.

He still needs time.

However, the flintlock short musket with a high firing rate is still unparalleled for the Chechens who only have a saber in their hands.

Kitard only left 500 people for himself. In addition to the limited number of people, he naturally had another idea.

The Chechen cavalry on the opposite side had long expected that the hateful Truchen people would be blocking the way, but when they saw that the number of the other side was only half of their own, in order to end the battle as soon as possible, they immediately dispersed their troops and prepared to surround Kitard's cavalry.

This is exactly what Kitard wants to see.

If the Chechen cavalry were charging towards him in a long snake formation, it would be useless even if he had a flintlock musket in his hand. The result would be a head-on one-on-one fight, a scene he did not want to see.
p>

The opponent dispersed and encircled him, but he also dispersed the five hundred cavalry, and then plunged straight into the enemy's formation!

Before that, Kitard asked everyone to wear masks with ghost patterns, naturally not to scare the enemies, but to distract them.

This time, Kitard personally rushed to the front.

All equipment and tactics need to be verified by yourself.

When the Chechen cavalry is preparing to encircle the Truchin cavalry in a skirmishing formation, in order to complete this step as quickly as possible, it is necessary to disperse significantly, otherwise it will become a mess.

The leader of this cavalry, Abdullah, was Mansour's nephew and the leader of the Chechen nomadic tribe. He was very good at cavalry combat. Although he had fought with the Russians before, the Cossacks did not have flint in their hands.

A short blunderbuss is a head-on collision between saber and saber.

Although the Cossacks' sword skills and tactics are superior, it is not easy to defeat the opponent quickly in the cold weapon era, unless you regain the tactics of heavy armored cavalry, which is obviously not advisable.

As a result, when a thousand Chechen cavalry surrounded them in a skirmish formation, it turned into an arc about two hundred meters long and more than ten meters wide. Kitard's five hundred cavalry were just like a smaller circle inside this arc.

arc.

All Truchen cavalry use their legs to control the horses, and the saber in their right hand is mainly used for blocking. They are all Mongolian teenagers who grew up on horses. In terms of equestrian skills alone, they are still superior to the Chechens, because here

Due to the abundant pastures in the foothills of the Caucasus, the Chechens do not need to migrate at all.

In fact, they are settled herders, and the Turghut people's territory reaches to the Ural River in the east. Could it be that the North Caucasus stretches for more than a thousand miles, and the quality of pasture is not good, so they need to move from time to time. Therefore, they have been born since birth.

He lives with horses, and his familiarity with horses is much higher than that of Chechens.

Using sabers to fight on war horses is a necessary skill for them, but it is impossible to kill the enemy in one round. The Chechen cavalry are not without skills. They only know how to charge to the death.

It's quite impressive to fight right away.

But on the other hand, it is impossible for the opponent to kill you in one round.

Therefore, the role of the short flint gun in the left hand became prominent.

When two cavalrymen fight together, the distance between the two sides will not exceed one foot. At this distance, the Truchin cavalry can easily hit the enemy on the left with the short flintlock gun in their left hand!

Kitard's flint-hair short musket is front-loaded. It is usually inserted with a wooden stick. It is pulled out when encountering an enemy. The primer in the primer pool is also prepared in advance, so I want it to be effective immediately.

, it depends on the firing rate.

The so-called firing rate depends on the force with which the faucet holding the flint hits the wall of the primer pool. The greater the force, the larger the sparks will be, making it easier to ignite the primer.
