Chapter 29: Nogai Storm (11) The Final Battle (Part 2)

Although they are all on the shore, Tilaspol is still seven or eight miles away from the Transnistria River.

Mustafa did not hesitate at all and took ten thousand Tatar cavalry to the bridge.

It took at least an hour for ten thousand cavalry to pass the bridge and look at the shadowy city of Tiraspol in the distance, Mustafa was cursing in his heart.

"You and I are both Sultan's son-in-law. When we see the army arrive, why don't we come to welcome you? Are we still staying in Kishinau? Didn't the order from Vizier be issued long ago, asking him to take his army and food directly to Tiraspol to welcome you?"

Although he was a little dissatisfied, he still led his army to continue to drive towards the city of Tiraspool.

Halfway through the journey, the gate of the city of Tilaspol finally opened, and a team of cavalry flew out from it.

At this time, the distance between the two sides was at least one mile. Although some people came out of the city, the appearance of both sides was obviously unseen. However, as the Sultan son-in-law who believed in Islam, his status was obviously higher than that of Nicholas who believed in Christianity.

So he stopped and waited for Nicholas to come and explain.

As a major area in the border area, after crossing the river, the area of ​​the city of Tilaspol was empty. The trees had long been cut down by the residents on both sides of the shore, leaving only low bushes and weeds.

Mustafa obviously would not have thought that the Truchens would leave Odessa, which had a strong defense, and dared to come to fight with him. Therefore, when he crossed the river, the team was unprepared and sparse, laying a large area on this wilderness.

"Dadadada..."

But the Moldovan cavalry in front was obviously much more purged, and they rushed towards the Tatar cavalry in a rough square, rolling up a lot of dust and weeds along the way.

When the distance was about one or two hundred meters, the Tatar cavalry guarded in the distance suddenly shouted. There was no telescope around Mustafa, and he felt bad when he saw this.

But it was too late, and the cavalry on the opposite side had already rushed over!

At this moment, a large number of cavalry rushed over from the north and south sides of the Tatar cavalry!

"Single the enemy!"

Mustafa shouted. Although it was judged that the person coming was not friendly forces, in this world, due to the rise of firearms, the combat methods of most cavalry have changed significantly. They are no longer cavalry shooting. Cavalry with superior cavalry warfare can overwhelm everything.

But Mustafa still believed that he still insisted on the traditional Mamulik cavalry of riding and shooting. Although he encountered the enemy situation suddenly, as long as he resisted their initial attack, he could still turn defeat into victory.

He himself brought the three thousand Mamuliuk noble cavalry to meet him in front.

......

At this time, the cavalry who could take the initiative to fight was Truchen.

The Cossacks could not have penetrated deep into the Ottomans so much, so they could only be the Truchen Cavalry.

Yes, the person who came was the Techina Division summoned by Qitade. Since Techina did not participate in the war in the Junggar land, he was very dissatisfied. In order to balance his relationship and status with Chu Hur, Qitade finally transferred him to Kayasula Division as the commander.

Because the Kayasula Division is deep in the kingdom, it actually became the first mobile division in Qitad besides the Guard Division. In addition to being the commander of the division, Techina also served as the commander of the First Brigade.

The commander of the second brigade was Akdon, the commander of the former Alan brigade, and the commander of the third brigade was Yue Zhonglin.

At this point, it means that Nicholas, the lord of the city of Chishinau, had fully agreed to Qitad, otherwise the Ottoman army would not have received any news when it came.

Techina personally led the cavalry of the First Brigade to charge, and the Akden Brigade and Yue Zhonglin Brigade rushed over from the north and south sides.

When we arrived at this scene, Qitade's cavalry had completely abandoned their armor. All the cavalry dressed in military uniforms that were similar to later generations: large-brimmed hats, standing green tops, military green trousers, and high horse boots.

A cowhide strap with copper buckles was tied around his waist, two short guns, two knives, and a rifle was on his back.

With the widespread application of materials, processes and steam engines, the quality and efficiency of the Truchens making rotating pistols and rifles is getting higher and higher. At present, except for a very small number of guns, most of them are not a problem.

Because it was a wilderness, the Mamuliuk cavalry could not take a intensive charge. The reason why they were powerful was that they once defeated the Mongols was because they were descendants of the Turkic cavalry that ran across the entire Kazakh prairie in the Middle Ages and retained the Turkic cavalry that had previously fought habits.

They obviously trusted their cavalry and cavalry fighting skills very much. When they saw that the strange cavalry on the opposite side had not worn armor, they did not take down their bows and arrows to shoot - of course, it was too late to get too close.

Unlike the European cavalry at this time, the weapons in the Tatar cavalry were varied. They were all noble cavalry. They must have used whatever weapons the family was used to using, but they were just a temporary gathering together.

Since they were noble cavalry, their outfits were obviously very strong.

All the cavalry were wearing a shiny chain mail, and even the thick headscarf was wrapped in chain mail.

Unlike the Persians and Kazakhs, the Mamuliuk cavalry at the front was still a chain mail with all their bodies. Those with better conditions at home also had a mask, with only two eyes exposed.

They all rode tall Arab horses, and although the cavalry was heavy, the Arab horses were still effortless to rush.

The reason why the Ottomans were able to withstand the attacks of European powers until the 19th century was that their own Sipasi and Jenicheri had long been corrupt. What were really useful were the navy dominated by Barbary pirates and the Tatar cavalry dominated by Mamulik cavalry.

Techina is now in a high position, not only the mayor of the Kayasula Division and a high-ranking official in the Kayasula Province. He obviously would not rush forward in person, but he did not drag him in the back, but instead took charge of command. At this time, he also drew out two new generation rotary pistols.

A fatal blow with a pistol, abandoning complexity and lengthy cavalry battles, killing one thousand enemies and destroying eight hundred of them. This is Qitade's idea of ​​building an army.

Of course, although they mainly use pistols in their daily training, using sabers to engage in cavalry battles is also indispensable. Moreover, due to the scientific training method, their cavalry fighting skills are not much worse than those of Cossacks and Mamuluk who have been practicing since childhood.

"flutter....."

"Bang....."

The two armies collided fiercely. Although they would not ride horses to hit each other directly, they would pass through the gaps visible to each other, but in a highly tense battlefield, a small number of war horses could not be avoided in such a situation.

Because there is only so much space on the battlefield, it is impossible for everyone to be able to calmly intersperse.

When Techina also penetrated into the middle of the Mamulik cavalry, his eyes became extremely empty. In the past, although the Mamulik cavalry was fully armed and came fiercely, he was helpless when facing two pistols that could use freely and were still close to him.

No matter how powerful you are to use cold weapons such as sabers, spears, etc., you cannot withstand a pistol!

Techina followed the Truchen cavalry in front of him with some excitement. When he met the lonely Mamulik cavalry, he also gave him a pistol. It took less than twenty minutes at most, and his first brigade completely passed through the three thousand Mamulik cavalry of Mustafa.

When he turned his horse's head to observe the battle, except for the Akden Brigade on both sides of the north and south, the Yue Zhonglin Brigade was finishing, and the 3,000 Mamuliuk cavalry facing his first brigade could hardly see it.

Although Mustafa, although he was a nobleman of the Census, was obviously not a coward, but he fell down just now when the two sides attacked each other. In a cavalry battle of a considerable number, although he fell at the end, he had no chance to escape.

He was hit by two pistol bullets. In front of the conical bullets of the European rifled flintlock musket at this time, the chain mail was not worth a break.

If it was a round lead bullet with a silk shirt inside, they might be able to escape, but they would not have any chance in front of the cone bullet.

If a cone bullet encounters a ring of a chain mail, it will naturally penetrate it hard. If it hits the ring, it will either break it in an instant or shift it to the gap of the ring next to it, which can still cause fatal damage.

Although the war lasted less than half an hour, due to the large number of people on both sides, it almost covered the entire wilderness west of the city of Tiraspool.

When Nicholas, who was watching the battle on the west wall of the city, put down his telescope with some disbelief, the war ended completely.

Nicholas made a cross on his chest and then determined his choice again.

......

Binjeri.

The war in Hedong was going too fast. Due to early planning, the Techina people seized the bridge early in the morning, which made Mustafa's escaped fish not have the chance to run across the wooden bridge to inform Fred, who was receiving the consolation of the Moldovans under the city of Binjeri.

Although Fred was knowledgeable, he would not believe that ten thousand cavalry would be wiped out in just half an hour. Therefore, when he received supplies in the wilderness outside Binjeri, the 30,000 troops were completely in a mess. Since a large amount of baggage was in the army led by Great Vizier behind, they had to receive supplies here.

Although Fred was the commander of the three armies, the Albanians and Kosovans obviously would not listen to him. When Binjerry's supplies arrived, the two departments snatched all the food and grass shipments transported out, and Fred and his ten thousand Christians could only sigh at the city.

At this moment, Techina and three brigades of cavalry arrived!

There is no suspense. Facing the 30,000 infantry who were burying a pot and making rice, they only trained for half a year at most. When ten thousand cavalry swept over, it was even more thorough and cleaner than the autumn wind sweeping away the fallen leaves.

Of course, as a veteran, Fred surrendered immediately.

He had no reason to die for the Ottomans, as was the same with his ten thousand oppressed Christians. In the end, these Christians turned their guns to help the Truchens deal with the fleeing Albanians and Kosovans.

Thirty thousand people were all infantry with weak fighting spirit, which made it almost half a day before Techina was able to catch them all in one go.

Of course, facing such fierce cavalry, most of the infantry surrendered on the spot.

Rajp's 40,000 vanished army in less than a day. Even if he was cowardly by nature and was not familiar with the war, he would definitely not have thought of this scene.

However, what he never thought was still behind.

When Fred and others arrived at Binjeri, he brought ten thousand Sipasi and ten thousand Jenicheri to camp in Bunare (Tatarbunare), the old nest of Bujaknogues.

At this moment, Qitade personally took the Guard Division to land near Bunare by boat!
