Chapter 418

    At the front were Crimean slave soldiers. These Tatars only wore robes and felt hats. Their only armor was a simple shield. These cannon fodder hurled bows and arrows into the carriage while charging. Unfortunately, most of their bows were made in a rough way. They could not penetrate the mercenary''s inferior chest armor at a medium and long distance, and could only cause damage at a very close distance. However, the Hessen mercenary''s musket could penetrate 2-3 enemies at a close distance.


    "Allah Juan Keba!"


    Although they were poorly equipped, these Crimean slave soldiers rushed to the carriage with high religious fanaticism. They lost their bows and arrows, bit a simple Tatar saber in their mouth, and climbed up the carriage with their hands.


    The Musketeers on the carriage put down their muskets. They slashed the hands on the carriage with chopping axes and page hammers, and the long Musketeers also stabbed the enemy outside through the triangular firing hole on the carriage baffle.


    From time to time, Crimean slave soldiers who broke their palms and were stabbed to death fell to the ground like sacks, but the slave soldiers behind ignored their companions'' bodies and continued to climb. Soon, the bodies in some places were more than half a person high in front of the carriage. Slowly, the Crimean slave soldiers in front of several carriages stepped on the body and were able to jump into the carriage.


    "Hand gun, hand gun!" Colson shouted from a carriage. Waving a halberd in both hands, he cut the heads of two exposed Crimean slave soldiers in half.


    On hearing the order, the mercenary between the wagon chains pointed the loaded hand gun at the enemy outside. Dozens of lead bullets were ejected from each hand gun, and the fire immediately swept the area in front of them. All the people who were shot were fragmented.


    This terrible death shocked the living slave soldiers, or awakened them from religious fanaticism. When they found that Allah could not protect themselves from these pagans, the slave soldiers collapsed.


    I don''t know who screamed. Then more and more slave soldiers shouted. They threw their shields, sabers, bows and arrows to the ground and ran away.


    The long gunmen on the carriage leaned out. They picked up the stacked bodies in front of the carriage with long halberds to avoid being used by the Tatars.


    "Your Majesty, we have won." Colson returned to Christina and asked her for credit excitedly.


    But Christina''s face was not happy. The former queen just stared at a place in the dark ahead.


    Arhun mirzan (mirzan refers to a feudal noble man of a brilliant family, which means a little vassal. Generally, those who can be called mirzan must come from the descendants of Mongolian noble families such as bo''erzhijin, duo huoratti, balulasi, churatsi, Hongjila, zalayer, etc.) riding on a war horse, with hundreds of Crimean garrison standing behind him.


    Crimean garrison is the only arm of Crimean Khanate that uses muskets. Because Crimea cannot mass produce muskets and gunpowder, musketeers are precious among Tatars. They not only enjoy higher salaries, but also have valuable Chain Armor as protection. And this is the treatment that even some close combat soldiers don''t have.


    Ah erhun Milu turned a blind eye to the Crimean slave soldiers who retreated to his mount. These humble slave soldiers were his tools to test the enemy. Ah erhun also stared at a place in the dark, because his sixth sense like a prairie Eagle felt a bunch of eyes from the dark - eyes full of war.


    "If you want to fight, fight!"


    At the thought of Genghis Khan''s famous words, ah''erhun''s blood boils. With only one gesture, the flag bearer around him would understand.


    The flag bearer blew a huge conch, two teams of Crimean zasack cavalry and the reconstituted Crimean heavy armor cavalry scattered towards the two wings, while the garrison moved forward with neat steps.


    The huge sound of conch and footsteps naturally attracted the attention of Hessen mercenaries, who were waiting for the enemy''s third attack.


    The Crimean garrison fired before the Hessian mercenaries. The bullet of the firerope gun hit the baffle of the carriage, and the sawdust flew sideways. From time to time, it also aroused a trace of spark. It was the bullet that hit the iron sheet wrapped on the baffle.


    The mercenaries couldn''t lift their heads under the constant sound of guns. But soon, they found the way - these Crimean Musketeers did not fire together, they just fired with their personal skills. Such a hit rate is very low. It''s as difficult to hit as winning a prize.


    The gun rang for more than half an hour, and the Tatars showed no sign of attack. The mercenaries were no longer afraid. They even put a Taylor on the triangular muzzle to bet whether the bullets of the Crimean garrison could hit Taylor.


    The only ones still awake at this time are Christina and Colson. They never believed that the Tatar commander would waste bullets and gunpowder by shooting aimlessly.


    Just in case, Christina ordered the soldiers to throw triangular nails outside the carriage.


    The triangular nail is composed of four metal tips, three of which are supported on the ground and the other is upward.


    The main purpose of the triangular nail design is to hurt the moving horseshoes and soldiers'' feet, so as to stop and delay the advancing enemy and provide early warning. As long as a small number of triangular nails are scattered in a certain area, the enemy may be attacked, which has greatly met the purpose of defense.


    Sure enough, after more than ten minutes, there was a scream from the two wings of the carriage defense line.


    Originally, this is really a fool''s trick. He let the cavalry go around in a big circle to the two wings of the mercenary regiment''s defense line, dismount at a long distance, approach the carriage under the cover of the sound of guns, and then charge on foot by relying on the advantages of equipment and quantity.


    But Christina cracked it. The attacking Crimean Knights saw no hope of sneak attack and could only move forward hard against the dense projective fire in the carriage. Many lightly armed zasack cavalry were either shot into a sieve or fell to the ground and nailed to death.


    But anyway, with the advantage of equipment, the Knights finally rushed to the vehicle array after paying a heavy price to prepare for their best hand to hand combat.


    Crimea''s heavily armored Knights have trained in shooting and sabre since childhood, and are proficient in foot combat. In addition, they are from a nomadic family. They are born with a body suitable for riding and shooting. After training, everyone is an excellent knight. When it comes to individual combat, we can fight back and forth with Polish winged cavalry, Swedish pistol cavalry and czar Russian Boyer cavalry.


    But the carriage played an important role here. The halberds and spearmen stood on the chariot and hit and stabbed them with long pole weapons. When the Crimean heavy armor cavalry reluctantly held a steel shield to protect their face and climbed onto the chariot, the musketeers of the mercenary regiment pulled out short swords and page hammers to resist desperately. When a chariot is in an emergency, the chariot next to it will immediately provide fire support. At such a close distance, pistols and fire ropes can penetrate the armor in one shot.


    This time, the fierce battle was particularly fierce. The two sides fought from dark to early morning, and even Christina took the sword. Finally, the Crimean heavy cavalry began to fall apart.
