Chapter 566: The End Is Coming


"It doesn't matter if you can win. otbnkotgt In any case, even if this war really ends with the defeat of the Uzbeks.

But you can be beaten to death, but you can't be scared to death.

After all, he is also a Khan, and he has eaten and seen it.

It would be a shame if they were frightened by William and defeated before fighting.

"Calm down, even if we lose this battle, there will be no problem.

As long as we can hold on, as long as my main force is still there, then there will be a day when we can make a comeback."

He kept saying this to himself in his heart.

Yes, for nomads, making a comeback is very simple, not even once or twice.

The uncertainty of the nomads and their tendency to rely on the strong make a comeback very possible.

As long as it has the ability to rise, the army will snowball and get bigger and bigger, just like Temujin back then.

Genghis Khan was also defeated back then.

After the Battle of Thirteen Wings, he was beaten by his godfather and his brothers and could only hide next to a smelly ditch and live by drinking mud soup.

What was the result?

Didn't he get up again in the end?

If Temujin already had a certain foundation at that time and his strength was not damaged, then let’s talk about Yelv Dashi.

At that time, the entire Liao Kingdom was defeated by the Jurchens who were rising rapidly.

In the Battle of Hubu Dagang, the 800,000-strong army was defeated by 20,000 people from the opposite side.

Although Yelu Dashi was also one of the top talents of that era, he was still unable to save himself in the face of the general situation and had no choice but to flee.

How many people were around Yelu Dashi who was fleeing at that time?

two hundred.

Yes, two hundred people ran from the east to what is now Central Asia in one breath.

In what was later called the Great Expedition, Yelu Dashi's army also snowballed in size.

After arriving in Central Asia, he had conquered enough to establish a powerful nomadic empire.

This is Xiliao, which can be called the hegemon of Central Asia in history.

After the establishment of Xiliao, they once fought against the Jin Kingdom of the Jurchens, and the result was a powerful existence with one victory and one loss.

Then there is the Mughal Empire now and in William's memory of his previous life.

The predecessor was the descendant of the Turkic Mongol hero Timur, who claimed to be a descendant of Genghis Khan.

Babur Khan had been in the Persian region several times, but in the end he was still unable to establish Persian hegemony.

The Timur Empire, the former overlord of the Middle East, was no longer able to recover.

In this case, Babur Khan did not hesitate and left resolutely.

Then he conquered a large territory in India.

The Mughal Empire, which ruled large areas of India, emerged.

Of course, this also shows that the third brother's fighting ability is really not good.

No wonder they were enslaved for thousands of years.

Therefore, for the nomadic tribes, as long as there is an army, a leader, and a moment of ambition to conquer, everything is possible.

But even though I say that, isn't it a little bad to anticipate what will happen after the defeat before the war starts?

Well, actually it’s just not that good.

It’s not even that it’s not very good, it’s that it’s too bad.

Even Shaibani Khan thought so in his heart, let alone the other people under Shaibani Khan.

These guys must be scared to death.

There is certainly no confidence in this war.

Everyone from top to bottom has no confidence in the war, so there is no need to continue this war.

Everyone will suffer the consequences of surrendering to the province too early.

Therefore, in this case, Shaibani Khan wanted to boost morale.

It's just a pity, and because it was under such circumstances, Shaibani Khan's method of boosting morale was nothing more than shouting and saying: "The other side is not scary at all."

Because the situation is already obvious.

The battle between the vanguards and scouts of both sides was almost over.

No miracles, no accidents, no mercy.

The vanguard of the Hereford family defeated and even wiped out their enemies without any effort.

By then, it will really be over.

Confidence and belief are often more important than military strength and strength.

It was like when Yelu Dashi had only two hundred cavalry under his command, he suddenly created a Central Asian overlord.

It's also like the Battle of Hubu Dagang, where the Liao's 800,000-strong army was knocked to the ground by 20,000 Jurchens.

The legend that the Jurchens were dissatisfied with tens of thousands of people was left behind.

Faith determines morale.

Nowadays, the Hereford family is naturally the party with higher morale.

"Cavalry tactics are all about speed.

It's a pity that there is no wireless telegraphy in this era.

Although I try my best to let those bastards recognize the flag, I'm afraid these guys don't have many decent ones.

Using messengers, for a cavalry battle It’s too slow.

So in the end, the best tactic is still that.”

William thought so in his heart.

At this moment, he, wearing heavy armor and riding the most powerful Haltekin horse, was standing at the front, with the double-headed black eagle flag representing the Empire Caesar beside him.

A total of one brigade, armed to the teeth of the Guards Cavalry, were at the forefront with him.

"What should it be?

Alexander's companion cavalry attacked King Darius.

Or, in other words, it was the overlord of Western Chu who stood against the water.

Well, but thinking about it carefully, it seems that my side has the advantage.

"William thought so in his heart

Yes, in this era when information dissemination is not fast enough, there is only one best tactic for cavalry warfare at the operational level.

That is, the cavalry commander personally went to the front line, tore apart the opponent's array with incredible morale, incredible courage, and incredible combat power, and then achieved victory.

As for the above three conditions, William has them all.

In this case, using this tactic is perfect. certainly.

Before that.

Still shelling.

A total of four cavalry divisions and four formal Cossack cavalry brigades carried a total of 600 cavalry guns, and their firepower was almost as good as that of some conventional troops with weaker firepower arrangements.

Using such firepower to bombard the opponent made William feel unbearable.

While the scouts on both sides were fighting in a bloody battle, the first batch of troops deployed on the front line were the empire's cavalry artillery.

Each of these artillery pieces is ridden by eight of the strongest draft horses.

They are lighter than ordinary six-pound cannons.

Although their range is shorter, their maneuverability is incredibly good.

Speaking of which, one of the reasons why Her Majesty Queen Victoria believed that William could not compete with her in this war was that she thought she had an advantage in terms of firepower.

The truth is this.

Using warships and having enough supply points, she could naturally bring in more and heavier artillery.

Generally speaking, artillery and cavalry cannot act together.

The former's poor mobility prevents the latter from exerting its speed advantage.

In a regular battle, the side with absolute firepower advantage would naturally win.

At least that's what Victoria thought.

Use hundreds, or even thousands of army heavy artillery, or even navy's 18-pound guns and 24-pound super-heavy artillery to bombard the opponent.

Pull the opponent into the hell of fire.

In this way, it is natural that the enemy cannot win.

Just thinking about this for a moment can make people feel very excited. real It's just a pity.

If he knew that William's army had six hundred six-pound cavalry cannons, and even among the baggage, there were hundreds of twelve-pounder Napoleon's guns that were usually not used, then she probably wouldn't, either.

I dare not think so anymore With this thought in his mind, he watched the battle on the front line almost come to an end.

William smiled and gave the order to fire a total of 600 artillery pieces.

Seven artillery positions were deployed and opened fire together within more than three minutes.

In an instant, the roar of the artillery shells shook the earth, almost making the enemy on the opposite side find it unbelievable, and Incredible casualties.

The enemy troops that had not yet been properly arrayed were instantly confused.

Whether they were fighting the Zoroastrians or the Tartaglia Khanate, they had never encountered such a situation.

None of them had ever withstood such a terrifying firepower bombardment, and none of them had enough awareness and mental preparation.

The violent explosions and the use of new types of artillery shells with explosives caused huge casualties and chaos in the opposite camp.

Shaibani Khan and the people around him felt as if the sky was falling and the earth was falling.

"Is this the end of the world?

Is this the end of the world?

Why can humans have such terrible weapons?"

Seeing his army of 100,000 wailing under such firepower, the other party made a sound like talking in sleep.

However, the next moment, Shaibani Khan gritted his teeth and persisted.

"Charge and charge the opponent only because of the strength of their artillery.

Any warrior can use their scimitar to cut off their heads in close combat.

These cowards who only hide behind the cannon need not be afraid of their darlings of Tengger, charge."

Tear them apart and crush them.

Just rush over and their artillery will be useless."

Following Shaibani Khan's order, a large number of Uzbek cavalry gritted their teeth and launched a charge towards the artillery position of the Hereford family.

Tens of thousands, tens of thousands, or even more cavalry moved at this moment.

The sound of horse hooves shook the earth and even gave people the illusion of an earthquake.

This is the power of the most powerful overlord on this grassland.

It was Shaibani Khan, an Uzbek, who was the foundation for the Khanate of Bukhara to rule this area.

His prestige, his ability, his brutal reputation and huge fear were like a huge hand in an instant, tightly holding the nomadic cavalry, allowing them to make the most terrifying decision to charge in an instant.

Although the formation has not been organized, the army has not been prepared.

But in this case, they no longer have enough time to prepare their formation and make any preparations.

Charge, or retreat.

Now there are only two paths left for them to take.

In this case, let's charge. 160420oshow7:
