To be honest, the combat effectiveness of the Ottoman Empire's reformed army legions is quite good. otbnkotgt In fact, if the person in charge of the Ottoman Empire was William, then he would never regard the development of dark elves or new army war machine troops as a line or national policy.
Because although they have superior combat power, they are too expensive and too rare.
It is not suitable to exist as a standing army.
He would vigorously develop these Army Corps.
In fact, with the Ottoman Empire's national power and manpower, they could mobilize and arm more than 400,000 of the most elite reform army regiments.
As long as there is a sufficient reward mechanism, instead of simply using these army regiments as cannon fodder and second-rate troops, then these armies will definitely burst into very strong combat effectiveness.
So now, the military crisis of the Ottoman Empire can naturally be solved.
Of course, it was just a casual comment since the time had not yet been filed.
He believed that there were very few rulers in the world who could do all this.
After all, being able to do all this is equivalent to reshaping the order of the entire Ottoman Empire.
In the absence of comprehensive reform, simple reform of the military system will only turn into a disaster.
An army whose status does not match the power it actually wields will naturally launch a rebellion and overthrow the ruling class of the empire.
Therefore, what is really correct is to launch a comprehensive reform and comprehensive reform of all policies of the Ottoman Empire.
Of course, this will never be accepted by those with vested interests, especially the dark elves.
These guys don't even accept children born after mixing with humans.
Even the poorest and most embarrassed dark elves will not marry the most powerful and powerful humans.
Under these circumstances, it is completely unimaginable that these dark elves would accept any form of reform.
"So, Dark Elf, the Ottoman Empire is over, completely over.
No one, no power, no effort can make this empire continue to exist."
William thought in his heart.
Even if these bastards finally win this battle, or even the entire war, even if these guys then occupy the entire Zoroaster, or even control the vast area of Indy, their final result must be failure.
It will definitely be wiped out by the more powerful conqueror, the Human Empire.
Or be struck down, divided, and destroyed by turmoil from below.
This is the ultimate fate of the dark elves.
Although the war is still going on, William's eyes have seen through the fog of history and seen the scene in the next few decades, a hundred years, or even hundreds of years later.
No matter what, he is the winner, no matter what, even the Ottoman Empire, which now seems very powerful, very crazy, and even very rampant with the dark elves, is the same.
As time goes by, this empire will become weaker and weaker.
In the end, they will be completely wiped out and eventually become an insignificant second-rate or even third-rate country.
I can only indulge in delusions of overestimation while remembering the glory of the past and so on.
"Of course, even if this is the case, I never thought about losing this battle."
William thought in his heart, then gritted his teeth and ordered the artillery to bombard the front line indiscriminately.
"But there are still our own people ahead."
A staff officer beside him looked at William in disbelief and said.
"They are the new vassals, they are Cossacks.
They are not our own people, at least not yet our own people.
Since these guys claim to be loyal, since these guys want to get closer to us and become a part of the empire, then Let them prove their loyalty on their own."
William stared at the staff officer so hard that the poor young man shuddered.
In this way, William's order was implemented in the shortest possible time.
The empire's front line gradually stabilized, and large numbers of our own soldiers and enemy soldiers were blasted into the sky by the artillery units of the Hereford family under such indiscriminate bombardment.
The troops of the Hereford family can find trenches and anti-gun holes to prevent accidental damage, but the opponent cannot.
In this way, the Reform Army Corps, which originally had a low fighting spirit, collapsed in the shortest possible time.
The men of several regiments were turned into cannon fodder, and thousands of corpses fell.
At the same time, more soldiers retreated "These bastards, why don't you charge?
The opponent's line is already in chaos.
As long as you continue to charge, you will win.

Why don't those bastards charge?"
On the opposite side, in the dark elf army, the female Sultan Fatima gritted her teeth as she watched the battle situation change. , shouted angrily like this Of course, things are exactly as she said, and the empire is currently at a disadvantage.
If it weren't for this wave of indiscriminate bombardment, the Army Corps would have won.
However, things just don't happen by chance.
"Kill them, kill those cowards."
After issuing the battlefield discipline instructions without mercy, the female sultan immediately ordered new troops to launch an attack.
A new army regiment quickly rushed towards the front line of the Hereford Expeditionary Force, which was just about to wake up.
These war machine-like soldiers fear no casualties and ignore death.
Even though the Herefords used indiscriminate artillery bombardment again, they still took down this line of defense.
At the same time, the cavalry battle on the flanks was coming to an end.
The Hereford family's cavalry group was ultimately no match for the Levantine's camel cavalry.
After a period of resistance, they had to retreat or flee back.
In this way, after paying great casualties and costs, the Ottoman Empire's army finally captured the Hereford family's first line of defense.
Shortly after this, night fell.
The second line of defense of the Hereford family expeditionary force was attacked by the dark elves at night.
After igniting the crude oil and forming a wall of fire to offset the enemy's pursuit, this line of defense also announced that it had changed hands.
Next, is the battle on the second day.
The Ottoman Empire army continued to attack regardless of casualties.
This time, the dark elf army finally launched an attack in daylight.
With the cavalry in the lead, followed by a large number of fusiliers armed to the teeth, including new army soldiers and dark elves.
These troops braved the artillery of the Hereford Family Expeditionary Force and strode forward.
After a heavy volley a bayonet charge was launched Seeing that the third line of defense was crumbling, William made a prompt decision and dispatched the Guards Cavalry and the Legionary Cavalry.
With the musketeers in the lead.
Regular army cavalry troops attacked from the flank.
Although the female sultan Fatima immediately issued an order, a mixed force composed of the remaining Turkic cavalry and Levantine camel cavalry launched a counterattack against William's legionary cavalry and Janissary cavalry.
But it was meaningless.
The intensive musket fire, coupled with the assault of the lancers, quickly overwhelmed the Turkic and Levantine cavalry.
Then, the cavalry group coming from the flanks greatly disrupted the infantry group composed of dark elves and new army troops.
At the same time, the Hereford family's artillery unit increased their firing rate.
Ignoring the risk of exploding the barrel, shells rained down on them like hail of steel.
Those shrapnel shells that exploded and scattered countless steel balls caused great damage to the opponent's dense array.
In this case, even though the Dark Elf troops and the New Army troops were still able to persevere tenaciously.
However, their tactical goal of attacking the Hereford Family Expeditionary Force was already difficult to achieve.
Seeing that our own troops suffered heavy losses, and there was no tactical significance at all.
Although the female sultan Fatima on the opposite side was unhappy and unwilling, she still ordered her troops to retreat temporarily.
Rest again.
After all, for the Ottoman Empire, the New Army troops and the Dark Elf Guards were truly important direct line troops.
The heavy casualties would naturally make people feel heartbroken.
In this way, the battle during the day ended the next day.
On the second night, the dark elves launched another night attack.
Although the resistance of the Hereford family expeditionary force was more tenacious than yesterday.
But still to no avail.
The final result of the battle was still the victory of the Dark Elves of the Ottoman Empire.
Just because of the obstacles of oil defense lines and flames, they were unable to expand their results.
Just like that, it was daytime on the third day.

Both sides, William's army and the Ottoman army, were already very tired, or very tired.
In the previous storm, the Ottoman Empire destroyed two reform army legions and two new army legions.
At the same time, a dark elf legion suffered heavy losses.
Add to this the losses of the previous month, as well as the losses of Levantine and Turkic cavalry.
Half of the Ottoman Empire's 200,000-strong army had actually disappeared.
Of course, in contrast, the Hereford family's army also suffered heavy casualties.
Most of the nearly 200,000 new auxiliary troops lost their combat effectiveness.
There were even some small tribes where all the men died.
If the combat effectiveness of these guys hadn't declined, and if other armies of the Hereford family had not taken a closer look at them, these guys would have dispersed by now.
But even so, in the next war, it is still unknown whether these guys will work hard and how hard they will work.
The Cossack army also suffered heavy casualties, but was barely recovering.
Although they were "looked at differently" by William, the atmosphere in their army was much more stable than that of the new annexed army.
In William's opinion, this is the difference between a domesticated dog and a wolf.
However, it is still unknown whether the Cossack army that lost half of it still has combat effectiveness.
Finally, William's two main steppe legions and his 35,000 Guards Cavalry Brigade still have 30,000 people who maintain good and sufficient physical strength.
At the same time, with William's deliberate guarantee, their bullets were also prepared to fight two or even three battles.
This is William's trump card, and it is also the guarantee that William still has confidence and can win this war160420oshow7:
