Ottoman Pikeman (Turkey, Algeria)
In addition to janissaries with shooting weapons, there were soldiers armed with pikes and yataghans in Ottoman Empire. Their mission was to defend
shooters from cavalry charges and counterattack enemy forces. At the times of low rate of musket fire and low shot effectiveness, cold steel fighters
were of great importance. In the Turkish army, there were both well-trained pikemen and numerous irregular forces. Cold steel was sometimes supplemented
with bows, pistols, or muskets.
