- When the white fish belly appeared in the east, the army of the Dragon Empire gathered together early. Hot weapons and cold weapons were mixed in a large square formation. Xia Bolong came with all the soldiers and waited quietly to attack the camp. of Seljuks.
Just as Mandesa guessed, the Seljuks came, bringing with them a mighty army of 60,000.
The two armies are five or six miles apart. Lin Chong leads 10,000 Dragon Guards on the left, Qin Ming leads 10,000 Dragon Guards on the right, and Buelaha's 5,000 Desert Rangers are at the back of the team, protecting the artillery. To comfort, Moro led 10,000 cavalry to stand in the front, while Yelu Dashi, Zhang Dakhan, Liu Chengzong, Bai Baiwen and others followed Xia Bolong and guarded the center with 10,000 dragon guards, 5,000 Khitan cavalry and 5,000 infantry. military.
"Your Majesty, the Seljuk people are not easy to form, their formations are scattered, and they are completely in an offensive posture. If our defense is not tight enough, they can easily break through our formation. Test text watermark 9." Yelu Dashi looked at the stuff for a while After the Erzhu people's team, they hurriedly said.
"Wouldn't it be easier to fight without a formation?" Xia Bolong asked, "What's there to worry about?"
"No, Your Majesty, please see, the Seljuks are in a team of ten people. Although there is no formation at first glance, this is the usual attack posture of the cavalry. The pointed cone shape they put up is like They are like sharp knives. Once they rush to the front of the formation, if we do not block it, these cavalry will be like sharp knives directly inserted into our army's formation, which can defeat our army's formation in a short period of time, thus Separate our entire army and defeat them one by one!" Yelu Dashi analyzed. Test text watermark 9.
After Tang Yiming heard this, he looked over and saw that the formation of the Seljuqs was like sharp knives. He hurriedly asked: "Prime Minister Yelu, to be honest, I don't know much about military affairs. So what do you mean, how should we conduct this battle?"
"Does Your Majesty want to annihilate them all or capture them all?" Yelu Dashi asked.
"Total annihilation! We don't have much food left, and we don't have enough spare food to feed these prisoners. Besides, even if these people are captured, they will not surrender to me easily. There is still an essential difference between us and them." Xia Bolong said.
"Understood." Yelu Dashi nodded, stretched out his hand, smoothed the few strands of green hair under his chin, and said slowly: "Your Majesty, we have guns, but the cannons can only shoot at long distances. Once they are The Seljuk cavalry rushed in front of them, and the cannons were of no use. Test text watermark 6. I thought that before the Seljuks attacked, they would bombard them first, and the Dragon Guards would It is a unit equipped with muskets and has strong combat effectiveness. However, since each shot needs to be loaded with bullets, this has also become a weakness of the Dragon Guard. In order to make up for this shortcoming, your Majesty, please let Moro, Rebu Bala, and Zhang Dahan The others led the cavalry to attack from the front, and then Lin Chong and Qin Ming detoured from the left and right wings. Your Majesty's 10,000 dragon guards from the central army could follow the cavalry. In this way, even if the Seljuqs were not completely annihilated, they would be Seriously hit!"
"Haha, the analysis is very good. Because of your presence along the way, the army suffered very few casualties. You are really a military genius. Test text watermark 7. I don't necessarily need to know military, as long as I know how to appoint wise men like you. That¡¯s it!¡± Xia Bolong said happily, ¡°Give me the order and start the attack according to the Prime Minister¡¯s deployment!¡±
After the order was conveyed, the Seljuks still held a wait-and-see attitude in front of the Dragon Emperor's army, because their army was equal in number to the Dragon Empire's army, and they saw that the Dragon Empire's army was neat and tidy, so they still had concerns. While they were hesitating, they suddenly heard a series of gunshots. Black shells struck from high in the sky and exploded in the ranks of the Seljuqs, causing people to fall on their backs and their bodies to be bloody.
At the same time, Moruo, Rebubala, and Zhang Dahan quickly rushed out with 15,000 cavalry. Lin Chong and Qin Ming each led 10,000 dragon guards to outflank them from the left and right wings. Xia Bolong, Yelu Dashi, Bai Baiwen and Liu Chengzong rushed over with the Dragon Guards and infantry. Test text watermark8.
The roar of the artillery killed many Seljuks in an instant. Before they could figure out what was going on, the Seljuks, whose ears were ringing, saw all the Dragon Emperor troops on the opposite side coming over. . The Seljuks did not choose to retreat at this time, but resolutely attacked them, fighting in a melee with the Dragon Empire's army.
The sound of artillery stopped and gunfire continued. The Dragon Guards opened fire a few hundred meters away from the Seljuks. Lin Chong and Qin Mingchong suppressed the Seljuks on the left and right wings, gradually forming a siege.
Screams, gunshots, screams, curses, and the sound of weapons clashing were all mixed together. Test text watermark8. The air was mixed with the smell of blood and gunpowder, which was very pungent.
The battle was going on fiercely. At the beginning, it was still a melee. Later, the whole battle turned into?Slaughter, the massacre of the Seljuks by the Dragon Empire. When cold weapons encounter an army that uses a mixture of cold and hot weapons, it is self-evident who wins and who loses.
More than an hour later, the Seljuks could not withstand the attack of the Dragon Emperor's troops and began to retreat, while the Dragon Empire's army began to pursue them. The two armies seemed to be in a race, chasing each other. After running for more than thirty miles, the Dragon Empire's army rushed to the city of Samarkand.
Faced with the fierce pursuit of the Dragon Emperor's army, the remaining thousands of Seljuqs did not choose to enter Samarkand, but fled all the way west without stopping. Test text watermark 5.
After the Dragon Empire's army pursued for a while, they stopped chasing. Instead, they turned around and surrounded Samarkand heavily.
Chabarron asked archers with good archery skills to shoot arrows into the city from all directions. The arrows were also tied with letters that had already been written to persuade them to surrender. The letter clearly pointed out that the blame was only on Mondelier and had nothing to do with anyone else. Those who surrender are the people of the Dragon Empire.
When a thousand letters persuading surrender were fired into the city of Samarkand, Chabaron waited quietly outside the city, glanced at Mandesa beside him, and asked: "Mandesa, the little khan in the city is going to Surrender?"
"Don't worry, your majesty. I have written it clearly. As long as your majesty waits patiently for an hour or two, Samarkand will definitely open the city gate, welcome your majesty into the city, and present Mondeliel's head at the same time!" Mandesa! Said confidently. Test text watermark 5.
"Mandersa, do you think the defeated Seljuk soldiers will attract more troops when they return?" Chaberon asked.
Mandesa nodded and said: "This is certain. The Seljuks have not been defeated so miserably for a long time. More than 50,000 of their 60,000-strong army were annihilated. Their corpses piled up like mountains and blood flowed like rivers. They must have He will lead an army to take revenge."
"In this case, we must make defensive preparations in advance. From Seljuk to Samarkand, which city is the nearest?" Chaberon asked.
Mandesa replied: "It is Phualuo City. Phualuo City originally belonged to our Black Khan Dynasty. The Seljuks captured it two years ago and wanted to use it as a springboard to attack Samarkand. However, at that time Samarkand is heavily defended and they dare not mess around. Test text watermark 4. Now that they have come to seize Samarkand, they will definitely send a large army."
¡°Is there any place with dangerous terrain between Puhualuo and Samarkand?¡±
Mandesa thought for a while and then said: "No, but the Katwan Grassland blocks the main road between the two cities. If the Katwan Grassland can block the Seljuks, Samarkand may be able to avoid the war! "
"Well, once we capture Samarkand, I will lead the army to Katwan and fight in the wild. Artillery can also be of great use." Chaberon said.
After waiting for about an hour, the city gate of Samarkand opened, and the small khans in the city lined up one after another, presented Mondelier's head, and begged Chabaron for forgiveness. Test text watermark8.
After receiving the letter of persuasion to surrender, the small khans in Samarkand were shocked because they saw with their own eyes that the powerful Seljuks were defeated by the Dragon Empire, and only less than 5,000 of the 60,000-strong army remained. , they are afraid. After receiving the letter of persuasion to surrender, a wave of resistance against Montreal arose throughout the city. Although Montreal's army had an overwhelming advantage in numbers, in the face of the rebellion of the people and the rebellion of some in his army, Montreal was eventually outnumbered and was killed by the rebels in the city.
Entering the city of Samarkand, Chabaron had no time to appreciate the beautiful scenery in the city. While appeasing the small Khans, he asked Mandesa to help the Dragon Empire army replenish food and water. He hurriedly summoned the old generals in the hall.
"Your Majesty, there are a large number of rebels. If our army leaves and fights with the Seljuks in Katwan, and they rebel again, we will be attacked from both sides. Your Majesty, please think twice!" Bai Baiwen said.
"According to my estimation, the Seljuks will definitely send more than 150,000 troops. If we don't go to Katwan to snipe the Seljuks, we will be surrounded by the Seljuks in the city of Samarkand. The water source comes from a river outside. If they cut off the water source outside the city, we will die of thirst inside. And the beautiful city of Samarkand cannot withstand the ravages of war. If it is besieged, the city will definitely It will take a lot of effort to rebuild once it is destroyed, and it will not be restored in a short period of time. If those rebels rebel again under pressure, they open the city gates and then re-siege Samarkand. , it is much more difficult to attack again." Xia Bolong explained.
"Your Majesty, let's fight. Go to Katwan and attack the Seljuks. With our strength, not to mention 150,000, even 350,000 can successfully repel them!" Moro shouted.
"Yes, Your Majesty, fight! The Seljuks who were beaten will not dare to invade this city again, and they will be frightened by the news!" Lin Chong said.
Xia Bolong looked at Yelu Dashi who was silent and asked, "Prime Minister Yelu, what do you mean?"
