Chapter 560: The Battle between the Manchus and the Persian Empire (3)
"Whew! Shout! Woohoo"
Before the two armies collided, both sides first fired a large rain of arrows at each other.
Because the commander did not know whether he was alive or dead, the army of the Persian Empire was leaderless, the soldiers and generals were disheartened, and many of them had not yet recovered from the horror of the commander being bombed and did not know whether he was shooting alive or dead, so the rain of arrows shot was obviously much more loose than Dorgon's iron cavalry.
A large number of Persian soldiers were killed by the rain of arrows, and Dolgon and other iron horsemen crashed into the Persian Emperor's ** array and slashed the Persian Empire soldiers on a large scale.
"Poof! Burst! Poof"
"Ahh
The Persian Emperor's ** team was defeated and retreated, with heavy casualties.
At this time, the commander of the Persian Empire, Kgreid, was dug out of the rubble by his guards
"Marshal Kgreid!"
"The marshal is alive!" Someone tried to find out that Kgridd still had breathing, and immediately shouted out with joy.
After the shouts and simple rescue of the guards, Marshal Kgridd finally woke up.
"Quick, go and tell the soldiers of the empire that the marshal is still alive!" The generals of the Persian Empire reacted instantly, and immediately said loudly to the others next to him.
More than a dozen guards rushed to the battlefield, tearing their throats and shouting.
"Marshal Kgridr is still alive!"
"Marshal Kgridd is still alive, Imperial soldiers, quickly, withstand the enemy's attack and kill them!"
As the news spread on the battlefield and learned that their commander had not been killed in the violent explosion just now, in an instant, their morale was greatly boosted, and they gradually reversed the imminent rout, temporarily withstanding the fierce attack of Dolgon and other 90,000 iron cavalry.
"Poof!"
Dorgon slashed at a Persian soldier who was screaming on the battlefield with his own hands, and the steel knife struck him in the face, and the Persian soldier who had been screaming all the time ago fell to the ground with terrible blood on his face.
Although Dolgon did not understand Persian and did not know what some of the Persian soldiers were shouting, it was not difficult for him to guess what was going on when he saw the reaction of the Persian soldiers.
"The commander of the Persian Empire was not directly killed!" Dolgon looked at the place where the commander of the Persian Empire was with a gloomy face, and sure enough, he saw a large number of Persian Empire soldiers gathered there, presumably the commander of the Persian Empire had just been rescued.
Although Dolgon was a little disappointed that the commander of the Persian Empire was not directly killed, he also considered this possibility from the beginning, so when the two armies fought, he deliberately brought two white flags as close to that place as possible.
"Kill!" Seeing that the commander of the Persian Empire was not directly killed, Dolgon immediately took the two white flags and iron cavalry around him without hesitation and slammed them towards the place where the commander of the Persian Empire was.
The two white banner iron horsemen beside Dolgon were undoubtedly extremely powerful, and they followed Dolgon to tear through the defenses of the Persian Empire's soldiers, killing at a very fast speed towards the place where the Persian Empire commander was.
"Protect Marshal Kgrid!"
A large number of Persian soldiers continued to come to stop Dorgon and the two white flags.
Dolgon kept wielding a long knife to slash the Persian Empire soldiers who came to stop him, and the two white flags were also fierce and abnormal, and the corpses were really killed all over the field, and the Persian infantry could not stop the powerful offensive of Dolgon and the two white flags.
Seeing Dolgon and the two white flags approaching, the Persian generals around Kgridd panicked.
"Quickly retreat with Marshal Kgreid, and let the cavalry and heavy armored men come and intercept!"
Although Kegrad was rescued, he did not breathe at all at this time, and let the Persian Empire soldiers retreat with him.
Soon, the only 10,000 cavalry and 3,000 heavily armored soldiers of the Persian Empire were transferred to stop Dorgon and the two white flag iron cavalry.
The 10,000 Persian cavalry were also fully armored iron cavalry, and the 3,000 heavily armored soldiers were wearing heavy iron armor, both of which were the elite of the Persian Empire.
"Boom Boom"
The twenty-seven imitation Shenwu field cannons on the city of Murkala did not stop roaring, just now they bombarded the place where the soldiers of the Persian Empire were concentrated, and now they found that the Persian Empire was not directly killed just now, so they once again aimed their guns at the position of the commander of the Persian Empire, Kgreid, and shelled fiercely!
"Boom Boom"
"Ahh Ahh
Powerful shells continued to explode, killing a large number of Persian soldiers who were protecting Kgrid. Braving heavy artillery fire, the Persian Empire soldiers desperately retreated with the wounded Kgrid.
When they retreated until they were two thousand meters away from the city of Murkara, they escaped the bombardment of the artillery, and such a distance was almost the most marginal area of the battlefield, which means that although the artillery fire on the city of Murkala could not continue to threaten Kgreid, it enveloped the entire battlefield and threatened all the Persian soldiers on the battlefield.
"Boom boom" where the Persian Empire soldiers are dense, artillery bombards wherever it is.
Under the heavy artillery fire of the city of Murkalla, the soldiers of the Persian Empire could not gather together on a large scale, so they could only fight on their own, allowing the Manchurian iron cavalry to charge and kill among them.
The soldiers of the Persian Empire withstood the offensive and did not collapse because Kgreid was not killed, but they could not gather effectively, so they could not form various military formations, and they could not rely on the military formations to resist the wanton rush of Dorgon and other iron cavalry, and had to fall steadily to the downside.
Two thousand meters away, after this moment, Kegrid finally relieved his breath, the fierce artillery fire just now did not take his life, but he also suffered a lot of injuries, his head kept buzzing, now it is much better, and he can finally command the battle.
It's a pity that Kegreid's opportunity has been lost, and this is not the moment when the battle has not yet begun.
"I can't imagine that the enemy still has such fierce artillery fire, I can't imagine it!" Kegled looked sad and indignant, just now, the empire had already suffered heavy losses, coupled with the continuous fierce threat of Manchurian artillery fire, he had to be pessimistic.
"Send people to the battlefield immediately and tell the soldiers of the empire that the Manchus do not believe in Allah, they are trying to destroy the Persian faith in Allah, and the death of Elder Cash is proof that Allah needs His people to drive out the infidels to maintain the mosque and the majesty of Allah!" Kegrid said to the generals beside him.
Until now, he can only use the name of Allah to inspire the soldiers of the empire, otherwise once the empire loses the victory of this war, the empire will be over, and he must not let himself see that day coming.
Hearing Kgreid's words, all the generals of the Persian Empire next to you looked awkward.
"For Allah!" I don't know who first clenched his fists and shouted this sentence.
"For Allah's sake, drive out those who disrespect Allah!"
All the generals of the Persian Empire around Kegrid couldn't help but shout this sentence full of anger.
Allah is their faith, an existence that cannot be desecrated, and it is their responsibility as Allah people to maintain the dignity of their Allah.
Seeing the reaction of his subordinates, Kegrid was extremely pleased, in fact, as the marshal of the empire, he was in a high position, and like the old minister, he had long known that the mosque Elder Cash of Murkala City had died the night before the Manchus broke the city, and he was not killed by the Manchus in front of the statue of Allah, and he knew the purpose of the old minister's words.
Not believing in Allah is a hard wound of the Manchurians, and the people of the empire will never let those who do not believe in Allah rule them, so arousing the anger in the hearts of the imperial soldiers can improve the morale and combat strength of the soldiers, and the empire still has hope of winning this big war.
Kgreid's appeal was soon reached by the Persian soldiers who were fighting the Manchus on the battlefield.
"For the sake of Allah, let these people who are disrespectful to Allah pay the price, kill"
"For Allah's sake, kill"
The soldiers of the Persian Empire roared angrily, fearless of death, and the Manchus and the servants of the three khanates fought fiercely, because the anger in their hearts boosted their morale, the combat effectiveness of the soldiers of the Persian Empire also increased greatly, and once withstood the momentum of the rout, and the Manchus and the servants of the three khanates fought inextricably.
The battlefield is gradually entering a stalemate.
"Hateful!" Dolgon's face was extremely gloomy, seeing that the Persian army was about to collapse, and the Persians did not know what they were shouting again, but once again they were demoralized and resisted the momentum of the rout.
Although the balance of victory is still in their favor, it is not so easy to quickly defeat the Persian Empire's army, at least even if the final victory still belongs to them, but the Eight Banners will inevitably pay a lot of casualties.
Dolgon didn't feel how many of the servant armies of the other three khanates died, but the number of the Eight Banners was not large, and if more than half of the casualties won the war, it would be more than worth the loss.
Although Dorgon was angry, the matter was over, and even if the Eight Banners suffered more casualties, he could only continue to fight.
"Since the commander of the Persian Empire is not dead, fortunately, this king also has another trick to do, I don't believe that the commander of the Persian Empire can endure it!" Dolgon glanced in the direction of the cities of Murkara and sneered in his heart.
With more than twenty years of experience in the field, Dolgon certainly has more than one backhand in a major battle that could determine whether the Manchus will be able to gain a foothold in Murkara City in the future, and Murkala City is his other backhand.
"Immediately send an order to Zihar of Murkala City, and ask him to send five thousand iron horsemen out of the city from the city to join the battlefield!" In order to let the commander of the Persian Empire enter the pit as soon as possible, so as to speed up the victory of the great war and reduce his own casualties, Dorgon sent an order to Zihar in the city of Murkara.
Dolgon has two killer moves, one is 27 imitation field battle cannons, and the other is more than 1,300 dragon breaking army musket battalions armed with flintlock pistols. The reason why he transferred another 5,000 cavalry from the city of Murkara to participate in the battle was not only to remind the commander of the Persian Empire that the gates of Murkara could not be closed, but also to tell the commander of the Persian Empire that there were only another 5,000 cavalry left in the city of Murkara.
If there is no threat to the Persian army on the battlefield, it is the twenty-seven imitation field god cannons on the head of the city of Murkara, the cannon makes it impossible for the Persian Emperor ** team to assemble on a large scale, and can only let the iron cavalry charge, if there is no threat of artillery, the Persian Imperial army can reverse many disadvantages and regain the odds of winning thirty percent, so Dolgon expects that the commander of the Persian Empire will never let go of the opportunity to destroy the cannon, and will send a part of the elite army to try to attack the city of Murkara, when the time comes
"What happened?" Kegred looked at the situation on the battlefield and seemed to have changed a little, and immediately asked with a heavy face.
A Persian general ran back from the battlefield.
"Marshal, the enemy army rushed out of the city with five thousand cavalry to join the battlefield, and the soldiers were under even more pressure and were suppressed!" The general reported to Kgrid.
Kegrid was stunned, he knew that there were 10,000 enemy cavalry in Murkara City, not only the cavalry left behind, but also the fierce artillery fire that posed the greatest threat to the imperial army in Murkara City.
Speaking of the fierce artillery fire of the enemy, Kegrad thought of the sudden shelling of him at the beginning of the war, and if it were not for the blessing of Allah, he would have been killed directly under such heavy artillery fire.
Kegrad still can't figure out why the enemy army is obviously from a nomadic tribe, but it has such a powerful cannon, which is slightly more powerful than the Franc cannons purchased by the Ottoman Turkish Empire and the Franc Robot in the Imperial Capital, and the rate of fire is three times faster!
In any case, destroying the artillery planted by the enemy army on the head of the city of Murkala was the key to victory in the great battle, and Kegrid would not let it go.
Before the battle began, when the two armies confronted each other, he vaguely saw that the gate of Murkara City was broken and there were traces of being blown open, which showed that the enemy army had blown open the city gate with a large amount of gunpowder in order to capture Murkala City, and it has not been repaired so far.
The Empire cannot afford to lose victory in this war, so it must send a large army to find a way to attack the city of Murkara, destroy the enemy artillery, and even take control of the city gates!
As long as the enemy's artillery is destroyed and the gates of Murkala are controlled, the soldiers of the empire can slowly retreat into the city of Murkara and defend the city, even if they can't defeat the enemy army and recapture Murkara, the empire will be victorious!
I have to say that the history of the Persian Empire can survive for a few more decades, in addition to the old minister, there are also some reasons for this Marshal Kgreid, the two old guys have supported half of the Persian Empire with one article and one force.
"Where are our 10,000 cavalry and 3,000 heavily armored divisions now?" Kegrid asked.
"Back to the marshal, the cavalry and heavily armored men are engaged with the enemy's white-armored cavalry." A general immediately replied.
"How's it going?" Kfried asked again.
There is no doubt that he was prepared to use the Empire's best cavalry and heavily armored men to plot the city of Murkara.
"Back to the marshal, there are about six thousand cavalry left, and about one thousand heavily armored soldiers." When the general reported it, his face was a little unpleasant.
"There are so many casualties!" Kegreid's old face twitched and said, "It seems that the enemy's combat power is still underestimated by me!" If you can't find a way to destroy the enemy artillery in Murcara and take the opportunity to retake Murcara City, the Empire will lose this great battle! ”
In the face of cavalry, once the infantry is defeated, there is only one way out of the whole army, and Kegrad cannot but make a final struggle.
"Go, tell the commander of the cavalry, Hassan, and let him immediately take the imperial cavalry out of the battle with the enemy's white-armored iron cavalry, get as close as possible to the gates of Murkara City, and find an opportunity to storm Murkara City!" Kgridd ordered.
The cavalry and heavy armor soldiers are the most elite combat power of the Persian Empire, and the heavy armor soldiers have only a thousand people left, and the speed of movement is too slow to be considered, so the only ones who can undertake the task are the imperial cavalry, and only the imperial cavalry can quickly rush in through the city gate when they are close to Murkara.
"Yes, Marshal!" The Persian generals immediately went to give orders.
