Chapter 590
The real gore is not smelling blood, and the radius of more than ten miles is covered with all kinds of human body fragments. The fragments were covered in dirt and dust, and there was not a speck of blood in sight.
Even vultures, which have always had a keen sense of smell, and crazy wild wolves and foxes did not come to their senses. Savor this rare feast!
Yun Hao felt that he had stepped on something under his feet, and when he moved his feet, he found that he was not stepping on a stone. Rather, it is a human skull, with a half-amputated finger next to it.
The fingers are rough and there are calluses on them. At first glance, he looks like a person who works all year round!
Under the other foot, a thumb is stepped. It doesn't look like the one just now, and God knows who it is.
This time the bombardment, Yun Hao was a bloody one. One base number of ammunition is all gone, and it is impossible for any living creatures to survive on the surface within a radius of more than ten miles.
However, there were also many enemy troops who fled, and it was conservatively estimated that there must be 30,000 or 40,000 people. There is no way around it, and it takes a huge amount of land to spread out 100,000 people. Yun Hao's rocket launcher couldn't cover everyone inside, although Yun Hao really wanted to.
The airship is still chasing and killing the fleeing Great Food Army in the sky, and the moment before it was still majestic and ready to conquer them in Aleppo in one fell swoop. Now it fled like a dog with its tail between its legs, and from time to time an airship in the sky flew down a crossbow bolt with green smoke.
An explosion is often followed by several people wrapped in smoke. When the smoke cleared, both men and horses were lying in pools of blood. Even if they are not killed, it is not easy for them to survive without treatment.
As the sun set in the west, the airships returned to Aleppo one after another.
The desert at sunset is beautiful, and everything is draped in a red glow. It's like a curtain between heaven and earth!
But Yun Hao knew that on the Gobi under this red glow, the blood lost was also bright red!
Soon Yun Hao turned around and went back to the camp tent, for the general who was leading the troops outside, there was no need for such a boring mood. It is imperative to quickly refocus our attention for the battle that is coming.
Yusuf ran away, and the caliph came. More troops were brought, and more powerful equipment was introduced.
Looking back at Aleppo, which was in ruins, it was impossible for the city to continue to defend itself against the Caliphate's attacks. The once fortified city of Aleppo is now in ruins. There are no more fortifications to use!
What needs to be done now is to retreat quickly, if it is entangled here by the army of the caliphate. In that case, even if you want to retreat, you can't retreat. Now retreat to Antioch, maybe ten days, to strengthen the fortifications of Antioch. When fighting in the presence of gunpowder, fortifications can give the defender very good protection.
In particular, the reinforced concrete fortifications advocated by Yun Hao are slightly insufficient to deal with things like nitrocellulose. But against the explosive power of black powder, it is still more than easy.
Although the recipe of black powder is simple, the power is really not flattering. Nitrocellulose can blast steel apart, leaving more lethal fragments when it explodes. Black powder can only be made of ceramic or bronze, and the power of the explosion cannot be the same.
In Yunhao's view, this is a naked display of wealth, and copper is a scarce resource in Datang. It's so rich in this hellish place, especially in Afghanistan, where it's like lying on a copper mountain to live.
God always seems to like to joke with the Chinese nation, our people are industrious and kind, and keen to ask the land for everything they need.
Our food comes from the land, and our houses come from the land. It's as if everything in our lives is a source and a land. But after God gave us a hard-working and kind national character, he took away a lot of our resources.
Datang is not short of coal, but it lacks oil. As for high-grade iron ore, copper ore, gold and silver ore, the land of Datang is even more than enough to make ends meet.
It's as if we don't have much of what we need underground. At this point, God is too unfair to Datang, and if nothing else, let's talk about oil. This hellish place in the Middle East can't wait to dig up oil with a shovel, and there are very few places where Datang can find oil. There are places where it is simply impossible to mine at the current level of technology.
There is really no one at home, and development is really needed. It's too distressing to spend money to buy, and there is no way but to go out and rob with your arms crossed, so a hard-working and kind nation was forced to go to Liangshan by the short-sighted God and began its own road of robbery and development.
The most resistant to the retreat were the Arabs, who had too many of their brothers killed here. Almost all the corpses were under the walls, and ox carts pulled carts of corpses wrapped in white cloth toward Jerusalem. Yun Hao had promised them that they could be buried around the Holy City after they died. As long as they are not buried in the city, they will find a place on the edge of Jerusalem.
Yun Hao didn't speak, and neither did others. Everyone looked at the ox carts lined up for ten miles, but in fact some of the corpses were already decomposed. Corpse water oozed from the white linen, and maggots were crawling on many of the linen.
But no one wanted to dispose of the corpses of their comrades, and in fact the Arabs were warlike. From their attitude towards the corpses of their companions, you can see what kind of army they are.
There were not many Don troops in Aleppo, and the main force of the Don army is now in Antioch. That is the main battlefield where Yun Hao is ready to say a word to the caliph. The Arabs retreated to Damascus, if the caliph did not attack Antioch, but directly attacked Damascus. Yun Hao will not hesitate to cut off their retreat, the number of eight million Yun Hao does not believe.
But there are not eight million, there must be hundreds of thousands. An army of hundreds of thousands of people, if there is no supply, the consequences will be serious. It is not ordinary to find food in the Gobi Desert in the Middle East, and it is even more difficult to find enough food for hundreds of thousands of people.
How did the Qin army defeat the Zhao army back then? In fact, it's very simple, it's just a word hungry!
Hundreds of thousands of Zhao troops were besieged for dozens of days, cutting off all contact with the outside world. It is not so much the defeated as the starved.
If the caliph really ignored his flanks and insisted on going south. This is exactly what Yun Hao wants, maybe he has a chance to break Bai Qi's record. Become a model for a new generation of human slaughter!
Let the history of the Persians always remember their name.
Yun Hao was the last person to leave Aleppo, and the weather has been good lately. But Yun Hao still refused to take the airship, but followed the army in a carriage to retreat to Antioch.
Antioch is actually not far from Aleppo, about 200 miles away.
After Yun Hao became a big Antioch, he found that this had become the busiest construction site. Arthur was leading countless Israeli laborers to build various fortifications according to the requirements of the Don army. In the Battle of Aleppo, Yun Hao did not involve the Jews with vested interests because he wanted to keep them in Antioch.
During the more than half a month of resistance in Aleppo, the fortifications of Antioch had begun to take shape. All the fortifications were made of reinforced concrete, which was originally made of boulders, and the black powder had very limited ability to destroy the boulders. If you want to break through this city with five walls as high as five feet, the caliph can't do it without paying the price.
The biggest disadvantage of Antioch is that the terrain around Antioch is flat. The nearest mountains were tens of miles away, and this terrain made it impossible for Antioch to have outlying positions. It's easy to get besieged by the Great Cannibal Army!
Normally, any city that can be besieged will eventually be breached. Because those in the city are not supplied, but those outside the city are supplied. Even if you are hungry, you can starve the army in the city.
However, Antioch is desperate because one side of Antioch's wall is against the sea. This makes it easy for Antioch to get supplies from the port!
Cyprus across the strait has been taken by Cheng Chumo for some time to come. This will be a place for the Tang Army's logistics materials to be hoarded, and no one dares to dangle on the sea with the Datang in charge.
The Datang Navy was very brutal in destroying everything floating on the sea, sinking all merchant ships and fishing boats, and even sharks that exposed their dorsal fins were not spared.
The Datang Navy is a well-deserved maritime hegemon in the world in this era, no matter which country or force is the maritime army. Seeing the Datang Navy led by the Datang, there is only surrender. They don't even have a chance to hide in the harbor!
It is precisely because of such a powerful navy that the Tang army can crisscross tens of thousands of miles. Come to the Middle East and do it without worrying about your own logistics.
Niu Jianhu is now a giant beast of the sea, ready to devour everything he looks in the eyesore.
As long as the support from the sea continues, Yun Hao will be able to hold Antioch firmly. The two armies confronted each other, and it was likely that it was the caliph who was dragged down in the end, not Yun Hao, who was trapped in the lonely city.
Even more unfavorable to the caliphate was the warm climate of the Mediterranean, which nourished the city because it was by the sea. There are almost no conditions for the formation of sandstorms, as long as it is not windy and rainy weather. The airships of the Don army can take off with impunity, or attack the army of the caliphate. Or conduct tactical reconnaissance, anyway, the sky now belongs to Datang.
In the hands of the caliphate, there are terrific hot air balloons. Although the hot air balloon is a certain threat to the airship, it has no autonomous power after all. Can only float over the barracks. In other words, the protection range of the hot air balloon is concentrated around the caliphate camp at most.
Sheng Yanshi stood on the city wall and ordered the distance measuring stones to be placed one by one in front of the ruler.
The rangefinder stone is very important in urban offensive and defensive battles, where the enemy goes, and what kind of weapons are used to attack. It is all determined by the distance measuring stone, so this kind of work Sheng Yanshi will definitely not fake others. Completely hands-on!
Yun Hao lay comfortably on the warm balcony, enjoying the slightly salty sea breeze and the dates unique to the Middle East. Of course, the service of beautiful women is also essential.
There is something special about the beauties of the Middle East, they are just like the geographical location. Combines the best of the yellow race and the best of the white race!
First of all, it is a good figure, and it is a mess with convex and backward curls. In good conscience, yellow women are generally not as good as white women. Yun Hao rarely saw a Tang woman with huge peaks on her chest in Chang'an City. It's an orchid, all with big chests, thin waists, and round buttocks. According to the words of the Tang people, they all look like they are good at birth.
The second is that the skin is good, and I have to say that the skin of Caucasian women is really white. Especially the farther north the dimension, the woman's skin is almost transparent, and the cyan blood vessels below can be seen.
However, Caucasian women also have very developed hair, which is not bad from a distance. But when you look closely, my God! The hair on his body was so long, Yun Hao saw several Caucasian beauties who were older than him. If you go to the Nordic zone, the women there have a faint layer of fluff on their faces. A delicate beauty from afar, but up close, she looks like a hairy man.
At this point, yellow women are much better, and most of the yellow women's skin is delicate. The hairs weren't so severe, and some of the best ones had milky skin, as smooth and silky as satin to the touch.
In terms of the feel of the skin, a yellow woman can beat a white woman.
Of course, the most delicate skin is the black woman. From an aesthetic point of view, it is difficult for black women to be accepted by the Tang Dynasty. However, their skin is delicate, and there is basically no coarse hair.
Women in the Middle East are incredible, and the Middle East is located at the intersection of three continents: Europe, Asia and Africa. It doesn't matter if it's an Arab, or a Persian, or a Jew, or whatever. In fact, their bloodlines have been messed up, which is vividly reflected in women, especially the two women around them.
The chest is large, the waist is thin, and the buttocks are round. What's even more commendable is that the skin is delicate and fair. The high bridge of the nose and the deep-set eye sockets are very characteristic of Europeans. But the relatively broad and flat forehead, as well as slightly flat cheekbones, and the pointed chin are more in line with the characteristics of the yellow race.
It can be said that these two beauties combine the advantages of three kinds of women in Europe, Asia and Africa. Wherever it is placed, it is the existence of a stunner, Yun Hao's hand wanders around the beauty, as if it is stroking on the satin, and the feel is simply amazing.
It is very important to have a group of subordinates who know the taste, and Yun Hao has always been in a bad mood lately. The direct consequence is that Master Sheng Yan and they are extremely worried about the physical and mental health of Lord Chu Guogong!
After many discussions, the two of them went through political trials, auditions, preliminary examinations, interviews, and defeated countless competitors all the way to Yun Hao's side. Obtained the qualification to serve the supreme commander of the Tang Dynasty.
Everyone knows that Datang's army can crisscross thousands of miles. It's all because of this in front of me, and it's like a lump of mud all day long. A guy who can sit and never stand, and can lie down and never sit.
This person is the soul of the Tang Army, if something happens to him. The fate and future of the Western Expeditionary Army will become confusing.
