Chapter 1201. Calamity, wrath of the Lord

It was really like a water collapse, in the telescope of the upper echelons of the Fujian army, the sparse cavalry rushed to the desert all over the mountains, weapons and armor, banners were thrown on the ground indiscriminately, and even a few soldiers could be seen fighting for a horse.

In the distance, a long dragon fled southward in a hurry, and the dusty yellow dragon, which usually represents the majesty of the Arab army, was also like a leper dog that had fallen into the water, lazily stomping under the horse's hooves.

The staggered tents, the stunned ironclad cavalry with swords and catapults in their hands, and the stunned Fujian infantry who were surrounded behind the wall of fire, the entire battlefield was like another pantomime, and finally summed up in Li Jie's pupils.

"We won?"

For a long time, Li Jidu, who had been on the battlefield for a long time, was a little uncertain, and replied hesitantly: "It looks like we won, Your Majesty."

A few minutes later, a huge noise filled the battlefield, and we won!

"Long live Da Min! Long live Your Majesty! ”

The suspicious Li Jie personally went to the front line to inspect it, and under the command of the forbidden army, he crossed the hot trench that was still burning and arrived at the position of the Arab army that he had dreamed of for many days.

Although it was the goal that the Min army had been fighting for for more than a month, the harvest was really not good, except for the messy discarded flags of various departments, which could be regarded as a good show-off, the food of the Arabs was either blistered and moldy, or it was already tattered, and the camels that had been cut off in half exuded a strong stench, and as for the bags of stinky cheese and the dry meat as hard as a stone, the soldiers of the Fujian army were not interested in it.

The vanguard army gathered in the dilapidated camp in search of some valuable trophies, and the more soldiers were not so suspicious, and some were just cheering around the king, who had gone through a painful and cruel war, and defeated the enemy under the leadership of the king of Damin, was not it worth cheering?

Fortunately, there were still hundreds of wounded soldiers, as well as Arab sergeants who were injured by their own men during the struggle for war horse mounts to escape, but they were still captured by the Min army. After entering Hussein's tent, which had been turned over and in disarray, Li Jie walked out quickly with a strange face, and reached out to grab an Arab captive who looked like an officer.

"Why did Hussein suddenly retreat? Say! ”

Listening to the interpreter's vicious tone, at first, the wrinkled Arab captain in his forties stiffly threw his head aside, but after Zanpo reached out and plunged the dagger into his injured leg and stirred it around, the guy wailed again.

"Last night the Great Chieftain and the imams gave an account that today Allah's wrath will come upon him and send all the wicked who do not believe in God to Hell and this morning the officers of the battalions will come and tell them not to go too far from Math, because if they do not have time to leave before the Lord's punishment comes, they will be destroyed by God's punishment!"

As he spoke, the lower-ranking Arab officer still showed a strong fear on his face, obviously afraid of Hussein's divine punishment to the core.

Looking at this guy holding his broken leg and sifting chaff like a shivering appearance, dozens of generals in the upper echelons of Da Min scoffed at this, they fought from Ba Min along the way, and encountered all kinds of gods, all kinds of gods punished too much, if it was really effective, Li Jie would have died ten times eight times, where is there still the majestic Da Min now.

Hussein's hand is completely self-destructive, no wonder today's war is so strange, the Arab army that has always been fearless of death has become a death-fearing tofu army in an instant, however, what is Hussein's purpose in doing this? What good will it do him to break the morale of his own army?

"Where did Hussein order you to flee?" Li Jie was full of doubts and continued to ask urgently.

"Thirty miles away, Nursery Trunk Grand Canyon!"

The banks of the Yarmouk River are already the last abundant places in the Middle East, and further south, you will enter the most barren wilderness of Najd, where you can not feed 300,000 horses and horses, and even a few small tribes can't survive.

The Fujian army reconnaissance cavalry of the Tuoergan Grand Canyon also went to patrol, and there was not a drop of water there, with the drying up of the ancient river in West Asia, all life was extinguished, except for the white bones of the ancient beasts were two huge river banks and mountain bags, and there were once Arab merchants who took refuge and rest there, so it was recorded in detail on the military map of the Great Min.

"Your Majesty, the last general asks to continue the pursuit!"

Although the Arab army collapsed this time, the Fujian army was really no result, the infantry just went to see the fireworks, and the ironclad cavalry hesitated for a long time against a paper tiger, and now they got the specific whereabouts of the Arabs, many generals were moved, and a large group of powerful people knelt on the ground.

Even Li Rang, who recovered a little today, is among them, he is the eldest son of the King of Min, if he wants to continue to go down politically, whether on the battlefield or in the political arena, he must be active and express enough toughness, which will attract people to follow.

The formation was scattered, the soldiers did not know the generals, and the lack of drinking water and supplies, such an Arab army was simply a godsend, and even Li Rang was sure to defeat his more than 200,000 Arab troops with 10,000 Hezhong cavalry.

However, Li Jie, who was still hesitant, hesitated for a long time, but did not agree to Li Rang's request, but nodded to the Armenian prince Labshg and the Eastern Roman cavalry commander Quintus.

"Lao Fuqing and others led the headquarters to pursue!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" The two foreign generals simply knelt down in ecstasy.

…………

More than 20,000 Armenian light cavalry and more than 3,000 Eastern Roman cavalry hurried hooves kicked up a large cloud of dust on the road, and seeing their distant backs, most of the Fujian soldiers who were still working in the Arab camp were bastards, full of jealousy, spitting or muttering good luck.

The Arab army is not so poor, after many years of raiding the major empires of West Asia, the knights from Mecca still have a lot of gold and silver, but they have been prepared as early as last night, and most of the property has been taken away by the fleeing cavalry, and there is not much left in the camp.

When soldiers eat pay to fight, not only the salary and silver, but also a windfall in the war, today's Arab army is simply a frightened bird, and it is the kind of gold with golden feathers, a dozen will fall a piece of gold, seeing that these big battles are almost not too hands-on, but in the end they end up picking up cheap meritorious services and receiving the same income, and then look at the blood and flesh shed for the war, carrying their heads to fight, and finally have to build permanent fortifications against the sweltering sun and eat sand, it is no wonder that even the descendants of the Sixteen Guards are quite uneven.

Fortunately, seeing that this kind of unstable military spirit Li Jie, Li Ji, Wang Fangyi and others hurriedly sent officials from the military department to count the military merits on the spot, and more than a month of war, the meritorious soldiers, Li Jie also personally met with them, heavy real money and silver, shining Danshu iron coupon title proof, seeing more than a dozen new marquises, more than 100 county uncles, seven or eight hundred counties and county men proudly hanging the newly issued identity fish charms, the military heart is still stable.

It was about one o'clock in the afternoon, more than two hours after the Arab army had retreated.

The army's heart is almost calm, the infantry in groups returned to the barracks, or patrolling the camp, or calculating how much merit they can earn when they go back, how much money and land they can get in exchange, whether they can buy a few more slaves when they go back, and they can live the life of a landlord, and more practically, they are looking forward to tonight's celebration dinner.

Behind the Arab barracks, under the dreary sun, thousands of people were bare-chested digging the soil, which could be regarded as the front line against the desert nomads in the future, and the Great Min decided to build a town-level earthen fortress here to defend it permanently.

Strange to say, the sun was visibly darker behind the dreary clouds, but the weather was maddeningly hot, and both the sappers and the soldiers hiding in their tents stuck out their tongues.

In such a sultry heat, the flocks of infantry simply took leave to soak in the cool bath in the Yamouk River, and all who could go were meritorious troops, listening to the sound of the young men playing in the water, and the jealous eyes of the patrolling sergeants were about to pop up.

In Li Jie's mobile palace, the atmosphere of the imperial meeting was still tense.

The war is a continuation of politics, the war is over, politics has just begun, the Arabs in Mecca are defeated, but if they do not take this opportunity to extend the political tentacles of the Great Min to Mecca, one day, these tenacious and cruel people will still make a comeback.

It's just that in the next war, diplomats will rush to the front instead of soldiers.

A large group of Eastern bureaucrats and Western aristocrats were enthusiastically arguing about the relationship between the Great Min and the Arab Empire, and the greedy aristocrats were still shouting about how much oil and water they wanted to squeeze out of Mecca, but in the feast of sharing the spoils after the war, Li Jie sat on the dragon chair sullenly and just watched without saying a word, his eyes wandering out of the window.

I don't know why, instead of the joy of a big victory, Li Jie's heart is haunted by an unease, and he doesn't know if the weather or what the reason is, and the few jade seal fragments in his pocket are also hot.

Just when Li Jie was in a hurry, outside the window, a sweaty cavalry figure suddenly hung a red flag from far and near, and suddenly broke into Li Jie's eyes, looking at him, Li Jie's heart suddenly chuckled.

In less than half a minute, the impatient knight had already burst in, and fell to the ground in the face of the stunned gaze of all the ministers, hissing with thirst and shouting loudly with trembling.

"Your Majesty! Ladies and gentlemen, it's not a good thing! , South, South......"

I couldn't think of a word to describe it for a while, and after holding it for a while, the messenger knight found a suitable word to replace it in fear.

"Disaster is coming!"

Standing on the platform again, looking out from afar, Li Jie's pupils, an incomparably huge yellow giant beast roared and pounced on the unprepared Da Min with teeth and claws.

"Sandstorm?" Li Ji muttered and shook his head in disbelief............
