Chapter 1196. Thorns in the dorsal rays
Forty miles long battle array, more than 300,000 warrior waves rushed together, shields collided with shields, spears pierced in the gaps, horizontal knives and scimitars, axes, and maces hit the shields and beat non-stop, one after another clanging sounds, each warrior was desperate to tie up each other's every bit of gap and slash each other, and the shouts shook the entire sky.
There were still warm bodies pouring on both sides of the backlog of shield walls, and new bodies were constantly replenished, and the viscous blood and red ink expanded outward on the edge of this fierce battle array, staining the soft trampling, wet swamp red.
Hussein is not a stupid person, after the defenders of the second trench were divided and eliminated by the Min army, Hussein had already reacted, and he was really a ruthless man, and immediately mobilized all the reserves that could be mobilized, even the men and slaves who herded the horses were pushed into battle.
In the muddy swamp, there was no formation, the bowstrings were softened by the blisters, the initial battle, in the mud the two armies only had a messy battle in the east and a mess in the west, as they advanced step by step, more and more troops converged on this front, and finally fought into this cruel flesh and blood grinding plate.
For this situation, the commanders of both sides were unexpected, once either side collapsed first, the momentary damage suffered would be unbearable, such a chaotic battle that is rare in a thousand years, whether it is Li Jie or Hussein, has reached the point where it is difficult to finish speaking, and they have to grit their teeth and continue to fill it with fresh flesh and blood.
At about noon, the decisive broke and washed the south bank of the Yarmouk River, and the bloody battle continued from that time to sunset, in the noisy shouts and war roars, after all, no one overwhelmed anyone on this big front, the slippery corpse was more than half a meter high, blocking the fight from going on, and the tired soldiers of the two armies were also physically and mentally exhausted and had no heart to fight, except for the commanders of the two armies who were still angry with each other, and the large teams slowly retreated.
Finally, as the Shen period was about to end, and the fiery red sun was half down, the two armies completely ended contact and dispersed into two battalions again.
On the edge, the ironclad cavalry and the Bedouin elite cavalry, who had been facing each other nervously for a day, and the super-long spear phalanx finally retreated back in each other's vigilance, looking at the figure of the ironclad cavalry leading the war horse back to the camp in frustration, Li Jie, who had been in pain all afternoon, couldn't help but slam his fist on the railing with hatred.
The rear army of the Chinese army and some of the dismounted iron cavalry, a total of 300,000 troops, continued to pour into the Arab positions in three waves, and even such an important force as his own assault army group did not hesitate to pit with the enemy, just to take Hussein.
The Fujian army can not be said to be brave, no less than 16 generals of the fifth rank were killed that day, and Su Dingfang, the general of the right leading army of the second rank, lost one of his arms, and the shells were sent forward without money, and two-thirds of the inventory was exhausted in one afternoon, but the Arabs were so tenacious and terrible, even so they did not defeat them, Li Jie's chagrin is self-evident.
Even if there is another mansion and the cavalry of 500 people detours behind the Arab army, Li Jie can have the confidence to have dinner in Hussein's tent tonight, but unfortunately, he really can't draw out a single extra soldier.
Seeing the Fujian army slowly retreating in the afterglow, Li Jie also had to give an order helplessly: "Quickly organize sappers to clean up the battlefield, the household officials immediately allocate grain and grass, as well as beef and mutton meat, and the red gourd team must also keep up, and must not leave a single wounded person behind." ”
Almost all of the wounded who had been left behind had been killed by the Arabs, and the officials of the Ministry of Works and the Ministry of Household knew how powerful they were, so they knelt on the ground and saluted, and then dispersed in a hurry.
With the departure of these officials, there is not much left of a large group of civil and military officers who originally surrounded Li Jie, and most of the generals have gone down to command the battle, as the battle becomes more and more intense, the civilian officials also have all kinds of things to be busy, and there are only a few forbidden troops left with their hands at the entrance, and the leader of the guards, Zanpo, is squatting on the ground, completing what task Li Jie has explained.
"Thou, prepare your subordinates to continue to attack the Arab military camp tonight, but it is not the previous attack, even if it can't be defeated, the widow will make the Arabs tremble and stay awake all night!"
Some gamblers who lost their bets, Li Jie's expression was already a little crazy at this time, and his voice was hoarse. He couldn't even hear a cordial salutation, and Li Rang also knew what the situation of his eldest father was anxious, so he hurriedly bowed and saluted, and led the kite to hurry down to prepare.
But just two steps. Li Rang turned his head in surprise again, and the kite, who was stunned for a moment, immediately walked back angrily and reprimanded unceremoniously.
"Why don't you leave? Have you forgotten the rules of how the Arabs trained slaves? Don't forget that now you are a slave of His Highness the King! Don't be ignorant of the rules! ”
The kite was once taken into slavery by the Arabs, and she had an unspeakable hatred for the daughter of the Arab caliphate, but under the gaze of those fiery eyes, Selim Drow still looked at the battlefield that shimmered under the slanting light of the huge sunset.
In the dim sunlight, the battlefield that had been fully soaked by the water of the Yarmouk River showed a dripping pink glow, making it impossible to distinguish whether it was the sun or the blood.
Bang~
When it was busy, there was a roar in the rear army, it seemed that the carriage pulling the cannonball exploded for some reason, Li Jie, who was already upset, couldn't help but turn around and curse, and the scolding kite and Li Rang couldn't help but turn their heads sideways, but before the camp could deal with it, the second explosion sounded again.
This time it was closer, next to a tent not far from the Mobile Palace, and the explosion overturned the tent, and the nearby patrolling guards were blasted out by the shock wave.
"It's not an accident, it's an attack, protect Your Majesty!"
Immediately dropped the work in his hand, Zanpo rushed to the staircase of the mobile palace Dianjiangtai like a yak, almost with his roar, more than a dozen foreigners wearing the uniforms of the Min army also took off their armor at the same time, revealing a strange black long gauze robe, and rushed to the Dianjiangtai with a shout.
The guards immediately put down their spears to form a human wall, but these assassins did have some evil doors, their wide sleeves were raised, and in an instant, dozens of hidden arrows roared out, shooting out a gap in the spear array, and more than a dozen ghosts floated into Li Jie's Praetorian Guards, one move and one style were weird and terrifying, everyone seemed to have no weight, and they dodged the guards with various incredible movements to slash and kill, and occasionally fought back but almost aggressively.
One of the guards retreated only half a second late, and was swept away by a black sleeve, and a deep blood mark appeared on his throat in a trance, and the young janissary fell limp.
"Is this a human or a ghost?"
Even Zanpo, who was not afraid of heaven and earth, couldn't help but shake her head in shock when she saw this scene, and Li Jie couldn't take his eyes off it, but there seemed to be an angry and smiling expression on his face.
"What do you do?"
When everyone's attention was attracted to the audience, the woman's exclamation attracted everyone's eyes back, and as soon as he turned around, Li Rang's pupils opened to the extreme in an instant, and his heartbeat almost stopped in an instant, and his eyes were full of the hazy smile under the veil of Sailim Zhuoer, as well as the knife that was extremely close to his heart.
Puff~
A dagger almost followed, but the moment before it was loaded, a soft body knocked Li Rang back half a step, spurting out a mouthful of blood, and the kite still screamed with great hatred: "Protect the king of the river!" ”
Several guards were stunned and drew their swords and raised their shields, and ran towards Li Rang, who knew that Sailim Zhuoer's move was actually a false move, let go of the dagger inserted into the kite's body, slapped a palm on her chest, turned over with strength, and a second dagger appeared in his right hand, stabbing Li Jie as fiercely as a harrier.
In the rolling red sun, the graceful skirt flutters with the dance, and the silhouette of the beauty reflected in the sunset is as beautiful as the flying immortals outside the sky, but looking at the forbidden army, generals, and officials on and off the stage, a cold breath rushes from the spine to the back of the head.
This crazy woman, she, she's going to assassinate the King of Min!
It seemed that he had just come back to his senses and turned around, looking at the air, Li Jie's pupils also flashed a blade that was just enough to lead Li Rang to despair, and even this second dagger was obviously simmered with poison, faintly glowing with a layer of blue light.
Between the lightning and flint, the beauty stretched her ape arms lightly, and the beautiful dance fell sharply with a fatal blow.
