Chapter 1186. Positional warfare

Another round of new sun rose from the east, and the red sun dispelled the long and cold dead night, making this hot land hot again, and also making people's eyes glow again.

Although this light is the beginning of the next bloody killing.

In front of the two armies, there was a big pit, even if they were wearing metal masks, the leaders of the Arab heavy generals could still read the anger that would erupt at any time from the eyes of their caliphs, and in the pit, hundreds of Arab soldiers jumped down and laboriously carried up the cavalry iron armor left by the Min people, and hoisted the wounded war horses, which was their only gain.

In exchange for this thing, the Arabs also paid more than 2,000 people, who were killed in the shelling last night, trampled to death, and the broken corpses of the soldiers who died of cannibalism in a panic are still displayed in the wasteland not far away, and the smell of blood and mess attracted a large number of hyenas, coyotes and vultures came to devour, but the Arabs themselves did not dare to collect the corpses, because on the edge of the Fujian army trench, the deep cannon muzzle was always pointed there.

As for Arabiar, the head of the six lions of the Arab Empire, no one saw him again.

In the voice of hey, the big box left by the Fujian army was pulled open by more than a dozen ropes, and the Arab soldiers stuffed the scimitar into the gap of the box, and pried it open, and a strong smell of smoke and bad breath came out suddenly, and dozens of leaders looked at it, and then everyone's face was difficult to see.

A box, all of which were cigarette butts smoked by the Fujian army, no less than tens of thousands, and I don't know how much thought it took the Fujian army to collect these, and yesterday I was thinking about extorting how many tobacco leaves from the Fujian people, but today I received this box of cigarette butts.

"The minister is guilty!"

As soon as his legs were weak, Aladur, who was in charge of the guard, fell directly into the sand, and on the other end, one of the six male lions, the big face like the Hashib cabbage gang was purple and red, and it was almost exactly the same as the hyenas that gnawed at the corpses outside.

"Don't let the Min people fall into the hands of Lao Tzu, otherwise Lao Tzu will skin them alive!"

The vicious voice made Hussein even more irritable, his eyes were sprayed with anger, and he opened his mouth Hussein to reprimand something, but at this moment, the large array of the Fujian army on the opposite side with faint cooking smoke, the rapid horn horn suddenly sounded to the sky, and at the gate of the camp, the heavy war drums made a clanging sound, which was the precursor of the attack of Damin.

"Let's go!" Simply shouted the order, Hussein walked straight back with a gloomy face, anyway, the iron armor was almost caught, and the other Arab generals also followed, but just after taking two steps, Hussein suddenly turned his head suddenly.

"Aladur, you're in charge of the first battle today!"

"The last general understands!" Knowing that Hussein was a chance to atone for his sins, Alladour knelt heavily on the ground.

…………

When the tide of Arabs generally retreated from the big pit last night, the Min army, which had breakfast, was also preparing for the first round of offensive.

There is such a big mistake, even if he is an old minister of the King of Fujian, it is impossible for the hussar general, after coming back yesterday, he was directly demoted to the third rank, from the second-rank hussar general to the fifth-rank ranger general, as well as the soldiers under his command, in addition to the injured are also filled into the forward battalion, and today they are in the first formation.

Around this, the ironclad cavalry and Yao Geluo who came back in the hundreds were still full of gratitude to Li Jie.

The drawbridge at the camp gate was put down with a bang, smashed on the sand and sprayed dust, walking in the front of the death squad carefully selected from hundreds of thousands of troops, and the moment before going out, Yao Geluo suddenly took off his helmet and threw it aside, and then under the surprised gaze of the sergeant, he took out a white cloth strip from his arms and wrapped it around his head, and then shouted and raised his arms.

"If you don't repay Your Majesty's kindness today, Lao Tzu will die in front of the battle and never look back!"

Yao Geluo's words were like droplets of water dripping into boiling oil, which immediately aroused the boiling of the death squads, and thousands of death squads, including other leading generals, also slammed their helmets on the ground fiercely, and roared angrily, and there was a cry everywhere in front of the entire battalion.

"Take revenge and shame, and never look back!"

On the stands on the second floor of the Mobile Palace, Lao Li Ji turned his head to Li Jie with satisfaction and bowed slightly and said, "Your Majesty, today's morale is good, there should be a start." ”

The smile on the corner of his mouth also showed that Li Jie was in a good mood, but he did not respond to Lao Li Ji's compliment, but nodded noncommittally and ordered: "Let's shoot!" ”

The barrels in front of the trench were adjusted upwards in turn, and then a series of roars rang out, and under the watchful eyes of the Arabs on the opposite side, more than 800 general cannons planted in the front camp of the army bloomed indiscriminately on the forty-mile-long front, and the heavy lead ball shells rolled down to the ground indiscriminately, smashing dust, and the power of the heavy artillery smashed the road in front of the two armies for more than two miles like an earthquake, making the Arabs on the opposite side tremble and watch this shocking scene in disbelief.

However, the continuous shelling lasted for several minutes, and the land within a radius of more than ten miles was smashed into pockmarked faces, but except for a few lead ball shells with a limited range of the longest range that hit the front of the Arab positions, the terrible artillery fire like the wrath of the gods actually caused no casualties.

Accompanying Hussein to watch the battle behind, he was frightened to pick up half of the imported ones during the Hou Jie regime, and the remaining monocular telescope watched for a long time, but Hashib let out a sigh of relief, and said contemptuously in a disdainful tone.

"The Min people are just like this, the thunder is heavy and the rain is small, so it is mysterious! Under the divine power of Allah, the demon law of the Min people is invalid! ”

Hashib's words caused a burst of laughter among the Arab generals, and a group of brave Arab bearded men were all relaxed, except for Hussein, who had the only complete binoculars, stared at the dusty sky with a grim face, and for a while, he turned his head gloomily.

"The Min people are using this kind of heavenly fire to find out if there are any traps dug by my Arab warriors, and Li Jieke, the king of Fujian, is not stupid at all!"

Listening to his caliph's unkind tone, the laughter of a group of generals immediately froze there, and in the middle of the night, the dust shrouded in front of the two armies was blown away by the diffuse subtropical wind, and sure enough, the Arabs dug quietly in front of the formation, and a dozen or so uneven pits were hideously exposed in the center of the military formation.

"The Min people are really rich, and they use so much metal to probe for traps." Hashib, who had laughed early, couldn't help but say stupidly, and Hussein's face turned gloomy again, and he held the binoculars, and he looked at the Fujian army's immobile military formation like a mountain with concern.

The Min people have so many war resources, how difficult it is to defeat the Great Min!

As everyone knows, Li Jie, who was looking at several big holes with binoculars in the opposing military formation, also shook his head worriedly, the Arabs are so cunning and brave, how difficult it is to defeat them!

sighed, Li Jie nodded helplessly: "Order all departments to attack!" ”

The war drums at the exits of the Chinese army beat loudly again, and following the war drums, a swarm of horseback infantry swarmed out of the camp like ants out of the nest, and quickly arranged a neat array according to the infantry formation, and a long black line pushed towards the military formation of the Arab army at a very fast speed.

Judging from the banner, the left and right leading guards and the left and right guards were the trump card troops of the Min people, and the Arab archers and ballista trebuchets hiding in the trenches on the opposite side immediately tensed their nerves.

Who knew that the tens of thousands of troops on a black line that rushed in stopped in front of a trap closest to the Fujian army's military formation, just outside the range of the Arab ballistas.

The range limit of the Roman ballista and torsion trebuchet is about 300 meters to 400 meters, which can not be reached when it is arranged in the array, and the counterweight trebuchet of the Arabs can be projected for thousands of meters, more than two miles away, which is similar to the cannon of the general of the Fujian army, but more than 200 counterweight trebuchets of the Arabs are arranged on the battlefield forty miles wide, so sparsely distributed, the lethality of the Fujian army is also quite limited.

Such a tangled distance made Aladur, who was in charge of commanding the front army, stumped, and his raised hand did not fall for a long time, but fortunately, the dense Fujian army cavalry infantry suddenly. A few openings were opened, and the second wave of the army charged up again.

This time the scene was even more bizarre, the death squad carried by Yao Geluo rushed out of more than 500 people on the wide surface of the battlefield for more than 20 miles, each carrying a large shield more than half a person high, and the whole body shrank behind the shield and charged forward desperately, and some people also pushed a small car, and the front was blocked by two large square shields.

What's even more unbearable is that these Fujian troops have no formation at all, sparse and sparse, and the distance between the two people is more than ten meters, not to mention what effect is the impact of such a few people on the military formation of more than 300,000 troops, just such a sparse array, when a person rushes to the trench to fight, he needs to face at least dozens of Arab soldiers, this kind of comparison is completely a death-seeking behavior.

Seeing this scene, Aladur was simply angry, and directly waved his hand to order his subordinates to put down their bows and arrows, pull out their scimitars, and roared fiercely: "Yesterday I let go of hundreds of Fujian dogs, and today they just sent ****, and they will wait for them to rush up and try to catch them alive, which will not make the old man of Min pay the ransom to cry, and we Arabs have been robbers for so many years!" ”

Listening to the shouts of his general, and then looking at the few people, in the trenches, the dense Arab infantry was also shouting with neat roars.

In the midst of the shouting, the 500 death squads that rushed to the front of the Arab trench 20 meters safe and sound with a big shield stopped again, and under Li Jie's gaze with a telescope full of smiles, a group of Arab soldiers gritted their teeth and waited in the trench, these death squads suddenly sat on the ground and stuck their shields in front of them with great hatred.

A moment later, the black clay pots were ejected by these death squads by some unknown means, flew out of twenty meters accurately, and smashed into the first trench of the Arabs, and when the ground was cleared, more than 500 flames boiled from the trench at once, and the unbelievable Arabs were burning with a raging fire one by one, and they rushed out of the trench with an extremely miserable howl, rolling all over the ground, and finally being burned into a charred corpse.

Seeing the hateful Fujian army death squad carrying the big shield like a turtle shell and running away, Aladur's eyes turned red in an instant, and he roared hysterically.

"Ballistas, bows and arrows, shoot these Min dogs!"

With his voice, the archers in several trenches suddenly showed their heads, and at the same time, in the roar, the heavy ballistas were also pushed out of the slope of the trench by the Arabs, and the stone projectile and arrow attacks like a downpour of rain fiercely covered the back of the Fujian army death squad who fled, and the sky was dark for a while......
