Chapter 896: Invincible in the Desert
In the middle of the desert, Chu Tian was holding his bleeding right arm, he had not been injured for a long time.
Now Chutian's status in the Han Empire is equivalent to that of an uncrowned king.
And this time in the battle of the desert, Chu Tian personally went into battle and was cut by the camel cavalry's Damascus knife.
Khalid, the first general of the Arab Empire, is in the desert, with the same strength, almost invincible, with a large number of terrain bonuses, as well as famous general bonuses, faith bonuses, and time of day bonuses.
In particular, taking advantage of the sandstorm to launch an offensive, the capabilities of the Han cavalry declined because of the sandstorm, and the troops were defeated by the camel cavalry of the Arab Empire.
In order to attract 100,000 Arab imperial troops, Chutian fought and left.
Since he had been winning, this time in the desert terrain, Chu Tian tasted defeat for the first time.
"You can't compete with the Arabs in the desert, you can't fight with the Muscovites in the cold winter......"
Chutian fled into the depths of the desert, and Joan of Arc was bandaging Chutian's wounds.
In the battle of the desert, the 20,000 Han light cavalry who were responsible for the broken war were divided into two parts by Khaled, the sword of Allah, with the help of the sandstorm, Chutian, Xiao Sui, Xue Rengui, Yang Dayan, Hua Mulan, and Joan of Arc were scattered, among which Chutian, Joan of Arc, and Yang Dayan became the soldiers and horses of the first road, and Hua Mulan, Xue Rengui, and Xiao Sui became the soldiers and horses of the other way.
This is a defeat that Chu Tian has rarely experienced in recent years.
"We have less than 3,000 soldiers and horses on this road."
Yang Dayan was counting the soldiers and horses, and because the Han cavalry after the 20,000 was broken and scattered after the rout, there were less than 3,000 cavalry left following Chu Tian.
In order to protect Chu Tian and retreat, Yang Dayan was slashed by the scimitar of the camel cavalry.
The lords of the Arab Empire equipped his camel cavalry corps with weapons such as Damascus knives to strengthen the lethality of the camel cavalry, and the camel cavalry came and went in the desert like the wind, not very affected by sandstorms.
"The Umayyads, the Arabian player, are said to have recently unified the tribes of the Arabian Peninsula and conquered the chieftains of the tribes, so it seems that the Arab Empire is truly invincible in the desert......"
Chu Tian could feel the pain coming from his right arm.
Before participating in the Fifth National War, Chu Tian specially asked people to collect information about the lords of various civilizations.
The overlords of various civilizations are trying to find ways to unify their empires or conquer nearby civilizations.
The Arabian Peninsula is united, the Arab Empire is on the rise, and no one can defeat the Arab Empire in the desert.
The conquest of the desert would only be possible unless much more troops were used than the Arab Empire.
Chutian could withdraw, or because Joan of Arc used the ability to make the legion frenzy at a critical moment, as well as the ability to boost morale, and once repelled Khaled's attack, and the Han army fled in two ways.
In any case, the defeat of the dead cavalry is considered a defeat.
"We delay time, Wu Qi and they should be relatively safe, as long as they capture a city, they can make a comeback."
Chu Tian didn't care about losing, at least his goal had been achieved.
In addition, in the battle between Desert and Khalid, the Han army won 10,000 victories.
"Use the Eagle to contact other generals."
Chutian, Hua Mulan, and Wu Qi's two armies were lost, and the Han army was divided into three roads, of which Chutian and Hua Mulan only had a few thousand remnants of light cavalry left, and Wu Qi's main force still existed.
As long as you keep the main force, you will have a chance to turn the tables.
Chutian's military exploits ranked first, and because of the battle of the desert, the Han army won another military exploit, and the gap between Chutian and the second place widened.
"The king of the Songhai Empire has been eliminated? Worthy of right and wrong. ”
Chu Tian found that the Songhai Empire had been eliminated.
This is the first big lord to be eliminated.
At this time, it was only what happened on the third day of the national war.
In the desert, the camel cavalry crisscrossed and pursued the position of Chu Tian's cavalry.
Chu Tian only left the light cavalry behind, and his mobility was strong, and it was not difficult to leave.
It's just that Chutian wants to buy time for the main army, so he manages to hold Khalid.
"Once you find the cavalry of the Han army, come back and report immediately!"
The expression of the Umayyad caliph of the Arab Empire is not very good-looking.
The battle did not yield very good results.
Because Chu Tian is the first lord in the main world, he defeated Chu Tian's army and gained more war exploits than expected, and now the Arab Empire has obtained 30,000 war exploits.
If Chutian's legion is completely annihilated, the military merits that can be obtained can be imagined.
"Discover the Han cavalry about 50 miles to the west!"
"Keep on the hunt!"
Once Umayya learned of Chutian's whereabouts, he persevered.
Chu Tian provides too many military merits, and if you kill a soldier of the Chutian Legion on average, you can get 3 points of military merit, and other lords may not have such treatment.
When Khalid learned of Chu Tianxin's location, he drew the march route of Chu Tian's cavalry on the sand with his sword, and fell into deep thought: "The Han army has a broader vision than us, and we are still led by the nose by the Han army......
Umayyad immediately understood: "You mean that the Han army had already divided its troops before the battle?" ”
"Exactly."
"You lead 20,000 camel cavalry to the west to pursue and kill this remnant, and I will lead the main force south."
The Umayyads could unify the Arab Empire and conquer the various chieftains in the desert, and their ability was not weak at all, and they immediately thought of the location and direction of Chutian's division of troops.
Khalid shook his head: "The cavalry of the Han army on this road is estimated to be less than 5,000 people, and only 5,000 camel cavalry are needed to make it suffer." "Fantastic
"Take 8000 camel cavalry."
The Umayyad had absolute confidence in Khalid, and no one could defeat Khalid in the desert without having a superiority in numbers.
Khalid's military general bonus, the fanatical nature of the Arab Empire, and the desert terrain bonus, the combination of the three is simply terrifying.
However, the Umayyads also allowed Khalid to maintain more troops at all times, because Chutian was the first lord and had recently defeated the king of kings in Persia.
If it weren't for the desert, Umayyads might not have a chance.
Khalid led 8000 camel cavalry and continued the pursuit.
And the Umayyad led the main forces of the Arab Empire and turned to the south.
When Chutian pinned down the armies of the Arab Empire, the main forces of Wu Qi and Xia Liang forcibly attacked the third city controlled by Darius I.
Darius controlled a total of three cities.
Darius's main forces retreated to the cities to the east, while the cities to the north were controlled by the Arab Empire, leaving the cities in the south.
"In one day, the city must be broken!"
It's already a bit crazy to be cool in the summer.
Chutian bought some time in the rear, but there was no shortage of capable people in the Arab Empire, and maybe he would soon understand the idea of the Han army.
"Princess Xia personally supervises the battle, and this city must be captured as soon as possible!"
Geng Yi, as a general of the siege system, immediately organized troops to storm the city.
Wei Wushu served as the main force of the siege and climbed the city wall at any cost!
Rumble! The Shenji Battalion used Hongyi artillery to bombard the city wall, and the last solid bullets were also consumed!
The main force of the Han army was cornered, and all of them fought bravely, capturing the city on the fourth day, killing nearly 10,000 Persian defenders.
The Han army immediately entered the city and entrenched it, while counting the population and weapons and recruiting soldiers.
"You can only recruit special classes ...... that you brought"
Summer Ryo found restrictions on recruiting soldiers in the barracks.
This city has a population of about 400,000, and about 80,000 qualified young and strong people, who can be transferred to high-level troops or low-level troops.
All kinds of weapons are complete, which can meet the weapons requirements of about 40,000 high-level troops.
"There's even a ninth-level firearms workshop!"
Xia Liang came to the stone monument of the city lord's mansion, saw the list of buildings in the city, and found a high-end firearms workshop.
This kind of building is not even Chutian, but it exists in the city of the national battlefield.
With the Advanced Firearms Workshop, you can resupply black powder and even produce a batch of solid and shotgun!
Summer Liang is worried about what to do after the shells of the Hongyi cannon are exhausted.
And the existence of high-class firearms workshops completely solves this problem.
"Although the production of solid bullets, shotguns, and black powder is slow, it can finally be resupplied. It's a pity that you can't bring the high-level firearms workshop back to the Overworld, otherwise it will ......"
It's a pity that it's cold in summer.
I saw a lot of good things in this national war.
"Try to find the location of the lord."
After the city was cool in the summer to defend, the war eagle of the Iron Eagle Scout went to find Chutian's location.
Even if it could be resurrected, it would be a pity if it was eliminated on the fourth day.
After the Han army finally had a stronghold, the Arab imperial army pursued them, and when the Umayyad saw the Han army's banner planted in the city, he had to choose to give up.
The Han army had cities to defend, and the Arab imperial army could not give full play to its advantages in desert warfare and stormed the cities, with a very low victory rate.
The Han army in the city can be divided into two or three groups, taking turns to rest and recuperate.
"After all, it's still a little bit worse. Khalid can be ordered to withdraw his troops, nothing needs to be too desperate, and we need to take a city as soon as possible. ”
The Umayyad's judgment was accurate, and the Han army was equipped with a large number of divine arms and bows, and it was extremely advantageous to defend the city.
Arrows can also be produced in the city.
The armies of the Arab Empire carried a limited number of bows and arrows.
"The Arabs retreated ......"
Liang Hongyu stood on the city wall and watched a large number of camel cavalry leave.
An important reason for the invincibility of the Arab Empire in the desert was that even their infantry were all camels, and they came and went in the desert like the wind.
"If you want to conquer the Arabian Peninsula in the future, you must fight the Arab Empire again, and when the time comes, you can only rely on the superiority of troops to sweep the desert ......"
Xia Liang watched the armies of the Arab Empire leave, and she had already decided in her heart that she wanted to wipe out the Arabian Peninsula in the main world.
The amount of human power is limited, and this time at the hands of the Arabs, it is difficult not to think about revenge.
The Overworld, crushed by the size of its population and troops, has the possibility of flattening the Arabian Peninsula.
The Umayyad withdrew, but the camel cavalry that had gone to contact Khalid was not so quick to get in touch with him.
Khalid led 8,000 camel cavalry and was still chasing down Chutian's East Asian cavalry of less than 3,000 men.
