Chapter 893: The Arab Empire Strikes
"I didn't expect it to be the Han army win...... The Great Emperor of Persia sent all the undead troops into battle, but he was unable to defeat the Han army. However, the Han army lost about 20,000 men, and the rest of the corps, both in morale and physical strength, were at a low ebb, which was an opportunity for us. As long as the caliph comes...... It's time for us to leave......"
Abu, a general of the Arab Empire, led 500 camel cavalry and disappeared into the sand.
The wind rose again, filling the yellow sand, and nearly 100,000 Persian troops were killed here.
Hua Mulan supported her body with a Tang knife, and her physical strength dropped to the bottom.
"Darius still has a way out, could it be that he has retreated into other cities?"
Chu Tian didn't expect Darius to push to the east, not to the north, where the city was owned.
This shows that Darius had another city in the east.
Chu Tian further speculated that he probably judged that Darius I had a sense of territory, a legendary king, and at least two or more cities.
This is an important piece of information.
It is entirely possible to use the Legendary King's territorial awareness against other lords.
Because the legendary monarch has only one dynasty of Praetorian Guards, there is still a big gap compared to the top ten lords in the main world, but Chutian's army has gathered the elite troops of several dynasties, and it can win more with less.
But the army of the Legendary King is definitely not weak.
For the lords at the bottom of the main world rankings, they may be wiped out if they encounter a legendary king of the level of Darius I and his undead army.
Moreover, if you want to completely annihilate Darius's army, even Chu Tian will have to pay the price of tens of thousands of people.
Chu Tian took a look at his exploits in repelling the Persian army.
In this battle, about 80,000 Persian troops were killed, including the elite undead army, and 51,243 battle merits were gained.
Killing low-tier infantry and cavalry will give you an average of 0.5 merit, while killing Persian generals and undead troops will give you more merit.
The difficulty of this national war was not small, and he tried his best to defeat Darius I, and only 50,000 battles were feats.
Chu Tian looked at the leaderboard and saw that the other lords did not have many battle exploits, and he immediately balanced his mind.
1st place, Han Empire, Chutian, 51243.
2nd place, Roman Empire, Constantine, 30142.
3rd place, United States, Marshall, 25005.
Fourth place, Mongol Empire, Ogedei, 21001.
5th place, Kingdom of Sweden, Gustav, 18599.
6th place, Spain, Isabella, 14950.
……
Other lords also broke out into large and small wars one after another.
This is only the second day of the national war.
The various lords seem to have a more radical style because they can be resurrected, and they will fight at the slightest disagreement, and even the two armies will meet and attack each other.
There were also lords who were attacked by the Legendary Monarch and their Praetorian Guard.
At present, the great battle encountered by Chutian is the most tragic, and Darius I, the king of the kings of Persia, personally commanded the arrival of 200,000 troops, and did not give Chutian a chance to avoid at all.
Chu Tian killed 80,000 Persian troops, of which about 3,000 undead troops were killed, while Chu Tian killed 20,000 high-level troops on his side.
At the beginning, the trait of the King of Kings suppressed the morale of the Han army, and it was also the first trait that Chu Tian encountered that could suppress his own momentum.
The crisis has not been completely resolved.
The surviving 80,000 Han troops were not in good shape, and both morale and physical strength were relatively low.
On the battlefield of the national war, except for a few lords who are allies, the other lords, as well as all the legendary kings, are all enemies.
Because it can be resurrected, even the lords of small civilizations dare to offend the lords of large civilizations.
"Catherine's combat exploits are only 189 points, that is, she has not yet encountered a strong enemy. But how did these 189 points of combat merit come about? ”
According to the practice of previous national wars, Chu Tian could get some useful information according to the rankings.
……
In the north, Catherine personally led the Cossack cavalry to annihilate a small detachment of reconnaissance cavalry of the enemy.
"Is this standard of armor the cavalry of the Turks?"
Catherine dismounted, exhaled a cold air, and looked through the armor of this cavalry.
She bit her lip when she found out that it was the Turkic armor system.
Among the monsters born in East Asia, the Turks were extremely strong, influencing the history of Central and West Asia, and many civilizations were Turkic, even Turkish also belonged to the Turkic language family.
"There were a large number of Turkic cavalry in the empire of Ögedai...... But it could also be an army of NPC Turkic Khans. ”
After Catherine recognized the Oriental Turkic armor, she could not tell where the other party came from.
At one time, the Turkic Khan also gave birth to many legendary figures.
Had it not been for the powerful rise of the Tang Dynasty, the Turks might have turned into a mongol empire as formidable as the Mongol Empire.
The Khanates established by the Turks in the Western Regions, Central Asia, and West Asia were also innumerable.
"Your Majesty, another Scout Cavalry has been found in the south!"
"Another cavalry? Are they trying to trap us in this ice field? Break through to the south! ”
Catherine realized that danger was approaching.
This time the national war is full of killing opportunities, and the lords who are qualified to participate in the competition are not good at stubble, and the legendary monarchs of the national war battlefield also have quite strong combat power, and if they are besieged by several lords, they will almost certainly be defeated.
……
The Han army cleaned the battlefield, and Chutian found that no one had surrendered after the break of Darius I, and all of them were killed.
"This makes it even more difficult. The whole army rested and recuperated, and the siege will be carried out tomorrow. ”
Chu Tian considered that his army was not in a good state, and the night was coming, and if he stormed the city in a bad state, the state would be even worse.
No one knows if Darius I will suddenly kill the rifle.
These legendary kings should never be underestimated.
Especially the undead army of Darius I, who were like ghosts in the night.
"Wait......!"
When Chu Tian returned to the temporary camp to rest, Chu Tian suddenly noticed something and immediately summoned Mulan.
When the Han army was engaged with the Persian army, there were several hundred cavalry ambushes on the edge of the battlefield.
Chu Tian believed that this was the elite cavalry secretly arranged by Darius I, preparing to raid Chu Tian's main camp when the battle was fierce.
But until the defeat of Darius, these hundreds of cavalry never appeared.
If they were ordered by Darius to raid Chu Tian's main formation, then perhaps they should give it a go and try to turn the tide.
"On the periphery of the battlefield, have the cavalry squads in ambush disappeared?"
"It's gone."
"Where the hell did they come from?"
Chu Tian thought that there were two possibilities, one of which was that this cavalry saw that their king was not in a good position to fight, so they did not risk their death to attack the Han army's main formation.
Second, the cavalry squad that appeared on the outskirts of the battlefield and remained silent was not the elite cavalry of Darius I at all, but ......
"A squad of scout cavalry?"
Mulan was so focused on the decisive battle with Darius I that she didn't have time to find out the true identity of the cavalry squad that suddenly appeared on the outskirts of the battlefield.
On the Han side, the camel cavalry squad of the Arab Empire was regarded as the cavalry ambushed by Darius I, and Darius I actually noticed this camel cavalry and thought that it was the cavalry ambushed by the Han army.
Two big shots made a wrong judgment at the same time.
When the great battle with Darius I came to an end for the time being, the more Chu Tian thought about it, the more wrong it became.
If it is not the elite cavalry of Darius I, but the reconnaissance cavalry of other civilizations, this means that within a radius of a hundred miles, there may be a powerful legion, with a strength of no less than 100,000!
"Shift positions!"
Chutian immediately ordered the whole army to pull out the camp.
"Why did you defeat the Persian army and move immediately before clearing the battlefield?"
"Don't attack the cities of the north?"
Chu Tian's subordinates were puzzled when they learned of Chu Tian's decision.
The Han army won a big victory, and it was supposed to take advantage of the victory to pursue and capture a city less than twenty miles away in one fell swoop, however, Chu Tian's first reaction was fear.
"Withdraw your troops immediately!"
Wu Qi resolutely carried out Chu Tian's orders and urged the generals to lead their troops and horses to retreat to the south.
"I have a bad premonition, there are several lords of civilization, and in this case, I don't want to go to war with them......"
There are 80,000 soldiers and horses left in Chutian, and they are not in good condition, and it is estimated that it is enough to choke when they encounter the lords who are ranked in the front.
Although the defeat of Darius I's Persian army made Chu Tian's national war ranking come to the first place all of a sudden, but if he was not careful, the whole army was wiped out, so he was eliminated on the third day of the national war, which meant that he would be overtaken from behind, and the final ranking was not ideal.
"What happened?"
Xia Liang and Xiao Xuan came to ask why Chu Tian suddenly gave up attacking the city.
"In addition to Darius I, there may be a legion nearby. If we storm the city, and add the losses from the battle with Darius I, they will have a chance to take advantage of it. ”
Chu Tian's premonition was very strong.
"I ordered the wolves to investigate."
Xiao Sui is also aware of the seriousness of the problem.
The real crisis is not necessarily the threat posed by Darius I, but another Imperial legion that has been watching from the sidelines.
In the northern region, a hundred miles from the Han army, the army of 100,000 Arab empires was rapidly moving south.
Abu's camel cavalry met with the supreme ruler of the Arab Empire, the Caliph Umayyad, and reported to him about the battle between the Han and Persian armies.
"The Han army used a strange weapon to bombard the chariots of the Persian army? Most likely bronze artillery. Indeed, there is a legend that the first lord of the Han Empire, 'I just want to farm well', is the only known lord who has obtained artillery. ”
The Umayyads were players of the Arab Empire, so they were no strangers to bronze artillery, and naturally they were not afraid.
"Bronze artillery is not a panacea, and it will slow them down. Annihilate the Han army, and then capture the city for resupply. ”
Based on the descriptions of the camel cavalry, Umayyad judged that most of the morale and physical exertion of the Han army was an opportunity to annihilate the Han army.
Chu Tian is the first lord of the main world, and if he annihilates Chu Tian's legions, he can obtain more combat exploits than the legions of other lords.
Moreover, Darius I was temporarily disabled by the Han army, and after annihilating Chutian's army, he turned back to capture the city, recruited soldiers, and continued to fight.
The 100,000 Arab imperial army, under the command of the Umayyad, quickly moved south.
Beside Umayyad, a general's eyes were as deep as night.
The Arab Empire's archers and camel cavalry, haunted in the sand and dust, approaching the Han army.
Night fell again.
The army of the Arab Empire came to the battlefield where the Han army and the Persian army were fighting, and temporarily stopped to rest, according to the judgment of the Umayyad, the Han army carried a large number of grain wagons and Hongyi cannons, and the speed of the march was not fast.
In order not to give Chu Tian a chance to rest, the Umayyads carried dry food, used the carrying capacity of camels, and the mobility in the desert, and pursued them relentlessly.
"Khalid, what's wrong?"
Seeing that Khalid, the "Sword of Allah", the first general of the Arab Empire, seemed thoughtful, he inquired of him.
"Our whereabouts may have been discovered by the Han army."
Khalid spotted the wolves still wandering the battlefield and approaching the armies of the Arab Empire.
"How is that possible...... However, even if the Han army discovered our whereabouts, there was nothing to fear. They have just gone through a fierce battle, their physical strength is exhausted, it is impossible not to rest, as long as we catch up with them, there is no doubt about victory. This desert is God's favor for us. ”
Umayyad has the game in hand.
No legion dared to engage the legions of the Arab Empire in the desert.
