Chapter 403: The Great Emperor Has Fallen! (below)
"Ding! The city defense of the main city in the west has been officially refreshed, and all city walls, stone tablets, arrow towers, city gates, breastop walls, and moats will be reset, and the corpses within a radius of 100 miles of the battlefield will be emptied. ”
The system's announcements echoed over the battlefield!
This can be regarded as a kind of protection mechanism of the system for the civilization that has captured the main city!
Twenty-four hours after destroying the stone monument in the main city, the main city will be reset, and even the mountains of corpses piled up outside the city will be emptied!
Without corpses, the enemy forces outside the city would have to pay hundreds of thousands more casualties if they wanted to use the corpses to climb the city. There is no civilization that can afford that level of casualties. Neither did the Mughal Empire, which was the largest.
The Han army had already known in advance that the city defenses would be reset, however, the other four empires were completely unaware!
The thirty-four princes of the Mughal Empire, Suleiman the Magnificent of the Ottoman Empire, Ardashir of the Persian Empire, and the desert lords of the Arab Empire were all dumbfounded when they heard the notification of the system.
The main city will be reset!
"No!"
Suleiman the Magnificent sat on his throne and looked desperately at the majestic main city, only to see that the broken walls of the main city were rapidly recovering with a speed visible to the naked eye.
The original potholed city walls have been restored, wooden and stone arrow towers are lined up, towering towers overlook the whole city, and heavy city gates have been repaired, replacing temporary piles of stones!
The defense of the entire main city has been increased by more than one notch!
The crossbowmen of the Han army seemed to have been prepared, and immediately climbed to the arrow tower, relying on the protection of the arrow tower, condescendingly, and fiercely shot the enemy troops besieging the city!
The corpses piled up on the battlefield were all emptied, and the siege troops could no longer step on the corpses to climb the city walls, and the difficulty of the siege increased dramatically!
Thirty-four Mughal princes, more than half, sat on the ground with their butts on their butts.
The fortifications that they had spent two or three hundred thousand troops to dismantle were all restored in an instant, but they no longer dared to expend two or three hundred thousand troops to dismantle the fortifications.
If the fight continues, the million-strong army of the Mughal Empire will be completely wiped out!
Ardashir of the Persian Empire opened his mouth and stopped talking, when the situation in front of him suddenly changed beyond his expectations. Except for Chutian, who would have known that the city fortifications would be suddenly repaired.
For the 1.3 million siege troops, such a change was undoubtedly fatal.
The troops still attacking the city walls were heavily defeated and returned with a sudden defeat.
The four great empires immediately sent out cavalry to liaise with each other and try to deal with the sudden situation.
They are more concerned about whether they will continue to fight, and if they are going to fight, how they should fight.
"We have 1.3 million people, and the Han army may be less than 500,000, as long as we build enough siege equipment, we can take this main city."
It was the disgraced Suleiman the Magnificent who advocated the continuation of the siege.
Compared to the player lord, Suleiman, as the Sultan of the Ottoman Empire, is not embarrassed.
"No kidding, you haven't attacked the main city. It took nearly 300,000 people in our Mughal Empire to demolish this main city. Now that the main city has been fully defended, and the number of defenders has increased several times, are we going to consume 500,000 people? The average rank of the Han army may not be as high as the original defenders, but the number of Han troops is more! ”
The princes of the Mughal Empire mocked the Ottoman Emperor, and only the princes of the Mughal Empire, who had actually experienced the fierce siege of the main city, could experience the tragedy of that time.
They were not afraid of the Ottoman Empire, which was separated from the Mughal Empire by the Persian Empire and the Central Asian states, so they could speak hard!
The Persian and Arab empires were on the sidelines, and the attitude of the Ottoman and Mughal empires was important. Persia and Arabia alone could not gnaw on the fortified main city.
"A couple of empires seem to be starting to eat dog."
After Chu Tian found that the siege troops had retreated like a tide, he temporarily stopped the offensive, and the cavalry passed messages back and forth between the four great empires, which seemed to be deliberating whether to continue the assault or retreat.
"That's not enough, they may come back and have to destroy another empire in order to completely change the balance of forces and force them to retreat."
Chu Tian looked at the air intently.
He was waiting for a signal that Catherine's cavalry was in place.
It is possible that Ekaterina will follow his instructions or that his pigeons will be released.
Soon, a black war eagle appeared over the Ottoman camp.
"The Cossack cavalry has arrived, it's time to go out of the city and destroy an empire!"
"Mu Ke, this wall is handed over to you to defend. Hoan, let's go! ”
Chu Tian took Huo An with him, intending to assault the Ottoman Empire with the forces of two princes!
Although the Han Empire and the Ottoman Empire had no grievances before, the Ottoman Empire exacerbated the plight of the Han army in this national war, and Liang Zi had already been settled.
The rest of the princes were to guard against the other three empires.
Chutian thinks that his alliance with Huo An and Catherine is enough to defeat the Ottoman Empire!
Chutian drove a group of Goryeo cavalry as the vanguard and acted as cannon fodder!
Mu Ke, who was weak among the princes of the Eastern Han Dynasty, couldn't help but be surprised when she heard that Chutian was going to hand over the task of defending the city to her: "Can I?" ”
"Your vine armor army can defend the city. And after this battle, I guarantee that the Ottomans did not have enough troops to attack the main city! ”
Chu Tianxia City, a group of cavalry is ready!
The Goryeo cavalry served as cannon fodder!
The Tiger Army, the Tun Cavalry Battalion, the Xiliang Iron Cavalry, the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry, the Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry, the White Horse Yicong and other cavalry serve as the main force!
Yan Jia, Wei Wushu, Xiliu Battalion, Shooting Sound Battalion and other infantry then rushed to kill and respond to the cavalry!
Huo An also has many types of cavalry, as well as a large number of foreign cavalry, from the countries of the Western Regions.
In addition to cavalry, Huo An's Western Regions Protectorate also has infantry, including Li Siye's Modao team!
The Tang Dynasty fierce general Li Siye was bare-shouldered, majestic mountains and rivers, and the heavy infantry of the Mo knife team held expensive Mo knives. The sharp Mo knife, coupled with the huge strength of the soldiers of the Mo Dao team, is enough to cut off people and horses!
"This is the Modao blueprint I got from the last national war with the exchange of points, and the Modao team will fight in this battle to promote the martial arts of the Tang Dynasty!"
Huo An was in high spirits.
The Han army took the initiative to attack, and finally there was no need to be beaten in the main city!
"Wei Qing and Huo Qubing led the light cavalry to attack on both flanks, the heavy cavalry to assault in the front, and the infantry to respond in the rear! The other princes will take us, and we will destroy the Ottoman army! ”
At this time, Chu Tian could only choose to unconditionally believe that the other princes would try to contain the other three great empires, providing an opportunity to eliminate the Ottoman Empire. The four empires besieged the Han Empire, and all the princes made enemies against them, and it was impossible not to help Chutian.
The heavy cavalry was the first to rush out of the city gate, and the earth trembled!
Then there were the light cavalry troops of Wei Qing and Huo Quai, after a large number of light cavalry went out of the city, they formed the left and right wings of the large array, and the Han army adopted a mixed tactic of breaking through in the middle and attacking on both flanks!
The cavalry of the Han army suddenly went out of the city to counterattack, and the four empires were shocked!
The first to react was the attacked Ottoman Empire, and the Janissaries quickly formed a formation.
"Sipahi cavalry, Kurds, meet the enemy cavalry, our army is several times larger than the Han army, how arrogant the Han army is!"
Suleiman the Magnificent slapped the handrail and stood up, how crazy the actions of the Han army seemed to him!
Even if all the fortifications in the main city were reset, the Han army only occupied a defensive advantage, and attacked with less than 20,000 cavalry, which was simply beyond its strength!
The Janissaries were lined up in an impregnable line, and their longbows were aimed at the Han cavalry that was about to charge.
As the elite army of the Ottoman Empire, the Janissary Legion and the Han cavalry dare to charge head-on, which will only be a dead end!
The Sipahi cavalry, on which the Ottoman sultans relied on had been rapidly assembled. They were the elite cavalry of the Ottoman Turkish Empire, and the Sultan gave the order and assembled with unusual speed.
The Han army has less than 20,000 cavalry, and there may be 30,000 or 40,000 infantry and archers in the rear, but the Ottoman side has several times the number of Han troops, and there are high-level troops on both sides!
"Their conceit will send them to hell."
Suleiman the Magnificent thought that the Ottoman Empire was already very warlike, but he did not expect the Han Empire in the east to be more martial.
The expeditionary force of the Han Empire first defeated the million-strong army of the Mughal Empire, and a partial division fled back to the city under the pursuit of the Persian Empire and the Arab Empire, and carried the four empires, and now they dare to take the initiative!
"Your Majesty, there are a large number of cavalry in the rear!"
"The Cossack cavalry from the north suddenly returned and rushed for a hundred miles!"
When Suleiman the Magnificent was about to destroy the 50,000 Han troops in front of him, the reserve army he left behind was attacked by the high-morale Boye cavalry and Cossack cavalry!
Suleiman the Magnificent turned his head sharply to look at the rear, and hundreds of thousands of cavalry and infantry of the Grand Duchy of Moscow pressed a large area, rolled up sand and dust, and rolled in!
"Despicable Muscovites!"
Suleiman the Magnificent was put on a stand by Catherine, with a face like a pig's liver.
After the 50,000 Han troops left the city in formation, they began to attack, and the cavalry of the Grand Duchy of Moscow flanked the Ottoman Empire!
There are grievances and complaints, and there are revenge and revenge!
"Kill the Ottomans, all their possessions are yours!"
Catherine drew her sword and galloped with an army of 100,000 Cossack cavalry! The yellow sand blows, and row after row of cavalry is like waves, and there is no edge in sight!
In front of the regiment of the Grand Duchy of Moscow, a well-armored Polish hussar galloped, a dense line of cavalry spears pointed straight ahead, with a cross flag at the tip, and a hunting sound! Stirrups and long-necked spurs rise and fall with the galloping horses!
The unsuspected, or even slightly unsuspecting Ottoman army, was attacked by Polish hussars, and the sharp cavalry spears easily stabbed the enemy in front of them!
Draw your Polish scimitar and slash at all enemies you see along the way!
After the Polish hussars opened the way, the Cossack cavalry roared excitedly, using their great horsemanship to cross trenches and obstacles, and break through the Ottoman camp!
Cossack cavalry, one of the most cost-effective hussars of all civilizations!
Wave after wave of Cossack cavalry rushed in, and as the sworn enemies of the Ottoman Empire, they were unrelenting, even more ruthless than the Han army!
The sudden entry of the Grand Duchy of Moscow into the war led to the collapse of the Ottoman Empire.
The Janissary Army, which had been preparing to meet the Han army, saw that the rear was broken, and the army's morale was shaken.
Boom! Knock, knock!
On the wall of the main city, Liang Hongyu was dressed in a military uniform, beating drums in person, and the women were not allowed to shave their eyebrows!
The 50,000 Han troops who left the city were inspired by Liang Hongyu and their morale was restored!
"Defend honor with sword and blood!"
Joan of Arc waved the battle flag among the 50,000 Han troops, and the morale of the 50,000 Han troops rose again!
Li Xiuning and her women's army launched an encouraging effect at the same time, raising the morale of the Han army again!
The morale of the 50,000 Han army has been superimposed by the three heroes, and the fighting spirit is high! Blood reverberates in their chests, and if they don't fight the enemy as soon as possible, this fighting spirit will even burst their chests!
Chu Tian's eyes were bloodshot, he had already felt the madness of the Han army!
It seems that the morale is stacked too much!
"Kill!"
The 50,000 Han troops roared angrily, their blood was stirring, and they went forward to attack the Janissaries in front of them!
The heavy cavalry such as the Tiger Army, the Tun Cavalry Battalion, the Xiliang Iron Cavalry, and the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry formed a torrent of steel, breaking through head-on, and the light cavalry of Wei Qing and Huo Qubing formed two wings, flanking and attacking!
The Janissaries were in turmoil, and the archers fired thousands of arrows, but they lost enough power and accuracy. The Goryeo cavalry was used as cannon fodder to block the first round of arrows!
A rain of arrows collides with heavy iron armor and splashes everywhere!
Wei Qing and Huo Quai's light cavalry were faster, detouring to the sides and throwing a rain of arrows at the archers of the Janissary legion. The Janissaries were busy dealing with the ironclad cavalry in front, and the flanks were attacked by Wei Qing and Huo Quai, and they immediately fell into chaos.
The heavy cavalry advanced head-on, and the Janissary corps in the front row was defeated, and Xue Rengui, Zhao Yun, Tai Shici, Xue Wanche and other fierce generals personally served as the vanguard, and the spears easily pierced the shields of the Janissaries heavy infantry!
The torrent of steel crushed by, the Janissary army was defeated, and in the rear, the infantry of the Han army had been pressed, Li Siye's Mo Dao team shouted and charged, and the Mo Dao cut the oncoming enemy in two, and the death was tragic!
The Janissaries retreat in the face of the terrifying Modao team!
"Your Majesty, our army has been defeated, please retreat temporarily!"
"My Janissaries can continue to fight!"
"Please forgive me for being rude!"
The Praetorian Guard generals at Suleiman the Magnificent's side forced their stubborn sultan to retreat, and a squad of arquebusiers protected their majesty.
The Arquebusiers are considered one of the top classes in Lords, and even Suleiman the Magnificent only had one Arquebusier.
Just as the Ottoman Janissary generals were protecting their majesty from the battlefield, Huo Qubing caught a glimpse of the Sultan's banner and led the elite cavalry of the Western Regions Protectorate to kill!
"Protect Your Majesty!"
The Ottoman Empire's Praetorian Guard and Huo Quai's cavalry fought for a while, Huo Quai's characteristics, coupled with the characteristics of the cavalry of the Western Regions, were extremely lethal to foreign races, and they were cut into by Huo Quai's cavalry!
Huo Qubing himself has the strength of the three armies, and his cavalry assault is extremely strong!
"No!"
Dozens of Praetorian Guard generals exclaimed, and when they were pinned down by Huo Quai's cavalry, Huo Qubing killed two Ottoman Praetorian Guard generals and stabbed the Ottoman Sultan Suleiman I to death with a spear!
The Ottoman Janissary generals were full of anger and fear in their eyes, and their emperor was under their noses, and was assaulted by the cavalry of the Han army, and was taken away in waves!
"Kill him, Musketeers!"
The Praetorian Guard generals, frightened and frightened, became angry and ordered the arquebusiers to shoot at Huo Qubing and his cavalry!
The arquebusiers hurried to reload the gunpowder, while Huo Quai's cavalry drew their sabers and slashed the unprotected arquebusiers.
While the arquebusiers were more than capable of piercing armor to knock out any heavy cavalry, they were slaughtered without the protection of a phalanx under the sharp sabers!
