Chapter 31: The Blood Bear Black Ride
Samarkand, which means fertile land. This city on the shore of the Nami River is the capital of all the suzerains of the Zhaowu Nine Surname Countries.
The fertile land supports the 200,000 urban population of Samarkand. The wise and industrious Lits ran the city of Samarkand beautifully.
After the arrival of the Great Cannibals, the city of Samarkand was strengthened into a magnificent fortress. The city walls are tall and thick, and the walls are surrounded by clever use of the terrain through which the dense water passes through here, and a moat is excavated around the whole city, and the moat is quite fast, so that the enemies who dare to attack are afraid.
In the early morning of the same day that Li Huaitang launched a surprise attack on Mustafa, the coalition army led by the Turgish, with the help of the Lites of the Eastern Cao Kingdom, also captured the Eastern Cao Kingdom. At this point, the Great Food Army of Samarkand is facing the danger of being outflanked by two sides.
Although the war has not yet spread to Samarkand, Sulu Khan is leading the Great Coalition of Turgish and the Great Cannibals to confront the capital of the United States east of Samarkand, but the disadvantage of the Great Cannibals is already obvious, and the Scout Rangers of the Turgish have greatly infiltrated Samarkand. In the confrontation with each other, Sulu Khan sent the Dumo tribe from the eastern Cao kingdom to the south, along the Namishui valley all the way to the west, detouring to Samarkand, and it would not be long before the army would be under the city.
Due to the loss of the Eastern Cao Kingdom and the detour of Dumozhi, the coalition army cobbled together by the Great Cannibals suffered a crushing defeat, and soon abandoned the United States and fled back to Samarkand to hold on and wait for reinforcements.
The Turgish, who followed, did not besiege all the gates of Samarkand. The Turgish knew their weakness, which was a serious lack of equipment to attack fortifications. Moreover, the strength of the army is also slightly insufficient, accounting for most of the coalition forces are the weaker fighting Lites. Therefore, only the east and south gates were blocked.
The next morning after the Turkishes arrived in Samarkand, they launched a siege battle.
"Woo......"
The low horn of the bull trumpets resounded through the early morning clouds and continued to spread into the city of Samarkand, making Governor Wahaji's heart tremble.
If you stand on the high walls of Samarkand and look down, you can see thousands of horsemen approaching the walls like a torrent, and at a distance of a stone's throw they begin to turn, and the knights on their horses bend their bows and shoot arrows that cover the sky and the sun, and pounce mightily on the city.
At the head of the city, any soldier who dared to show his body was accurately hit by feathered arrows without exception, and if there was no armor to protect them, then they would be pierced and brought down by powerful arrows, and then nailed to the ground.
The generals shouted loudly at the shield soldiers to meet them in order to maintain the morale of the defenders. As soon as the shieldmen came up, the Trolls' bows and arrows were ineffective, and although they occasionally hit a few unlucky ones, they could not affect the overall situation. Seeing that his own killing moves were restrained, the Bullhorn quickly changed its rhythm, so the Rangers withdrew slightly.
Immediately afterward, the horn made another urging sound, and thousands of ant-like Lit allied infantry were separated from the Turgish coalition army. Slowly moving towards the city gates. Two hundred paces away, the coalition infantry began to speed up, most of the soldiers carried dozens of long and short ladders, in front of the wall river, the soldiers set up dozens of short ladders, and then laid the planks, the large group of people stepped on the planks, rushed to the city wall, put the long ladder to the wall, and then the ants attached to it. Some of the soldiers approached the gate with a rudimentary crashing cart in an attempt to break open the seemingly fragile gate.
Zahid, who had fought a lot of battles with the Turgish, knew that this was just a tentative offensive by the Turgish, so he calmly commanded the defenders at the head of the city to begin a counterattack. Stones rained down from the high walls, killing and hurting when they hit. One by one, the coalition infantry standing under the walls were knocked down, and the sound of tragedy rang out, many people's heads were smashed through, and red and white began to paint the corners of Samarkand. The soldiers who were clinging to the ladder were hit one by one and fell from a great height, making a heart-rending sound of fear in the air......
The setback was minor, but it was a serious blow to the morale of the rest of the soldiers in the city. Fortunately, the thousands of Turquoise rangers who did not retreat approached, dismounted where their bows and arrows were within range, and supported the besieging allies with a wave of accurate feathered arrows. The few longbowmen in the city began to speak in the same way to the Turks, but unfortunately they were a little lacking.
With support, the stone rain on the wall has weakened a lot, and the coalition soldiers are attacking even more desperately. The battle was at a stalemate for a while.
General Zahid was furious by the arrogance of the Turgish rangers, and taking advantage of the carelessness of the Turgish, he decisively led hundreds of death squads to open the side gates of the city wall and attack the Turgish rangers standing under their horses.
The speed of the Great Eater Horse was indeed very fast, and the Raider Shi Ranger, who had lost his speed, was suddenly shocked by the attacking Great Eater. The big cannibal's short spear was extremely lethal in a short distance, and before the two sides could make contact, dozens of people from the Turk Shi Ranger were nailed to the ground by the short spear, and then there was a fierce collision. With speed, General Zahid gained a large advantage, and the Turgish rangers, who suffered a big loss, soon collapsed. The red-eyed Zahid firmly clung to the retreating Turgish, and his death squad was not far behind and chased after the water dogs.
Of course, the Tuqi Shi people, who are outnumbered, will not sit back and watch the big cannibals wield. The horn of support sounded in time, and a hundred horsemen rushed out of the right flank of the coalition army, all of them were camel cavalry, and the knights between the camel peaks were all burly, holding double axes, covered in black, and everywhere revealed a compelling murderous aura.
After receiving the order, the hundred camel cavalry rushed to the battlefield, first giving way to the defeated rangers, and then intercepting the Great Eater cavalry. The camel cavalry showed their extremely fierce nature in just one shot, and several big cannibals who rushed too fast appeared very fragile and vulnerable in front of them, and were instantly torn apart by thunder, and Zahid was almost killed on the spot. Zahid, who was covered in a cold sweat, realized that he was too reckless, decisively reined in his horse's head, and fled.
Zahid secretly called it a fluke, the impact of those camel cavalry on him was too great. The heavy axe was danced so fast by them that when the head was cut off, the scimitar in his hand could not resist it at all, and if it were not for the speed of the horse, I am afraid that he would not be so lucky to avoid the powerful axe. Several robes were savagely cut off by their axes, and then their bodies were split in half.
In front of the coalition army, under Bai Xuan, Sulu Khan, with a majestic and domineering atmosphere, was watching the performance of the camel cavalry in surprise.
"That's the elite of the Mukun Division, the Blood Bear Black Rider."
The strategist beside Sulu Que Yi was as strange as a voice.
"The Blood Bear Black Rider with the same name as the Blood Wolf White Rider?" Sulu asked, half surprised, half interested.
"Exactly. They are all elites who obey the orders of Mohe Dagan. ”
Que Yi was as sour as his heart, obviously jealous.
This Mohe Dagan and Que Yi are as difficult as not to deal with. Mohe Dagan is the title of the leader of the Mukun tribe, and his name is Que Lusi, which is similar to the Mukun tribe. Que Yi Nanru is also ambitious for the position of the leader of the Mukun tribe. Therefore, Que Yi Nanru often stumbled on him in front of Sulu Khan. Sulu Khan also knew the reason, but he often pretended to be confused, and took advantage of the situation to knock and beat these two people. After all, the strength of the Huang tribe represented by Mohe Dagan has been hidden above his own tribe with the surname Hei.
