Chapter 1580: Finally Won

Both of them have loud voices and authentic Arabic. So, hearing their shouts, all the Berber cavalry and Arab cavalry brandishing Arab scimitars ready to counterattack were stunned......

Aayum was the first lieutenant general of this army, a famous general of the Wattas dynasty. Once, General Ali, who was imprisoned outside the city, was Morocco's first fierce general. But General Ali is older, already over 60 years old. So, he turned to the background...... No, it's the commander in chief who sits in the rear......

Then, the new generation of fierce general brother Ayyum, who was only in his thirties, replaced General Ali and became the first fierce general in Morocco. Not to mention being famous within the Wattas Dynasty, even the Saad tribe knew the great name of the bearded Ayyum. Previously, when the two armies converged, Ayyum accepted the request of many strong men of the Saad tribe to compete in arms. Without exception, the Saad's generals were defeated. Therefore, General Ayyum was not only famous among the more than 10,000 troops of the Wattas Dynasty, but also among the 8,000 cavalry sent by the Saad Dynasty. His death dealt a great blow to the psychology of the Moroccan coalition soldiers......

Then, many Moroccan warriors who listened to the shouts really began to mess around, running around like headless flies. But there are also sensible ones, who try to squeeze forward, wanting to see the truth and avoid being deceived.

Of course, there is another kind of people, who are near Ayum and have seen with their own eyes the whole process of Aayum being killed by the Spaniards on the roof. So they were angry:

"Damn the Spaniards, they're the ones who plotted against Lord Ayum! Brethren, let's go up to the roof and kill them! ”

Then, a group of Moroccan warriors jumped off their horses and marched towards Gonzalo in a menacing manner. Morality. The gate of the tall building where Córdoba is located, trying to rush in, climb to the roof, and kill Gonzalo. Morality. A trip to Córdoba.

However, when they came to the gate of the building, they were surprised to find that the gate had been blocked from the inside......

They tried to kick the door, but the door was so full of furniture and miscellaneous objects that they couldn't kick it open......

Gonzalo. Morality. Córdoba stood on the roof and smiled, and said in his heart:

"Don't you have any common sense, old man? Will you wait on the roof to come up and kill me? It's silly......"

In fact, in order to prevent the Moroccan cavalry from entering the house, climbed on the roof to kill the Spanish soldiers, Gonzalo last night. Morality. Córdoba ordered that all the doors of the houses on South Street should be blocked from the inside, so that the Moroccan warriors would not come up and hurt the Spanish soldiers.

In fact, General Ali, the leader of the Moroccan coalition army, was right, if the Moroccan warriors were given the opportunity to fight head-on with his soldiers, the Moroccans might not lose. After all, the Moroccans were barbarians who were good at playing with knives, and their individual combat effectiveness was much stronger than that of the Spanish peasants.

Under normal circumstances, if the city was breached, the Spanish soldiers who were peasants in the city would only be slaughtered by this group of Moroccan warriors armed with scimitars, and only the Spanish knights in backless suits would have the ability to face them. After all, the knights' children have been practicing martial arts since childhood, and they are no worse than these nomads, and even more powerful in martial arts. But the Spanish knights were few in number, unlike the Moroccan warriors, who had a bunch for each clan. The Moroccans really attacked the city, and it was true that they could only be slaughtered.

Kogonsalo. Morality. Córdoba has learned a few hands with Marin, the first in Europe, and at the beginning, Marin specially played with Gonzalo. Morality. Córdoba has done this. Then, after abandoning the sense of honor, Gonzalo. Morality. Córdoba decided to use it for real combat ......

The city of Fes was once the capital of the Vattasi dynasty in Morocco, and the city was tall and sturdy, with many buildings. In particular, on South Street, there is a well-developed business, and many shops are made of stone, which is very suitable for arranging this tactic.

And after arranging this tactic, even if the Moroccan warriors are highly capable of fighting individually, so what? First of all, you have to find the enemy before you can fight them......

There is a way to find the enemy, and that is to reach it in the alleys of the streets. However, after the Moroccan warriors dismounted and rushed in, there were not only a large number of obstacles in the narrow alley that were inconvenient for charging, but also a row of spears that had no head and no brains to poke at them......

The alley is so wide that it can't accommodate a large number of people walking. Although it is not up to the level of "one man is the key to ten thousand people", it is really inconvenient to attack.

If you encounter European heavy infantry with a shield in hand, you may be able to storm it. However, the Moroccans were mainly scimitar cavalry, without even armor and no bows and arrows.

There was no shield, no armor, not even a bow and arrow. The Moroccan warriors armed with scimitars had little to do with the Spanish spearmen in the alley.

And on the rooftops of the streets, 1,500 Spanish musketeers and 500 crossbowmen were not idle, they kept shooting arrows into the street, and the hapless Moroccan cavalry was not stopped.

And that's not all, there were still a large number of Spanish soldiers without muskets and bows and arrows on the houses, and they smashed down with the bricks and stones that had been prepared for a long time, and the unlucky Moroccan soldiers were smashed to the point of bleeding.

The Moroccan warriors were melee cavalrymen who could only slash people with scimitars, and did not even have long-range weapons, so they could only be beaten passively. In desperation, they had to scurry through the streets to avoid being hit by muskets, arrows, and masonry.

They couldn't smash the door, they didn't dare to enter the alley, and they could only be happily attacked by the Spaniards on the roof......

Of course, there were also clever Moroccan warriors who picked up the bricks and stones, including arrows, thrown by the Spaniards on the street and threw them on the roofs as a counterattack.

At first, there were really Spanish soldiers who didn't pay attention to the move. But after paying attention, it's okay again. After all, the Spanish soldiers could step back, and it was beyond the sight of the Moroccan soldiers. And the Moroccan warriors in the streets, who could not hide from the sight of the Spanish soldiers......

In this way, after being beaten for a long time, the morale of the Moroccan warriors, who could not fight back, collapsed......

Of the 15,000 Moroccan coalition forces of 20,000 who broke into the city, only 5,000 were once regulars, and the other 10,000 were mostly irregular herders.

The tribal cavalry composed of those herdsmen was okay with the wind and very fierce. Once you encounter this kind of headwind battle with no ability to fight back, it is easy to collapse.

No, after being beaten for a long time, thousands of herdsmen's cavalry took the initiative to drop their scimitars, squatted down with their heads in their hands, and begged for mercy loudly. There were only about 3,000 remnants of the regular army, and they were still trying to throw stones at each other with the Spaniards on the rooftops......

Gonzalo. Morality. As soon as Córdoba saw that the time was ripe, he immediately asked his Arabic interpreter to shout:

"Surrender or kill!"

"Surrender or kill!"

At the same time, he ordered the musketeers and crossbowmen to concentrate on the die-hards who were still resisting......

……

It wasn't until late in the evening that the die-hards were basically wiped out. Then the surviving six or seven thousand Moroccan herdsman cavalry, captured by the Spaniards......

Outside the city, General Ali of the Wattas dynasty and General Sheikh of the Saad tribe saw that the situation was gone, so they had to flee with the remaining less than 5,000 scimitar cavalry.

In this regard, Gonzalo. Morality. Córdoba didn't have anything to do, after all, he didn't have that many cavalry to chase. And the reason why he risked putting the enemy into the city to ambush was because the infantry had no way to take the fleeing cavalry. Only by putting the enemy's cavalry into the city and cutting off its rear road can it be guaranteed that it will be left behind......

However, although 15,000 of the enemy's horses were eliminated this time, most of the enemy's 15,000 horses were killed and injured due to the indiscriminate attack for victory during the attack, which made Gonzalo de Córdoba feel distressed. Because, in the end, he only captured more than 6,000 intact Moroccan Bobu horses. The rest of the war horses were either killed by mistake or injured in the chaos, and they could no longer be used as war horses......

Fortunately, after this battle, both the Wattas Dynasty and the Saad tribe were greatly injured and could not recover for a long time. So, Gonzalo. Morality. During the time Córdoba left Morocco, it was difficult for either force to pose a threat to the Spanish-controlled areas of northern Morocco. And Gonzalo. Morality. Córdoba, you can also go to Italy to clean up the mess there......
