Chapter 430: Head-to-head showdown
But a disadvantage is a disadvantage! Even if Abu Laystina defused the crisis. But soon, under the joint attack of the soldiers of other tribes, he died on the battlefield.
Abu Laiz also quickly fought with Nurguddin and fought very dangerously.
It has to be said that the name of the tribal warrior is not called in vain. Ab Reis had only been battling Nurguddin for a few rounds before he felt the grind. I've also been injured before, so I can't exert my strength.
But then the situation for Abu Rais is very bad.
At this time, the three descending army formations finally rushed into the battlefield. Although only a short time has passed, many people can no longer wake up.
The remnants of the surrendered army, which were originally surrounded by enemy troops and were still fighting in beasts, were also greatly reduced in an instant. The surrendering forces around Abu Rais, too, seized the opportunity and regrouped together.
Knowing that Abu Lais has a special identity, many of the troops who surrendered took the initiative to help him block the offensive of the Ud-Ud. Some of the surrendered troops were not afraid of death to kill Nurguddin, but they were easily picked off their horses.
It was also when reinforcements were imminent, and these surrendered troops knew that there was still a chance to live. So they all took advantage of this opportunity to make great contributions.
So under the landfill of human lives, Abu Rais was finally re-protected by the surrendered army.
By this time, Ab Rais had added another injury. Coupled with the dark illness left before, it was difficult for him to kill the enemy again. So although he felt uncomfortable, he also let the army protect him.
Nurguddin did not give up, and attacked the army even more frantically. Leave Ab Rais on the battlefield until reinforcements are sent in to free him. However, the impetus for the arrival of reinforcements made the surrendered troops also burst out with extremely strong combat effectiveness.
was stunned and held up a somewhat sour body, gritting his teeth to resist the attack of the tribal army.
Finally, under the powerful offensive of the three surrendering army formations, the battle line was pushed near the river bank again. Abu Rais's embattled situation was also immediately resolved.
Nurguddin, who had always taken Abu Rais as his prey, could only watch Abu Rais go farther and farther away in the end.
In this way, after another half an hour, the tribal army with superior strength and relatively strong perseverance began to gain the advantage again. And as time passed, the advantages became more and more apparent.
Egnaqi, who was watching the battle, no longer hesitated and sprinkled all the tribal armies.
Compared with the 100,000 troops of the Guardian Army, the Tribal Army had 130,000 troops. In terms of numbers, the Clan Army seems to have the upper hand. However, considering the will to fight of the surrendering army and the battle losses of the previous tribal army's excess surrendering army, the advantage of the tribal army is not so obvious.
The battle between the two sides can be described as evenly matched.
"Pass the order, the fire attack can be prepared!" , Kalwan's gaze crossed the melee on the battlefield and fell on the elephant soldiers who trampled across the river. Obviously, as soon as the situation on the battlefield becomes clearer, Egnazi's elephants will be dispatched.
"They are using elephant soldiers to take the lead, it seems that they want to crush our cathars in one fell swoop!" , Timur Zhanli used a clairvoyant mirror to look at the scene of the wooden bridge shaking when the war elephant crossed the river, and said with some worry.
After all, the threat of elephant soldiers is too great. And there is no precedent for the art of fire attack. So it's hard to say how much damage can be done to the soldiers.
"It doesn't matter! We still have Skyfire. Even if the fire attack technique is difficult to work at that time, we can use the heavenly fire to disrupt its formation! Kalwan spoke, looking confident.
It was also the last time that the elephants were powerful, and it was the heavenly fire that turned the tide. Most of the more than 100 elephant soldiers killed in battle were caused by the heavenly fire. It's just that the fire is used a little less. If you want to make additions, you can only transfer them from the superintendent of Maru.
Of course, the eight-meter armory workshop can also be produced. However, most of the raw materials used to make it were collected from Malu at a high price. This matter involves the leakage of secrets by the Supervision Division, which has been revealed under the joint investigation of the Secretariat and the Supervision Division.
The chief officers of the Supervision Division, the Affairs Division, and the Supervision Division were all punished to a certain extent. In particular, the chief officer of the superintendent was dismissed directly because of this matter.
It's just that considering that this is wartime, it is not appropriate to liquidate it too harshly. Therefore, except for the relevant craftsmen and merchants who caused leaks to the superintendent, they were directly executed, and everyone else was demoted or fined. And the Supervision Department and the Affairs Department also admonished them, so they did not investigate further.
For the outside world, there is no hype. So at present, not many people know about it. Even most of the people and low- and middle-level officials in Malu did not know that such a serious leak had occurred in Khorasan.
Now, in order to cooperate with the military operations ahead, Li Chengji has dispatched some craftsmen from the Firearms Division to Bami. The first batch of heavenly fires has also been produced. That's why Kalwan was so confident that he used up all the stored heavenly fire.
Timur did not know about this. But I am still very confident in the efficacy of Tianhuo. Therefore, when I heard Kalwan mention this, I was not so worried.
Watching the battle on the battlefield like this, it took about half an hour. Whether it is a surrendered army or a tribal army, they are gradually showing fatigue under this long-term high-intensity battle. The shouts of killing on the battlefield are gradually replaced by the screams and wails of the dying.
"Knock knock knock ······", and the earth suddenly shook at this time. The two warring sides first froze for a while, and then a burst of cheers erupted from the tribal army. I saw behind them, and the figure of the strange soldier gradually appeared.
"Let them go back!" After Kalwan finished speaking, the messenger waved a small flag to let the surrendered army retreat.
Seeing this, the soldiers who had long been afraid of the surrendering army immediately showed a look of relief and retreated to the position of the cathar army like a tide. Ignazi did not let the tribal army stay in the way, and allowed them to stop the pursuit.
So the people on both sides who were still fighting together just now immediately returned to their camp in a clear way.
"Drive out the cattle and sheep!" After Kalwan finished speaking, the cattle and sheep that had been prepared were driven to the front of the camp. The soldiers who drove the cattle and sheep also carried a torch each.
And the elephant soldiers, on the other hand, have already rushed to the battlefield. And driven by the soldiers on the back of the elephant, the speed of the war elephant is getting faster and faster. The corpses of some dead soldiers and the dying soldiers were also trampled by the war elephants and turned into pulp in an instant.
The whole earth was even more humming, and even the walls of the military fort were faintly shaking.
Despite the preparations, this momentum still made people change their faces. Timur sat on a high place and watched, and he couldn't help but breathe a little faster.
"Ignition!" , Tatarav, who was in charge of the fire attack, shouted loudly.
I saw the soldiers pointing the tails of cattle and sheep one after another. Because of the pouring of fire oil, the fire broke out in a flash. Under the pain, the cattle and sheep also rushed out. And with the route of the fire oil infected, it instantly burned to the backs of cattle and sheep.
The firecrackers tied to the cattle and sheep were also ignited. Just listen to the bang generated, which is bigger than the movement of the elephant soldiers.
