Chapter 982: All of them are ruthless
"Thief, don't eat and drink when you toast!" Liu Feng kicked over a Seljuk man, and then pointed the tip of the gun straight at the man's chest, and several Qi army auxiliaries around him, who were also armed with knives and guns, looked at the Seljuk middle-aged man with a sneer.
The leader of the team was a veteran ruffian from ten years ago, and he was very fierce, and when he went up, there was a burst of kicking and beating, and the Seljuk man was holding his head and screaming.
"Fuck! It's a cheap one. "Isn't it just to take your sheep away, kill the meat and eat it, and not kill your old children and kill your daughter-in-law, as for the death or life like this?" Grandpa this is already polite, I think when grandpa followed the army to sweep the Jurchens, who dared to stop in front of him? ”
That is, the top is now tightly grasped, otherwise he would have been killed by a single shot. The officer spat in the Seljuks' faces, and then a group of men swaggered away with knives and guns leading two fat sheep. They all look like bandits.
Military discipline is worrisome!
Not far away, a royal front iron rider who had just passed by saw this scene, and I don't know how many people shook their heads unconsciously. The military judge next to him wanted to record the lives and numbers of the handful, but the officer in charge waved his hand and refused. The military salary of the auxiliary soldiers is half lower than that of the regular army, and the profit sharing of the spoils is also a little less, it is not easy for everyone, so forget it!
What's more, where is there no such thing?
Look at those dragon masters. One by one, they ......can vigorously pull the gold and silver slaves into their pockets, and they don't mention how they look, and they are all ruthless!
At the moment, I just snatched two sheep, one didn't kill anyone, and the other didn't have a woman, which is already good.
Liu Feng's city is none other than Nishapur. The city had been overwhelmed with blood in previous battles, countless people had been killed in the war, and countless others had been taken captive in the days that followed.
Don't think that "three days without sealing the knife" is really a bloody slaughter of the city, first of all, the craftsmen in the city are the first type of people to be retained by the Qi army, and then women, young and strong women.
Finally, there are the children.
After all, the Qi army is not a beast, even if it is not sealed for three days, there are many Nishapur men who survived.
As long as you don't resist robbery, if you don't have scars on your body, or if you can swallow your anger very much, and if your wife and daughter are ugly again, can you survive safely? [Let's avoid river crabs]
A large number of women and children became spoils of war, but many more of them were taken from families in Nishapur who had lost their men. As for why those individuals have no pillars, the answer is self-evident.
The entire Nishapur has been cleaned, not all of them have been killed, and the surviving natives inside now see the Qi army like a mouse seeing a cat, and they don't dare to resist at all. But outside the city, it's a different story.
Previously, the out-of-town rangers and local natives had organized a force of more than 1,500 men to frantically besiege a fringe stronghold, which had only one of Du's auxiliaries. As a result, the Seljuks were held out of the city, and finally the whole army collapsed under the attack of 100 horsemen from the flank, which was the greatest victory of the auxiliary army in the suppression of the native rebellion after taking over the city.
……
The Alborz Mountains, a large mountain in the Persian plateau that stretches for two thousand miles. The city of Turan is located at the southern foot of this mountain range.
Unlike the humid and rainy northern foothills, the southern foothills receive only one-third of the precipitation in the northern foothills, or even less.
But both in the north and in the south, there are large indigenous gatherings.
There are two important mountain passes: one is the Kandaiwan Pass, which is formed between the Karati and Charus rivers; The other is the Gaduk Pass formed between the Hablia and Tara rivers. There were many important towns in the longitudinal valleys, and after all, almost all of Persia's influential large cities were built on the hills, which provided good cover for the cities to resist foreign invasions.
Turan is one such city.
As one of Sanjar's satellite towns in the northeastern part of the Persian Plateau, it was a fierce battle.
The condescending terrain of Turan City greatly reduced the effectiveness of the artillery of the Lu Qi army, but even so, after many days of shelling, Turan City suffered heavy losses. Relying on their absolute strength, the heavily armored Lu Qi army even took down many of the camps arranged by the Seljuks outside the city. The Liangshan Cannon played a greater role in this battle than in the Battle of Nishapur. It is proven with facts that there is no such thing as the best weapon, only the most suitable one.
The night soon fell, and the killing was still loud on the battlefield. The pass, which had been majestic a few days ago, was now in tatters, and the tall city walls had collapsed several breaches under the onslaught of the Lu Qi army's artillery group. Groups of Lu Qi soldiers had not yet entered the city, but the Seljuks on the positions outside the city were still resisting.
The main commander defending the city of Turan was none other than Mansour, who had escaped from Nebshar and was one of Gershap's lieutenants, who had been sent back to Hamadan. However, the Kandaiwan Pass and the Gaduk Pass cannot be given up in vain. Resistance is a grand strategy that Sanjar has long drawn up. The city of Turan is one of them.
Mansur used two-thirds of his forces to place them in a dangerous place outside the city. Only guarding the city of Turan, that is looking for death. Don't you hold on to the dangerous places outside the city and wait for the Chinese to pull the cannons under the city?
Large numbers of troops were deployed on different hills and passes, as well as on some highlands and halfway platforms. Using the method of Ghulam pressing the tribal cavalry, and the tribal cavalry pressing the militia, they kept filling the positions everywhere and cheering up, and you don't care how many people they died, but they managed to hold on until tonight.
A large number of hand-to-hand combat troops in heavy armor launched wave after wave of charges against the Seljuk positions under the cover of artillery, and the Seljuks' bows and arrows and crossbows were also fighting back with all their might, and they also learned Lu Qi's incendiary bombs, and the fiery red 'cannonballs' drew red traces in the dark night sky, shuttling back and forth between the two sides.
Lu Bei lowered his head, and ran from the gap in the wall of Tulan City with a shallow foot on the "path" like a pile of rubble, followed by a group of dozens of people, the number of people was not large, but it was already all the troops he had gathered.
Of course, these people are either vassals or servants.
In today's Qi army sequence, the auxiliaries are the Qi army's own people, the vassal army is the vassal soldiers and their own people, and the servant army is the army conquered by Lu Qi, such as the Kara people and the Flower Thorn Zim people.
As a feudal soldier, a person who had won the position of fifty chiefs for his "military exploits", he had only recently received a letter from his family and learned that his family had received the spoils of war sent back by him and his father, and his loyalty to Lu Qi was at its peak at this moment.
For example, now, as a feudal soldier, he could have stayed outside the city to clean up the battlefield, just like his father did now. However, Lu Bei, who longed for a higher position and a higher reward, gathered a group of people with the same thoughts to appear here.
As soon as he left the city, stumps and severed arms could be seen everywhere along the way, and the entire city had been reduced to rubble, and the fate of Turan City had been decided after the positions outside the city were lost one after another.
It's just that Mansur and the people in the city didn't expect that the Qi army would be so fierce in battle, and they would be so ruthless as soon as they struck!
The cannonballs were smashed as if they were not money, and in less than two days, the last barracks outside the city were broken and the city pass was also destroyed.
Whether it was the city gate tower or the city wall, it had been beaten beyond recognition by hundreds of shells in less than two days.
Mansour had commanded and dispatched well, and the Seljuks were desperate and heroic, but the war was irreversibly tilted in their undesirable direction.
is like the China in the hundred years of shame in the original time and space, and the failures it has experienced. Guan Tianpei, Chen Huacheng, Bali Bridge, Dadonggou, Liugong Island, and even the Eight-Year Anti-Japanese War......
How many people are there to fight to the death? But in the end?
Weapons are inferior to people, financial resources are inferior to people, and soldiers are inferior to people's combat strength, and in the final analysis, their strength is inferior to people. Just like the previous Northern Tianzhu and Lu Qi, Zhu Luo and Lu Qi, Srivijaya, Nanyue, Champang, Japan and a series of country names and Lu Qi......
This is also a god-like reflection of the current war.
The Seljuks, who were unwilling to be captured, tried everything they could, just like Mansour in this war, but in the end their efforts were not rewarded, and they still could not reverse the entire battle towards the fall of Lu Qi.
