The reason why Li Chou dared to fight directly at Riyadh was that on the one hand, there were many soldiers and abundant resources in the middle of the river, and on the other hand, after all, the caliphate of the Caliphate was supported by the Great Min, because of trade, many tribes were still tied to the belt of the Great Min, and Busman had to adopt a policy of hostility towards the Great Min, which was unpopular. XsHuotXT

The army he can control in his hands is only about two or three thousand Basra troops, and even if you add the desert tribes that support him, it is only more than 10,000, and the disparity in strength is huge.

Moreover, the tribal soldiers, who lacked training armor and equipment, were far from being the opponents of the Min army.

But on the contrary, Busman had more than 10,000 soldiers, and he used it on the blade.

The Bedou was extremely tired from being attacked like flies for several days, and the oasis sites marked on the map were often withered sand dunes, and the Great Min Expeditionary Force had not found water for several days, so they had to kill camels to get water from their stomachs to quench their thirst, and the tired and thirsty Min army was all about drinking water, how could they have predicted that the Arabs would come out of Riyadh and travel thousands of miles away to the desert not a few days away from the border of the capital to ambush them.

There was no time to form a formation, the Fujian army on the right flank was directly crushed under the sudden impact of the Bedouin camel, and the camel rushed into the Fujian army formation excitedly, the Bedouin rider smiled and waved the scimitar, relying on the impact of the camel, easily harvesting the lives of the Fujian army, and in the clattering chopping, a large group of blood was splashed in the hot yellow sand.

"Formation! You idiots! If you run around, you will definitely die, and you can still have some way to survive if you resist in formation! The tiger's head and round shield were at the front, crowding forward, Song Jing screamed as hard as he could, his voice did not appease the Min soldiers, but led the Bedouin riders who rode camels fiercely.

Gave up chasing and killing a few Indian mercenaries who were running around, and with a scimitar, an Arab knight with a particularly tall figure, a leopard head and eyes, and a protruding forehead smiling fiercely and holding a scimitar against a camel, turned around and fiercely towards Song Jing to kill.

There was the ugly snort of the camel in his ears, and even the unpleasant body odor of the camel filled his nostrils, and he turned his head in shock, Song Jing felt a cool breath rising from his back, and the cold hair stood up, and in the next second, the cold glittering scimitar had been cut in front of him.

The blood was poured on the dry sand at once, and the scorching sand from the sun scorched up a cloud of green smoke, emitting a burnt smell.

In fact, the cavalry is not as terrible as imagined, the group cavalry together to impact the irresistible impact and overwhelming momentum is still difficult to defeat, separated is easy to become a higher target for the infantry, there are more than ten ways to kill a single cavalry.

One of the most effective is to chop a horse's leg!

Four or five hundred years later, the famous Battle of Yuncheng, Yue Fei Yue Wumu led the elite Yuejia army and the Jin army to fight fiercely, using a long-handled broadsword to cut off the cavalry and cut off the horse's legs.

Just now, Song Jing was also a simple move, calm, let go of the body, the shield protected the upper body, and the left leg of the camel was cut off with a horizontal knife, and the camel that lost its balance directly threw out the fierce Bedouin knight.

Unprepared at all, his face fell into the hot sand, and the Bedouin rider immediately let out a scream like killing a pig, but he only stopped abruptly halfway through the scream, and stabbed the horizontal knife into his back, and then pulled out with a large clump of blood, holding the bloody knife high, Song Jing roared like a wild beast.

In the end, the Great Min Legion, which conquered half of the world, has a kind of pride, Song Jing's bloody knife seems to have awakened the entire legion, and from the chaotic situation at the beginning, the sergeants near Song Jing also began to draw their weapons fiercely and bloodthirsty, and turned back into the bloody battle with the Bedouins.

After the initial smooth sailing, the casualties of the Arab cavalry also began to rise in a straight line, some of the Fujian troops hugged together, and the round shields were put together directly into a slope, and the Bedouin cavalry who paved over fell on the slope, and then were cut by the swords behind the shield slope.

Ten or ten spear soldiers formed a spear, four or five meters long lance poked out from afar, stabbed from all directions, riding on camels and wielding scimitars, the Arab cavalry could only slap the spearheads back and forth in embarrassment, and finally was stabbed off the horse.

On the whole, the Great Min Expeditionary Force was still in an unfavorable situation, lacking command, and could only fight on its own, the formation was chaotic, and the structure was almost completely broken, and many Fujian troops had to face the massacre of the entire Arab tribe single-handedly, and a large number of Min people still lay down in the sand dunes.

Under the cruel illumination of the scorching sun, the battle situation is moving towards a stalemate step by step.

Behind the Arabs, Busman was also red-eyed, his fists clenched tightly, and he looked anxiously at the battlefield.

However, after this melee lasted for almost a few pillars of incense, the turning point came again.

At the sound of Herod's horses' hooves, a large Min banner suddenly appeared at the right end of the dune, and then countless iron horsemen in the river followed the black banner and rushed towards the Bedouin flank.

Although Li Chou is full of family talent, after all, he has been in the army for a few years, and he is not confused, and he uses the last water to ensure that the most elite iron cavalry of the Hezhong Army is fully guaranteed, and everyone comes to grab water to drink, but this iron cavalry of 5,000 people does not move, and under the leadership of the deputy general and guerrilla general Wang Lun, he appeared on the battlefield when he needed it most.

By the height, hundreds of Bedouin light horses fell from the rain of arrows, and the strong and fierce horses of the Western Regions cut into the right flank of the thinly equipped Bedouin army as easily as butter, and more than 300 horses in the front row pierced the four-meter-long horse lance like a hedgehog, and such an impact could not be stopped by the Arabs at all.

Extremely unwilling to scold, Busman turned his head and left with an annoyed shout, and the horn changed its emphasis again, and the Bedouin nomadic army with the tribe as the core also left the battlefield from all directions in a short period of time.

In less than a cup of tea, there were not many Bedouin light cavalry left, but after the attack, the Damin expeditionary force still looked like a nightmare, looking left and right in horror and panting, and the entire battlefield continued to be deadly silent. It took a long time to hear a plop, but it was the sweaty Song Jing who sat on the ground.

Like the beginning of a domino, there were more and more plopping sounds, and even some sergeants fainted to death on the ground.

…………

In the evening, the Min army stationed next to the oasis finally restored order, one by one the barracks were set up in an orderly manner, the sergeants stayed quietly in the tents to rest, and the Huotou army fetched water from the oasis and distributed it evenly to each camp, but in the order, this kind of anxiety and decadence and depression were solidified.

The troops were dispatched for seven days, advanced more than 400 miles, did not fight a battle, and on the first day of the battle, they were killed by the Bedouin cavalry, who looked down on them in the past, more than 1,400 people, and the wilderness was full of corpses of the Min army, and the Bedouin only lost four or five hundred, and this kind of battle was also fatal to morale.

In Li Chou's tent, there was also a dead silence, the initial enthusiasm of the officers who were fanatical at the beginning had already been wiped out in a few days of thirst, and today's battle was more like a big slap in the face, beating them deafeningly.

In fact, the Min army did not have a deep understanding and psychological preparation for the cruelty and durability of desert warfare, and at this moment, many officers had a retreat in their hearts, but looking at Li Chou Tieqing's face, no one dared to bring it up.

Looking at Li Chou's ugly face and hugging his shoulders, Song Jing shrank in a corner with disdain.

Before going out, he swore that he would not break Riyadh and not return it, and he lost more than 1,000 troops in the first battle, Li Chou felt that his face was hot, especially what led him to fear was how Li Rang should treat him as a cousin after he went back, so the fear turned into a fierce and hideous, like a trapped beast, Li Chou had no family demeanor at all, pacing back and forth with his hands behind his back, and after a while, he roared and knocked on the table and shouted.

"A bunch of rubbish! A group of pigs, tens of thousands of people make so many Arab Hu people fight so embarrassed, even if the pig commands, it is better than your command! ”

This is tantamount to shirking responsibility, but unfortunately, Li Chou's majesty was swept away, and many generals even snorted coldly in their hearts, isn't it as good as a command? What a bad fight!

Just as Li Chou was roaring and cursing non-stop, Captain Cui Parker suddenly broke into the tent and knelt down on one knee in a hurry.

"Tell the generals, if you find the main force of the sand pirates, it will be on the sand dunes less than twenty miles away from our army!"

As soon as these words came out, the huge military tent was silent again............
