Chapter 291: The Battle of the Trench (Part II)
"Our brothers fought bloody battles with soldiers on the front lines,
And the sword has no material that can be repaired, and the bow and arrow have no bowstring that can be replaced.
But our morale is not low! You can even repel enemy attacks again even more!
However, at such a time,
How can there be a traitor like you?! ”
Uthman looked at the huge cage in the square, which was occupied by members of the Qulaidd tribe among the Jews, who had already negotiated with Sufyan to open the gates of the city to welcome the Mecca army when the allies attacked.
Just as the warriors of the Crescent Cult were on the front line, fighting against the more than a thousand cavalry that had broken through, the gate behind them suddenly opened, exposing the empty city inside to all the enemies outside the city.
Above the trenches are the last remaining forces of the Crescent Cult, and as long as the Meccan army can defeat them, the city is within reach!
However, Abu had not yet pressed his troops to the front line, and he was on his way to the front when he heard the sound of the gates opening.
So, the team of fifty people immediately turned their guns and returned to the city of Mecca.
If this squad is not for this team, then Medina will completely fall, they will be completely caught in a situation of fighting on two fronts, and it will also be a serious blow to morale.
But fortunately, there is no danger now.
The defenders of Medina were less than 2,000 men, and the number of people who could actually fight was only about 1,000, including many generals, including the Prophet Muhammad himself.
And the allies on the other side are actually not much better.
The cavalry, which was originally close to two thousand, is now less than three hundred, and a large number of horses have been taken away by the other side, so now the other side has a sufficient number of cavalry.
And this means that the cavalry of the Crescent Cult can get where they want to go at any time after the trenches.
The infantry lost nearly 1,500 men, and the casualties of each tribe were not small, and the chief of one tribe even died directly on the battlefield.
But even after such a fierce battle, the defenders of Medina still held out with tenacious strength.
Although after the retreat of the Confederates, several trenches were filled with corpses, and the blood stained the earth black, and even within the trenches, a steaming stream was formed.
The battlefield under the twilight only saw countless corpses ghosting, which seemed to have produced a mirage because of the transpiration of blood; The air smells of blood and rancidity, and it is usually accompanied by disease.
However, both sides understood the horror of the disease, so they sent teams to gather the corpses together and then set them on fire to prevent the spread of the disease.
A roaring mountain of flames, burning south of Medina, seemed to come the final day.
"What now?"
Ali had suffered a number of wounds and was now being treated by the doctors, while Umar and Abu each bandaged their wounds.
The Prophet had nothing to do, but it was time for a moment, so the Prophet took two of his guards and fought the enemy.
"I can only wait......
We have no supplies, and looking at the horrific casualties, if the other side withdraws, it will be a real defeat. ”
Umar leaned against the tower behind him and watched as Abu wiped the blood from his scimitar, while several other generals and warriors stood watching the situation on the other side.
"We can't die yet...... Since neither the Prophet nor Allah has forsaken us...
So... We must have a chance to turn defeat into victory..."
Instead of looking up at him, Abu stared at his long knife, as if to see if it could still be as sharp as it had been before the battle.
"Enemy Attack !!"
Several guards shouted loudly, and the bronze bells of the city rang.
Beyond the trench were the heavenly torches, an evil dragon.
……
……
……
"The current situation..."
"In the attack just now, we killed 23 people and wounded 7, while the other side killed 38 people"
“…… Go and tell the Prophet this news. ”
For a month, the harassment and attacks like that night never stopped.
Su Fuyang understood that if he fought hard, he might not have any advantage against this group of Crescent Moon warriors with high morale, and the loose alliance army was not a battle-hardened army after all, and the failure of the attack under the huge advantage would have too much impact on morale.
Therefore, he plans to take his life to do arithmetic problems with the other party.
They were short of food, firewood, and had been surrounded for a month by the Medina, unable to get supplies from elsewhere, while the towns had long since been depleted of food, and the cattle used for animal husbandry were slaughtered one by one, but even then it was not enough.
Moreover, what the other party lacks the most is people, and compared with them, the most is people.
The lives of other tribes were just a number to him.
“…… Although we can defend it, if we continue to wear it out like this, I am afraid we will not have enough troops to organize a counterattack. ”
The trench did defend against the attack, but again, it limited the defense.
The attacking soldiers had to first climb over the trench, then engage the enemy, and then retreat into the trench, which was too much physical exertion for a soldier, and the current food could not give the soldiers more strength.
Moreover, the same is true for the rations of the war horses, so colliding with the opponent's army will only be sent to death.
Umar looked down from the lookout, where the camp was arranged in the direction of the pass, and the guard and arrow tower had been erected to guard against the attack of Medina's army.
"If you keep it like this...... I'm afraid it's going to be troublesome. ”
"That's why I'm here, leader of the tribe."
"Who!"
Umar did not have guards with him, the rich troops were deployed to the front, and the herald just now had already left, so who would be around now!?
But as soon as he pulled out his own knife, the opponent's weapon was already against his neck.
……
The Prophet said that we will be victorious because Allah is on our side!
He has sent a curse upon our enemies! ”
Abu, who had just come out of the council chamber, excitedly told the news to the whole Medina, and the crescent believers immediately became excited, because the Prophet had conveyed the will of Allah to them, and since that was the case, they would be victorious!
People of other religions, on the other hand, are skeptical, and some even dismiss, how can they save the people of this city? And how to save this crescent banner in danger?
However, the situation has changed.
The sky, which would have been clear all the time, suddenly cast a shadow over the sun today.
But the only light that emerged from the clouds was the newborn moon.
And the hurricane that swallowed everything came from the west.
The army of Mecca had always set up their camps on the open plains, and in the passes, there was a safe medina.
The wind swept up the armaments and tents of the Meccans into the sky, and the many more were plunged into infinite fear: the prophet in Medina was indeed inspired and carefully protected by the true Lord of all things.
He will not end his life until his mission is accomplished.
All he did was bring his final revelation to the land.
But this is not the case with the demons who have been observing, and they do find that the saints inside are protected by God.
Then, even if he does not support it, he will surely achieve what he wants: to unite his people under one state, to get rid of ignorance and turn to civilization.
So what if that's the case......
"Yes, Mistress Shenqi, there are no demons here who can manipulate the power of the wind.
The Ω and our people have established this, there are no Zoroastrians, and there are no Christians from the West.
Be. I understand.
I'll submit the report later. ”
The Crescent Sect, on this small piece of land, has officially changed from a defensive posture to an offensive posture.
And a new civilization is about to be born here.
Rome and Persia in the north were completely unaware of this.
