Chapter 34: The Fall of Sharitz
The independence of Marshal Oliver caused a huge sensation. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info This is a huge ripple effect that even Oliver himself did not expect. He became independent and no longer used the name Kalade.
The lords of the knightly city of Paraven, especially the Harengus family, who have the Knights of Sanctions, also learned from it, they also want to be independent, and they also want to be kings, so they are also independent, and they support their own armies, and call themselves the kingdom of Svadia, the country of knights.
Gary, the prime minister of Dehrim, also followed the trend and declared his independence, and Gary, who inherited the knights of the Guards of Sir Harlaus, also proclaimed himself the country of knights and established the kingdom of Strar.
Just as everyone was gearing up, Kujitt's army was marching towards the newly-born kingdom of Strar.
Faster than the Kugit is the southernmost region of Calradia, the Sharez region. The Salander Sultanate has long been ready to move, but it has no chance, and now it has finally waited for the opportunity, how can it be missed.
Just when these countries are fighting to the death, in the desert at the southernmost tip of the Calradia continent. Allah's people live a relatively peaceful life. The Sultanate of Salander in the Southern Desert has always been a mysterious country, there are legends that only demons live there, and the people are servants of demons, and some say that it is a legendary kingdom of heaven and is rich in beautiful gems.
As the most mysterious country on the continent of Calradia. Even Drake the Great, the greatest conqueror in the history of the Kallad dynasty, failed to unravel its mysteries. Historically, the Karad Empire has launched several expeditions against the Salander Sultanate. Trying to conquer the last of the lands of Calradia, Salander had three magic weapons that left the Emperor and his proud Iron Horseman in vain. The first is the vast desert, the second is Allah's scimitar Mamluk cavalry, and the third is the iron-sharpened sword of Salander. During a confrontation between the two armies, the Sultan of Salander severed a tossed silk scarf with a saber. Since then, the continent of Calradia has had the legend of the sword of Salander. Now, with years of war in the interior, this mysterious country is also eager to prepare for entering the continent of Calradia.
At a busy moment in the Central Plains, Azhar Sultan decisively began his journey to the end of Karad with his soldiers. 120,000 soldiers of the Salander Sultanate, besieging the last area still under the banner of the Karad Empire, Sharez.
The Sultanate of Salander is a land of mysteries! No one knows what happened to him, although there were wars, but in the long course of history, the Karadians had completely forgotten the horrors of the Salanders, and they were still proud of their knights, until they went to war with the Salander Sultanate, met the Mamluks, and returned defeated. For the first time, the Mamluks let Swadia know that they still had opponents. In the desert, the Mamluks and Svadia are actually evenly divided. The sword in his hand was stained with the blood of the invaders, and the eyes under the veil shone with the light of a saint.
This is known as the Shariz encounter.
The Mamluks, known as the Blade of Allah, originally meant "slaves", and because of the different transliterations, they were also translated as "Mamluks", mostly non-Muslim nomads from the interior of Karadia, who were caught by slave traders and sold to the Salander region, and then formed into mercenaries by the sultans. For a monarch, a strong and obedient army is undoubtedly the best choice, if you can't have both, then an obedient but not strong army is acceptable, and a strong but disobedient army is absolutely unacceptable! The Mamluks were slaves, often non-Muslims, had no tribal background within the empire, and had a lowly status, leaving the monarch with nothing, so they were very loyal to the monarch, and in the event of war, they were often more handy tools than their own national army.
The people of Karad, who were alone in the cavalry, did not realize the strength of the Mamluks, and the proud Karad gave up the advantage of defending the city, and sent all the cavalry and most of the infantry to fight the Salanders who came to fight at the edge of the desert.
The Karadians, simply thinking that the Salanders were vulnerable, commanded the cavalry to charge on all fronts before the enemy army had even set up a formation, leaving no room for anything!
According to the conjecture of their Karadians, at most it was a bow and arrow shot, and the shield was over, but they did not expect the Salanders to also send cavalry.
"Stupid Salanders, how dare you fight with our Karadian cavalry, you can't do it yourself!" The Karadians, with taunts, went to war with the Mamluks.
The Great War begins. The Kalladians were crushed at the touch of a button.
The pampered knights were no match for the Mamluks, who were not afraid of life and death. Even the best knights can kill the Mamluks, but two, three, four! Tens of thousands of Mamluks are boundless, and even the best knights are buried in the sea of knights.
The heavy infantry of Calad were waiting for the knights on the front line to win the pursuit, but they didn't expect it to be defeated and retreat so quickly!
The Karad hoplites did not react at all, and inexplicably began to defend in an attacking formation.
"Formation! Raise the shield with a shield! "The soldiers were ready to pursue, most of them without heavy shields. In the face of cavalry charges, spears are useful, shields are useful, and two-handed swords are useless.
The Mamluks' long-handled weapons easily pierced the armor of the Kallad hoplites, and the sturdy armor was powerless against the speed-boosted cavalry.
The army of Kalad was defeated and bled in blood.
The Sultan of Salander pursued the Sultan of Salander from the edge of the desert to the city of Sharez.
Sharitz's defenders were also taken aback by the forces of the Salander Sultanate and closed the gates without even thinking about it.
"No, we haven't gone in yet! Open the door! "No matter how much the Karad soldiers outside pleaded, the city of Sharez just wouldn't open the door. They couldn't see it outside the city, but the soldiers inside the city could see it, the boundless Sultanate soldiers of Sarah! At least a hundred thousand people!
The soldiers defending the city trembled with fear, watching their allies slaughtered by the Sultanate forces of Sarah outside the city.
The soldiers of the Sultanate of Salander began to build siege equipment and fortifications, and it was estimated that the siege would soon be carried out. Now the defenders inside the city are less than 20,000, and there are at least 100,000 troops outside the city, and the situation is dangerous......
Karad's soldiers were nervous, injecting the speed at which siege engines were being built outside the city. But he didn't notice that in the city, in the slave market, there were countless slaves who killed the slave owners, seized weapons, and prepared to storm the arsenal. They were slaves, but they were no ordinary slaves, they were the battle slaves of Salander, the Mamluks!
