Chapter 350: Angry Saladin

The last trace of the remnant sun's afterglow was bloody, shining on the battlefield outside Shuangyang Town, making the land even more tragic. "Words, feelings, first, http://www.Klxsw.com

The shouts of killing finally became sparse, and the battle came to an end as the Guards' camp collapsed across all fronts.

Soldiers from the two garrison brigades began to clean up the battlefield, treat the wounded and sick, and eliminate the remaining enemies who refused to surrender. The cavalry scattered and pursued the Guards soldiers who had broken through the chaos and fled in all directions by taking advantage of the darkness of the night. There may be a small number of fish that slip through the net, but the main force of this Guards brigade has been completely wiped out.

Yan Dongxing inhaled cold air to treat the wound while waiting for the preliminary results statistics.

This battle was indeed the most difficult battle since the establishment of the Songjiang cavalry, and the casualties on their own side were only extremely staggering.

As the night deepened, the moans of the wounded and sick outside gradually became quieter, and many doctors accompanying the army had already treated their wounds preliminarily. The seriously wounded soldiers were also organized to be carried back. Around this moment, the generals of the Matsue Army received specific figures for this battle.

The first was the Guards brigade of the Omanis.

In addition to about a few hundred men who broke through the siege, more than 1,500 were killed on the spot, and about the same number of soldiers were forced to surrender, either out of exhaustion, out of despair, or out of wounded.

Identified by several Guards soldiers, the soldiers of the Songjiang Army who were in charge of cleaning up the battlefield also found the bodies of General Musha and the commander of the Le Van Hungh Brigade.

I have to say that these are two very important results.

However, in order to completely annihilate this elite army that landed across the sea, the Songjiang Army itself suffered extremely heavy sacrifices. Although the two garrison brigades held out to the end. But more than two thousand people were killed on the spot. In the days that followed, I was afraid that hundreds more would die due to serious injuries or infections. The cavalry group of the Matsue Army. More than eight hundred horsemen were also sacrificed. It is worth mentioning that a large part of them were killed and wounded by the raids of Omani crossbowmen.

Attacking a force that was already at the end of its rope with a combination of three times the strength of the troops, and still paying such sacrifices in the end, it is conceivable that the strength of the Omani Guards was strong.

However, the Matsue Army won after all!

Under the fortress of Nanfeng, the Songjiang army relied on the Xiongguan defense line and repelled the attack of the Omanis was nothing. This time. The Songjiang Army annihilated a brigade in a dignified manner in the field. Even with all the advantages, it is still an exciting and brilliant victory.

How many Omani guards are there in total?

Unlike the Imperial Praetorian Guards and City Guards, who often had hundreds of thousands, the ace of the Omani Guards was only six or seven ace divisions that could really be called the main force. They are all old people who followed Saladin to fight in the south and the north, and successively annexed the Hue Dynasty and the South Thai Kingdom. In the previous First Tiannan War, the First Division had already been defeated. In the Second Tiannan War, the Chunshan section of the Songjiang Army's defensive line was stormed, and the Second Division was severely damaged; Now simply annihilate a brigade of 4,000 people in the rear!

It can be said that the old foundation of the Omani Guards has almost been consumed in half of the two wars!

Even if the 1st Guards Division has been rebuilt. Now the defeated troops can also be recruited and replenished after the war, but the combat effectiveness of the troops will inevitably be reduced a lot. It's no longer the heyday it used to be.

As the news of the total annihilation of the enemy army came from the rear, the troops of the Songjiang Army on the front line of the Nanfeng Fortress could not help but be greatly inspired.

Although Chen Wu had expected this result, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of surprise when he confirmed it. The sudden insertion of four thousand guards into Ninghai County still put a lot of pressure on him. However, now that everything is over, the Omani scheme has been completely crushed. Moreover, after this great defeat, the Omanis will firmly adhere to their previous continentalism and label this attempt by sea as a failure and undesirable.

One less country competing with him on the ocean is undoubtedly what Chen Wu is happy to see.

"Tell me to go down, wait for the bodies of Musha and Li Wenhun to be transported and hung on the wall of the South Peak Fortress, so that the Omanis can take a good look at the fate of those who dare to attack the kingdom!"

………

Just five days later, the two bodies that had undergone preliminary embalming were transported by carriage to the South Peak Fortress and hung on the city wall outside the Spring Mountain section.

After such a period of attack, the outer wall of the Chunshan section of the defense line was already full of mottled marks left by boulders, which looked very terrifying. However, under the countermeasures of the Songjiang military city defense weapons, the Omani counterweight stone throwers could not concentrate on attacking from the beginning. It seems that the walls are full of stone smashing marks, but in fact they disperse the power. Coupled with the fact that the Omanis have been attacking significantly less aggressively lately, it is still far from completely destroying this impregnable defence.

In this case, two corpses hung on the city wall, breaking the peace in an instant.

At first, the Omanis did not recognize the true identities of the two corpses, let alone why the Songjiang people had hung up the two of them. If it is to humiliate and provoke oneself, it doesn't make sense. Eventually, it was a general of the Guards who came here and inadvertently identified the deceased from the already slightly deformed head.

"It was Musha, who commanded the landing force of Operation Black Sword...... The other one? Sure enough, it was Li Wenhu! ”

The identities of the two deceased were determined one by one, and the generals of the Guards were shocked. The general of the unified army who was responsible for landing in the enemy's hinterland by sea was all killed, no matter how you think about it, it means that the 4,000 elite guards have been wiped out, right? That's big news!

Ignoring anything else, he immediately rushed back to the main position on the side of the Yushan Battlement and reported the news.

It was only a little later than him, and the Black Guards also confirmed the information. When the news spread, the upper echelons of the Omani army were in an uproar.

The generals, who were already opposed to taking the sea route, immediately used this as an excuse to attack Wei Chiming, vice president of the Executive Yuan, who strongly advocated the landing plan. Some people even made a fuss about his identity as an imperial person, and the story was re-mentioned, attacking him for deliberately inducing the elite of the Omanis to die. Other neutral or pro-plan civilian and military officials were anxious to find out what was really going on with the troops. Even if it is really defeated, we must try to find out how it was defeated and where the soldiers and horses of the Songjiang Army were transferred from.

For a time, the whole military tent was as noisy as a busy city, and because Saladin did not come at the first time, it almost developed to the point of inextricability.

"Shut up! The place of the big tent, noisy and noisy, what kind of system! ”

Saladin walked in with a pale face, and there was obviously suppressed anger in his voice, which immediately made all the civil and military officials shut up. Everyone knows that this majesty is at the moment of anger, and no one wants to touch his moldy head at this time.

"Why don't you speak? Keep arguing? ”

Saladin's tone was cynical, and he looked around at his confidants and ministers who had consciously divided into two factions, and his mood was extremely bad. In the end, he still looked at Wei Chiming, who was frowning and silently in the crowd, and said, "Yu Chi Aiqing, tell me, what's going on?" ”

Hearing that he was named, Wei Chiming knew that he could not escape this catastrophe. sighed, secretly looked at the well-intentioned or gloating eyes cast around him, stepped out of the ranks, and saluted: "The minister already knows about the fiasco, and he has nothing to say about it." ”

He really didn't have much to say.

No matter how you analyze it, it is a sure win, but it ends up with a big defeat. Before the details were clarified, Wei Chiming couldn't figure out what was going on.

"What a sentence to say!"

Saladin snorted coldly, his face becoming more and more ugly. Just four words, he buried 4,000 elites, and he also attached a general. Not only that, but in order to transport these soldiers to land, the Kingdom of Oman promised the Andamanese a large amount of wealth. Although the follow-up dividends do not have to be paid due to war preparations, the five million gold coins alone are enough to make him feel pain.

This defeat is definitely a nerve-wracking level for the Kingdom of Oman!

If it were a different person, Saladin would probably have to be severely punished, but Wei Chiming has worked very hard over the years and has made a lot of contributions. At the same time, the other party is a defector from the empire, if the other party is taken out because of a mistake, it will inevitably be unfavorable to enter the empire in the future and recruit imperial talents for his own use.

After considering it, although he was very angry in his heart, he still adopted the method of thundering loudly and raining little, and reprimanded him, but only gave a small punishment of punishment and demotion to a knighthood - not even the official position changed.

This is enough for other civil and military officials to recognize that Wei Chiming's holy family is still there!

Many officials wanted to attack and take him away, but they immediately faded a lot.

The news of Ninghai County has not been blocked for too long. With the black guard's inquiry, he finally figured out what happened. First, the Nanyang Naval Division did not provide protection, and left immediately after putting down the landing force, and had no intention of fighting the Ninghai Division at all. On the first day, the troops who led the landing were blocked on the seashore and turned into a lone army. The second is that the Songjiang Army seems to have prepared in advance!

Not only did he immediately kill the pirate cannon fodder of Operation Black Sword, but he also mobilized a cavalry brigade in advance!

These 4,000 cavalry were the key to the defeat of the Guards Brigade and Regiment. Since the landing, he has not been able to spread his hands and feet, and he has been watched by death.

"Could it be?"

Wei Chiming was the smartest person, and he quickly guessed the truth, and the Songjiang army was also playing the same idea, wanting to land in the rear of the Omani army. It's just that the date of the operation was a little late, and as soon as the guide troops gathered at the port, they happened to bump into their own landing infantry.

However, it is too late to say this.

The burial of 4,000 ace troops has made the sea route taboo in the army, and it is an out-and-out failure option. In this case, the enemy was able to take precautions in advance and transferred troops to wait, which could only be one reason - someone at the top of the Omani army leaked secrets!

In fact, Saladin and the Black Guard had a similar feeling before this, and also carried out a large-scale purge, but they didn't find much - now it seems that the intensity of the last time was not strict enough!

While sending an envoy to protest to the Andaman city-state, the black-clothed guards, who thought they had figured out the reason, began a vigorous investigation again. This time, the scale has expanded several times compared with before, and the turmoil has involved the entire military and political system. (To be continued.) )
