485 The first meeting between Tang Ping and Amru
"What the hell is going on? You give me 1510 to make it clear! ”
Outside the city of Ratan, Amr looked at the returning lieutenant general Jafar with a grim face.
I have led my troops to fight for many years, and I have never encountered such a situation.
The other side is full of only a few thousand soldiers, and the rest are ordinary people.
But Jafar pursued with his 50,000 elites, and now not only did he not chase people back, but also suffered thousands of casualties.
As the main general, Jafar was even killed by others in his own army.
This can even be said to be the biggest defeat since he sent troops to Tianzhu.
Amr wasn't one who couldn't accept defeat, but he had to know how to lose.
"Yes!" Jafar's lieutenant began to honestly recount the process of the pursuit to Amr.
"You say they can blow up mountains? And a black tube, even more powerful than a crossbow? And a black stone that will explode if thrown out? Even Jafar was killed from afar by a black pipe? ”
Amr listened to it as if he had heard a myth.
"Yes!" Adjutant Jafar was still very meticulous in his work, and asked people to bring in a few corpses.
"Lord Commander, these are the ones who died from that kind of black pipe, and we found that their wounds were all these little iron beads."
Amr took a few projectiles from his hand and examined them carefully.
The small black iron pellet, a little bigger than a soybean, was stained with blood, and Amr was very skeptical that such a thing would kill his elite warriors.
But the corpse in front of him did not lie, and he even used a dagger to pull out a projectile from a corpse.
This projectile even pierced the armor of the deceased, so it was completely deformed inside the corpse.
Throwing the projectile aside, he walked over to another corpse.
This is a death from the bombardment of a native grenade.
The cause of death is supposed to be a piece of shrapnel stuck in a major artery in the throat.
Amr pulled out the bloodshot shrapnel, but it was nothing more than a rough piece of iron.
It was nothing compared to their sophisticated Damascus knives, but such pieces of iron were terrifying and unusual to the mouths of those who returned.
It is said that when
The explosion wiped out more than 200 of his soldiers in an instant, and hundreds of others were injured to varying degrees.
Amr threw it with his hand, and the shrapnel hit the stake, and then bounced back, and with his strength, it only left a scratch on the stake.
The last body was Jafar's, with a piercing hole from the front chest to the back.
Someone lifted Jafar's body up, and even the light behind him could be seen through his body.
"Where's what pierced him?" Amr asked.
"Didn't find it." The adjutant shook his head, and didn't dare to say that he was just running away at that time: "The person on the other side lifted a black pipe to General Jafar, and then he saw General Jafar fall down with blood in his chest, and then he heard a loud voice from the other side. ”
He didn't know the concept of hypersound, but he described it accurately.
"As for what passed through General Jafar, we don't know."
Amr put Jafar's body down and was silent for a long time.
Adjutant generals and returning soldiers don't lie, and even less so these corpses.
So his warriors met an enemy they had never seen before, a very powerful enemy.
Either way, it's a weapon beyond his imagination.
"All cavalry, go!"
Amr made up his mind, stood up suddenly, pointed to the map in the big tent and said, "Go here and pursue!" ”
He was referring to the Oolong River, and as the commander of the Arab Empire, he knew very well that those people were going to retreat, and they must retreat to the other side of the river.
There are no bridges on the Oolong River, and there are not enough ferries, and there are more than 20,000 people in total, and it is not so easy to cross the river.
He knew that while they were few, if he could get the secrets of those weapons, the Arab Empire would be even stronger.
The Khorasan Cavalry, the most elite cavalry regiment of the Arab Empire, charged towards the Oolong River.
Amr also changed into ordinary cavalry armor, because Jafar's death let him know that he must not be exposed, otherwise the fate is likely to be the same as Jafar.
"Lord Commander, there are boats in the Oolong River, and they are all very big!"
The scout sent out to report to the front made Amr frown.
Think about what Adjutant Jafar said, the resistance of the mine at the beginning
And the strange enemy that suddenly appeared later, Amr understood.
Those reinforcements must have come by boat from the Oolong River.
"How many?"
"There are four ships, very large, only a little smaller than our Arabian giants."
The Arab Empire occupied the southern shore of the Mediterranean, and shipbuilding technology was quite developed.
Since the other party has a big ship, it means that there are a lot of people who come, and without knowing how many strange weapons the other party has, Amru can only give up.
"Send a team of 100 to test it."
It is difficult for their own people to threaten the battleships in the river, and they do not yet have the ability to fight naval battles here.
Amr was very decisive, since he didn't have a chance, then he couldn't give the enemy a chance, and the hundred people sent out were not even Khorasan cavalry, but ordinary slave troops.
After the Datang South China Sea Fleet came to the Wulong River, the boats that could enter the inland river had already picked up all the people.
Only Tang Ping waited at the Oolong River with four medium gunboats, just to wait for the pursuing Arab army.
As a result, I didn't expect that the other party only came with so many hundred people, and through the telescope, I knew that it was not elite.
The Arab slave armies were wielding scimitars on the shore and shouting yo-yo-yo.
"It seems that the commander on the other side is also a cautious person." Tang Ping said with some regret: "Lean over slowly." ”
These slave armies didn't know the combat effectiveness of the Tang Dynasty, and they thought that the Arab army was invincible in the world, so when the four gunboats approached, they only raised their shields and prepared to resist the attack of bows.
But what I didn't expect was that it was not the archers who appeared on the side of the ship on the opposite side, but the musketeers.
Crackling four ships rushed past in a row, although the hit rate was not high, but the distance of tens of meters, plus the number of people shooting.
Most of the slave army on the opposite side were killed and wounded at once, and the others tried to run, but the horses under their seats were frightened, and some began to run away, some jumped in place, and some even went into the river.
Then another volley of guns passed, and in addition to a few people who had run away, a body fell by the river.
Tang Ping took people off the boat, took a look at them, and then asked his system: "Can you teach me a few Arabic characters?" ”
"No problem, just use a little time energy."
