Chapter 220: The Persian Gulf War
For example, a soldier surnamed Liu personally told me that his ancestors had more than 50 emperors.
Another sailor, surnamed Chen, told the story of his family's six imperial prime ministers in a hundred years.
It's just that there is another point that makes me even more strange, that is, these ordinary soldiers and sailors of the Ming army boasted to their ancestors to the best of their ability.
However, the emperor who ruled the entire Ming Empire, that is, the elder brother of the prince of the Ming Dynasty, said in an edict to his subjects that his ancestors were only diligent farmers.
Today is another day that confuses me, and the beliefs of these Orientals do not seem to be so simple."
"The Acts of Lorredan, Day 9.
I didn't talk to the crew and sailors today, because we were about to arrive in India, the destination of this time, and everyone was preparing for landing, and I heard that there would be a war with another powerful kingdom after going ashore, but except for me, who was more nervous, everyone else looked very calm, how strong is the military strength of these Orientals, so that they can maintain such a calm attitude, I am nervous and at the same time a little eager to see the power of this Eastern Empire!"
Persia, the black city of Bayer on the southern coast.
It has been three months since Tang He led the army of the Ming Dynasty to arrive here.
They occupied an island here in Persia, and after a period of construction, the island had become a strong fortress.
And because the Ming army helped the Persians here, resisted the enemy's attack, the Ming army was warmly supported by the local Persians, and the supply of various grains and meat was continuously sent to the army.
However, Tang He, as a high-ranking general of the Ming Dynasty, naturally would not indulge in such low-level pleasures.
Tang He calculated the time, their fleet had been on the expedition for more than a year, and according to Zhu Han's plan, it was time to return to Daming in the direction of the current.
Before leaving Persia, though, Tang He had one more important thing to do.
That is, it was necessary to bring back some local products of Persia, such as slaves.
Persian merchants possessed great communication skills, and were able to do business in countries of the same religion and pagan countries.
So Tang He was able to procure slaves from almost every country here.
"You must bring at least 3,000 female slaves with you when you go back this time, otherwise you will be sorry for the cheap slave prices here."
Tang He instructed his procurement officer, Malu Ali, to say.
Tang He's orders were quickly carried out, and a large number of female slaves were loaded onto the ships.
These female slaves are all from different countries, and even some are from different nationalities, but they are all beautiful and healthy goods, each of them can be sold for a good price, of course, Tang He will never let his subordinates take the things of the Persian slave traders for nothing, a piece of Ming porcelain can be exchanged for two high-class white slaves.
Tang He looked at the pile of beautiful female slaves in front of him, and sighed in his heart: "Just for these women, the Ming soldiers should also be grateful to His Royal Highness!"
With so many female slaves bought back, Zhu Han naturally wanted to distribute them to the Ming soldiers for use at night, and if he didn't solve the physical problems of the teachers, how could he make them wholeheartedly loyal and patriotic.
Tang He thought about the performance of those Fanbang female slaves on the bed, and couldn't help but swallow his saliva.
During this period of time in Persia, Tang He enjoyed the local Persian slave girls, as the so-called ring fat swallow thin, each with its own subtleties, all of which made the Tang He experience incisive.
However, compared with the female slaves of Persia and the women of the Ming Dynasty, Tang He prefers the women of the Ming Dynasty, not only because the women of the Ming Dynasty are beautiful, but also because the women of the Ming Dynasty are more gentle and virtuous, and they know how to please men.
Unlike the Persian women, although beautiful, most of them were barbaric and vulgar, especially those Slavic female slaves who were of good appearance and figure, all kinds of barbarism
's habits and manners made Tang He often punish them tyrannically, but those Slavic female slaves lacked the domineering that they enjoyed Tang He.
This one had just woken up from bed, and the three Slavic female slaves next to him were still asleep after the punishment of the previous night.
As soon as Tang He walked out of the room, there was a report from the guards outside.
"Marshal Qiqi, Abbas, the lord of the Black City of Baier, has sent someone to report that Ayubuz has made a comeback, leading tens of thousands of troops to the Black City of Baier!"
"What?"
Tang He was quite surprised by the news.
Abbas, the lord of the city of Bairhey in Persia, has sworn allegiance to the Ming Dynasty and has become the first city-state under the Persian Protectorate of the Ming Dynasty.
Not long ago, another great Persian warlord, Ayubuz, attacked the city of Baierhei, but was easily repelled by the Ming army led by Tang He.
Who would have thought that it hadn't been long since Ayubuz dared to make a comeback, it seems that the last time the Ming army killed him did not break his bones.
I have to say that Ayubuz is indeed one of the most powerful warlord forces here in Persia.
As a city-state under the protection of the Daimyo Persian Protectorate, Baierhei naturally could not be annexed by Ayubuz.
Tang He immediately ordered to go to Baierhei, and the lord of the city, Abbas, and others gathered over and discussed with everyone the strategy of dealing with Ayubuz.
Tang He felt that he had to give Ayubuz a memorable defeat in order to cut off his ambitions for Bayer.
"Ladies and gentlemen, our chance has come, Ayubuz has the audacity to provoke again, and this time we will definitely thwart his arrogance." Soup and slap eucalyptus angry drink.
"May I ask the marshal, how are we going to fight to defeat Ayubuz?" Abbas asked respectfully.
Tang He was already confident: "I think that since Ayubuz dares to come this time, he must have eaten us."
"Yes, what the marshal said is right, after Ayubuz was defeated last time, he probably also knew our strength, so he will attack this time."
The last time the Ming army defeated Ayubuz, they used their excellent combat effectiveness and weapons, but also exposed the disadvantage of their own army's small numbers.
Everyone echoed Tang He's point of view.
Tang He continued: "This time, we will come to a deception, lure Ayubuz's army in, and then wait for work, teach him a hard lesson, and tell him how good we are."
"Marshal Takami." The crowd said.
Tang He sneered and said, "This time I am going to fight in person, and you will all stay in the Black City of Baier, ready to be dispatched by me."
When everyone heard this, they immediately gasped, you must know that Tang He is the Marshal of Zhenyuan of the Ming Dynasty, once he leaves Baier Black City, it will be very dangerous on the battlefield.
However, they all knew that this war was related to the stability of the entire Ming Dynasty, and it was impossible for Tang He to avoid participating in it.
…………
In the sky covered by yellow sand, an army of tens of thousands of people is advancing on the land.
Ayubuz led a large army to the city of Bair, his face was cloudy, this time he made up his mind, he must capture the city of Bair, and then expel the group of easterners, and then he can completely occupy the whole of Persia.
"Soldiers, the city of Bairhei is the gateway to Persia, and if it is lost, most of the Persian territory will fall into the hands of Agudammu and the aliens. So the Black City of Bair is a place we must retake. Ayubuz yelled.
"Conquer the black city of Bair, kill all those Easterners, and let Persia submit to the glory of *** forever."
Ayubuz's words immediately detonated all the Persian soldiers, and under Ayubuz's call, countless Persian soldiers began to shout frantically, as if they had won, and kept boosting their morale.
"Haha, the Daming dog thieves are all dead, this time see if any of you can stop me." Ayubuz looked up to the sky and laughed.
His army totaled 50,000, half of which was cavalry and half infantry.
Ayubuz
The cavalry was the most elite cavalry in Persia, and his cavalry numbered 30,000 men in total, and each of these 30,000 cavalry was equipped with an average of one pack horse, which was extremely well-equipped.
The infantry, on the other hand, generally used bows and arrows, and their equipment was extremely poor, and they did not even have ordinary foot armor.
Compared to the Persian cavalry, the Persian infantry was almost like a beggar.
The gap between the Persian cavalry and the Persian infantry in terms of equipment is very large, and the two sides are not at the same level at all.
Ayubuz's army, under Ayubuz's command, swept like a torrent towards the city of Bair.
At this moment, in the black city of Baier, in the barracks of the Ming army, the soldiers of the Ming army are also enthusiastic, they are looking forward to this battle, hoping to win this battle this time.
After detecting the movements of Ayubuz's army, Tang He immediately led less than 3,000 Ming cavalry to take the initiative to attack, preparing to use himself as a bait to lure Ayubuz's army into pursuit, and then enter the encirclement of the Ming army.
Outside the Black City of Baier, Ayubuz's army was advancing mightily, Ayubuz was sitting on horseback, his face was full of excitement, this time he had done his homework, knowing that the Ming army's defense in the Black City of Baier was very weak, and he only needed to be careful this time, and he could easily capture the Black City of Baier.
Ayubuz was even imagining how he would torture the Persians after he took the city of Bair.
Suddenly, Ayubuz saw dust flying in the distance, and he immediately shouted, "Enemy attack!"
As soon as Ayubuz gave the order, countless soldiers immediately stood on alert, clenched the scimitars in their hands, and waited for them.
Soon, Tang He led more than 2,000 Ming cavalry to charge and rushed into Ayubuz's army under his terrified gaze.
Ayu somehow never thought that the Ming army, which was absolutely inferior in numbers, would dare to take the initiative to meet him.
"Ahh Screams, fights, and cries for help resounded in the sky.
In just a few moments, Ayubuz's army suffered heavy losses.
Ayubuz's eyes instantly turned red, and he roared angrily, "Bastard, kill! Kill them for me, kill them for me!"
However, the more than 2,000 Ming troops led by Tang He were not afraid at all, but became more and more brave the more they fought, pushing all the way over.
The infantry casualties of the Ayubuz army were getting heavier and heavier, and they gradually became unable to resist.
Seeing this, Ayubuz immediately sent his elite cavalry to attack the Ming army led by Tang He.
Five thousand Persian cavalry let out a tsunami-like cry and charged at the Ming army.
"Shoot the arrows!" Tang He shouted.
Whoosh ......
A dense stream of feathered arrows was fired at the onrushing Persian cavalry, which was caught off guard and was shot one piece.
"Rush me!"
Tang He roared, and more than 2,000 Ming troops immediately followed Tang He and sprinted together.
The cavalry on both sides soon clashed together, and the cavalry on both sides slashed at each other, blood spilling into the sky.
Seeing this, Ayubuz immediately ordered his infantry to join in.
Under his order, nearly 10,000 infantry immediately joined the ranks of the cavalry, and then formed a dense shield wall, forming a long dragon, and slowly advanced forward.
Seeing this, Tang He snorted coldly: "It's really despicable, and he actually used infantry to delay us."
The combat effectiveness of the Persian cavalry was still very good, and they did not lag too far behind in the process of fighting with the Ming army.
If the shield wall of the Persian infantry is entangled again, the Ming cavalry led by Tang He will not be able to leave if they want to.
"Musket, fire!"
Tang He immediately ordered his cavalry to use muskets to bombard the approaching Persian cavalry.
These muskets of the Ming army are all improved versions of flintlock muskets, although they are troublesome to load, especially for cavalry, they can often only be used once and can not be reloaded, but the power of these flintlock muskets is huge, even the thick armor can not stop the projectiles fired.
Bang bang bang!
After the sound of a dense musket, the Persian cavalry fell in an instant.
"Charge, charge,
Destroy the enemy! The Persian cavalry shouted.
However, the Ming cavalry had already prepared, and they quickly retreated, taking advantage of their agility to evade the bow and arrow attacks of the Persian cavalry.
Tang He led the cavalry of the Ming army to fight and retreat, using bows and arrows and muskets in his hands to shoot all the Persian cavalry who dared to approach.
After a few rounds, the Persian cavalry suffered heavy losses, and Ayubuz could no longer hold back the anger in his patience and immediately ordered the whole army to pursue.
Seeing that the plan to provoke the enemy had succeeded, Tang He immediately ordered a final attack on the Persian cavalry, and after a little contact with the opponent, the Ming army immediately made a defeat.
The Ming army, which was about to run away if it got cheap, made the Persian cavalry under Ayubuz already mad, how could it be easy to let the Ming army retreat, they immediately pursued in the direction of Huhaihai's retreat.
Tang He was overjoyed to see that the enemy had been deceived.
"Brothers, work hard, rush out, and we'll be safe."
"Drive!"
Tang and horses galloped, and took the lead in rushing out with the cavalry under his command to continue to escape.
Ayubuz's cavalry was desperately chasing behind, but after all, the Persian cavalry was basically heavy cavalry in armor, and even if they rode high-headed horses, they still couldn't easily catch up with the Ming cavalry.
Unconsciously, under the lure of Tang He, the Persian army led by Ayubuz gradually lost its formation and queue, and they ran behind Tang He's ass like a swarm of bees.
However, the distance between the two sides is indeed getting closer.
Ayubuz saw that he was about to catch up with those hateful Ming troops, and his heart was immediately overjoyed.
"Hahahaha......" Ayubuz laughed wildly.
However, at this moment, Ayubuz felt the war horse under his crotch slam to the ground, and Ayubuz stumbled and almost fell.
After Ayubuz stabilized his body, Dingqing looked at it and was taken aback, he found that the army he led had entered a huge valley, the Ming army in front of him had disappeared, and the surrounding hillsides resounded with shouts of killing.
It was these shouts that frightened Ayubuz's horses.
His Persian troops were equally shocked by the sight, and many realized that they had fallen into an ambush by the Ming army.
