Chapter 562: Outbreak on All Fronts
Just when the Black Sheep Legion was attacking, the Aries Legion on the southern front also moved.
Historically, both the Black Sheep and the White Aries dynasty were descended from the ancient Turkmen people, but they were hostile to each other.
During the period of the Ilkhanate, the Sultanate of Rum was dismembered by the Ilkhanate, and the Turkmen lost their power and became cannon fodder for the Ilkhanate, and the Black Sheep tribe was the cannon fodder in the cannon fodder.
However, after a long period of cannon fodder, the Black Aries became extremely belligerent, began to plunder pilgrims, and took advantage of the war between the Timurid Khanate and the Ilkhanate to expand their territory.
Eventually, with the dissolution of the Ilkhanate, a large number of territories were taken over by the Black Sheep people, and from then on, the appetite of the Black Sheep tribe became greater and greater, and they began to fight with the Timurid Khanate.
The Aries tribe, on the other hand, started by kneeling and licking Timur.
Relying on Timur's reward, the Aries established their own regime and became the pawns of the Timurid Khanate, constantly waging wars against the Ottoman Empire and the Black Sheep tribe, and won and lost each other for many years.
Tehran City is located between the major forces, and it is also a battlefield where many forces clash, and no one actually controls it, and now a group of Orientals suddenly appears, and then declares themselves to be the masters here, how is it possible?
What I can't get, I certainly can't let you get.
Even if Tehran is razed to the ground, it will not be possible to give it to the Easterners.
Compared with the Black Sheep tribe pouring out, the White Sheep tribe was still more conservative and only mobilized more than 20,000 people.
This is because the Aries tribe and the Timurid Khanate are in an alliance, and there is a Mongol army on the Western Front, and the Ming army is only a few thousand, and it cannot withstand the joint attack of the three forces in any case.
Before the attack, the Aries were even ready to completely occupy Tehran, and it was better to take advantage of this excellent opportunity to eliminate the Black Sheep in one fell swoop.
At the time of the offensive of the Timurid army, the first wave of the Aries army also began.
The southern front was hilly and not suitable for a large-scale army group charge, and the Aries soldiers were divided into three lines, attacking head-on in the middle and outflanking on both sides.
When the attack began, it was found that the mountain roads on both sides were all blocked by falling rocks and were impassable.
The only road to Tehran was the gap in the middle, and as a last resort, the flanks began to shrink and all forces were concentrated on the front.
Who knows, all this fell into the plan of the Ming army.
Two heavy machine guns, three small steel cannons, lying quietly on the position, like a poisonous snake lurking in a hole, waiting for the arrival of its prey.
The battle on the Northern Front has already begun, and judging by the sound of gunfire, the battle is fierce.
The Aries Legion was even more impatient, although they were very willing to let the Black Sheep go up to consume, but at the same time, they were also worried that the Ming army's position would be captured, and at that time, they would be passive.
The narrow gap in the col could only accommodate about thirty people charging side by side, making the formation of the Aries Legion very dense, and there was no room for movement between each soldier, pouring over like a tide.
In the blink of an eye, it was within 100 steps.
Sun Jixian stood on the position, looked at the menacing Aries army, and gave a decisive order.
"Fire!"
Rumble!
Rumble!
Rumble!
Mortars were the first to fire, followed by a dense burst of gunfire.
Sudden ......
Two heavy machine guns spat out tongues of fire and frantically poured rifled bullets.
The soldiers who rushed to the front row fell down in response, and the back row did not understand the situation and found that they had become the front row.
They clearly saw two fire-breathing monsters, and then ...... There is no then.
The Aries soldiers kept falling, and because the formation was too bloated, even if they wanted to retreat, they were all surrounded by people.
It was the first time they had seen such a terrifying war machine, and they had no defenses at all, it was like harvesting wheat, stubble after stubble, and their lives were harvested.
On a high ground in the rear, the Aries Commander Emir watched the speed at which his soldiers fell, and his heart was cold.
At this moment, he suddenly understood why the Black Sheep Legion had lost the first battle.
When I received the news before, it was said that more than 2,000 people in the Black Sheep Army were almost wiped out by others, which always felt untrue, and it seemed that the rumors deliberately spread by the Ming army in order to establish their authority.
Today it can be understood that the Ming army did not exaggerate at all, and even conservatively.
This kind of firepower is not to mention that it is easy to destroy 2,000 people, even if it is 20,000, it is just a matter of time.
"Withdraw!"
The emir did not dare to hesitate and decisively gave the order to retreat.
It's horrible!
This is a power that surpasses the ghosts and gods, so that people do not have any desire to resist at all, and even if Satan comes, they will be beaten into a hole.
If we don't withdraw, there won't be a single one of the 30,000 left.
The back formation turned into the front formation, surging like a tide, and then receding like a tide, leaving only a corpse on the ground.
The mortally wounded, immobile soldiers cried loudly for their companions to take them with them, but no one paid any attention.
At this moment, there is only one thought in everyone's minds now, and that is to run!
On the position of the Ming army, the heavy machine guns are still roaring, the mortars are still roaring, and the Aries Legion keeps people falling, crying one by one and crying for their mother, only hating their father and mother for having two legs missing.
Sun Jixian shouted: "Charge!" ”
The Ming troops on the position received the order, and one by one they rushed out of the trench with their rifles.
Emir could never have imagined that the other party would dare to launch a counter-charge!
However, the defeat of the army was like a mountain, and even a temporary change of order would have no effect.
Now, there is no other choice, run!
Run as fast as you can, run as far as you can!
More than 20,000 Aries soldiers ran in front, and seven or eight hundred Ming soldiers chased behind, just like a hungry wolf chasing a flock of sheep, biting one to death from time to time, not eating, throwing it down and continuing to chase, biting to death again, and chasing again......
The people in front of them ran wildly, I don't know how long they ran, and when they dared to look back, they found that the Ming army had not caught up.
"The Ming army withdrew, withdrew ......"
Someone shouted, and the others stopped.
The tense nerves finally relaxed, and everyone collapsed to the ground, gasping for breath, and at this time there was only one thought left in their hearts, the feeling of being alive...... That's nice!
The emir was foaming at the mouth of the war horse under the seat, and he lay on the ground and did not leave.
In desperation, he had to dismount and look around, as if he had run five miles away.
After resting, the troops were regrouped, only to find that less than 20,000 of the 30,000 troops remained, and most of them were wounded.
Looking back, there is still a roar coming from the direction of Tehran City, and the fighting continues, but it is not known whether it is the northern front or the eastern front.
Forget it, love whoever you want, we're definitely not going to fight anyway.
Go back and hurry to draw up a reconciliation, as for the Timurid Khanate......
If you can hug the thigh of Daming, the Timurid Khanate will be a ball!
