Chapter 896 Invincible Desert
"Online Game Lord of the People ()"
In the desert, Chu Tian held his bleeding right arm. He hadn't been injured for a long time.
Now Chutian's status in the Han Empire is equivalent to the uncrowned king.
But this time in the battle in the desert, Chu Tian fought in person and was wounded by the camel cavalry's Damascus knife.
Khaled, the number one general of the Arab Empire, is in the desert with the same strength and almost invincible. He has a lot of terrain bonuses, as well as famous general bonuses, faith bonuses, and weather bonuses.
Especially taking advantage of the sandstorm to launch an offensive, the various abilities of the cavalry of the Han army declined due to the sandstorm, and the troops were defeated by the camel cavalry of the Arab Empire.
In order to attract the 100,000 Arab Empire troops, Chutian fought and left.
Since he has been winning all the time, this time in the desert terrain, Chutian suffered defeat for the first time.
"You can't compete with Arabs in the desert, you can't fight Muscovites in winter..."
Chutian fled into the depths of the desert, and Joan of Arc was bandaging Chutian's wound.
During the battle in the desert, the 20,000 light cavalry of the Han army who were in charge of breaking the rear were divided into two parts by Khalid, the sword of Allah, with the help of sandstorms. Chu Tian, Xiao Chuo, Xue Rengui, Yang Dayan, Hua Mulan, and Joan of Arc were separated. Tian, Joan of Arc, and Yang Dayan became one group of soldiers, while Hua Mulan, Xue Rengui, and Xiao Chuo became another group of soldiers.
This is a defeat that Chutian has rarely experienced in recent years.
"We have less than three thousand soldiers along the way."
Yang Dayan was counting the soldiers and horses. Since the 20,000 Han cavalry were defeated and scattered, there were less than 3,000 cavalry following Chu Tian.
In order to protect Chutian, Yang Dayan retreated, and was cut with a wound by the camel cavalry's scimitar.
The lord of the Arab Empire equipped his camel cavalry regiment with Damascus knives and other weapons to enhance the lethality of the camel cavalry. At the same time, the camel cavalry came and went like wind in the desert and were not very affected by sandstorms.
"The Arab player Umayyad is said to have recently unified the various tribes in the Arabian Peninsula and conquered the chiefs of each tribe. From this point of view, the Arabian Empire is truly invincible in the desert..."
Chutian could feel the pain coming from his right arm.
Before participating in the fifth national war, Chutian specially asked people to collect information about the lords of various civilizations.
The overlords of various civilizations are trying to unify their empires or conquer nearby civilizations.
The Arabian Peninsula is unified, and the Arab Empire is on the rise. No one can defeat the Arab Empire in the desert.
The conquest of the desert would not be possible without the use of far more troops than the Arab Empire.
Chu Tian was able to withdraw because Joan of Arc used the ability to drive the legion into frenzy and improve morale at a critical moment, and once repelled Khalid's attack, the Han army fled in two ways.
In any case, the loss of Wanqi in battle is considered a defeat.
"We're stalling for time. Wu Qi and the others should be relatively safe. As long as they capture a city, they can make a comeback."
Chu Tian didn't care about failure, at least his goal had been achieved.
In addition, in the battle between the desert and Khalid, the Han army gained 10,000 military exploits.
"Use the war eagle to contact other generals."
Chutian, Hua Mulan, and Wu Qi were lost, and the Han army was divided into three groups. Among them, Chutian and Hua Mulan had only a few thousand remnants of light cavalry, and Wu Qi's main force remained.
As long as the main force is kept, there is a chance of a comeback.
Chutian's military achievements ranked first, and because of the desert battle, the Han army gained another military achievement, and the gap between Chutian and the second place widened.
"The king of the Songhai Empire has been eliminated? He is indeed a non-chief."
Chutian discovered that the Songhai Empire had already been eliminated.
This is the first high lord to be eliminated.
At this time, it was only what happened on the third day of the national war.
In the desert, camel cavalry were chasing Chutian's cavalry position.
Chu Tian only left the light cavalry behind, they were more mobile, and it was not difficult to leave.
It's just that Chutian wants to buy time for the main army,
So try to hold Khaled down.
"Once you find the cavalry of the Han army, come back and report immediately!"
The expression of Umayyad, the Caliph of the Arab Empire, is not very good-looking.
This battle did not achieve good results.
Because Chutian is the number one lord in the main world, defeating Chutian's army gained more military exploits than expected. Now the Arab Empire has gained 30,000 military exploits.
If Chutian's army is completely wiped out, one can imagine the military achievements that can be obtained.
"I found Han cavalry about 50 miles to the west!"
"Continue to hunt!"
Once Umayyad learned of Chutian's whereabouts, he persevered.
Chutian provided too many military merits. On average, killing a soldier of the Chutian army can get 3 military merits. Other lords may not have such treatment.
Knowing Chutian's new location, Khaled drew the marching route of Chutian's cavalry on the sand with his sword, and fell into deep thought: "The Han army has a wider field of vision than ours, and we are still led by the nose by the Han army." Walk……"
Umayyad immediately understood: "You mean that the Han army had divided up before the battle?"
"exactly."
"You lead 20,000 camel cavalry to the west to kill this remnant army, and I will lead the main force to the south."
Umayyad was able to unify the Arab Empire and conquer the various chiefs in the desert. His ability was not weak at all, and he immediately thought of the location and direction of Chutian's division of troops.
Khalid shook his head: "It is estimated that there are less than 5,000 cavalrymen of the Han army on this route, and only 5,000 camel cavalry can make them suffer."
"Bring 8,000 camel cavalry."
The Umayyad had absolute confidence in Khalid, and no one could defeat Khalid in the desert without taking advantage of the force.
Khalid's general bonus, the fanatical characteristics of the Arab Empire, and the desert terrain bonus, the combination of the three is simply terrifying.
But the Umayyad also asked Khalid to keep more troops, because Chutian was the first lord, and not long ago he overthrew the Persian King of Kings head-on.
If it were not in the desert, the Umayyad might not have a chance.
Khalid led 8,000 camel cavalry and continued to pursue.
Umayyad led the main force of the Arab Empire and turned to the south.
When Chutian contained the army of the Arab Empire, the main force of Wu Qi and Xia Liang forcibly attacked the third city controlled by Darius I.
Darius controlled a total of three cities.
The main force of Darius retreated to the city in the east, and the city in the north was controlled by the Arab Empire, leaving the city in the south.
"Within one day, the city must be broken!"
The coolness in summer is already a little crazy.
Chu Tian bought some time in the rear, but the Arab Empire has no shortage of capable people, and maybe they will soon understand what the Han army thinks.
"Concubine Xia personally oversees the battle, and must capture this city as soon as possible!"
As a general of the siege department, Geng Yan immediately organized his troops to storm the city.
Wei Wuzu served as the main force to attack the city, climbing the city wall regardless of the cost!
boom! The Shenji Battalion bombarded the city wall with Hongyi cannons, and the last solid bullets were exhausted!
The main force of the Han army was driven into a desperate situation, and they all fought bravely. On the fourth day, they captured this city and beheaded nearly 10,000 Persian defenders.
The Han army immediately entered the city and stood firm. At the same time, they counted the population and weapons, and recruited soldiers.
"You can only recruit the special arms you bring..."
Xia Liang discovered the restrictions on recruiting soldiers in the barracks.
This city has a population of about 400,000, and there are about 80,000 qualified young adults who can be transferred to high-level arms or low-level arms.
All kinds of weapons are complete, which can meet the weapon requirements of 40,000 high-level arms.
"There's even a level nine firearms workshop!"
Xia Liang came to the stone tablet of the City Lord's Mansion, saw the list of buildings in the city, and found a high-end firearms workshop.
This kind of building does not exist in Chutian, but it does exist in the city on the battlefield of the national war.
With an advanced firearms workshop, you can supply black powder, and even produce a batch of solid bullets and shotguns!
Xia Liang was worried about what to do after the Hongyi Cannon's shells were exhausted.
The existence of advanced firearms workshops completely solved this problem.
"Although the production speed of solid bullets, shotgun shells, and black powder is very slow, we can finally get supplies. It's a pity that we can't bring the advanced firearms workshop back to the main world, otherwise..."
It's a pity that it's cold in summer.
This national war has seen a lot of good things.
"Try to find the location of the lord."
After Xia Liang had a city to defend, he ordered Tie Ying's war eagle to look for Chu Tian's location.
Even if he could be resurrected, it would be too regrettable to be eliminated on the fourth day.
After the Han army finally had a stronghold, the army of the Arab Empire came after them. When Umayyad saw the flag of the Han army planted in the city, he had to choose to give up.
The Han army had cities to defend, but the Arab Empire army could not give full play to its advantages in desert warfare, storming the cities, and the winning rate was extremely low.
The Han army in the city can be divided into two or three batches, taking turns to rest and recover their strength.
"After all, it's still a bit short. You can order Khalid to withdraw his troops. There is no need to be too extreme in everything. We also need to occupy a city as soon as possible."
Umayyad's judgment was accurate. The Han army was equipped with a large number of god-arm bows, which was extremely advantageous for defending the city.
Arrows can also be produced in the city.
The armies of the Arab Empire carried limited bows and arrows.
"The Arabs retreated..."
Liang Hongyu stood on the city wall and witnessed a large number of camel cavalry leaving.
An important reason why the Arab Empire is invincible in the desert is that even their infantry all have camels, which come and go like the wind in the desert.
"If you want to conquer the Arabian Peninsula in the future, you must fight the Arab Empire again. At that time, you can only rely on your superiority to sweep the desert..."
Xia Liang watched the army of the Arab Empire leave, and she had already decided in her heart to wipe out the Arabian Peninsula in the main world.
Human power is limited, and this time I suffered a loss in the hands of the Arabs, so it is hard not to think about revenge.
The main world, crushed by the size of its population and military strength, has the possibility of flattening the Arabian Peninsula.
The Umayyads withdrew, but the camel cavalry who went to contact Khalid did not contact Khalid so quickly.
Khalid led 8,000 camel cavalry and was still chasing and killing Chutian's less than 3,000 East Asian cavalry.
