EBE Chapter 377: The First Battle of the Arabs
Chapter 377: The First Battle of the Arabs
"Artillery advance three hundred meters, and the central army advances synchronously."
"The cavalry prepares to charge."
Seeing this, Yue Fei immediately gave orders.
Yue Fei certainly saw that the enemy wanted to retreat, but retreating was not so easy.
The enemy had already set up camp, and with a camp of three hundred thousand men, it would take time to retreat.
Unless the enemy doesn't want anything anymore and just turns around and runs away.
“Wuwuwu… Wuwuwu… Wuwuwu…”
As the horn sounded, the cavalry who had been waiting for a long time began to move out.
The artillery and the center also began to advance.
At this time, the defeated Arab soldiers had retreated back to the camp.
There was horror on their faces. Who could have expected that the enemy would have such fierce artillery fire?
"Order the left wing troops to defend the camp to the death."
"Other armies, retreat immediately."
Seeing the defeated soldiers retreating, Adelu immediately decided to leave the left-wing army to defend and cover the main force's retreat.
Upon receiving the order, the camp fell into chaos.
The soldiers began to pack up their tents and baggage.
"Boom boom boom..."
At this moment, the Daqian artillery had returned to its position and opened fire again.
Dense artillery shells poured down like raindrops.
The camp was suddenly filled with smoke, wailing was everywhere, blood and flesh were splattered everywhere, and a large number of soldiers were killed or injured in the explosion.
"Damn Daqian, I'm going to kill you." Adelu's eyes were bloodshot, and he wished he could kill all the enemy troops immediately.
But he knew that all he could do now was retreat.
"Retreat, retreat quickly, don't worry about the baggage and food."
"Retreat, leave quickly."
Adel's heart was bleeding at this moment, but he still hardened his heart and commanded his troops to flee backwards.
It’s too late to pack up the baggage and food now. If we don’t run now, it will be too late.
But it was obvious that Yue Fei did not intend to let him go.
"Order the cavalry to attack."
After seeing the enemy fleeing, Yue Fei immediately gave orders.
"kill!"
The cavalry immediately attacked upon receiving the order, charging towards the enemy with a roar.
The Arab troops responsible for the rearguard had already been stunned by the artillery fire, and the soldiers were either killed or injured.
The cavalry easily broke through the enemy's defense line and rushed into the enemy camp.
"Shhhhhh!"
“Puff! Puff!”
Suddenly, the sound of swords piercing chests, screams, and the sound of horse hooves filled the entire battlefield.
Arrows streaked across the sky and pierced through the enemy's bodies.
The Daqian cavalry were as ferocious as wolves among a flock of sheep, and blood rained wherever they went.
The Arab soldiers were unable to resist the attack of the Daqian cavalry and could only run away in all directions.
Soon, the entire battlefield was filled with scattered Arab soldiers.
Adlu was also running for his life frantically, and he didn't care about anything at this moment.
Unfortunately, he couldn't get away.
With Yue Fei's strategy, how could he give the enemy a chance to survive? He had already sent Wei Qing to lead 50,000 cavalry to wait outside.
"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu"
As the trumpets sounded, a large number of cavalry appeared in Adru's sight.
These cavalrymen were in skirmish formation, and they quickly surrounded the battlefield from all directions.
Adlu was naturally surrounded among them.
"It's over, everything is over."
Seeing this scene, Adelu's eyes turned red, his face was full of despair, and there was no hope at all.
Adelu thought he was both wise and brave, but today he realized that he was still far behind the enemy commander.
"Kill, kill!"
The enemy cavalry came charging forward with a roar.
"We surrender."
"surrender."
Seeing that they were surrounded by enemy cavalry and had no way to escape, the Arab soldiers lost their fighting spirit and knelt down in surrender.
And Adlu did not resist and surrendered obediently.
He is not a stupid person. Surrendering may save his life, but resisting will only lead to death.
He still has family, parents, wife and children, and death cannot be taken lightly.
Half a minute later, the battlefield fell silent.
The 300,000-strong Arab army was completely annihilated, and except for the more than 30,000 who died in battle, the rest were all captured.
Adlu and other generals were also captured.
Daqian lost less than two thousand people.
There is no doubt that Yue Fei won a complete victory in this battle.
At the same time, a fierce battle was also going on in the city of Kunshi, thousands of miles away.
Under the command of Bai Qi, tens of thousands of Daqian soldiers launched a fierce attack on the capital of Kunshi.
"kill!"
"Kill!"
The shouts of killing shook the heaven and the earth.
On the city wall, the Arab army stubbornly resisted the attack of the Daqian soldiers.
However, faced with Daqian's wave after wave of attacks, the defenders only held out for half a day before collapsing.
The number of defenders in Kunshi City was not large, only three or four thousand people, and most of them were new recruits.
The Daqian soldiers were well-trained, well-equipped, and numbered 300,000.
So failure is inevitable.
Afterwards, Bai Qi led his army into the city.
"Send the order, repair the city walls immediately and strengthen the defense facilities."
"Inform General Li Mu and have him lead his cavalry to move fifty miles north. Remember not to let the enemy see you."
After entering the city, Bai Qi immediately gave orders.
Taking over Queenstown is not the end, but the beginning.
At this moment, 500,000 Arab reinforcements are rushing here, only a day's journey away from Kunshidu.
Bai Qi's battle plan was to capture Kunshidu first, and then use Kunshidu's strong city defense to fight a war of attrition with the enemy.
Then look for opportunities to annihilate the enemy
"Yes."
The deputy general on the side responded and immediately went down to pass on the order.
.........
Fifty miles northwest of Kunshidu, the Arab reinforcements were heading towards Kunshidu.
The commander-in-chief was Lusk.
Lusk was also a famous general of the Arabs. He fought on the battlefield for twenty years and never lost a battle.
This time, His Majesty the Emperor ordered him to go on the expedition because he had high hopes for him.
Lux was well aware of the responsibility on his shoulders, so he marched quickly all the way.
"General, the scouts report that Kunshidu has been lost and the enemy has occupied the city!"
Suddenly, a deputy general hurried up to Adlu to report.
"What? Kunshidu was captured by the enemy?"
When Lusk heard this, his face suddenly darkened.
"Yes, General. The enemy has occupied Kunshidu and is currently strengthening the city's defenses."
"What the hell are the Kunshidu defenders doing? They couldn't even hold it for a single day. They're more of a hindrance than a help."
Lukes cursed, extremely angry.
As the saying goes, great minds think alike. Lux and Bai Qi's battle plans are almost identical.
They were all planning to use the solidity of the city of Kunshi to deal with the enemy.
But Lux didn't expect that the enemy would take the city of Kunshi first, which put him in a passive position.
"Pass the order down. The army halts its advance and rests for three days."
Lux said irritably.
In order to reach Kunshidu first, the army had been marching rapidly for a month and was already exhausted.
Now that Kunshidu has fallen, the army no longer needs to continue its journey. It can rest for a few days and recover its strength.
…………
Queensland City.
"General, the enemy army suddenly stopped advancing."
The deputy general hurriedly walked up to Bai Qi and reported.
"Okay, I see. That's not surprising." Bai Qi nodded and said, "Inform the scouts to keep a close eye on the enemy and report any signs of movement immediately."
"I obey your command!"
The deputy general turned and left.
