The Struggle of the Reborn Prince
Chapter 388 encounters strong aid
After listening to Barkel's introduction, Wang Gang's expression became extremely strange and he fell into confusion. If it weren't for the emperor's convenience to hang out with him since childhood, I really doubted whether the seven or eight-year-old emperor had been kidnapped here by human traffickers.
I have been a slave soldier and received harsh "Guram" training since I was a child. Otherwise, the previous incident could be called a coincidence, and then another Roma Sultanate cavalry that was almost the same as their dragoons' fighting style.
How to explain this?
But now Wang Gang doesn't care about this problem now, because the enemy troops in front of him are constantly gathering, and the expeditionary forces have been progressing smoothly since entering the Persian Gulf and have not encountered stubborn resistance. However, this small city is like a large army of heavenly soldiers suddenly descending.
Where did it come from...
The matter has to start with their conquering the castle of Grand Duke Feichia. At first, the big guys who were in the Seljuk capital Baghdad did not take this sudden appearance of the Eastern army, thinking that they might just rob some money.
Then they would retreat, but unexpectedly they came all the way to the imperial capital, and the team was getting bigger and bigger! Now they were scared, so they immediately gave up Sultan Sanjar who had gone out to fight and quickly led his troops back to the rescue, but the matter was
But it's not that simple.
Although the Caliphs of Baghdad had lost their political power many years ago, they were custodians of the Seljuks and ruled the empire. The Sultans still respected the Caliphs, the successor of the prophets,
In name, he is still the leader of the entire Arab Empire, the commander of the Muslim believers, and the symbol of the Arab Empire. Baghdad is still the center of the empire.
But at this time, Baghdad, who was at the center of the empire, had long been assimilated by Persian civilization, and the bad habits of the Persian court quickly became the custom of the empire. In the gorgeous palace, there were countless eunuchs, palace maids, female slaves, male slaves. Unlimited side rooms, countless strangers
The deformed romance between mother and brother and half-sister, terrible jealousy, and conspiracy everywhere. The luxurious life, the frequent drunkenness, the vague inheritance of the throne, all of which exhausted the vitality of the royal family. Such a leader did not provoke at all.
Ability to the country's important responsibilities.
The sluggish royal family and nobles still lived a life of debauchery. Their behavior was imitated by separatists of all sizes. Since the country could not open up new sources of wealth, it could only exploit ordinary people, and the people's lives were becoming increasingly poor.
The weakening of the canal system has led to the maintenance of the canal system becoming a problem, and many arable land is forced to become wasteland. In those places where war-torn places, the number of people has dropped a large number, and the remaining people have left their homeland because of their lack of security, resulting in more wastelands.
.Frequent wars have also led to the epidemic of infectious diseases, causing the originally small population to decline faster.
The war also destroyed normal commerce and industry, and the national economy was severely recession. Then it was the decline of national culture, and the civilized achievements created by the empire in the early days were gradually lost. The declining countries were still surrounded by various quarrels, including the North and South Arabs.
Religion can no longer unite them into an organized whole between humans, between Arabs and non-Arabs, between Arab Muslims and Neo-Muslims, between Muslims and non-Muslims, among various denominations.
The territory of the empire has been divided by dynasties of all sizes. Under the control of the Sultan, the Caliph was just a puppet at the mercy of others. They could not mobilize their troops to resist in the face of the approaching enemy troops, and could only go to the Sultan Sultan who was out.
Jaer asked for help and asked him to return to rescue.
Sanjar received an emergency document from the imperial capital, which prompted him to return to the army to rescue, but he was unable to escape. In recent years, in order to maintain the unification of the empire situation, he had to lead his army to fight everywhere under the banner of Islam.
I hope to delay the decline of the empire and restore his former authority. Now, in the process of conquering the Black Khanate, the Khwarezm independence incident occurred again. He had to send troops to suppress the empire to maintain the unity of the empire, which restricted him from
It was difficult to return to the northeast of the empire.
But his old nest was in danger and he had to save it. So Sanjar ordered the Sultan of Rom and Kerman in the name of the Sultan of the Great Seljuk Empire to send troops quickly to rescue Baghdad and eliminate the invading enemy troops...
The cavalry of Roma was lined up in a long line of miles, with an estimated 50,000 people. The middle of the line was thick and thin on both sides, and the shape of a crescent moon was concave. It was actually their "Cannon Moon Formation". Wang Gang understood that this formation was
The central army was the main force, and the two wings surrounded them and encircled them in the middle and annihilated them. Faced with the serious situation, Wang Gang regretted his carelessness and did not send a reconnaissance cavalry to search closely, so he fell into the dark, but regretted it was useless. He must fight or retreat as soon as possible.
Make a decision.
When forming the dragon cavalry, Wang Gang clearly remembered what the emperor said. The reason why they used strict and dense formations to charge was a last resort, because even after rigorous training, the cavalry living in the Song Dynasty was not as good as those of the cavalry who had been young.
Nomads living on horseback are born knights; in addition, nomads are strong and good at fighting in close combat, the Song army can only rely on advanced weapons and appropriate tactics to restrain their strengths and rely on collective
Strength wins.
The cavalry in front of us is not only burly and tall, but also the sword skills of these cavalrymen are particularly outstanding. They can slash a candied date hanging in the air while galloping, and the world-renowned Damascus scimitar sword
It also makes its cavalry more powerful and unstoppable in close combat. In other words, compared with the enemies it faces, the current Song army is at an absolute disadvantage in physical strength, war horses, swords and troops. The Song army's advantages are gone. If you use it again
The same tactical decisive battle can be said to have few chances of winning.
"Retreat!" Wang Gang faced the enemy troops who had already begun to panic in the army. He issued an order. But turning around and running would definitely be a heavy loss. He ordered the Brak army to spread to both wings, and with it, he ordered the Brak army to spread to its wings.
The guerrilla tactics he was good at preventing the enemy's encirclement from closing. The Atal army divided into two teams to cover the Song army's dragon cavalry to establish a blocking position to retreat alternately. At the same time, he sent people to quickly send a message to the rear, requesting the brigade to respond.
The only advantage the dragon riders have at this moment is the firearms they equipped. They are divided into two parts, first dismounted with one to choose a favorable terrain to establish a blocking line. Once the enemy launches an attack, they will use a bead gun, a wheeler and several artillery to conduct long-range strikes.
;The other team established another defense line afterwards to cover the front army's retreat and block the enemy. Although this method is slow, it is safe to win. The cavalry of the Roma Kingdom also launched several rounds of tentative attacks, but intensified
The firepower failed to break through the blocking line.
Even people showed great fear of the firelight and loud noises emitted by the firearm, let alone war horses, which made the cavalry of Roma dare not approach the blocking line too much. Instead, they used small cavalry to harass them and tried to find out their opponents.
Weaknesses may cause them to become confused due to panic and then find opportunities to break through. However, the Song army has a tight formation, and even if a small group of enemy troops approaches, they will be driven away by the army, leaving them with no chance to take advantage of it. They retreated more than ten miles in one step.
Gradually separated from the enemy and withdrew from the battlefield, and the enemy was worried that there would be ambush and not chase after him.
Although he retreated safely to the camp, the crisis was not lifted. The whistle cavalry reported that another light cavalry of about 70,000 people were surrounding them in the northeast of the expeditionary force. Faced with the sudden appearance of two large groups of enemy troops,
Ma Wei decided to retreat to the river and meet with the navy troops anchored on the banks of the Tigerus River to avoid being divided and surrounded by the enemy. That night, the entire army set out to evacuate the battlefield, but the enemy did not seem to want to let them go, and the two armies quickly surrounded them.
, and conduct a tail-chasing and intercepting them!
..............
Ma Wei learned that the enemy troops coming to support were several times higher than him, and they were brave and good at fighting, and they were newly in full swing. He decided to lure the enemy into the depths and then counterattacked with the powerful firepower provided by the naval warships. After two days
The expeditionary force retreated while fighting and retreated to the banks of the Tigris River. This was a turning point in the river. Due to the impact of the river for thousands of years, a vast river bay was formed on the west bank of the river. The navy's support fleet used this as
The port is located in it.
The enemy did not know that the Song army deliberately showed weakness, followed their steps and soon discovered the warships anchored in the bay. So he chose a light cavalry from the Kerman Kingdom to build a floating bridge and cross it.
The Tigerus River was set up on the east bank to prepare for the Song army to escape to the east bank. The Roma State formed an array outside the water bay and built a camp to block the Song army's road to the west, and sent heavy troops to spread to both wings to guard the floating bridge.
In order to provide support between the two armies, the water access of the Song army was cut off.
I found myself surrounded by the enemy in the river berth, and the expeditionary army experienced a brief panic, especially those who joined the army, which was even more unstable. A team of the Brak Army, composed of sectarian troops, wanted to break through the encirclement just now.
Nearly two thousand of them assaulted the weak and prominent left wing of the Roma camp. They were immediately fired by bows and arrows from the front and side, covering the sky and the sun, and suffered heavy losses.
And the survival of the ** defeated fear, and the worship of faith allowed them to unite. The Brak sect army shouted "God of Allah", facing waves of bows and arrows, bravely rushed forward regardless of casualties,
Some soldiers were still yelling forward after several arrows, and the scene was very tragic. Their sacrificial charge made the defending Roma cavalry frightened and chilled. But their flesh and blood bodies could not resist the sharp arrows as sharp as rain.
Ya, soon all fell on the way to charge.
The sect army's breakthrough battle was short and tragic, and even if the expeditionary army wanted to rescue it, they did not sacrifice themselves meaninglessly, which made the enemy cautious and did not launch a rash charge; and the Song army's cooperative participation was also
I was so scared that I didn't dare to escape without permission. I followed my masters wholeheartedly to build fortifications, actively prepare for war, and wait for the war to come... (To be continued...)
