Eagle Byzantium

Chapter 51 Saint Sister's Scorpion Tail

When Gawain was still building a barrier, the reason why Yisrael did not attack him was just as Gawain predicted in advance: it was very likely that the Holy Sister launched an attack between Iskander and Ghaznavids. A large-scale offensive, so many barbarian cavalry may even be led by the mysterious and young Yelu Dashi, who will go north to fight with Saint Sister and Gregor. Er's army became entangled, causing Yisrael to hold on to the camp on the other side of the river. After all, Gawain had killed nearly 20,000 Sindhi soldiers in the battle of Marka Ferry and massacred Samirai, who was famous for his bravery. The cavalry has so far frightened Yisrael - without the cooperation of Yelu Dashi, he would not dare to act rashly alone.

On the other hand, there is another very important reason why Saint Sister is so confident to attack:

Isfahan sent a large number of cavalry. Three thousand of them were pure Seljuk cavalry, but there were still four to five thousand Mongolian cavalry who failed to board the ship at the Kerman Pass. They were told to stay behind, but in fact They were abandoned victims. In the end, most of this group of Mongolian cavalry surrendered, gave up their shamanic beliefs and converted to the Crescent Faith. They were called the "New Believers Team" by Seljuk.

No matter what, when this group of cavalry passed through the city of Herat and joined the Holy Sister's camp, Kabeamiya left the camp with confidence, and with the assistance of the two generals Gregor and Atami, began to attack Ga The city of Sennis advanced.

Israel was naturally very anxious after receiving the information, so he asked Yelu Dashi to "lead 10,000 cavalry and gallop back quickly to save the city of Ghaznavid."

It is said that Yelu Dashi was extremely dissatisfied at the meeting. The young Khitan hero wanted the cavalry to cross the river quickly and attack Gawain while advancing. His opinions were contrary to Yisrael's.

The helpless Israel asked King Ping Ping to issue an order in person, instructing Yelu Dashi to "comply with the request of Lord Ghazni Khan".

So Yelu Dashi could only drink his hatred and go to rescue the city of Ghaznavid.

During this period of wrangling, Gawain's barrier was successfully completed.

But what Gawain didn't know was that the Holy Sister's army over there was defeated by Yelu Dashi's army that almost fell from the sky in a valley facing Ghazni City. Yelu Dashi first used two wings of wild cavalry to contain the head and tail of the Holy Sister's team. , and then personally led the "Confidant Skin Room" to assemble suddenly, taking advantage of the opportunity in the middle to rush into the Holy Sister's camp.

How could Kabeamiya be Yelu Dashi's opponent in battle? Fortunately, she had already mastered the skills of retreating in front of the enemy: before each battle, eight hundred believers armed with muskets were placed in ambush at the back of the battalion, called the "Scorpion Tail Team", and then the female The fox takes care of him The guard cavalry threw down their baggage and just ran away. When Yelu Dashi's men came to pursue them, the believers ambushed in the mountains and suddenly raised their flags and took turns firing fire cannons. Dozens of Dashi's leather-chambers were immediately killed and they did not dare to pursue.

Afterwards, Gregor, Atami, and the Mongolian New Believers Army, who were unfavorable in the battle, were defeated one after another and retreated, giving up the attack on Ghaznavids and closing their camps.

Yelu Dashi was not reluctant to fight, and took all the cavalry with him. After grabbing a lot of baggage, he spent a lot of energy and quickly returned to the Hillspice River. As a result, he deployed the troops as soon as he arrived in Israel. The strategy of "making a sound in the east and attacking in the west".

Specifically, Israel's plan is: I will lead the entire battalion of troops and horses to confront the "Emperor's Bastion" (the nickname for Gawain's Field Bastion). You will lead 10,000 elite barbarians on a shallow mountain sixteen miles upstream. Se Qiang crossed over and compressed and destroyed Gawain's grazing land, leaving the opponent in trouble.

After inspecting Gaowen's fortress on the other side of the river, Yelu Dashi angrily said to Ghazni Khan: The purpose of the forced crossing before was to prevent the enemy from setting up camp successfully, but the Khan was only concerned about the capital and was timid; now the enemy's camp and police posts are all The defense is tight. If we are halfway across and the enemy approaches, it will be like throwing ourselves into the middle. Coupled with the many elite cavalry, which had just traveled back and forth for hundreds of miles, both men and horses needed to recuperate their energy before fighting again.

But Israel's attitude was also very fierce: "It's okay not to use your Pishi and Shushan troops, but let the big and small falcon troops composed of barbarians come up. If you are not willing to send out 10,000 people, 5,000 people will do."

As a result, Dashi became even more angry, "Five thousand people forced the crossing, but they killed our soldiers in vain and destroyed the morale and fighting spirit!"

So Ghazni Khan asked Dashi how to deal with the war on the Shilspis River. Oishi couldn't think of any good solution for a while, so he proposed to continue the confrontation for a long time, "If the army of King Da Ping attacks, they will definitely win a brilliant victory in Malu City (Mofu City), but that will easily expose their strength prematurely. In my opinion, the quality of Da Ping Wang Ya's army is comparable to that of the enemy chief Gao Wen, or even better, but it is a pity that there are not many soldiers..."

"Then why doesn't King Daping ask the empire for more elite slaves (Israel believes that the elite of the Song Dynasty is equivalent to the slave soldiers of the Turks) to reinforce the battlefield here?"

Hearing Ghazni Khan's words, Yelv Dashi's expression changed slightly, but he quickly replied, "By winter, more soldiers from the Imperial Song Ya Army should arrive, so the Khan can rest assured."

However, in the end Yelv Dashi was still unable to defeat the opponent and expressed his willingness to dispatch 3,000 Falcon cavalry to cooperate with 2,000 Ghaznavid cavalry to launch a forced crossing battle.

Yisrael, on the other hand, led the main force of 20,000 Ghaznavids out of the camp to contain the enemies in the "Emperor's Bastion" and attack in the east and west.

When the time for the battle came, many soldiers climbed the curtain wall and looked at the Ghaznavid army showing off its might on the other side of the Hirspis River field rampart: more than a dozen ornately decorated war elephants stood in the center of the formation and roared, and the narrow squares on both sides were all the Isler Iqta cavalry with shining armor, and behind them were countless believers. The more terrifying were the Gurkha infantry standing near the war elephants. They were short, most of them were only five anna feet tall, but they held the iconic scimitars in their hands, which were all inserted in the sheaths, because once they were unsheathed, they would have to see the blood of the enemy. Their bravery and unyielding spirit even infected the Turkic soldiers who were always known for their ferocity, so Isler recruited 3,000 people into his camp and prepared to use these small butchers to kill at the critical moment.

Israel sat on the elephant sedan chair with colorful flags and gold and silver logos, looking at the huge rampart of the Roman emperor across the river. There seemed to be pieces of reflective objects in the curtain walls and towers there, which seemed to be made of glass, or perhaps reflected by the soldiers' weapons.

A perfect version in the 16-9 book forum!

"Keep provoking the enemy." Amid the waves of scolding, Israel raised his hand and signaled everyone not to stop and continue to scold fiercely.

Finally, the strange light in the opposite rampart disappeared, and the entire rampart became dead silent. Only the soldiers' iron helmets occasionally shook behind them, looking like small black dots from a distance.

The river was flowing smoothly, and there was dead silence on one side, which made the shouting on the other side even more noisy and lonely, as if countless people were performing a one-man show. Even Israel, who was sitting on the elephant sedan chair, felt a little embarrassed.
