Ziyad loves his men very much. When he thinks that there will be large-scale casualties, his mood is very bad, but as a general, he has no right to choose, as long as there is an order above, let him spare no effort After the capture of Maia City, then he must complete the task, otherwise, he will not be able to explain to Mansur.

The goal of Mansur is to kill Artic, and Ibrahim supported by him, and regain control of the Arabian Peninsula. For this ultimate goal, Mansur is willing to sacrifice everything. The soldier ’s life is simply a small meaning He would not care too much about the lives of ordinary soldiers.

Any ambitious emperor will not care too much about the lives of soldiers. They want the ultimate victory. For this victory, it is worth sacrificing the lives of some soldiers. In their eyes, ordinary soldiers are tools and losses Some do not have much influence on the entire empire, and as long as they can achieve strategic goals, everything is worthwhile.

Ziyad had no choice. Even if his soldiers lost 10000, they would have to win Maia City. This is a task he must complete.

But looking at the tightly defended city in front of him, Ziyad had a headache. He could n’t think of a siege strategy that would greatly reduce casualties. Perhaps it would only take human life to fill the city.

In order to reduce casualties as much as possible, large-scale construction of siege equipment is indispensable. At the same time, he will draw on the previous experience and send heavy soldiers to protect these siege equipment. .

“General, the city in front of him is much higher than the defense of Al City, and it takes a lot of people to die.”

Said a personal soldier.

Ziyad nodded and said: “Even if the whole army lost half, and must have captured Maia City, this mission must be completed. This is the mission of the caliphate. If it is not completed, we can’t explain to the caliph.”

“Aren’t the soldiers’ lives worthwhile? The caliphate also has to consider the actual situation here.”

The soldiers were dissatisfied.

“Shut up, how can you question the caliphate, well, we should go back.”

Ziad has read the defense of the entire Maia City, and he has to go back to discuss with Abu *** to find the best plan to attack the city.

On the city wall not far away, Altik and Ibrahim, who had already boarded the city wall, looked at the group of Ziyad not far away.

“This enemy general must be a low-ranking official, will it be Abb ***, or Ziyad?”

“Isn’t Great Tang sent us some telescopes? You can see it with that thing.”

Everyone talking at once said.

Although the telescope is an important equipment of the Great Tang, it is not a big problem to send a few senior officials at this level of Artic, and Li An sent three telescopes to Artic, and, three telescopes of different models , The largest one is 3 times, the smallest one is 3 times, and the other is 50 times.

Since acquiring the telescope, Artick has regarded it as Supreme Treasure, and he is extremely cherished, and he is usually reluctant to take it out. However, when he encounters hostility, he has to take it out, otherwise he will lose it if he owns the telescope. It should make sense.

“Hurry up.”

The 8x magnification telescope, which is on Altik’s bodyguard, is an object he carries with him. As for the other two in his residence, they are kept in strict custody so that no one can glance at them.

The guard quickly took out the telescope, and before unpacking the package, he listened to Artic scolded: “Be careful, 10000000 don’t break it, give it to me.”

Altick opened the package in person and held it cautiously in his hand, looking towards Ziyad outside the city.

As the former owner of Aden City, Altik had seen Ziyad himself, so when he saw Ziyad’s face clearly, he quickly recognized Ziyad and was surprised.

“It’s Qi Yard, that’s right, it’s this guy. I can recognize it if it turns gray.”

Artik said.

“The city lord, since it is Ziyad, then what are we waiting for, we immediately sent cavalry to chase down and killed this guy, at least we must also hit his guard horse and give him a dismounted horse.”

subordinate said.

Altik felt very reasonable and immediately ordered: “Play open the city gates, send cavalry out of the city, chase Ziyad.”

After the order was issued, the city gate opened immediately, but the cavalry could not rush through it at a stretch, because the city gate deployed a large number of defensive facilities in order to block the attack of the enemy troops, so the road was very difficult to go. But in order to allow his soldiers and horses to get out of the city at an appropriate time, so there are still roads, just need to ride around back and forth, and take multiple curved lines, instead of a straight line to the end, so that when the enemy attacks, It is not possible to go straight, and if you follow the curve, the suddenness of the attack is lost, which is extremely beneficial to the defense.

But the situation in front is the opposite. The cavalry needs to attack from the city, and the defense facilities of the city gate greatly limit the movement of the cavalry, so that the cavalry cannot attack the enemy more quickly.

“General, the enemy cavalry came out, it seems that it is going to be against you!”

Faintly smiled and said.

Ziyad looked back at the cavalry who was rushing out of the way, opened the mouth and said: “See it! The enemy can only make a detour from the city, and the walk is meandering, like a snake, which is very attacking us. The disadvantage is, so a lot of siege equipment must be built, the more the better. “

For the cavalry who rushed out of the city, Ziyad was not a little nervous, because he had already formed an almost identical cavalry unit according to the characteristics of the enemy cavalry.

Although the lack of great Tang’s excellent weapons made this soldier’s attack distance not as good as that of Artic’s cavalry, but equipped with a larger bow and crossbow, their range gap was reduced within a dozen steps, cavalry A shock can break through, and his horses and horses are also light cavalry. They are the best horses selected from the whole army. The speed and endurance are the best. Moreover, the cavalry soldiers under his command are still on the front chest and back. The back is equipped with 2 small shields, which can greatly reduce the resistance to bows and arrows.

“Gentlemen, everyone lined up, ready to meet the enemy.”

Ziyad issued a military order.

“General, we only have 200 cavalry, or retreat! At least the general should retreat.”

Said the soldier.

Ziyad shook his head and said: “No, this General is not a person who is afraid of death. Moreover, the enemy forces detoured out of the city and can only come in batches. This is the fat that is delivered to the mouth. aim.”

Ziyad is very confident about his personal training of cavalry and archery soldiers. He believes that with this horse and horse, he can completely fight against Artike ’s cavalry regiment and achieve a brilliant victory.

The soldiers and horses in the city can only run out of the city through narrow passages, while the soldiers and horses outside the city have already been assembled. The gap between the two sides is obvious.

But the cavalrymen and horses in the city, not at all fear, they have already dealt with the enemy, knowing that their bow and crossbow has a longer range and more followers, so, without the slightest hesitation, they jumped up and wanted to use bows and arrows The rain hit the enemy on the opposite side, catching the enemy General Ziyad alive.

Immediately after approaching the range, the cavalry horse rushing to the forefront immediately bend bow and place arrow, and attacked the horses and horses of Qi Yade, and Qi Yade also immediately commanded the horses and horses under his command. The enemy army launched a bow and arrow attack.

Because the bow and arrow range of both sides is relatively long, and at such a long distance, the hit rate of the bow and arrow is greatly reduced, so the probability of the two sides being hit is relatively small, but the 200th cavalry horse of the Ziyad side is already set The formation, and the cavalry horses rushed out of the city can only enter the attack distance a little, so in terms of quantity, Ziyad can occupy a certain advantage, so as to achieve better results.

After a period of confrontation, dozens of soldiers and soldiers in the city lost, and the soldiers on the side of Qiyad lost only a dozen people. Obviously, the side of Qiyad took advantage.

After the soldiers and horses in front were shot dead, the body blocked the way, and the cavalry behind could not pass. In desperation, these cavalrymen could only give up their horses, jump into the trenches next to them, launch bow and arrow attacks from the trenches, and shoot the horse Changed to a step shot, which gradually restored the decline.

“Generals and enemy troops all hid in the trenches. We couldn’t shoot the enemy troops at all. We could only shoot the horses at most. Our soldiers kept losing. Let’s withdraw quickly!”

The soldier said.

Ziad nodded, opened the mouth and said “Retreat, the whole army retreat immediately, drive.”

After throwing away more than 20 bodies, Ziyad evacuated near the city of Maya and ran back to his large camp.

In this battle, he did not lose at all, and the loss was much smaller than that of the cavalrymen and horses in the city. This is enough to show that the soldiers and horses under his command are elite. Only a little change in strategy is enough to defeat the mob of Artic. .

Artik and the others who were watching the battle at the head of the city were all stunned. Their cavalry horses had achieved one victory after another under the training of Lieutenant General Great Tang, but they did not expect to be under their own eyes. Eat a big loss.

“Let the cavalry withdraw! Statistics of losses.”

Artik said.

“City Lord, the fool of this battle! Our army lost 36 people, injured 20 5 people, and injured 100 horses, half of them could not survive.”

The subordinates reported the situation soon.

“The dead horses, as well as the injured and useless horses, are all cooked, don’t waste it.”

Artik said.

After leaving his staff, Artik looked towards the people and said, “Ziyad is worthy of being a famous general. It was so powerful to find a way to deal with our army on archers and horses so quickly!”

“We all saw that Qi Yade’s horses and archers used bows and crossbows with a range similar to that of our army. It is really not weak at all! In this way, our army’s cavalry are difficult to confront them directly and can only participate in defense. The city is gone. “

A subordinate said.

Artik looked at a group of Ziyad who had gone away, opened the mouth and said: “The enemy may attack the city at any time, we must be prepared to let the soldiers be vigilant, and the defense gates of the city gates at night At least 500 soldiers are required to ensure absolute safety. “

“Yes, the lord.”

“I hope Al City hasn’t lost it. If it’s lost, it’s in trouble.”

Artik said.

Ibrahim came over and opened the mouth and said: “Altik, should we be prepared for the worst? Once the city of Maia is broken, where are we going to retreat?”

“The caliphate, we have no way to retreat. The Armed Forces of Abu *** are all cavalry. Once the city of Maia is defeated, he will block the city and prevent anyone from leaving. How can we escape? And, even if we really escaped, but our main force and elite are in Maia City, if the city is broken, it means that our main force is gone, so, we simply have no place in the peninsula, The Ottomans in Egypt will certainly not accept us, and they will not be able to go anywhere else. Even if the sneak attack Mansur is not enough, he will definitely kill us. “

Artik said.

“Oh, this is really bad. If the city is broken, we have no way to escape. It seems that we must keep the city.”

Ibrahim strengthened his conviction that he escaped from Khorasan, and also specifically against Mansour, so as long as he was released, he would certainly not be forgiven by Mansour and was executed Things on the board.

Altik thought for a while and opened the mouth and said: “Caliph need not worry too much. We have 30000 soldiers and horses in our city. The fortifications are also very strong. The food in the city is enough for half a year. The number of wells is also enough. As long as the soldiers are united, there is no truth that cannot be kept. “

“Well, I believe you, if necessary, you can recruit troops in the city. Only if you have more soldiers and horses can you resist the soldiers and horses under Abu ***.”

Ibrahim spoke.

Altik thought for a while and suggested: “It would be better to gather all the men over 15 years old and under 60 years old in the city and train them to make them the reserve forces of Armed Forces. Let them join the castle. “

“It’s a good idea! After the expansion of Maia City, there are enough surnames in the city’s 100 surnames. If all the remaining men over 10000 years old are levied, it is estimated that 15 backup powers can be added, so do it! It’s really impossible, and women can keep the city. “

Ibrahim said, in order to be able to block the enemy’s attack, he hopes to conquer all the people in the city to the city wall to defend the city, so the odds are greater.

Soon, Maia City carried out a full mobilization process. All men over 15 years old were all recruited as reserve forces. Everyday all required the most basic training, but not at all officially joined the army. After the training, they Will still return home, or return to their respective jobs, continue to do what they should do.
