Chapter 382: Running Away is Impossible
Chapter 382: Running Away is Impossible
In the Arab camp, Lusk also looked at the thick smoke on the city wall and suddenly had a bad feeling in his heart.
This smoke was clearly unusual.
"Did the enemy make any preparations?"
"All troops, listen to the order, retreat immediately!"
"Order the cavalry on the left and right wings to move out immediately and take up guard duty.
Lusk guessed in his mind and then gave the order.
"Yes!"
Immediately, all the generals began to take action, leading the soldiers to pack up the tents and prepare for evacuation.
The cavalry on both wings also began to assemble, preparing to take on guard duties.
"Woooooo~"
But at this moment, the sound of a horn suddenly sounded from a distance.
Immediately afterwards, a large mass of cavalry appeared in the distance.
At the same time, the gates of Kunshidu suddenly opened.
Daqian soldiers swarmed out.
Seeing this scene, Lusk's heart sank.
He immediately understood that Daqian had probably made preparations for this and it was impossible for him to evacuate.
"Send the order, all troops to meet the enemy!"
"Order all cavalry to move out and stop the enemy cavalry."
Lusk shouted loudly with determination.
Since we can't retreat, let's fight to the death to see who will win.
"Kill~~~"
Following Lusk's order, tens of thousands of Arab cavalry who had already assembled immediately set out and rushed towards the enemy cavalry in the rear.
The infantry in the camp also began to deploy their defenses urgently in preparation for battle.
“Bang~Bang~”
Soon, the cavalry of both sides collided with each other and a fierce battle began.
On the other side, a fierce battle broke out under the city.
But the first to open fire were the Daqian artillery.
Thirty artillery guns fired at the same time, and dense shells fell on the Arab army like raindrops.
"Boom~~~"
The shells landed in the Arab army formation and exploded, immediately causing a bloody storm.
Countless Arab soldiers were blown away and blood flowed everywhere.
Of course, Bai Qi also had mortars, but there were only the thirty in front of him, unlike the more than a hundred in Yue Fei's army.
The reason was that the production could not keep up and the Daqian Arsenal could not produce so many, so it was allocated first to Yue Fei's troops.
This is also the reason why Bai Qi chose to consume the enemy first and then annihilate them completely.
The mortars were powerful, but the enemy troops were too numerous, numbering as many as 500,000.
Thirty mortars alone were not enough to ensure an overwhelming victory.
But things are different now.
The Arab army attacked Kunshidu fiercely in recent days, but not only failed to capture the city, but suffered heavy losses, which made the morale of the Arab soldiers low.
Coupled with the sudden retreat, the soldiers' morale was completely destroyed.
At this time, the bombardment of thirty mortars was enough to have a decisive effect.
"Bang bang bang~~~~~~"
Artillery shells rained down crazily, and blood and flesh flew everywhere in the Arab army, with broken limbs and arms flying all over the sky.
"kill!"
The intensive bombardment lasted for five minutes. Seeing that the Arab army had been destroyed, Li Mu immediately drew his sword and roared, leading the Daqian soldiers to charge.
A brutal killing began.
......
At the same time, the cavalry battle in the distance became even more brutal.
Cavalry combat is much simpler and faster than infantry combat, but it is also more brutal and bloody.
"ah....."
"Puff."
“Ding ding~~~~”
The weapons collided, sending out a lot of sparks.
Long spears pierced the body, and bright red blood spurted out.
The cavalry crossed each other and hacked at each other, and soldiers fell from their horses every moment.
The bright red blood dyed the ground red, and the smell of blood in the air was nauseating.
"kill!"
In the center of the cavalry, Wei Qing held a sword and chopped off the head of an enemy general with one blow.
"kill!"
"Whoever kills the enemy general will be rewarded with 100 taels of silver!"
Wei Qing raised his arm and called out, which boosted the morale of the army.
Under his leadership, the Daqian cavalry fought bravely.
Gradually, the Arab cavalry could no longer resist and began to be defeated.
"Chase them, surround them, and don't let any of them escape."
Seeing this, Wei Qing immediately shouted coldly and led the army to chase and kill.
He had to make sure to wipe out all the Arab cavalry, otherwise if he let them run back, they would soon become enemies again.
While Wei Qing led the Daqian cavalry in pursuit, Lusk was leading his troops in a desperate resistance.
But at this time, the morale of the Arab army had been completely destroyed. No matter how hard Lusk tried, he could not stop the attack of Daqian.
The battle lasted only a dozen minutes before the defense line was broken and the Daqian soldiers rushed into the camp.
As the defense line was breached, the morale of the Arab army plummeted to the bottom, and some of the cowardly ones even surrendered directly.
The rest had no intention of resisting and fled in all directions.
Seeing this scene, Lusk's face turned pale, he knew it was over.
"General, hurry up and leave. We will cover your retreat."
Several bodyguards hurriedly tried to persuade him.
"Haha, go? Go that way, we're surrounded."
Lusk said bitterly, then turned to look behind him.
At this time, the battle between the cavalry of both sides had ended, and the Arab cavalry was completely defeated, either killed in battle or surrendered.
At this moment, countless Daqian cavalrymen are pressing towards the camp in a fan-shaped pattern.
No one can escape in this situation.
"Sound the horn and order the entire army to surrender."
Lusk sighed.
Since I have already been defeated, I will save my own life and the lives of my soldiers.
"promise!"
Following Lusk's order, the guards immediately blew the horn.
Hearing the horn, the Arab soldiers in the camp began to kneel down and surrender.
"General, the enemy has surrendered."
Li Mu came to Bai Qi and reported.
"Well, since you have surrendered, don't kill them indiscriminately." Bai Qi said lightly.
"Here!"
"Send orders to all tribes to accept surrender."
"Yes!"
As the order was given, the Daqian soldiers stopped killing.
Soon, the entire camp fell into complete silence, and all the remaining Arab soldiers were captured.
Lusk and a dozen generals were also escorted before Bai Qi.
"Lusk greets General." Lusk said respectfully.
"Are you Lusk?" Bai Qi asked.
"Yes," Lusk replied.
"I heard that you are well-known in the Arab world and quite strategic." Bai Qi said with a smile.
"I'm unworthy of this. In the end, I was defeated by the general!" Lusk said modestly.
"Haha, you don't have to be so polite. My victory today was only thanks to the power of artillery. It's nothing to worry about."
"Let's not talk about anything else. Since you have surrendered, I will naturally save your life. You can rest assured." Bai Qi waved his hand and said.
"Thank you, General." Lusk said quickly.
"Well, come here, take them away and take good care of them." Bai Qi ordered the personal soldiers beside him.
Soon Lusk and others were taken away.
"General Li, send a message to His Majesty, telling him that our troops have completely wiped out the enemy's northern army, and Commander Lusk has surrendered." Bai Qi said.
"Yes, I obey your command!"
......
On the other side, the Governor's House in Karachi.
"Your Majesty, good news! General Bai Qi won a great victory. The entire northern army of the Arabs was annihilated, and the commander-in-chief surrendered." A personal guard hurried over to report.
