Chapter 72 Xhosa Raiders (3) Battle of Taman City (2)

This time, in the afterglow of the sunset, the Shattered Ye Army took the lead in launching.

Yuanfeng was among the thousand cavalry behind him. He personally led the heavy cavalry and five hundred light cavalry, but these thousand cavalry were carrying powerful crossbows when they came out!

Yuanfeng's mind was indeed as Solomon thought. It was not that he could not attack the city. For the Shaw Ye Army, who had entered the age of firearms, there was a way to break through any castle, but Sun Xiurong gave him the order to siege the city and attack the aid. He had only one camp, and obviously he could only siege the city, so there were naturally others who attacked the aid.

When he sent the Yu Hou army to patrol everywhere, he learned that Bai Xiaode was personally leading six regular battalions to attack westward on the North Caucasus land, he must have known that Bai Xiaode was the one who attacked the aid.

Therefore, it was his goal to further reduce the enemy's persistence before Bai Xiaode arrived.

“Woo…”

The long bronze trumpet was blown.

The 500 crossbowmen and 1,000 cavalry raised the powerful crossbows in their hands!

"call out......"

When all the sounds of the bending strings gather together, a muffled sound is made, like the muffled sound of a huge but flat-bottomed stone hitting the ground.

This time, one thousand cavalry and five hundred crossbowmen were holding powerful crossbows, and the arrow branches used were also heavy armor-breaking cones!

This kind of arrow is a powerful tool to deal with chain mail, because with human craftsmanship at this time, it is too difficult to make a pair of high-quality chain mail. If the strength of this pair of chain mail is still passed, it will be even more difficult. Therefore, a normal chain mail is mainly used to defend against enemy slashes and ordinary spearheads.

At this time, the West, including the nomadic tribes who moved here, used bows and arrows, which were mostly single bows with a force less than one stone. Such arrow branches were not natural when they encountered the chain mail, but if the armor-breaking cone arrow branches were released on a powerful crossbow with three and a half stones, it would be a different scene.

One thousand five hundred armor-breaking cone arrows were like a swarm of extremely fast flying locusts, and they instantly arrived over the Goths. At this time, except for a few of the so-called heavy infantrymen, most of them had chain armor helmets, and then put a leather cow helmet on it. The cow helmets were not used for defense, but for scary people.

In all polytheistic myths, cattle occupy an important position, and the Goths before converting to Judaism are no exception.

At this time, if there is slow motion, you will see:

The locust swarm first slowly rose, then seemed to stagnate for a while, then suddenly fell rapidly, and finally it seemed to have a "punch" sound on the Goths' heads!

"flutter!"

"ah?!"

The armor-breaking cone arrow easily drilled into the gap in the chain mail, and when drilling into the human body, it also pulled off the thin iron ring of the chain mail.

In an instant, the Goths' tight and neat formation suddenly became sparse. At this time, the formation of the Shattered Ye Army started to move!

While they were moving slowly, they could continue to shoot forward. When the distance between the two armies was only twenty meters, the Goths formation was already in chaos. If it weren't for the other side's cavalry, they would have run away long ago.

As the saying goes, what you are afraid of will come from, Yuanfeng keenly captured this fighter jet!

His five hundred cavalry took the lead in launching!

Five hundred cavalrymen were wearing new thick cotton armor, war horses were wearing ordinary cotton armor, and heavy cavalry with tiger spears in one hand and short crossbows in the other rushed out from both sides of the infantry formation!

For heavy cavalry troops, if you don’t move, you will be shocking!

The entire Taman City seemed to be shaking!

"flutter!!!"

It was the sound of the Gothic heavy infantry hit by heavy cavalry falling to the ground. The two heavy cavalry teams looked like two huge waves in the Black Sea. After the rush, the beach was in a mess.

At this time, even the infantry that did not want to run began to run, but at this time the five hundred light cavalry began to act!

If the sound of heavy cavalry running by is like muffled thunder, the movement of light cavalry running is like a strong wind. After the strong wind, the wind blows away the remaining clouds!

At this time, the infantry began to speed up their pace. They intercepted and killed the Gothic troops in a squad, capturing the fleeing Gothic troops...

Until it gets completely dark!

......

The anticipated battle ended at the beginning, and Solomon staggered down the wall.

At this moment, he began to think calmly.

"According to the news from Suwut, the army in the east had six general flags and a big banner. The words on it all pointed to Bai Xiaode, the governor of Atlau, which was six teams of three thousand people. At present, the Gothic heavy infantry, who have always been known for their strong combat power, could not even deal with one battalion of others, so how could they defeat the six battalions?"

"Six battalions!"

Thinking that there were only more broken leaves coming from Baku Port connected to land, Solomon became really anxious.

"Even if reinforcements come, can they be worth it?"

Finally, I thought, "We are just Jews living in Europe. We have been wandering for thousands of years. Since we lost Jerusalem, we have not really own territory. We originally persuaded the entire Khonar to convert to Judaism to Judaism and thought it was the beginning of the rebirth of the Jews. Unexpectedly, there would be disasters again in this good life just a few years later!"

"Is this the fate of the Jews? God, how long will you test your loyal people?"

"What happens if the Sailing Ye Army surrenders? Everyone says that in the territory of the Great Qin Kingdom, all kinds of beliefs are very free. Although it is still dominated by the very heavenly Taoism, there are markets for polytheism, Zoroastrianism, polytheism, and Christianity. The King of Qin did not force the ban. It would be better to surrender to them..."

I thought again: "It's not appropriate. After really surrendering to the Great Qin State, we Jews became ordinary members and would not receive as much attention as in the Khanate of Kossa. What's more, in Baicheng, Derbint, Kossa, Shakr, Astra Fort, the Khanate also has elite troops, and there are no mediocre generals who lead the troops."

"Although the Sacred Ye Army came in a fierce momentum, there was a long border line to connect with the Dashi Kingdom in the south, so it was necessary to arrange a large army defense. The military strength this time was probably not too much. Bai Xiaode was a famous general of the Daqin Kingdom, and he only brought six battalions. To the south was Ma Lin's world. The two of them were almost the same, so they were calculated based on the six battalions."

"To put it further, there are at most ten battalions in each place, which is 60,000 people and 60,000 people. If all the mobilizations are carried out in our country, at least 150,000 people can be taken out!"

"At this time, I guess the king has issued an emergency mobilization order."

......

Baicheng.

The Great Khan Brans of the Khanate who was being talked about by Solomon was not afraid of the urgent situation of war. At this time, in front of him, the Khanate Prime Minister and the eighty-year-old former Carthage Judaism rabbi were talking endlessly.

Brans was tall and calm, with black curly hair. He was fifty years old, but he didn't have a single white hair mixed in it, showing his excellent mentality.

Ten years ago, his strength was not as strong as that of the Xianbei Tengjis, but he could tolerate it. He had been waiting for an opportunity to completely incorporate those Alan people who were similar to the Blue Turks but had different beliefs, Chechin people, Mazar people, and Pecheneg people who had completely incorporated them into their own camp.

As for the remaining troops of the Hun Empire who scattered after Attila's death, most of them were focused on Tenghis, but once the above-mentioned Turkic divisions were completely surrendered to him, he could turn over.

Fortunately, he met Adam, a seventy-year-old man, and he still remembered what he said to him just met Adam.

"Khan, what you need is money, slaves, land, and Tengis also owns it, but the tribe needs to use money to win over it. With money, you can build weapons and build castles. I, Adam, Carthage from Afilga, have a lot of money, and can disperse all your family's wealth to support you. If Khan is willing to convert to Judaism, I can also persuade the thousands of Jews who left Carthage to give you half of their wealth to Khan."

“How many are there?”

"Enough to make the Alan, the Aval, the Chechin vote to you, we are all businessmen, knowing their preferences, what is their greatest preference? It is gold, and I, just so happen to provide these gold."

From that time on, Brans made up his mind to convert to Judaism.

To him, the immortal heaven and God are just a symbol.

As Adam expected, with the Alan and Aval (who stayed in the Caucasus), the Chechin completely surrendered to him, and immediately caused a chain reaction in the North Caucasus and the north. First, the Pechenegs fell to him, and later the Mazar people, who were closest to Tengis, also lowered their heads to him.

After these two major parts surrendered, the North Caucasus lost its foothold in Tengis.

Then it completely abolished the Ashin family, which had nominally ruled the Xhosa for hundreds of years. That thing was actually natural and it didn't take him any effort.

He opened his eyes suddenly. In front of him, the eighty-year-old Adam was also fearless. Although his hair was all white, his face was still very rosy and his words were very energetic. The key was that what he was saying made Brans completely relieve his heart.

"Sweat, don't be afraid"

"In the past, the great cannibals came from the fourth route of the Black Sea, the Caspian Sea, the Baku, and the Tbilisi. A total of 200,000 troops came together, but in the end they returned in vain. The only Chen Guo was to destroy the city of Balungar. Now the Qin people only had one Batuan Port on the west route, and only a small fleet and a camp. They could only occupy a certain castle at most without affecting the overall situation."

"Taman Port is the third largest city in our country and is not so easy to be captured, not to mention that there is Curtis' army in the west."

"Besides, Derbint and Baicheng are both tall and strong cities. The garrisons in the city have sufficient food and supplies. This battle can be supported even if it lasts for two years. If the Sacred Ye Army attacks our country before the autumn harvest, the old ministers are indeed a little worried. However, they launched an offensive after the autumn harvest, and now most of the autumn grains have been collected into the granary."

"Most of them are still in the five major cities of Baicheng, Derbint, Kosa, Shakel, and Astraborg. If they want to plunder, they can only go to the countryside. I have inquired about it. The Leaf Army has always claimed to be kind and righteous. They came this time with the intention of completely taking down the North Caucasus. In this way, they would never go to the countryside to plunder at the beginning."

"So, they could only consume their own military rations. If the war was delayed, they would face two problems. One was food and grass. At this time, they would not care about that much and could only go to the countryside to rob, so the reputation they had finally accumulated dropped sharply."

"Secondly, the Great Cannibals will never be on the sidelines in this situation. They have been defeated by the Shattered Ye Army many times, so how can they not take the opportunity to retaliate? The elite of the Shattered Ye Army is concentrated at the junction with our country and the Great Cannibal. If the war here lasts for a long time, they will have to increase their troops here. At that time, Mansour's opportunity will come."

"Believe in old ministers, Mansour, who can kill Bingbosilin, is definitely not a good man."
