Lord of Riders
Chapter 287: Siege
Except for some small hills and ridges on the Kujit grassland, all the grasslands of Mapingchuan are missing.
The army of the Salander Sultanate is still dominated by infantry. In the event of a defeat, it is very difficult to withdraw from the battlefield.
The armies of the two sides have already fought together. The armies of the Kujit Khanate and the Shao Ming Kingdom are all cavalry, and the army of the Salander Sultanate simply cannot escape the pursuit of the two forces.
Sultan Hakim had no choice but to change his strategy, leaving the infantry behind and the cavalry to retreat with him.
Originally, Sultan Hakim wanted to cut off the cavalry, intercept the chaser, and wait for the main infantry to run away, and then allow the cavalry to retreat, but now I see that not only the infantry can’t get off, but all the cavalry must be here.
After a brief thought, Hakim Sultan decisively ordered the cavalry to retreat.
Of course, there are not many cavalry left. Among the 40,000 remnants, there are less than 10,000 cavalry left. It can be said that this battle was a complete defeat.
As soon as Sultan Hakim's decision came out, it was immediately communicated.
The cavalry hurriedly withdrew from the battlefield, withdrew from the front line, allowing the infantry behind to fill it up. These cavalrymen are not the opponents of Shao Ming Kingdom's iron cavalry at all, and fighting here is sending them to death.
The infantry behind came up to die, but everyone would rather others die.
As for the consciousness of who will go to **** if I don't go to hell, it doesn't exist. There is only one life, and no one wants to die here.
But as soldiers, they can only execute orders.
The infantry were quite reluctant, and even pushed to the battlefield desperately in their hearts.
The Salander infantry had only a few throwing spears, and they had to use the spears behind them to fight the enemy.
Despite the defeat, the soldiers of the Salander Sultanate are still regular troops that have undergone training and fighting. They are not like the enlisted militias that will be collapsed. Although they know that they will die, their duty as soldiers has stabilized them on the battlefield.
"Soldiers, hold on, we must cover the retreat of Sudan!" A little lord still rode behind the soldiers and shouted loudly to encourage them.
But this form of cheering will end here. A crossbow arrow shot through the guy's neck, and the guy who sold the mouth died on the spot.
"Your Majesty! Hakim is going to take the cavalry to escape, I will lead the Modao knights to chase them!" Fatis discovered Sultan Hakim's intentions and offered to ask.
"No, don't chase the poor!" Shao Yu waved his hand and said
"Let the order go on and besiege the infantry who were abandoned by them. Don't let them go, don't stop the attack, don't chase the ruined army," Shao Yu finished and ordered.
The infantry has nowhere to go, but the Salanders, who are desert nomads, live in an extremely harsh environment, so their personalities are naturally more aggressive and aggressive. Although they are surrounded and desperate, they have nowhere to escape. They are still fighting stubbornly here. NS. There is no sense of defeat and surrender.
Every nation has its own beliefs, a nation without beliefs. It's not far from extinction.
This is not to say that a nation with a firm belief will not be perished, but if there is a belief, the soldiers of a country will be more proficient in fighting and not afraid of death.
Of course, many people think that the celestial people are people who have no faith, and that the celestial people are selfish and vulgar. However, the Great Heavenly Dynasty has really stood firm from thousands of years ago to the present day. The powerful Heavenly Dynasty culture has continuously assimilated neighboring countries and nations, forming a stronger and more stable Greater China.
The celestial people believe in the doctrine of the mean, and they like to pay attention to harmony. Once a foreign enemy invades, the people of the celestial dynasty will become fierce and combative. The dynasty is as weak as the Song and emphasizes culture and despise military affairs, but can still stand upright for hundreds of years under the attack of many northern powers. Place.
As the old saying goes, it is appropriate to hang the head between the barbarians' mansion to show thousands of miles. Those who violate the heavenly father will be punishable even though they are far away!
Although the people of the celestial dynasty were seriously weak in modern times and the system was rotten, they still did not give up resisting foreign invasions.
Even with repeated defeats and battles, the celestial dynasty still did not give up fighting. If you want to say that a country has fought a war with the major powers in the world, it is only the celestial dynasty.
Even though powerful enemies are standing by and weak in power, the people of the Heavenly Dynasty still dared to fight to the end with the invading enemy. Although there were some scumbags during the period, it still couldn't conceal the tenacious will of the Great Heaven.
If it were not for the disaster of national extinction, resistance would not stop.
The nomads turned to the eagle and hungry wolves from the grassland, and in the end, none of them finally contended the Great Heavenly Dynasty.
Powerful people such as Xianbei, Khitan, Huns, and Turks will not be defeated and fled by the Great Tian Dynasty. They will find another place, or they may choose to sweep Europe or build an empire. In short, they will no longer oppose the Tian Dynasty, otherwise they will be annexed by the Tian Dynasty and disappear in history. In the long river.
This is the function of faith. The ancients said that the protector of the country, the king and his ministers, the meat-eaters will seek it; the protector of the world, the humiliation and responsibility of each husband.
In short, everyone is responsible for the rise and fall of the world. This is the belief of the people of the celestial dynasty.
Although the wild inhabitants of these deserts will not have such a high level of consciousness, they also have their own beliefs.
Seeing that these had been completely defeated, the army was still able to regain combat effectiveness. Although it was not strong, it at least showed that some things were still supporting their beliefs.
Thinking of this, Shao Yu suddenly thought of it. It seems that the Calradia continent has no unity at all. The prevailing beliefs, even if they are enveloping gods, are weak beliefs, just like before the exam. It's a joke to ask the Buddha to be like ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ Can we unify Calradia on a spiritual level, just like Europe under the rule of the Pope! "Shao Yu suddenly had this idea in his mind
I knew how powerful the power of faith is. Countless crazy believers in history gave their lives for a completely random religious reason.
For example, what God needs you to die
People who have no life guarantee most need spiritual comfort. The Calradia continent is in the flames of war all the time, so everyone has to face death from heaven at any time. Letting them die safely became a plan in Shao Yu's mind.
Perhaps this is an act of deception, but Shao Yu believes that the people of Calradia need such a lie.
Why the various religions in ancient times can become popular is not only because the people at that time are ignorant, but also because they need such beliefs eagerly.
The offensive of the Iron Army was significantly weakened. After the cavalry of the Salander Sultanate evacuated, the Shao Ming Kingdom soon joined the cavalry of the Kujit Khanate to completely surround the remaining infantry.
