832 Sword refers to Damascus 3
The big food army rushed to garrison in Lekhba Army Town because there is a water source here, which is not available in other places, and the entire northeastern desert can be monitored here, so the army is placed here. The army of Li You was discovered three days ago. As for the station of this army, it was also discovered last night by the detective horse of the eclipse. After all, there is no shelter in the vast desert, so it can be far away. See the fire.
Had it not been for the large number of eateries and it would be difficult to integrate them into an army in time, I am afraid that they would not arrive here early in the morning. According to the idea of this offensive, the hordes of the eater should all come out. When the war begins, The left and right wings are attacked by cavalry, and the front is attacked by infantry. It is also because the infantry is slow, so the entire army has only arrived now.
Of course, even if the cavalry is courageous, they dare not attack alone. The cavalry is only 30,000, plus 10,000 camel soldiers, and 40,000. It is still very difficult to rely on 40,000 people to attack at night. After all, Kufa The cavalry commander Badista has already said about his experience. Without the cooperation of the infantry, tens of thousands of cavalry could not withstand the toss of the other side.
As for the commander-in-chief Ishag who led the battle this time, he did not want to let the cavalry fight alone. After all, if he wanted to win the first battle, the whole army had to suppress it. This kind of victory would be even greater. If you really want to send the cavalry alone. , In case of defeat, it will be difficult to fight in the future.
Li You put the carriage into a rectangle, on three sides, some musketeers and crossbowmen defended the back of the army. Generally speaking, there will be no big problems. The key depends on whether the front and two wings can be protected. , Don’t look at your own side with sophisticated weapons and mighty powers, but the opponent has a huge amount of black pressure, and has a huge advantage in numbers. In the end, no one knows what the battle will be. Even Li You thinks so. Yes, because there is too much uncertainty on the battlefield.
On the front, Maro Ono and Takechi Naganobu, seeing a large army of this size, still beat the drums in their hearts. They are all like this, let alone ordinary soldiers. No one has seen such a formation. Many people. Even people who have experienced war countless times are a little flustered.
Li You climbed onto the high platform of the carriage and shouted loudly: "If the word goes on, the food army is a weak group. Although there are many in number, you can't help but fight. You are the strongest. Let these big cannibals see who is talented. You are the real warriors, and who is the real strong army. Basra and Kufa can be easily obtained by you. Then these people, you can still easily defeat them, you must bring a haughty and ambitious heart to let each other feel Until you are strong, you will surely win."

"Sure victory, sure victory..." After Li You shouted, the soldiers yelled out.
At the other end, the food army commander Ishaq also rode on the horse and shouted to all the sergeants: "My brave soldiers, when you face all the difficulties and hardships, Allah will stand by your side. Protect your peace. Now, there are people who want to destroy our homeland, blaspheme our true God, and destroy our faith. What are you going to do when facing such a group of evil people?"
"Fight to death, fight to death... ."
After the deafening slogan was shouted, the commander-in-chief Ishag went on to shout again: "Warriors, Allah will bless her people and her warriors. All true believers will live until He goes to the beautiful kingdom of heaven. Next, it will be up to you how you can prove your worth and loyalty to the true God of faith."
Afterwards, the clergy accompanying the army began to bless. This kind of ritual is not very common, but once this kind of ritual is in place, the soldiers need to win each other's lives. This represents the call of the gods and her reward. Even though he can't prove his piety when he is dead, he can still be forgiven and blessed by the true God, which is another form that can lead to the realm of heaven.
"Lord, what do you mean by the other side? Why don't we attack, we are all waiting a little impatient." Wang Yanzhang really didn't expect that he had already prepared for battle here, but after two quarters of an hour, there was no movement from the other side. He couldn't bear it, so he ran to Li You to inquire.
"Don't worry, come soon, haven't you seen them chanting together just now?"
As soon as Li You finished speaking, Dong Kui also ran over, and said with a smile and said, "Lord, there is so dense over there, we can also hook the artillery, whether..."
After thinking about it a little bit, Li You said, "Okay, it's about time anyway. It's boring to hide and tuck. You can take care of the artillery. I just watch the excitement."
Dong Kui was pleased with this, and ran away after a salute. In his opinion, he had prepared thousands of explosive bombs and he hadn't used it much. It would be a pity not to take advantage of this opportunity to throw them out.
As soon as the blessing ceremony on the side of the food army was completed, I heard the scream above my head, followed by the sound of a cannon from a distance. At the same time, the cannonball had fallen down. After a series of explosions, The army is in chaos.
Ishag and the other leading generals were really a little dumbfounded. They didn’t expect that they would have been bombed from such a distance. Akberinamu and Ziyad Ibn had talked about it back then. But no one really believed it, who would believe it, it would be hit two miles away, and now it won’t work if you don’t believe it.
Afterwards, Ishag ordered General Kemari to go to war. They really went all the way along the bombing in this battle. The front army was less than one mile away from the enemy's car formation, but it was them. Nothing happened, but the sound of explosions from the back array kept coming.
The cavalry moved quickly, and they had already begun to encircle the two wings. Ten thousand camel soldiers were heavy archers. They followed behind the cavalry, and all they had to do was to cooperate with the cavalry to attack. The front infantry was also divided into three teams as a whole, attacking three sides in three different directions.
On Li You’s side, the artillery fired in an instant, whether it was a field gun, a rifled gun, or even a cast gun, until the food army struggled all the way to a range of about 200 meters, the four-stone ship used a heavy crossbow. The firing began. As for the Musketeers, they had already opened fire.
On the carriage, Zhou Huanzhong was holding his flanks and looking at the battlefield. He was shaking straight and couldn't say a word. Li You pulled him down and hid him when a feather arrow shot into the carriage.
This time, the food army is launching an offensive without fear of death. It can be described as one step forward, but Li You knows that when the battle damage reaches a certain level and cannot be won, the battle is over. But whether he can keep it on his side depends on whether any accidents happen.
Of course, this is just a bad plan. In theory, there is no army that can attack. After all, among these people, there are 10,000 full-time archers. There are these people. It is really too much to want to get close. It's difficult. (End of this chapter)
