The Rhapsody of Mounted Blade Players

As a result, not long after he lay down, two Qingqi scouts rushed back and brought him a letter.

This letter was sent by Sega Khan of the Kugit Khanate. Sultan Hakim opened the envelope and read the letter. He was surprised to find that the emperor of the Qinglong Empire actually divided his troops.

Hakeem Sultan immediately decided to take the initiative and annihilate one of the opponent's armies. After all, each opponent's army only had 50,000 troops, so he still had a chance to win.

In fact, he had already been in contact with Saiga Khan of the Kugit Khanate and King Graves of the Rhodok Kingdom, and he had always wanted to get those two to raise an army with him to resist the Azure Dragon Empire.

It's a pity that those two guys seemed to be completely discouraged by the Qinglong Empire, and they have been using various excuses to evade.

Hakeem Sultan then understood that the two old foxes would never take action unless his side achieved some results.

Therefore, he must fight this battle. Now that he knows that the enemy's troops have been divided, he will naturally seize the opportunity to send troops.

And those soldiers were very happy when they heard that they could finally have a happy battle with the enemy. After all, running around like mice all day long was really frustrating.

Early the next morning, the army led by Yang Zhi discovered traces of the enemy. This made him secretly happy, thinking that this time this great achievement would finally fall into his own hands!

While he ordered the army to start deploying on the spot, he sent several reconnaissance airships to detect the enemy's movements.

After discovering the airship floating in the sky, Hakeem Sultan also knew that he should have been discovered by the enemy, so he immediately ordered his soldiers to start a rapid march, making sure to kill the enemy before they fully deployed their formation.

Unfortunately, Yang Zhi was very cautious. The scouts he sent discovered the enemy's traces early. By the time Hakeem Sultan arrived with his troops, Yang Zhi had already asked his soldiers to set up their positions.

Hakim Sultan was already on the verge of firing, so even if he saw that the enemy had already set up a formation, he could only bite the bullet and launch an attack.

Unfortunately, before they could get very far, they were bombarded by the enemy's heavy artillery. Every time a shell fell, it would kill and blow up dozens of soldiers. Even the earth seemed to be trembling under the devastation of the artillery fire.

After witnessing the power of the Azure Dragon Empire's firearms, Sultan Hakeem finally understood why Sega Khan and King Graves had been reluctant to take action. Facing such a powerful firearm, even the bravest warrior cannot resist it!

Just when Hakeem Sultan had these realizations in his mind, a cannonball landed not far from him. Seeing this, his guard captain hurriedly jumped out from his horse and killed Hakeem at his speed. He threw down the war horse and at the same time protected Hakeem Sultan with his own body.

After the violent explosion, the guard was badly beaten and died on the spot. Although Hakeem Sultan was not killed, his left calf was hit by a shrapnel, and the calf bone was almost broken. , the pain made Hakeem Sultan scream repeatedly.

Just when he was trying to push away the body of the guard captain and get up from the ground, an ownerless war horse suddenly ran past him, and one of the horse's hoofs stepped on the sole of his right foot. The soles of his feet were crushed into meat patties. The pain was so painful that Hakeem Sultan fainted on the spot.

Since Sultan Hakim had already issued an order for a full-scale attack beforehand, even though the Sultan was injured and unconscious, other soldiers of the Saland Sultanate still did not stop the attack. A large number of soldiers were still attacking the enemy in a steady stream. Rushed to the military position.

There are well-equipped Mamluks, Salander Sultan guards and Salander elite archers who are well-equipped with men and horses, as well as poorly equipped Salander recruits wearing only thin cloth and holding short spears.

However, no matter whether they are well-equipped or poorly equipped, strong or weak, as long as they are hit by falling shells, they will all be blown into bloody corpses.

Soon, in addition to the artillery, rockets also began to fall from the sky one after another.

In order to unify the continent of Calradia as soon as possible, Ye Tianlong took out all the money he had this time, so each unit had sufficient ammunition, such as the unit led by Yang Zhi, those powerful rockets There are more than 500 rounds of ammunition.

At this time, Yang Zhi also implemented the will of his Majesty the Emperor, without saving at all, and launched all these rockets in just ten minutes.

Under the fierce bombardment of heavy artillery and rockets, the enemy troops dropped at least 40,000 corpses along the way.

However, the nightmare of these enemy soldiers was not over yet. When they finally rushed within 500 meters of the enemy position, a large number of small-caliber artillery in the position began to roar amidst Yang Zhi's roar.

Under the heavier rain of bullets, the Mamluk heavy cavalry at the front were quickly knocked down in pieces.

Yang Zhi looked at this scene, but couldn't help but smiles appeared on his face. After all, one general's achievements have caused thousands of bones to wither. Without the corpses of these enemies scattered everywhere, how could he be promoted!

After more than 20,000 of the most elite Mamluk heavy cavalry were completely wiped out, the remaining enemy troops actually had no possibility of victory. As they continued to flow towards the Qinglong Empire's position, the people on the position The sound of gunfire also became denser.

Although the soldiers of the Salander Sultanate continued to charge without fear of death, they were never able to cause any effective damage to the enemy. They only once again approached the enemy's position some distance away.

But this was meaningless. With the continuous firing and bombing of various weapons such as rifles, heavy machine guns, and grenades, these soldiers of the Saland Sultanate were just as Yang Zhi expected. Corpses were everywhere in front of the position, and blood was flowing everywhere. pestle!

After the casualties exceeded the 100,000 mark, the elite soldiers of the Salander Sultanate were finally almost dead. How could the remaining recruits who had just been recruited have the courage to continue fighting! One by one, they dropped their weapons and started running wildly.

When Yang Zhi saw that the enemy troops were beginning to flee, he immediately led more than a thousand cavalry under his command to pursue them.

As for the infantry, they quickly dismantled the original vehicle formation into carriages, then got on the carriages and began to follow the cavalry to pursue the fleeing enemy troops.

These recruits had marched for a long distance because of Hakeem Sultan's order, and then they had exhausted a lot of energy in charging all the way. At this time, under the increasingly blazing sun, they were all panting and running faster and faster. Slowly, in the end, many people were so tired that they lay down directly regardless of the hot gravel on the ground.

Seeing Yang Zhi leading the cavalry in pursuit, these enemy soldiers did not get up, but weakly shouted to Yang Zhi and others: "I surrender!"

Yang Zhi looked at these enemy troops who had completely lost their ability to resist, and did not continue to kill him. He just asked the infantrymen in the rear to speed up and come to take a look at these prisoners, while he led the cavalry to continue the pursuit, vowing to capture Naha alive. Kim Sultan.

It was a pity that Yang Zhi had been chasing him all morning and almost suffered from heatstroke due to being chased by him. However, he found no trace of Hakeem Sultan at all.

When he led his tired cavalry back to join the army, he saw Shi Wengong calling for medical soldiers to treat a middle-aged man with injured legs.

After some questioning, Yang Zhi learned that the middle-aged man was actually Hakeem Sultan. Shi Wengong led another army to join Yang Zhi's army, and just strolled around the battlefield. I found Hakeem Sultan who had just woken up and was trying to crawl out from among a pile of corpses.

When Shi Wengong saw the other person wearing a set of gorgeous golden fish scale armor, he guessed that this guy must be a big shot, so he immediately captured him.

After an interrogation after returning to the camp, it was discovered that the other party was actually Hakeem Sultan, which made Shi Wengong very happy. After all, this was equivalent to a great achievement in vain!

After Yang Zhi learned all this, he was so angry that he wanted to vomit blood. At the same time, he wondered whether he and Lin Chong were really the unlucky guy No. 1 and the unlucky guy No. 2 as His Majesty the Emperor said. Otherwise, all the credit would be taken away by others!

Ye Tianlong didn't know that Yang Zhi now really began to suspect that he was an unlucky guy. After receiving the news that the Salander Sultanate army had been annihilated, he was filled with joy. After all, with the destruction of the Salander Sultanate, the continent of Calradia will finally be reunited after hundreds of years of division!

And it was only at this time that his name as the Azure Dragon Empire was worthy of its name. Before, the territory was too small and it was not qualified to be called an empire at all.

Ye Tianlong, who had a huge sense of urgency in his heart, the first thing he did after unifying the continent of Calradia was to continue the violent attack.

This time he mainly recruited and trained cavalry. He had enough infantry in the Azure Dragon Empire, but the cavalry had always been a bit insufficient. After all, who said the Nord Kingdom, where he originally made his fortune, was so poor! The most lacking thing there is excellent war horses. He now has more than 5,000 cavalry, and most of the war horses were obtained by him from all over the country by asking Nanny Cha!

But now it's better, and the land most suitable for raising horses has been taken into his possession. Ye Tianlong decided to use all the plains of the Kingdom of Swadia and the grasslands of Kugit as horse farms to graze horses.

In this way, his Qinglong Empire can harvest at least 20,000 to 30,000 outstanding war horses every year. In addition to these almost visible future benefits, Ye Tianlong quickly increased the number of cavalry under his command to about 20,000 just by relying on the enemy war horses captured during the Unification War. As for the expansion of infantry recruitment, there was not much expansion, so in the end the total number of troops under his command only increased to more than 500,000.

However, these more than 500,000 are regular soldiers, and the militia has more than 800,000. After all, the continent of Calradia has just been unified, so the die-hard loyalists of the original kingdoms are not yet dead! From time to time, some Zionists will appear, so a large number of militiamen are needed everywhere to maintain law and order and suppress those rebellions.
