From Soldier To Emperor

Chapter 359: 30,000 prisoners of war

Finally, the reserve team to protect Euan was sent out, including all the troops of the remaining Anatolian regiment!

The cannon fodder of the human servant army had been sent out in the previous battle, and naturally it had already been defeated...

The entire battlefield was full of mountains and plains, and there were all Ottoman human servant soldiers who had lost their establishment and fleeing. Richard's army was only left with the undead army and a group of walking corpses...

The Anatolian Legion deserves to be the most capable force of the Ottoman Expeditionary Army. First, it used a skillful alternate shooting method to break the bones of the Undead Legion to more than three digits, and then he insisted on holding the artillery captives. A volley of shotguns rushed up, fighting with the grave guards of the Undead Legion!

However, the Anatolian soldiers soon discovered that their swords were very difficult to hack to death guards from the grave!

However, those skeleton warriors couldn't resist the Ottoman stainless steel scimitar that Anatolian soldiers had cut with all their strength.

After all, the Anatolian Legion occupies an absolute advantage in strength. Not only the soldiers rushed up to fight melee, but also a large number of musketeers came back to the side to crackle and shoot at the skeleton warriors.

The two sides smashed blood in the artillery position, and it was not until the two-headed giant joined the battle that all the Anatolian legions that rushed up were completely annihilated!

At the end of the battle, all the skeleton warriors were exhausted in the front and back battles, leaving only thousands of tough grave guards standing on the battlefield.

It confirms that sentence-only enough meat can you live to the end...

However, even if the guards of the deserted graves are alive, most of the bone armors on their bodies are severely damaged. Going back requires a lot of corpse materials to be'repaired' to restore peak combat power.

The collapse of the Anatolian Legion marked the final victory of this battle. When the two-headed giant turned his gaze to Shuai Qi, You An had already rushed to the Ottoman Empire camp of the Shule offensive and defensive battle on his horse. …

The battlefield of the two sides has always been in the area guarded by the original back line of the Ottoman Expeditionary Army, and it has not affected the siege forces of the front-line Ottoman human servants...

In other words, You An still has twenty to thirty thousand combatable soldiers in his hands!

It was two or thirty thousand people. With the support of artillery and guns, the Ming army pressing down on Shule Army Town violently beat them and broke through the city wall several times, causing heavy losses to the defenders in Shule City...

It can be said that the Ottoman Expeditionary Force would not fail at all if it were not for the outrageous strength of Richard's Dao Soldiers and the Undead Army. The military strength gap between the two sides is really too big...

However, Richard, who was on the hook, was originally a bug that was used to break common sense. In You An's eyes and even all outsiders' eyes, the battle that must be won, was so confused and defeated...

Can You An think that an army of 100,000 will be defeated by less than 10,000?

This 100,000 army is not a militia temporarily armed by ordinary farmers, but an army that has received military training.

Although in the Ottoman Empire, except for the Anatolian Legion, the human servants were all ‘garden soldiers’ who farmed for soldiers during wartime, but they definitely received much more military training than traditional feudal countries!

The most important thing is that the human servant army of the Ottoman Empire has completed the transformation of firearms. It used not only the pinnacle of matchlock guns-Lumi guns, but also dozens of artillery that the Ming army did not build. The result is still Defeated...

The posture of the horsemen under Li Cha’s decisive charge until Euan fled back to the base of the siege army. People who are not afraid of death are not a big deal in the war. It’s not that Euan has never seen a lunatic charge. .

But not afraid of death, but also very strong in combat, which is very impressive.

Richard's Taoist soldiers can't help but remind Euan of the dark knight who once swept the battlefield in the old world!

Although the opponent did not reach the strength of the Dark Knight, they played the power of the Dark Knight!

You An, who returned to the siege camp, immediately ordered the stop of the attack on Shule City, even though the Ottoman human siege troops had attacked the city wall again when the order was given, and were fighting with the Ming army defending the city...

Afterwards, under the order of Youan, all the remaining Ottoman army did not even need the siege artillery. After destroying all the artillery and turning them into scrap metal, they hurriedly began to retreat.

Even an army of 100,000 can't beat Richard, let alone the current 20,000 to 30,000?

What's more, the Anatolian Legion, the most capable of fighting in Euan's hand, has been defeated!

On the battlefield, the more fierce the resistance, the more severe the deaths and injuries of the elites tended to be. The Anatolian Legion that Euan brought over has basically lost hope of reorganization. On the contrary, it was defeated in succession by the ordinary human servant army and gathered a large number. Defeated soldiers.

In fact, while U'an was retreating with the remaining troops, there was a steady stream of scattered and even small-organized human servants joining along the way. After twenty to thirty thousand troops fled to the stable rear city, UU read www.uukanshu. In just one week, com relied on gathering the routs to restore the scale to 60,000 people!

As for the rest, they were naturally captured by the victorious Richard Undead Army!

The grave guard is an undead soldier with endless physical strength. A single grave guard can easily suppress hundreds of fleeing prisoners of war.

These Ottoman soldiers did not have the will to resist at all. Few people resisted after being overtaken. Even if they resisted in the hands of the guards of the deserted graves, they would be instantly dropped...

Finally, excluding the Ottoman human servants that were killed, Richard captured a total of more than 30,000 human prisoners of war.

They are all ethnic faces from Central Asia, and they look completely different from the Han people, and there is a big gap between the appearance of the Bisemu people and the Han people!

Most of them are Arabs and Persians.

During the centuries of rule of the Ottoman Empire, many ethnic minorities in Central Asia and West Asia were integrated into the Persian and Arab tribes named by the region.

This is mainly because the official forces of the Ottoman Empire refer to the entire Arabian Peninsula as Arabs. Over time, naturally, the various ethnic groups on the Arabian Peninsula consider themselves Arabs...

The ruling area of ​​Central Asia was officially designated as Persian by the Ottoman Empire. In the same way, the various ethnic groups here gradually merged and evolved into Persians.

After all, there is no so-called nationalism in this era. The vast majority of what people call themselves comes from the concept of territory and official propaganda of the country.

It is as if the people under the rule of Tang Dynasty claimed to be Han people, after a long time, the original Hu people's descendants regarded themselves as Han people...

But if the difference in looks is too large, this kind of ethnic integration will become difficult. After all, people's first sense of identity comes from vision.

This is also the main reason why it is difficult for humans from North Africa in the Ottoman Empire to be integrated into Arabs or Persians.
