King Telliga did not come, but in order to ensure the victory of this war, he asked his most trusted general Tiregen to attack with four thousand Kuti elites. Most of them were natives of the mountain tribes, and there were no Driving those Sumerian slaves out of fear that they would rebel.
This is already the majority of Ur City's strength, and they have an attitude that a quick victory is inevitable.
"My warriors are different from those of the Sumerians. It is said that Lagash can pull out an army of more than 10,000 people, but among these 10,000 people, only a thousand are estimated to be standing troops, and the rest are farmers and They are just craftsmen, and our four thousand soldiers are all brave and good at fighting. Even a legion of thirty thousand cannot defeat my soldiers."
"The total population of Tianfang City is just over 10,000. How many soldiers can we fight? Moreover, those villagers will not have any nostalgia for that city. When our army enters, they will disperse in a hurry! "
"I have never been afraid of enemies, let alone their knives and spears!"
Tiregen made bold words!
What's more, in this battle, there is a big gryphon and the help of five gods!
God-men are not gods, but people who have activated the bloodline of divine power. Here, they are called "demigods"!
Of course they could not attack Tianfang head-on. The Kuti people are a mountain people and are not very good at water, so it is impossible to build a pontoon bridge to cross the river. They also do not have this technology because there is not so much wood in the two river basins.
Ur City relies on water conservancy and transportation to earn a certain amount of wealth, whether it is the old Ur City or the new Ur City today.
Of course, the boats here are not entirely made of wood, but made of papyrus written by the Egyptians.
The Egyptians did not need papyrus boats, so they created papyrus. This ubiquitous thing became an important material for straw boats in the Mesopotamia. Because the Mesopotamians were accustomed to writing on clay tablets, No papyrus was created.
The carrying capacity of these straw boats is limited. A small boat can only carry three people at most. This does not include weapons and logistics. Therefore, the vast number of straw boats on the river go south along the current, and begin to turn when they reach the tributary area. The southern plain of Tianfang City landed.
The Kuti people crashed their straw boats on the mudflats, killing many bastards basking in the sun, but it doesn't matter now. The lives of bastards are not their lives, but the lives of Tianfang people are!
Four thousand Kuti warriors began to march to the north, and the sentinels from Tianfang soon discovered traces of the Kuti people.
Three hundred Yulin troops and four thousand Kuti warriors met unexpectedly on the southern plains!
A crow riding a flying sword supervises the army in the sky.
"What is that?"
When Tiregen saw the Yulin Army appear, he was stunned for a moment.
He did not see people, but saw human-shaped metal. In the winter morning, the armor was covered with fine water droplets, but soon as the sun rose, these water droplets were evaporated by the heat, and this The three hundred armored men also began to take action!
They lifted out some cylindrical objects and dropped some square trinkets inside.
"Chariot, rush over and see what they are doing!"
Tiregen shouted!
Suddenly a thunder exploded between heaven and earth!
Light flashed in front of my eyes, followed by a large amount of soil ejected, overturning countless people! The huge force spread outwards, and more than a dozen people were blown to pieces on the spot!
The donkey pulling the chariot flew out without even screaming, knocking down a group of warriors, and their flesh and blood was scattered on the ground like paste.
The first thunder rang out, followed by the second, third, and fourth!
Tiregen felt like he couldn't hear anything in his ears.
He was also affected, just as the chariot exploded.
Before his eyes, scenes of past glory seemed to be flashing.
He was a Kuti nobleman and was once a leader among the mountain tribes. He received the blessing of the moon god Sin, attacked the Akkadians and killed an unknown number of Akkadian nobles and soldiers. People regarded him as Afraid and awed.
He has a great reputation and reputation.
When people hear his name, they are so frightened that they become incontinent.
His memories continued, like a revolving door, he saw his relatives, his tribe, and King Telliga, and then his body fell heavily to the ground, half of his body was bloody and burned.
But the weapon in his hand was still tightly clenched. There were Kuti warriors around him who pulled him back and shouted something in panic, but he couldn't hear him. He wanted to speak, but all that came out of his mouth and ears was... Blood.
"Attack...attack!"
Tiregen cursed indistinctly.
Every time he said a word, a mouthful of blood would spurt out.
Fortunately, the blessing of the Moon God gradually took effect. Although his injury was serious, he began to be able to move. A force blessed him, making him stronger and more durable.
The blood flowing in his seven orifices also gradually stopped.
From a near-death situation, he stood up again.
But it makes him feel ashamed!
It was just the first time they met each other. Before he could figure out what the other party was doing, he had already lost his fighting power!
But the thunder was still ringing, and countless companions were blown to pieces. The opponent used those black things to exert amazing power, which was even comparable to the gods!
And the continuous bombings and deaths, those severed limbs and rotten flesh, finally made the Kuti people who were not afraid of death feel the terror of death for the first time!
Their morale is collapsing!
"Don't run away, you are brave Kuti warriors, for the moon god and the mountain god, for the wind god and the sun messenger, for the city of Ur, for King Telliga, for Kuti..."
Tiregen yelled, but his voice was drowned out by the sound of explosives around him.
The morale at the front has completely collapsed!
Even though the warriors at the back have not yet rushed to the front, the flesh and blood of the companions in the sky and earth still makes them look horrified and extremely fearful!
Their minds were thinking about moving forward, but their legs were shaking uncontrollably and they were retreating!
When the thunder resounds across the earth again!
Countless companions were turned into minced meat again. Even if some people overcame their fear and rushed forward, even if they broke through the bombing line, the other party would raise the musket in their hands in the next second.
The muskets emitted smoke, like an isolation belt, and all enemies within range fell down!
And even if there is an enemy who can barely break through the musket blockade, at least two crossbow arrows will hit his head in the next second.
Three hundred men, arranged in three columns, with artillery, muskets, and crossbows.
The battle started in just three minutes.
More than a quarter of the Kuti army was killed!
In ancient wars, those who suffered one-tenth of their casualties and could continue to attack were already strong; those who still had fighting spirit after one-fifth of their casualties were elites; and those who still fought after one-fifth of their casualties were still fighting. A tough soldier, and one who can continue fighting with more than half of his casualties is already at the level of a dead soldier.
A normal legion in the slave era would collapse if it couldn't bear even one tenth of the casualties, since most of them were made up of laborers, rabble-rousers, and slaves.
"The Kuti people did not collapse in the first wave and could continue to attack. They are worthy of the title of mountain people."
Yu Zai appeared not far behind with a telescope. Lagash's soldiers formed a convoy and looked at the massacre in front of them in horror and shock.
Three hundred people and four thousand people on the other side didn't even touch each other, and more than a thousand people died.
When it comes to a real close-quarters battle, one man can act as five barbarians. The key is that at that time, can the opponent still organize an offensive team of 1,500 people?
Yu Zai: "We are not here to be bullied. Once we take action, we are not praying for peace on earth, but calling for the use of weapons on the ground."
In front, five demigods appeared, as well as a huge gryphon, but that gryphon was now entangled with four little ones, wailing in the air.
"When gods and men join the war, it is no longer a war between mortals. This does not involve martial ethics."
"Then don't blame us."
Yu Zai picked up Emperor Kuang's war spear and prepared to do it himself!
But Dayi took the first step.
"Since they are gods, let me test them. The two gods in front seem to be powerful. I like them very much."
Dayi flew out, and the demigod named Enuma was knocked to the ground with a punch before he could react. Immediately afterwards, his frantic brother Eilish, who had just seen Dayi, punched him. Lying next to his brother.
The names of these two demigods, Enuma and Eilish, come from Akkadian. In the distant future, they will be recorded in the creation myths of the Babylonians and become attendants of the supreme god, and their names are closely related to each other. Get up, translated as: "The sky is high" or "When you are at the highest place"!
