Chapter 1431, unexpected
James originally thought that this Middle East coalition trapped in Turkmenabad would launch a crazy attack on Turkmenabad before it was exhausted after the retreat was cut off, because only by breaking down Turkmenabad City would they have hope of survival.
He has also made preparations to use the city of Turkmenabad to greatly consume the enemy's vitality, and then cooperate with the Sosa Warhammer's cavalry regiment to attack the back and forth to annihilate the enemy in one fell swoop.
However, something unexpected happened soon.
The Middle Eastern player coalition, whose siege equipment has been assembled, did not launch an attack on Turkmenabad City.
As a fire ignited on the periphery of Turkmenabad City, with the help of the fire, the millions of Middle Eastern coalition forces stationed on the edge of the desert disappeared in an instant.
Through the report of the Seraph Scout, it turned out that after the enemy stacked all the siege equipment and burnable items outside the city, they immediately drilled into the vast sea of sand without looking back.
After learning that millions of enemy troops had all entered the Karakum Desert, even James, who had been through many battles, was stumped.
He racked his brains and couldn't figure out why the enemy chose such a path of no return.
Because if it were him, he would definitely focus on attacking Turkmenabad City.
Because only in this way can they see a glimmer of hope and enter the vast sea of sand, it is no different from dying.
Although Sosa Warhammer had just led a cavalry to successfully cross the Karakum Desert, it was mainly due to the powerful reconnaissance system of the Condor Empire and the powerful heavy-bearing troops such as Centaur Warriors, and they also explored the way in advance.
James doesn't think that the enemy also has this ability, and the enemy has never even explored the way. He just went in rashly, isn't he just seeking death?
So James never understood that it was death, so why didn’t the enemy choose the path where he could still see hope?
......
In fact, this cannot be blamed on James, because the Aboriginals will never really guess what players think.
According to common sense, Abbas should have led his army to launch a series of crazy attacks on Turkmenabad City, as James expected, for the last glimmer of hope.
Because the worst result is death, death in battle is always better than starving to death.
However, after some careful consideration, Abbas resolutely chose to lead his army to break through the desert.
One reason is that most of the army of this Middle Eastern player coalition is infantry. Only by entering the desert can they completely get rid of the pursuit of the Condor Empire, which has the advantage of cavalry.
Because the desert, known as the forbidden area for death, is not a place for travel and vacation, if you are not careful, those who come in will never be able to get out again.
Abbas did not believe that the cavalry regiment of the Condor Empire had the courage to chase in, because after entering the depths of the desert, the enemy of the Condor Empire was not them, but the volatile and cold desert.
If the enemy really doesn't believe that evil will chase in, it will be exactly what Abbas wants, because compared to the Middle East player coalition under his command, the desert is obviously a greater threat to the cavalry army of the Condor Empire.
Therefore, Abbas was simply fearless in leading the army into the desert, because he could accept it calmly regardless of whether the enemy pursued it or not.
The second reason is that even though he knew that it was impossible to break through Turkmenabad City before the ammunition and food were exhausted, Abbas did not want the morale of this army to be devastating.
Although the players and soldiers will not really die, their morale will be affected to a certain extent during the battle.
If the battle process is too tragic and desperate, then the morale of the player soldiers will be greatly affected, and this impact will still exist even after they are reborn.
These Middle Eastern players under Abbas who participated in the first batch of gatherings are all backbone and passionate players of the Middle East. They are very important to the entire Middle East because they will continue to participate in various wars in the future.
If they encounter an irreversible huge blow in Turkmenabad, then in the face of disheartening, many players are likely to withdraw.
So for the future of these players, Abbas had to choose to take the charge of retreating in the face of trouble and forcibly ordered these players to carry dry food and fresh water into the Karakum Desert.
Even if he will be scolded by players in the Middle East in the future, as long as he can maintain the fighting spirit of the players, he will be willing to bear all the responsibilities.
The third reason is that Abbas would rather bury all his troops in the vast sea of sand and let Huangsha bury the corpses of the soldiers with the weapons and equipment they carried with him, than to give these weapons and equipment cheaper to the Eagle Empire.
Even though he knew very well that the Eagle Empire was not short of the weapons and equipment they were on, he was unwilling to let the Eagle Empire obtain these weapons and equipment.
As long as it is a matter of the enemy, it will never be different in size.
He had lost the mountains of food and supplies on the Male Oasis. He could never let the Condor Empire obtain this batch of weapons and equipment, otherwise the Condor Empire would easily arm a huge army of servants here.
Reason 4: Although Abbas has never figured out how the enemy bypassed their defense to reach the Mare Oasis, he can be sure that the enemy must have gone through the Karakum Desert, otherwise they would not have been unaware of it.
If hundreds or thousands of people traveled through the Karakum Desert, Abbas would still accept it. After all, there has been no such precedent before.
But now the Condor Empire army that is circling around Male Oasis must have at least tens of thousands of people.
How did the army of such a large scale overcome the wind and sand in the desert and ensure that they would not get lost?
Since he couldn't understand this, he happened to take this opportunity to experience it himself.
If they can also find the right path and successfully cross the Karakum Desert, then this defeat will not be rewarding.
At least they found the correct way to cross the Karakum Desert. In the future, they could also organize a surprise force to attack the enemy's rear by crossing the Karakum Desert.
It was precisely with these purposes that Abbas resolutely led an army of millions from different locations to enter the Karakum Desert.
Although the millions of troops were divided into countless independent teams when they entered the desert, the directions of all teams were surprisingly consistent, that is, the location of Ashgabat on the other side of the desert.
......
On the first day, with enough food and fresh water, each team that went deep into the desert had almost no reduction in staff except for some fatigue.
The next day, many people began to become unacceptable to the local environment. During the day, a large number of soldiers suffered from heatstroke. At night, many soldiers never woke up after going to bed.
On the third day, in order to successfully walk out of the desert, many teams had to abandon the sick soldiers. The remaining people cursed Abbas's cowardice while continuing to walk forward in the scorching sun.
At this time, many people could no longer tell the specific direction, and they could only keep moving forward based on their instinctive judgment.
Valley
On the fourth day, the tamsui carried by many teams began to bottom out.
Freshwater is more expensive in the desert than any gold jewelry because it represents life.
A person can not eat for several consecutive days, but as long as he does not drink water for a day, he will gradually lose his strength.
That night, many soldiers who had not drunk water for a day stayed in the yellow sand forever.
On the fifth day, there were only sporadic teams in the entire Karakum Desert continuing to move forward.
These teams were lucky. They encountered oasis or desert riverbeds on the way forward, and successfully replenished water there.
However, temporary luck is not enough to ensure that these teams walk out of the desert alive.
In the next few days, many teams stayed in the desert forever due to the water cut.
In the end, only a few hundred people successfully walked out of the Karakum Desert, which was more than 400 kilometers wide, in this desert withdrawal operation initiated by Abbas.
Millions of troops entered the desert, and less than a thousand people finally came out alive. This was definitely a failure to withdraw troops.
Because in addition to successfully transferring the players' anger to himself, the desert marching route that Abbas wanted to explore the most was that he could not find out at all.
During the march, they not only failed to find any clues about the Condor Empire's army marching in the desert, but they even failed to remember where there was an oasis or where there was a desert riverbed.
In this way, the mysterious Karakum Desert is still a forbidden area for them, but for the Condor Empire, it is a mysterious area where you can march.
This result not only disappointed Abbas very much, but also made Ibn Haidal, who knew the whole story, extremely angry.
When Ibn Haidal learned that the Male Oasis, which stored food and supplies, had fallen, and the millions of Middle Eastern players who marched into Turkmenabad, were all buried in the sand sea. After the centaur cavalry of the Condor Empire actually killed outside Ashgabat, he completely lost his composure.
After smashing a room with various precious porcelains to pieces, Ibn Haidal walked out of the room with red eyes.
......
"His Excellency Ibn, we trust you to hand over all the military and strategic materials to your hands, but what do you repay us?
In just a few days, not only did the army that had finally assembled lost all, but even the Male Oasis, which had hoarded food and supplies, was also lost.
If I can barely tolerate these things, I will definitely not tolerate the centaur army of the Condor Empire killing the city of Ashgabat.
Ashgabat City is our capital and our last line of defense.
Now that the enemy has come here, what is the difference between Turkmenistan and Destroyed?
Lord Ibn, that Abbas is your person, and you must bear full responsibility for this matter.
It’s not that I refuse to measure your difficulties, but that your vision is really bad!
How stupid is this to lead millions of troops into the Karakum Desert!
Even though we domestic players who like adventures dare not go deeper, they are not familiar with the environment at all, and they directly led millions of troops into the environment rashly.
Such people are simply brainless.”
After the player leaders from Central Asian countries gathered together in the Middle East and Central Asian countries, Guli Mukhatov of Turkmenistan took the lead in starting the complaining mode.
It is not surprising that Guli Mukhatov was so out of control, because he was under greater pressure than others.
There is no need to mention those who have been destroyed, as they are already completely disappointed at this time.
But Guli Mukhatov, who was on the verge of destruction, lived every day like a year.
Because the capital of Turkmenistan is still in their hands at this time, they have not been destroyed yet.
However, they are not far from the destruction country, because they have lost more than half of their territory.
The useful territory of the entire Turkmenistan is divided into two parts.
Part of it is the oasis plains located in the Amu River Basin, and part of it is the narrow valley oasis south of the Karakum Desert.
As for the largest Karakum Desert, it is an unmanned land. As long as the narrow river valley plains on both sides of the south are occupied, the Karakum Desert sandwiched in the middle will naturally be occupied.
Now the Condor Empire has not only successfully occupied all areas of the Amu River Basin, but also occupied the Male Oasis connecting the plains of the north and south river valleys. The centaur cavalry has even killed the city of Ashgabat.
After the destruction of the Middle East player coalition led by Abbas, there were only less than 50,000 defenders left in the entire Ashgabat region.
Even one and two hundred thousand troops could not withstand the attack of the Condor Empire, and fifty thousand defenders would not be enough to block the Condor Empire's teeth.
As long as the main legion of the Condor Empire arrives, Turkmenistan will immediately fall with the fall of Ashgabat.
Seeing that he was about to become a king of a devastated country, how could Guli Mukhatov not be in a hurry?
And what's even more terrible is that Guli Mukhatov himself is not in the capital Ashgabat at this moment.
He and the entire elite army of Turkmenistan were trapped in the territory of the Kazakh Khanate.
As the king of a country and the leader of a country's players, seeing that the country is about to perish, but he himself cannot return, this is definitely a huge irony.
Uzbekistan and Kyrgyzstan, two countries isolated on the northern bank of the Amu River, have finished it, and it is their turn to Turkmenistan.
The only way to save them Turkmenistan is to have their neighbor Persia send all the troops to the Ashgabat region.
Only in this way can they still have a glimmer of life.
