Both of them had loud voices and were very authentic in Arabic. So, when they heard their calls, all the Berber cavalry and Arab cavalry who were waving the Arab scimitar to fight back were stunned...
Ayum is the first deputy general of the army this time, a famous general of the Vatas dynasty. Once, General Ali, who was locked outside the city, was the number one general in Morocco. But General Ali is older and over 60 years old. So, he is turned into the behind-the-scenes... No, he is turned into the commander in the rear...
Then, the new generation of powerful general Ayum, who was only in his thirties, replaced General Ali and became the number one strong general in Morocco. Not to mention being famous within the Vatas dynasty, even the Saad tribe knew the famous reputation of the bearded Ayum. Previously, when the two armies gathered, Ayum and his fellow soldiers accepted the competition requirements of many heroes of the Saad tribe. Without exception, the Saad tribe was defeated. Therefore, General Ayum not only became famous in the more than 10,000 troops of the Vatas dynasty, but also had a great reputation among the 8,000 cavalry sent by the Saad dynasty this time. His death caused a great blow to the psychology of the Moroccan coalition soldiers...
Then, many Moroccan warriors who heard the call started to get messy and ran around like headless flies. But there were also rational people who tried to push forward to see the truth and avoid being deceived.
Of course, there is another type of person. They are near Ayom and see with their own eyes the whole process of Ayom being beaten to death by the Spaniards on the roof. So they are angry:
"Damn the Spanish, they plotted against Lord Ayom! Brothers, let's go up to the roof and kill them!"
Then, a group of Moroccan warriors jumped off their horses and walked towards the gate of the tall building where Gonzalo de Cordoba was located, trying to rush in, climb up the roof, and kill Gonzalo de Cordoba and his party.
However, when they came to the front door of the building, they were surprised to find that the gate was blocked from inside...
They tried hard to kick the door, but the back of the door was filled with furniture and all kinds of debris, so they couldn't kick it open...
Gonzalo de Cordoba stood on the roof and smiled, thinking:
"Do I have no common sense? Will you wait for you to come up and kill me on the roof? It's so stupid..."
In fact, in order to prevent Moroccan cavalry from entering the house and climbing up to the roof to kill Spanish soldiers, Gonzalo de Cordoba ordered the gates of all houses on the South Street to block the inside from the inside to prevent Moroccan warriors from coming up and hurting Spanish soldiers.
In fact, General Ali, the leader of the Moroccan coalition, was right. If the Moroccan warriors were given the opportunity to fight head-on with his soldiers, the Moroccans might not lose. After all, the Moroccans are all barbarians who are good at playing swords, and their personal combat power is much stronger than that of Spanish farmers.
Generally speaking, if the city is captured, the Spanish soldiers from peasants in the city will only be massacred by these Moroccan warriors holding scimitars. Only Spanish knights in backless outfits have the ability to face them. After all, the knights have practiced martial arts since childhood, no worse than those of these nomadic people, and even more skilled in martial arts. However, the number of Spanish knights is very small, unlike Moroccan warriors, each tribe has a bunch. If the city is really broken by the Moroccans, they will be killed.
But Gonzalo de Cordova learned a few tricks from Marin, the first European yin competition. At that time, Marin made a special deduction with Gonzalo de Cordova. Then, after abandoning the sense of honor, Gonzalo de Cordova decided to use it for practical combat...
The city of Fes was once the capital of the Vatas dynasty of Morocco. The city was tall and sturdy, and there were many buildings in the city. Especially on the South Street, there were developed commercial buildings, and many shops were built in stone, which was very suitable for the arrangement of this tactic.
After arranging this tactic, even if the Moroccan samurai has high personal fighting ability, so what? First of all, you have to find the enemy to fight with the opponent...
There is a way to find the enemy, that is, it can be contacted in the alleys on the street. However, after the Moroccan warrior dismounted and rushed in, there were not only a large number of obstacles that were inconvenient to charge, but also a row of spears that were bolted over without any heads and minds...
The alley is just a little wide and cannot accommodate a large number of people walking. Although it cannot reach the level of "one man should be a pass and ten thousand men cannot open", it is really inconvenient to attack.
If you encounter heavy European infantry and hold a shield, you may be able to attack in force. However, the Moroccans were mainly scimitar cavalry, without even armor or bows and arrows.
There was no shield, no armor, and no bows or arrows. The Moroccan warrior holding a scimitar had no choice but to use the Spanish spearmen in the alley.
On the roof next to the street, 1,500 Spanish musketeers and 500 crossbowmen were not idle. They kept shooting arrows in the street, and the unlucky Moroccan cavalry were hit.
That's not all. There are still a large number of Spanish soldiers without muskets and bows on the house. They smashed them down with bricks and stones that had been prepared long ago, and the unlucky Moroccan soldiers were smashed to death.
Moroccan warriors were melee cavalry, who could only use scimitars to chop people, and did not even have long-range weapons, so they could only be beaten passively. In desperation, in order to avoid being hit by muskets, arrows and bricks, they could only run around the streets.
They couldn't open the door, and they didn't dare to enter the alley, so they could only be happily attacked by the Spanish on the roof...
Of course, there were also smart Moroccan warriors who picked up bricks and stones thrown by the Spaniards on the street, including arrows, and threw them on the roof as a counterattack.
At the beginning, some Spanish soldiers didn't pay attention to being hit. But after paying attention, it was fine again. After all, Spanish soldiers could retreat, but they were beyond the sight of Moroccan soldiers. However, the Moroccan warriors on the street could not hide from the sight of Spanish soldiers...
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! In this way, after being beaten for a long time, the morale of the Moroccan warriors who were unable to fight back was broken...
This Moroccan coalition, which had 20,000 people, had 15,000 people breaking into the city, and only 5,000 were once regular troops, while the other 10,000 were mostly informal troops composed of herders.
The tribal cavalry composed of herders are okay to fight with the wind and are very fierce. Once they encounter such a headwind that has no ability to fight back, they will easily collapse.
After being beaten for a long time, thousands of herders and cavalrymen took the initiative to drop their scimitars, squatted down with their heads and begged for mercy loudly. There were only more than 3,000 remaining regular soldiers, and they were still trying to throw stones with the Spaniards on the roof...
When Gonzalo de Cordoba saw that the time was ripe, he immediately made his Arabic translator shout:
"Surrender and not kill!"
"Surrender and not kill!"
At the same time, he ordered the musketeers and crossbowmen to concentrate on attacking those deadly and hard-working elements who are still fighting...
...
It was not until the evening that those deadly members were basically eliminated. Then, the surviving six or seven thousand Moroccan herders and cavalry were captured by the Spanish...
Outside the city, General Ali of the Vatas Dynasty and General Sheikh of the Saad tribe saw that the situation was hopeless, so he had to escape with the remaining scimitar cavalry less than 5,000.
Gonzalo de Cordoba had no choice but to do this. After all, he didn't have so many cavalry to chase him. The reason why he took the risk of putting the enemy into the city was that the infantry had no choice but to use the escaped cavalry. Only by putting the enemy's cavalry into the city and cutting off its rear route can he ensure that he was left behind...
However, although 15,000 enemies were eliminated this time, the enemy's 15,000 horses were killed or injured by an indiscriminate attack during the attack, which made Gonzalo de Cordova feel distressed. Because he finally seized only more than 6,000 intact Moroccan Bobu horses. The rest of the horses were either killed by accident or injured in chaos, and could no longer be used as war horses...
