Because it was early in the morning, the armed guards in these towns were already at their sleepiest time, and when they were suddenly attacked, one can imagine how panicked they were. At this time, groups of Tuareg people riding camels rushed into the town, but they had already begun to kill. The guards in the town suffered heavy losses immediately. Some were hit by bullets and some were hacked to death with machetes.
These nomadic peoples in the Middle East and even North Africa all use scimitars instead of straight swords. Because in ancient times, when people were riding horses, they moved very quickly. If the opponent was wearing armor, it would be difficult for the knight to stab the target with a straight knife or sword when charging at high speed. However, when the scimitar blade cuts the enemy's body, It will instantly draw across the target surface along the curved surface of the blade, thereby continuously contacting the enemy's body.
So when a war horse or camel is galloping at high speed, if an experienced knight uses a Damascus steel scimitar with extremely high hardness, and swings it with rapid impact, he can cut through the armor and chop off the enemy's head in an instant, which is extremely powerful. Although in modern warfare, cavalry has been completely annihilated. But in this North African desert area, nomads still use this traditional scimitar and their traditional cavalry fighting method.
Unless you draw your gun and turn around very quickly, in the actual battle, a line of camel cavalry will suddenly rush out from the flanks and be in front of you in a few seconds, and you will not have much time to react. The sharp light of the sword has already struck down on the head and face, and the arc-shaped scimitar, with the help of the acceleration of riding, can cut off the head in one stroke. It can be said that the blood of those who were hacked did not even have time to spurt out. The cavalry had already rushed forward a few positions and left.
You know, during the Crusades, Saladin's scimitar and fast horse could cut down the heavily armored Crusader knights. This is not the time of the Middle Ages, and these militants are not protected by heavy armor. Wherever these Tuareg go, they often kill people with swords. Those camels were a little timid, but they had an excellent sense of smell and could run faster when they smelled blood.
Of course, these Tuaregs also encountered some resistance. The few knights who rushed forward were hit by the opponent's fire. The camels made a low grunt and fell to the side of the road. Those camel riders who were lucky enough to be uninjured were a bit brave. They rolled and crawled down next to the camel's carcass, mounted their assault rifles and started shooting. The whole town was in chaos.
Lin Rui and his men did not move. They just stood behind the Tuareg people to help them cover and prevent the enemy troops on the other side from attacking from behind. Except for the veterans of the O2 team, most of them are Russian soldiers, and many of them are special forces. The military quality is much better than that of the militants in the town. After rushing into the town, needless to say, they immediately set up defenses on the spot, occupying several commanding heights on the edge of the town, and setting up machine gun firepower.
Using several main firepower points to form a crossfire blockade, and with the auxiliary firepower from one side, the armed guards in the town were unable to rush forward. There were several armed guards who were not afraid of death and wanted to rush out and use rocket launchers to destroy the fire points at high places. But as soon as they appeared, they were shot dead one by one by several snipers from the Slavic team, and they all fell to the ground.
These armed guards themselves were sleepy-eyed and in shock, but the Slavic team deployed by Lin Rui on the opposite side were all equipped with night vision devices and infrared sights. In addition to seizing favorable terrain in advance, there was no suspense no matter how the battle was fought. The passage on one side was blocked, and the Tuareg people could safely rush along the wall to the end, shooting with guns and knives along the way. After several rounds of sprinting, the outer defenses of the town were completely wiped out. .
Other militants in the center of the town did not dare to rush out at night because they did not know the situation. They only dared to hide in the room and fire outside. Lin Rui and others were not in a hurry, so they stayed on the outside and fought back anyone who tried to break through. The opponent tried to break through three times, but finally realized that there was no way to break through and gave up the idea completely. At this time, the Tuareg's charge was coming to an end. They wiped out the guards outside the town and paid a certain price, but it was much smaller than previously expected.
Their camel cavalry gradually gathered towards the center of the town and surrounded several buildings in the middle of the town where militants were stationed.
Wiesel came riding a camel, with blood on his body, his scimitar pointed at the ground, and the blood on the blade had not yet dried.
"How is the situation?" he asked Lin Rui.
"They're all inside, the number is estimated to be around seventy or eighty." Lin Rui nodded and pointed to the building in the distance.
"Then we organize another attack?" Wiesel frowned.
Lin Rui shook his head, "No need, let your people take a rest. Rushing forward now will only increase casualties. At dawn, the enemy will find that they are surrounded and have only one way to surrender. There is no need to give you the power to stimulate them. People bring more losses.¡±
"But, they haven't surrendered yet." Wiesel frowned.
"Yes, because they still have hope in their hearts. They hope that the outer defense line is still under their control, but as daybreak, they will find that the outer guards have been cleared and they are already in a tight siege, so they have hope in their hearts The last glimmer of hope will be wiped out. Without confidence in their hearts, they will no longer be able to persist in the confrontation." Lin Rui said slowly.
"Similarly, even if you occupy this place, if you lose too many people, you still won't be able to defend this town. You can take this town from other tribes' armed forces, and others can also take it from you. Take away. So what you have to do now is wait."
"Wait? My Tuareg warriors, their scimitars are thirsty for blood." Wiesel frowned.
"But the entire Tuareg people are longing for freedom. The blood of your opponents cannot buy victory. Your goal is not just this town, although what you want to do now is to occupy this place. But I know that you want to Lead more tribesmen and move towards greater victory. What you want is the victory of the entire nation. This will be a long time in the future, and there will be many opportunities for bloodshed in the future. But you have to remember that some victories do not require bloodshed, whether it is I am still the blood of my enemy." Jiang An smiled slightly.
Wiesel nodded in understanding, "But you promised me that you would capture this town before morning prayers."
"Yes, so later, we will put one of the prisoners you captured in. The people inside will soon understand the situation outside, and either fight to the death or surrender as a whole. It's not dawn yet, no matter what, you I can make it in time and say morning prayers in the town." Lin Rui smiled slightly, "I did what I promised you, and now I want to know if you can do what you should do."
"Don't worry, the Tuareg people keep their promises." Wiesel nodded.
