Several hours later.
The Houthi army of 10,000, dragging dozens of vehicles with weapons and equipment abandoned by the fleeing Saudi forces, returned to Sana'a.
The two high-ranking commanders responsible for directing this battle also came to the main city to report the results to the Houthi leader.
"Report, Leader! The battle report has been compiled!"
Musa walked over with a battle report in hand, his face flushed with excitement.
The scale of this battle was not small, with over 50,000 personnel participating from both sides.
However, the battle ended quite quickly.
Especially on the side of the Saudi coalition.
Originally, the battlefield commanders of the Houthi forces were quite cautious.
After all, although they, the Houthi forces, had undergone a drastic upgrade in equipment, switching from shotguns to cannons.
But the Saudi coalition's equipment was no slouch either.
Moreover, the number of their ground troops was several times that of theirs.
Coupled with the support of heavy weapons and aircraft, they were clearly at a disadvantage.
But to their surprise, the Saudi coalition turned out to be so weak.
After they set up an ambush for the opponent's tank forces.
The Saudi ground forces panicked instantly.
Their original numerical advantage was completely negated.
They all started fleeing like a swarm of bees.
This desperate act of survival completely dumbfounded the Houthi commanders.
He had to admit, these Saudi coalition soldiers were truly afraid of death.
"Tell me directly, what is the specific situation of the battle?"
The Houthi leader said with a smile.
"Yes!"
"According to the statistics from the frontline officers, this time we killed over 500 Saudi coalition soldiers and captured over 5,000 people."
"We captured eight M1A2 tanks, fifteen armored vehicles, five self-propelled artillery pieces…"
"We killed over 3,000 Yemeni government soldiers and captured over 1,000."
"We seized a large number of light weapons and artillery."
"At the same time, the Nihm region, previously occupied by the Yemeni government forces, has been fully captured by our Houthi forces."
After hearing this report, the Houthi leader was both happy and bewildered.
He was happy because the results of this battle were quite good.
Not only did they defeat the Saudi coalition and the Yemeni government forces, but they also expanded the area controlled by their Houthi forces.
But what made him bewildered was the casualty and prisoner ratio of the Saudi coalition.
The Yemeni government forces had over 3,000 killed and over 1,000 captured, which was within a reasonable range.
But the Saudi coalition side was clearly unreasonable.
"What's the situation with the Saudi coalition? Why are there so few killed and so many captured?"
Hearing the Houthi leader's question.
Musa beside him suddenly laughed.
"Leader, I asked about this too."
"Our commanders said that the Saudi coalition soldiers are simply too cowardly."
"They haven't even started fighting, and they are already ready to surrender."
"Among the hundreds killed, a considerable number were trampled to death by their own comrades while fleeing."
"And those over 5,000 prisoners didn't even choose to run, they just surrendered on the spot."
After listening, the Houthi leader couldn't help but twitch his lips.
Good heavens!
This Saudi coalition really didn't disappoint him.
At this rate, they were even weaker than the Saudi "pampered soldiers" in the original world.
Don't underestimate Saudi Arabia, they are the world's largest importer of military equipment, and they are the largest military client of the US.
Their military expenditure ranks third in the world, only behind the US and China.
The proportion of military spending to GDP even reaches 10%, far exceeding the world average.
All their equipment is the latest models and versions.
However, Saudi Arabia's equipment was not purchased for actual warfare and combat.
Instead, they were bought to show off their strength and status.
They cannot meet their own needs and adapt to their environment.
This has turned Saudi Arabia's equipment into a mere display and decoration.
It has also turned Saudi Arabia's military into a laughingstock and a tragedy.
On top of that, Saudi Arabia's economy mainly relies on its domestic oil industry and derivative industries.
This industry is highly specialized, resulting in most citizens not actually participating in the creation of national wealth.
They have been influenced by this ideology of unearned wealth for a long time.
Therefore, Saudi citizens generally lack a spirit of struggle and perseverance, and they are perfunctory and lazy when it comes to work.
On the other hand, the fighters of their Houthi forces are mostly Yemeni citizens from the lower strata who have been ravaged by war.
They pick up guns to eat and to survive.
Therefore, they fight with exceptional effort.
This natural gap between the two sides has led to the current situation.
However, after the Houthi forces were fully equipped with advanced weapons, this gap became even more apparent.
"Distribute the seized light weapons to fighters in other cities."
"Once our super-intelligent military factory produces all the remaining individual equipment, we'll replace them all."
"As for those tanks, armored vehicles, and self-propelled artillery, integrate them all."
The Houthi leader said with a smile.
Now their Houthi forces have improved their individual equipment level.
But they are quite weak in terms of heavy weapons.
Fortunately, Saudi Arabia's batch of equipment is brand new and all top-of-the-line equipment purchased from the US.
Naturally, he would not waste it.
"Yes, Leader!"
Musa nodded with a smile and then said.
"Leader, what do we do with those Saudi soldiers we captured? Should we kill them all?"
"After all, these soldiers have been pampered for so long, they don't even know how to do basic manual labor."
"Keeping them will only waste our food."
Hearing this, the Houthi leader shook his head with a smile.
"These prisoners are all treasures, we can't kill them."
"Let's record another video later, according to our previous practice."
"Show the results of this battle to countries all over the world."
"Also tell Saudi Arabia in the video, let them use dollars to exchange for their captured personnel."
"Remember to ask for a high price."
Hearing this, Musa's eyes lit up.
This idea of the Leader's is brilliant.
Broadcasting the results of this battle on television will not only boost the reputation of their Houthi forces.
It will also slap Saudi Arabia and the ten Arab countries in the face in front of the whole world.
At the same time, show the captured Saudi coalition soldiers on television.
It will force Saudi Arabia to pay for their release.
Otherwise, Saudi Arabia will not only lose this battle, they might even lose the hearts of the people within their own country.
It's a win-win situation!
Soon, Musa followed the Houthi leader's instructions, gathering professionals.
They reported the results of their battle, showcasing the large number of captured Saudi coalition soldiers and the large amount of seized equipment.
After doing this, Musa again asked someone to send the produced video to Al Jazeera.
