"Ouch, ouch, no way."
"Me too, I laughed so hard that my stomach hurt. Brother Ping, tell me the truth. Did you arrange this artillery battalion to be the second battalion?"
Gou Shaoqun laughed so hard that he couldn't stand up straight, grabbed Tang Ping's sleeve and asked.
Tang Ping also laughed so much that he wiped his tears and shook his head and said, "No, it's really not me!"
Duan Zhixuan looked at the three of them curiously and asked, "Why are you laughing?"
"Just...a joke!" Gou Shaoqun straightened up: "It's a pity that this cannon is not called an Italian cannon!"
Several booming cannons hit huge waves in the already swollen river. The physical damage to the Arab soldiers was small, but the psychological damage was great.
No one has ever seen this thing, but judging from the power of the cannonball falling into the water, if it falls on someone...
Well, there’s no need to worry about it. One unlucky guy was hit and half of his body was missing. Red, green, and white things were flowing everywhere in the water.
It was useless to beg for mercy. They could not go up to the high places in the south or north. Some Arab soldiers were carried downstream by the flood. It was hard to say whether they could survive.
Others just hang on the spot.
It can only be said that Tang Ping and the others were too ruthless. They evacuated almost all the woodwork from Malava City in advance. Those soldiers who couldn't swim couldn't even find anything floating on the water.
Only Rashid, along with a few Arab noble generals and some soldiers, were preparing to climb up and go downstream, relying on some carts they had snatched from others.
"Fan Guogong, don't let the general escape." Tang Ping pointed at Rashid on the river and said, "Otherwise I will let Rengui take action."
"Don't worry, you can't run away!" Duan Zhixuan shouted: "Engineer camp, bring someone to stop them!"
People from the engineering battalion came out and pulled a long rope, then pushed a wooden boat down the river and rowed quickly to the other side. Anyone who dared to come close would be shot to death.
As for what was hung under their long rope, it was a dragnet with sharp metal barbs all over it. Anyone who leaned on it would have a large piece of flesh chopped off.
Soon they went up to the opposite side, found a big stone and tightened this section of the long rope. A metal net stretched from the water surface to the bottom of the water was placed across the temporary river channel.
Rashid and the others' expressions changed drastically. The other party was leaving no way for them to survive.
At this time, Tang Ping finally asked loudly: "Are you planning to surrender in the river?"
This fluent Arabic made the Arab nobles and generals in the river look at him angrily.
When they begged for mercy just now, they thought it was because no one in the Tang army could understand Arabic.
As a result, it is obvious that this young man is a high-ranking official of the Tang Dynasty. The Arabic saying is to slip as much as possible.
"Huh? You're not planning to surrender yet, then forget it and keep shooting arrows!"
Tang Ping was not used to them. It was Duan Zhixuan, not Tang Ping, who wanted to capture several Arab generals alive, yet he dared to glare at him!
"Surrender, we surrender!" The general in the river shouted quickly, he really couldn't hold on any longer.
"Those who surrender, throw away your weapons, hold your head in your hands, and then slowly walk to the shore!"
Tang Ping shouted loudly, and the Arab soldiers who heard him quickly followed suit and walked towards the river.
It is said that water and fire are ruthless. Duan Zhixuan used a double attack of water and fire. There were almost no casualties in the two battles, but nearly 100,000 Arab soldiers were killed or wounded or washed downstream.
There were only about 10,000 to 20,000 people captured by the Tang army here.
By this time it was completely light, and the Arab prisoners were squatting on the ground with their heads in their hands, lined up in rows.
Tang Ping yawned. This night was really tiring, but he couldn't rest yet.
Duan Zhixuan wanted to interrogate several people in Rashid, and he had to act as a translator.
Rashid and others were escorted over and stood below with their hands tied.
"People of the Tang Dynasty, you have won our respect!" At this time, Rashid still maintained his general demeanor with an arrogant look.
In his opinion, although he lost, he was still a noble Arab noble general.
"What did he say?" Duan Zhixuan asked Tang Ping.
Tang Ping touched his nose: "It's hard to say."
"It's not easy to say?"
"Well, greetings to your family, don't be convinced!"
No matter how shrewd Duan Zhixuan was, he believed Rashid when he saw the arrogant look on his face.
"General, let me give him a blow!" Duan Zhixuan's trusted lieutenant general exploded when he heard Tang Ping say this.
What's there to be dissatisfied about? You are your own fool, you have been manipulated by our general, and now you are still unconvinced, who is giving you the face?
So he walked over and had sex with these two loudmouths, and Rashid was immediately confused.
What's wrong?
Didn't you praise the other person just now?
Why did you praise me wrongly?
Come here and give yourself a slap in the face?
At this time, Tang Ping said leisurely in Arabic: "Our Duke Fan said, who are you? Do you need your respect? Why are you pretending to be a big-tailed wolf? I will ask you what to say, stop talking about this. use."
Rashid was completely beaten and lost his temper. Hearing Tang Ping ask this, he could only nod honestly.
Tang Ping then said to Duan Zhixuan: "Looks like he's convinced, you can ask now."
Duan Zhixuan pursed his lips. These Arabs had to be beaten to know how serious they were.
"Ask them what they know about the movements of other Arab armies."
Tang Ping translated. Rashid originally wanted to say a few words, but feeling the burning pain on his face and the deputy general Duan Zhixuan standing next to him with eyes as big as copper bells, he could only say honestly: "The entire western Tianzhu , the Arab armies in the northwest have all been defeated by you."
"Nonsense, we don't know?" Tang Ping said impatiently: "The question is about other places, such as the military strength in the occupied areas in Central Tianzhu."
Then he said to Duan Zhixuan's lieutenant: "Pick out an unlucky guy and give him a knife. Just don't kill him."
These people have been playing with knives for more than ten or twenty years, and they know clearly where death is not easy. The deputy general grinned, waved his hand, and a white light flashed, and the unlucky guy behind Rashid was stabbed in the abdomen. .
\"Answer my questions well, and he still has a chance to survive.\" Tang Ping said coldly.
"You!" Rashid glared at Tang Ping. They had never lost before, and naturally they had never suffered such humiliation.
"Zhongtianzhu's army has gone to the east to support them, and they will come back after they finish off the Tang army in the east!"
Anyway, Zhong Tianzhu's army has been gone for so long, and telling Tang Ping now will not have any impact.
Looking at Tang Ping, he sneered in his heart: These arrogant Tang people have forgotten that they come from the powerful Arab Empire.
The Arab Empire is not the only one with 400,000 warriors!
