"What did you say?"
Pingyang gritted his teeth and stared at this ignorant thing. Dare he question himself? Isn’t it good to be alive?
Seeing that Pingyang was about to go crazy, he quickly said: "I..."
"Report........................"
At this moment, the messenger suddenly broke in and shouted: "General, the cannibals are attacking the city..."
------------------
Outside Ximen Pass, Cheng Yaojin looked solemnly at the slowly approaching Dashi army.
"You're so brave. You gave me a blow as soon as you came up. Who gave him the courage?"
"Come here!"
"promise!"
"The ballista is ready!"
The sound of the bow string being drawn was heard on the top of the city. After more than a year of preparation, the number of 500 ballistas originally brought has more than tripled. This is due to the poor craftsmanship in the Western Regions. Otherwise, if it were placed in Chang'an, it would be no problem to have ten times more.
The city wall to the west of Ximen Pass is three feet wide and three miles long. There are three rows of ballistae. Except for the necessary positions, the top of the city is occupied by these big guys.
"ignition!"
As soon as Cheng Yaojin finished speaking, he saw the soldiers beside the crossbow car fixing a clay pot the size of a human head on the crossbow arrow, then taking out the fire stick and lighting it on fire.
"put!"
Buzz~
A buzzing sound sounded, followed by an overwhelming barrage of arrows heading towards Guancheng. Five hundred iron arrows roared down with clay pots. The big cannibal who was still coming towards the city gate was stunned. The leading general was shocked when he saw the black shadow in the sky!
: "Raise your shield!"
After all, they had fought against Datang several times. How could they not be prepared for the weapons that Datang showed off in the Battle of the South China Sea?
But is it really that simple?
boom! boom! boom!
Although the solid iron shield blocked the crossbow arrows, the shield was completely broken by the huge force. The soldiers simply could not stop such a huge force. "The screams that followed were mixed with the sound of things breaking.
General Dashi looked down and saw the black liquid slowly flowing out, and the fire from the missing arrow began to approach the black liquid.
"No, it's kerosene!"
Full of panic, he held back the fire oil that was burning violently, and could no longer maintain his composure. He was very familiar with this thing. In the desert, this thing was everywhere, and sometimes it would pop up if you accidentally dug deep.
Once a fire breaks out, it will be difficult to extinguish, and there will even be a lot of thick smoke.
The Great Eaters were fully prepared for this siege. For a mere three miles of the city wall, 30,000 troops were dispatched to prepare for the siege, which shows how confident they are.
But the reality is cruel. No matter how confident you are when sending troops, you will regret it now!
Five hundred clay pots exploded in the 30,000-strong army, and fire oil splashed everywhere. Contaminated soldiers were everywhere. With a bang, the fire instantly engulfed the area covered by the fire oil.
"Ah, save me quickly!"
"Help me, help me put out the fire!"
"Allah, save your people!"
"ah..............."
Screams were heard one after another, and just when the people who were not affected wanted to help, someone looked up and suddenly turned pale as a sheet of paper.
They saw no fewer arrows than before attacking them again.
Boom~
The fire came as expected. The vanguard general looked at Guancheng, which was at least five hundred steps away from him. He seemed to see the silent ridicule on the top of the city. What are you laughing at? Laugh at their ignorance!
The sky was overwhelming, and a continuous stream of arrows and clay pots were still roaring in the sky. However, the 30,000-strong army of the Great Food Pioneer Army was completely in chaos. Some people were filled with flames and howling in pain, and some were rolling on the ground, heartbroken. The screams of the lungs were unbearable to hear.
In this way, a total of 30,000 troops were captured before they even approached Guancheng.
He was defeated by the sudden blow and ran away.
It wasn't until he completely ran out of the area covered by the arrow rain and was protected by his own soldiers that the pioneer officer realized that the 30,000 troops he had brought out were less than half of them. Looking at the soldiers who were still wailing on the battlefield, he spurted blood and fell completely.
"General!"
"General, what's wrong with you?"
「........................」
Selder's face was ashen as he looked at the 30,000-strong army that was completely defeated without even seeing the shadow of the enemy. It shouldn't be a defeated army of more than 10,000 people. Even though his heart was as stone as stone, he shed painful tears!
"Jisong, you are so cruel!"
Even if this accident fails to defeat Guancheng, it can still give Datang a decisive blow. At least it can give the forces that are leaning towards Great Food a good look, and it can also announce their arrival.
But the reality slapped him in the face. Datang told him with facts that if he wanted to capture Ximen Pass, he could not even think about it without breaking his teeth.
"Ming Jin!"
Bang bang bang~
The great food provoked Ming Jin to withdraw his troops, which made all the generals heave a sigh of relief.
No one wanted to face such a blow again until they thought of a way to stop the attack just now. Not to mention victory, my safe return is thanks to Allah’s blessing!
"You're quitting now?"
Guo Xiaoke stared with wide eyes at the giant eater below who was slowly retreating, and said in disbelief.
"Otherwise? Do you still expect others to continue to die?"
Cheng Yaojin pinched his teeth, but he didn't expect that the ballista and kerosene could wipe out half of the 30,000 cannibal army in one go? If you do this for a few more rounds, you'll still get a spanking!
Just cum and that's it!
"Look, someone is coming!"
I saw a trembling Dashi soldier appearing in sight. He was slapping his hands in vain, and what was he shouting?
"What's that thing talking about?"
"Back to the general, it's the person who came to deliver the message. He said he hoped that the Tang Dynasty would let them come over to collect the bodies of the fallen soldiers!"
Cheng Yaojin was silent. No matter how fierce the fight was on the battlefield, his act of collecting the corpses of the soldiers still gained people's favor. This made him realize again that these were not those barbarian forces.
Whether it was the Turks before or some of the foreign races in the surrounding area, they rarely behaved like this.
Civilization, he thought of this word Ji Song often said again!
"Tell him that Datang agreed!"
"In addition, send people to collect missing arrows. As long as the other party doesn't attack you, don't worry about it!"
"promise!"
Cheng Yaojin blinked, and in just that moment, he had shot no less than ten thousand crossbow arrows. You must know that this is made of high-quality iron. One weighs ten kilograms. I don’t know how many can be collected?
But the distance is far enough, many of them are falling freely from the sky, and their strength has been reduced a lot. After all, it’s not cheap. Just collect as much as you can. Recycling is the last word!
After receiving the response, the Great Eater quickly sent thousands of soldiers to collect the corpses. Datang also sent about a thousand soldiers with carriages to collect the missing arrows.
When the Great Eater saw that the other party was actually collecting the arrows that had captured their brothers, a man who looked like a general suddenly rushed out and rushed towards a school captain from the Tang Dynasty to see if there was anything wrong with this. Deep hatred!
"Ogober, come back!"
Ashina Daozhen turned around and looked at the extremely angry big eater, showing a trace of disdain and saying: "You want to kill me?"
"Yes, I just want to kill you, you devils, Allah will not let you go, you will go to hell, you will definitely..."
If another person hadn't pulled him, he would have wanted to eat his flesh and drink his blood.
"Ogebai, if you keep doing this nonsense, I'll tell the general!"
He was also angry when he saw the Tang people, but reason prevailed. There was no point in entangled with them now. The business was to collect the remains of the fallen soldiers.
That
Shi Nidao really didn't expect that the other party could speak Chinese and also had this Guanzhong accent.
"Hell? Haha!"
"Let's not talk about whether your so-called Allah can control the territory of our Eastern gods. Even if it is, then he will still be killed!"
"You started the war. First, the South China Sea provoked the Tang Dynasty, but unfortunately they lost. Your southern governor became the guest of the Tang Dynasty. You were unconvinced and started this war again."
"You are the ones who deserve to go to hell. You shameless people still have the nerve to be so quiet? If it weren't for today's military order, I would have killed you first!"
"Hmph, I don't know what it means!"
Watching the other party leave, Ogbai struggled away violently and rushed towards Ashina Daozhen amidst everyone's exclamations!
Bang~
But he came back faster. Not only did he react, he was kicked back again by Ashina Dozhen with a roundhouse kick.
Looking at Ogebai who fell to the ground but was still struggling, everyone in Datang burst out laughing.
"If you ask me, this kid has some backbone, but he's just a bit lacking in strength."
"That's right. The important thing about this person is that he knows himself. It's not as good as not being afraid of others, just because he doesn't have the ability!"
The big eater couldn't understand what the other person was saying, but looking at the way the other person laughed, he knew it was definitely not a good word.
But Ogbai understood, his eyes were bloodshot and he glared at the other person. However, the injuries on his body left him powerless, and at the same time he was annoyed at his own incompetence, as he could not even touch the enemy's fur.
"I, Ogba, swear that I will kill you!"
Ashina Daozhen's expression changed, and he said disdainfully: "Just you? In the next life!"
"Wash your neck clean, kid. When we meet on the battlefield, I will behead you!"
Regardless of the opponent's eyes that were about to spit out fire, he led the crowd to drive the carriage full of arrows towards Ximen Pass. He didn't pay any attention to the big food boy who could speak Chinese, he was just a stupid boy.
But what he didn't know was that the kid he kicked away would blossom into a dazzling brilliance in the near future. But this basically has nothing to do with him.
He was just a little regretful now. Nearly 10,000 arrows were lost, but less than 5,000 were recovered. The other ghosts were shot to who knows where. The greater possibility is that it will be shot into the ground and cannot be found.
------------------
"May I have your name?"
In the big tent of the army in the feast, Seld, who had a headache, looked at the young man below and said.
"Dear Governor, my subordinate Ogbai has a small soldier under your command!"
Selder was noncommittal and asked: "I heard that you had a conflict with the Tang Dynasty people? And you can also speak the other party's language? Who taught you?"
In fact, he didn't care about what happened just now, and even liked this young man who dared to be born, but that didn't stop him from meeting him in person.
But when I heard that this kid could speak fluent Chinese, I immediately became interested.
It’s been a long time since I’ve seen the merchants traveling between the East and the West. I heard that they were imprisoned by the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty after Dashi announced the Eastern Expedition. They were said to be cannibalistic female cadres who could only wait for the end of the war. Will let him go.
The emperor of the Tang Dynasty had good tactics, but this resulted in heavy losses for the cannibals. Without merchants on the originally busy Silk Road, how could they still collect taxes?
The result of years of constant warfare was that the country was devastated and its internal affairs were not repaired. It could only survive by relying on constant plunder. The reason for the Eastern Expedition this time is to force the empires in the East to bow their heads and even give up the sea completely.
Otherwise, if things go on like this, with the convenience of sea transportation, Datang will be able to come into contact with Westerners sooner or later, which is something Dashi will never allow.
[An app that has been running stably for many years, comparable to the old book-chasing tool, used by all old bookworms.
It is said that the navy of the Tang Dynasty has arrived in Tianzhu, and some people have even seen large ships that are very different from those in the West. Who else could there be besides Datang now?
If the east and west are united and the trade routes are completely closed, it will be a real disaster. The economically weak Dashi simply cannot withstand such a blow.
So the Eastern Expedition began. This time, the food was all-or-nothing, and if it didn't succeed, it would be an adult. After winning, Dashi continued to hold the biggest dividend on the East-West trade route. But if you lose, Dashi......
He really didn't dare to think about it, such an ending was really shocking!
There are no businessmen who can speak Chinese, and even if they are in the army, they are only half-baked. In many cases, the translation is incorrect and completely incomprehensible. Suddenly he heard that there was a soldier who was proficient in Chinese, which surprised him!
Ogbai was a little surprised, but still replied: "Ogbai's father was a businessman from Baghdad and had been to the East, but the Central Plains dynasty at that time was still called Sui. When I was a child, my father trained me, hoping to inherit his business in the future. So I have been taught Chinese since I was a child. But who knows......"
Not to mention Seld also understood something after that. It was nothing more than the family property that had been surrendered by those fanatical believers. Otherwise, as the son of a big businessman, how could he become a soldier?
But he wasn't prepared to say anything about this matter. Who could tell clearly who was wrong and who was right sometimes? And this is also something that is good for Dashi, but it will inevitably hurt some people during the implementation process, which is understandable!
"I need a attendant by my side, would you be willing to do so?"
Ogbai was stunned for a moment, and when he was convinced that he heard correctly, he was overjoyed and said quickly: "Yes, of course I am willing. Thank you very much, Your Majesty the Governor, for your kindness!"
"Okay, I want to take a rest. Remember to report here tomorrow. You are a good boy. Forget about the past unpleasantness. People always have to look forward. What do you think?"
Ogbai lowered his head and remained silent, and Selder did not urge him. If he couldn't understand this, he would have to be a soldier for the rest of his life.
"I understand, thank you Governor, I will report here tomorrow!"
Looking at the young man with firm eyes, Selder burst into laughter. He has lost tens of thousands of soldiers, but meeting such an interesting young man is a small gain. He is now looking forward to his performance and hopes not to disappoint himself... ..
