Chapter 1156: Samarkand!
Chapter 1156
Boom!
Hearing a shocking sword roar, before Wang Chong could react, the leader of the Khorasan people suddenly drew his sword, pulled a sword flower in the void, and then raised his sword horizontally, and at the same time slowly lowered his head with a solemn face.
Seeing this scene, Wang Chong, including everyone behind him, was stunned.
"Your Excellency, he wishes to exchange swords with your lordship, which is a form of Sassanid courtesy, to exchange the most precious portable swords as a sign of courtesy and respect for the most distinguished guests. - The Khorasans cherished their sword more than their lives, and they seldom used this courtesy. ”
Yuan Shurong explained on the side.
Yuan Shurong, who is now fifty or sixty years old, Mr. Yuan, began to travel the world at the age of seventeen or eighteen, at that time, even the Sassanid Dynasty had not been destroyed by the Great Cannibals, Yuan Shurong traveled south and north, and knew many customs of the Sassanid Dynasty well, knowing that this kind of ritual had extraordinary significance for them.
"I see!"
Wang Chong also understood at this time, groaned slightly, and quickly pulled out the Uzi steel long sword on his body, held it in both hands and handed it over. In the eyes of all the Tang warriors and Khorasan, the two quickly exchanged swords.
"Boom!"
At the moment of the exchange, behind Bahram, all the Angolan heavy cavalry, as well as the Sass iron cavalry, cheered excitedly.
"Drua, Shankuziasla......"
At this moment, Bahram spoke again with a look of great respect.
"General Bahram said that the Great Cannibal is the eternal enemy of the Sassanids, and that the Sassanid people are eternally grateful to the Sassanid people for killing the Sassanid enemy Aiibek, and killing Qudibo and more than 400,000 Great Cannibals. As long as the adults want to deal with the Great Cannibals, the Sassanids are willing to be driven by the adults, and become the staunchest allies of the adults west of the Green Ridge. ”
Yuan Shurong continued to translate.
"The general is gracious!"
Wang Chong quickly responded:
"We have also heard about the situation of the Sassanids. The Great Cannibals are fierce and brutal, they take pleasure in conquest and destruction, and we have a common enemy in this matter, and the Tang Dynasty is also willing to become the most staunch ally with the Sassanids to deal with the Great Eclipse together. ”
Wang Chong said in a deep voice.
"With General Wang, this sentence is enough!"
Bahram's eyes lit up.
As he spoke, he stretched out his broad and powerful right palm.
"Huh!"
Wang Chong smiled, and also stretched out his right hand, two steel-like hands, tightly clasped together in the void.
At that moment, no one knew that this simple and powerful handshake had formed the firmest alliance west of the Green Ridge and the entire continent, and it had also become the most powerful, loyal, and reliable ally of the Tang Dynasty in the area from Samarkand to Khorasan.
"Hahaha......"
When Wang Chong and Bahram let go of their hands, the entire sky over the Black Forest resounded with the cheerful laughter of the two armies.
With the addition of Bahram and more than 9,000 Angra heavy cavalry, Wang Chong and others greatly increased their strength. Bahram then provided important news.
The Khorasans received news from the guards of Abmus/Lin in Samarkand that the militia had begun to be gathered in the Samarkand direction, and they were ready to wait for Abmus/Lin to arrive in Samarkand and then close the gates, preparing to use the thick walls of Samarkand to confront the Tang people.
"The general has never been to Samarkand, so he probably doesn't know that the walls of Samarkand are not much worse than those of Talas. If they succeed in retreating into the city and gather a large number of militias, it will be extremely disadvantageous to us. It is imperative that they must not be given any respite, and besides, our men who remain in Samarkand have managed to blend in with the men and horses of Abmuth/Lin in the rear, and have taken control of a city gate. But Abmus/Lin has always been cautious, and it is difficult to ensure that he will not move the city defense after arriving in Samarkand, so we must be fast, and the soldiers must be fast!"
Bahram said with a serious face.
"Besides, this time with the big cannibals, I don't know how long the general will be here?"
At the end of the day, there was a deep concern in Bahram's eyes.
In order to cooperate with the Tang Dynasty this time, the Sassanid elite was exhausted, and even the Angla heavy cavalry, which had been hidden, was pulled out by Bahram. This army was more than enough to deal with the defeated Abmus/Lin and the remnants of his army, but once Abmus/Lin had caught his breath, plus the other Great Eclipse troops that had been summoned, the Sassanids would suffer heavy losses.
- The reason why the Angra heavy cavalry was able to survive the encirclement and suppression of the entire Great Food Empire in the past was that it had never been able to hide deep and not show a trace. But once the hiding is revealed, it is not so easy to hide it again.
"Haha, the general doesn't have to worry, Datang and Da Shi are not just a war this time, and our goal is not just a Samarkand. In the front against the Great Cannibals, the Tang Dynasty can become the most staunch patron and ally of the Sassanid Empire, which the general can rest assured. ”
Wang Chong didn't know where Bahram and the Khorasan people were worried, and immediately laughed out loud and reassured.
The aggressiveness of the big cannibals is destined to be the eternal enemy of the Tang Dynasty, if they don't hurt it this time, let it hurt the bone marrow, and the vitality will be greatly damaged, and it will definitely make a comeback in the coming year and come to the city again. Just like the information revealed by the Stone of Destiny, it is difficult for a mountain to accommodate two tigers, a pool is difficult to inhabit two dragons, and it is difficult for two equally large empires to exist on a continent at the same time, and it is impossible for Wang Chong to withdraw his troops easily on this basis.
"Great!"
Bahram looked excited, he led eight or nine thousand Angela heavy cavalry thousands of miles to gallop, taking such a big risk, for Wang Chong's promise.
"General, don't worry, from Samarkand to Khorasan, we know many rebels, all of whom are descendants of dynasties that were destroyed by the Great Cannibals. I can contact them, organize them, and cooperate with the general to sweep up the food. The Great Cannibal is perverse, brutal in temperament, and the enemy of all. The general killed the Great Eclipse God of War Qu Dibo in Talas, and I believe that everyone is willing to promote the General as the leader and fight against the Great Eclipse together!"
“!!!”
Hearing this, Wang Chong and Gao Xianzhi glanced at each other, and their hearts were greatly shaken. This time, although Datang defeated Dashi, he also suffered heavy losses, and only 20,000 or 30,000 of the more than 100,000 soldiers and horses remained. This time, there were only eight or nine thousand Angra heavy cavalry as allies, and this force was still weak if it wanted to conquer the Great Eclipse. But now it seems that Datang can get far more help than that, which is definitely an unexpected joy.
"General, this is very good, everything will come according to the general's plan!"
Wang Chong turned his head and looked at Bahram with a smile on his face.
From the battle to the present, the soldiers and horses of the Tang Dynasty have been very tired, and the war with the Great Cannibal is destined to be protracted. Wang Chong ordered the army to rest in place for a while, replenished their physical strength and food, and united the Angra heavy cavalry to go on the road again. This time the two coalition armies did not stop any longer, passing through the Black Forest and heading in the direction of Samarkand.
About an hour later, a huge city towered into the sky, like a mountain, and leaped into view.
"What a tall city!"
Li Siye covered his eyebrows with his hands, looking at this majestic city, his eyelids jumping.
The city of Talas is already very large, but this city is much larger and more spectacular than the city of Talas. The thick walls of the walls spread all the way to the depths of the sky, and just by looking at it from afar, you know that this city must be even more difficult to attack than the city of Talas.
And Li Siye, Cheng Qianli, Xi Yuanqing, Lou Shiyi, and Xue Qianjun and others, showed the same look in their eyes, obviously the important oriental town of the Great Cannibal also left a deep impression on them.
"Let's go!"
In the distance, Bahram rode on the huge beastly warhorse and waved the command flag towards the high wall. The next moment, boom, in the eyes of everyone, a huge city gate with a height of thirty or forty meters suddenly slowly opened, revealing a passage leading to the military town of Samarkand.
Seeing this city gate open, everyone's hearts were as if a heavy stone had been unloaded, and they were suddenly a lot more relaxed.
"Kill ——"
With a bang, Wang Chong'an sat on the back of the white hoof, and suddenly pulled out the long sword that he had exchanged with Bahram, the sharp tip of the sword pointed straight at the sky, refracting bursts of cold light under the sky. Boom, and the next moment, like a landslide, two armies and nearly 30,000 elites rushed towards the city of Samarkand.
......
"Ziyad, listen to my orders, strengthen the city defenses, change all the city defenses, send more men to each city gate, and garrison the city gates with four to five times the original number of troops. The city of Samarkand is thick and thick, which will be our most important means of fighting the Dons. As long as there is this city, even if it is a year, it will be difficult for the Tang people to break through. ”
Inside Samarkand, Abmuth/Lin paced up and down the Dome, his expression tense and his eyes filled with an unconcealable hint of anxiety. If you look closely, you can even see that his eyes are bloodshot.
In the battle of Talas, the Great Cannibal ushered in an unprecedented fiasco. Aybek was killed in battle, the Mamluk cavalry was heavily wounded, the Osmans were ambushed by Bahram, and most importantly, even the governor of the Northern War, Qudibo, died at the hands of the Tang people, and more than 400,000 Da*Rui were killed in the battle. Such a fiasco, just thinking about it is enough to make the scalp of any Governor of Great Food tingle.
Abmuth/Lin still didn't know how to go back and explain how to deal with the angry Caliph.
"Yes, the last will do it. ”
Ziad was also worried at this time, and he was in a hurry.
