On the first day of the siege, the Persian army collected thousands of troops, and there was no major movement other than that, except for the shouting and cursing that continued until dark.

On a mound three miles north of Mulu City, Qin Ying looked at the lights on the city wall, the big cannibal was full of confidence in this city, although it seemed a little lost in the daytime because of the sudden arrival of the Persian army, but by sunset, everything had returned to normal.

"Are all the people digging the tunnels ready?"

Qin Ying asked a military general in front of her with a solemn face.

"Please rest assured, the 'siege camp' is all veterans of our Shenwu Army, and as long as it takes midnight to complete the arrangement. Although the walls of Mulu City are wide and tall, they are not yet to the extent that they cannot be blown up!"

The fortified battalion is a branch of the Shenwu Army that has been trained and organized separately after entering Chang'an, and is often responsible for attacking the city, of which blowing up the city wall is its most basic skill.

During the training, they experimented with walls of various material thicknesses and heights. The specifications of Mulu City were within the scope of the previous tests, so the captain of the fortified battalion looked like he was in the chest.

Qin Ying waved his hand, this was the first time he had led the army to attack independently, and it was an unplanned impromptu battle, with a heavy responsibility, it was good to say that if he lost, he didn't know what kind of bad impact it would have on the prime minister's overall plan.

However, as a soldier, who doesn't want to make meritorious contributions?

Who would let go of this opportunity in front of them?

Even if you take risks, you don't hesitate to take risks.

The Shenwu army can blow up the city wall, and everyone in Middle-earth knows it, but this is the west of the Western Regions, and people's concept of siege is still at the level of climbing the city and taking it hard, how can they expect that there is such a terrifying weapon that will blow up the entire section of the city wall?

"Three o'clock, can it explode?"

As the new generation of the Shenwu Army, his tactical thinking has broken away from the traditional set.

In such a tough battle as the siege of the city, we will never use limited manpower to pile up. The bluff during the day is a trick, and the bombing of the city at night is the main thing.

The lieutenant said in a deep voice:

"No problem, but the thickness of the walls of Mulu City is comparable to that of Shangjun County, so I'm afraid it won't be able to blow up a little. After a rough measurement during the day, five explosion points have been selected, and when they are blasted together, a large section of the northern wall of Mulu City will inevitably collapse!"

Qin Yan nodded and commended the captain.

"If Zhao Xiaojie captures Mulu City, I will definitely take the first credit for you in front of the prime minister!"

The lieutenant named Zhao Xiaojie immediately nodded to the ground on one knee and said abruptly:

"The last general will not dishonor the trust of the general!"

Leaving the western section of Mulu City, Qin Yan led the people to continue westward.

There were also ambushes of the Persian army, waiting for a large number of routs to pass by when the city was broken, and then taking the opportunity to annihilate them in one fell swoop.

This is to reduce the living force of the Great Cannibal as much as possible, otherwise after the rout of Mulu City escapes, as long as they organize and gather again, they will soon be able to regain their combat effectiveness again.

Qin Yan's battle plan was quite meticulous, and every detail was considered flawlessly.

Soon, when the time passed, Qin Yan and his entourage arrived at the surrender camp of the first battalion of Danlie.

It was mainly guarded by the Persians, and in fact there were not many Tang people who came with the army on this expedition, and there were no more than 1,000 people in the full battle. The Persians were the absolute main force in this siege of Mulu City.

The Tang Dynasty sent a considerable number of "advisors" to the newly formed Persian army, but Qin Yan's status was not that of an ordinary advisor, as he also held the position of Persian general, and in addition to being responsible for training, he also commanded and promoted all armies.

The supervision of the barracks is also marked with rules and guidance in the Shenwu army, and these methods are naturally moved to the Persian army as they are, judging from the current situation, although the training days are short, the effect of their implementation is still quite good.

Almost all of the surrendered troops have been screened, and in addition to registering, they have also been divided and placed in layers, although this has made these surrendered troops incapacitated, but it also ensures to the greatest extent that they will not suddenly cause trouble to the Persian army from the inside.

……

Saeed dragged his tired body to the governor's palace, where he had already laid down to rest, but was suddenly summoned by Abbas.

The old Governor was sitting cross-legged on a thick blanket, and a military newspaper was spread out on the low table in front of him.

When Abbas looked up and saw Said, he beckoned him to sit down and handed over the newspaper in front of him.

"Look, here's the rebel's specific message!"

Said took the newspaper and skimmed through it quickly, and saw that it was densely packed with many figures, including the size of the Persian rebels and some specific figures of the infantry cavalry.

Seeing this, he couldn't help but secretly admire that Abbas was able to get the basic information of the Persian rebels so quickly, which showed that the strength of the Great Food Army in Mulu City should not be underestimated.

As a result, Said was a little worried about the Tang Dynasty generals outside the city, and he learned from the communication with the connectors that the Persian army was led by Tang people, and they were all the best in the Shenwu army, which also showed Qin Jin's determination to assist in the establishment of the Persian state.

However, Abbas is also a person who has fought for half his life, and his experience in fortifying fortified positions and defending cities is also extremely rich.

Whether the Tang people were the opponent of this cunning old donkey was still in Saeed's heart.

According to the information in this military report, the Persian army that attacked Mulu City this time was only about 30,000, and the number may even be less than 30,000, including a number of Tang Dynasty people, but the specific number is unknown.

"The Persian army is not large, and my Mulu City has strong walls, so it should not be a problem to hold on and wait for reinforcements. ”

Abbas spoke slowly, and then he immediately added:

"This is only the worst outcome, as long as either Iprasim and Ayi lead the army back to help, those stupid Persian rebels will have only one way to hell!"

His tone was gloomy, his expression was calm, and he couldn't see any change in his heart at all.

But judging from Said's years of experience in reading people, Abbas must be extremely confident in his heart at this time, and even has some small expectations.

As for what exactly is expected, it is difficult to guess with ordinary minds.

All in all, this defensive battle in Mulu City is likely to be thrilling for Abbas.

Said let out a long sigh in his stomach, it seems that the prime minister of the Tang Dynasty is not as victorious and brave as people describe, and in front of the old donkey Abbas, he has to go through a lot of trouble.

However, this is precisely a good thing for Said, and only then will he have a chance to prove his worth!

Suddenly, Said faintly felt his body sway slightly with the ground, and there seemed to be a faint door thunder outside, but it was faintly intermittent, and he didn't hear it really......
