Mahdi smiled and raised his hand to point in the direction of the battlefield.

"Listen, the Tang people are playing those bluff tricks again!"

The sound rumbled incessantly, and people on horseback seemed to feel the earth tremble.

This made him feel a little weak in his heart.

Said felt the same way, and once again raised his eyes to look at the battlefield, but there was nothing unusual about it.

Gradually, everyone discovered the anomaly, and thick smoke drifted from the northwest direction of the battlefield, and there was a situation that enveloped the battlefield.

It's terrifying.

Mahdi was surprised:

"Could it be that the Tang people plan to set fire to the barracks?"

As soon as the words came out, even he himself felt that it was impossible, if he could set fire to the camp of the army so easily, there would be no need to fight on the battlefield, he only needed to stay at night and set fire to the camp.

But he saw Said's eyes staring straight at the battlefield, and muttered vaguely:

"This, this is the cannon of the Tang people!"

"In addition to making a loud noise like thunder and lightning, does the Tang artillery also have the effect of making smoke?"

He only felt that it was really inexplicable for the Tang people to make these messy things, how could the confrontation between the two armies be swayed by these things?

It took a while for Said to reply:

"Your Highness, the Tang artillery is used to kill people! However, it is not to scare people, Your Highness still wants to be careful, be careful!"

Mahdi's gaze was staring straight at the billowing white smoke that was getting thicker and thicker on the battlefield, and he could smell a faint stench of burnt in his nose.

Said had seen weapons called firearms in the Shenwu army more than once, and with it the smell of burning sulfur.

He had a hunch that it seemed that the Shenwu Army was likely to be Dongzhen this time. However, why didn't the Shenwu Army act according to the expected steps?

When he looked at Mahdi again, all he saw was the back of a man on a war horse.

Mahdi had a premonition that something was wrong and decided to return to the barracks as soon as possible.

The horses neighed, the horses' hooves stomped on the ground, and everywhere was tense and suffocating.

"Your Highness, Your Highness be careful......"

Said urged the horse and followed.

After returning to the barracks, Mahdi immediately summoned the commanders who were sitting in the barracks and told them to be ready to attack at any time.

Originally, the Great Food Army came with the power of victory to annihilate the new Persian army, and it was a veritable attacker, but now it suddenly attacked and defended in a different position, which surprised many people.

"Your Highness, aren't the Tang people cowardly, why would they launch a surprise attack today?"

Mahdi's face was gloomy, and there were not many waves in his gaze, only his cold voice.

"The two armies are facing each other, and the attacking side often has to pay more to win, and now the Tang people are not self-sufficient, so let them get enough lessons they deserve, and I will ask for credit for you in front of the caliphate in the future!"

In fact, the generals of the Great Food Eater have long been unable to suppress the fighting spirit in their hearts, Mahdi has been restraining them from acting rashly, and they are all holding back the anger in their hearts, and now they finally have the opportunity to attack and fight, where will there be a moment of hesitation.

In a few words, Mahdi arranged the combat missions of the various units, and the generals rushed away.

Soon, only Mahdi and a dozen of his retinue remained in the tent, and, of course, Saeed, who had never left his side.

"Said, how did Abbas fight against the Shenwu Army in Mulu City?"

Saeed said:

"Your Highness, the first siege of Mulu City was not the Shenwu Army, but the new Persian army led by Ku Silao!"

Mahdi always thought that it was the Shenwu army that caused Abbas to suffer defeat, and the so-called new Persian army was just a trick of the Tang people. Now seeing that Said insisted on sticking to his previous statement, he couldn't help but pay attention to it.

As we all know, Abbas's prestige within the dynasty has always been the leader of the various armies, and the Persians were able to make Abbas so embarrassed, why would they be easily annihilated by themselves?

This is obviously illogical, unless, there is something unknown about it.

Mahdi felt that he had to figure out the reasons for this, otherwise it would affect his judgment of the combat effectiveness of the Tang army.

In fact, the miasma on the battlefield engaged in by the Shenwu Army is very different from the vicious battles he has experienced in his life, and the other party only hears the momentum, but does not see the substance.

"Your Highness, the villain has a suggestion, I don't know if you should say it?"

"You can say whatever you want with me, and you don't have to worry about anything. ”

Said thought for a moment, and then said slowly:

"The Shenwu Army is playing tricks, Your Highness can wait for the smoke on the battlefield to dissipate before sending troops to fight, or even take the initiative to attack, now just wait and see what happens, it is the most beneficial for my big food!"

On the way east, Mahdi had always regarded him only as an adviser who could provide information about the Tang Dynasty, and had not yet reached the point where he could be a military staff officer, but today he suddenly felt in his heart that he needed to pay attention to Said's opinion.

Because many things along the way have been said by Saeed one by one, and now in the face of an unknown enemy, seeking stability is the most important thing.

Immediately, for the first time in such a short period of time, Mahdi changed his military orders, and immediately recalled the commanders of the various commanders and let them hold the camp.

"Let's go, go and see what kind of conspiracy the Tang people are playing!"

Escorted by his retinue, Mahdi ascended to the towering tower of the barracks, which had a wide view of the barracks and could easily see the surroundings of the barracks.

It's just that today's situation is more special, and the battlefield as far as the eye can see is billowing smoke, which looks bizarre, like a world where the devil exists.

The wind was strong on the tower, and even though it was early summer, it was still cool.

The retinue clothed me with a big coat for the Mahdi, and he only cared intently to observe the enemy's situation, and did not care about the warmth of the wind.

He only felt that there were countless Tang soldiers in the white smoke, and it seemed that they were using the cover of the white smoke to launch an attack on the military camp and fortress.

Gradually, the smoke drifted towards the barracks by the wind, and there was a great posture that the barracks were also shrouded in it.

As the stench of sulphur grew stronger in his snorts, Mahdi's eyes sharpened.

Everyone could see that he was thinking about how to deal with it.

"Said, the Tang Dynasty firearms you said could not only emit smoke, but also kill people, how did they kill people?"

This question asks the crucial point, which Saeed did not specifically describe. Before that, more people within the Great Food Court only regarded Said's description as a scene in the Arabian Nights.

Now, Mahdi finally realizes that he must pay attention to it......
