Chapter 1221: Cowardly Groundhog
Abbas's face was filled with irrepressible excitement, and he began to wave his arms frequently, which was his subconscious habit when he was excited. Said could see at a glance that he was in a good mood at this time, and said:
"Congratulations to the Abbas brothers, if Iprahim can come back as scheduled, it is better to drag the Persians outside the city and let them not return!"
"Brother Said is right, you can't let the Persians take advantage of it like this, the 600,000 dinars swallowed must be spit out......"
With Said's beginnings, many people began to make a move, suggesting action against the Persian rebels outside the city.
"You're all right, but the most urgent issue to be solved now is to keep Mulu City, once the war starts, can you guarantee that Persian will not be able to break into the city?"
Abbas's fluttering rhetorical question stopped everyone, the current Mulu City can be said to be leaking everywhere, almost none of the four city walls are intact, only the gaps that can be easily passed through have reached four or five, and the rest of the collapsed sections are even more difficult to measure.
After more than ten days of tossing, the city defense facilities of Mulu City were basically destroyed by the Persian rebels, and there was a precedent for Persian soldiers to attack the city.
I don't know when the big cannibals in Mulu City mentioned that the Persians no longer had the vigorous self-confidence they used to have, but they were still a little unconfident.
Seeing that it was cold, Saeed hurriedly came forward to play a round.
"Maybe we can wait for the Persian troops to withdraw halfway, and then attack together with Iprasin!"
As soon as this statement came out, even if someone praised:
"Okay! Divide and attack, that's a good point! In this way, the possibility of the Persians threatening Mulu City will be avoided, and you can also concentrate superior forces to carry out a beautiful counterattack! What the Persians took from Mulu City not only had to stay, but they also had to pay a sufficient price!"
Abbas's face was swollen with bursts of red tide, obviously under the long-term suppression, this emotional outburst was extremely violent, making Saeed feel caught off guard.
In the past, Abbas always gave people a deep sense of scheming, but today he has swept away his previous style and become radical and aggressive!
However, there are no enough capable people in Mulu City to lead the battle, although Abbas still has more than a dozen powerful old troops by his side, but the poor performance in the previous city defense battle has fully proved that they have long lost their courage and ability.
Among the many unsuitable candidates for commander-in-chief, Abbas even favored Said, and when his gaze swept over Said's face, Said said secretly in his heart:
"This errand cannot be promised in any way, and it will be a tragedy for myself no matter how it ends!"
Fortunately, Abbas did not make an immediate decision, but fell into deep thought with his hand on his chin.
There was a sudden silence in the hall, and everyone waited patiently and anxiously for the old governor to make up his mind.
While waiting, military reports from outside the city were sent twice in succession, both confirming that the Persians had withdrawn.
The withdrawal of the Persians also confirmed from the side that the news of Iprasin's imminent return to Mulu City was true and reliable, otherwise they would not have squeezed out the wealth in Mulu City, how could they leave easily?
The table was slammed with a bang, and Abbas suddenly got up and said:
"I will personally lead the troops to pursue, and send someone to tell Iprahim that this time it will be the attack of his uncle and nephew, so that he is extremely well prepared, and do not insult the honor of the family!"
Hearing this, Said's heart moved again, and he felt that he needed to dissuade Abbas from personally commanding the army, after all, Abbas's prestige and ability were the best choice, in case ...... In case of any recurrence, this is not something he is happy to see.
"Brother Abbas, the situation in Mulu City is also very bad, the Persians are very excited, if you don't suppress it, I'm afraid you will make a move that is not conducive to the empire!"
A light sentence made Abbas's face gloomy, and the opposition in the city has always been a problem for him, especially after the blatant confiscation of a large number of Persians led by Nassah, the centrifugal tendency of the Persians in Mulu City has become even more serious.
"If that's the case, it's better to arrest and kill all the Persians first, so as to save them from causing trouble for the empire again!"
Abbas had always maintained a brutal strategy against the Persians and infidels, to which Saeed did not say a word, and the others remained silent.
"Why didn't you speak? Didn't you rush to pursue the Persians just now? Have you lost even the courage to kill the unarmed donkeys?
Several big food generals involuntarily lowered their heads, and a series of rhetorical questions really hit the sore spot in their hearts, in the face of the former vanquished, these conquerors were all timid like groundhogs who only knew how to drill holes, and even lost the courage to fight head-on.
At the same time that the general was ashamed, Qin Ying had already escorted the goods worth 600,000 dinars on the way back to Duto.
After thinking about it for a few days, he decided that it would be more beneficial for the Shenwu Army to leave the Great Cannibal with a ruined and troubled Mulu City than to take it down.
As long as Mulu City is still in the hands of the big cannibals, the big cannibals will desperately defend this ruined city at all costs, so that the big cannibals gathered here will become the target of Ming Huanghuang's attack, and the prime minister's army will come in person in the future, which will let them taste what the end is like.
What's more, Abbas scavenged the people's wealth in Mulu City to gather the 600,000 dinars, which will inevitably lose the hearts of the people, and the prestige he has built up over the years has also collapsed rapidly, and the trouble caused to him by the people in the city may not be lower than that of the Persian army.
Qin Ying was happy to see Abbas slowly deplete his strength, and the Persian recruits he led captured 600,000 dinars almost bloodlessly, and this money alone was enough to support the expenditure of Persia's existing troops for more than a year, and it was not a problem to even continue to recruit troops.
However, before returning to the city, he still had to solve a little trouble, that is, Iprasin, who had been blocked to the north of the city, led his 5,000 cavalry on the way back to Mulu City.
He felt the need to make an ambush on the stupid donkey of the big cannibal on the way.
Both Khorasan and Tocharian were accustomed to using donkeys to describe stupid opponents, and Qin Ying also learned this way of scolding in the shortest possible time.
Soon, Qin Ying found that there were also traces of the Great Food Scout faintly tracking behind him, it seemed that Abbas, the old donkey, was still not convinced by the toss, and it was time to teach him some more lessons.
