On an unknown hill, hundreds of black-robed and black-armored Praetorian Guards stood still like stone statues, and only one man in an official's robe danced in his hands.

"The general personally went out this time, and the Tang people he beat must have fled like cats and mice!"

This man was none other than Muhammad, who had usurped Elam, and he had also participated in the siege of the Tang army last night.

Ibn is the deputy commander of the Praetorian Guard, and this time Mansur gave him the task not only to capture Elam, but also to defend it to the death, because Elam is an important hub between the northwest and southeast coasts of the empire, and there is no room for failure.

At the beginning, this place was given to Khazar as a fief, on the one hand, in order to appease his own brother who had made pioneering achievements, and on the other hand, he never expected that he would one day defect to the Tang people, and bring a more far-reaching potential crisis to the empire.

After capturing Elam, he thought that Khazar would be a complete defeat, but this person actually took refuge in the Tang people, and personally led the Tang people back to kill them.

Before this, Ibn had foreseen that the Tang people would definitely follow Khazar to kill them, so in order to confuse them, he deliberately released the news that the Praetorian Guard had returned to Ctesiphon.

Sure enough, both Khazar and the Tang people were fooled, and not only did they accidentally catch a big fish that they bumped into stupidly.

"Don't be too complacent, if you are proud, you will despise the enemy, and if you are the enemy, you are likely to be defeated by the enemy, understand?"

Ibn did not take pleasure in the success of the overall strategy, but taught Muhammad not to be too complacent, otherwise the advantages already gained would turn into disadvantages.

Al-Mansur, who was good at war, preferred to use the usual steady man, and this Ibn was especially exemplary of examples.

"Yes, yes, the general's lesson is that the villain has written it down, and he will definitely not ......"

However, Muhammad's winning streak was subdued by Ibn when he discovered that something he could not understand, or rather never before, appeared in the military town of the Don.

The charging Praetorian infantry seemed to have suffered a heavy blow, and Ibn was somewhat confused by the distance. So he immediately left the hill with his escort and moved closer to the battlefield.

The reason for choosing this place to watch the battle was that Ibon expected the battle to end before dark, but it seems that it should not be possible to end the battle as planned.

"General, general, wait for me......"

Muhammad was left behind, and he and his entourage, fearing that they would be left alone and caught by the Dons, hurried after him.

Ibn came to a position about five hundred paces from the formation, and this time he could see and hear clearly.

The strange thunder also became more and more rumbling and deafening, and even made people mistakenly think that this battlefield province without a trace of clouds was actually rolling thunder.

Everything has become unpredictable, Iben's heart is very heavy, just this morning, everything is still under control, and annihilating this Tang soldier who is not able to collide with himself should be as simple as a wolf eating a sheep.

But who knew that the accident appeared so suddenly, and the Tang people actually took out such a terrifying weapon.

The infantry of the Great Eclipse were still charging lifelessly, and the Tang people's weapons that could emit muffled thunder had terrifying power, causing his soldiers to suffer a large number of casualties.

The casualties are not horrifying, but the earth-shattering momentum.

At the same time that he was secretly horrified in his heart, the Great Eclipse infantry began to show signs of rout, and the constant artillery bombardment made it impossible for them to withstand this mental and physical pressure.

This sudden appearance was a little overwhelming to Ibn as a result, but he tried to calm himself down so that no one could tell that he was in a state of panic.

Muhammad and his men chased after him, and when he saw the scattering of the Great Eater's infantry, he was so frightened that he almost fell off his horse.

"General, general, what's going on? Is our army cheating?"

Ibn was so annoyed by this Muhammad that he kicked him off his horse and left him to fend for himself.

But reason tells him not to be angry, but to pretend to be confident.

"It's not a fraud, the Tang people's weapons are too powerful, let's withdraw the troops first!"

Withdrawing his troops was the most appropriate thing Ibn could think of, and if he continued to hold on, his morale would have collapsed, and victory would be almost impossible, and he would even suffer an unprecedented defeat.

"What? Withdraw? Didn't that make Qajar succeed?"

Muhammad was frightened, he was still a little apprehensive at first, but now he saw that the deputy commanders of the Praetorian Guard, who had always been extremely calm and well-founded, had shown weakness in front of the Tang people, and he was completely confused.

"No, no, no, the general must still have a way, Khazar is a stupid donkey, how, how can he, how can he ......"

Ibn said coldly:

"Don't worry, Khazar is not so easy to recapture Elam, today's defeat is not that the enemy is too strong, but that the strength of the other party is not estimated, from now on, they will never taste victory again!"

At the end of the sentence, Ibn even began to gnash his teeth.

Born in the Praetorian Guard, Ibn had a wealth of combat experience, and immediately ordered one cavalry to attack the Tang people's flanks and rear flanks, while the other cavalry stayed behind to prevent the enemy from pursuing quickly and buy time for the foot soldiers to withdraw from the battlefield as soon as possible.

Muhammad was terrified, and although Qajar had become incompetent over the years, he was also known as a lion-like figure, and he had never been soft on his enemies and betrayers, and he had seen Qajar throw a traitor into a lion's cage and let him be bitten to death.

Many people had only heard about Qajar's brutality, but he had seen it with his own eyes.

Even if this guy is as stupid as a donkey now, he is cruel and does not distinguish between clever and stupid, and Muhammad shuddered at the thought of Khazar taking back the city of Elam, and he and his family would be punished and tortured in the most cruel way.

He must not see that happening.

"We must hold on, General, we can't withdraw, we lost the first battle, the army is discouraged, morale is low, can we still hold Elam?"

Ibn was a little laughing and crying, this guy said that Khazar was stupid like a donkey, but in fact he was a stupid and ridiculous donkey himself.

"You idiot, today's battle has been in decline, so I can only find another opportunity to fight again, and get out of the way for me......"

This time, Ibn did not relent, and whipped Muhammad who stood in his way.

Muhammad could not dodge, and the whip struck his face firmly, and immediately a trail of blood appeared, and he screamed in such pain that he almost fell from his horse.
