The walls of Mulu City had collapsed again, and the soldiers were not as panicked as they had been the first time, but it was a fatal blow to Abbas. As the situation continues, he has lost control of the actual situation.

Nothing could be more terrible than this, he had experienced hundreds of great battles in his life, and in addition to brilliant victories, there were also countless critical moments. But in the past, even when danger came, he could still control the situation.

Today, Abbas knew nothing about these so-called Persian rebels, or even how they had brought down the walls of Mulu.

Some say that the rebels used the power of ghosts and gods, while others say that the collapse of the city wall was due to natural coincidence.

But how could there be such a coincidence in the world? It must be that the rebels used some unknown weapons.

As it was about to dawn, Abbas suddenly thought of something in a daze, and immediately came to his senses and immediately ordered someone to ask for Said.

"Said, how's the artillery overseer?"

Said was stunned by the question, because Abbas's attention had long been taken away from the rebel raid and the collapse of the city walls, and he had not mentioned it for many days. Today he suddenly mentioned artillery, so that Saeed couldn't figure out what the old donkey had come up with to solve the current dilemma.

"Your Excellency the Governor, is there already a way to crack it?"

Abbas shook his head and said:

"You say, can the collapse of the city wall for no reason have anything to do with such a sharp weapon as artillery?"

He had never seen a cannon, but from Said's vivid description, he could almost conclude that it was a powerful weapon. Moreover, there is an important characteristic that he has been ignoring before, and that is the smell of burning sulfur.

When the walls collapsed, there was a stench of sulphur in the air.

With this judgment, it is not surprising that many doubts are attributed to the artillery.

This reminded Said, and he had been wondering what method the Tang people had used, and at this time he felt like he was suddenly opened.

Without waiting for Said to answer, Abbas slapped his thigh and said loudly:

"It must be so, there must be Tang people in the rebels!"

Abbas finally figured out the key to this, the reason why the rebels dared to surprise attack Mulu City, and the reason why the more than 20,000 foot soldiers he sent out disappeared without a trace, must be because of the support of the Tang people behind them.

Otherwise, how could those Persians have been able to establish a state so quickly in the north of Tocharia?

Said felt a pang in his heart, it seemed that this old donkey was really not stupid, and without the support of specific information, he could judge that the rebels outside the city were commanded by the Tang people just by clues.

"Artillery, that is, artillery, Said, you have to do your best to make artillery in the shortest time, this kind of weapon can not only fight against the arrogant Tang people, but also defeat those invincible heretics in the West!"

After having an idea, Abbas's thinking immediately diverged and thought more long-term, and even thought of using this sharp weapon from the East to deal with the barbaric infidels in the West.

"The most important thing now is where Ayi and his 20,000 foot soldiers went, with the strength of the Tang and Persian rebels at this time, it is absolutely difficult to annihilate them all......"

Said was dumbfounded, Abbas was acting like a desperate general and more like an ambitious victor.

"The villain must live up to his mission!"

What else can Said say, he can only promise with his mouth, as long as he can build it or not, it is not up to him.

He was still waiting for the Tang people to contact him in the city, and the general outside the city had sent a message to come in and take Mulu City without blood, rather than taking a ruin.

Now it seems that the time has come for me to show my talents.

For this reason, Saeed was also fully prepared, and personally drew a map of Mulu City, which was detailed to include every street, every official office of the big cannibal, including the location of the wealthy in the city.

For more than a month since he came to Mulu City, Saeed has been trying to improve this map, and now it is finally almost completed. I believe that with this map, it should be like a tiger for the Tang people outside the city.

However, the news that Said received was very disappointing, because the general named Qin Ying actually sent a handwritten letter, and in the letter, he made it clear that he would not capture Mulu City.

And, to give him a great credit, and to help him gain the trust of Abbas once and for all.

Said had a bad premonition in his heart, the Tang people wanted to use Mulu City to increase their weight, and their intention was obviously to have a bigger goal, to look at the big food, for the Tang people, the only thing that was more attractive than Mulu City was Ctesiphon.

Although the letter did not explicitly state this, Said could have guessed that he might not be able to avoid Ctesifon's trip.

Ctesiphon's memory of Said has faded over time, and he was only ten years old when he left Ctesiphon, and his grandfather and father had told him more than once since he fled that he would never come back in this life, this was a dangerous place.

However, after most of his life, his destiny was still to return there.

The situation in Ctesiphon today is also very different from that of the Umayyad dynasty, when the second Abbasid caliph al-Mansur succeeded to the throne and built a new capital near Ctesiphon, and it is said that even the name of the new capital had already been given.

Does Baghdad, an unfamiliar name, also mean that the Abbasids had greater ambitions than the Umayyads?

There is one thing that Said has not figured out until now, that is, in what way did the Tang people want to give themselves this great gift, could it be that the rebels left on their own after half of the city wall was blown up?

It's too fake to do that, and if he doesn't, where is his role?

After thinking about it for a long time, Said finally smiled helplessly, the development of things far exceeded his expectations, and the ambitions and goals of the Tang people seemed to be beyond his imagination, so why bother thinking about these things?

Moreover, Qin Ying's secret letter also made it clear that he can fully cooperate with Abbas now, and must let Abbas's trust in him go further.

After thinking for a long time, Said suddenly woke up, and quickly picked up the secret letter and put it on the flame of the oil lamp, and in just a moment, the flame suddenly became larger, and in the blink of an eye, it was quickly extinguished, leaving only the ashes scattered on the table.

It is safest to burn this "incriminating evidence" that can kill him.

Said had never done anything like this, and his instinct for secrecy was not very sensitive, but now that Ctesiphon was getting closer, the signs of danger had begun to send chills down his spine.
