After hearing Li Ke's question, Li Su couldn't help but fall into deep thought. The problem of the Great Food Empire is actually closely related to his layout in the Eastern Roman Empire.

If the Tang Dynasty mobilizes the strength of the whole country, coupled with the cooperation of Eastern Rome, it is actually capable of destroying the Great Food Empire.

Of course, for this, the Tang Empire is bound to pay a heavy price.

And after destroying the Great Food Empire, Datang will not get much benefit.

Because of the Great Food Empire, in the far west of the Tang Dynasty.

The Tang Dynasty's control over Persia and other places has become weak.

And the big food is even more distant.

The control is bound to be weaker.

If the control is too weak, I am afraid that it will not be long before it will rebel.

And between the Golden State and the Great Food Empire, there is also an Eastern Rome.

Therefore, if the Tang Dynasty wins a big meal, only Eastern Rome will benefit in the end.

At present, Li Su is still laying out Eastern Rome, how can he give Eastern Rome the opportunity to develop and grow?

Therefore, to eliminate the Great Food Empire, the Tang Dynasty needs to pay a huge price, not to mention, it will not get the benefits it deserves, and the wise will not take it.

Thinking of this, Li Su couldn't help but say: "Brother Huang, in my opinion, it's better to take his three administrative provinces!" ”

"Of the three administrative provinces, Datang just manages them, and if there are more, because of the long distance, it is also very difficult to manage."

Hearing Li Su's words, Li Ke couldn't help but smile and said: "That's good, the imperial brother will listen to the sixth brother, and he will take three administrative provinces." ”

……

At this time, Li Su's order had been transmitted to Huaxia City by phone, and the next step was to pass it to the Eastern Roman Empire.

And then the people over there will agitate the Eastern Romans and form enough pressure on the Arab Empire.

Taking the three administrative provinces of the Arab Empire was the minimum requirement for Li Su.

If the Eastern Romans really didn't know each other, Li Su didn't mind killing him.

For Li Su, destroying Eastern Rome is just not of great benefit.

It wasn't really that difficult for him.

However, Li Su also believes that Eastern Rome should not be so eye-opening, right?

In the days that followed, Khalid was on the verge of being tormented mad by the defenders of Persian City.

Khalid regretted taking on the task more and more.

It's been three days, and he's thought of more than a dozen ways to attack the city.

But apart from the loss of the lives of more than 10,000 soldiers, nothing was found.

Sometimes, Khalid hated having to do whatever it took to order all his soldiers to press it down.

At all costs, this Persian city will be taken.

But the price is bound to be very heavy.

It would take at least 150,000 or even 200,000 or more lives for them to accomplish the task.

And this time, they only dispatched a total of 600,000 troops, how could he waste the lives of more than 100,000 or 200,000 soldiers and fill in here?

This Persian city has become Khalid's chicken ribs.

Now, Khalid is even considering a way to raise the ground on the slope.

He was going to keep raising the ground outside a city wall, and when the cushion was as high as the city wall, then they would attack from a high position, and see how the Persian city would resist at that time.

Of course, this method of siege is almost invincible.

But there is one prerequisite, and that is that it must be an isolated city.

But has the city of Persia really become an isolated city?

Or, will Datang's reinforcements really arrive in three months?

The answer, of course, is no.

In just three days, the first wave of reinforcements from Datang came outside Persian County.

Subsequently, after they had reported their position to their superiors.

Once again, they were given the latest instructions.

Next, they drove the latest model of Datang's chariot into the Persian county with a bang.

The direction in which they were going was the location of the city of Persia.

In fact, Harris thought in his heart that it would take at least three months for Datang's reinforcements to arrive.

But Harris wasn't defenseless.

What he imagined was an army of hundreds of thousands of Datang.

Instead of small groups of reinforcements nearby.

Although at the beginning, Khalid wanted a quick solution.

I didn't expect to be here for so long.

But now, he has prepared a way to destroy the city.

Naturally, it is necessary to guard against the arrival of reinforcements from the Tang Dynasty.

And Khalid's greatest fear of Datang is actually the steel chariot.

If they run into the steel chariot again, they don't have a good solution.

Of course, it's not like there's no way around it.

This time, for example, Khalid ordered several armies to cut off the road in advance.

And they lay in wait after the circuit was broken.

If Datang sends a steel chariot over again.

If you encounter a short circuit, you will definitely not be able to pass.

If they abandon the cart and move forward, then their ambush army is waiting for them in front.

This time, it can be said that a foolproof plan has been prepared, and it is necessary to take Persian City.

But what Khalid never imagined was that Datang's reinforcements would come so quickly.

What he didn't expect was that Datang's steel chariot was once again updated.

This time, the steel chariot has been replaced by a tracked chariot.

And the roads they dug this time were all set up on the previous steel chariots.

The steel chariot of the past will definitely not pass.

If a small group of steel chariots really comes, they must build the road first.

And once the road is built, it will be discovered by them.

Therefore, the Arab Empire, the armies responsible for interception, were quite confident in their interception.

However, this time, Datang dispatched a brand-new tracked steel chariot.

The roads they destroyed were only a little slower for the tracked steel chariots, and they could still walk on the ground.

Soon, the steel chariots were driving over the road that had been destroyed by the soldiers of the Arab Empire, and headed for the ambush of their army.

The ambush of the Arab Empire consisted of simple fortifications.

After all, the front is a broken circuit.

Their fortifications were completely enough for the Tang army who abandoned the car.

However, where could they have thought that this time it was Datang's steel chariot that rushed over?

"This, this, isn't there a broken road ahead? They, how the hell did they rush over? ”

"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, we have fortifications here, and their cars can't pass!"

"Everyone obey the order, pick up the sword and gun, and prepare for battle!"

"But, but, their steel chariots are rushing over!"

"Really rushed over, aren't they afraid of overturning?"

However, the facts tell them that the Tang Army is really not afraid.

The steel chariot drove easily onto their fortifications and charged towards the place where they were in ambush.

And these soldiers of the Arab Empire, still stupidly holding knives and guns, looked at the steel chariot with a munbi face.

How do you fight?

These steel chariots are tall and mighty, and at first glance they can't deal with them with swords and guns.

Can their swords and guns split the skeleton of a steel chariot?

They had at least heard of the power of the steel chariot, and they were a little stupid at this time.

But the steel chariot did not pause in the slightest.

Towards them, it rumbled and crushed.

"Run!"

"Run!"

These Arab soldiers finally reacted, hurriedly threw away their weapons, turned around and ran.

Now, they wonder why their father and mother didn't give them eight legs, so that maybe they could outrun the steel chariot.

The ideal is very plump, and the reality is very skinny.

Two legs, after all, can't run the tracks.

Within a dozen meters, soldiers from the Arab Empire were overtaken by tracked steel chariots.

Then the butt and the shoes brought a close contact, and the next moment they were knocked to the ground, mercilessly crushed by the heavy steel chariot.

After being crushed, a vivid portrait of a person appeared on the ground.

It's level with the ground, and you can't even pick it out.

At this time, those Arab soldiers were extremely terrified in their hearts.

In particular, in their ears, they could hear the incessant screams coming from behind them.

And every scream means that they have a brother who was bragging together just now, who was crushed by the steel chariot.

In fact, these people are not very afraid of death.

Over the years, they have seen too much death and encountered too many life and death.

They have taken death lightly.

However, it was the first time they had experienced such a tragic death.

Just thinking about it, my heart will be hairy and seep panic.

The number of Arab soldiers who set up ambushes and intercepted them here was not very large, only a few thousand people.

It's not that they're arrogant, it's because the road ahead has been cut off.

In their cognition, once the Tang Army appears, it will inevitably build roads first.

If the number of Tang troops coming is huge, then their 5,000 people can completely warn and then mobilize a large army from behind.

Five thousand people are here, just to serve as a warning, and this number is enough.

But now, 5,000 Arab soldiers were being swept up by 3,000 tracked steel chariots.

Among the 5,000 Arab soldiers, it is not that there are no warriors, and it is not that there are no dogs jumping over the wall.

They also had warriors, from the flanks, who attacked the steel chariots with swords and guns.

However, their swords and spears could only leave a shallow mark on the steel chariot.

These marks are very light.

They figured out, even if the steel chariot stopped there, and let them chop it.

It is estimated that at the end of the day, their swords and guns will not be able to split the steel chariot.

After being chopped by them, the steel chariot rumbled past them.

He left behind a vivid portrait sculpture.

This scene is really scary.

They are warriors, and they are not afraid of death.

But they were afraid of such a horrific way of death.

They were swept away by the wolves of the steel chariots.

And the steel chariot was not in a hurry, following behind them, slowly chasing and crushing them.

These Arab soldiers, who were responsible for interception, were more than fifty miles away from Persian City.

Because of the pursuit of the steel chariot behind them, it took them only half an hour to run in front of the army besieging the Persian city.

They felt that they had never been so fast in their lives.

They ran out of breath, and their hearts were about to jump out of their mouths, and they had a strong feeling of wanting to vomit.

"No, not good. Tang Jun, come, come, run! ”

Before the siege of the Persian city was reached, the three thousand steel chariots suddenly accelerated.

Those Persian soldiers who have become the end of the crossbow, where do they still have the strength to escape the poisonous hands of the steel chariot at this time?

It was instantly engulfed by three thousand chariots, leaving only a terrible sound, and then an abrupt ceased scream.

There are also vivid portraits on the ground.

This scene strongly stimulated the Arab soldiers who were besieging the Persian city.

Where did these steel chariots of the Tang Army come from?

The soldiers sent to block it clearly cut off the road.

Why was he still being chased by the steel chariot all the way, and he didn't even have the time to warn in advance?

And the next moment, tracked steel chariots came straight for them.

Shout!

Shout! Shout!

Three thousand steel chariots, from the arrow holes, fired countless crossbow arrows.

These crossbow arrows are like life-seeking demons.

Each of them will take the lives of one or more Arab soldiers.

After years of development, the crossbow arrows of the Tang Army have become sharper, more tenacious, and more penetrating.

The armor of the Arab soldiers, in front of the crossbow arrows of the Tang army, was like tissue paper, vulnerable to a blow, and could be broken with a single blow.

And because they are very concentrated in siege soldiers, a crossbow arrow can even be a string of two, or even a string of three.

For a time, the Arab soldiers besieging the city fell in pieces.

In front of the steel chariot, the lives of their Arab soldiers were really as fragile as paper.

It was a complete slaughter, and they had no ability to resist in the face of the steel chariots.

In just a few moments, the Arab soldiers were defeated.

This is the fastest rout of their Arab soldiers, and even more than the last time they fought against the Tang Dynasty.

Because, the situation on the scene made them desperate to the extreme.

These Arab soldiers, scattered and fled, they lost their weapons, their armor was messy, and their minds were full of only one thought.

It's run, run, run!

Because if you take a slow step, you may be shot through by crossbow arrows, and even, you will be ruthlessly crushed by steel chariots.

And the speed of the steel chariot is far beyond the speed of their two feet.

In front of the steel chariot, they really have no way to ascend to heaven and no way to enter the earth.

Soon, General Khalid, as the commander-in-chief of the Arab Empire, saw this scene with his own eyes.

His soldiers, like pigs and dogs, were chased by the steel chariots of the Tang Dynasty.

His soldiers had fallen into despair and madness.

In order to flee for their lives, they can wield their swords and slash at their comrades.

Those wounded soldiers can even save their comrades and die with them.
