Chapter 607: The hard work was not in vain
Umar and the others hurriedly got on their horses and ran desperately.
The unknown cavalry pursued for a while, and gradually lost the trace of Umar and the others, and they stopped chasing and returned.
Umar fled with his ranger for a while, and when he saw that he had escaped from his pursuers, he also stopped.
On the eve of the imminent march of the Arab armies into Kabul, such an army suddenly appeared, and the Umar had to figure out where they came from.
Umal asked, "Who among you knows where those people come from?" ”
The other people were far away at that time and couldn't say anything, and the two soldiers who followed him had never seen the Tang Dynasty army, so they couldn't say one, two, three.
After thinking about it, Umar ordered some of the people to pick up the arrows they had shot to see what clues they could find, and he took the other group and galloped in the direction of the Kabul gate.
The sun gradually rose, and the fog dissipated little by little under the dazzling sunlight.
When Umar came to the city gate, he saw the Persian horsemen outside the gate, and they did not dare to get too close, but hid in a small forest in the distance, and observed the situation at the city gate.
Soon after, a large number of horses came out of the city, lined up on both sides of the road, and then a group of Persian officials came out on horseback, and they dismounted, and waited there.
After a short time, a team of men and horses appeared, and it should be the army they encountered earlier.
Now it can be seen clearly, the army is all cavalry, lined up in six columns, gradually approaching the city gate, and then stopped, and the following men and horses gradually caught up, and then they began to form a group.
Umar observed for a moment and asked, "Do any of you know who they are?" ”
One soldier said: "My lord, when I was a child, I went to Shanzhou City in the Tang Dynasty and saw them, they were the army of the Tang Dynasty. ”
Umar's heart tightened, and she asked again, "Are you sure?" ”
The soldier said, "I'm sure, if you look at their military flag, the square character in the middle is the Tang character of the Tang Dynasty." ”
At this time, another soldier said: "My lord, it must be true, I followed my father to the Yumen Pass of the Tang Dynasty when I was a child, and I also saw their army. ”
Although Umar is young, he has been in battle for a long time and has a wealth of experience in warfare. He knew that the sudden appearance of the Tang Dynasty people here would cause great trouble for the next move of the Arab army. This must be reported to the Governor immediately.
"Toot, toot, toot", at this time, the trumpet sounded at the gate of the city to welcome the guests, and the army headed towards the city.
Uma'er and the others have been watching the situation at the gate of the city, and it took a full hour for the army of the Tang Dynasty to all enter the city of Kabul, before they entered the city, there have been six columns, very good, a total of more than 9,000 people, followed by dozens of carriages, covered with tarpaulin, I don't know what is below.
Umar and the others left the woods and walked towards the place where they had been hiding for the past few days.
They didn't notice that several Persian rangers quietly followed them.
Kabul, Governor's Palace.
According to the Persian custom, they ate two meals a day, and the well-liked people would drink some goat's milk and eat some fruit or dried fruit before nightfall.
Li You is not used to it, at noon, Wang Liao and others cook for them alone, Hamid has been in Chang'an for a long time, and his eating habits are the same as Li You.
At noon, Li You and Hamid continued to eat roasted whole lamb, and he wanted to make up for the loss of cumin mutton that he had not eaten all these years.
Qualcomm ate a little too much yesterday, and today's appetite is not so good, and it is a little nauseous to see the greasy mutton. He observed Li You's actions and found that the prince's eating method was indeed more exquisite, chewing slowly, and controlling the quantity, not like he gobbled it up, no wonder people wouldn't eat it.
He really didn't have much appetite now, so he drank wine and chatted with the white tiger.
Abu Hasan was a little nervous, and he held the wine glass in his hand and shook it slightly, looking a little uneasy.
Gasif only ate breakfast at 10 o'clock in the morning, and now he must not be able to eat, he held a knife, studied how to divide the rice on the plate in front of him, into equal parts, and he also relied on boring actions to calm the anxiety in his heart.
Finally, the man who Gasif was waiting for came.
The man was a junior Persian officer, who came to Gasif and whispered to him for a while. Gasif nodded, waving for the officer to leave.
Gasifu walked up to Hamid and said excitedly: "Your Majesty, the great cannibal rangers have watched our team, and they have already sent someone back to Turro to report the news. ”
Everyone is very happy, and it seems that everyone's efforts have not been in vain since last night.
It turned out that Li You, Hamid and others were using a plan to hide from the world.
Li You's men only had more than 200 followers, and the 1,000 Tang troops brought by Mi Huai, in order to create the illusion that a large number of Tang troops had entered Kabul City, they used the Persian army to disguise themselves as Tang troops.
Gasif's Iron Guard is fully equipped with the Don Army, and with the head wrapped around the helmet removed, it looks like a standard Don Army from a distance.
Yesterday, Abu Hassan found some militiamen from the eastern front, put on the armor of the Don army, plus the existing Don army, gathered enough 2,000 people, and quietly left the city of Kabul at night with the Iron Guard led by Gasif.
This morning, this disguised Don army drove to the city of Kabul with great fanfare. In order to prevent the Great Food Rangers from seeing the flaws, the Tang army marched on both sides of the queue, with the Iron Guards sandwiched in the middle, taking advantage of the cover of the morning fog and driving towards the city of Kabul.
The flag of the Tang Army was ready-made, and the weapons and armor were also the equipment of the Tang Army. Outside, there are Tang troops with real oriental faces, and coupled with the fog, it is difficult for the big cannibals to see the flaws.
Even when the army entered the city gates, the fog had already dissipated, but the cannibal rangers did not dare to approach, and they could not see the flaws from a distance.
While doing all this, in order to find out if the Great Cannibal had seen the movements of the Tang Army, Gasif sent a large number of Persian rangers to hide in advance where the Great Eater Rangers might appear outside the city. They were given the order to spot the Arab rangers and follow them covertly.
The officer's report just now, confirming the actions of the Don Army, had already attracted the attention of the Great Cannibals, and it had already been reported to their superiors.
Hamid smiled: "Okay, it seems that our efforts have not been in vain. ”
Li You, Mi Huai and others also laughed.
Abu Hassan was still a little worried. He said: "His Royal Highness the Prince of the Tang Dynasty, for the time being, they have concealed the great cannibals, they should hesitate and will not launch an attack in the short term." But I'm afraid this matter won't be hidden for long, and once the big cannibal knows the truth, he may attack early.
Yesterday, you said that there are still countermeasures, can you tell the ministers? ”
