The sky is clear, the sun is dazzling, the visibility in the wilderness is extremely high, only to see the distant mountains green, the fields are green, and the warm spring breeze is blowing, which is refreshing.

It's a good day to go out.

The walls of Kabul's north gate are more than three feet high, made of rammed earth and glutinous rice water, and are extremely hard when dried.

The two-zhang high heavy black-lacquered gate, with brass nails, was built of stone around it, and on top of it was a wide platform, on which the castle tower was built.

On the city tower near the position of the arrow battlement, a wooden platform with a length and width of one zhang and a height of more than four feet was temporarily erected, just above the arrow battlement, sitting on it, the situation outside the city was clear at a glance.

Li You and Hamid sat on a high platform, drinking a little wine and watching the enemy's formation.

Under the city of Kabul, about 2,500 steps away from the city gate, the 20,000 horses of the Tang army were already in full array. In front of the formation of the Don army, there were scouts all over the place, who came and went to deliver news.

In the position of the Chinese army of the Tang Army, there was a four-wheeled carriage, which was actually not a carriage, but a wooden tower about two zhang high, pulled by four horses.

On the top floor of the wooden tower, there is a square platform with a fence, and a thick flagpole is tied to one corner, and Xue Rengui's handsome flag flutters on the flagpole. On the platform stands a flag officer, responsible for observing and passing orders.

In the middle of the wooden tower, there is also a platform on which two red-lacquered war drums are erected, which are also used to transmit orders.

In front of the wooden tower were Xue Rengui and other generals, and in front of them were guards holding shields. On their flanks and behind them, were neatly arranged cavalry ranks.

Xue Rengui and the others are waiting, waiting for the Great Food Army to appear.

"Report." A scout sped in.

"Marshal Xue, the cavalry forward of the Great Cannibal is 10 miles according to this." Scout reports.

Xue Rengui said: "Let's explore and report again." ”

The scout mounted and galloped away.

In the governor's palace in Kabul, the city guards and chieftains who came to the meeting were nervous, fearing that the Tang army would not be able to reach the cannibals, so they took them to death in Kabul.

Ma Zhou and Abu Hassan did not cease to comfort the people.

Abu Hassan said: "You don't have to worry, Your Majesty and His Royal Highness the King of Qi of the Tang Dynasty are on the tower of the city gate, and they already have a strategy to break the enemy." Let's take advantage of this time to study the main content of the meeting and ask targeted questions in the future. ”

However, despite their persuasion, the guards and chieftains were still uneasy. Where to put the mind into what to study.

Several chiefs were brave, and they offered to go to the castle tower to watch the battle. They said that if necessary, in order to protect His Majesty and the city of Kabul, they would also fight the Great Cannibals.

The others also offered to go to the castle tower to watch the battle. They didn't want to go to war, but they wanted to see what the situation was, and if they couldn't do it, they quickly slipped away.

Abu Hassan said that the city was in danger and hoped that they would not go. But they were all guarded by their own soldiers, and even on the city walls, there was no danger under the cover of shields. So everyone insisted on going.

Ma Zhou and Abu Hassan couldn't persuade them, so they had to accompany them to the city tower.

When everyone came to the city tower and saw Hamid and Li You's leisurely appearance, they were infected by them, and the panic in everyone's hearts was alleviated a lot.

The crowd stepped forward to salute Hamid.

Hami thoughtfully persuaded them to leave here, but everyone said that His Majesty was on the city tower, and they would also stay here to protect His Majesty.

Hamid also hoped that they would see the true strength of the Tang Army, so as to strengthen the confidence of these people to follow Li Youren in the future. So he stopped dissuading them, but just reminded them to be safe.

The castle guards and chieftains found their own places to rest on the towers, waiting for the battle to begin.

An hour later, the Great Cannibal finally appeared.

The first to appear were the Turan army with white flags, khaki uniforms, and pointed felt hats.

There are thousands of people at once, and there are vast.

There were 60,000 Turan troops, 30,000 cavalry, and 30,000 infantry, waving flags, and there was no edge in sight.

The city guards and chieftains saw that there were so many men and horses in the Turro army, and their faces were all ugly, and what worried him the most was the Great Food Army behind the Turro army, and he didn't know how many people would come.

In front of the Turan army, there were several Turan generals, and in the middle of them there was a general wearing a helmet mask and also wearing a Turao khaki military uniform, if you take off the helmet, Li You and the others must be able to recognize it.

He was the young lieutenant general beside Adnan, who commanded 10,000 cannibal cavalry and mixed in the ranks of the Tubo ** team.

Behind the Tuluo army, about 10 miles or so, Pedilan and Adnan and others led an army of 100,000 people to slowly advance towards Kabul.

As the Don army got closer and closer, Adnan's lieutenant slowed down, and the entire Turro army followed him to slow down the march.

Adnan's lieutenant vigilantly watched the surroundings for any Tang ambushes.

To the north of Kabul is a wilderness with an extremely open view, and it is almost impossible to ambush people and horses in such terrain. The only place where troops can be stationed is in the city of Kabul, or where you can't see it behind the city.

Adnan's lieutenant felt something strange.

First of all, he couldn't understand why the Tang Dynasty people chose this place as a battlefield? The terrain here is simply not suitable for ambushing people, and there is no geographical advantage to speak of.

Moreover, the battle formation of the Tang army was not arranged close to the city wall, and its advance and retreat could be maintained with the help of bows and arrows on the city wall.

Secondly, as the attacking side, Adnan's lieutenant was very worried about the Tang Dynasty setting up obstacles to their attack in advance, such as deer firewood, knife carts, and spear formations.

The Tang Dynasty people seem to have simply arranged their cavalry into a phalanx, and there are only 20,000 men and horses placed here.

Adnan's lieutenant muttered in his heart.

He believed that either the generals of the Tang army were extremely confident, thinking that they could defeat the 60,000-strong Turro army with 20,000 men at will.

There is also a possibility that the generals of the Tang army were not good at using troops, and they were arrogant and put their own army in a dangerous situation.

Adnan's lieutenant commanded the army in front of the Tang people.

At first, he was very worried, fearing that the Tang Dynasty people would take advantage of the exhaustion they had just come from afar to suddenly charge.

But the Tang Dynasty did nothing, and waited quietly for the Tuluo army to form a formation.

At this time, he really believed that the Tang Dynasty general on the other side was a rookie who had no combat experience at all.
