Chapter 287: The Great Cannibal of Anger
"Push the Western Regions cannon up and shoot me!" Abu Muslin ordered with a blushing face.
"Yes!" The general Muhammad was ordered to go. Soon, forty large Western Regions guns were launched from the rear. The Western Regions Cannon is actually a kind of stone throwing machine, this kind of stone throwing machine is improved and improved on the basis of the ancient stone throwing machine, more advanced, more powerful, can throw a boulder weighing 150 pounds to a distance of more than 600 meters, the power is huge, it is a sharp weapon for siege. In the past, catapults could shoot at a distance of more than 300 meters.
"Push the Western Regions cannon to 350 meters away from Talas City, and then smash it to the Talas City with a boulder." Abu Muslim gave the order viciously.
"Yes!"
Forty Western Regions cannons were pushed and pulled by men, slowly approaching the east and west gates of Talas City.
Xia Xue stood on the city tower, holding a telescope and clearly saw the Western Regions Cannon, she knew that this was an improved large-scale stone throwing machine, which was very powerful, if it was constantly attacked by dozens of boulders of more than one hundred and fifty catties, then it was estimated that Talas City would definitely be smashed.
"We must stop the Western Regions Cannon!" Xia Xue gave Zhao Ning an order to use forty angel cannons to aim at forty Western Regions cannons and destroy them all as soon as possible.
"Yes!" Zhao Ning took the order and left.
He came to the artillery battalion and asked the artillerymen to calculate the position, direction, distance, coordinates and other parameters of the Western Regions artillery, and then adjusted the firing angle and range of the cannon, and gave a loud order: "Open the artillery!" ”
"Boom, boom, boom!"
Forty angel cannons roared and fired at the same time, and forty shells went straight to the Western Regions cannons.
The Western Regions Cannon of the Great Food Army had just advanced to the designated position 350 meters away from Talas City, and as soon as it was ready to be fired, it heard dozens of loud "booms" and dozens of shells falling from the sky. Wherever the shells went, everything within a radius of 20 meters, regardless of people and objects, would basically be blown to pieces and wiped out.
"The target is at a distance of 350 meters, continue to launch!" Zhao Ning ordered loudly.
"Boom!"
"Boom!"
"Boom!"
In less than five minutes, all forty Western Regions guns were blown to pieces, including the gunners, operators, and maintenance craftsmen around the Western Regions cannons, all of which were left with no bones.
The entire Arab army was stunned!
"This Don in the city of Talas. What kind of evil is the army? Abu Musrim's face grew paler, and there was a piercing pain in his wounded left shoulder.
Abu Muslim found himself in a cold sweat running down his head. The 5,000 people went up, but not a single one ran back, and the forty Western Regions cannons that had been built and transported with great difficulty were blown to pieces before a single boulder could be fired, which really touched Abu Muslim. Now Don in the city of Talas. Army, it's really amazing! The combat power is many times stronger than the strongest Anxi elite iron cavalry in Datang brought by Gao Xianzhi last time.
However, for the battle-hardened, invincible, and arrogant Arab hero Abu al-Muslin, the city of Talas. The more powerful the army became, the more it aroused Abu Muslim's burning fighting spirit.
He wanted to destroy this Don in his heart. The army's determination has also become stronger. Looking at the entire Tang Empire, the military with such combat effectiveness is probably today's Tang Army. Army. Just knock out this Don. Army, later. Entering the core hinterland of Datang, isn't it like entering a no-man's land?
Therefore, it is necessary to eliminate today's Don. Army!
Even if it comes at a cost, it's worth it!
"Tawfik!"
"Rammy!"
"Majid!"
"Najib!"
"Hussein!"
"Hassan!"
"Muhammad!"
……
Abu Muslin calmly shouted the names of each of his subordinates.
The people who were called by their names were all dazed, hurriedly came up, straightened their waists, and said yes loudly.
They had been fighting with Abu Muslim for many years, and when they heard Abu Muslim calling the names of his generals one by one, they knew that Abu Muslim had made up his mind and was ready to fight each other to the death.
This means that if they don't take Talas, they won't come back.
That's right, that's what Abu Muslim meant.
The offensive just now has already shown that it is completely ineffective for a small number of troops to go up to test it. Fueling tactics will only keep losing your strength. Only by using all the strength at once can you overwhelm the opponent. Figuratively speaking, Don. Jun is like a big man who can eat very well, if he eats one dish at a time, he will eat them all. However, dozens of dishes are served together, and a full Han banquet is given to him. The army is about to be strung to death.
Abu Muslin was determined to bring the Don in Talas to the city. The army is dead.
"Said bin Humed, you go to the other three gates to oversee the formation!"
"The whole army is pressed, and no hands are allowed to be left!"
After deploying the attack at the eastern gate, Abu Muslim spoke slowly to Saeed ibn Humed.
"Understood!"
Said ben Humed replied loudly, his face flushed as if it were a monkey's ass.
He was full of anger, and finally got a chance to vent.
The city of Talas, Don. The army will become scum!
Looking at the back of Saeed bin Humet striding away, Abu Muslim nodded with satisfaction.
Some people's anger, if it erupts in the right place and at the right time, is quite terrifying. Said bin Humed is one such person. His anger had been pent up for too long, and now, it was finally time to release it. Abu Muslim believed that with the overseer of Saeed ibn Humed, the attack on the other three gates of Talas would not be any less than the eastern gate. The four city gates attacked fiercely at the same time, look at the Tang. How the army copes!
When everything was arranged, Abu Muslim waved his hand vigorously and shouted backwards: "The whole army is pressing down!" ”
The orders were conveyed one by one, and all the Great Food Eaters began to move.
The clouds in the sky are more gloomy, and visibility seems to be getting lower. The clouds seemed to be right above everyone's head, and they could be felt by reaching out. However, when you do reach out and try to touch the clouds, you will find that it is still a little bit away from the tips of your fingers. Even if you stand on tiptoe, you still can't reach it.
Everyone in Talas City can feel the heavy pressure on the battlefield. This heavy pressure comes from the constant mobilization of the 400,000-strong army of the Great Cannibals. Even with the naked eye, you can clearly see that the army of cannibals, one after another, came out of the barracks and lined up outside, ready to attack. The black flag covers the sky and the sun, and looking at the enemy's posture, it should be pouring out.
The Angel Army warriors clenched their weapons tightly, and their breathing became heavy. The blood around his body was flowing rapidly, and the atrium was pounding against the chest wall, as if he could hear a sound.
In order to adjust their mentality, many Angel Army soldiers quietly closed their eyes and then took a deep breath. Those fighters with strong psychological endurance check their firearms in an orderly manner, not letting go of any detail. Because they know very well that when the real war starts for a while, their vitality lies in the guns. As long as the firearms do not malfunction, their lives are guaranteed.
Xia Xue raised her hand gently.
There was no wind.
There was silence between heaven and earth.
It seems that the wind doesn't want to see the big battle that is about to begin, and quietly hides.
Many of the Angel Army soldiers were holding their guns, silently bowing their heads and thinking, without saying a word. There was no tobacco in those days, so no one smoked, only people silently chewed the grass roots. Some warriors took out the flatbread in their arms and ate it slowly. Actually, they are not hungry. Eat just to relieve the pressure on your heart.
This battle was an unprecedented battle for the Angel Army, no wonder everyone felt such a heavy ideological pressure. A full 400,000 powerful Arab warriors of the Great Food Empire, such a force is enough to defeat 200,000 Tang Empire. The army has fled. However, now, the 10,000 people of the Angel Army's special forces regiment are shouldering this heavy pressure alone. This battle is absolutely unprecedented.
Xia Xue is still closing her eyes and recuperating.
She has to control her emotions well.
As a commander, she admonished herself to be calm. Only by being calm can she better command this battle. To be honest, the scale of this battle is already a bit beyond Xia Xue's maximum ability. She is also clenching her teeth now. Now, 400,000 Arabs, facing an enemy army several times their size, are still known for their ferocity as cannibals. To say that Xia Xue's heart is not a little nervous, it is absolutely impossible.
This battle, if it is won, from then on, the big cannibal will see Tang. Army, all go around. Tang Dynasty. The army will also wash away the shame of the defeat in the Battle of Tanros, and will also have a comprehensive psychological advantage over the great cannibals. This is very important. It was because of the successive defeats that the Persian state had developed a deep fear of the Arab cannibals, and it did not encounter the great cannibals at all, but when they heard the name of the great cannibals, they had already collapsed. How can such a military dui fight?
If this battle is lost, the consequences will be severe. The big cannibal will definitely break into the Anxi Protectorate and destroy everything that her husband Li Shimin has painstakingly run in the Western Regions. Therefore, this battle must not be lost!
Xia Xue's face was cold, and the thoughts in her mind were actually very active at this time. She ordered all soldiers to wear special lightweight, sturdy alloy armor to protect them from enemy bows.
