Chapter 289: Nightmare
Groups of big cannibals, like robots, have no life, no fear, no feeling, only know how to rush forward without fear of death. The guns of the Angel Army, in front of them, are like children's toys. The big cannibals in front fell, and the big cannibals in the back kept coming up. Xia Xue had to admit that the big cannibal at this time was indeed too strong.
"Launch!"
"Launch!"
"Launch!"
Zhao Ning kept roaring.
His face was pale, and he felt that his scalp felt cold and numb. These big cannibals are really crazy, completely crazy, and they are desperate to rush upwards. Under the gun attack of the Angel Army, the casualty figures of the Great Cannibal are absolutely staggering. However, the big cannibal is not afraid of casualties, and he is still not afraid of death.
Zhao Ning dared to swear that even if he had a nightmare, he had never thought of such a terrifying scene. Isn't the Great Cannibal human? Why don't you look like a human at all? It is no wonder that all the countries of Central Asia did not dare to fight head-on when they encountered the large cannibal army. It's really the number of cannibals and the spirit of not being afraid of death, once it reaches a certain level, it's really shocking.
If you listen carefully, you can even hear a feeling of despair and madness in Zhao Ning's voice. Yes, the big cannibal is crazy, and Zhao Ning feels like he is going crazy too. He wants to fire all the cannonballs, so that the big cannibal can taste a feast of angel cannonballs.
"Boom!"
"Boom!"
"Boom!"
The battlefield was littered with craters and dead people, piled up on top of each other, and the air was filled with the smell of gunpowder smoke and blood.
The shells continued to explode, and the casualty toll of the Great Cannibal continued to rise.
Every time a shell explodes, it will cause about 100 casualties to the big cannibals. After each shell explodes, a no-man's land has to be created in the midst of the dense cannibals. The big cannibals that were within the range of the shell explosion were all lying on the ground, dead or alive. However, the big cannibal behind him continued to step forward without fear of death, as if the cannonball exploded, it was just a slightly larger whirlpool, not a living human life at all. And the whirlpool will always rematch.
The crowd of black-pressed tide-like soldiers soon entered a distance of less than twenty zhang from the city wall. The distance is still shrinking. Some of the Great Cannibals continued on, approaching the bottom of the city walls. Some of the great cannibals began to bend their bows and arrows, and began to shoot arrows at the head of the city of Talas.
"Whoosh!"
"Whoosh!"
"Whoosh!"
One arrow after another, with a sharp roar, shot at the head of the city of Talas.
There are too many archers for the Great Cannibals, and the arrows they shoot are naturally very dense. At first glance, it looks like a layer of dark clouds has suddenly appeared in the sky. This layer of dark clouds is rapidly enveloping the head of Talas City.
"Poof!"
"Poof!"
"Poof!"
Sharp and heavy arrows kept falling, and some Angel Army soldiers were constantly shot, and some Angel Army soldiers who took off their armor or took off their helmets because they thought their armor was in the way. Soon blood began to flow from the city of Talas. The Angel Army soldier who was shot fell to the ground helplessly, and the Angel Rifle was thrown in a pool of blood. The wounded warrior couldn't help but let out bursts of painful SY. However, the arrows that fell from behind them were shot at them again, and their SY slowly sank down and finally disappeared.
"Quick, quick, put on your armor!" Xia Xue commanded loudly. She had been hit by numerous arrows on her body and head, but fortunately the high-tech helmet and clothes of the future protected her. With an Angel machine gun in her hand, she kept firing frantically at the enemy.
If you can't block the sea of cannibals in time, the big cannibals will really climb to the top of the city.
If he fought hand-to-hand with so many big cannibals, Xia Xue didn't dare to imagine the consequences. Even guns can't stop the madness of the big cannibals, let alone hand-to-hand combat?
Resist!
Resist!
Resist!
This is the only belief of every Angel Army warrior.
"Kill the Great Cannibal ......"
Those who were wounded by the arrows could not get up, so they lay on the ground, silently cheering for their companions. Until the next arrow hits them again. Blood flowed down the city, gathering into a river.
Every surviving Angel Army soldier was released. They kept shooting bullets, shells, and bullets. The slogan of the Angel Army is to fight with the big cannibals. When did you fight with the big cannibal? Now, it's time to fight the big cannibals.
"Here we are!"
At the critical moment, Ling Hujian came with reinforcements from the south gate with four hundred machine gunner soldiers.
It may be due to the fact that the attacks of the east gate and the west gate are too fierce, and the attacks of the other north and south gates are not at the same level at all. The main forces of the attack on the north and south gates were the surrendered troops of Persia and Central Asian countries conquered by the Great Cannibal Country, and only a small number of Great Cannibals were responsible for supervising the war. The combat effectiveness of the Persian and Central Asian countries and the Great Cannibals is too far apart. Even if Said bin Humed supervised the battle back and forth, the intensity was not at all comparable to that of the East and West Gates.
"The big cannibal is crazy, really crazy."
This was Ling Hujian's first feeling after coming up to the east gate city wall.
He was sure that this battle, even if the Great Cannibal was victorious, would be greatly damaged. In front of the guns of the Angel Army, the casualty figures of the Great Cannibal are absolutely staggering. Now, the big cannibal is in a state of madness, and he can't feel the power of it for the time being. However, once the battle is over, the Great Cannibals know that their casualties are absolutely unbearable for them.
The reinforcement of 400 machine guns of Linghu Jian, the effect is very obvious, the firepower network woven outside the east gate is tighter, plus the original 500 machine guns, 900 machine guns together "dada" strafing, except for the need to replace the barrel due to heat or temporary failure, an average of at least 50,000 zi bullets can be fired per minute, the density of this zi bullet is terrifying, although the big cannibal is not afraid of death, but after all, it is flesh and blood, under the fire blockade of 50,000 machine gun zi shells per minute, in front of this terrifying barrage, The corpses of the big cannibals outside the east gate had piled up like a mountain and blood flowed like a river, and the momentum and speed of the attack had slowed down significantly. The West Gate was also reinforced by the North Gate with 400 machine gunners, and the attack momentum of the Great Cannibals was also contained.
The muzzle of the machine gun continued to spew out tongues of fire, and the bullets knocked the big cannibals rushing under the city into bloody flesh and blood, and fell to the ground in pieces, so that Hu Jian heard the roar of the big cannibals.
The angel machine gun spewed tongues of fire, and the scarlet shells arced like meteors towards the big cannibal. Under the fire of furious machine-gun shells, the casualties of the Great Cannibals increased sharply.
However, even under such a blow, there were still great cannibals who raised the ladder and tried to climb to the top of the city. Several large cannibal soldiers, with blood-stained faces and hideous expressions, holding shields in their left hands and scimitars in their right hands, were skillfully rushing forward. This ladder happened to be next to Ouyang Yong. However, there was no one else by Ouyang Yong's side.
Due to the fact that the Great Cannibal was so close, the Angel Rifle simply could not shoot effectively. Many big cannibal archers, constantly firing arrows below, also effectively stopped the counterattack of the Angel Army warriors. Under the bow and arrow of the great cannibal, Ouyang Yong's side had already killed and injured several soldiers. On this small section of the city wall, only Ouyang Yong still has combat effectiveness.
"Grass!"
Ouyang Yong didn't expect that the battle would be so cruel that he actually became the commander of the light pole. He didn't care about it, and he didn't care about it anymore.
Turn your head and pick up two hand-held bullets from the ammo box, pull the drawstring with your teeth, and throw them down. I didn't look at the effect of the explosion, I turned my head and picked up two more hand bullets, pulled the drawstring, and then threw it casually.
"Boom, boom!"
A hand bounced on top of a large cannibal's head, bounced a little, and then exploded.
"Boom, boom!"
The big cannibals below were all put down and lay there in all directions. Since this hand bomb exploded in mid-air, it was more powerful, and the big cannibals in the distance were also affected.
Even the big cannibal who can still stand is bleeding from the seven orifices, and his expression is very terrifying.
The ladder was also blown up, and all the Arab soldiers on the ladder fell below, piling up with other big cannibals. However, they also tried to get up and continue to pound. Another ladder was erected.
"Boom, boom!"
Two more hand-held bullets were thrown down and exploded in the crowd of big cannibals.
A whirlpool swept around him, and large cannibals fell. Originally, some of the big cannibal soldiers who were just injured were shocked by the bullet in their hands, and they completely lost their breath. The big cannibal soldiers finally stopped. They were all killed next to the ladder. The ladder was also blown up. Because there were so many fallen cannibals, the walls of Talas were shortened by more than a zhang.
"Grass!"
"Die!"
"Let's all die!"
Ouyang Yong cursed fiercely, and kept throwing hand bullets down like crazy.
What kind of big cannibal below was blown up, Ouyang Yong didn't have the heart to pay attention to it at all. What he has to do now is drop a large number of hand-fired bombs and blow up those big cannibals of the dog day. Well, Ouyang Yong must admit that he lacks calm.
The other fighters, seeing that Ouyang Yong looked like a madman, they were also crazy. Like Ouyang Yong, they put down the angel rifle in their hands and kept throwing hand bullets downward. Anyway, there are a lot of bullets in the hand, and as many big cannibals come, it is enough to greet them.
Suddenly, just as Ouyang Yong turned around to pick up his hand, he felt that the back of his left calf seemed to be drilled by something. He subconsciously reached out and touched it, only to touch a jerky arrow shaft. His heart suddenly sank downward. , got an arrow. The power of the arrow, the sharp pain that pierced the heart, made Ouyang Yong fall directly to the ground. Ouyang Yong thought that wearing calf armor was too obstructive, so he took off his calf armor, but he didn't expect to be unlucky.
"Woooooo
At that moment, a low bull's horn sounded.
It was the order for the Great Cannibal to withdraw his troops.
The last thought flashed through Ouyang Yong's mind:
"Abu Muslim, you can't hold it anymore ......"
Xia Xue, who had been nervously commanding on the city tower, heard the withdrawal horn of the Arab Great Food Army, and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and the nerves that had been tense finally relaxed, although the Angel Army gave the Great Food Army a lot of damage with its more advanced firearms, however, Xia Xue knew that so many and such ferocious Great Food Soldiers had basically exhausted the ammunition carried by the Angel Firearms Legion, if the Great Food Army did not withdraw its troops and continued to attack wildly, the final outcome was really unpredictable. Fortunately, the commander of the Great Food Army, Abu Muslin, finally couldn't bear it and collapsed first. War is sometimes a contest of resilience, patience and willpower, and it depends on who can hold their breath, see who can survive to the end, and those who can persevere to the end are the winners, and the first to collapse is the loser.
Syed bin Humet, who was supervising the battle at the south and north gates, originally thought that the capture of the city of Talas was a sure thing under the onslaught of 400,000 food troops.
At this moment, however, a fast horse hurried up to Said bin Humed, and cried out in a hurry, "General, no, no! ”
Syed bin Humet turned his head and saw that it was his general, Hussein. Hussein, a general at the good end, turned pale and acted in a panic, greatly losing the face of the warriors of the Great Food Country. Said Ben Humet was furious and shouted angrily: "Bastard, what are you panicking about? ”
Hussein exclaimed in a panic, "Your Excellency, Your Majesty the Governor...... Vomited blood and fainted! ”
Said Ben Humed was stunned for a moment, and did not react for a while.
Hussein shouted in horror: "General, the attack on the east and west gates did not go well, and the troops suffered heavy casualties and had to retreat. After counting the casualties, the Governor vomited blood and fainted on the spot. ”
Said Ben Humet finally reacted, hurriedly turned on his horse, and asked sharply, "What's going on?" Didn't you just play well? Why did you retreat? ”
Hussein said in frustration and fear: "Dead, all dead, all the people of the eight legions of the elite Arab soldiers are dead." The other ten corps also suffered heavy casualties......"
Said bin Humet suddenly felt the darkness in front of him, and he almost fell off his horse.
How so?
Isn't it safe to take Talas City? Why did all of a sudden, the Great Food Army actually suffer a catastrophe? Even Abu Muslim vomited blood and fell into a coma? All eight elite regiments were killed in battle, and ten regiments suffered heavy casualties...... How could such a thing happen in the world?
The loss of nearly eighteen Arab main armies is equivalent to the destruction of the warriors of the Great Food Army they brought out this time.
Oh my God, how can this be?
……
Abu Muslin woke up from the rescue, and before he could speak, he fell into a coma again.
Hit so hard that Abu Muslim wanted to die. He didn't have the time, the energy, or the opportunity to examine his losses in detail. However, the cruel truth told him that at least seventy percent of the warriors of the Great Cannibal Army had fallen outside the walls of Talas.
Such casualties are absolutely unprecedented. So far, there has not been a single battle in the Great Food Country, and the number of casualties is more than 80,000. And he, in the city of Talas, lost more than 180,000 Arab warriors at one time, not counting the more than 100,000 killed and wounded in the troops of other conquered countries. Such a record was enough for Hajjaj bin Yusuf, the supreme governor of the Arab Food Empire in the East, to divide his five horses countless times.
Abu Muselin would rather never wake up again. He couldn't face such a brutal truth. He couldn't face his men. He has no face to see people, he is disheartened, and he has the idea of seeking death. As a result, Abu Muslim was always in a coma. I woke up intermittently for a moment, and then passed out again.
"What should I do?"
"What should I do?"
"What should I do?"
When Abu Muslim fainted again, there was chaos around him. The surviving generals, you look at me, I look at you, I don't know what to do. Most of the men he had called by name had died under the city of Talas, Tawfiq, Rami, and Majid had been machine-gunned into a sieve, and Najib and Hassan had been beaten into honeycombs, all of which had been unrecognizable; Only one Hussein is still alive. Fortunately, there is also a general: Said bin Humet.
"Withdraw!"
"Withdraw!"
"Withdraw!"
After all, Said bin Humed is still young and simply cannot handle such a complex issue. He has always subconsciously played the role of a striker, and he only needs to fight well under the command of Abu Muslin. Now, Abu Muslim is in a coma, and his troops have suffered heavy losses, so they can only retreat back to the city of Samarkand. Even if you have to think about how to deal with it in the future, it is something that you think about in Samarkand. It was too unsafe to continue to stay outside the city of Talas. Unconsciously, all the great Arab cannibal generals developed a fear of Talas.
At the sound of an order, the surviving army of the Great Cannibals hurriedly retreated.
The remnants of the Great Cannibal seem to have had a nightmare. In the nightmare, they rushed forward desperately, completely unaware of the threat of death. Now, the nightmare had just woken up, and they were already feeling the boundless fear. Looking at the cascading corpses near the walls of Talas, all the big cannibals felt that they must have gone crazy before. Only a crazy person would commit such a crazy offensive act.
The effect of nightmares is only now beginning to manifest itself. As time passed, the effect of nightmares became more and more intense. The retreat soon turned into a rout, with the remaining cannibals vying to the west to the city of Samarkand. They threw away everything that got in the way of running on their bodies, such as weapons, armor, helmets, etc. I'm afraid that if I run slower, the angel army behind will catch up.
When Abu Muslim vomited blood and fell into a coma, Saeed bin Humet was also dumbfounded. For a short time, his mind went completely blank. The battle of Talas could have taken such a sharp turn for the worse, and Sayyid bin Humet really couldn't have imagined it. Like Abu Muslin, he was now thinking only of escaping, and he had no time to think about why the good plan of attack had turned into such a tragedy.
Just as the soldiers of the Arabian Food Empire began to retreat, three red flares were raised in the city of Talas. The surviving soldiers of the Great Food Country were only concerned with retreating, and none of them noticed the brilliant red flares in the sky.
In less than a tea time, the soldiers of the Great Food Country and the Central Asian soldiers who were retreating in a panic suddenly heard the sound of dense horses' hooves like rolling thunder behind them. The cavalry was chasing after them at a gallop, raining down on them more than 50 meters away from them, and then a series of dense explosions burst out in the Great Eclipse Army, many of the Great Eclipse soldiers near the explosion were blown to the ground, their stumps flew sideways, their flesh and blood were blurred, and they were scurrying around, and the already chaotic Great Eclipse retreating army became even more chaotic, with people on their backs and trampling each other.
But the nightmare of the Great Food Army is still not over, in this more than a thousand Tang. Behind the cavalry, nearly 10,000 Tang rushed up. The cavalry, dressed in light alloy plate armor and wielding cold and shining Tang knives in their hands, wantonly pursued and killed the fleeing Dashi soldiers like a group of hungry wolves rushing into the flock.
The morale of the Great Food Army completely collapsed, and they didn't have the courage to resist at all, so they just ran around desperately. The cavalry was like a pack of wolves in the rear, constantly reaping the lives of Arab soldiers, and rivers of blood flowed. Many Central Asian surrenderers who could not run threw away their weapons and knelt on the ground to surrender. The army did not kill these soldiers who had surrendered, and continued to chase and kill other big cannibals through them. The army did not kill the soldiers who surrendered, so more and more soldiers threw away their weapons and knelt on the ground, including many of the great Arab cannibal soldiers who were once fearless to death, and who have now faced the demonic Don. The army was frightened and scattered, and their legs were weak when they heard it, and there was still a trace of determination and courage to resist.
The once invincible and fierce Arab cannibal army is now in ruins.
The news of the fiasco in the Second Battle of Talas reached the Arab Empire, and the entire Empire was shocked, and such a large casualty was unprecedented since the founding of the Arab Empire. The shock was followed by horror, and the entire Arab empire was terrified, and the rumors were loud and fearful. The army will take advantage of the victory to attack and annex the Arab Empire.
After intense consultations, the high-level leaders of the Great Food Empire decided to sue for peace with the Tang Dynasty, and the caliph (leader) of the Great Food Empire: Abu Abbas al-Safah, who established the Abbasid Dynasty, was called the Black Clothes Great Food by the Tang Dynasty, and the capital was set in Kufa, and the Arab iron-fisted leader who called himself Saifara (meaning butcher) had to authorize the Arab Empire's supreme governor in the East, Hajjaj bin Yusuf, to negotiate peace with the Tang Dynasty.
In order to curry favor with the Tang Dynasty, and also to punish the culprit who suffered heavy casualties in the Second Battle of Talas: Abu Muslim, the Eastern Governor of the Great Food Empire and the commander of the Battle of Talas, Hajaj ibn Yusuf forced Abu Muslim to commit suicide and apologize. Then he released all the Tang soldiers captured in the First Battle of Talas City, and sent a guard to solemnly and respectfully remark the Tang Dynasty who died in the First Battle of Talas City. The bones of the soldiers were sent back to the homeland of the Tang Dynasty.
Regarding the peace of the Arab Eclipse Empire, Xia Xue and Li Shimin decided to accept it after discussing it through telegrams.
Because Arabia and Central Asia are too far away from the Central Plains of the Tang Dynasty, and most of the areas are arid and rainless, the climate is harsh, and the land is barren, with a vast area, a large population, and a large number of countries.
Instead of occupying it, it is better to only trade with it, let them rule their own people at their own expense, and the Tang Dynasty only needs to trade commodities with them, exchanging the minerals, goods, and so on they need. Anyway, at present, Datang is basically the world's factory, all kinds of high-tech products can only be produced by Datang, Datang and other countries' trade is basically a trade surplus, earning a large amount of silver, gold, minerals, etc. The control effect is better, and it can also be sustainable for a long time, after all, it is much better to make a fortune with each other than to fight each other for their lives.
After the two sides negotiated peace, Xia Xue led the angel army to leave Talas City and return to Chang'an.
The Great Food Empire saw this group of terrible "devils" Don. When the army finally left their territory, they couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and the heart that had been hanging was finally let go.
In order to develop trade with the Eastern Tang Dynasty, the Arab Great Food Empire and Western countries also tried their best to maintain the security and stability of the Silk Road, and since then, the Western Regions have once again entered a period of peace and stability, and the Silk Road has prospered again.
