Yang Yue knew that the Tang army camp located outside Talas City was like a piece of fat at his fingertips for Arnold and the Sassanid army who came from afar.

Arnold, the Sassanid army, how to control the greed in the heart.

If Arnold chooses to stand still and can't bear it, blame him for despising Arnold.

However, the arrangements of the Tang army are not leaky, and the news of the fall of Talas has not yet spread.

From the perspective of Arnold's situation, the Sassanid army was in an absolute advantage, and it was believed that Arnold would soon be like a greedy jackal, unable to resist the temptation of the prey in front of him, and send an army to test the attack.

At this time, the Tang army stayed in the city to wait and see what happened, and soon came to Jitai.

Yan Yuefeng, Zhao Xuanhu, and Ye Qinghu were so anxious that in order to better implement the plan, they had to wait quietly.

In the Tang military camp, Attila walked in the tent.

Everything is ready, only the east wind is owed.

Arnold was like a turtle with a shrunken head, hiding in the grass.

Attila was anxious, expecting Arnold to lead a quick attack.

After all, a trap has already been set, and the prey will fall into the trap if it makes a slight move, and they will be left to slaughter and kill.

Unfortunately, the sight of her prey hovering on the edge of the trap and not attacking was a sight of Attila suffering.

He had to send his cronies to order the patrols inside and outside the barracks to be brave, to keep a close watch, to reduce the bonfires, to create the illusion that the Don army was resting, and to lure Arnold into a trap as soon as possible.

Time passed, and in the distance of the wilderness, the chirping of strange birds and the howling of jackals sounded.

The night wind blew and the bushes rustled.

The cold night wind, with a little bit of dust, blows on people's faces, making people feel very painful.

During the long wait, Arnold, Nizam, and Sims had dust in their hair, and the cold climate made them take out their flasks from time to time to drink to ward off the cold.

In the Tang barracks, everything was calm, which made Arnold and them both worried and anxious.

Especially in the wilderness, the weather plummeted at night, making Arnold, Nizam, Sims and others feel miserable.

At midnight, the flickering bonfires in the Tang military camp gradually weakened, the patrolling soldiers gradually decreased, and the defense of the military camp became more and more empty.

Sims rubbed his hands, unplugged and took a sip of wine, and said with an angry face, "Arnold, midnight is approaching, and we can't hesitate any longer." This ghost place is too cold, and the soldiers are afraid that they will not be able to hold on. ”

"Yes, Arnold, the second half of the night will get colder and colder, and it will not be good for us if the soldiers are tired, and I propose to strike quickly and fight quickly." At this point, Nizam suggested, his lips were blue from the cold.

Arnold drank alcohol to keep out the cold, and when he came to the Western Regions, he sensed the diurnal climate change here along the way.

The decision to launch an attack at midnight was also concerned.

At this point, Arnold changed his mind and was ready to wait.

"Sims, inform the three armies, rest on the spot, and at dawn, launch another attack!" Arnold said coldly.

Hearing this, Sims and Nizam changed color, and their faces were full of surprise.

Dawn Battle?

Why did you suddenly change your mind?

Sims asked curiously, "Arnold, what are your concerns, why did you suddenly change your mind?" ”

"Arnold, the Tang Army's defense is gradually slackening, the whole army is sleeping, leading the army to attack the Tang Army, and it will definitely hit the Tang Army hard." Nizam chimed in.

Tang Army, close at hand.

With a slight charge, the leading troops can kill the Tang army in their sleep.

Sims, Nizam didn't want to wait any longer.

Arnold looked serious, shook his head and shook off the sand and dust in his hair, looked up at the dark night sky, and whispered: "The prey is close at hand, and it is easy to hunt the Tang army, but the general always feels that the darkness has a pair of eyes, and he is quietly monitoring everyone."

The Tang Army in the barracks in front of us is our prey, why don't we be the prey of the Tang Army hiding in the shadows, just wait. ”

Arnold has rich combat experience and is very keen, and at midnight, he still hasn't found the hiding place of the Tang Army, which makes him feel very bad.

If this battle is won, the Tang army will be severely damaged in the first battle, and the eastward expedition will be successful.

If this battle is lost, the army will lose its troops and even affect the safety of Talas.

Arnold had an indescribable strange feeling in his heart, and this feeling made him faintly uneasy.

At this point, he hoped he was thinking too much.

Sims and Nimza nodded to each other and said no more.

They followed Arnold to lead the army in the south and the north for many years, and were almost invincible, and they knew Arnold's combat command ability.

I have to say that at some point, Arnold's hunch is very accurate and can often save everyone's lives.

It is true that they feel hearty to be able to kill the Tang army and flee in the wilderness, but before killing the Tang army, all the Sassanid troops must first protect their own safety.

Sims, Nimza ordered the three armies to act according to Arnold's orders.

The military order was issued, and the three armies rested.

There were many birds inside and outside Talas, except for the howl of wolves and birds in the distance, there was no other sound in all directions.

As dawn approached, Arnold was in good spirits, and he slowly drew his short sword with a sonorous sound.

Beside him, Sims and Nizam woke up when they heard the sound of the sword, and looked at Arnold with hazy eyes.

Have you started the campaign?

After waiting for a long time, there was still no Tang army, and Arnold dared to conclude that there were no Tang troops near them except in the barracks, and the Tang troops in the barracks were all asleep at this time.

It's time to pick up your spirits and ride your horse to kill the enemy.

Arnold's voice was triumphant and powerful, and he undoubtedly admonished: "Sims, you charge with iron cavalry, Nimza, you lead the infantry to chase and kill, and be sure to break into the barracks and kill before the Tang army makes a defense."

When Clark led his army out of the city, the Tang army was completely annihilated, and no one should be spared. ”

"Yes!"

After waiting for half a night, Sims, Nizam, his hands and feet were cold, his body was a little stiff, and when he heard about the battle, the two of them were full of blood, and they felt that the waiting for the companion was also worth it.

Sims grabbed his dagger and leaped onto his horse, raising his sword to the assembled soldiers and shouting: "Cavalry mount and kill with the general"

Nizam grabbed his sword, not to be outdone, and shouted: "All the infantry, all move, all charge, and kill into the camp of the Tang army." ”

"Kill!"

"Kill!"

"Kill!"

At this time, the Sassanid army, whether it was iron cavalry or infantry, was all fierce and full of fighting spirit.

The east was white, and Arnold took the lead, leading the iron horse like an arrow off the string, swishing and rushing out.

The deafening killing shouts and the rumbling sound of horses' hooves completely broke the silence of the night sky, startling the birds next to them fluttering and flapping their wings to flee.

The Sassanid infantry, who had risen in a hurry, was not at all defeated by the roaring iron horsemen, like ghosts walking at night, with swords and bows, galloping wildly, and chasing after them.

Don army battalion.

Attila, who had not slept all night, was full of anger at this time, and hated Arnold so much that he gritted his teeth.

Arnold was as timid as a mouse, and he did not attack the city for a long time, causing him to stay awake all night.
