"Could it be Roman fire, which the Romans invented? Two days ago, when more than 100 Tang troops broke through the siege, they also used a strange flame to injure more than 100 cavalrymen. From this point of view, Tang Jun is really prepared this time! "Abu?? Muslim was not interested in listening to Hamid's crying at all, all he cared about was the new style of martial arts of the Tang Army.

"Roman fire?" Hamid was stunned. He knew that on the northwest frontier of the Great Eclipse, there was a great power bordering the Empire, and they called themselves the Romans, and their capital was Constantinople on the other side of the Strait.

More than 80 years ago, the Romans suddenly invented a martial art that terrified all their neighbors: Roman fire, which burned on the surface of water.

It is said that whatever it is, if it is contaminated with Roman fire, it cannot be extinguished at all, and can only be burned to charcoal. However, Hamid had never fought the Romans, and this fragmentary information was only hearsay.

"Governor, how could the Tang people use Roman fire?" Hamidchi said: "Didn't you say that only the Romans could use it? The Umayyad family also sent a large number of spies to Constantinople, but Shi zhōng was not able to learn it. ”

"It's weird!" Abu?? Muslim was also at a loss: "Could it be that the Tang and the Romans colluded together?" But they are so far apart that it is impossible to avoid our eyes and ears! ”

Seeing that the governor's mind was focused on the Roman fire, Hamid, who was prostrate on the ground, breathed a sigh of relief.

"This Tang army is really weird!" Abu Muslim struck each other a few times on the two horseshoes in his hand and handed them over: "Hamid, do you know this?" ”

Hamid hurriedly took the horseshoe and looked at it carefully for a long time before he said cautiously: "Governor, you are stupid and don't know this thing. However, its shape seems to be similar to the size of a horse's hoof. ”

"I still have some eyesight!" Abu?? Mu Slim's face turned slightly pale: "This thing was found from the war horse of the Tang Army's breakthrough cavalry, and the Tang people nailed it to the horse's hooves. ”

"Nailed to the horse's hooves!?" Hamid was taken aback at first, but he was familiar with the war horse, and he immediately understood the function of this object: "What a clever idea, so that the horse's hooves are not easy to wear." ”

"Indeed it is! It's a pity that our army doesn't have a blacksmith at the moment, so we can't open the furnace to make this thing. Otherwise, I'm sure I'll have all my horses nailed to it at once. "Abu?? Muslim always attached great importance to the Khorasan cavalry under his command.

"Governor, after defeating the Tang army, you will definitely be able to capture a large number of these things. When we get back to Khorasan, we can continue to build without rushing. Hamid whispered.

"This is a small thing, it has nothing to do with the overall situation, and there is really no need to worry. What I care about most at the moment is whether the secret martial arts in the hands of the Tang people are Roman fire? Wang Zheng, the chief general of the Beiting Army, was really calm when he saw it, the competition for the stronghold outside the city was so fierce, he could not bear it. It seems that we can only see this through today's siege. "Abu?? Mu Slim said to himself: "It's just that if Tang Jun really has such a sharp weapon in his hands, my plan will have to be adjusted accordingly......"

The morning sun rises higher and higher in early summer, and the warm sun silently watches the heavily walled city of Talas. Under the light of the warm sun, all kinds of bīngqì are reflected back, but they are dazzling cold light.

Although Talas City is an important town in the northern part of the Stone Kingdom, the layout of the city is still much smaller than that of Tingzhou City and Broken Leaf City. All four of its gates are single-storey, and there is no urn city, and the height of the walls is much shorter than that of Broken Leaf City.

The water in the moat is drawn from the Talas River, but due to the limited flow of the Talas River, the water surface of the moat is shallow and narrow.

After the Beiting Army took Talas City, they organized the army and civilians to widen the moat and strengthen the city walls. However, due to the limited time, it could not be compared with the perfect defense system of the Tang military towns such as Tingzhou City and Qiuzi City.

Under the scorching sun of early summer, there were dozens of soldiers in each of the four gates of Talas City, shouting neat trumpets and laboriously pushing the Saimen knife cart three or four feet wide. With the concerted efforts of the soldiers, the front wall of the knife cart, equipped with twenty-four long knives, was tightly attached to the city gate.

In siege warfare, the gate Yongyuǎn is the weakest defense and the easiest place to be breached. There is a knife cart with a Saimen, and there is an extra defense at the city gate. Even if the gate is smashed open by the rushing carts of the Great Food Army, the Semen knife cart will ensure that the enemy army cannot rush in.

Behind the knife carts in the east, west, and north of the three door openings, there is a regiment of Mo knife hands.

The 1,000 of the most elite Beiting Mo swordsmen who accompanied the army were divided into five regiments, three of which were gathered in the eastern, western, and northern city gates to recuperate, and they were not only responsible for the defense of the city gates, but also ready to participate in the battle on the nearby city walls at any time.

And the Mo Daomen of the remaining two regiments, under the leadership of Li Dingbang, are facing Abu ?? Near the south gate of the Great Horde of Muslim, he calmly waited for the great battle to come.

On the south city wall connected to the South Gate Cave, the crossbowmen of the North Court were struggling to turn the wheel and wind thirty huge eight-bow crossbows, squeaking and opening the strings one after another, like a band, preparing to play a piece of music that would kill the enemy.

Between the eight bows and crossbows, 3,000 light cavalry of the Huangjiasi and Shatuo tribes abandoned their horses and drew their bows, holding feather arrows in their hands, while 500 Tang crossbowmen stroked their teeth with their index fingers, and their sharp long arrows and short arrows were coldly pointed at the outside of the city wall.

Behind the crossbowmen, two hundred heavily armored Beiting sword and shield soldiers leaned against the wall like stone statues, waiting for the battle to begin.

On the city wall, rolling wood and stone, wolf tooth paddle, boiling water and oil and other equipment for defending the city are readily available. Behind the soldiers, tens of thousands of auxiliaries and strong men of all ethnic groups were dòng into action, and they ran up and down the stairs, constantly carrying logs and stones to the city walls.

Once the siege began, the auxiliaries and the people would be responsible for replenishing the crossbowmen with arrows, throwing rolling logs and stones, burning fires and pouring oil, and saving the wounded.

Outside the southern city wall, the eastern, western, and northern walls all had this configuration of troops.

Inside the city wall, 500 soldiers of the engineer battalion were adjusting the position and angle of the 50 counterweight stone cannons under the command of Zhao Dahui.

The remaining more than 10,000 light and heavy cavalry were all left behind in the barracks in the city. As soon as Wang Zheng saw an order, the cavalry with full physical strength would fight out of the city and counterattack the siege troops of the Great Food Army.

On the tower of the south gate, Wang Zhengjian, who looked calm and wore a military uniform, looked down on the deployment of troops in various parts of the city. As far as the eye can see, whether it is the elite soldiers of the Beiting Hundred Battles, or the nomadic warriors of the Huangjiasi and Shatuo Tribes, they still maintain their high-pitched morale and high fighting spirit when the fierce battle is about to start.

Behind Wang Zhengjian, the excited Beiting Deputy Protector Ashina Yang, the slightly nervous prison guard Zhang Daobin, the cunning Shatuo Ye Protector Zhu Evil Bone Aggressive Branch, and the indifferent Gang Warrior Areli Kun stood in a semicircle and hugged behind Wang Zhengjian.

Du Huan, the judge of the North Court, Zhu Xie Duzhong, the prince of Shatuo, and Li Ji, the prince of Huangjiasi, stood outside the semicircle because of their slightly lower status.

All around the crowd were filled with vigilant Beiting Ya soldiers. They may be armed with huge shields to cover the head of the army; or a flat-ended crossbow, with cold clusters of arrows pointed at the city.

"The military heart is available!" Wang Zhengjian nodded with satisfaction: "Abu?? Muslim must have thought that our army was a soft persimmon, and he took more than 100,000 people, like a thief in the market, and sneaked around for so long, he wanted to swallow us in one bite. But I didn't know that our army was a hard stone, not only did he not get cheap, but he also knocked out two teeth! ”

"All the soldiers are like gods, then Abu?? Muslim is a barbarian, how can he know the subtlety of the art of war? Sha Tuo Ye Hu Zhu Evil Bone smiled and flattered: "What's more, there are divine weapons in Du Hu's hands!" With a snap of his fingers, he can burn 100,000 enemy troops to the ground. ”

Standing behind his father Khan, Zhu Xie was a little unaccustomed to the flattery of the bones, his thick eyebrows were like gatherings, and he had the intention to interrupt his father Khan's words, but he was afraid of the accumulation of the bones and did not dare to speak.

Wang Zhengjian was clear about Xiao Jiujiu in Zhu Xiegu's heart, but he smiled and said nothing, and did not respond.

The smart Du Huan immediately spoke: "Zhu Xie Ye Hu, there are your troops and the Huangjiasi department with the same heart and one mind with our army, not to mention more than 100,000 food troops, even if it doubles again, you don't have to pay attention to it." But what about Abu?? Muslim's move of thousands of miles to fight made a certain ashamed and praised. To this day, I still don't know how the more than 100,000 food army bypassed the Tuozhi City garrisoned by Gao Jieshuai? And, Abu?? How did Muslim learn about the deployment of troops in Beiting and Anxi? I'm afraid someone is collaborating with the enemy! ”

Seeing Du Huan's suspicious gaze on his face, Zhu Xie Gu hurriedly waved his hand and denied: "Wang Duhu, Judge Du, our Shatuo tribe has been favored by the Tang Dynasty, and we are loyal to the Heavenly Khan, and we can learn from it every day, but we will never do anything inside and outside!" ”

Seeing that Du Huan said a few words, Ashina Yang reversed Zhu Xiegu's infusion of fierce oil and fire to "self-proof of innocence", and also smiled and answered: "Shatuo Department and Beiting Protector Mansion are neighbors, but we ask for it, Zhu Xiye Protector never shirks, of course no one will doubt the loyalty of your department." Just, Abu?? Muslim knows the strength of our army well, which is a bit odd. ”

"Wang Duhu, Ashina Deputy Duhu, in my opinion, it is very simple to find someone who collaborates with the enemy, just think about who can benefit the most from the defeat of our army." Zhu Xie Gu has something to say.

"What do you benefit the most?" Ashina Yang chewed Zhu Xie's bones, thoughtful.

"Li Kun Azhe, what do you think?" Wang Zhengjian didn't wait for Ashina Yang to say anything more, so he turned to ask Li Kun's opinion.

"Wang Duhu, we are of Chinese Miao descent, how can we collude with Xirong." Li Kun couldn't get used to Zhu Xiegu's concealment, and said bluntly: "How did the big cannibal know the movements of our army, I don't dare to say anything. It may be that someone is ventilating the news, or it may be that the big food spies are pervasive. However, what we are very clear about is that there are more than 200,000 people in the Hui tent, and only 10,000 people have been sent to participate in the war. But they peeked into the geography of the river all the way, and solicited gifts everywhere, what did they want? ”
