Chapter 161: The Restoration of Antioch

When the soldiers of the town heard Lin An's arrangement, he did not shirk, and he rode on an Arab war horse and galloped towards the temporary station of the Eastern Roman Byzantine Empire.

In the temporary station, the lord of the Eastern Roman Byzantine Empire saw the performance of the distant town, and he couldn't help but be deeply shocked.

The commander of the Eastern Roman Byzantine Empire did not expect that the combat effectiveness of the town ** was so powerful, and the cavalry of the Arab Abbasid Dynasty was suddenly split in half by the long knife of the town ** soldier.

And ordinary arrows can't hurt the soldiers of the town, which is really an eye-opener for the people of the Eastern Roman Byzantine Empire.

When the commander of the Eastern Roman Byzantine Empire saw that the commander of the Arab Abbasid Empire had been beheaded, he was even more surprised and speechless.

The generals of the Eastern Roman Byzantine Empire did not expect such a thing to happen inside the armies of the Arab Abbasids.

Just as the commander of the Eastern Roman Byzantine Empire was thinking, he saw a soldier from the town galloping towards him on an Arab war horse.

The lord of the Eastern Roman Byzantine Empire thought that the town must have something important to look for him, and he willingly led his horse out of the temporary camp.

After a while, the soldier of the town ** rode an Arab war horse to the main general of the Eastern Roman Byzantine Empire.

The town ** soldier jumped off his horse and clenched his fist at the general of the Byzantine Empire in Eastern Rome and said: "General of Rome, our general has something urgent, please come over." ”

"Well, okay!" The generals of the Byzantine Empire in the Eastern Roman Empire mounted their horses and said to the soldier of the town: "You lead the way!" ”

"Yes, General!" The town's ** soldiers also stepped on their horses.

"Drive!"

"Drive!"

The two of them rode their horses and galloped towards the location of the town ** in the distance.

A quarter of an hour later, the two of them came to the location of the town.

After the commander of the Eastern Roman Byzantine Empire dismounted, he saw the deputy general of the Arab Abbasid Dynasty calmly leading the rest of the Arab cavalry to stand near the town.

"Roman general, you are finally here, he said that they used to be your Roman citizens, and they have always believed in Roman Orthodoxy, and now he intends to surrender, what do you think!" Lin An, the general of Zhenguo, pointed to the deputy general of the Arab Abbasid dynasty and said.

"Oh!? No wonder I saw him behead the Abbasid general. The commander of the Eastern Roman Byzantine Empire said in surprise.

"Ben will ask someone to invite you to ask what your opinion is?" Lin An said.

"If they are sincere in surrendering, then it is not impossible." The lord of the Eastern Roman Byzantine Empire pondered for a moment and said.

"But I want to ask you, why did you submit to the Arabs?" The chief general of the Eastern Roman Byzantine Empire looked at the lieutenant general of the Arab Abbasid dynasty and said.

"What else can we do if we don't give in? We couldn't bear the heavy poll tax at all, so we could only choose to give in, but after giving in, we found that even if we gave in to the Arabs, converting to *** religion could not reduce the poll tax. Said the lieutenant general of the Arab Abbasids.

"That's why you chose to kill the main general?" Lin An, the general of Zhenguo, grasped the key point and asked.

"That's right, then we might as well return to the embrace of Orthodoxy. So I killed the damned Arab general. The lieutenant general of the Arab Abbasid dynasty said viciously.

"What are the terms of your surrender?" The chief general of the Eastern Roman Byzantine Empire asked.

The Arab Abbasid lieutenant spread his hands and said: "Our condition is that you will bring us back into the arms of Orthodoxy, and that you will not impose unreasonable taxes on us." Also, I must be the general of the military town of Antioch. ”

"It can't be!" The chief general of the Eastern Roman Byzantine Empire didn't expect the Arab lieutenant to be so excessive, and he refused without thinking about it.

"Hmph, then let's fight to the death!" The lieutenant general of the Arab Abbasid dynasty said calmly: "You must know that you Romans would not have been able to capture the city of Antioch without our help. You will also be chastised by your Emperor. ”

When the commander of the Byzantine Empire in Eastern Rome heard this, he was silent, he understood that the words of the Arab lieutenant were not wrong, after all, he had already lost nine-tenths of his soldiers here, and if he did not take the city of Antioch, then he would definitely be blinded by the Roman emperor, castrated and thrown into the dungeon.

"Think about it, Roman general, if you want to cooperate with us, or fight to the death, it's up to you." The lieutenant general of the Arab Abbasid dynasty calmly stroked his beard.

"......" The chief general of the Eastern Roman Byzantine Empire looked at the Arab lieutenant with an ugly face and said, "Can you make sure that we can take the whole territory of Antioch?" Notice that I'm talking about the whole of Antioch, not the city of Antioch! ”

"What I'm talking about is helping you take all of Antioch. Of course, if you agree, Antioch City can open its doors for you now! The lieutenant of the Arab Abbasid dynasty smiled a little bit on his brown face.

"Ask you again, are you sure you can do it?" The chief general of the Eastern Roman Byzantine Empire looked at the Arab lieutenants.

"Sure, after all, the tenth of our people in Antioch still believe in Orthodoxy." Said the lieutenant general of the Arab Abbasids.

"Okay, General Ben agrees to your request." The Eastern Roman Byzantine Empire gritted his teeth and said.

Although he would not be able to become the general of Antioch at that time, he would not be punished by the Roman Emperor at that time, and even the Roman Emperor would give him a decent title.

"Hahahaha, then Roman general, we have a good cooperation." The lieutenant general of the Arab Abbasid dynasty smiled and saluted the chief general of the Byzantine Empire in the Eastern Romans.

"General Huaxia, please wait here for me for a while, and I'll go and bring the army over." Said the general of the Byzantine Empire in the Eastern Romans.

"Yes, yes!" Lin An spoke simply and clearly.

After saying that, the general of the Eastern Roman Byzantine Empire went back and called the remaining remnants of the Eastern Roman Byzantine Empire, and he returned here with this group of soldiers.

Then the commander of the Eastern Roman Byzantine Empire, the general of the Zhenguo state, Lin An, and the deputy general of the Arab Abbasid dynasty, led their respective armies to march towards the city of Antioch.

When they reached the foot of Antioch, the Arab lieutenant shouted: "Open the door, God has sent to save us!" Those *** were driven away. ”

"Bang Dang"

As soon as the Arab Abbasid lieutenant finished speaking, the gates of Antioch were opened, and the people inside looked at the three armies with expectant eyes.

The three of them looked at each other and nodded, leaving most of the army outside the city, and then entered the city of Antioch with a small number of troops.

Following

The Arab Abbasid lieutenants lobbied outside the various city-states of Antioch in turn, and finally the Eastern Roman Byzantine Empire finally completely recovered the military town of Antioch. , you are lonely, the young lady warms you with a movie
