Section 809 Attack on Isfahan
Netu's house was in chaos, and Suleiman couldn't help much, so he said goodbye and left. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
He's a little out of his soul, and Neitu makes sense!
At present, the Tang army is extremely strong, and under the single-minded westward expedition, the big cannibal is no longer an opponent.
This must be seen, but it must not be spoken to the caliphate.
Because the caliph has fallen into a state of madness, he wants to fight to the death with Datang, and at the same time, Damascus will definitely not fall into the hands of Datang.
Hold Damascus under the attack of the Don army?
No, the caliph is prepared to set fire to the city if it can't be held!
The caliph has gone mad, and if he were to speak of Neitu, the life of the person who spoke would not be saved!
When Suleiman returned home, he had dinner, thought for a while, called his son and nephew and said, "Go back to your hometown at once!" ”
Unable to stake their treasure here, he sent them back to his homeland in the Arabian Peninsula to gather men and prepare supplies, and hurried to Morocco, in the far west of Africa, which was six thousand miles away from Egypt and a desert in between, and the Tang people would hunt them down only if they were crazy, and they could sit and watch the Tang and Europa die.
Tell them to pay attention, collect more supplies, find the most reliable people, and don't make a noise.
……
He left Damascus and ran wildly, but he did not pass through the city of Rubat, but returned to the two rivers through the Lahe River ---- Nuhaibu, munching on the fruit he had stolen on the way, and eating it with great pleasure.
Dates are sweet, lemons are a bit sour, citrus and oranges are sweet, and yuzu is good.
When the road was finished, and when he came to the outside of the city of Najaf, he saw two bazaars, one with a large amount of fruit, and the other with a large number of livestock. Eating a red pink face, he and Wang Xiaojie met outside the city of Baghdad.
"It's yours, you actually went to Damascus!" Wang Xiaojie said with a smile on his face.
"The main man of this tour will be General Wang!" On Gong Ren replied.
The two laughed!
They discussed the next move, because the horsepower was exhausted, the oil and water were running out, and the hornet's nest was provoked, so the Tang army returned east and rushed to Isfahan, which had become their world!
……
The previous propaganda of Isfahan in Damascus was true.
Isfahan is an important city in the middle of the Persian Plateau, as an important barrier in front of the two river basins, and its fall has led to the important two river basins being directly exposed to the Tang people!
On the side of the great cannibals, it is impossible not to know the importance of this city, and they have invested a lot of money to rebuild Isfahan, which has been destroyed by the Tang people, into a fortified city.
Although the castle is not divided into two layers, it is quite wide, fifteen meters high, and has a wide moat, which looks very solid.
Not only was the city strong, but the general who defended it was a general, an old general, Jabali, with a straight face and a white beard but very neatly combed, showing that he acted in a very orderly manner, and indeed he organized his defense effectively.
The Tang army carried out a stormy trebuchet attack on the city, from morning to night for three days!
Fire bombs and stone bullets flew up one after another, smashing heavily on the upper and lower cities of Isfahan, and each stone projectile hit the city walls, and some sections collapsed with a loud noise, accompanied by smoke and dust, adding a pillar of smoke to the sky for Isfahan.
And at night, the countless fireballs that flew towards the city like stars falling, and the spectacular scene of the fires burning everywhere made the people on the side of the Tang people outside the city even more happy. Cheering again and again, many of the former migrant workers did not rest even late at night to watch the projectiles be fired.
This is even more lively than the Spring Festival in my hometown!
Behold, how powerful our attacks are!
Only the main general Fan Wushu shook his head for a while, he knew that this could not scare the big cannibal, and it was rare that there was a trebuchet to surrender the enemy directly, maybe a chemical bomb was possible, but the chemical bomb had its own "user manual" stipulating that it must be used after the enemy received a certain blow, at this time the enemy's courage was confused, and the chemical bomb played a key role.
Days of trebuchet attacks shrouded Isfahan in a haze that did not subside until three days later.
Today, the Tang army officially launched an infantry attack, and under the cover of catapults and bows and arrows, the Tang army requisitioned the people from all over the country to fill the ditches, and the moat on the edge of the city has been filled.
"Woo......!" A whole platoon of soldiers held the horns, two meters long, puffed out their cheeks, and the vigorous sound of the horn tore through the sky, startling a hovering eagle in the air and rushing up into the deep space in the distance.
"Knock knock...... "In front of the huge inclined drum, the big men who are naked / naked / arm are energetically beating the drum surface with thick/big hammers, and the sound spreads for more than ten miles.
The Western Army pays attention to military music, and the small military horn is very easy to use, but the cavalry who only pay attention to mobility likes to use it, and the infantry prefers the horn tuba and the big drum, and there are civilian workers who can help transport it anyway.
At present, there are many civilian workers in the army, and many jobs are handed over to migrant workers, and the characteristic of the Western Army is that there are many outsourcing companies, which are engaged in heavy work such as transportation and construction; although the army has engineering troops and baggage troops, there are also quite a few outsourcing companies that help, for example, the current Tibet highway is maintained by outsourcing companies.
Compared to the huge salaries of military personnel, outsourcing costs only half as much as using the military, which is very cost-effective.
Compared with other armies, Wei Xi's Western Army is more professional.
They don't have to do a lot of work, such as the army's sanitation, kitchen, transportation, etc., which are all done by civilian workers, during the battle.
Migrant workers also like to work for the army, mainly because the army controls the initiative on the battlefield, and the relative danger factor is small, otherwise no one dares to take over the army's work if no matter how much money is spent.
Working for the army, there is money to be made, and the hard-working Tang people flock to it.
In front of the troops lined up like a wall, Fan Wuxian's gaze swept over them.
Now Fan is unharmed, the lord of the country, the official worships the general, has reached the ultimate of military generals, there is no shortage of money, and the family wealth is equal to the three generations of high-ranking officials, as long as they do not spend indiscriminately, there is no problem with glory and wealth.
This was unimaginable for him to be trapped and have to leave the army back then! (Past story: He offended people who couldn't be offended in the army, and there was no hope of promotion, so he was forced to leave the Royal Forest Army of a large company and throw himself into a small business at that time---- Wei Xi's newly formed government army gave Wei Xi a "wet nurse" to take him to life.)
I didn't expect the cause of the past to achieve today's fruit!
He calmly threw his saber and pointed forward!
shouted: "Our army will win!" ”
"Our army will win!" All the people responded, and the sound resounded in the sky, shaking the mountains and rivers. The crowd of people all over the mountains, with rushing carts, battering rams, ladders, and well railings, began to slowly surging towards the city walls, like a flood, like the tide of the sea, vowing to crush Isfahan, who trembled before them!
