Section 900 Zarahan's Resentment

I have to say that Yusuf is an old fox, and he has captured people's hearts accurately. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Fortunately, Tang Tian was very respectful and polite to him, and Yousufoken contributed to her.

Otherwise, Zarahan will definitely be defeated, why is Yusuf so risky, anyway, the credit will definitely not run, he is not a good man and a woman.

"Lord Muhammad Zarahan, the general of the Northern Army, has an order that all departments must not resist, lay down their weapons, and surrender to the Tang Army!" Zarahan's own soldiers held talismans aloft and shouted along the way.

At the same time, Tang Qi joined him, shouting in the big food language: "Put down your weapons, disarm and don't kill!" ”

Several teams of pro-soldiers went to various places to propagate, and Zarahan personally went to the more formed troops to recruit surrender.

Even the generals have surrendered, what else can the soldiers think!

So everywhere there were soldiers who raised their hands to surrender, and they were greeted by the Tang army, and they walked in groups to the temporarily prepared prisoner of war camp.

Many soldiers who were hiding in caves and in the grass heard the sound, looked out, and happily ran out and surrendered.

I'm glad that my life has been saved.

There were a lot of people who came to surrender, more than the soldiers who died on the road and those who had surrendered before.

However, some mid-level officers are ambitious, and they do not want to dishonor their honor and refuse to surrender!

A young officer led his more than 1,000 people, stationed on a hill, guarding the territory like a little tiger, eyeing the Tang army.

The two armies confronted each other, and the atmosphere was tense.

At this time, Zarahan's role was reflected, he did not bring weapons, did not bring his retinue, strode towards the group of nervous soldiers, he said in a deep voice: "Ahmad Gul, the war is over, you have no right to let your brothers die in vain, they still have parents, wives and children waiting for them to return!" ”

"I cannot betray the Supreme God and the Caliph!" The young officer shouted.

"Even the caliph was captured!" Zarahan said melancholy: "God has turned his back on the caliph and has turned his back on us, and victory has long been far away from us!" ”

"We have been defeating battles, from faraway Khorasan to here, how many of us have died! How many times have we won against the Dons? "Both Zarahan and Gul are insiders, and the outside claims that the Great Eclipse is constantly winning, but they know that the Great Eclipse is ready to eat grass! (The situation is very good, and it is getting better and better, and it will be carried forward in the future, and everyone will come to eat grass!) )

"Very few! Hardly! Gul whispered.

"God determines the outcome of the war, if God still cares for us, why do we suffer so many defeats!" Zarahan said in confusion.

"That's because we're in sin!" Gul continued.

"No!" Zarahan retorted: "God decides the outcome of the war, but the victory or defeat also depends on the preparation for war, the strength of the army, as well as health and water storage, do you know how much money, food, horses and personnel they prepared for this war?" ”

Without waiting for Gul to say anything, Zarahan said: "They used one and a half million horses, five hundred heavy catapults, and each cavalry with two hundred arrows!" ”

The numbers are right, 300,000 cavalry, 5 horses for one person, that is, 1.5 million horses, the Don Army definitely has so many horses!

The exact number is that during the period of Tang Xuanzong, for foreign wars, his empire had 700,000 horses, and he controlled mainly the horse breeding land in Hexi. And Wei Xi has both Hexi and the land of Monan (Mongolian Plateau) to raise horses, the Western Regions can raise horses, Central Asia can also raise horses, and the four horse breeding places all work for him, and it is not too much to double.

For the sake of this war, only the Turgish people were mobilized to raise horses for the Tang army!

With 1.5 million horses, the total number of nomads may not be able to raise so many horses, but the technology and diligence of the Tang people, coupled with the grazing of the nomads, have raised so many horses.

From east to west, it's the sound of weapons tapping! Houses were built everywhere, and smelting chimneys were lined up.

Of course, in the war, in fact, so many horses were rarely used, but the ability of the Tang Army to mobilize for war was beyond doubt.

Gul was speechless!

No wonder the Great Food Cavalry can never win the Tang Cavalry! They had at most one man and one horse, and at most they had no more than 300,000 horses, and the northern army attacked Constantinople with only 300 catapults, of which about 100 were heavy.

How can such an opponent beat them!

Gul is desperate!

He threw his weapon to the ground and cried loudly!

Zarahan comforted him at first, and then began to cry too!

The two generals, one old and one young, hugged their heads and cried, it was really a battlefield spectacle!

They are weeping, their God is no longer on them, they are weeping, they are going to give up what they used to hold onto, they are crying, their dead brothers are really dying in vain, and they have to live shamelessly!

……

The overall situation was basically calm, and at night, Yusuf took Zarahan to see Tang Tian, and the two galloped side by side, Yusuf complained: "How can you take such a personal risk, what if they take a risk!" ”

Zarahan sighed and said, "If they give me a knife, it won't be bad. ”

Seeing that he was sullen, Yusufu immediately threw over a big truth, and he repeated a passage from Wei Xi: "We have done our best for the great food, and we should not bear the responsibility for the defeat of the war, just as the crime of non-war is also, we are in the world, and we are not indebted to the righteousness." A true warrior is not one who dares to die a hundred, but who dares to live to prove his worth. You lost a stage to show your talents in Dashi in order to walk on a bigger stage. ”

"Your stage will be the conquest of Constantinople!" Zarahan is unequivocal.

Zarahan was moved, grabbed his hand and clasped it tightly, and said in a deep voice: "I must let the battle flag of the Tang Dynasty be planted in Constantinople!" ”

……

"It's a pleasure to have you join us! On behalf of the Lord and the Princess, I would like to extend a warm welcome to General Zarahan! Tang Tian said with a spring breeze on his face.

Although the big eater man is not interested in women, Tang Tian's three arrows make Zarahan not have any contempt at all, if it weren't for his subordinates desperately blocking him, Tang Tian could really shoot him to death!

Knowing Tang Tian's identity from Yousuf, Zarahan didn't dare to slack off, and arched his hand: "Your subordinates are defeated, how can you be so polite to Her Royal Highness the Queen!" ”

"You are not defeated, you are defeated by the caliph of Damascus, he is an incompetent general, tired to death of the three armies!" The interpreter told Tang Tian's words to Zarahan, which made him quite happy, after all, he was able to push the responsibility forward to others.

After entering the tent and sitting down, Zarahan immediately offered advice, he took out the map he had brought and said: "This is Apoll in Syria, this is Constantinople in Eastern Rome, my 100,000-strong army has moved south, so that there is a lot of emptiness between the two places, and the Eastern Romans will soon fill this gap and occupy these cities!" ”

"And these cities are all before...... We...... The bloody battle has been won, and it can't be given to them in vain! ”

"I hope that Her Royal Highness the Queen will immediately send troops to control these cities, and I am willing to be a small soldier to lead the way for the army, and never let the Eastern Romans succeed!" Zarahan said firmly.

Tang Tian looked at him for a moment, and then smiled and said, "General Zalahan, you are laughing!" She didn't let the interpreter say this, but asked the interpreter to translate her words: "How can you lead an army for a small soldier!" ”

"Staff officer!" Tang Tian shouted.

"In!" Someone answered.

"How many troops did you get?" Tang Tian asked.

"Over 50,000 people!"

"Very good!" Tang Tian told Zarahan: "You are still the general of these 50,000 people, after making some preparations, together with my troops, we will send troops to Constantinople!" ”

Zarahan is overjoyed and thanks!

……

After he left, Tang Tian asked, "Uncle You, he has a deep grudge against Constantinople!" ”

"Of course!" Yusuf explains: "We attacked Constantinople for seven years (674-680), and his father, two uncles, and three brothers, one died every year, and in the seventh year, he almost died under the walls of Constantinople, but he was not able to die, and was rescued. From then on, he took that luck as God's will, and he must break Constantinople! ”

Yusuf said silently: "In order to defeat Constantinople, let alone cooperate with us, even cooperate with the devil, he will do it!" ”

"No wonder!" There are no wonders in the world, there are such things, Tang Tian was surprised.
