The two sides of Da Shi and Da Tang advanced and retreated from each other, and gradually stuck to a place fifty miles away from the coast. Da Shi took advantage of the opportunity to transport a large number of troops over, and continued to attack, trying to push the battle line back.

The city of Yathrib, after the arrival of the Prophet Muhammad, was changed to Medina Nabi, which means "City of the Prophets", or simply "Medina". The city is not only a sacred place for Muslims, but also a political center for food.

It was here that Umar I succeeded the caliphate and led the Great Eclipse into a period of unprecedented expansion.

At this moment, in his seat, Omar I leaned back slightly expressionlessly, his slender fingers tapping rhythmically and gently, listening to the person in front of him describe the battle on the front line in a big food language.

"The Tang army was small in number, and they were afraid of our Muslim warriors, so they did not seem to dare to engage us head-on after that, except for the first battle, and mostly used bows and arrows and exploding iron balls to stop our army, and rarely directly charged and killed. The frontal rush is also a one-touch retreat, and it does not dare to last long. If it weren't for the fact that they had a lot of bows and arrows and iron balls that would explode, they would not have been able to hold it now. ”

"I heard that the warriors of the Tang Kingdom are very strong and are not afraid of death, is there a conspiracy in this?" Umar I thought for a moment and asked softly.

"The warriors of the Tang Kingdom are very strong, and they are not bad compared to the warriors of our Muslims." The man replied, "It's just that the number of people is too small to dare to charge head-on." According to reports from the front, the Don army seems to have only a few thousand people. ”

Omar I frowned: "It was reported that the Tang army had a lot of people before, how could it be that there were only a few thousand?" ”

"The last general is also suspicious." The man nodded and said, "But according to the front, it seems that the Tang army only has a few thousand men and horses, and it will never exceed 10,000 people." Therefore, the final guess is that there are only two possibilities. The first possibility is that the Tang army has an ambush and wants to wait for us to go deeper to ambush us. The second possibility is that there are not many soldiers and horses from Datang this time, and there are so many people on the front line. ”

"There's a third possibility." Omar I said: "There are still many Tang troops, but they are not engaged in this battle, but they are holding a solid position. ”

After a pause, Umar I asked again: "Can you see the Tang State's troop carriers?" ”

The man shook his head and said, "The army of the Tang Kingdom came from the land in the south, and there are no ships of the Tang Kingdom. ”

Omar's eyes froze, and he said in a deep voice, "That must be the third type." The sea ships used to transport troops for thousands of miles will certainly not be small. At least it won't be smaller than those merchant ships, and it's impossible not to be seen. It must have stopped somewhere else. And there are only so few people in front, so there must be a large number of people left behind to camp - have you ever sent people to Sanlan and Shunai to investigate? Fighting from such a distance of 10,000 miles, it is absolutely impossible to have a stable rear. I guess the Tang army will build a walled city there, and want to gain a foothold there first, in order to grow stronger, and then confront my Great Eclipse head-on! Those on the front line, I'm afraid, are just to delay and buy time for the resettlement of the big army behind. ”

"In that case, wouldn't we be even more incapable of being held back by Moululai!" The next person was shocked: "If there is too much delay in Mululai, Tang Guo will have to stand on his feet!" ”

Umar I lowered his head and pondered for a moment, then raised his head again and said: "Mulullai's offensive will not be reduced, send more troops and horses." At the same time, he immediately sent people to Shunai and Sanlan to investigate, if there was really a Tang army, he would use Mululai's offensive as bait to attract the eyes and ears of the Tang army, so that Tang Guo would think that my big food was going to break through in Mululai. Secretly, he used the sailor to go south and directly went to Sanlan and Shunai to attack the main force of the Tang State. ”

"Yes!" The man's expression was solemn, and he immediately went down to arrange for the delivery of orders.

The order of the caliph reached the front as quickly as possible. There is no shortage of devout believers in the Great Eclipse, and for them, the caliph is the spokesman of Allah, and the words of the caliph are like oracles.

The order was swiftly executed, and the spies of the Great Eclipse sailed down the coast in small boats, rowing hard towards the south.

More than a month passed, and the war in Mulule became even more stalemate. The armies of Datang and Da Shi came and went within a hundred miles of the coast, relying on the long-range power of firearms, Datang's vital force was well preserved, there were almost no deaths, and there were very few serious injuries, which had no impact on the overall combat effectiveness. However, the Great Eclipse consumed a lot of vital strength, and used the lives of the warriors to fill out a hundred places off the ground near the sea.

"Da Shi is still increasing his troops, and it is estimated that there are at least 50,000 people who have crossed this side of the coast." Su Dingfang said to Xia Hongsheng: "In my opinion, it's time to close the net." ”

Xia Hongsheng nodded: "It's almost." If there are more people who cross over, I'm afraid it will be difficult for us to fight. Even right now, it's already stressful. ”

"Not really." Su Dingfang waved his hand very confidently: "If the 50,000 people who crossed the sea are all cavalry, I may still be afraid." However, because he is in a hurry to cross the sea, he uses more infantry troops, hehe, it is not a problem. ”

"Without further ado, tell the soldiers that they are all full today, go to bed early, and when the sun rises tomorrow, it will be the time for those big cannibals to see the true strength of our Tang Dynasty soldiers!" Xia Hongsheng said: "Everything will be done according to the plan. ”

Everyone was immediately excited when they heard this, and Xi Jun clapped his hands: "It's time to wait!" ”

"Newspaper—" Suddenly there was a sound of a horse outside.

Xia Hongsheng raised his head: "Come in and talk!" ”

Outside, the horse immediately entered the tent and saluted: "Report to the chief manager, General Li has sent a report, seeing that the great water eater warship has made another move, and the team is heading south!" ”

"To the south?" Su Dingfang took a step to the front of the map: "What a good hand!" The big food is yin enough, this is to sneak attack our base in Sanlan Country! ”

"The base of the Sanlan Kingdom is unstable, and most of the firearms and ammunition have been brought by us, there are not many warships, most of them are cargo ships, once they are raided by the Great Food Army, it may be really dangerous. If the base of the Sanlan Kingdom is destroyed, we will be alone and outflanked by the Great Food. Xi Junmai also said solemnly.

"Thanks to our ships far enough away from the Great Eater's ship to see them, they can't see us." Xue Rengui said: "Otherwise, they will succeed." ”

"Someone come, immediately send a report to the Sanlan Kingdom and let them get ready. The remaining warships immediately went north to meet them. Xia Hongsheng ordered in a deep voice: "Send a report to Li Chongyi and Li Yexu, and let the two of them accompany the south outside the line of sight of the Great Food Warship, and attack the remaining Warship to take down the Great Water Eater!" The order was sent to Liu Renshi's department, asking him to move to the position of the original Li Chongyi department, take over the original task of Li Chongyi's department, and once the counterattack begins, first bombard the Great Food Warship and the Great Food Army here. ”
