871 The Two Cities Watch Watch
One of the Tang people, the Mandarin Duck thief who rode a black horse and a white horse, led a large army across the Tigris River after the capture of Baghdad. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
It was advantageous for them to choose the city of Baghdad to break through, because Baghdad was only more than 60 miles from the Euphrates, and as long as they crossed the Euphrates, they would be able to leave the two river valleys behind.
With such a status, how can a big cannibal not be guarded against!
In front of it, two small towns block the road, one Babel and one Kirari, each named after the local water birds.
They are military towns, close enough to see each other. There were not many inhabitants, but there were quite a few troops, each with 20,000 men, and the structure was 15,000 infantry and 5,000 cavalry, and the plan was that in case Baghdad was broken through by the enemy, when the enemy crossed the Tigri River, these two armies were required to take decisive measures and resolutely drive the enemy back into the river!
The city of Babel was led by Najim and the city of Kerali was led by Ouyabadi, and both men were staunch patriots regardless of their military skills, and their determination to fight was unquestionable.
Similarly, the two viciously said to the soldiers: "The Tang people are real robbers!" They have come to our land to burn, kill, and plunder, and do all kinds of evil! ”
"They have taken over beautiful cities, our people are weeping, our armies have been defeated by their shameless means, they have destroyed our religion, they are going to bring down our ......gods," the two generals lamented their family history, and finally said: "Can we let the robbers run rampant in our homeland?" ”
"Can't!" The soldiers raised their arms and shouted together.
Seeing everyone's surging emotions and impassioned looks, both Najim and Uyabadi were very satisfied.
On the surface, all the people are indignant, and for the Tang people, they want to get rid of them quickly, but in fact?
"The Tang people are powerful! They defeated the caliph's million-strong army, and even the caliph was captured! ”
"But isn't the caliph still in Damascus?"
"That's because the Tang people extorted the ransom and released the caliph!"
"They have occupied Khorasan and Persia, and now they are coming to attack the two rivers, and wherever they go, we have no army against them!"
"Their cavalry is so powerful that they can shoot people with an arrow at a distance of two hundred paces! You can even bend a human head with a single spell! (Referring to the Hulk incident, there was once a big food warrior named Hulk, when he rushed forward, he was broken by a fast arrow and broke his neck bone, but he didn't find the arrow, and the big cannibal didn't know the cause of his death, and it was creepy to talk about him)
"They were so cruel that the cities of Isfahan and Abadan slaughtered them, and the men were killed, and the women were reduced to slavery!"
"Frightened, then aren't they killing people without blinking?"
"No, as long as they surrender, they won't kill people, and many cities won't kill people after they surrender."
"Oh!"
"Their weapons are capable of spitting smoke and spitting fire, defeating our Two Rivers Fleet!"
"Ahh
……
The gossip is flying all over the sky, and the more it spreads, the more outrageous it becomes, and it is said that the Tang people are very powerful, and they are definitely not the opponents of the Tang people, so we can't provoke them!
The upper echelons of the military found out about the situation and ordered that it should not be discussed, and those who violated military law were involved, but the mouth of the people was more important than the defense of Sichuan, and everyone did not believe it at first, but after the ban was issued, they believed it.
If there is no ghost in your heart, what are you afraid of!
The undercurrent in the army is turbulent, and the confidence is weak, compared with the confidence of the Tang army, it is really a heaven and a place.
At first, the defenders of the two cities still had confidence in the defense of the city of Baghdad, believing that the city of Baghdad was the second Bagdan, which was enough for the Tang people to meet and break their blood there.
The Tang people shed blood under the city and couldn't beat the city, so the local two cities naturally sat back and relaxed.
Don't want to!
A loud noise came from the city of Baghdad, which was actually heard in both cities, and the mushroom cloud that rose made it visible to the soldiers and civilians of the two cities.
The people who had been released from the city of Baghdad fled to the two cities and brought the news to them, and their faces were full of terror, saying, "The Tang people have smashed the city of Baghdad with a slap!" ”
"How is that possible!" People didn't believe it at first.
Those people's faces turned red, and they pointed their fingers and said: "They are just a slap, and our city has been slapped with two such big openings, and the inner city and the outer city have all been destroyed!" ”
Shaking his head and sighing: "We can't hold the city, the Tang people are too powerful!" ”
The defenders of the two cities were skeptical, uneasy, and privately disagreed.
……
In any case, the city of Baghdad fell, and the Tang people's attack was imminent, and the defenders of the two cities, according to the plan, each sent 10,000 infantry and 5,000 cavalry, ready to fight on the beachhead, and then carried out the combat mission of driving the Tang people into the river to drink water.
"The best thing they can deal with when crossing the river, we caught them off guard."
The attitude of the two guards insisted, and the subordinates were ready to fight.
However, the army had not yet left the city, and the Tang cavalry rushed to the city, both cities!
Seeing the big food army with the fruit exposed, he immediately shot a random arrow without asking any questions.
The Great Food Army hurriedly raised its shield to resist, and the cavalry was ready to attack.
The newly arrived Tang rode no more than 100 people, but he was not afraid of the army of 10,000 people. . . Of course, they are not afraid, anyway, they just fly a kite and shoot it from a distance, you can't hit him, but he can hurt you.
It's disgusting!
"Damn the Tang people, it's a man's, come and fight!" The Tang people made a commotion.
Unexpectedly, someone in Tang Qi replied loudly in Arabic: "If you ask me to come and fight, I will come and fight, isn't it very shameless!" ”
"There are 10,000 of you, I am only 100 people, I dare to provoke you, and dare to say that we are not men, not heroes, I really laugh to death!"
Hearing the big cannibal speechless, bullying the Tang army with few soldiers, the big food army sent cavalry, stepped forward to capture, the Tang cavalry of more than 100 horses turned around and ran, they rode fast horses, there were few people, and they ran fast, even the Arabian horses had to spend a little time to catch up.
However, the Tang army didn't give them time at all, but they saw the smoke and dust rising in the distance, and Tang rode to the ground.
The cavalry rushed in groups, and the hooves of the horses shook the ground with an astonishing sound.
The wavy line is about to surge, and I can't help but say, it's an arrow!
A torrential rain of arrows fell like grass, and the others hurriedly hid behind their shields.
Naturally, there was no shortage of courageous people who fought hard to shoot at Tang Qi, and the result was tragic.
Tang cavalry bows and arrows shot far and accurately, while the Tang Dynasty infantry bows were obviously inferior, and under the attack of arrows, they fell one after another.
Just rubbing the edge of the Great Food Army's big array, and kept shooting arrows.
Annoyed!
However, their desire to fight has been weakened with the continuous increase of Tang cavalry.
Tang rode three to five thousand, and he was already capable of threatening the safety of their brigade.
Then the defenders on the city wall roared, and then a report was sent to the two guards, and they found that the Tang army brigade was coming from the other side of the river!
So it was logical that the two cities gathered their troops and entered the city, and they lined up in shield arrays to cover them, and the troops entered the city one after another.
Tang Cai just released arrows, and did not come forward to clash, so that the Great Food Army could collect the army into the city without danger.
