Chapter 1041. Cannon fodder siege

When people mention Christianity, the first impression is Rome, but they don't know that the first Christianity as the state religion in history is Armenia, in 302 AD, the Armenian king Trada III declared Christianity as the state religion of Armenia, and since then began the history of Christianity for more than 1,000 years.

It is also miraculous to say that under the great expansion of Islam, even many Buddhist countries in the Western Regions that have been inherited for hundreds of years have collapsed one by one, and the future generations are new. Xinjiang can only appreciate the scenery of the ancient Buddha country from the ruins.

However, it is amazing that this small country near the birthplace of Islam has been able to maintain its Christian faith until the 21st century.

The last betrayal of these Caucasus peoples made Li Jie understand one thing, sometimes he was too wishful thinking, Armenia was so inclined to Byzantium, in addition to the fact that the two countries had the same faith, another reason was that Rome had conquered and ruled Armenia for a long time.

It was a real conquest of iron and blood.

After the arrival of the Min State, he basically moved the Central Plains Huairen's set over, Xi Junmai led the Punjab army to help the Armenians drive out the Arabs, and the merchants of the Great Min brought rich trade.

In layman's terms, a good person!

Good people are always not rewarded, the same two people, one person has beaten you and bullied you, and the other person blindly tolerates you and gives you benefits, when two people fight, they have to make a choice between the two, and many people choose to help the bad guy who bullied them.

If you don't help, you may have to be beaten, as for the good guys? Anyway, he has a good temper and will tolerate me!

Genghis Khan and his descendants slaughtered 200 million people in Eurasia, and the vast territory conquered, not that no one rebelled, but that almost all the aborigines in the occupied areas were killed by the Mongols.

The Central Asian farming destroyed by the Mongols did not recover until the 21st century, and the fear of the Mongols could even stop children crying at night, and now Li Jie is also a conqueror, although he is not as hard-hearted as Genghis Khan, but he does not want to be a good man.

Armenia has no unified power during the Persian rule, divided into more than a dozen feudal Armenian princes to rule, recalling the evil things he has done to the Fujian people, one by one the princes wept bitterly and knelt down to confess, more sincere than the confession of the Jews' persecution of Jesus Christ, around this, Li Jie still seems to be full of suspicion, and did not give these Armenians a good face, as for the last state banquet and reward, don't even think about it.

This time, there were about 40,000 people from the Caucasus Mountains, and the princes wept bitterly and repented to the king of Min all morning, and at ten o'clock at noon, these ragged clothes, wearing torn leather robes, thick linen shirts with holes, and some of them did not even have a knife in their hands, but only took this big wooden stick and stupidly pointed at the city wall.

Looking at the ten-meter-high and strong city wall on the banks of the Tigri River, groups of Arabs armed with armor scimitars carefully crafted by Persian craftsmen, holding aloft the formidable compound bow of the Arabian desert that has hit Europe, Asia and Africa, and the hearts of all Armenian princes are dripping with blood.

The attitude of the Min people makes it clear that they want to be cannon fodder!

Don't you agree, okay? Looking back at the big oil pot that had been carried by the Min people to the front of the battle, a group of Armenian princes were even more chilled.

Deterred the closure of Taixi in the morning, at ten o'clock at noon, Li Jie's royal car also arrived in front of Taixi's closure, surrounded by thousands of iron forests, looking up at the city that had allowed him to reach the pinnacle of his life, looking at the nervous Arabs like ants on the city for a long time, and then tilted his head to the side.

A bad old man who was also from an Arab background, but now wore the official uniform of the Ministry of Rites of the Great Min Five Rites, and had a white beard, nodded with Li Jie, rode a camel and walked quickly to the front of the whole army, and shouted loudly to Ctesiphon, who was waiting for him.

"Listen to the Bedouin brothers above, I, the army of benevolence and righteousness of Da Min, have come to fight the people, in order to conquer the Hawariji cult and the bandit leader Hussein, who betrayed the caliph and brazenly attacked Damascus, as long as he lays down his arms and opens the city gate, Da Min Qiu will not commit any crimes, if not, the day the city is broken, the jade will be burned!"

The skilled Arabic translator made the city a mess again.

This threat, the Arabs are too familiar, at the time of the great expansion, the Bedouin army under the banner of Islam gave similar conditions to the cities along the way, either to Islam, we are brothers, autumn is not guilty, or not to surrender without going out of the city, pay the poll tax, we will keep you safe, or bloody battle, let Allah decide.

However, after a series of conditions, those who take refuge may not really be guilty, and those who pay the poll tax may not necessarily live a safe life.

There was no such a big massacre, and he didn't care that his father was the Sultan of Kufa, looking at the dizzying army of Fujian under the city, Xiao Qiyad bit his lip and really thought about the pros and cons of surrendering to the Fujian.

This war cannot be fought, the difference between the strength of the enemy and us is so huge, and the other side is still an agricultural people who are good at attacking cities.

Unfortunately, knowing his son's temperament, in addition to entrusting Ctesiphon, Ziyad also ordered a noble chief to assist him.

"Camel fart! How can we dignified Arabs bow to the infidels and die of this heart, even if we fight the whole city to the death, we will never surrender! ”

Before little Ziad could react, the dwarf chief Yezdgil who spoke had already drawn his bow and shot an arrow at him.

After a distance of more than 100 meters, the arrow only hit the front hooves of the camel, and the camel took two steps back, but the face of Abdullah, an Arab official, who looked like a dead man, did not change for a moment, and walked back with the camel in silence.

Looking at this scene, Li Jie was not surprised, and even happened to have some thoughts with him, took out the fish talisman from his arms, Li Jie elegantly handed it over to his side, Su Lie, who had been on the side for a long time, immediately took it with both hands, and immediately ran to the front of the formation.

"The time has come to prove your loyalty to King Min! Capture this city that desecrates the majesty of the King of Min, wash it in blood, and the King of Min promises that on the day the city is broken, he will not seal the knife for three days! ”

Compared with the princes, the feudal lords were full of apprehension, and more than 40,000 Armenians cheered in unison when they were crowded in front of the formation or even chaotic in Armenia.

On the one hand, the Arab Empire's plundering of the Caucasus in recent years has reached an outrageous level, and almost every family has a grudge against these Arabs, and on the other hand, almost all the wealth of Mesopotamia plundered by the Arabs is stored in this city, and the wealth has also made them mad.

Anyway, if you can fight for a lifetime of wealth, you will earn it!

Without waiting for these Armenian princes to give orders, the Armenian army composed of peasants from all over the country, who had long been impatient, had already rushed forward like a swarm of bees carrying the ladder sent down by the Great Min, and in the loud roar, some people were even shouting how much money they wanted to grab.

Seeing the Armenian army rushing out like a herd of wild boars released from the slaughter, with their teeth and claws dancing one after another, they rushed straight at the green galloping horse banners, shivered in fear, and glanced at Yezdgil with resentment, little Ziyad had to also draw his scimitar and shouted to the city: "Guards, for the sake of the Lord, defense!" ”

There are thousands of ways to siege the city, but in the era of cold weapons, roaring and scolding, the chaotic Armenians rushed to the city wall intensively, and in an instant, hundreds of ladders were set up on the towering city head of Ctesiphon, and the siege method of the Fujian army returned directly to the most primitive, and there was no long-range equipment to cover, and the ants were directly attached to the siege.

Faced with the sight of countless heads climbing upward, the Bedouin warriors, who had long since disappeared, also silently remembered Allah's heart and trembled, and pulled their bows and aimed them below.

The man changed, but the bow did not, and the elasticity of the animal tendons and the pine wood of the Caucasus Mountains together gave a terrifying force, and a thousand bows shot down neatly, and immediately the dense crowd under the city fell by more than half.

"Quick, pour it on Lao Tzu!"

Taller than one meter and six, shorter than the average Arab, Yezdegil was as irritable as a camel in heat, his six brothers had died in the death march of the Nefta Desert in the last Arab War, and he had an infinite hatred for the Min army, and in the shouts of this dwarf chieftain, barrels of black, greasy liquid were dumped.

Smiling at the blackened Armenian, Yezdgil threw down the torch......
