The Mesopotamian Plain, one of the four major birthplaces of civilization, the oldest cultural development center in the Middle East, built the first city here, compiled the first law, invented the first potter's wheel for making pottery, although I don't want to admit it, but the Crescent Fertile Land of the Two River Basin The origin of civilization here is earlier than that of China. ,:。

However, the Sumerians who created a splendid Babylonian civilization have a fatal flaw, they are too smart, too smart people are often not united, there are Assyria in the south, the Hittites in the north, and the Semitic people in the east and the Khorasan Plateau, the ancestors of the 'Bo' people continue to invade, in this case, the various city-states are still constantly divided, civil wars, and finally, the civilization collapsed the year before last, and the Sumerians were drowned in the long river of history, and began the long history of foreign rule.

Assyria, the ancient 'Bo', the Seleucid Empire of the Greeks, the Parthia, the 'Bo' Ssasanid Dynasty, and the Arabs today, now, this unique, ancient and 'fertile' land has ushered in a new uninvited guest, the same ancient civilization of the Tang people and the Tianzhu people formed a huge army.

However, for these ancient civilized neighbors, the Mesopotamians were not enthusiastic, and even showed particularly hostile behavior, the Fujian army entered for more than ten days, and small-scale civilian attacks came one after another, although most of them were driven away by the Fujian state, the Mesopotamian people were still happy.

During the Sassanid Dynasty, 'Bo's built six prosperous cities along the banks of the Euphrates River, plus the capital Ctesiphon, and called the seven cities, the Arabic called the seven cities Maidane, which means the metropolis, the first challenge faced by the army of Fujian was Basra at the border of Khorasan', although Mesopotamia was in a plain area, but there were still roads to be found, Basra guarded the important road to Ctesiphon, the center of Arab rule in the two river valleys, and the later Baghdad near Baghdad.

This is the 'gate' of the invasion of the Arab Empire, and the strategic location is extremely important, and here, there is destined to be a big war!

The first to arrive here is the left road under the command of Xue Qing, the left road three guards, Basra is a big city, close to the Euphrates River, with a strong city defense and the river as a defensive auxiliary, in order to cooperate with the siege, Li Jie also personally came from the rear army, brought more than 30,000 Jews and people to assist in the siege.

Although there are cannons, tiger squat cannons and other gunpowder weapons, this time the siege is useless, or the assembled counterweight trebuchet and the "bed" crossbow, on the one hand, Li Jie also wants a complete Basra city, on the other hand, the black fire "medicine" is because the Tang Dynasty was defeated in the battle with the Arab Empire, the craftsman was captured, and it was transmitted to Europe, although Li Jie was confident in defeating the Arab Empire, but the empire's good luck was too evil "door", there was a pimple in his heart, and at the critical moment, Li Jie was still unwilling to use the fire "medicine" weapon.

The siege weapons of Fujian are built in the form of accessories of uniform size in the assembly line workshop, and there are a large number of sappers in the army, under their command, they assemble them with wrenches and iron accessories and screws, and 30,000 people work together, and in three days twelve counterweight trebuchets, as many as 200 'bed' crossbows are erected in the east, south and north directions of Basra, and the main attack is the east 'gate'.

Although the national "sex" character is cunning and "treacherous" because of the upheaval, we have to admit that the national "sex" character of the Jews is indeed tenacious and tenacious, and they still insist on wearing pointed hats and robes as slaves in Fujian for more than a few years, and are united under the ideology of Judaism.

In the early morning of three days later, looking at the murderous weapons made by their many days of hard work, the murderous weapon was awe-inspiring at the Xiongcheng in front of them, and groups of Jewish laborers gathered in a pile, pointing at the city wall and laughing, and even saw the Fujian army attacking the city, these people also laughed loudly and guessed how many Arab cubs the Fujian people could slaughter for a while.

When Muhammad unified the Arabian Peninsula, he slaughtered the Jews and reduced the women and children to slaves.

Of course, the Jews would never remember how they betrayed Muhammad to the old Arab aristocracy in Mecca, much less how they had never been a firm supporter of the Bols in the war with Byzantium. Anyway, the Jews are wronged, why should they be treated as outsiders when they go there.

Carrying the sun on their backs, the small phalanx of 900 people was densely arranged under the city like tofu blocks, and the sunlight from the east in the morning reflected on the helmets of the army, and on the tips of the lances, shining on the wall with a cold light.

Today, as the main task is Xue Qing's left leading army guard, the standing army of Fujian, the best selected from various military governments, politically they have the right to establish meritorious military knighthoods, economically enjoy the same tax exemption as the Tang families who moved to Fujian, and enjoy a larger share of land, as well as the government's slaves and maids to help cultivate the fields, the only thing they need to pay is to fight for the Fujian country.

Nearly forty percent of the soldiers are still from Tianzhu and other ethnic origins, as long as they can participate in the sixteen guards of the Fujian State, they can obtain the status of the Tang people, which is also a convenient channel for other ethnic groups to rise in the Fujian State, so Li Jie does not worry about their battles*, as for the remaining six layers of Tang people? Moved from distant China, the first time they obtained the land, they were incorporated into the government and military government, and enjoyed the preferential economic treatment of Fujian.

Scar Liu and the rebellion of the Brahmana 'sect' rebellion and 'chaos', the harm caused to the Tang people, as well as the hostility of foreign races to the Tang people everywhere is a small lecture in three days, a big lecture in five days, and now the number of Tang people in Fujian is more than six or seven million, it cannot be said that everyone is patriotic and enthusiastic, and at least there are eight layers of consciousness to go to the battlefield for Li Jie, as for combat effectiveness? The Han and Tang dynasties, known for their heroism, never lacked courage on the battlefield.

The king of Min personally supervised the battle in the rear, the king flag fluttered 'swinging', watching the 'bed' crossbow in front of him was constantly pulled up, and the eight-meter-high counterweight trebuchet throwing arm was also constantly pulled down, today as the main attack task of the left leading army guard each murderous 'forced' people, holding the 'fine' fifty practice horizontal knife and the steel tiger head round shield, from time to time there are soldiers who let out an irrepressible low roar, just waiting for the first round of long-range artillery bombardment, rushed up to fight.

Later, under the Wang Banner, as the commander of the forbidden army, Zan Po still has strong arms, meticulously wearing a Huangluo umbrella cover for Li Jie, and now the young Tubo general of the Geer family no longer has the slightest intention of looking down on the Fujian civilization, and for Li Jie to play an umbrella, there is an inexplicable sense of pride in the 'chest', which makes this red-faced man's 'chest' chest 'stiff' extraordinarily high.

However, compared to his high spirits, Li Jie, who was dressed in golden armor under the umbrella, couldn't help frowning and staring at the densely dangling flags on the ten-meter-high 'Bo'si stone and earth city wall in front of him, as well as the heads of the defenders hurrying by.

After so many years of fighting, although Li Jie is embarrassed to call himself a famous general until now, he has also gained a lot of indescribable experience, and the seemingly ordinary enemy city makes him feel a strange feeling, and the unspeakable wrongness is haunting his heart.

Thinking of this strangeness, Li Jie simply waved his hand, summoned the junior colonel of the forbidden army beside him and ordered: "Send a message to Heizhi Changzhi, let him be cautious and contain the troops, just in case!"

"Whoa!"

Loudly agreed, beating the horse, the little colonel from Guanzhong galloped to the front army, and whispered to the golden-armored black-faced man under the former army marshal, seeing that the black-toothed Changzhi took the order flag and dispatched it in the army after hearing it, and the original few leading mansions were put back behind, Li Jie nodded with satisfaction.

In the rumbling drums, the strong atmosphere of the siege battle became more and more intense, before the war, the Fujian State still sent a few civilian officials to the city to persuade them to surrender, after a burst of 'Bo' language on both sides of Ulu Ulu, the defenders of the city refused, and then waited for the civil officials to return to their own positions, and the Fujian army that had been gathering momentum for a long time finally sent out a fierce offensive with thunder and rain.

The ten counterweight stone throwers in Dongcheng threw their arms into the blue sky almost at the same time, and this time the 'shooting' was not an ordinary boulder, but a large black wooden barrel of dozens of catties, the barrels were all refined oil, the Iranian plateau was almost full of oil fields, and after occupying Khorasan, the fierce fire oil was enough.

Before the oil drum was sealed, the fire rope fuse that was hanging in the barrel was slowly burning, and the oil drum was thrown and 'shot' on the city wall and exploded, and the fierce fire ignited by the fire rope burned a large piece of oil at once, and the defenders of the Arab Empire who were burning in the billowing black smoke cried and shouted for their mothers, rolling all over the ground.

Eighty 'bed' crossbows were also knocked down the trigger, many years of war, Fujian paid great attention to the improvement of equipment, 'bed' crossbow below are bearing live heads, you can adjust the direction of firing, long-trained crossbowmen this time is also quite 'fine' accurate, almost more than half scattered 'shot' on the city, the city through the battlements nervous view of the defenders is bad luck again, was shot in the head.

The bloody scene once again caused an uproar in the city, and countless defenders were covered in blood and let out screams of terror.

The war drums of the Fujian Kingdom became thicker and thicker, and within five minutes, the heavy counterweight stone throwing machine 'fired' two rounds, and the 'bed' crossbow 'shot' three rounds, and then in the roaring orders of the various school captains and governors, the Tang Army of the Fujian State as the first 'wave' to attack the three provinces held a tiger's head and a round shield, carrying a rushing rod and a cloud ladder 'tide' rushing to the city wall of Basra to kill it.

Under Li Jie's nervous gaze, the Fujian army was like a rainbow, roaring with a shield, and rushed to more than half of the road in the blink of an eye, but at this moment, the "chaotic" and "chaotic" city suddenly sounded a gong, and then the city 'gate' of Basra was suddenly opened, and seeing this scene in the telescope, Li Jie couldn't help but sneer with a sneer, sure enough!

The ironclad cavalry of the 'Bo's is famous all over the world, even if the Roman Empire has fought all over Western Europe for centuries of infantry formations can not be stopped, in Khorasan, the power of the ironclad cavalry of the Fujian army has also seen, the defense is this hand, the sharp bamboo whistle of the rear army sounded suddenly, the wild army of Fujian suddenly is the momentum of the harvest, close together and form a circle array, the siege of the city does not need the long lance to become magic, the hedgehog-like lance behind the head, a strong crossbow is also on top.

In just half a minute, the Fujian * team changed from 'chaos' and 'chaos' to an orderly formation, facing the 'hole' open city 'gate', and shouted neatly.

"Kill!"

However, at this time, people saw the city 'gate' clearly, and there was no imaginary Ruyun Iron Horse, but a big fat man wearing silk silk and silk walked out tremblingly, and a shout order made the big fat man's 'legs' and feet weak, and he fell to the ground with a plop, kowtowing while shouting Tang Yu who didn't know who taught.

"Heroes spare their lives! What a man spares his life! ”
