The first wave of the Great Eclipse's imposing attack finally collapsed, and less than half of them escaped back to the Great Eclipse's main formation alive. One or two hundred wounded Khorasan warriors lay on the blood-stained battlefield, surrounded by dead bodies of men and horses, wailing incessantly, and the hearts of the people trembled when they heard it.

The Anxi army deliberately kept them and did not kill them, and the more than 10,000 soldiers under the command of Po Xilin could only watch, and no one dared to go to the rescue.

"Damn it, Anthy dog thief who will go to Hellfire!" And Posilin's eyes were bloody, and he looked at their misery with tearing eyes, and cursed hatefully. After a moment, he turned to Ziyad and asked, "Are the surrounding sentinels clear?" Did Gao Xianzhi's main force come? ”

Qi Yade replied: "Emir, people have been sent to sentry within a radius of ten miles around, and no trace of Gao Xianzhi's main force has been found. There was only a group of more than 600 Anxi and Qarluq cavalry wandering four or five miles away, and in addition to that, there were more than 100 Anxi scouts who kept harassing our sentinels. ”

And Bo Xilin frowned, puzzled: "Didn't you say that Gao Xianzhi's main force was thirty miles behind them?" The group of Anxi thieves in front of them detected the news of our dispatch very early, didn't they inform Gao Xianzhi? It stands to reason that Gao Xianzhi should be a little moved! ”

"Men have been sent to reconnoiter thirty miles to the east." Qi Yad thought for a while, and said with some hesitation: "Emir, I always feel that something is wrong, from beginning to end, we have not faced more than six thousand enemies in Anxi. They have always said that Gao Xianzhi's main force is nearby, but no one has seen Gao Xianzhi's army, whether it is the Arabs who fled back from Dongcao or the people of the Nine Kingdoms of Zhaowu. You say, will Gao Xianzhi not be here at all? ”

And Po Xilin suddenly came back to his senses, indeed, I had heard from them that Gao Xianzhi's main force would come, and he was going to fight all the way west from Hushu City to Samujian. But it is true that not even a single person who has escaped back has ever seen Gao Xianzhi's main force.

An army of more than 20,000 people, close to 30,000 people, is not something that can be hidden casually. Since no one has ever spotted them, it already means that they are most likely not here.

"That's right! Gao Xianzhi's main force is definitely not here, they are going to Talas City on another road! ”

"Gone to Talas?"

As the most prominent military general of the Great Eclipse of this period, and Posilin quickly figured out the whole thing, he exclaimed, "That's right, it's going to Talas!" Didn't the information we get from the beginning that the Anxi army was going to attack the city of Talas? This is the information that Shi Guo's secret agents got from Anxi very early, and it is also the most reasonable information, Gao Xianzhi wants to open up the northern Silk Road! ”

Ziyad was surprised, "If that's the case, wouldn't the city of Talas be dangerous?" There were only 8,000 Khorasan religious warriors of Sayyid bin Humed, and 10,000 stone ** troops. If the city of Talas is captured by the Anxi army, the Huang Tuqi Shi of Shaye River will face a situation of being attacked from both sides. If the Anxi army is allowed to open the Shaye River, the Anxi and Beiting armies can attack the river at the same time from the north and south. When the time comes, the land in the river will no longer be ours! ”

And Posilin nodded: "You're right, we must hurry to support Talas!" He paused and laughed self-deprecatingly: "Gao Xianzhi is really calculating, let it out first, and then use six thousand partial divisions to drag us here, and then personally lead the main force of Anxi to attack Talas." Now, let's eat these 6,000 divisions first, and then immediately go to the aid of Talas, hoping that Said Ben Humet will hold out until our reinforcements arrive! ”

"You've decided?"

"It's decided! Originally, I wanted to wait for Gao Xianzhi's main force to come to deal with them, but now I can only retreat and eat this partial division. ”

"Maybe you can still leave half of it to deal with Gao Xianzhi."

While Posilin and Ziyad were plotting to use secret weapons over there, the Anxi army camp was in no doubt, and everyone was cheering happily at this moment.

"See, what a bird eats the governor of the river and Posilin is nothing more than that! Before the fight, how arrogant was the arrogance, saying that if we flatten our camp, we all have to die, what is the result? It's not that I'm deflated in front of our Anxi army! If you want me to say, our Anxi army is invincible in the world! ”

"What kind of bullshit Governor of the River, didn't you hear General Xiao say, as early as ninety years ago, this was the land of the Tang Dynasty! In the land of our Datang, when will it be the turn of the big dog to be the governor! I wondered, with such a rich piece of land, why didn't we Datang take it back earlier and let the big dog eat arrogant for so many years? ”

"You Zhaowu Jiuguo Hu, you are really useless, for decades, you have been bullied like this by these big dogs! I heard that they killed half of your young people last year? It's a shame that there are so many people who are dogs under the hands of big dogs, working for their enemies, and men who don't have a little blood, are they still men? ”

The officers and men of the Anxi Army were high-spirited, laughing and scolding, and the auxiliary soldiers of the Zhaowu Nine Kingdoms were only as if they were full of shame.

"Look, the big dog eater is moving again!" An Ancy soldier in charge of surveillance shouted loudly from the watchtower.

"It's a few oars, and they want to use this cover to move the deer."

"Lugger?" On the wall, Duan Xiushi frowned, he couldn't figure out what the use of a few oars could be, we could burn them with rockets.

On the edge of the walled gate, Xiao Quzhi stood on the saddle and also watched the movement of Da Shi closely. He found that behind the cart, the big cannibal seemed to have unloaded several siege equipment from the large carts behind, as if it were a small catapult.

Xiao Qu got sick and dismounted, jumped on the wall, and came to Duan Xiushi's side: "The big dog has four catapults, and they are ready to attack with fire!" ”

Duan Xiushi knew that catapult fire attack generally uses some fluffy grass balls, poured with anointing oil and other combustion-supporting things, after ignition and launch, because the grass balls are light in weight and have good elasticity, they often bounce all the way and roll all the way, and the ignition effect is very good.

"Go and carry water in a bucket, ready to put out the fire!" Duan Xiushi ordered loudly.

After a few breaths, the four catapults of the Great Eclipse were launched, and four huge fireballs whizzed through the air, three of which landed inside the camp, not grass balls but clay pots, and set one on fire to a tent and one in the outer trench. The Anthy soldiers, who had prepared in advance, did not hurry to pour water on the place where the fire was on fire, and quickly extinguished the fire.

Li Ergou was stunned and said, "That's it? ”

"Of course not." On the wall, Xiao Quzhi looked at the four catapults that were guarded layer by layer, and felt very wrong, the protection was too tight. A few oars in front of it are blocked, and there are two human walls guarding the back, and Posilin personally directs the launch, as for it?

"Die!" And Posilin said fiercely, and four fireballs were fired again, this time all four hit the Anxi camp, one hit a tent, and two smashed next to the crowd. The soldiers of Anxi and Zhaowu who were carrying buckets hurriedly extinguished the fire with water.

However, it doesn't matter if you don't splash it, after splashing the water, the fire not only does not go out, but burns more vigorously, and the light blue flame flows with the water, and the fire becomes several times larger at once. A soldier of the Nine Kingdoms of Zhaowu who was watering and fighting the fire was too close, and the water flowed to his feet, and the flames that became larger in an instant ignited him, and he fell down when he was unsteady on his feet, and instantly turned into a burning man, letting out an inhuman scream.

Such a scene frightened almost everyone in the camp. The Anxi army was okay, and the soldiers of the Nine Kingdoms of Zhaowu, who believed in Zoroastrianism (Zoroastrianism is also known by Zoroastrianism), shouted and prayed for salvation from the god of light in the face of this strange sight.

"Burn, merciless fire from hell, burn these abominable Anthy invaders!" On the other side, Posilin and Ziyad saw from a distance that the Anxi camp was in flames, and they were in a mess, and they all screamed in fright, and both of them jumped up with excitement, as if they were crazy!

"Launch! Launch! Burn them! ”
