Qiuzi, the high city walls have turned black and brown, the corpses piled up under the city are thick, and there is a huge lake of blood, shining in the light of the day, indescribably bewitching.

Ever since the Great Eclipse surrounded the turtles, they have launched an attack. Abu? The Muslims originally thought that with his superiority in strength, he launched a series of attacks, and dragged the Tang army down. However, what he didn't expect was that it was the Great Food Army that was dragged down first, not the Tang Army. In the nearly month-long attack, the Great Food Army did not stop at all, and it looked like it would not stop until it was defeated. As a result, the city of Qiuzi was still not breached, but the army was exhausted.

As a last resort, Abu? The Muslims had to give the order to stop the attack, and Qiuzi was finally able to breathe.

After a short break, Abu? At the request of the Muslims, the Great Food Army launched another attack on Qiuzi. This time, the Great Food Army is no longer attacking in turns, but attacking from time to time.

The war has come to this point, Abu? The Muslims already knew very well that it would not be possible to break through the Kuzi in a short period of time, and that they could only adopt the strategy of besieging it for a long time.

The Great Food's Eastern Crusade was extraordinary, and all the rest of the Western Regions fell into the hands of the Great Food, except for the four towns of Anxi. However, Abu? Instead of rejoicing, the Muslims became even more angry.

Because, the most valuable target in the Western Regions is the four towns of Anxi, as for the rest of the places, most of them are wilderness, barren land, it is difficult to see people, even if the big food is all occupied, it is not beneficial to the overall situation.

But the most valuable four towns of Anxi, the Tang army defended like an iron bucket, no matter how Da Shi attacked, he couldn't beat it down, Abu? The Muslims, despite their resourcefulness, are helpless in the face of such a fortified city.

Therefore, the results of Da Shi's Eastern Crusade seem to be good, capturing thousands of miles, but in fact, the results are not much.

In addition to this, there is Jean Abu? The more troublesome thing for Muslims is that Feng Changqing is causing a harassment in his rear, attacking his transport lines and attacking his baggage team.

After being initially attacked by Feng Changqing, Abu? The Muslims changed their tactics and sent heavy troops to guard the baggage caravan. However, what he didn't expect was that Feng Changqing's team grew much faster than he imagined, although he sent a lot of heavy troops, but it was far less rapid than Feng Changqing's growth, and his baggage team was still killed by Feng Changqing.

At first, Feng Changqing could only take out his baggage team, and he was helpless against his army. This situation did not last long, Feng Changqing not only killed his baggage team, but also attacked his army, often causing his army to be defeated and lost.

At this point, Abu? The Muslims realized that Feng Changqing's team was growing much faster than he imagined, and he realized the seriousness of the matter, but it was too late, and he sent an army to clear Feng Changqing, but either he couldn't find it, or he was caught off guard by Feng Changqing, and he was often caught off guard, often with heavy casualties.

This can't be blamed on Changqing, but can only be blamed on Abu? There are simply too many enemies of the Muslims. In particular, he violently promoted Islamization, oppressed other ethnic groups to convert to Islam, and created too many enemies for no reason.

The problem is that if he doesn't do this, he won't be an Islamist, he won't be a big eater, he knows that he will make enemies, but he has to do it, because this is the foundation of the big food country.

After some thought, Abu? The Muslims decided to surround the four towns of Anxi, and then send troops to the land of Hehuang, copy the back road of the Tang army in Tibet, and then point to Chang'an to force the Tang Dynasty to submit. However, before he could act, he received news that Wang Zhongji had been reinstated, and led a heavy army to guard the land of Hehuang, blocking his way eastward.

For Wang Zhonghei, Abu? The Muslim is all too familiar, that is his old adversary. In the first year of Tianbao, Da Shi and Tubo formed an alliance to attack Xiao Bolu, wasn't it defeated by Wang Zhonghe?

To this formidable opponent, Abu? Muslims are helpless. It is no longer possible to advance eastward, so we can only solve the four towns of Anxi first, remove the threat behind them, and then concentrate our forces to attack the land of Hehuang. The Tang Dynasty and Tubo fought a war, and it was impossible to distinguish the winner without a year and a half, and he still had a chance.

His calculation was very good, but he soon received a piece of news that made him crazy: Tubo was destroyed by the Tang Dynasty.

"It can't be! No way! No way! "Abu? The Muslims jumped to their feet in his tent and shouted, and the sound was like thunder, which shook the eardrums.

The generals lowered their heads, and they didn't dare to come out, muttering secretly: "This news has been confirmed a long time ago, and you still don't believe it, this is self-deception." ”

When the news of the destruction of Tibet first came, everyone did not believe it, and they insisted that Tibet was a big country, and it could be destroyed if it was destroyed. Even if the Tang Dynasty was strong and the Tang army had amazing combat power, it was impossible to destroy it in a short time. Even if the Tang army surrounded Luo, it would not have been possible to succeed in a year and a half.

However, the same news came one after another, the situation of the destruction of Tibet was cleared up little by little, all the fog dissipated, and although the generals were shocked, they had to believe it.

Only Abu? The Muslims insisted that it was impossible, that it was impossible for Tibet to be wiped out in such a short period of time.

Not Abu? The Muslim is stubborn, not because he is not smart enough, but because the news is disastrous for him.

Tubo was destroyed by the Tang Dynasty, and the hundreds of thousands of troops of the Tang Dynasty on an expedition to Tubo were about to return to the division. Where will the Tang Dynasty invest this army? This doesn't need to be thought about, it must be invested in the Western Regions.

Abu? Although the Muslims have the upper hand in the Western Regions at the moment, they do not have many great results, if the hundreds of thousands of troops of the Tang army suddenly kill, all his plans will come to naught, all his efforts can only be put into flow, and his planned crusade will not only be impossible to succeed, but will be defeated and lost.

The Eastern Crusade and entering China is the dream of Da Shi for dozens or hundreds of years, and it is not easy to have such an opportunity, if he loses it, can he be willing?

Abu? Muslims would rather believe that Allah is dead than that it is true, and that it will not work out if he does not jump to his feet.

"Whew!" Abu? Muslims gasp like bellows, their chests heaving and heaving, forming a wave.

Finally, Abu? Only then did the Muslims regain their composure, rolled their eyes, and ordered loudly: "Order, keep attacking the city day and night, take turns to attack the city, and never stop until you take down the four towns of Anxi!" ”

He knew very well that he must take advantage of the Tang Army's westward march to lay down the four towns of Anxi and pull out these four nails, so that he could deal with the Tang Dynasty. Otherwise, before the four towns of Anxi were down, the Tang Dynasty army came, and he was attacked by the enemy on his back and could not concentrate his forces to fight to the death with the Tang army. If you can defeat Xizhen before the Tang army advances westward, you can still fight with the Tang Dynasty, and the number of wins and losses is unpredictable.

He's been cornered and has to do it.

In the city of Qiuzi, Anxi is the protectorate.

Gao Xianzhi and the others gathered together to discuss the matter.

"The Great Food Army is really capable of fighting, this is the strongest opponent we have ever encountered, it's really good." Some generals sighed loudly and said, "Although I hate Da Shi very much, I can't wait for Abu? The Muslim died instantly, but he had to admit that he was really good, and the army under his command was really too good to fight. ”

Although the Anxi Metropolitan Protectorate has dealt with the Great Food Army a lot, it has defeated the Great Food Army several times. This battle still made the generals sigh with emotion, the Great Food Army was very elite, able to fight well, well-equipped, well-trained, strict military discipline, and was even more fearless of death under the stimulation of religious fanaticism.

"yes." This is the consensus, and the generals will echo it in unison.

"Although the Great Food Army is very capable of fighting, it is helpless to take us, and Qiuzi City is still immovable." Another general shouted: "Since Da Shi surrounded Qiuzi and launched attacks on us in turn, until now, Da Shi has suffered heavy casualties, but he can't help us." ”

"That's right. If our troops were sufficient, we would have beaten the Great Eclipse to the ground long ago. ”

Gao Xianzhi sat upright, frowning, not saying a word, worried, and the generals discovered the abnormality.

"Dugo, why are you worried?" A general asked cautiously.

"Isn't it Abu? Muslims, but the worries of Tibet. Gao Xianzhi glanced at the generals.

"Duhu, what do you say?" The generals were puzzled.

"We are looking forward to the imperial court sending a large army to the Western Regions to relieve our siege. If the imperial court wants to send reinforcements, it must first solve the problem of Tibet, if there is any movement in Tibet, Abu? Muslims will have trouble. At the moment, although Da Shi is attacking, it is not effective, which is enough to show that there is no movement on the Tibetan side. Gao Xianzhi's brows tightened, and he said, "The more this is the case, the more distant the reinforcements we are looking forward to. ”

Since Qiuzi was besieged, Gao Xianzhi has cut off all contact with the outside world, and the only one who can let him get the news is Abu? The actions of the Muslims.

The failure of the big food attack shows that Tubo is calm and calm, and it is even possible to develop in the bad direction, and it is impossible for Gao Xianzhi not to worry.

The generals were silent for a while.

"Yudu Protection, Da Shi has attacked, and he has attacked." At this moment, a personal guard walked in quickly and reported loudly to Gao Xianzhi, worried: "There are more troops dispatched by Da Shi than ever before. ”

"Ahh The crowd was shocked.

It is bound to be a bad thing for Dashi to make such a big move, and it will not be possible if the people are not surprised.

"Really? Walk! Gao Xianzhi jumped up and took the lead.

Soon ascended to the top of the city, only to see the Great Food Army surging like a sea tide, black and pressing, unable to see the end, look at this posture, do not stop until the turtle is captured.

"Phew!" The generals couldn't stop snorting, and they were terrified.

"Haha!" Gao Xianzhi suddenly raised his head to the sky, and burst out into a burst of shocking laughter, extremely happy, full of red light, as if he had won a big battle.

"Dugo, what's wrong with you? Isn't it crazy? The generals looked puzzled.

"I'm telling you, it's a good thing, a great thing." Gao Xianzhi's right hand waved down heavily, as if thunder and lightning: "The battle of Tubo must have made significant progress, and it is even possible that Tubo has been destroyed, otherwise, Abu?" The Muslims would never have attacked on such a large scale. Look at this formation, it is more fierce than ever, he is a dog jumping off the wall, and he has to make a desperate bet. ”

The generals took a look, and sure enough. Although he was still shocked, out of trust in Gao Xianzhi, he stopped talking.

"Brothers: The Tang Dynasty has destroyed Tibet, and our reinforcements are coming, and we must hold on." Gao Xianzhi didn't know how far the war in Tubo had progressed, and in order to boost the morale of the army, he lied that the Tang Dynasty had destroyed Tubo, and he was actually fighting crookedly.

"Hold on!" The Tang army was overjoyed, their morale was high, and they erupted into a shocking roar, which was murderous.
