In the early morning, south of the city of Talas, east of the Talas River, and the camp of Anxi, it was a busy scene at the moment.

2,000 Anxi cavalry and 1,000 Ningyuan cavalry patrolled around the battlefield; 3,000 Anxi infantry were on standby; A thousand men dug in front of the battle, ready to fill in the moat. Siege equipment has been installed. After the construction is completed, just wait for Gao Xianzhi's order, and you can attack the city.

Since Gao Xianzhi commanded 12,000 elite Anxi troops to defeat 15,000 Khorasan cavalry under the city of Talas yesterday morning, the dominance of the entire battlefield has been firmly controlled by the Anxi army.

More than 10,000 Anxi troops immediately blocked the four gates of Talas City almost without pause, and when the follow-up army arrived in the afternoon, 28,000 Anxi, Qarluq, Ningyuan allied troops and 2,000 accompanying soldiers and civilians began to set up two large camps directly south and northeast of Talas City as if no one was around. Later, in front of the enemy, he began to assemble and build siege equipment under the city of Talas.

And the nearly 10,000 soldiers of the Stone Kingdom in the city of Talas, the more than 10,000 soldiers of the Nine Kingdoms of Zhaowu who fled here, and the only remaining 500 Khorasan religious warriors could only watch, not daring to let go of even a single arrow.

That battle almost terrified Said bin Humet. It was only then that the black-clad general, a Persian farmer, understood the true meaning of the warrant from his childhood friend and immediate boss, Poselin.

It seems that he also suffered a great loss at the hands of the Anxi army, so he sternly warned himself to guard the city. But he was mistaken at that time, thinking that he was biased towards Ziyad and wanted Qiyad to rush to fight for merit.

However, it is no wonder that in the four years since Posilin raised his army, the situation in the court was turbulent at the end of the Great Eclipse in White, and several caliphs seemed to have to change constantly, and the new caliph was not in the right position, forcibly moved the capital, and caused chaos in the world. The backbone of the white coat and the core military force of Syria no longer supported the caliphate, but continued to rebel, and the foundation of imperial rule collapsed. And in Khorasan, a chaotic Romance of the Three Kingdoms was staged.

As a result, the other two factions of the Khorasan Triumvirate fought and lost both, and let him and Posilin take advantage of it. Later, the Khorasan religious warriors, which consisted mainly of farmers who had just laid down their hoes, picked up wallets all the way to Syria.

In fact, there were almost no real tough battles, and the most important city, Kufa, was won by the Abbasid underground party in a local popular uprising. This young army, in fact, was just lucky, and the white-clothed food died by themselves, allowing them to pick up the cheap.

But these Khorasan warriors did not think so, they considered themselves invincible under the favor of Hu, and no enemy would be their opponent. That's why Sayyid bin Humed was so light on the enemy, and the 5,000 Khorasan cavalry were full of self-confidence and crashed headlong into the range of Anxi's elite strong bows and crossbows and Mo swords, and almost all of them were wiped out.

Of course, it is not objective to say that they have no combat effectiveness at all, but this is indeed an army full of vigor and brave and good at fighting. Just as the sudden rise of many peoples in history, such as the rise of Mongolia, of course, there were external reasons, the East and the West were going downhill at that time, etc., but it is undeniable that at that node, they suddenly emerged a group of geniuses, such as the Four Masters of Life and the Four Dogs. Coupled with the high fighting spirit and vigor of the whole group at the beginning of its rise, and the spirit of daring to fight to the death, these Khorasan religious battles were all possessed, although they did not fight very hard battles.

And Posilin is one of the most dazzling of the talents that have emerged from the Khorasan group. It was his wit, affinity, and charisma that made many Khorasan farmers lay down their hoes and come to refuge; It was also he who made many Persian farmers who originally believed in Zoroastrianism convert to Huda and became fanatical religious warriors; Or when he was fighting for hegemony in Khorasan, he chose to show weakness in defense and wrote letters to the other two parties to express his goodwill, until he waited for the best time to succeed in one blow; In another time and space, Ziyad led an army of more than 100,000 to fight with the 30,000 troops of the Anxi army for five days, and more than 70,000 were killed, and the casualties of the Anxi army were minimal, and he also sent someone to secretly contact Qarlu to promise heavy benefits, so that he could fight back, resulting in the defeat of the Anxi army in the Battle of Talas, and almost all the army was annihilated.

After the morning fiasco, these Khorasan religious warriors finally let go of their arrogance and knocked back to their original form this group of nouveau riche from Khorasan serfs who had just put down their hoes. In the afternoon, the 30,000 cavalry surnamed Huang Tushi who had arrived from Broken Leaf finally arrived.

The arrival of 30,000 Huang Tuqi reinforcements boosted the low morale in Talas City a lot. So they decided to take advantage of the fact that the Anxi army was not firmly on the ground, and was busy setting up camp and building siege equipment, and went out of the city to attack the Anxi army with 30,000 cavalry surnamed Huang inside and outside.

But he didn't expect Gao Xianzhi to be unflustered, and after getting the news of the scout, he immediately made proper arrangements, 10,000 Anxi infantry troops and 6,000 Ningyuan troops held the four gates of Talas City, and 7,000 Anxi cavalry and 5,000 Gelulu archers faced 30,000 Huang Tucai cavalry.

Although in the end, the cavalry surnamed Huang Tucai Shi rushed into Talas City, but after the first battle, there were more than 5,000 enemy corpses under Talas City, and on the side of the Anxi army, less than 300 were killed and 400 were wounded. This is also the result of Gao Xianzhi's deliberate release of water, because Gao Xianzhi is well aware of the advantages of the cavalry of the Turian Cavalry, and he has to guard against the harassment of the other party at all times when he puts it outside; And once they entered the city, the crossbowmen and Mo sword soldiers of the Anxi army would be divided into four gates, and the mobility advantage of the opposing cavalry would be lost.

After two battles, although the city of Talas was supported, its morale was even lower. The Anxi army is very arrogant to provoke under the city, build equipment, and only wait for tomorrow to arrive, and they will start attacking the city. Although Talas is an important town in the stone country and its geographical location is also very important, after all, the city defense is not too strong, and the terrain is not significant.

They knew that the Tang army was extremely good at attacking cities. Four years ago, the Anxi army broke through Lianyunbao, which was built on a high mountain and the terrain was extremely steep; Three years ago, the Beiting Army broke through the Broken Leaf City, where the Huang Tuqi Shi was entrenched. The Anxi army can even break through the natural dangers that are easy to defend and difficult to attack like Lianyunbao, not to mention the Talas City built on flat ground. Thinking of this, the more than 40,000 troops in the city were a little weak.

Now, their only hope was that the reinforcements sent by the Posirin would arrive before the Ansey army broke through the city. At this moment, the king of Shi Guozheng was standing on the watchtower in the southeast corner of Talas City, looking into the southeast direction, looking through it.

He didn't wait for reinforcements from Da Shi, but when Gao Xianzhi was about to give the order to attack the city, he saw a team of Anxi scouts, escorting a bloodied warrior to the Anxi camp in a hurry. So much so that after hearing the scout's report, Gao Xianzhi immediately put aside the current battle and personally led almost all the senior generals in the camp to meet him.

The warrior covered in blood was lying on a red horse, looking like he was holding on to a breath, and after seeing Gao Xianzhi, he raised his head slightly, and without saying a few words, he fainted.

It looks like a Tang Horse who delivers emergency military information, but the strange thing is how he came here from this road through tens of thousands of food troops?

What's even more strange is that when Gao Xianzhi saw him fainting, he was quite panicked and shouted like crazy, and then the entire Anxi army camp was in chaos, and even the siege of the city was delayed for several hours.

That's weird! Who is this person? Is it injury or death now? And what kind of military intelligence did it bring? Teller had a big head for a while.
