Chapter 9: The Battle of Rey

In the city of Rey, the Doge's Palace, it covers an area of several miles and has many houses. These houses are carved and painted, and at a glance you can see that they are the work of skilled craftsmen.

The furnishings in the Governor's Palace are very luxurious, much more luxurious than the Provisional Governor's Palace in Samarkand, and its luxury is shocking, even the imperial palace of the Tang Dynasty is not so luxurious.

These treasures were plundered by the Arab Empire over the years. Muslim used to decorate his governor's palace.

In the past, there was always an atmosphere of joy in the Governor's Palace, because the Arab Empire at that time was invincible, invincible, victorious, and triumphant, which made people rejoice.

But now, it is silent, giving people a heavy sense of oppression, making people dare not go out, and the Arab generals who come in and out are terrified.

Because Abu? The Muslim is on fire, and no one dares to touch his mold.

Abu? Ever since the Muslims abandoned Samarkand and retreated to Khorasan, things have not gone their way. He originally wanted to rush back to Rey as soon as possible, mobilize the army, regroup and fight to the death with the Tang army, even if he couldn't fight, he had to drag the Tang army. As long as the Don army is delayed, he can ask the caliph for help on the one hand, and weaken the Tang army on the other hand. Because the Tang army fought thousands of miles, as long as it could not win, it would weaken the morale of the Tang army, and it might even be aggravated by the lack of adaptation to the water and soil.

To do these things, Abu? Muslims are still very successful. Because there are many Arab emperors in Khorasan [***], there are 200,000 elites. As long as they are mobilized, block the Tang army layer by layer, and delay the movement of the Tang army, it is enough to create huge trouble for the Tang army and make the Tang army pay a high price.

However, what he didn't expect was that Li Changguo was superior in skill and actually blocked the Persian border first, so that he could not return to Khorasan smoothly. He could not return to Khorasan, and naturally he would not be able to mobilize troops quickly.

If that's all there is to it, wouldn't it be enough for Abu? Muslims are angry and blow up their lungs. On his way back to Khorasan, bad news came one after another, and the troops of the Arab Empire stationed in Khorasan were constantly annihilated by the Tang army. These armies are elite, and if they were brought together, this would not happen. What's worse is that the Tang army marched extremely fast, so fast that he didn't have time to react, couldn't mobilize these elites together, and didn't even have time to issue orders.

After the defeat of Qiuzi, Abu? The power in the hands of the Muslim is extremely limited, and with each loss of an army, his strength is weakened by one point, and if this continues, it will not be long before he will not be able to hold on to the Tang army.

What made him even more angry was that when the Persian people heard that the Tang army was coming, they were overjoyed, and they were even happier than seeing their ancestors.

Think of these hateful Persians, seeing that the armies of the Arab Empire are like weasels, always keeping the good things in Tibet, and letting the Arab Empire scrape the ground, they can't find much good. Now, they are willing to give it to Tang Jun to enjoy, what does this mean? It shows that the people of Persia completely fell to the Tang Dynasty.

The offensive of the Don army was unusually ferocious, so that Abu? The Muslims could not resist, and the Persian people's fall to the Tang army was tantamount to adding fuel to the fire, making it even more difficult for him.

"Damn the Don Army! Damn Lee Chang Kook! Damn Persians, I'm so merciful, why didn't I kill you all? "Abu? Muslims rubbed their hands together and cursed loudly.

Abu? Muslims are a man of extraordinary intelligibility, and he has a lot of belly, and it is really difficult for him to scold people, and there are few people who have seen it, but today he has seen it, Abu? Muslims curse like shrews in the streets.

The people listened to it and were shocked in their hearts, and everyone held their breath for fear of angering Abu? Muslims, cause great trouble.

"My lord, I found the Tang Army, the Tang Army is almost to Rey." However, there was something that made him even more angry, and the guards hurried in and shouted loudly.

"Rey?" Although the generals were frightened, they still shouted in surprise, the Tang army came too fast, this marching speed is really rare, even in the history of the Arab Empire.

"Hu ......" Abu? The Muslims really wanted to scold the guards, but they couldn't do it anymore, because the guards came to report worse news.

"Your Excellency, the Tang Army has arrived at the foot of Rey City and is besieging the city." Another guard came in quickly, and shouted from afar, very frightened.

Since the rise of the Arab Empire, it has been fighting in the east and west, invincible, invincible, and invincible, and has not suffered major setbacks, as it has been for a hundred years. However, in this moment, there is such unfavorable news, who can not be afraid? Even the generals can't stop breathing in the cool air.

"Siege? Siege? "Abu? The Muslim's mouth was open for a long time, and finally he muttered, but the sound was extremely subtle, and if it were not for the excellent ear sound of the generals, he really couldn't hear it.

Abu? Muslims have a very loud voice, and they have always spoken loudly and loudly, shaking people's eardrums, and speaking in such a low voice as now is the first time in his life, which shows how hard this incident has hit him.

He couldn't help but be afraid, because he didn't have many troops at hand, but seventy or eighty thousand, although they were all elites, they couldn't compete with hundreds of thousands of Tang troops. Although Rey is strong and a city of soup pools, it is a Che Nu who can't resist the Tang army. With the strength of Talus, it only took half a day to fall in front of the crossbow, how long could Rey resist?

Still, Abu? Muslim is Abu? Muslim, who has the courage that others do not have, and the ability to withstand blows is much stronger than others, much stronger, sighs and forces himself to cheer up, Abu? The eyes of the Muslims shone brightly and they spoke to the generals: "Ladies and gentlemen, we are the great and faithful servants of the world, we are loyal to Allah, and we are determined to give our blood, our lives, our souls, all that we have!" At this existential juncture, it's time for us to renew our vows! We will fight to the end with our swords and Chinese! We will fight under the watchful eye of Allah the Great, and this is our supreme glory! ”

"Fight to the end!" The generals are fanatical religious, Abu? The words of Allah were used by the Muslims to stir their hearts and blood, and they vowed to fight the Tang army to the death.

Reaction to the generals, Abu? The Muslims were satisfied, and led their generals out of the governor's palace and came to the city.

Standing at the head of the city and looking down at the city, I saw that the Tang army was surging like a tide, and soon submerged Rey, and the lonely city of Rey, like a flat boat in the stormy waves.

The Tang army was well-trained, its movements were swift, and the hundreds of thousands of troops were in good order, without the slightest chaos, as if one person was acting. Abu? Muslims saw it in their eyes and secretly admired it, although he hated Tang Jun, he had to admit it.

"Li Changguo, come and answer." Abu? The eyes of Muslims are filled with fire, and old and new hatreds come together.

Before meeting Li Changguo, he was invincible and created an immortal legend, becoming a legendary governor in the history of the Arab Empire, growing from a slave to an Eastern governor under one man and above ten thousand. However, since meeting Li Changguo, his point was betrayed, his good luck was terminated, he was defeated by Qiuzi, and was chased by the Tang army and fled for his life like a dog.

This is for Abu? The Muslims were unbearable, looking at Li Changguo, who commanded the Tang army to besiege the city, his anger soared to three thousand feet, and he wanted to tear Li Changguo apart, ready to fight with Li Changguo, and vent his anger.

His idea is very good, but Li Changguo did not fulfill him, and Li Changguo did not have a relationship with Abu at all? The Muslims did not come at all because they were going to fight before the war.

In ancient wars, it was a common practice to answer on the battlefield, fight through mouths, and suppress the limelight of the opponent. Not to mention, this is a high-powered Abu? The Muslims personally called for battle, and Li Changguo should have come to answer, but Li Changguo just ignored it, why is this?

Although Abu? Muslims are very intelligent, but they don't understand. However, soon there was an answer, and I saw that Li Changguo began to lecture before the war.

Li Changguo made a move, and a team of Tang soldiers carrying more than a dozen coffins appeared under the city, which made everyone in the city and under the city very puzzled. How can there be a coffin in a war?

"Brethren, do you know what this is?" Li Changguo pointed to the coffin and asked loudly.

Where did Tang Jun know about this question, naturally he didn't know about it.

"This is the bones of our ancestors." Lee Chang Kwok gave the answer.

But it made the Tang army soldiers inexplicable, how did the bones of the ancestors of the Tang Army appear here?

"During the reign of the Holy Queen, our ancestors set out from the Western Regions and marched towards Persia. They fought thousands of miles, fought thousands of miles, and came to the outskirts of Rey. Li Changguo's voice was higher, and his voice contained infinite grief and indignation: "They are sleepy and lacking, they have no reinforcements, they have no baggage, they have been besieged and killed by big dogs, they fought to the death, and all of them were martyred." ”

Tang Jun's eyes were full of grief and indignation.

"I see." Abu? Muslims finally understood why Li Changguo was reluctant to answer him, it turned out that Li Changguo was angry and wanted to attack him, he secretly said: "It's not good! ”

The Tang army was annihilated in the suburbs of Rey, which is known to the top of the Arab Empire, Abu? The Muslims were well aware of the horror of that war, and if Li Changguo used it to boost the morale of the army, it would be a disaster for the Arab Empire.

Sure enough, I only heard Li Changguo say with great grief and indignation: "The big food is vicious and abnormal, they don't let the ancestors have a moment of peace under the nine springs, they want to break the bones and scatter ashes." These bones were rescued by the Persian people at great risk, and all the rest were burned by the hateful and hateful dogs. ”

"Kill all the big dogs!" The Tang army was enraged and erupted in an earth-shattering roar.

Abu? Hearing this roar, the Muslim was dizzy, and of course he knew with the eyes of a great connoisseur that the Tang army was completely enraged, and what would be a massacre would follow.

"Today, we want to avenge our ancestors!" Li Changguo's right arm was raised high and swung down like thunder and lightning.

"Revenge!" Tang Jun's eyes were about to erupt with fire, and his roar became even louder.

"Leave no mouth alive!" Li Changguo was angry and wanted to use the blood of the Arab Empire to pay tribute to the spirit of the Tang Army in heaven.

"Leave no mouth alive!" The hatred of the soldiers was full of hatred, and the roar shook the sky.
