Chapter 9: Victory in the First Battle

At the exit of the Silk Road, there was a barracks, surrounded by a fence several miles long, and hundreds of tents in the middle.

This is the camp of the Great Food Army, the army sent by Ziad to guard the Silk Road. Their task was to guard against the Tang army and not allow the Tang army to enter the Western Regions.

There were 3,000 troops in the camp, and it was appropriate to defend the place. After all, the export of the Silk Road was only so large, and three thousand troops were enough.

The Great Food Army is roasting mutton around the fire, and the smell of meat is bursting, tempting to drool.

"Wow!" The big food soldier tasted the fragrant tea, and enjoyed it very much, with a happy face.

"This tea is so fragrant! It's delicious! The Great Eater exclaimed.

Tea has always been an important commodity on the Silk Road and is very popular with the West. In ancient times, China was the main source of tea drunk in the West, accounting for the vast majority, not to mention the percent, but at least 80%. Therefore, Chinese tea has long enjoyed a great reputation in the West, and everyone knows that tea is the main commodity of China.

It's a pity that Chinese tea is too expensive, and only nobles can taste it, how can ordinary soldiers have this kind of blessing. Don't say that tasting tea, being able to smell some tea is a blessing that has accumulated for several lifetimes.

Since entering the Western Regions, this situation has changed, and the Great Food Army has captured a lot of tea, and the Great Food soldiers have a good mouth, and they take pleasure in tasting it. As soon as he was free, the big food soldiers would make a cup of tea and taste it beautifully.

Although they don't know the tea ceremony and don't know what tea tasting is, most of them are cow drinks, which is enough to satisfy these soldiers who regard tea as a luxury.

"China is really a good place, not only has a lot of tea, but also a lot of condiments. With these condiments, our barbecue is fragrant, don't say to eat, just smell the aroma, my saliva will flow a foot long. The Great Eater Soldier admired the lamb on the grill, and saliva flowed down the corners of his mouth.

"You are to die. You're trying to seduce me, aren't you? When the great food soldier on the edge of the fire heard this, he couldn't help but feel a little light, who called this fragrance too strong?

The Arab Empire was originally developed by nomadic peoples, and their civilization and culture were still in the embryonic period, where can they be compared with China. China's tea, silk, and spices are famous, and they have heard about them countless times, where can they think of it, and when they arrive in the Western Regions, they know that there are too many good things in China. Not to mention anything else, there are a lot of condiments, add some condiments when you barbecue, and the taste of this barbecue is very different, fragrant, and gluttonous.

In this way, the Great Food Soldier will be full, not only fragrant tea to drink, but also delicious barbecue to eat, for the Great Food Soldier, it is like living in heaven.

"That's how my happiness is, I am satisfied with fragrant tea and delicious barbecue." Many soldiers were very satisfied.

"Look at your virtue, this is satisfied?" The corners of the officer's mouth cracked disdainfully, and said, "I didn't tell you that we haven't entered China yet." What we eat and drink now is not needed by the Chinese and comes out of their mouths. The real China, which is a golden country, is full of gold, fine wine and food are everywhere, beautiful silk can not be worn, and there are countless beautiful beauties with fine skin and tender meat. ”

"El Dorado!" The Great Eater soldiers burst into laughter, their eyes full of admiration.

The El Dorado, which has always enjoyed great fame in the West, is the main reason why Western adventurers come to the East. For this reason, many Westerners have embarked on an adventurous journey to China to make a fortune.

Alexander the Great's crusade was to reach China and find the legendary Golden Country. But because his teacher Van Aristotle gave him the wrong map, he typed in the wrong direction and went to India.

After Alexander the Great, many people always wanted to fight to China, and the Arab Empire was one of them.

The advent of the Age of Discovery in modern times was to find a sea passage to China, because the rise of the Ottoman Empire blocked the "Silk Road", and it was difficult for the West to reach Europe with tea, silk and spices from China.

"You know what? What are the ways in which Chinese cook? The officer shook his head, very smug.

"How?" Where did the Great Food Soldiers answer this question, their curiosity was aroused, and their eyes widened and stared at the officer.

"Frying, frying, exploding, stir-frying, slipping, steaming, boiling, ......" The officer's face was proud, and he crossed his fingers and counted them carefully for the big food soldiers: "I have heard of more than 20 kinds. ”

"More than twenty?" The Great Eater's eyes almost fell out: "We'll only bake it." ”

The life of a big cannibal is very simple, mainly roasting, as for other eating habits, there are not many. Of course, modern Middle Easterners have a much more way of eating, and there has been a lot of progress and development compared to the Arab Empire.

"If you want to eat well, drink well, sleep well, and have a good time, you still have to go into China." The officer took the opportunity to boost morale and said, "As long as you enter China, you can have whatever you want." You just want to drop a big piece of gold from the sky, I congratulate you, your dream has come true! A big piece of gold will fall from the sky! If you want beauty, there are a lot of beautiful women with fine skin and tender meat for you to choose. If you want delicious food, you have a skilled chef to cook it for you. You want ......"

The more the officer spoke, the more excited he became, his face flushed with red light, and his saliva splashed, as if these dreams had come true.

The soldiers listened to it in their ears, rejoiced in their hearts, and dreamed of it, eager to immediately pass through the Silk Road, enter China, occupy China, and enjoy it.

"The Chinese are coming!"

"The Chinese called!"

Suddenly, a scream rang out, one after another.

"What? China is coming? That's great! Finally you can kill the Chinese. ”

"Killed the Chinese and robbed him of tea, silk, spices."

"Haha! Finally there is China to kill! ”

When the Great Eater heard this, he burst into laughter, and his eyes shone like hunters who had seen their prey.

Isn't the Great Food Crusade about killing the Chinese and enslaving the Chinese? The favorite thing of the Great Food Soldier is this, and when he heard that the Chinese were coming, it was great news for them, and he was not excited.

"Put on the armor! Shoulder the scimitar! Bow and arrow on your back! Prepare to beat the Chinese! The officers yelled and cheered for the soldiers.

"Kill all the Chinese!" The soldiers burst into an earth-shattering roar, dressed in armor, shouldering scimitars, and carrying bows and arrows, and rushed out of the barracks like the wind, ready to line up.

For the Great Food Soldiers, they really didn't take the Tang Army seriously, because since the Eastern Crusade, although the Great Food Army was killed by Gao Xianzhi tens of thousands of people, but it didn't hurt the Great Food Army, and they had long forgotten about it.

Moreover, since entering the Western Regions, they have beaten the Tang army to the point of "falling into the water", and they did not dare to leave the city in the four towns of Anxi, so they could only rely on the strong city to defend it.

This was a supreme glory for the Great Food Army, and they soon forgot all about the Tang Army's hard lesson to them before.

Now, when they heard that the [***] team was coming, they all said in a disdainful tone: "The Chinese who sent them to death are here!" ”

In spite of this, the Great Food Army still embodies a good military quality, the array is very fast, only a moment of effort, a powerful military array is formed, horizontal rows, vertical columns, very heavy, like mountains, giving people an unshakable feeling.

It is worthy of being a famous elite at that time, and dozens of powerful soldiers who destroyed the country!

"Rumble!"

In the earth-shattering sound of hooves, a dark cloud quickly drifted in, and I saw a group of cavalry rushing towards the Great Food Army Array.

This team of cavalry horses is tall and majestic, riding on a war horse, like a moving iron tower.

The cavalry was dressed in bright light armor, carrying a hard bow and arrows, and hanging a horizontal sword at his waist, rushing in the wind.

The bright light armor shone in the sun, like a huge mirror, a dazzling brilliance, which stimulated the eyes of the great food soldiers.

"Which Tang army is this? Such equipment, such horsemanship, such skill. ”

The Great Food Soldiers have experienced a hundred battles and are all elites, and with their expert eyes, they can see at a glance that this rushing Tang Army is extraordinary and has extraordinary combat power.

"How's that? What can I do? "The Great Food Soldier is very confident, even if this Tang army is successful, it is not their opponent.

The most incomprehensible thing for the Great Food Army was that this Tang Army rushed to the front and did not impact the formation of the Great Food Army, but split into two and bypassed from the left and right flanks.

"What are they going to do? Do you want to outflank us? ”

"The general of the Tang Army is really a pig, doesn't he know that the rear way of outflanking the enemy is to be carried out when the enemy is about to be defeated? Only then can the outflanking be carried out in order to prevent the enemy from escaping and obtain the maximum results. He didn't think Allah's servants would fight, even though there was no war yet? ”

Tang Jun's behavior was very abnormal, and it would be impossible for them not to think about it.

"Mo Dao! Mo knife! ”

However, the next moment, the Great Food Army screamed, and saw a team of Mo knife hands, no less than a thousand people, wearing Mingguang armor, the whole person was wrapped in steel, lined up in a neat formation, holding a Mo knife, as if Mount Tai pressed up.

For the Tang Army's Mo Dao battle array, the Great Food Army is no stranger to it, and knows its power very well.

Don't want the Mo Dao battle array composed of thousands of Mo knife hands, it is the Mo Dao battle array composed of hundreds of people, like a meat grinder, unstoppable, the big food soldier realized that something was wrong.

Soon, their prediction became a reality, only to see the Mo knife hand rushing up, the Mo knife in his hand raised high, and slashed down fiercely, ruthlessly reaping the surname of the Great Food Soldier.

Although the Great Food Army Formation was very thick and difficult to shake, however, in front of the invincible Mo Dao Battle Array, it was just a piece of paper, and it was crushed with one blow, and it couldn't stop the Mo Dao Hand's slashing at all.

"Withdraw! Remove! Withdraw to camp! Seeing that the situation was not good, the general of the Great Food was busy directing the retreat of the Great Food army.

However, it was too late, and the Tang cavalry, who rushed behind them, brandished horizontal swords and killed from behind, cutting off their retreat.

It was the Longwu Army, the most elite army of the Tang Dynasty, who fought this battle, and under their charge, the Great Food Army had no resistance at all, and was soon chopped to pieces by the Tang Army.
