Chapter 490: The Lighthouse Shines

Jafar. Sadiq fell into the hands of the Dons!

This astonishing news spread in Isfahan in an instant.

No one knows his name, a famous wise man, a truly great man. The Arabians and Yemenis knew him, and even the Persians, who were not devout enough to Allah, had great respect for the wise man.

Jafar. Sadigh fell into the hands of the Dons, whose camp was ahead, and before the official attack on Isfahan, the Dons were to perform a grand ceremony to execute the great man.

This is the message that the giant arrow carries on it. The news spread like a hurricane throughout the city. Inside and outside the city, everyone was talking about it, waiting for the caliph to react.

The civilians in the city were the most confident in victory, and they had no fear of the Tang people, and after knowing the news, they were immediately excited.

How dare you do this to the great Jafar. Sadigh, this is intolerable for Shia civilians. A number of people gathered outside the governor's palace and demanded that a large army be dispatched immediately to take Jafar. Sadiq was rescued.

And the most angry were Ibrahim's elite troops. These are die-hard Shiite elements, Jafar. Sadigh is of great importance to them. This generous and gentle elder, who was their teacher and their spiritual leader, was now in the hands of the enemy and was suffering, which was the greatest shame for them.

And such a shame can only be washed with the blood of the enemy!

In the governor's palace, Caliph Ibrahim stood on top of a tall tower, his eyes already red.

Jafar in the mountains of Rai. Sadigh actually fell into the hands of the Tang people!

Unlike Abdullah, he was extremely devout in his faith in Allah. Jafar. Sadiq was also his teacher and was extremely important to him.

Knowing that this was a ploy of the Tang people, but looking at the red-eyed generals and ministers around him, Ibrahim knew that he had no choice.

Don't go to the rescue of Jafar. Sadigh, the cornerstone of his caliphate does not exist. No more Jafar. Sadigh's appeal. The army under his command will soon be scattered.

Everyone wants to save Jafar. Sadigh, he had to do it. If he doesn't give the order, his subordinates will abandon him immediately.

Not to mention that for himself, Jafar. Sadigh also has a very different meaning. That great wise man, who was also his teacher, was his spiritual guide.

Don't save Jafar. Sadigh, he himself can't be at ease.

The Tang people's intentions were obvious, that is, they did not want to attack the city of Isfahan and wanted to engage him outside the city. That's why they caught Jafar. Sadigh. Use him as bait to force them to leave the city.

In this way, the biggest advantage in his hands is gone. Without the protection of Isfahan, the siege became a field battle that quickly divided the winner and loser.

This is what the Tang army wants, this is the calculation of the Tang people.

"Caliph! Give the order! ”

"Let's march in and fight the damned Tang people to the death! If you're late, it's too late! ”

"Caliph! I am willing to take my subordinates as the vanguard, the first to storm the camp of the Don army......"

The people around were shouting loudly, and they all looked extremely excited. Ibrahim's gaze swept over the crowd. A sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth.

"The Tang thought that their plan had succeeded and that they had lost the protection of Isfahan. They're going to have a huge advantage......"

"They didn't expect that without the protection of Isfahan City, I would gain something even more valuable!"

"They only know Jafar. Mr. Sadiq is very important to us, but we don't know how important he is to us! ”

"That's what the Tang people do...... It angers all those who are pious to Allah......"

Due to the reputation of the Tang people for being fierce and brutal, the morale of his army was not high, but at this moment, because of Jafar. Sadigh's captured. People's morale is at its peak.

For those who believe in Allah, this is absolutely unacceptable. The importance of this matter is far greater than their life and death.

When people no longer fear life and death, who can stop them?

"That Tang general, he's really stupid......"

Allah must not want his people to suffer too much. chose a quick solution. My prayers must have worked, first with the heavy rain and then with the news......"

"Jafar. Sadigh ...... Teacher, I will definitely save you, and the victory must belong to the Muslims......"

Ibrahim thought silently in his heart, and waved his hand lightly, signaling the generals and ministers to be quiet.

"Everyone, let's leave Isfahan...... Go and save Jafar. Sadiq Bar ......"

"All the warriors, get out of here, and don't leave any ......"

"The people gathered outside the door...... Tell them to take whatever weapons they can find, and go out of the city with us to save Jafar. Sadigh, our great teacher. ”

"If they don't have weapons, give them weapons. Those who are willing to follow us to save people have left Isfahan. We need to show the wicked aliens what stupidity they have done and what price they will pay! ”

“…… That's all, let's get ready......"

The ministers and generals left, and Ibrahim looked into the distance with a fierce glint in his eyes.

He is a scheming person who understands that the Tang Army is the one who has taken Jafar. Sadiq was used as bait, so Jafar. Sadiq is not in danger for the time being. But will Jafar. Sadiq as a decoy would be the most serious mistake the Tang people ever made.

The Tang people are angry with all the people. The anger of hundreds of thousands of people is enough to drown out the enemy from afar.

……

In the city of Isfahan, the knights of the herald rode their horses back and forth. Many of the people who live in this city are Jafar. Enraged by the news that Sadigh was about to be killed, one by one he went to his house to find his weapons and walked out of Isfahan.

The unarmed flocked to the governor's palace and the various barracks in the city, where they were all given a weapon. Then they ran out of the city in droves.

There were many civilians out of the city, both men and women, who came in a huge way to gather in the open space outside the city, and they were all extremely angry.

In the camps outside the city, the Persians who had been driven from the camp were driven out of the barracks. Ibrahim's main force left the city walls and drove out of the city. Isfahan at this time. It has become an undefended city.

Caliph Ibrahim sat on his horse, his heavy sword in his hand, and shouted: "Go!" "Immediately rode his horse and rushed out. More than 30,000 soldiers under his command quickly followed, stepping on the muddy ground and heading forward.

The civilians of Isfahan shouted loudly, and groups followed with their weapons, and the Persians, who had been driven in, followed with their own weapons, urged by a small number of Ibrahim's troops.

The dense crowd, like dense ants, left this huge and beautiful city. Heading into the distance. At this moment, people have forgotten the fatigue of the past few days, and there is endless anger in their hearts.

Even the Persians who were driven here were infected by this anger and had a little war.

Above the tide of people, a Haidongqing flew over the clouds and disappeared.

……

On the flat hill, in the camp of the Tang army.

Jafar. Sadiq sat on a wooden platform with a calm expression. At this moment, he has a bit of the taste of a saint.

His body was tightly bound by chains. But the heart is extremely quiet. He couldn't hear anything in his ears, and he didn't care.

This is the ordeal given by Allah and He is ready to bear it. He didn't know what these Tang people were going to do, and he didn't care.

To live well and to persist in living is the only belief in his heart at this time.

Since he is more important than Isfahan. Since he is the hope of Allah's kingdom and since he is the beacon of all Muslims...... Then no matter how painful and humble it is, he has to continue to live.

The wooden platform is improvised and has wheels underneath that can be propelled by human power. Lu Zhe, the leader of the secret agents, commanded everyone to push the wooden platform together. Pushed the wooden platform out of the camp along the path that had been set aside.

This barracks is huge, and the road left at the camp gate is also extremely wide, enough for a dozen horses to pass side by side. The wooden platform rests here, flanked on both sides by a ditch that is full of muddy rain due to the heavy rain that had rained before.

After doing all this, Lu Zhe returned to the barracks with the spies.

Ma Xuan looked at Mi Xue's latest piece of information, and a smile appeared on his face.

Jafar. Sadigh's light was truly dazzling, and there were so many moths rushing over him that there were more people left in Isfahan than in Isfahan.

That being the case...... Then this battle will be over soon.

This was the place he had chosen for the decisive battle, and without the siege of Isfahan, the battle would have been decided in a very short time.

More than 200,000 enemies...... More than at the time of the Battle of Talas. However, it is not unheard of to kill so many people at one time.

When the northern expedition returned to Fu, by the way, they completely annihilated the Huangjia people, which were also a huge tribe with more than 200,000 Dingkou. Compared with the fierce Mobei barbarians, the Persians and Arabians who grew up in the farming area were much weaker, and how could they be his opponents.

Standing at the top of the camp, squinting at Jafar on the wooden platform. Sadigh, after so many days of attacking the heart, Jafar. Sadiq has seen himself as extremely important and can safely be used as a decoy.

The position of this wise man was less than half the range of the Yuanrong crossbow from the camp gate. He is here like a torch that will draw the enemy forward and rush forward.

And when the enemy shed their blood outside the camp...... This battle will be over.

The new army of Anxi has a strength far beyond the enemy, but Ma Lu is not prepared to let the athletes leave the barracks to confront the enemy head-on. This kind of obscene fighting can minimize the casualties of the Anxi army, and melee hand-to-hand combat is certainly enjoyable, but it is to the death.

Fighting a war naturally kills people, but if you can die a few less, you still have to die a few less. There are not many Han people in the western part of the country, and the life of every Han family is precious, as long as the loss of the Han family can be reduced, he doesn't mind being more obscene.
