The Zoroastrians, who witnessed the destruction of their relics and the death of the saint in Damascus, made a final revolt, but they were soon brutally suppressed by the army, but the flames of revolt were ignited.

Before she died, she issued a cry of protest, and it instantly spread to all the land of the Illuminati, and the Nasebo Cultists rioted, and there was a huge uprising of the Monks in Bukhara, hundreds of thousands of Pilgrims gathered in front of the Samarkand Temple to pray for the Holy Daughter of Kulan, and then this prayer was turned into a great uprising by the angry Christians, who killed the Great Food Defenders, robbed the army of food, and burned military supplies.

The wave of revolt swept through the nine Sogdian states in the river, and at this time, an uprising also broke out in Spain, and the last royal family of the Umayyads, Rahman, re-raised the banner of the Umayyad dynasty in Spain, and the eastern and western parts of the Abbasid dynasty were burning with fire at the same time, and his army was in a fierce battle with the Tang Dynasty, which made the Abbasas very anxious, and what he feared most finally happened, his dynasty's civil war was not over, but it was caught in the dilemma of fighting on two fronts.

Just as the Sogdian uprising in the river was raging, the battle of Talas was also at the time of the decisive battle.

．．．．．．．． Five hundred chariots of the Tang army suddenly appeared, and Abu. The Muslim was taken aback, and an ominous shadow hung over his heart.

The Tang army's chariots were like thunder, extremely fast, and in a moment they rushed to the left flank of the infantry phalanx, and two thousand large cavalry were lined up in a line, protecting the weak parts of the phalanx.

The chariots were lined up with their backs to the infantry phalanx, and the top and back plates were lifted to reveal the true face of the chariot, which contained six soldiers, two giant shield bearers, and behind the giant shield was a small trebuchet, which had short arms and could be fired by a winch to shoot five pounds of stones four hundred paces away.

At the moment when the inside of the chariot was exposed, the attack of the Tang army suddenly broke out, hundreds of black packages rose into the air, and green smoke rose from the bags, flying straight towards the heads of the two thousand cavalry, the big cavalry all looked up and looked at these packages strangely, they were obviously not stones, what could it be?

But the Great Food Army never thought about what kind of demon they were facing, and this demon had been locked in the alchemy room by the Fang Shi until the arrival of Li Qing'an, a traverser, released it.

When hundreds of packages with green smoke fell into the dense cavalry team, only for a moment, I saw a blazing light burst out in the cavalry team, a series of earth-shattering explosions, a large number of cavalry were blown away, broken bones, flesh and stumps scattered in all directions, large black smoke rose into the air, the originally dense cavalry disappeared in the air, corpses were everywhere, the dense infantry team was also blown up a big gap, hundreds of dead and wounded, the whole battlefield was stunned, only the war horses were frightened and neighed, dragging the dead cavalry soul to run, The long mane fluttered in the smoke of gunpowder, like a ghost horse from hell.

Abu. The Muslim's eyes widened, and he couldn't help but cover his head with his hands and shout: "O Allah! ”

Hundreds of gunpowder packs killed more than 900 cavalry on the spot, and more were wounded, lying on the ground groaning in pain, and the remaining 300 or so cavalrymen who were not injured were also frightened, and did not care about guarding the flanks of the infantry, desperately whipping the equally frightened war horses and rushing towards the position.

At this time, the flank of the Macedonian phalanx was exposed, and the general in charge of attacking the flank, Lei Wanchun, roared angrily: "Follow me to kill!" ”

He swung his sledgehammer and slashed at the flanks of the infantry phalanx, "Kill!" The three thousand Tang cavalry behind him erupted into a roar like a landslide, and swept towards the weakest flank of the phalanx like thunder.

At this moment, the five hundred chariots disappeared without a sound, and after unleashing a nightmare that terrified the cannibals, they retreated as if nothing had happened.

But Abu. The eyes of the Muslims were fixed on this mysterious convoy, and the devastating force they unleashed was terrifying to him. His giant fireball paled in comparison.

"Muslim general, the infantry phalanx has collapsed!" Someone shouted loudly.

"What?"

Muslims suddenly turned their heads and looked at the infantry phalanx, only to see that the originally dense infantry phalanx had turned into a plate of loose sand, and the Tang cavalry rushed into the phalanx from the flank, which was the death hole of the infantry phalanx, and the originally mighty army immediately became sheep to be slaughtered, and under the ferocious killing of the Tang army, they died tragically one by one.

Lei Wanchun's fierce force erupted, he wielded a sledgehammer and rampaged through the infantry formation, and under his sledgehammer, the big food soldiers all burst their brains and broke their bones and tendons.

And the three thousand Tang troops behind him, with a hundred people, crisscrossed and crisscrossed, swords and arrows, spears pierced the chest, they divided the heavy infantry, mercilessly slaughtered the already chaotic enemy, the horizontal knives were stained with blood, the impact on the flank of the Tang cavalry, the well-organized Macedonian phalanx collapsed, they scattered and fled, and the morale of the army was lost.

The Muslim closed his eyes in pain, he suddenly thought of something, and looked at the Sogdian cavalry, where the battle was also fierce, 40,000 Sogdian cavalry and more than 18,000 Tang cavalry were mixed together, although the Sogdian cavalry was more than twice as large as the other side, they were still killed and retreated, not because the equipment was inferior to the other side, but because the Sogdian cavalry was demoralized and had no intention of fighting.

"Bombard the opponent's center with a trebuchet!"

The Muslims shouted loudly, the appearance of the mysterious weapon of the Tang army had dealt a heavy blow to the morale of the Great Eater, and now that he had to recapture the warplane, then his Greek fire might be able to turn him around.

A hundred trebuchets with huge bodies continued to rumble forward, and the entire Great Food Army front followed the Great Food Army forward, eight hundred paces, and entered the range of the bed crossbow.

The Tang army had already prepared four hundred bed crossbows, the bowstrings were tightened, and the big arrows were put into the slot, "Put!" Four hundred bed crossbows were fired at the same time, and large black arrows were fired at the tall trebuchet, "Boom! With a loud bang, a trebuchet was shot by a large arrow, and its long arm broke.

"Boom!" There was another loud bang, the tall wooden frame collapsed, and the soldiers below let out a shout and fled in all directions.

A round bed crossbow was fired, and more than 20 trebuchets lost their combat effectiveness, but the number of trebuchets of the big cannibals was too large and scattered, and it was difficult to destroy them all for a while.

Dozens of huge fireballs crossed the twilight sky and smashed straight towards the main formation of the Tang army, hundreds of Tang saber and shield soldiers were hit by the huge fireballs, killed and wounded, countless people were covered in flames, screaming and running miserably, and soon fell to the ground, and hundreds of flags were ignited, and they were burned into light poles in an instant.

Li Qing'an was furious, pointed at his sword, and shouted: "The whole army is on it!" ”

The Tang army attacked in an all-round way, the mighty army rushed towards the Great Food Army, in the running, the Tang Army's arrows rained, overwhelming, and the sky that had just been faint was covered into black, because the distance was too close, the trebuchet of the Great Food Army lost its effect, and the Khorasan Army and the Syrian Army shouted and rushed up against the rain of arrows of the Tang Army.

The two sides collided violently and fought, and the war reached a fever pitch, when the Muslims saw the mysterious chariot again, which followed the right flank of the Tang army, and around them were five thousand Qarluq cavalry, and the Muslim's heart was so nervous that he stopped beating, and he shouted wildly in his heart: "Qarluqs, Qarluq brothers, take them prisoner, I will give you everything, you will have everything!" ”

He had received information from the Turkic spies that the Qarluqs were willing to cooperate with the Great Food Army on the battlefield.

Glancing from afar, he seemed to understand the thoughts of the Muslims, and with a shout, a thousand Qarluq cavalry surrounded fifty of the chariots and rushed towards the far left flank of the Great Eclipse, where the Syrian army was located.

The Muslims were overjoyed that the chariots had broken away from the Don brigade, which indicated that the Qarluqs had captured them, and he shouted: "Go ahead, capture the chariots!" ”

At this moment, he seemed to have forgotten the power of the chariot, as if the chariot had become his sword, and he seemed to see himself blow up the strong and towering walls of Constantinople with such a powerful weapon as the Tang Dynasty.

Fifty chariots rushed into the left flank of the Great Food Army, and were instantly surrounded by 10,000 Syrian cavalry, they were tightly huddled together, surrounded by regiments in the middle, as if thirty poor sheep were shivering, and the Qarluq cavalry left the chariot, held high the black flag of the Great Eclipse, and ran behind the Syrian cavalry, more than a dozen Syrian cavalry rushed up and split the doors of several of the chariots with knives, only to see that there was no Tang Army in the carriage, but full of black oil paper packages, each package was tied tightly, and no one knew what was inside? They split several other chariots, and they were all the same.

The cavalry looked at each other, and no one knew what these black packages were?

Li Qingan saw it from afar, he reined in the horse and smiled coldly, the moment to decide the outcome was coming.

Fifty coachmen with torches stood out of the carriage, each of them with a serious look on his face and a look of sorrow in his eyes, and they plunged the torches into the chariot.

The earth trembled with the earth-shattering explosions, and the demon of death roared, spewing flames, mixed with quenched iron sand and pieces of iron, devouring everything around him with impunity.

On the battlefield, both the Tang Army and the Great Food Army stumbled and stood unsteadily, or covered their ears and screamed and fell to the ground, when a huge black mushroom cloud rolled into the sky, the left flank of the Great Food Army had disappeared, and the power of the concentrated explosion of fifty carts of black powder was the first in history, and the five thousand Syrian soldiers who surrounded it became the sacrifice of this war demon.

Its power was so great that even Li Qing'an did not imagine it, he was overturned by the frightened war horse, and the Tang army also suffered losses, the first of which was the thousand Gelulu cavalry, none of them survived, in addition, more than 200 Tang troops were killed and wounded by iron sand.

Many years later, when later historians wrote about the Battle of Talas, all of them became dignified and difficult to write.

The Battle of Talas ended in a landslide-like explosion, the Sogdians were the first to be defeated, their defeat triggered the collapse of the Khorasan army, the defeat of the Great Food Army was like a mountain, the Tang Army covered the army to chase and kill, the blood flowed into a river, the corpses were all over the field, countless Great Food soldiers knelt down and surrendered, in this battle, the 60,000 Tang Army defeated the 100,000 Great Food Army in one fell swoop, killed more than 40,000 people, captured 30,000 people, and captured countless materials. The Muslims fled with thousands of remnants towards the Syr Darya River.

The smoke of gunpowder still permeated the battlefield, the fire caused by the Great Eclipse Fireball had not yet completely burned to ashes, the ground was full of corpses and stumps, the burned flags fell to the ground horizontally, the shattered trebuchets collapsed, and groups of prisoners of war of the Great Eclipse Army raised their hands and were escorted across the battlefield by the Tang Army in despair.

Li Qing'an silently watched the explosion of fifty gunpowder trucks in the distance, where a huge earth pit had formed, and the inside of the pit was dyed red, and he couldn't help but sigh a long sigh, his heart was heavy, and there was no joy of victory.

At this time, a team of Tang troops escorted a high-ranking official, he was wounded, he was hit by three arrows, he passed by Li Qing'an, stopped his steps, and asked in Turkic: "Are you Li Qing'an, the commander of the Tang Army?" ”

Li Qingan glanced at him and nodded.

"I want to ask, don't you feel ashamed that you used such a demonic weapon?"

Li Qingan smiled faintly and said: "The war was originally cruel, why didn't you condemn the Byzantine navy when it burned tens of thousands of Arab navy with Greek fire?" ”

The senior official of Dashi was speechless for a moment, Li Qingan smiled and asked, "Who are you?" ”

The high-ranking official raised his head and said arrogantly: "I am the governor of Samarkand, Ziyad. Root. Sarih. ”

．．．．．．． Three days later, Abu. When the Muslims had crossed the Syr Darya, he stopped fleeing and began to gather the defeated army, which for two days and one after another fled from Talas, and he gathered a total of 13,000 men, including 8,000 from his Khorasan army, 2,000 from the Syrians, and the remaining 3,000 from Sogdian soldiers.

The heart of the Muslim is extremely sad, in this Tang food war, he invested 130,000 troops, 80,000 horses, 30,000 camels, military money and food, but in the end only 13,000 people remained, less than 7,000 horses, hundreds of camels, and all the camp materials were lost.

Now, how should he explain to the Abbasid Caliph? The Muslims sighed and said to themselves: "It is better to die on the battlefield than to be killed in disgrace by the Abbasids." ”

He pulled out his sword violently, and wanted to kill himself with a horizontal sword, but his own soldiers rushed up in fright, hugging his waist and arms, "Governor, it was the Tang army that used witchcraft to defeat us, and the caliph should forgive us." ”

"Hex?" Muslims suddenly feel refreshed, yes! How did you forget, this is the best excuse, the thunder of the Tang army killed and injured 5,000 Syrian soldiers at once, isn't this witchcraft?

Having another excuse to live, he slaughtered hundreds of horses for food, and withdrew with the remnants of his army to Samarkand, where he met a messenger sent by the Abbasids when he was two hundred miles away.

"Your Excellency the Governor, all the troops in the river have withdrawn to Khorasan, and His Majesty the Caliph has an order to give up the fight against the Tang army and withdraw to Khorasan immediately."

Muslims were taken aback, "What happened?" ”

The messenger smiled bitterly and said: "There has been a great rebellion among the Sogdians in the Transoxiana region, our army cannot suppress it, so we can only withdraw to Khorasan, and the remnants of the Umayyads have re-erected the banner in Spain, His Majesty the Caliph needs the army to suppress it, and orders you to stop the war with the Tang Dynasty, bring the army back to Damascus, and abandon the river." ”

"What!"

The Muslim stared blankly in the direction of the river, when he suddenly screamed, spurted blood from his mouth, and fell limply to the ground.
