Yusuf originally wanted to use a brutal massacre to drive a wedge between the Tang army and the Persians, but he didn't expect that Yang Siqiao would be more ruthless than him, and the slaughter scene he led could no longer be carried out, and had to end in a tiger.

Yang Siqiao, a famous general of the Tang Dynasty, although he was born from a humble background and was born as a eunuch, he was resolute, proficient in military morality, and very talented in military affairs.

Moreover, he is a real famous player. He led the army to quell the Vietnamese rebellion led by Mei Xuancheng, and he put down the rebellion of Wu Ximan, a legendary eunuch who started with military exploits, and it stands to reason that people should have a good impression of him.

However, later generations did not have a high opinion of him, the reason is that Yang Siqiao was too brutal. He has never treated the captives as human beings, and has cleaned them up fiercely. There are even rumors that he eats people's hearts raw.

"Ruthless people meet ruthless people, it was originally our ruthless people who are more ruthless." The soldiers of the Tang army looked at the city, only to see that the Persians were escorted down, and they had to sigh.

"Ruthlessness is also a strategy." Zhang said that he was also emotional.

"Our ruthless people are superior." Chen Xuanli had a smile on his face.

If it weren't for the ruthless man Yang Siqiao, it would be really difficult to clean up when he encountered such a massacre like Yousufu. Yang Siqiao's ruthless expression suppressed Yousufu, which was really surprising.

"Dashuai, let's attack the city." Xue Zhi's eyes sparkled, and he said, "General Yang suppressed Yousufu, this is a good opportunity for us to attack the city, we must not miss it." ”

"Siege?" Zhang Shuo raised his eyebrows and said in a deep voice: "Although it is a good opportunity to attack the city now, the effect will not be too great." Yusuf is a famous player after all. Serious. Heng Ross, we were able to succeed because we were caught off guard by beating Gu Taibai. Yusuf will definitely learn his lesson. Will do a good job of fire prevention. Moreover, Gul is too big, and although our trebuchets are good, they cannot cover the whole city, and it will not be easy to capture Gul. ”

Talas was captured by the Tang army, and if Yusuf hadn't learned his lesson, he wouldn't have been Yusuf.

"What the marshal said is very true." Chen Xuanli nodded in agreement. After a moment of conversation, he said, "Even so, we have to fight." At least you can probe the truth and the truth. ”

"That's right." Zhang Shuo agreed with Chen Xuanli's words and said, "Let's attack the city." ”

As soon as the order was handed down, the first thing to strike was the trebuchet of the Tang army, which smashed the overwhelming stones on the head of the city, and smashed a lot of the Arab Imperial trebuchets on the head of the city.

The range of the Tang army's trebuchets was longer, and this advantage had to be fully utilized. Otherwise, once the trebuchet of the Arab Empire wields its might, it will also create a lot of trouble for the Tang army.

After the trebuchet succeeded. The crossbow of the Tang army appeared and smashed at the city gate. An earth-shattering sound erupted, and the walls trembled.

"The Chinese's crossbow is really powerful." Yusuf stood at the head of the city, feeling the vibration under his feet, and was greatly admired.

"My lord, our city gates are about to be overwhelmed." Some generals looked at the deformed city gate and were very worried.

"It doesn't matter." Yusuf sneered: "The car crossbow is powerful, but it is very simple to break the car crossbow. Just pile it up behind the city gate with dirt bags. ”

"Good idea." The generals were suddenly overjoyed.

This order was carried out, and the Arab Imperial army brought in the bags and piled them up behind the city gates, thick, more than ten meters long.

In this way, even if the crossbow is used, there is no way to get the city gate.

There are so many dirt bags piled up, not to mention crossbows, even modern missiles may not be able to control the city gates.

The crossbow of the Tang Dynasty was a siege weapon, which was invincible in the past, but now when he met Yousufu, he was able to crack it with a very simple method.

Zhang said that he couldn't help the city gate, so he ordered the trebuchet to throw fierce fire oil at the city, and there was a sea of fire on the city. No matter how hard the Tang army tried, the fire could only be placed on the head of the city, but the city was safe and sound.

"This Yusuf is really amazing." Zhang Shuo nodded, quite appreciative, and said: "This fire prevention is not leaky, and we can't help him." ”

"This is a problem." Chen Xuanli raised his eyebrows, a little worried, and said: "Gur City is high and thick, easy to defend and difficult to attack, and there is plenty of grain and grass, and there are 300,000 troops stationed here, if we defend the city, it will be difficult for us to capture it." ”

"What's worse is that Gul is the former capital of Persia and must be taken." Yang Siqiao's brows were also twisted together, and he said, "If you can't take Gul, Persia can't restore the country." Persia cannot recover because it cannot provide us with strong support, and second, it cannot crack down on the Great Eclipse. ”

Needless to say, the importance of the capital city to a country is incomparably important. It is not only of extremely important strategic value, but also a symbol of a country.

Gul, as the capital of Persia, if you can't take it down and talk about the restoration of Persia, it will become a joke.

Of course, if the Tang Dynasty took down Gul, there would be many benefits. It can not only restore Persia smoothly, but also inflict heavy losses on the Arab Empire.

In particular, the restoration of Persia would have dealt a devastating blow to the Arab Empire if it had spread. One is that the land of Persia is very important, and the main technology of the Arab Empire is stored here. Second, it can motivate other places to oppose the Arab Empire, which will make the Arab Empire anxious.

It boils down to one point, Gul has to take it.

Even if the Tang army wanted to bypass Gul, it would not be possible.

It was precisely because of this that Yusuf deployed a heavy army in Gur, defending the city and consuming the Tang army.

"The city of Gur is high and thick, easy to defend and difficult to attack. Even if we succeed again, after a bloody battle, we will not suffer fewer casualties, not to mention the price of three or two hundred thousand. Xue Zhi's brows tightened, and he said very worriedly: "It may even reach four or five hundred thousand casualties." If we really have to pay such a high price, we will have no follow-up and it will be difficult for us to fight again. ”

This is not an exaggeration, but the truth.

Gul was the capital of Persia, and after hundreds of years of operation by the Persian Empire, there is no doubt about its fortification. Moreover, the Arab Empire is also strengthening this city, and no matter how powerful the Tang army is, if it wants to capture this city, it will have to pay a high price.

Three or two hundred thousand casualties, that's the best-case scenario. It is more likely to pay a high price of four or five hundred thousand casualties, if this is the case, the Tang army will lose its follow-up fighting force.

Even if Li Longji sends troops for reinforcements, it will have to wait a long time, and the fighter plane will be delayed.

"What is going to be done?" The generals look at me, and I look at you, and I look at you, and I am sorrowful.

On the other side, Yusuf's face was calm, while the generals of the Arab Empire were full of joy.

"The Chinese must be worried, right?"

"That's for sure. The city of Gur is high and thick, easy to defend and difficult to attack, we defend the city according to the city, consume the Chinese, or it will not be long before the Chinese will not be able to stand it. ”

"The Chinese are in trouble now, and they have to pay a high price for attacking. If you don't attack, you can't. You say, what will the Chinese do? ”

The interest of the generals was extremely high, and the shouts rang out into one, and everyone smiled.

"Defend the city well, don't give the Chinese a chance." Yu Sufu raised his eyebrows, his eyes flashed, and said: "Zhang said that it is not easy to be with his peers, although the current situation is not good for him, but he will not be reconciled, he will definitely find a way." But as long as we don't give him a chance, he can't do anything. ”

"Your Excellency is wise." The generals said in unison.

Unlike the generals' anxieties, Zhang said that he was calm as usual, as if there was no zài in the troublesome city of Gur.

"Dashuai, why aren't you anxious at all?" Chen Xuanli found out that what Zhang said was abnormal, and he was a little surprised, so he hurriedly asked.

The crowd was reminded, and when they saw Zhang Shuo's expression, they were also surprised.

Gur is related to the life and death of the Tang Army, Zhang said that he is not in a hurry, who can not be surprised?

"First, because when encountering this kind of thing, anxiety is useless, it will only increase the troubles, not to mention, and it will also hit the morale of the army." Zhang said slowly.

The generals nodded in agreement.

It's a tricky thing to be anxious about, and it's useless. Moreover, as a manager, if you write anxiety on your face, it will hit the morale of the military. Even if Zhang said that he was anxious in his heart, he would not "write" it on his face, but put it in his heart, and on the surface, there was nothing wrong.

"The second is that although Gur is strong, easy to defend and difficult to attack, it is not difficult to break through this city." Zhang's words were astonishing.

"What? Isn't it difficult? ”

"Did I hear me wrong?"

"I'm not wrong with my ears, are I?"

When the generals heard this, their eyes widened and their faces were incredulous, thinking that something was wrong with their ears.

How difficult it is to fight Gul, everyone knows that if the Tang army wants to conquer this city, it must pay a high price, and it is impossible without three or two hundred thousand dead and wounded.

Even if the price of 320,000 dead and wounded is paid, it may not be worth it.

Zhang said that it was not difficult, who would believe it? Whoever believes is a fool.

"Dashuai, are you joking?" Chen Xuanli's eyes widened, staring at Zhang Shuo, and asked tentatively.

"It's definitely a joke. It's funny. The generals greatly agreed with Chen Xuanli's statement.

"It's not." However, Zhang Shuo vetoed it and said, "I'm serious." It's really not that hard to take this city. ”

"Really...... Target...... No...... Difficult? Chen Xuanli said with difficulty.

A sentence that was originally very smooth, but at this time, it was like a thousand pounds, Chen Xuanli paused word by word, and it took a lot of effort to finish it.

"Great Shuai, this is not easier than our attack on Stone Castle City, how can you say that it is not difficult?" Xue Zhi really couldn't help it and asked loudly.

"yes." These words are exactly what the generals are thinking, and they all echo in unison.

"Well said!" Zhang praised loudly and said: "Shibao City is so difficult to fight, it has stumped so many people, as soon as His Majesty arrives, this city will fall in one fell swoop." Although I am not as good as His Majesty, I really don't have to bother too much to capture this city. ”

"You ......" The generals really wanted to say that Zhang Shuo was crazy, but this was Zhang Shuo, who convinced them, and could only swallow this disrespectful sentence back into his stomach.

"Dashuai, even if you can take it, how can you attack it?" Chen Xuanli's eyes widened.

This question is exactly the doubt in the hearts of the generals, and they all stared at Zhang Shuo with wide eyes. (To be continued......)
