The method of arson, which the Tang army advanced layer by layer, finally achieved results. When the Tang army finally threw fierce fire oil into the central area, it meant that the entire city was set on fire by the Tang army. Soon, the fire was complete, and the entire city was in flames, and the flames soared into the sky.

"It's over! Finished! Gu Taibai's face was pale, looking at the burning city, and he fell to the ground weakly.

Using the solidity of Talas to hold back the Tang army was an extremely important move in this battle of the Arab Empire, which wanted to hit the morale of the Tang army and achieve the goal of defeating the Tang army.

To this end, the Arab Empire made careful preparations, and Yusuf personally intervened, and Gu Taibai, a confidant general, sat here. Gu Taibai was well aware of the importance of this battle, and after coming to Talas, he did his best to strengthen the city, strengthen the defenses, and build Talas like an iron bucket.

However, Yu Sufu and Gu Taibai had thought of any situation, but they didn't expect that the Tang army would set fire and use fire to attack, and it was so fierce.

Today, the fire is complete, and it is impossible to extinguish it anyway. Even if it is extinguished, Talas is already half-crippled, and it will not be able to stop the advance of the Tang army.

After this burning, the blow to the morale of the army will be very heavy, and the 100,000 soldiers and horses stationed here will no longer be as optimistic as before.

Moreover, whether the grain and grass can be preserved, Gu Taibai is not the slightest sure. Without food and grass, how can this battle be fought?

Of course, this is only the best outcome, which is the case where the fire can be extinguished. In fact, it is impossible to extinguish such a fire, even if it rains terribly.

Because the fire was too big. Heavy rain is powerless. Even if it works. Wouldn't the Tang Army continue to drop the fierce fire oil?

Yes. The destruction of Talas is inevitable!

Without Talas, the Don army could drive straight into Samarkand. Samarkand is the pearl of Central Asia, it is very rich and has many mouths, and the Tang army can completely build Samarkand into a strategic base. With Samarkand, the sword of the Tang Dynasty was tantamount to aiming at the homeland of Persia.

And the people of the Persian homeland are always looking forward to the Tang army coming to rescue them from the dire situation. They have been looking forward to this for decades. After the arrival of the Don Army. They will definitely resist the Arab Empire and will greet the Tang army with enthusiasm.

The Tang army was already difficult to deal with, and with the support of the people of the Persian homeland, the situation of the Arab Empire was worrying, and it was difficult to say whether it could keep the Persian homeland.

The homeland of Persia was extremely important to the Arab Empire, which was an extremely important economic region, not only rich in products, but also developed in technology, which was extremely important for the Arab Empire, which was born as a nomad.

If you lose your Persian homeland. The power of the Arab Empire would plummet.

This kind of consequence is too terrible, after Gu Taibai figured it out. Cold sweat flowed, and his face was pale, without a trace of blood, as if he had been buried in the soil.

As soon as they saw that the fire had been completed, the people in the city felt like the heavens were spinning, as if the end of the world was coming, and they all cried out to the heavens and the earth, and wept bitterly.

"O Allah, why don't you bless your faithful servant? Why don't you send down divine punishment and chop the hateful Chinese to death? ”

"O heaven, O earth, why do we have such a great tribulation?"

"Our homeland, our relatives, our friends, will all be doomed."

"Open your bright and wise eyes, O Allah, and look at them. Your faithful servant is suffering, save your faithful servant. ”

These people knelt on the ground and kept prostrating themselves, begging Allah, whom they believed, to open their eyes and bless them.

However, Allah is ruthless and does not respond to their begging, leaving them to suffer.

"Quick, fetch water, put out the fire."

"That's right! It is important to fetch water to extinguish the fire. ”

There are also people who are still delusional about how to put out the fire and save something.

However, in this situation, the fire has become a fire that cannot be extinguished no matter what, what else can be saved?

It didn't take long for the fire to get stronger, and the people, garrisons, and merchants in the city were running around trying to avoid the fire.

At this moment, if you look at it from the air, you can only see the whole of Talas in a sea of fire. And in the sea of fire, there were people and livestock running around, and there was a panicked scene.

"Let's go, let's go, the fire is coming."

"Don't come here, don't come here, there's no way out here."

"You say no, no, no? I think you have ulterior motives. ”

"That's right, it must have an ulterior motive."

At first, there was hope of fleeing for their lives, but as time went on, the chances became slimmer and slimmer, as the fire grew stronger and there were fewer and fewer places to hide. In other words, people gather more and more, and in the end, you push me and hug me, and it becomes a mess.

"If you don't get out of the way, I'll beat you."

"You dare to hit me? I'll kill you! ”

After a while, the crowd huddled together, you huddled and I hugged, and a physical altercation broke out. The physical altercation turned into bloodshed, and slashing began.

Although there is little hope of surviving in the city, as long as there is a place to hide, there is always hope. If you kill each other, you may be alive.

As a result, a large-scale bloody clash was staged in the city, and people were slashing and killing everywhere.

I don't know how many people hacked and trampled to death.

Even so, they had no hope of survival, as the flames consumed what little space they had. There is no place to hide, only to die in the fire.

"It's on fire! It's on fire! "There were people on fire, their clothes, their hair, and their beards on fire, and in pain, they screamed and jumped up and down, and those onlookers were terrified, and screams came and went.

"Help me, save me." The man on fire, screaming and begging others to save him.

However, no matter how much they shouted and begged, people just watched indifferently, and no one came to save them.

What are you kidding, in this case, even Allah, whom they believe, cannot save them, let alone these helpless people.

"Ahh Yes! Yes! In the midst of the screams, the people on fire burned all over their bodies and let out a scream like that of a wild beast. Give somebody the creeps.

It didn't take long. Those who caught fire were burned alive.

In the beginning. There weren't many people on fire. As time went on, more and more people caught fire, and in the end, I don't know how many people were consumed by the flames.

If you look at it, you will definitely see a spectacle, and you will see that the city is full of people on fire, jumping up and down, screaming and wailing.

Whatever they are beating. It's useless to roll on the ground, and you'll be burned alive in the end.

Of course, not all people will be burned to death, and there are also organic people who thought of a way to escape when the fire first broke out.

"Quick! Soaked with water and wrapped around our bodies, we fled out of the city and surrendered to the Tang army. ”

"That's right! At present, only by begging can you live. ”

"These big dogs. If you can only talk big, you will not be very capable. They keep talking. must hit the Tang army, but he didn't even touch the corner of the Tang army's clothes, and he was burned by the Tang army, which is really hateful. ”

"Hey! They all complained that we were obsessed with ghosts at the beginning, and we would listen to their nonsense, saying that we wanted to enter China, enslave China, and go to heaven on earth to enjoy happiness. ”

"Now that I think about it, I really regret it. If you know this, why not refuse to eat big dogs and be good friends with China, and you can get a lot of benefits. ”

Talas was not owned by the Arab Empire, but was conquered by Muhammad. At the beginning, in order to make the people here not object, he made a heavy promise to the people here to enter the Tang Dynasty and enslave the Tang Dynasty. He drew a wonderful blueprint for the people here, and the people here believed it, thinking that they could really enter China.

But he didn't expect that the Arab Imperial Army didn't even touch the corners of the Tang Army's clothes, and Talas turned into a sea of fire.

These men who had the means soaked their clothes, wrapped themselves around their bodies, and showed only a pair of eyes outside, fled in droves along the small part of the fire towards the city gates.

They thought it was a good idea, but it wasn't. Because the fire is so fierce, even if the clothes are soaked, it will not last long, and soon, the water will evaporate, the clothes will catch fire, and they will be burned to death.

Only a few lucky people were able to escape to the gates of the city by finding water on the way, soaking their clothes and soaking their clothes.

There are also some smarter people who think of a good idea. That is, after the cattle and horses are slaughtered, the cowhide and horse skin are draped on the body, but they can be held for a long time.

Because fresh cowhide horse skin contains a lot of water, and it is not easy to evaporate, so it can last a short time. It took little effort for these men to escape, and their success was much higher, and many of them came to the gates of the city.

Gu Taibai and the guards he led were one of them.

"That's the gate, it's the gate."

"We have a chance of survival."

Those who fled to the gates of the city were so excited that they let out bursts of cheers.

Although Gu Taibai's face was ugly, he couldn't help but be excited. Although he is a faithful servant of Allah, he does not want to die.

"Tang Jun, we are willing to surrender. We will surrender. These survivors opened the city gates, rushed out of the city, and shouted excitedly from afar, with a kind smile on their faces, as if they had seen their ancestors.

"Kill!" Yang Siqiao, who was riding on a tall horse, had a cold look in his eyes and said coldly.

"Whew! Shout! Shout! "The Tang army opened its bow and released arrows, and a net of arrows enveloped these survivors.

"Ahh Yes! Yes! The screams came and went, and many of these survivors were hit by arrows, and a burst of screams erupted.

"Tang Jun, we are going to surrender, how can you kill us?"

"Did you kill the wrong person?"

The survivors all stared at each other in disbelief. They obviously surrendered, but the Tang army actually wanted to kill them, they couldn't have dreamed of it, they went through hardships and finally escaped, but there was no hope of survival.

"I gave you a chance to live, but Gu Taibai refused." Yang Simiao's eyes flashed fiercely, murderous, and said: "I said, if he dares to refuse, there will be no one alive, and I will fulfill my promise!" ”

In this way, the Tang army killed all the survivors who rushed out.

"It stinks! It stinks! "The stench in Talas is getting stronger and stronger, and it spreads with the wind, and it can be smelled even from a hundred miles away. (To be continued......)
