Chapter 211: "Condor" Basel

Early the next morning, after Liu Zhi arranged the Japanese camp, he sent Duan Qi to lead the third dragon battalion as the pioneer, and then he personally led the army, and the soldiers of the third battalion, one company and two companies formed a total of 20 scout squads to force towards the camp where the Arabs were.

In the face of the menacing dragon battalion soldiers, the Arabs did not timid before the battle, they laid out a total of two lines of defense, the first line of more than 50 people, the second line of nearly 100 people, Duan Qi took a lot of effort to break through these two lines of defense, said to be broken, but in fact, both sides were testing each other, a total of seven or eight casualties, and all of them were Arabs, after feeling the strong combat power of the dragon camp, the Arab scouts began to retreat across the line, and when the second sun rose, Er Xiaoguang led the soldiers of the third battalion and the fourth company to a hillside, and there was a large-scale human camp about two kilometers down the slope, and in front of the camp, an army of about 3,000 people was waiting quietly.

When Duan Qi and the others arrived, Er Xiaoguang and the 100 soldiers under his command had already approached 600 meters, and they were distributed around the Arab army, as if they had surrounded more than 3,000 Arabs.

The Arabs built very few fortifications in front of the battle, only a few low earthen walls were erected as a cover for the archers, not because they underestimated the expeditionary force, but in the face of the awakened and the demon beasts, neither the horse nor the trench could play a big role, unless the trench was dug twenty or thirty meters wide, and the horse was also made of special wood or metal, and set to two or three meters high, but this required a lot of manpower and material resources, and obviously could not be completed overnight.

In front of the earthen wall were more than a hundred Arab scouts, who were also very widely distributed, and formed a confrontation with the Third Dragon Battalion, which numbered nearly four hundred, and seemed to be full of courage.

Ten minutes later, the expeditionary force was all assembled, Liu stood upright on the shoulder of Beamon, coldly looked at the opposite military formation, from the formation, it can be seen that this is a disciplined army, mainly infantry, densely spread behind the earthen wall, the sword and shield soldiers in iron armor are in front, the light armor spearmen are in the back, and the archers are also very numerous, about 500 people, they are standing in a row in front of the sword and shield soldiers, and the longbow in their hands has been erected, just waiting for the expeditionary force to enter the firing range, and they can hit with a rain of arrows at any time.

Liu Zhi's eyes searched for the commander of the enemy's Chinese army, a burly man, with a turban, and a mustache, and a white blindfold tied to his left eye, such an obvious feature made Liu Zhi quickly think of a person - "Condor" Basel, one of the most outstanding leaders in the Arab League, the founder of the Second Arab Empire, and the first "caliph", this person had fought many times with the three city lords on the border of the Chinese Federation in his previous life, and he had always won more and lost less, until the sphere of influence of Xinchun City expanded to the south, Zheng Zhongli and his army also joined in, and the two sides gradually leveled off.

Basel's military talent is undoubted, and his own combat power is also extremely good, when he needs to lead the troops to charge and capture the flag, he is not ambiguous, he is really a good combination of force and wisdom, but the most famous general of the Second Arab Empire in the previous life was not the emperor of Basel, but a Turk named Turan, who was Basel's most important help, but also the biggest enemy.

Because after the establishment of the Second Arab Empire, Turan and the Turkish army under his command soon rebelled, almost pushing the Second Arab Empire into the abyss less than a year after the founding of the country, in that war, Basel suffered his most painful defeat in five years, the imperial army lost nearly 200,000 people, and he was captured and beheaded, and Turan, who originally hoped to regain the glory of the Ottoman Empire, was assassinated at the last moment, and he was about to die first, which made countless people sigh.

This civil strife made the Second Arab Empire directly from prosperity to decline, not only lost the two "military god-level" figures, after quelling the civil strife, they were greatly injured and could no longer compete with the Indian Alliance, the Japanese took the opportunity to tear up the covenant, decisively invaded the west, the empire was in turmoil for a while, and it was about to fall, and it could only fall to the Chinese Federation that had been on the enemy side, and waited for dispatch as a vassal state.

Now that he knew the identity of the enemy general, Liu Zhi gave up the plan to take over by force, Basel was extremely tough on the outside, but quite gentle on the inside, there was no need to worry that he would put the people in dire straits, and of course, more importantly, the Arabs respected their political and religious leader "caliphate" very much, but they have always had no good impression of the infidels or foreign leaders without faith, let alone surrender, which is basically impossible.

Therefore, it is undoubtedly the best way to unite the huge power of Arabia and use it for its own use, and let them exist in the form of vassal states, after all, it is only more than five years, and Liu Zhi cannot change their long-ingrained religious concepts!

And Basel, in Liu Zhi's opinion, is a very suitable candidate, Basel is very eager to establish a unified Arab state, and has been working hard for it, although his military talent is quite inferior to Turan, but his character is definitely countless times better than Turan.

Jumping off the shoulders of the Beamon Behemoth, Liu Zhi walked alone within three hundred meters of the Arab army formation, facing hundreds of longbows ready to fire, he did not have the slightest panic in his expression, coughed lightly, and said aloud in English: "I am the leader of the 'Yanhuang Tribe' from Huaxia, and I have no intention of starting a war with your army, and I also ask the commander of your army to come forward and talk about it, I have something important to discuss." ”

He knew that Basel could understand what he was saying, this guy was a top student before the crossing, fluent in Arabic, English, Spanish, and Chinese, and it is said that he had spent some time in China, and spoke Chinese more fluently than many Chinese.

And with his temperament, he is not afraid of himself who enters the battle alone.

Sure enough, a moment later, the Arab army array parted to the left and right, and the one-eyed Basel walked out with seven guards, he stopped more than a dozen steps away from Liu Zhi, looked at Liu Zhi carefully, and said in a deep voice: "I have lived in China for two years, and I have always thought that China is a peace-loving nation, but I didn't expect that the first to invade our territory was your Chinese army. ”

He spoke pure Chinese, but his pronunciation was a little strange, and the meaning of each word was very clear.

Liu Zhi showed a little stunned, then pointed to the west, and said calmly: "Your Excellency may have misunderstood, our army is from the mountains thousands of miles away, and the target of the conquest is the Indonesians in the west, who are enslaving our compatriots, along the way, we have found many human settlements that practice brutal rule, and it is the purpose and mission of our tribe to uproot these evil rules, however, the army led by Your Excellency is well-disciplined and neat, which is very different from the army we have seen before. This leads me to believe that Your Excellency is not a tyrant, so I think we can sit down and have a good talk, instead of having to fight each other, which will only cost the lives of your soldiers. ”

Mountains thousands of miles away?

Expedition to Indonesia?

Pull out the reign of evil?

Basel was skeptical of these words, he could feel the terrifying aura faintly emanating from Liu Zhi's body, and the two thousand soldiers behind this person, all of them stood straight, and the armament was extremely complete, most of them held a crossbow in their hands, exquisite workmanship, and at a glance they knew that the power was extraordinary, and the entire army under his command revealed a strong atmosphere of battlefield blood, and the army under his command, although the training was strict, most of them had never been on the battlefield, if they started a war rashly, I was afraid that it would be as this person said, let the soldiers die in vain.

"You've killed a lot of my soldiers, and now you suddenly want to sit down for peace talks, you should show me some sincerity first, otherwise how can I trust you?" Basel said expressionlessly.

"Sincerity?" Liu Zhi grinned, his body suddenly moved, and he crossed a distance of more than a dozen steps in the blink of an eye, and before the seven guards could react, he had already stopped firmly in front of Basel, and the two of them were only half a meter apart, as if they had teleported over, moving like thunder, still as water, and the precision of the control of power was breathtaking.

Basel subconsciously took a step back, his eyes were full of shock, he stopped the seven guards who wanted to make a move in time, the strength shown by the young man in front of him was completely beyond his cognition, let alone seven people, seventy-seven hundred may not be able to compete.

At this time, I only heard Liu Zhi continue: "As Your Excellency can see, I am slightly different from you, if I want to kill you, it is completely a matter of thought, this should be the best sincerity I can show, I wonder if Your Excellency is satisfied?" ”

Basel took a deep breath, calmed his turbulent emotions, and asked in a muffled voice, "How do you want to talk?" ”

Liu Zhi said lightly: "Looking at Your Excellency, it should be an Arab, I don't know which country it belongs to?" ”

"Jordan, just call me Basel."

"My name is Liu Zhi, the willow of the willow tree, straight and straight." Liu Naoya introduced himself and continued: "Mr. Basel, I hope to cooperate with you, I will help you establish a highly unified Arab country, and you and the army under your command will follow me to the Quartet, I want to gather all the human beings who have crossed over in one place to form a unity similar to the Earth Federation, and the Arab country I helped you establish will also become an important part of this Federation." ”

He chose to get straight to the point, because he spoke Chinese, and the seven guards couldn't understand it, but Basel showed a look of extreme shock, he looked at Liu Zhi like a madman for a while, and finally reined in surprise and said: "This is an amazing ambition, but I don't know how to believe you, Mr. Liu Zhi, I know that Huaxia was once very powerful in history, but this does not mean that you have the ability to defeat all countries, you know, a thousand years ago, you were still defeated by us in Talas." ”

Liu Zhi was stunned for a moment, he knew that this battle of Talas was a rare contest between the military systems of East Asia and Inner Asia in history, and the two warring sides were the Tang Empire and the Arab Empire in China.

At that time, the Arab Empire was known as the "Great Food", and its national and military strength were quite strong, and it successively defeated the two superpowers of West Asia at that time, Eastern Rome and Sassanid Persia, and its momentum was unmatched for a while.

The Tang Empire also happened to be in the "Kaiyuan Dynasty" period, before that, the Tang Dynasty successively defeated the Eastern and Western Turks, eliminated Tuyuhun and Goguryeo, and when it came to the Battle of Talas, although it was weakened compared with the early stage, but relying on the conscription system and the temperance system, the Tang army's combat power was still extremely strong.

The armies of both sides are strong armies, and the commander is also a masterpiece of the time, the Tang Dynasty is the famous general "Gao Xianzhi", the envoy of the Anxi Festival at that time, one of the highest status warriors of the Tang Dynasty, and Gao Xianzhi opposite the "and Bo Silin" is more legendary, this person is a slave, raised the banner of rebellion against the Umayyad Dynasty in the oasis of fortune, all the way to the west, captured Khorasan, Iran, Iraq, Syria, and finally supported the Abbasid family in Kufa "Abu Abbas" as the "caliph" (meaning the head of the empire), Rong Ma life, countless military achievements, is the most outstanding military general of the Arab Empire for more than 700 years, and it can even be said that there is no one.

In the end, Gao Xianzhi, who had a thousand-mile expedition, was defeated, but the Arab army did not continue to advance eastward, and was still fighting fiercely with the Eastern Romans, and the Tang Dynasty did not carry out retaliatory actions, and then completely abandoned the Western Regions because of the Anshi Rebellion.

On the surface, this is an insignificant matter, but things are far from being so simple, after the Anshi Rebellion, the Tang Dynasty was unable to continue to control the Western Regions, and then the Song Dynasty and the Ming Dynasty gave up the Western Regions, and it was not until the Qing Dynasty that the Western Regions were re-assigned to rule, and at this time, the *** civilization has long become the mainstream of the Western Regions.

On the other hand, after the Battle of Talas, the Sect began to enter the Western Regions, and its influence gradually expanded. In the Song Dynasty, it directly invaded the Buddhist countries in the Western Regions in the form of holy wars.

Without the protection of the central power, the Buddhist regimes in the Western Regions fell one by one, and finally the people of all countries in the Western Regions converted to *** religion, and in the Yuan Dynasty, many Mongolian rulers converted to *** religion, except for Kublai Khan, most of them had a contemptuous attitude towards Han civilization.

Under the impetus of the Mongols, the first religion has taken root in the Western Regions, and the Western Regions has officially become the territory of the first civilization, which directly means that the contraction of the Han civilization and the expansion of the first civilization have a far-reaching impact.
