After the battle, the city of Talas was covered with the corpses of the black-clothed Great Food Alliance, and the blood flowed down the slope into the Talas River, which made the Tang army have to walk a few more steps upstream to get water to drink. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

This battle killed thousands of soldiers from Shiguo, Kangguo and Mi, and Datang only paid the price of hundreds of casualties, Gao Xianzhi made a good start to this war, but unfortunately there was still not much joy on his face, "The enemy army has suffered such a heavy setback, it is probably impossible to go out of the city to attack us in a short time, pass the order, collect the corpses of the soldiers, retreat two miles and set up camp, and order Li You to transport the siege equipment up, and prepare to attack the city early tomorrow morning?" ”

"Yes." The herald took the order and left, and after a while, the kung fu army slowly retreated, and the terrain under Talas City was not conducive to camping, and it was safer to retreat a little, Gao Xianzhi still did not lose his caution at this time. He knew that what he had killed today was only a few servant troops who served as cannon fodder, and that the black-nosed cavalry and the elite cavalry in black clothes and food, which were better fighting in the coalition, had not been damaged, and the strength of the defenders in the city was still there, and he must not be taken lightly.

It is a little regrettable that the assassination is scattered, Gao Xianzhi's sense of smell on the battlefield is indeed extraordinary, he escaped the trap of the black-clothed food, and easily won a victory, it seems that he still needs to continue to endure.

"General, the casualties are counted, more than half of the Shiguo army has been damaged, and Kang and Mi have lost at least two percent of their soldiers and horses, but the warriors of the true gods are still intact and can go out of the city at any time to punish these infidels." Mansur rushed to the head of the city to report to Humet, today's battle made him extremely depressed, he held back his strength and wanted to fight with the elite of the Tang Dynasty, who expected that Gao Xianzhi, who was late enough to defeat the army of the client country, so that he had no room to play; After he finished speaking, he stared at Humet tightly, hoping that the general would give him a chance to take revenge tomorrow.

"Tomorrow, it is estimated that the Tang army should attack the city, and you will divide half of your soldiers and horses on the city wall, and you must block the attack of the Tang people." But Humet didn't seem to see it, the combat effectiveness displayed by the Tang Army today made him jealous, maybe in the case of a head-to-head confrontation, Mansour's soldiers were not their opponents, right? In particular, the heavy infantry in heavy armor and restored broadsword terrified him.

The frontal assault of these heavy infantry was unstoppable, and the cavalry of the Tang Army would not give the black-clothed cavalry a chance to attack its flank, and Houmaid did not intend to take the initiative to attack until he found a way to deal with the Modao team.

"General!" Mansur couldn't help but feel a little anxious, did he want these brave warriors to be turtles behind the city walls? That's not his style of fighting.

"Mansur and Posilin have given us the task of defending the city of Talas and waiting for the arrival of Ziyad reinforcements, and not to disobey the orders of the Governor on the spur of the moment." After seeing the strength of the Tang army, Hou Met temporarily put a break in his plan to compete with Ziad, of course, if the Tang Dynasty showed flaws in the process of subsequent sieges, he would not mind letting Mansour teach them a profound lesson with the scimitar in his hand.

As night fell, the battlefield returned to quiet, but both Gao Xianzhi and Hou Maid knew that tomorrow the city of Talas would be full of people shouting and neighing, and countless warriors would usher in death.

As soon as the day dawned, the Tang army slowly came to the city of Talas, Li You commanded the craftsmen to complete the placement of the trebuchet, one by one the polished boulders were transported to the position, and the crossbows, rams and other equipment were also in place, ready to attack the city of Talas at any time; Those craftsmen were not idle, and were cutting off the wood cut back by the Tang army in the camp, preparing to use it to build siege equipment such as arrow towers, nest cars, ladders, and pointed wooden donkeys.

The defenders of Talas were also making intense preparations, countless arrows were carried to the city, stones and huge logs were piled up behind the battlements, piles of fires were raised, black grease was boiled in them, and the black-clothed food also had its own trebuchets and ballistas, which they had received from the Romans, and they would use these things to resist the attack of the Don army; Whether Western weapons are more advanced or Eastern ones are more powerful will be seen later.

Because of the transportation of siege ordnance, Li You also came to the front of the battle array, he looked at the position of the Qarluqs, and probably couldn't see any chance of their sneak attack, so he relaxed a little and stood beside Li Siye.

Siege is not something that the Mo Dao team is good at, so Li Siye is not holding his big Mo knife in his hand now, but patiently adjusting the bowstring of his hard bow, "Brother Xian, today we will have a good life competition to see who shoots more enemy soldiers." ”

"As my brother wishes." Li You also took off his Sky-Shaking Bow from behind his back, and was ready to face the battle, and after obtaining the blessing of Li Siye's divine power, he was already able to open the Sky-Shaking Bow to seven points, but it had a big advantage in range.

In the Chinese army, Gao Xianzhi waved his arms, and more than a dozen shirtless men waved drumsticks and hit the drum surface of the cowhide drum, and the sound of dong dong broke the silence before the war.

"Kill!" Tens of thousands of Tang soldiers shouted in unison, marching towards the east gate of Talas City, trebuchets, crossbows, and ladders slowly moving forward under their push, and Li You and Li Siye also urged their horses to follow.

In a short time, the trebuchets and crossbows were within their range, and the craftsmen began to make the final adjustments, and in a short time they were ready to fire, and the stones were laid while the infantry continued on their way.

"Shoot!" Duan Xiushi, who served as the commander of the siege army for Gao Xianzhi, gave the order, only heard a few sounds of collapse, and the trebuchet, which had been accumulating for a long time, threw stones violently, large and small stones flew over the heads of the Tang army, and smashed into Talas City with a deadly roar, and several stones that hit the head of the city immediately splashed fragments in all directions, taking away the lives of several Da Shi soldiers who could not dodge.

Then more than 200 crossbows were fired together, and the arrows like sharp spears instantly crossed a distance of hundreds of paces and shot towards the big food army at the head of the city, achieving a short suppression of the head of the city.

Countless Tang soldiers also took advantage of this opportunity to speed up their pace, erected the cloud ladder on the city wall, and the brave men bit their knives in their mouths, and their hands and feet worked together to quickly climb towards the city; Seeing this, the defenders of the Great Food at the head of the city, despite their exposure to the rain of arrows, immediately straightened up and threw stones hard, trying to stop the Tang army's climbing.

At this time, Li You and Li Siye also arrived not far from the city, and the two of them looked at each other and smiled, and at the same time took out their feather arrows and put them on the bowstring. (To be continued.) )
