Chapter 349: Talas Defenders
A general like Li Siye, who not only has excellent personal courage, but also has a set of skills in leading the army to fight, seems to have multiple skills? Presumably, generals like Chen Qingzhi and Li Guang don't have more than one skill, but they didn't grasp the opportunity before, so they didn't have such a big gain, right? After this incident, Li You's understanding of the tiger talisman has increased a little, and if there is another task next time, there will definitely be no more than a little gain. Pen?

After arriving at Julan City, Gao Xianzhi ordered the army to rest for a day, and then set off tomorrow to attack Talas City, and at this time, the black-clothed Dashi defenders and the prince of Shi, Yuanen, who were in Talas City, also received the news of the return of the horses, knowing that Gao Xianzhi's army of the Tang Dynasty was not far from them.
"General, the Tang Dynasty army is not less than 100,000, and now the defenders in Talas City are far apart, what should we do?" Prince Yuan En anxiously found the black-clothed general Said-Ben-Humet and said.
Just like all the small countries around the Anxi Protectorate, Shi Guo has been wandering between the Tang Dynasty, Tubo and Da Shi before, Qin Qiang descended to Qin, Chu Qiang descended to Chu, trying to use this way to protect the survival of the country, which is also the helplessness of small countries, but this way of survival requires extremely clever political means, and if you are not careful, you will fall into the abyss.
In fact, Shi Guo had also desperately resisted the attack of the Great Food before, when the white-clothed Great Food invaded Central Asia, the countries in the region have heard the wind and surrendered, and even the most powerful Kang State in the region also signed a peace treaty with the governor of Great Food Khorasan Qu Dibo, and the city of Samarkand has since fallen under the control of the Great Cannibals; At this time, Shiguo was still on the side of the Tang Dynasty, and was rewarded by the Tang Dynasty for his meritorious service in resisting the Great Food, and the king of Shiguo was given the title of King of Shunyi.
Of course, this is not that Shi Guo is really dead set on Datang, but compared with the moderate restraint policy adopted by Datang, Dashi's wanton expropriation of aliens is more unfavorable to Shi Guo; Think about it, on the one hand, as long as they are nominally vassals, they occasionally need to cooperate with the actions of the army, and if something happens, they still hope to get help from the Anxi Protectorate, and on the other hand, they keep asking them for silver coins and slave food, and any king will make the same choice as Shi Guo unless he has to.
However, Shi Guo was too far away from the Tang Dynasty, and when the white-clothed Great Food infiltrated the region, although the small countries of Central Asia united to resist together, they still slowly fell, and the kings of the countries had to give up the religion they had believed in for many years and converted to the throne of the true god of the Great Cannibal, and Shi Guo was gradually unable to resist the attack of the Great Cannibal.
Shi Guo, which was finally broken by the Great Food, was taken by the prestige of the Tang Dynasty, and still did not dare to sever contact with the Tang Dynasty, and constantly sent envoys to write letters; However, the operation of Da Shi in Shi Guo was not without effect, and the black surnamed Tuqi Shi Che Bi Shi Bu replaced the Sheti Department to become the royal family of Shi Guo, and gradually despised Datang.
At the same time, Ning Yuanguo, who has always been at odds with Shiguo, noticed the changes and began to expose Shiguo's betrayal to the Anxi Protectorate and the Tang Dynasty.
It's a pity that Gao Xianzhi's handling of this matter is a little inappropriate, and it is not a big deal to execute a king who betrayed the Tang Dynasty, he only needs to bring up a new king who is close to the Tang Dynasty, and he will take over the Shi Kingdom; But Gao Xianzhi failed to do this, not only did he not clean up the mess of the Shi Kingdom, but also let the prince of Shi, Yuanen, flee to Dashi, and found the black-clothed governor of Dashi and Bo Xilin in Khorasan.
After learning that Guishun and his own stone kingdom had been destroyed by the Tang Dynasty, Posilin feared that other countries would also perish, so he immediately led a large army to Samarkand, a few hundred miles away from the city of Talas, to command the army, and sent his generals to meet the approaching Tang army, Ziyad bin Saleh and Saeed bin Humet, who had just quelled the rebellion in the Bukhara region.
At this time, although the Black Clothes Food was newly established, it also had a group of generals and elite troops who could fight well, and also left a great battle in various places, and the Andalusians in Europe, the Maghreb in North Africa and the Sham in the Middle East all became their defeated men.
But Posilin knew that he was facing a much stronger enemy than before, so he not only sent reinforcements to Talas, but also began to build fortifications in Samarkand, preparing to hold off Gao Xianzhi's army here after the fall of Talas.
Now Ziad is still on the way, and Sayyid bin Humet has arrived in Talas City with Yuan En, the prince of Shi, and now in the city, in addition to the army of the Black Clothes and the Kingdom of Shi, there are also 20,000 troops of Kang, Mi and the Black Turkish, and what they have to do at this time is to stop Gao Xianzhi's army before the arrival of Ziyad's army.
"What's the panic, my army in black is deeply favored by the true gods, and these heretics can't defeat us." Sayyid bin Humed was a long-time veteran of the battle in black, but he was much calmer than Yuanen, he knew that Ziad's army was already on the way, and there were still ill-intentioned Qarluqs in Gao Xianzhi's army, and the outcome of this battle was still unknown.
Yuan En is not as calm as him, although the city of Talas is strong, but it has not been conquered, a few years ago, Fumeng Lingcha, who was only the guard of Shule Town, and the king of Ningyuan, Asilanda Khan, attacked this city together, and now the commander of the Tang army has been replaced by the more terrifying Gao Xianzhi, can they really stop it?
Looking at Yuan En's worried look, Hou Maid smiled disdainfully, "Continue to send scouts to find the traces of the Tang people, and send orders to let the soldiers prepare for the attack, and when the Tang army comes, we will teach them a lesson first." ”
Hou Meide did not want to refuse to defend the city, in his opinion, the Tang Dynasty would be sleepy on a long march, and his own side was waiting for work, taking advantage of the Tang army's unstable foothold to attack, and he would definitely be able to return with a big victory.
Although Yuan En is the prince of Shi, the supreme commander in Talas City is now Said-Ben-Humet, and under his order, the armies of the Black-clothed Great Food, Shi Guo, Kang Guo, Mi Guo and the Black Turk Shi have moved one after another, ready to attack at any time.
At noon on the second day, Hou Meide on the city wall saw the horses galloping back from a distance, and they may have found traces of the Tang army. (To be continued.) )
