476 Attack the Arab Empire in Tianzhu
Tang Ping returned to modern times, and it had been almost four months since their Tang Dynasty ceremony.
At that time, Tang Ping specially arranged for the Tianzhu envoys who came to Chang'an to send them back to China by sea.
The main thing is to determine the wharf for trading jadeite rough in the future, and after the steward of the Raga Sri and the Tang family is determined, they will continue to the west and prepare to return to Zhongtianzhu.
After walking for a few days, when they came to the outside of the city of Latan, where they were trading with Tang Ping at that time, Rakya Sri and the others realized that something was wrong.
According to Tanma's report, there was a large army attacking the city of Latan.
When Raja Sri heard this, he hurriedly took the chief of the guard and some of his retinue and quietly went in the direction of the city of Ratan.
On a hill far from the city of Latan, a large army could already be seen in the mouth of the Tanma.
It is estimated that there will be at least 50,000 combat troops.
"This, Queen! Where did this army come from? ”
Raga Sriri's guards were shocked, you must know that the city of Latan is in the northeast of Tianzhu, if the enemy army has attacked here, then the situation of the entire Middle Tianzhu is needless to say.
Raga Sri was also shocked, and took out the children's telescope that Tang Ping had given her personally and looked at it.
"Like...... It's the army of the Arab Empire! ”
"The Arab Empire?" Raja Sri's entourage was shocked: "How did they get here?" ”
"We have been away from Tianzhu for half a year, I'm afraid that during this time, they have already called!" Raja Sri was also a little flustered: "I don't know what is going on in Tianzhu now." ”
This era is like this, without Tang Ping's black technology, they will be black-eyed when they leave Tianzhu.
Coming back by sea, it is even more impossible to receive any news about Tianzhu.
"So what do we do now?" The people who followed Raja Sri were a bit of a six-god godless.
The Arab Empire was ruled by Muhammad until 632 AD, and their main powers were still in the later generation of Arabs, Yemenis, and Oman.
The forces did not break through to the Red Sea and the Persian Gulf.
However, in 632 A.D., when Abu Burk came to the throne, he began a three-way army from the then capital Medina to the north.
Soon Jerusalem, Kufa and Basra and the area of Hofuf were conquered and occupied
The entire Arabian Peninsula.
In 634 A.D., that is, in the eighth year of Zhenguan, another legendary monarch came to the throne, and that was Omar the Great of Arabia.
In ten years, he conquered Libya and Egypt westward, occupying half of the southern shores of the Mediterranean.
Then it moved north and east, and occupied what would become known as Damascus, as well as Iraq.
They even set out from Damascus several times to attack Constantinople in the Byzantine Empire via the Mediterranean Sea route.
The time to complete all this is 644, that is, the 26th year of the founding of Datang.
Therefore, if it is the historical trajectory of Tang Ping's original world, the current Arab Empire should still be in the Middle East, and it will not continue to advance eastward and conquer Armenia and Azerbaijan until the Ottoman Empire of the Arab Empire ascends the throne in 644.
It was fought until Kabul approached the Indus River, threatening the Tang Dynasty and Tianzhu at that time.
But because of the particularity of this time and space, this powerful empire has accelerated its journey.
In 638 AD, the twentieth anniversary of the founding of the Tang Dynasty, and in the spring of the twelfth year of Zhenguan, Umar the Great suddenly gathered an army of 400,000 and captured most of Tianzhu in less than half a year.
Because there are countries such as Tianzhu, Kashmira, and Jiandaluo in the middle, Datang does not know much about this powerful country that has risen in the Arabian Peninsula.
But as the queen of Tianzhu, Lajia Sri has long heard of it.
However, because the offensive of the Arab Empire has been advancing to the west, that is, the southern shore of the Mediterranean Sea and the north of Africa.
They didn't seem to have much interest in Tianzhu in the east, which made them relax their vigilance.
Raja Sri bit his lip and looked at the Arab army attacking the city of Ratan, and asked in a low voice, "How many more do we have?" ”
"This time, there are 2,000 guards who followed the queen to Datang, plus a total of 4,000 other warriors!"
"Tonight, prepare for a night attack!" Raja Sri said firmly.
It's not that she has a good relationship with the Ratans, it's that she needs to know what happened from the Ratans.
Although the Arab army numbered 50,000 men, it seems that they still cannot capture the city of Latan today.
And they would never have imagined that here
There would also be an army like Raja Sri, so they had a great chance of defeating this Arab army if they attacked at night.
Don't look at Raga Sri as a woman, but being able to pull up a team after the death of his brother King Jieri, and finally succeed in ascending to the throne with the help of Tang Ping, is definitely not as simple as an ordinary vase.
And she also has the greatest confidence, that is, they came back this time with the three thousand Tang swords and guns they bought from Tang Ping.
These weapons made of stainless steel will increase the combat effectiveness of her warriors by several notches.
If they don't make a move, Latan City will probably not survive tomorrow.
In fact, if it weren't for the fact that they made some money by doing business with Tang Ping through the Dongnu Kingdom, and let them continue to strengthen the city, buy armaments and recruit soldiers, they would have broken the city under the attack on the first day.
So after nightfall, when the Arab army had finished its day's fighting and began to rest, Raja Sri led his men to attack the Arab camp from behind.
The rear of the Arab battalion was originally occupied by their Arab Empire, and they could not have imagined that an army would be sent behind them by the Tang Dynasty's sea ships and launched an attack on them.
In the era of cold weapons, night raids are always the best way to defeat the strong with the weak.
Even the mighty warriors of the Arab Empire, even though they were more than ten times the strength of Rajasri, were overwhelmed by such a night attack.
And the Latan Tata in Latan City also took the opportunity to open the city gate and rushed out with the few remaining Latan warriors.
He didn't know who it was, but he knew it was the last chance for the Ratans.
If the besieging Arab armies are not routed today, then the fate of the Latans will be the same as those of the powerful families of Central India, either dying out or becoming slaves of the Arabs.
The battle lasted from midnight to dawn, and the Arab armies had no idea who had attacked them from behind.
After resisting powerlessly for a while, they began to retreat.
At least nearly 10,000 corpses were left on the way to escape.
"Stop the pursuit!" The veil had long since flown to where it had gone, and the bloodied Raja Sri held his spear aloft.
"Queen, you're finally back!" Ratan Tata also came to Raka Sri covered in blood and fell to his knees.
