Alim, the defender of the city of Piramoro, called one of his men.

"Battuta, how's it going? Any news lately? ”

"General, nothing has happened recently, why are you so nervous?"

Battuta didn't understand a little, they were a powerful Arab imperial army, when were they afraid?

However, this time, Alim, who led the army, not only sealed off the entire city of Viramoro, but also made a gesture that he would not go out half a step just to defend the city.

And I also asked if there was anything new in the three days.

"Hey!" Alim, who was already full of gray hair, said: "Because didn't you send some wounded back to China a few months ago? I heard from several of the wounded that they had been wounded in pursuit of the fleeing Tianzhu after the attack on the city of Latan. ”

"These Tianzhu people are vulnerable, are they too few people?" Battuta asked.

"No, it was General Jafar who pursued with an army of 50,000 at that time, but later the other side did not suffer too many casualties, but we lost a few thousand people, and General Jafar was also killed."

"What!" Battuta let out a low voice, "Is that General Jafar who has been with Lord Amr for many years dead?" ”

He really couldn't believe it, you know, how could a general with an army of tens of thousands be killed so easily?

Alimu nodded: "This news has been temporarily blocked, because I am afraid of affecting the morale of the army." It is said that the reason for such large casualties is that some Datang people and the army of Datang appeared in it. ”

"Datang?" Battuta came to his senses: "Some time ago, we met a few scouts, those people were fierce and abnormal, when they were arrested, the four of them killed more than 20 of us, and finally they were trapped in a private house, and they directly set themselves on fire in it. ”

"Later, I found the merchants in the city to identify them, and said that they should be from Datang, and they are very similar to the caravan from Datang."

"That's right! They are the scouts of Datang! Alim said, "Later, I sent people to inquire about the nearby cities, and several cities found traces of these scouts. ”

Battuta is also a veteran of battle, and when he heard Arim say this, he couldn't understand it.

"So these scouts are stabbing

Explore our military situation and prepare for the attack of the Tang Army! ”

He walked back and forth in the tent for a few steps before asking, "But we are in the city of Viramoro, which is the farthest away from the Tang Dynasty, how can they attack us first?" ”

"What if they want to cut off the retreat of our entire Arab army?" Some old Alimu's eyes shone with wisdom: "They are powerful and unknown enemies, so we have to guard against them." ”

"Cut off our retreat?" Battuta stayed where he was, because if the other side wanted to cut off the Arab army, then there was only one possibility, and that was that they had absolute confidence that they would be able to defeat the Arab army in Tianzhu.

But how is this possible? They were the most powerful Arab imperial army in the world, and they had never tasted defeat in a war in decades.

This time, the 400,000-strong army attacked the Tianzhu Kingdom, which was claimed to have a thousand-year-old civilization, and the legendary powerful Jieri Dynasty was as vulnerable as paper paste in front of them.

It seems that Lord Alim is still old, and I heard that when people get old, their courage will become smaller, but I didn't expect to be so timid.

Just when he thought so, he was slapped in the face.

A soldier came to report: "General, a large army has been found outside the city in the west, and it is not our Arab Empire nor the people of Tianzhu who are not in costume." They have now set up camp a few miles west of the city. ”

Alim was shocked in his heart, is he really worried about anything?

Picked up the sword next to him and rushed out.

Seeing this, Battuta also hurriedly followed.

The two men got out of the camp and got on their horses and hurried to the side of the city wall, and in less than a moment they came to the top of the city wall, and Alim looked outside, and sure enough, an army had come.

I think there are about 20,000 people, but they are coming towards the city of Viramoro in a chaotic formation.

Arim said to Battuta: "Go to the city and bring a few merchants who can speak Tang and Arabic." ”

Although the army under the city did not know the banner of the Tang Dynasty, Alim knew that it would inevitably only be the army of the Tang Dynasty.

Unexpectedly, he was really guessed correctly, and the other party wanted to capture the city of Piramoro and cut off the retreat of the Arab Empire.

Several merchants were caught on the city wall by Battuta, and Alim glanced at them and said, "Don't be afraid, ask them if it is an army from the Tang Dynasty and why they are coming to our city of Piramara." ”

Those businessmen looked outside, no need to ask, just look at the military flag is a big Tang character, it must be the army of the Tang Dynasty.

Hearing the question from the city, Duan Zhixuan shouted angrily: "Thousands of merchants in Datang were innocently killed by you, and now that the million-strong army of Datang has entered Tianzhu, I will definitely kill you and others to comfort their souls in the sky." ”

Several businessmen exchanged ideas with each other, and only then did a businessman who could speak Arabic honestly translate Duan Zhixuan's words to them.

"Hehe, what nonsense!" Battuta said disdainfully: "If it is really a million army, then the supply line can drag them to death!" And if it is really a million army, I am afraid that there are only 20,000 people who come to us, my lord, they must be bluffing. ”

Alimu nodded, although he was worried about Datang, but he didn't think that they had a million army, he didn't show up just now, but secretly observed on the side.

This Tang army doesn't seem to have a mysterious weapon with that kind of black pipe.

Lord Amru specially told all the senior generals that when you meet the Tang Army, you must pay attention to hiding your identity, and you can only wear the armor of ordinary soldiers, or find a stand-in by your side.

The other party has a kind of black pipe that is quite powerful, but the number should not be much, and now it seems that it should be like this, these Tang troops do not have that kind of weapon.

Thinking about the appearance of this army just now, I feel that this army is not elite.

Of course, Alim is always serious, even if he suspects that the other party is not an elite army, he has made up his mind that he will never go out of the city to meet the enemy.

"Don't talk nonsense, do you descend or not?" Duan Zhixuan pointed to the city and asked.

"Humph!" After listening to the translation, Battuta opened his bow and shot an arrow.

Duan Zhixuan, of course, they couldn't shoot from a stone's throw away, but this was their answer.

"In that case, then prepare to attack the city!"

Duan Zhixuan gave an order, but his subordinates only replied with a few weak voices.
