"Okay, don't sell it, let's talk about it!"

Tang Ping threw a piece of chewing gum to Zhen Youqian, he threw it into his mouth and began to speak.

The army led by Li Jing, after landing from five different places, swooped down on the nearest five cities.

The five cities of the Arab Empire have all deployed heavy troops, thinking that if the Tang Dynasty comes to attack, then they can support each other as horns.

But he didn't expect Li Jing to give the order to attack five cities at the same time.

Liam, the defender of the city of Kalinga, saw that Li Jing was only carrying 30,000 soldiers and horses, and he had never been in contact with the Tang Army, and he thought that his Arab Imperial army was invincible, so he directly led people out of the city to meet him.

Liam had 10,000 elite cavalry, 5,000 elite infantry, and more than 10,000 from China, plus nearly 30,000 slave legions captured in Tianzhu, and set up a position outside the city.

In his opinion, as long as his cavalry charges from the flank, and then 5,000 elite infantry presses up, he can quickly tear apart the Tang Dynasty's military formation.

This is the conclusion reached in countless battles on the Mediterranean coast, and in his opinion, the Tang Army is no different from those armies of the past.

But he soon knew he was wrong, and he was very wrong.

As his cavalry began to flank and prepare to make a detour, a group of black smoke came out on the opposite side dragging some large black pipes.

Then there was a thunderstorm, and shells fell on his cavalry regiment.

Even the most elite Arabian cavalry had never encountered an artillery attack, and all the horses ran and jumped like crazy.

Some Arab soldiers were simply overturned to the ground.

Others were hit by shells and broke their heads.

Anyway, it only took ten minutes for Liam's proud Arab elite knights to fall into a state of collapse.

Then a group of firecrackers came out from Li Jing's side, and some of the cavalry who ran in the wrong direction and rushed towards Li Jing's large array were beaten and rested by a set of three-stage blows.

Liam's face was blue with fright, was he here to fight or to die?

Hurriedly issued an order to retreat, but at this time, many huge colorful monsters flew out of the sky from the rear of Li Jing's barracks.

When it reached their heads, a jar of burning fire was thrown down.

The fire oil in it was stained on the body, and it couldn't be extinguished, and many people could only keep rolling on the ground and wailing.

By the time Liam gathered his army and retreated into the city, the losses were more than four thousand.

Only then did he know that the invincible Arab army he was proud of was so vulnerable.

So quickly send someone to break through and ask for help.

Li Jing completed the siege unhurriedly, then looked at the more than ten cavalry who broke through, and said with a smile: "Let's take a rest today and start working tomorrow!" ”

In this battle, almost a third of the ammunition brought by his team was consumed.

It's not that they don't want to bring more, but after Datang's ammunition is distributed to several troops, there are only so many in one unit.

Because Datang has been improving artillery and firearms, especially the caliber has been changing, the scale of production of ammunition is not large, and this time it has brought all the grain stockpiles.

However, Li Jing didn't feel pity at all, he just wanted to take the lead and beat these Arab soldiers to fear them from the bottom of his heart.

Not only his army, but also the armies that attacked the four cities attacked in the same way.

According to Li Jing's order, on the first day, he had to tell the enemy what it meant to be invincible.

Then the next day, the rested Tang Army, instead of continuing the siege, began to cut trees and grass nearby.

"General, what are they doing?" Liam's lieutenant looked at the Tang Army working outside the city from a distance and asked.

"I'm afraid I'm making siege equipment!" Liam looked at it and said, "But it's okay, when our helpers pass the news from here to Commander Arum, he will come with a large army to relieve the siege." ”

"Although the weapons on the other side are powerful, they are not numerous, but there are more than 30,000 people, and when the 200,000 army commanded by Arum arrives, we will cooperate with the outside world, even if we use people to kill them."

As a result, Datang and Arabia entered a short-lived phase of peace and quietness.

Every day, the Arab army is the Tang army watching from afar on the city wall.

And the Tang Army was busy, and after they went out in the morning, they each returned to the camp tent and began to quietly set up straw men.

There were also a few soldiers who had worked as carpenters in the past, and they were called over by Li Jing.

"You've all seen the Tang Shenwei Cannon, right? Is it possible to weave one out of bamboo chips? ”

Several people looked at each other, and although they didn't know why Li Jing asked this, they still nodded and said, "That's actually not difficult, it's just like making a longer basket." ”

Li Jing said with a smile: "Okay, you will come to me every day in the future to compile the Tang Shenwei cannon, how many days will it take to compile ten?" ”

A few people thought for a while and said, "About three or four days is enough." ”

"Okay!" Li Jing patted a few people, and made it up, I will give you credit.

A few people were overjoyed, this basket was originally their old business, but they didn't expect that now that they are coming to Tianzhu, they can still make meritorious contributions to baskets?

So a few people began to make it up with great enthusiasm, and sure enough, in less than three days, ten of them were made up, and it looked like that from the base to the barrel.

Then Li Jing found a few soldiers who tied paper before joining the army and asked them to paste the black paper outside.

The bamboo cannon pasted with black paper looks like it is no different from the Tang Shenwei cannon made of black cast iron.

At this time, the other soldiers of the straw men also pierced almost tens of thousands of straw men.

Li Jing also asked them to tie the straw men to the two bamboo poles in turn, and then tie the two ends of the bamboo poles to the feet of the two soldiers.

In this way, the two soldiers walked one after the other, and the straw men on the bamboo poles were also walking together.

Cheng Chu, who followed Li Jing, asked silently, "General, can't you order the things in the yang world?" ”

Li Jing snapped the back of his head: "You rammer, do you know a fart?" Why am I not in the yang world? ”

"This paper man and straw man are all used, and it is said that the yang world is ...... I see that people burn it for their ancestors when they worship their ancestors. "I don't dare to say anything more when I think about it.

Li Jing looked at his masterpiece with satisfaction, and then said: "At night today, I will use these more than ten cannons to exchange the real Tang Shenwei cannon outside our military camp facing the city of Qianlingjia." Then everyone withdrew overnight, leaving a few hundred people to control the straw men. ”

These straw men wore Tang military uniforms, and the Arabs could see that there were ghosts on the city wall two or three miles away.

"Will anyone see the chapter name and think that this book is going to cultivate immortals?"
