Chapter 650: We Can't Lose Datang

"Could it be that they have the support of Datang?!" Both Hasim and Kaka were shocked.

They all know about the Tang Dynasty, after all, the merchants of the Tang Dynasty have always been active between Persia and Byzantium, and many of their own merchants have gone to the Tang Dynasty, they can easily know from the mouths of these merchants what a powerful country it is!

A terrifying country with nearly a million troops at every turn!

If Persia had the support of the Tang Dynasty, they would have no chance of winning!

"I don't think so, did they buy armor and weapons from Datang?" Kaka said suddenly.

"Huh?" Said looked at him.

"I have been fortunate to come into contact with the merchants of the Tang Dynasty, and most of the merchants of the Tang Dynasty are basically trading with Persia by sea, and on land, there are countries such as the Western Regions and the Turks, and it is not easy for the Tang Dynasty to come over, so it is definitely not supported by the Tang Dynasty." Kaka said.

Said pondered for a moment, "Actually, we don't have a lot of armor, if we can buy such armor too." Said looked at the blood-stained armor in front of him.

"We will be invincible!" Both Hasim and Kaka shouted in agreement.

"Let's go to the caliph." Said took a deep breath and spoke decisively.

All three men went to the camp of Caliph 'Umar ibn Khattab at the same time.

When the three of them arrived at the camp, Umar himself was also waiting for them, he was in the rear today, and when he volunteered, it was Hashim who led the army to participate in the attack, but he never expected that Persia would have backup!

"How? My generals, has the situation been figured out? Umar did not condemn anyone for his defeat, and he knew very well that the present Arabs were either expanding, and if they stopped expanding, they would fall into decline.

But today's situation gave him a bad premonition.

"Yes caliph, we have discovered important information!" Said began.

"Today we found that the 6,000 mounted cavalry are not elite cavalry, and in the battle with them, we found that there are only 2,000 elite cavalry at most, and the remaining 4,000 are all temporarily transferred, and their martial arts are not even comparable to the infantry on the front line in the early Persian period, if there is no armor on their bodies, they will all be wiped out today." Hasim spoke first.

He and Kaka cut into the battlefield first, so they have the most say in these heavy armored cavalry, those cavalry are not elite, many attacks are not disciplined, but their armor protects them too well, most of their bodies can prevent swords, especially important parts of the body are protected by iron armor.

Their attacks are difficult for the opponent to kill in one blow, but although the opponent fights poorly, it is still possible to fight back desperately and come towards the vital point, and their soldiers do not have iron armor! This means that for the fall of one soldier, they have to pay at least three or four soldiers' bodies to succeed.

In other words, Persia has already drawn all the soldiers, this is their last strength! Hassim commented.

"But we also took all the soldiers!" Caliph Umar said in a deep voice.

"I know, but we discovered the secret of the Persians, and the armor worn by the hoplites that appear later today is not Persian, but the Tang Dynasty! I suspect they bought the armor from Datang! If they can buy it, we can buy it too! Said said quickly.

"Datang!" Umar was shocked, he didn't know anything about Datang, he could be a caliph, Umar's family was very powerful, he had already been in contact with the merchants of Datang, and the merchants of their family had also been to Datang, so he knew very well the strength of Datang.

"Yes! The armor on their bodies should be the Mingguang armor of the Tang Dynasty. Said had the armor brought in from him.

Seeing this armor, Umar was immediately sure that this was the armor of the Tang Dynasty, because their family had related pictures.

"These armors are not easy to get in Datang, not like merchants can buy them, is Datang secretly supporting them?!" Umar asked with a deep breath.

If the Tang Dynasty is supporting Persia, then they will have to think more.

"Impossible, Datang is too far away from here, how can it be inexplicably supporting Persia, only it is possible that they bought these armors from Datang." Said said decisively.

He didn't know the truth, but all he could say was that he had to give the caliph confidence.

"But since they can buy it, we can buy it too." Said said quickly, "We have obtained a large number of gold and silver coins from the hands of those rotten Persian nobles, these gold and silver coins are not of much use to us, we can use them to buy these armor!" ”

"The loss of our war with Persia is that we do not have the same amount of armor as them, we can only fight with the lives of our brothers, and if we had as much armor as them, Isai III would have been captured by us long ago." Said said categorically.

Hearing Said say this, Umar thought about it, it seems that this is indeed the case, Datang is so far away from here, there is no need to participate in their war, only it is possible that Persia bought Datang's armor!

If Persia can buy it, then they can buy it naturally.

Umar immediately said categorically: "General Said is right! We Arabia can't lose Datang either, just as important as we can't lose Jerusalem! I will send someone to contact the merchants of Datang at sea to see if they have really bought armor from the merchants of Datang!" ”

"However, these are all for later, how do you think you should fight tomorrow?" Umar looked at the three.

"Today they attacked us with heavy casualties, tomorrow we will continue to fight for another day, if we find that it will not work, we must retreat, we lack too much armor and weapons." Said began.

"Good!" Umar decisively agreed.

However, what a few of them didn't know was that although 6,000 mounted cavalry entered the battlefield today and caused a terrifying attack on them, there were also 100,000 armor-piercing arrows made of iron arrows that had not had time to enter the battlefield.

And in the same way, Ostam was in ecstasy after receiving 100,000 armor-piercing arrows after nightfall! These 100,000 arrows will dare to attack tomorrow these Arabs, and they will die! With the support of Datang, they will be invincible!

Ostam was already thinking about how to get His Majesty to buy more armor and arrows from Datang.
