Looking at the fire burning in Suiye City, black smoke has already shot straight into the sky. It is obvious that the Anxi Army has burned all the materials that can be burned. Even if Suiye City is captured, the Arab army will not be able to get even a little bit of supplies.
Ye Qide understood that he must capture Suiye City as soon as possible. While boosting morale, he quickly found the next target so that the Anxi Army would be caught off guard and unable to burn the city here in time.
Otherwise, even if the Arab army wins consecutive battles but does not receive sufficient supplies, there will be a big problem
That night, Ye Qide was stationed in a tent on the Yang side of the mountain.
The Arab soldiers in the camp were gearing up after having dinner, while the soldiers who were responsible for the first round of siege rested in the camp to recharge their batteries.
However, Suiye City, thirty miles away, remained silent. Only the thick smoke inside the city still billowed straight into the sky, covering most of the stars in the sky.
Ye Zide was not sleepy at all, so he asked someone to make a pot of tea from the Tang Dynasty, and sat alone in the tent, feeling quite uneasy.
Khorassan has already led the "Sword of Allah" to set off and detour to the rear of Suiye City. When the army launches a general attack, they will wait for an opportunity to cover up the enemy from behind, break through to the west city of Suiye City in one fell swoop, and launch a fierce attack on the west wall. With the tyrannical fighting power of the "Sword of Allah", even if it cannot defeat the enemy completely, it is not difficult to retreat without hesitation. After all, the Anxi army is weak and has to guard key points in the Western Region. It is impossible to concentrate its forces in Suiye City. Fight a "win or lose" battle with the Arab army.
But he still felt frightened, fearing that something had gone wrong.
Without him, the "Sword of Allah" is too important as a symbol of the Arab Empire. Almost the entire Arab world regards the "Sword of Allah" as the foundation of his father's empire. With the "Sword of Allah" around, even those who dream of overthrowing their father's caliphate do not dare to act rashly.
However, once the "Sword of Allah" is broken in the Western Region, my father's rule will be shaken immediately.
Ye Zide thought about it over and over again, but could not imagine that the Anxi Army was capable of encircling and suppressing the "Sword of Allah", but the uneasiness in his heart never dissipated.
?Perhaps it¡¯s because the Anxi Army in Suiye City was too quiet and unnatural?
Ye Zide took a sip of tea, shook his head, and looked heavy.
He is not underestimating the enemy, but after much calculation, he really can't figure out how the Anxi Army can resist the Arab army that is several times larger than it, and then defend the Western Region when its troops are weak and cannot receive support from Chang'an.
This is a war that is destined to win or lose from the beginning. There may be some minor accidents along the way, but they will never lead to a reversal of the outcome.
He even took the Changsun family¡¯s intentions and reactions into consideration.
The Changsun family wanted to use the help of the Arabs to cause turmoil within the Tang Dynasty, make the situation tense, and then seize power and interests. They are not afraid of the Arabs stationed in Guanzhong. Even if hundreds of thousands of Arab troops capture Yumen Pass and enter the hinterland of the Tang Dynasty, how many people will be left in the face of the constant harassment and fighting by the Tang army? Even if a small number of people entered Chang'an City, they would only be able to plunder and retreat to the west. It would be impossible to invade the entire territory of the Tang Dynasty.
The Changsun family understands this, and so does Ye Qide himself.
What Ye Qide wanted was just to achieve an unprecedented achievement by conquering Chang'an, and then looting and plundering all the wealth hidden by the Han nobles.
No matter how arrogant and arrogant he is, he also knows that the Han people who have been in the East for thousands of years are not that vulnerable. Once the enemy threatens their homeland, they will inevitably burst out with strong fighting power, and even the entire people will join the army and fight to the death.
There are still differences within the Arab Empire. How can it possibly occupy the entire Tang Dynasty?
¡¡
As midnight approached, the noise outside the tent gradually grew louder, and the entire camp was filled with restlessness and heat. The Arabs have been in battle for a long time, conquering the east and west across the world. However, in recent years, the empire's territory has gradually stabilized, and large-scale wars have rarely been launched.
In the surrounding countries, except for the impregnable Constantinople, there is no city where the Arab army can kill and plunder wildly.
Now that we have arrived in the Western Region, we are about to conquer the prosperous Tang Empire and occupy the entire Silk Road. How can those soldiers who love war and plunder the most not be inexplicably excited and have high morale?
The curtain of the camp tent was opened, and the generals filed in one by one and stood in several rows in front of Ye Zide, with those with higher military ranks in front and those with lower ranks behind.
Ye Zide looked at the imperial general in front of him awkwardly, feeling a little emotional in his heart.
Arabia has the bravest warriors, but the ordnance and equipment are obviously not suitable for themof bravery. Except for swords, arrows, shields and other weapons, the Arab army is extremely short of armor. The heavy cavalry responsible for assault missions and the "Sword of Allah" responsible for guarding the caliphate can be equipped with some armor, but most of the other soldiers are just Ordinary clothing.
Even these generals in front of them only have an extra layer of leather armor to protect their vital points.
The last time he accompanied his father on an expedition to the Western Regions, he saw with his own eyes the excellent equipment of the Tang army. There were so many people wearing armor, and they were often hit by arrows and blades without any problems. But the heroic Arab army could only wear kudzu clothes to face the sharp arrows and powerful firearms of the Tang people.
But fortunately, the Arab warriors are the best warriors in the world. They have the guidance of the prophets to conquer the world, and they have never been afraid of death
"Commander, the army has been reorganized and can launch a general attack at any time."
"very good."
Ye Zide put down the tea cup, stood up with a smile on his face, and asked the servant to help him put on his armor.
Then he led a group of generals out of the camp.
The sky is filled with stars, the silver and silver are shining brightly, and the cool wind blows in front of his face, making Ye Qide feel energetic.
In the darkness, countless torches were lit, and densely packed soldiers gathered under the torches. Only the dark shadows could be seen, standing endlessly on the earth. The swords and arrows flashed with cold light, and the shouting and shouting sounds were as turbulent as the ocean tide. Pengbai.
This is the invincible army on earth!
Ye Zide was so ambitious that he waved his hand and shouted: "Ahead is one of the most important cities on the Silk Road. You must capture it quickly so that the empire can occupy the wealth of the Silk Road and let the glory of the prophet shine. Let all the tribes in this land tremble at the feet of the caliph!"
"Boom!"
When the nearby soldiers heard his impassioned speech, they were so excited that they couldn't help themselves. They raised their arms and shouted wildly. The sound was like a tsunami, sweeping across the earth and rising into the sky.
Ye Zide pulled out the scimitar he wore on his waist and raised it high: "Start the war!"
"Start the war!"
¡°Woooooo¡ª¡ª¡±
The long sound of the horn resounded across the Gobi desert, and countless Arab soldiers, eyes red with excitement, rushed towards Suiye City in the distance. The footsteps of tens of thousands of people almost covered up the sound of the horns. All the people and horses ran with all their strength. The momentum was like a mountain collapsing and the earth was cracking. Even the earth was trembling slightly.
Ye Qide stood tall with his chest high, his ambition high and his blood boiling!
Countless Arab warriors obeyed his orders and fearlessly charged towards the powerful enemy. They knew that they would encounter a heavy rain of arrows and firearms from the Anxi Army in front of them, but they still did not hesitate or panic.
This is the most extreme power in the world!
No wonder countless heroes throughout the ages are willing to follow this power to the death, even at the cost of disowning their relatives!
Once you have tasted the feeling of commanding thousands of troops and no one dares to disobey, who can give it up?
Countless Kongming lanterns quickly rose from the top of Suiye City in the distance. These lanterns were tied by ropes and floated in mid-air beyond the reach of arrows. The light shone down all around Suiye City.
At a distance of thirty miles, the Arab army rushing with all its strength suddenly arrived.
"boom!"
A muffled sound like thunder sounded, followed by a black cloud rising from the top of Suiye City. It was a rain of arrows shot by thousands of defenders who drew their bows and fired volleys. The dark cloud first flew upwards, then began to fall after a certain distance, pouring down like a heavy rain on the heads of the charging Arab troops.
"Puff puff"
The Arab soldiers who were running wildly could only hear the sound of sharp arrows piercing through clothing and leather armor and then shooting into the robes and bodies around them.
It is the soul-shrinking sound coming from the devil.
Countless charging Arab soldiers were like fallen wheat under a heavy rain. After being hit by arrows, they fell to the ground, tripping over the robes behind them, and then being trampled under the feet of the robes rushing up from behind.
Blood splattered and screams filled the sky.
