    Yusuf's voice was shrill and harsh, almost catching up with the eunuch's voice, and it was also full of panic. In normal times, the generals would have been shocked, but with Yusuf's courage, he would be frightened. This is too difficult for people to understand.  .  ¡·However, at this moment, all the generals were staring at him like dumb geese, dumbfounded.  ??In fact, the fact that the Tang army captured Talos and reached Persia was so unexpected that I didn't believe it even if the generals were beaten to death.  "My lord, how could the Tang army come?" "Yes, the Tang army is still far away, so we should fight." The generals retorted in various directions.  "Far? The Chinese have almost reached Gur. Are they still far away?" Yusuf's eyes were full of anger, and he said angrily: "The Chinese are so cunning that they even use fire attacks. This is to quickly capture Talas."  The only way is. " Yusuf is Yusuf, and he soon understood that fire attack is indeed the best way to deal with Talos.  "Sir, Talas is very big. Even if the Chinese attack with fire and use a lot of fire and oil, it is impossible to capture Talas. We only need to demolish more houses in Talas City to save Talas." The first general among the generals  I was not convinced by Yusuf's judgment.  "Didn't you hear clearly? The Chinese trebuchets can be thrown seven or eight miles." Yusuf's voice turned high and shrill, almost roaring, and said: "Seven or eight miles, north to south, east to west."  Echo, this is fifteen or six miles. Talas is only so big. Even if all the houses are demolished, it is impossible to save it. "Although Talas is very large, with a radius of more than ten or twenty miles, if it were stoned by the Tang Dynasty.  If it can be thrown seven or eight miles.  can be destroyed.  "Sir, no trebuchet can throw it seven or eight miles. Three to five miles is the most." A general reminded quickly.  "Yes. Even our trebuchets can't throw it so far, let alone the Chinese." There was a chorus of agreement.  The trebuchets of the Arab Empire are the best in the world. Even the Arab Empire cannot throw them seven or eight miles. These generals look like they would not believe it even if they were killed.  "Shut up." Yusuf's single eye flashed, like a sharp sword, passing over the generals, and said in a deep voice: "Sun Tzu said, 'Know yourself and the enemy. You can fight a hundred battles without danger.' You have not studied China well and do not understand China.  , If this is the case, you will definitely lose if you fight the Chinese." After a pause, he said: "It is indeed difficult to throw a trebuchet seven or eight miles, but it is not impossible. The Chinese can do this, I believe.  . Because they are Chinese! Since the Qin and Han Dynasties, China has been fighting against the tyrannical Xiongnu, and then the Xianbei, and now there are Turks who have grown up on horses.  Living their lives on horseback, they were skilled in riding and shooting, and came and went like the wind. However, they were all destroyed by the Chinese. Do you know why the Chinese always destroyed their opponents when they were inferior in riding and shooting?  "This question is very profound. Generals, you look at me and I look at you. How can I answer it?"  Muhammad thought for a while, and if he had some enlightenment, he said: "Sir, you mean to say that the Chinese have advanced skills and it is normal to make trebuchets that can be thrown seven or eight miles away?" "That's right."  Yusuf looked at this trusted general with admiration and said: "The reason why China can always destroy nomadic peoples such as the Xiongnu, Xianbei, and Turks even when their cavalry and archery are inferior to their opponents is that the Chinese have advanced skills.  He can always create very powerful weapons to suppress the cavalry and shooting of these nomads." Yusuf is indeed Yusuf. This is so insightful.  If you can say such insights, many Chinese people can't say it, and You Sufu can have such insights, and he has a lot of kung fu on China.  As Yusuf said, our ancestors have always been able to defeat the tyrannical nomads such as the Xiongnu, Xianbei, and Turks. This is because ancient China had the most advanced technology in the world and could create weapons to suppress the nomads.  When we talk about nomads, we will think of growing up on horseback, being skilled in riding and shooting, and being able to live a lifetime on horseback, coming and going like the wind.  For such an opponent, it is very scary. Even if our ancestors trained hard, it would be difficult, if not impossible, to suppress these foreigners who were born to be horsemen and shooters in mounted archery.  Li Guang¡¯s archery skills can suppress the Xiongnu, but there is only one Li Guang in Chinese history, so how useful can he be to the overall situation?  The reason why our ancestors were able to defeat these nomads was that ancient China had the most advanced technology in the world and could make extremely sharp weapons, such as crossbows, which had a farther range than bows and arrows.  Therefore, the accuracy is very high.  Furthermore, each powerful crossbow can fire multiple crossbow bolts at one time, increasing its firepower.  What¡¯s more, this is achieved through mechanicalIt is launched, easy to learn and master, and easy to promote.  It is precisely because of this that it is a joke when the nomadic people¡¯s mounted archery encounters powerful crossbows.  In the Battle of Hetao, Meng Tian invested a large number of powerful crossbows and suppressed the Xiongnu's cavalry and archery; the Han Dynasty invested a large number of powerful crossbows and suppressed the Xiongnu's cavalry and archery and defeated the Huns.  Having said this, some people will definitely retort that the Mongols are nomadic people, how could they destroy the Song Dynasty?  The Song Dynasty had the most developed economy in ancient China, the most advanced technology in the world at the time, and the most sophisticated equipment in the world at the time. However, in the end it was destroyed by alien races because the Song Dynasty was too decadent.  Looking at the Song Dynasty, there was no decent martial arts, which is really disappointing.  When these advanced technologies and sophisticated equipment fell into the hands of the Mongols, the results were very different, and the Mongols used them to conquer Eurasia.  When people mention the Mongolian conquests, they will be shocked that a nomadic people conquered half of the world.  In fact, this is based on the advanced technology of the Han nation. Otherwise, how could the Mongols, who only know how to coil their horses and bend their bows, conquer half the world?  Not to mention anything else, just saying that the siege equipment is the same is enough to stump the Mongols.  The Mongolian cavalry is powerful, but it can only be used for field battles.  How much use can cavalry have in siege warfare?  After Yusuf¡¯s analysis, the generals were hesitant and not yet convinced. ???????????????? You don¡¯t believe it, Yusuf¡¯s words are plausible, but he couldn¡¯t judge the time accurately?  Believe it or not, this is too unbelievable.  "Your wise and great governor, the Chinese have captured Talas. The Chinese attacked with fire" "Your wise and great governor, the Chinese have captured Samarkand and are resting in Samarkand"  "Your Majesty, the wise and great governor, a large number of small Chinese troops entered the territory of Persia, colluded with the pagans, and destroyed everywhere. Granaries, bridges, roads, barracks, everything that could be destroyed was destroyed" At this moment,  A group of scouts came in to report, and a piece of frightening military intelligence came up. The generals looked extremely ugly and had no choice but to believe it.  One person can lie about military information, but if a group of people report the same military information, it must be true.  "Sir, what can we do?" The generals looked shocked. The Tang army must have arrived too fast. It took only a short time to reach the Persian border.  "Muhammad, what do you think?" Yusuf regained his composure after a brief moment of panic.  "Sir, I will borrow a Chinese saying, 'When soldiers come, we will block it, and when water comes, we will stop it.' It's not a big deal." Muhammad pondered for a moment and said: "The war has reached this point. There is no point in giving in. There is only one battle.  "The land of Persia is particularly important to the Arab Empire and cannot be lost.  Once the homeland of Persia is lost, the strength of the Arab Empire will plummet. This war must be fought or fought.  "Well. How to fight?" Yusuf nodded appreciatively.  "Sir, I think that the Chinese are resting in Samarkand just for adjustment, and they will launch a large-scale attack on Persia in three to five days at most." Muhammad, a man who is proficient in military art, hit the nail on the head when he said: "Leave it to us  There is not much time to respond, and a large number of small Chinese troops have entered Persia, and with the cooperation of the pagans, they will definitely prevent us from deploying our troops. Therefore, it is impossible for us to concentrate our troops, so we move near Gur.  The army was mobilized to fight the Chinese. "A small army of the Tang army entered Persia and cooperated with the rebellious people to cause havoc, which would definitely prevent Yusuf from dispatching troops.  It was impossible for Yusuf to gather a large number of troops.  It would be a good idea to mobilize the troops near Ghor.  "Very good." Yusuf nodded heavily, expressed great appreciation, and said, "Let's do it. We will rely on Gur to fight the Chinese. Gur is much bigger than Talos, even if the Chinese  If you want to attack with fire, you have no choice. Well, you have to be prepared for fire. You only need to dig more trenches in the city to divert the fierce fire oil away. " Gur is much larger than Talos, even if Tang Jun wants to.  It is impossible to destroy Gur even if he attacks with fire.  The Arab Empire only needs to do a good job in fire prevention on the periphery to preserve this majestic city.  As soon as the order was passed, the nearby Arab imperial troops gathered in Chagul. ? ? xxxxxxxxxxxx ? Samarkand, the handsome mansion mentioned by Zhang.  Zhang said that he and the generals were gathered together to discuss military aircraft.  "Since marching westward, we have been going very smoothly. We have been fighting smoothly. Not only did we capture Talas, but we also successfully captured the rich land of Samarkand." Zhang said as he glanced at the generals and spoke slowly,  : "However, what I want to warn you is that the nextThe war will not go so smoothly anymore. We will inevitably encounter fierce resistance from Dashi. There will be fierce battles one after another. You must be prepared.  " "Follow the order.  "All the generals accepted the order in unison. "If my prediction is correct, Yusuf will definitely entangle a group of troops and rely on Gur to deal with us.  "Zhang Shuo raised his eyebrows and said loudly: "Gur is the capital of Persia. The city has high walls and thick walls, and it covers an area of ??dozens of miles. It is far larger than Talas. Therefore, it is impossible for us to attack with fire.  .  This battle will be extremely hard.  "With Yusuf's shrewdness, he will definitely respond in this way. "You don't have to worry too much, I have my own way to deal with him.  Zhang said, giving the generals a shot in the arm, he said, "It's time for us to launch a massive attack."  "(To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature, the novels will be better and updated faster!
