    At this time, Yusuf was like a fighting cock, with a strange light shining in his single eye.  ? With a pat on the back of the horse, he came to the front of the formation and was about to ask General Tang to come out and answer. At this moment, he saw Zhang Yue coming on a horse.  The eyes of the two people were wide open, and their gazes were focused on each other invariably. Their eyes were shining and sliding around each other, as if they wanted to see through each other.  After a while, the two of them nodded in unison, with a lot of appreciation.  "Very domineering, extraordinary in power, with the power to swallow up rivers and mountains, great! Amazing! Amazing!" Zhang said, nodding his head heavily and praising Yusuf without hesitation.  Although Yusuf is ambitious and wants to conquer the Tang Dynasty and enslave China, he can also be admired as an opponent.  This praise was sincere. When Yusuf heard this, he couldn't help being stunned and said: "Thank you, General Zhang, for the compliment. I, Yusuf, have only one eye, a lame leg, a stooped body, and a disdain for others, yet General Zhang actually praised me."  "I, I really can't believe it." Although Yusuf has a notorious reputation, he is an extremely ugly person.  Not only was he blind in one eye, he was also lame in one leg, and his body was stooped, like a hunchback.  It can be said that Yusuf is extremely annoying, and this is just based on his appearance.  Zhang Shuo actually praised him sincerely. As an opponent, Zhang Shuo did not seize his shortcomings and attack him. He was really surprised.  "General Yusuf, with your understanding of the Tang Dynasty, you must know that there is a saying in the Tang Dynasty that 'a hero is not judged by his birthplace.' In the Tang Dynasty, there are no restrictions on family origin. As long as you have talent, as long as you have  If you are virtuous, you will be able to achieve success." Zhang said with a smile: "If a person is good-looking but has no talent and no virtue, his ugliness is far worse than his appearance.  He is broad-minded, talented and virtuous, and he looks down upon all heroes. This is what a general is like." Yusuf bowed to Zhang.  He bowed deeply, with a strange look in his eyes, and said: "I, Yusuf, have been ugly and despised all my life. Only the wise and great Caliph appreciates me. Today, General Zhang's words are the most disturbing to me besides the Caliph."  Thank you for your heart-warming words. "Yusuf's life is full of legend.  Although he is extremely talented.  Far beyond ordinary people, especially his eloquence.  No one is his opponent.  However, his appearance was too ugly, which made him look down upon and looked down upon by others, which made him suffer a lot.  It was almost impossible to support myself, but with the help of my friends, I finally found a teaching position.  It wasn¡¯t until he met Caliph Malik that he rose to prominence and was entrusted with important responsibilities.  With his extraordinary talent, he has made many great achievements, which is why he has the status he has today.  Zhang said that these words touched his heart. Yusuf, who had always been indifferent to emotions and anger, also felt a warm current flowing in his heart: "It's a pity that the general and I are enemies rather than friends. Otherwise, we will become  "We are destined to be enemies, not friends. We can't be friends, but we can appreciate it," Zhang said, shaking his head.  "General Zhang is right! You and I are destined not to be friends, but to be enemies. I can only express my appreciation today." Yusuf nodded heavily and said, "Bring me the wine, I will drink with General Zhang."  "Three cups." "That's what I meant." Zhang said, nodding hard and agreeing happily.  Both of them are outstanding people, and when they meet at this time, they feel a sense of sympathy for each other.  However, the two of them are destined to be enemies, not friends. Being able to drink three glasses of wine before the battle is one of the great pleasures in life.  The soldiers of the Arab Empire brought the wine. Yusuf took it and poured two glasses. He took one himself and handed the other to Zhang.  Zhang said, taking it in his hand, and gestured to Yusuf, saying: "Please!" "Please!" Yusuf raised his glass and drank it up, looking like he was dripping with joy.  Zhang drank it all in one gulp, lit up the bottom of the cup, and said with a smile: "Today I have a drink with the general in front of the battle, and then I risk my life in a battle. It will be a happy life!"  I have never met an opponent. However, if I meet the general today, I will fight with all my strength." Yusuf laughed and said, "If life is like this, what regrets will it have?" The two of them drank two more cups.  Just three glasses of wine.  Zhang said: "I have drunk the general's fine wine, and now I invite the general to drink three glasses of my fine wine as a return gift." With a wave of his hand, the soldiers of the Tang Army came over with the wine flask. Zhang said he took it in his hand, filled two glasses, and took one for himself.  After taking it, he handed the other cup to Yusuf and said: "Please." Yusuf took it in his hand, and when he smelled it, he felt the mellow fragrance. He nodded heavily and said, "I have heard for a long time that China's fine wines are mellow. Sure enough,  That¡¯s true. Please.¡± The two drank three drinks in a row while staring at each other.  "The general traveled a long way"??, you have been on a roll all the way, but your glory will stop here.  "The light in Yusuf's eyes shot out, like a sharp sword, scraping back and forth on Zhang Shuo's body. "The general is ambitious and does not overestimate his own capabilities. He wants to break into the Tang Dynasty and destroy China. It is really a wishful thinking.  Your glory stops at the land beneath your feet.  Zhang said tit for tat and said loudly: "And I will lead the army westward to destroy Dashi."  " "It's useless to talk too much. The truth will be seen in the battle formation.  "Although Yusuf is very eloquent, he may not win when he meets Zhang Shuo. Instead of having a verbal dispute, it would be better to meet him on the battlefield. "As you wish.  "Zhang said, pulling the horse's rein and returning to the formation. Yusuf turned the horse's head and returned to the formation. "Attack!  " "Attack!  " As if they had a tacit understanding, the two issued the order to attack at the same time. So, a battle of attack against attack began. Generally speaking, one side attacks and the other defends. There is no such battle in which both sides attack at the same time.  Just not too much. ¡°Boom!  "The first thing to show off its power was the trebuchets of both sides. Their sound was earth-shattering, even more powerful than the nine-day thunder. Countless huge stones appeared in the air, drawing beautiful parabolas, and went straight towards the opponent's military formation. "The Arab Empire's  The target of the trebuchet is the strong crossbow of the Tang Army. The strong crossbow has a long range, strong penetration, and terrifying lethality. If you want to defeat the Tang Army, you must first kill the strong crossbow.  Timely and accurate. The Arab Empire's trebuchets were very accurate. However, this situation did not last long. The target of the Tang Army's trebuchets was the Arab Empire's trebuchets.  The only thing that can suppress the strong crossbow is the trebuchet. As long as the Arab Empire's trebuchet is killed, the safety of the strong crossbow can be guaranteed. As long as the strong crossbow is fine, the chance of winning this battle will be extremely high. The Arab Empire's heavy cavalry will encounter it.  The crossbow array is just in vain. "Bang!"  Bang!  Bang!  "The Tang Army's trebuchets have a longer range. The stones thrown are as big as millstones. This hit is very powerful and destroyed many trebuchets in the Arab Empire. "The Chinese trebuchets can really throw them so far.  ?  "The generals of the Arab Empire saw this with disbelief on their faces. Although they had received military reports and knew that the Tang Dynasty's trebuchets were even more powerful, they used them to burn Talas. However, when they saw it with their own eyes, they still  I find it incredible. ¡°Muhammad, you lead the heavy cavalry.  Destroy the Chinese trebuchets.  Yusuf's eyes flashed sharply and he ordered loudly. "If the trebuchets of the Tang Dynasty cannot be destroyed, the trebuchets of the Arab Empire will be suppressed. The trebuchet has always been the most powerful long-range attack weapon of the Arab Empire. If it is suppressed,  If it does, it will lose its long-range attack power. Yusuf¡¯s handling is very correct.  "Muhammad responded, leading a group of heavy cavalry and rushing towards the Tang army's trebuchets. "Xue Zhi, lead your army into battle!  Now that they are here, don't let them leave.  "Zhang said, his eyes flashing, he ordered loudly. "Yes.  "Xue Zhi took the order and led the Tang army's cavalry to meet the enemy. "Longlong.  "The charge of the heavy cavalry was earth-shattering, with overwhelming power, coming like a rolling sea tide. The Arab Empire's heavy cavalry held spears in their hands, with thousands of spears pointing forward. At a glance, it looked like a forest of spears. "  The heavily armored cavalry, hand crossbows and bows and arrows were useless. The Tang army's cavalry did not use these two long-range weapons. Instead, they carried their horses and charged against the two heavy cavalry, surging like a sea wave.  Before the two cavalry met, the Tang Army's crossbow formation provided a strong guarantee for the Tang Army's cavalry. "Strong crossbows, let go!"  "With an order, the crossbow formation unleashed its power, and countless crossbow bolts suddenly appeared in the air, like venomous snakes, rushing towards the heavily armored cavalry. "Pfft!  puff!  puff!  "A dull sound of meat was heard, and many heavy cavalry were shot to death and wounded. Many people or horses were skewered into meat skewers. For this kind of heavily armored and extremely heavy unit, the crossbow's  Although the shooting was impressive, it was far from the terrifying level of ordinary soldiers. There were only a few people or horses in the meat skewers. Even so, this round of crossbow shooting still made the Arab Empire heavily armed.  The cavalry suffered many casualties and the formation was in disarray. ¡°How could their crossbows shoot so far?  "Yusuf saw this with disbelief on his face. He wanted to conquer China and enslave China. Naturally, he wanted to work hard on the Tang Dynasty and the Tang Dynasty.The strong crossbow knew very well that it was impossible to shoot so far.  Strong crossbows are the nemesis of heavy cavalry. He specifically wanted Muhammad to stay away from the crossbow formation, but he did not expect that he would still be covered by the crossbow formation.  "Hurry! Charge!" Muhammad was also stunned. However, he was extremely alert and knew very well that when he was not hesitating, the faster he rushed over and fought with the Tang Army's cavalry, the less casualties he would have.  His idea is very good, but it is destined not to be realized.  The crossbow array fired in turns. After one round of shooting, the next round of shooting arrived immediately.  In this way, after several rounds of shooting, the heavy cavalry suffered heavy casualties.  The crossbow formation of the Tang Army was stopped, but the cavalry of the Tang Army arrived. After the horses stabbed them, they started to chop and kill them.  In this slashing, we met our opponents, because the defense capabilities of both sides were amazing.  It goes without saying that the defensive power of the heavy cavalry is very strong. The cavalry of the Tang Army are all wearing Mingguang armor. This is the top armor in ancient times, and its defensive power is extremely good.  Both sides have strong defensive capabilities. If you attack the opponent, the result can be imagined, but the effect will not be great.  However, the Tang Army's cavalry had an advantage in numbers, and after a fight, they finally defeated the heavily armored cavalry.  While the cavalry was fighting, the trebuchets of the Tang Army had completely suppressed the trebuchets of the Arab Empire.  The trebuchets of the Arab Empire were destroyed one after another.  (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature.
