    There were cracks in the city wall, which meant something bad, and Yusuf's face looked extremely ugly.  ?  However, now that the matter was here, there was nothing he could do.  "Great, there are cracks." Tang Jun saw this and burst into cheers.  "Well, it's time to use rocks." Zhang said nodded and gave an order loudly.  The Tang army moved the stones the size of millstones into the bucket of the trebuchet and started to fire it. After a burst of earth-shattering sound, huge stones hit the city wall one after another.  "Bang! Bang! Bang!" An earth-shattering collision sounded. Every time a stone fell, a large piece of it collapsed.  I saw the city wall constantly collapsing, one piece after another falling. In just a short time, there was a thick layer under the city.  Zhang said that he used a trick to make a large furnace underground where this section of the city wall was located. Once the fire was lit, the city wall would have been burned red. If stones were hit again, the city wall would of course be unable to withstand it.  "Okay! It won't be long before we can attack." The generals saw this and were very excited. They all roared as if they were drunk. ?????????????????????????????????????????? away out] originally thought that Gul was easy to defend and difficult to attack, and difficult for the Tang army to conquer, but I didn't expect that with Zhang's plan, all this would not be a problem, and the city wall could be destroyed with a fire.  Zhang said that this plan was indeed a clever one. In theory, the Tang army could burn the entire city with fire.  However, in actual operation, that is impossible because the project is too huge.  However, burning a section of the wall is not a problem.  Just like that, the Tang army's trebuchets showed their power, and huge stones were smashed one after another. The city wall continued to collapse, and it wouldn't take long.  This section of the wall will be destroyed.  The generals of the Arab Empire saw this.  All of them had fire in their eyes.  They thought that the city of Ghor was tall and thick.  It is easy to defend but difficult to attack. If the Tang army wants to conquer it, it will have to pay a huge price.  But he didn't expect that Zhang said he would have such a clever plan, that he could destroy the city wall with a single fire.  Once the Tang army invaded the city, it would be extremely bad for the Arab Empire, because the Tang army's combat power was extremely astonishing.  "Damn the Chinese! They are so scheming. They can break the city like this." "The Chinese are good at scheming. It's true." The generals shouted and cursed the Tang army.  "Stop shouting." Yusuf frowned, with a glint in his single eye, and said: "Zhang said this plan was great, I didn't expect it, it's my fault. Well, Zhang said, it is indeed a great one.  It¡¯s a blessing to be able to fight against such a person in this life!¡± Yusuf is Yusuf, although Zhang said that this plan hit his vitals.  He still has a lot of admiration for Zhang Shuo.  "But, even so, what can Zhang Shuo do to me?" Yusuf changed the topic and said confidently: "Get ready to fight to prevent the Chinese from entering the city." "Sir, how can we fight this when it's so hot?  ?¡± A general asked a very serious practical question.  "Just soak your clothes and wear more." Yusuf said loudly.  "This is wonderful!" You don't need to think about it to know that the Tang Army will rush in as soon as possible, and a battle with the Tang Army is inevitable.  The problem was, it was too hot down there on the wall to engage in battle.  With this method, everything is solved.  After the order was passed, the soldiers of the Arab Empire got their clothes wet, wore thick clothes, held scimitars in their hands, and waited quietly for the Tang army to rush in.  At the same time, Zhang said that he also issued the same order.  For the Tang army, destroying the city wall was just the first step, and there would inevitably be a bloody battle next.  The earlier the Tang army enters the city, the better. If Yusuf is given enough time, he will make arrangements calmly and make the Tang army pay a high price in the next battle.  Therefore, it is better to enter the city quickly.  The first group was led by Xue Zhi and Yang Sixu, because they were both fierce generals.  Xue Zhi is the number one Qianqi, and his bravery goes without saying.  Yang Sixu's muscles and bones are as strong as iron, and his skills are very good, which will be of great use in such a bloody battle.  "Boom!" Finally, a large section of the city wall collapsed, and a gap appeared.  "Charge!" Xue Zhi and Yang Sixu roared, taking the lead and leading the Tang army to charge over.  It was so hot that even if they were wearing thick wet clothes, they couldn¡¯t withstand it for long.  As soon as they entered the fiery place, a white mist rose from their bodies, which was the result of the water being vaporized.  Even so, they couldn't stop them. They ran extremely fast and soon reached the gap and swarmed in.  As soon as they entered the city wall, they encountered the oncoming soldiers of the Arab Empire.  These Arab Empire soldiers, like the Tang army, wore thick wet clothes.  When we meet on a narrow road, the brave one wins!  There is nothing to say. Naturally, there was a big fight. The two armies went back and forth to kill each other. ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?Zhang said that he had anticipated the countermeasures Yusuf might take, and most of the people sent to attack the city were Mo Daoshou.  They held bright Mo Dao in their hands, lined up in a neat battle formation, and slashed, causing heavy casualties to the Arab Empire soldiers.  "Quick! Send more people up!" Yusuf said with a sharp flash in his eyes: "No matter how many people die, we can't let the Chinese get out of this hot area." His idea was very good.  They wanted to block the Tang army in this hot area and use the high temperature to burn the Tang army to death.  This is a good idea, but it cannot be realized because Zhang said he had thought of this a long time ago, otherwise he would not have sent Mo Daoshou to join the battle.  In front of the Modao battle formation, the resistance of the Arab Imperial Army was nothing more than a piece of paper, which was of no use at all. The Tang army fought a bloody path and rushed out of the hot area.  The temperature in the hot zone was too high, so Tang Jun had to rush out before his clothes were completely dry, otherwise, he would be roasted into charcoal.  "Go to the city gate!" Xue Zhi and Yang Sixu ordered loudly.  The Tang army went straight to the city gate while fighting.  Although the city gate was destroyed, it was too hot there and it was impossible for the Tang army to come in on a large scale. They still had to enter through the city gate.  Therefore, capturing the city gate is the first priority.  "Quick, stop them." Yusuf certainly knew what the Tang army was going to do, and ordered the Arab Imperial Army to come and stop them.  It is a pity that the Arab Emperor's army was powerless in front of the Modao battle formation and was rushed to the city gate by the Tang army.  No order was needed, Tang Jun knew what to do and began to move the bags.  These earth bags were used by Yusuf to break chariots and crossbows.  Pile thickly.  Tang Jun really spent a lot of effort.  Then he moved away.  During the period of moving the earthbags, Yusuf commanded the Arab Imperial Army to charge in turns, but was repelled by the Tang army commanded by Xue Zhi and Yang Sixu. He could only watch helplessly as the Tang army emptied the earthbags.  "Hurry! Open the city gate!" Xue Zhi roared, came quickly, led the Tang army, and opened the city gate.  As soon as the city gate opened, the Tang troops who had been waiting outside the city swarmed in.  Like a tidal wave, it cannot be stopped.  The first ones to rush in were the Mo Swordsmen. They held bright Mo Swords, lined up in a neat battle formation, slashed and killed, and beat the Arab Emperor's army back steadily.  After entering the city, there will be street fighting. For street fighting, there is nothing more suitable than the Modao Battle Formation.  As for the cavalry, there are many buildings in the city, which is not conducive to charging.  Of course it is of no use.  Even if it can be used, its combat effectiveness will be greatly reduced.  Far inferior to fighting in the wild.  The role of the crossbow array is limited due to the obstruction of the building.  Modao's battle formation opened the way, and the army followed. The Tang army was like a never-ending wave, pouring in from the city gate.  Then, it divided into many parts and began to spread throughout the city.  Every Tang army used Modao battle formations to clear the way. When the Arab Imperial Army encountered the Tang army, they had no choice but to die.  In terms of overall strength, the Arab Imperial Army is still inferior to the Tang Army.  The biggest difference lies in armor, and the most important thing in street fighting is armor. Whoever can defend against it will have a greater chance of winning.  Because street fighting is a face-to-face encounter, defense is crucial.  In street fighting, if the defense is not good, the consequences can be imagined.  As for the heavy cavalry of the Arab Empire, they were even less useful in street fighting.  Even the light cavalry of the Tang Army could not play a role in street fighting, let alone the heavy cavalry.  Trebuchets are unlikely to be of much use in street fighting because they can take shelter in buildings.  Heavy cavalry and trebuchets are the Arab Empire's main means of attack. These two trump cards are useless, and the Arab Empire will not be at a disadvantage.  Even so, the Arab Imperial Army showed good training, strict orders, and extraordinary courage. Out of loyalty to Allah, no one backed down, but marched forward bravely, fighting life and death with the Tang army.  Because the Modao battle formation was suitable for street fighting, the Tang army fought very bravely and was able to conquer all directions.  However, they encountered stubborn resistance from the Arab Imperial Army, and the street fighting was extremely hard.  As the war progressed, there was more and more blood on the ground.  At first, it was just a pool of blood here and there, then it became a pool of blood, and then it turned into a lake of blood.  Finally, these blood lakes merged together to form blood rivers, flowing toward the lower areas.  As time went by, the blood lake in the lower areas grew larger and larger, and eventually, the entire city turned red and bloody.  If you look at it from the air, you will find that the entire city of Gur is a coquettish red!  This street fight lasted for half a month before it ended.  By the time it was over, the entire Gur was half-destroyed.  No matter what, it was captured by the Tang army, which is very important.  Because Gur is the capital of Persia, it has very important political significance.In terms of political significance, if the Tang army could not capture it, Persia would not be able to recover.  As long as the Tang army captures Gur, Persia will be able to regain its kingdom.  Although it is half destroyed, it can still be repaired.  "It's me, it's me, it's my fault." Yusuf was wounded and exhausted. Looking at the battlefield littered with corpses in front of him, he felt sad and shed tears in his only eye: "I underestimated the Chinese.  , and caused such trouble." Yusuf is in a strong mood, and he can count the number of times he has shed tears in his life.  At this moment, he realized that he had made a big mistake. He should not have been too ambitious and tried to conquer the Tang Dynasty.  "This battle made me understand that there is a huge gap in strength between us and the Chinese!" Yusuf finally understood that although the Arab Empire was great and had ambitions in the Middle East, it did not have the strength to conquer the Tang Dynasty.  History has also proved this. In history, the Arab Empire swept across the Middle East, but it was at a disadvantage after encountering the Tang Dynasty, and was suppressed by the Tang Dynasty for decades.  If it weren't for Talos' unexpected victory, the Arab Empire would have been really lackluster in the war with the Tang Dynasty.  (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature.
