Chapter 12 The Battle of Taros (Part 2)

Yang Sixu's voice was cold and quiet, as if he came from the underworld of Jiuyou, as if King Yama had sentenced to death. However, it caused ridicule among the generals of the Arab Empire.

"Haha! I'm so laughing! I'm so laughing!"

"Talas is extremely strong. Everyone knows that it is easy to defend but difficult to attack. He actually said he wanted to do something in one go. He is arrogant!"

"Yes! It's just arrogance! I've seen arrogance, but I've never seen such arrogance!"

"The Chinese have always been arrogant, so we have seen it."

"If he can conquer Talas in one go, I will jump off the top of the city."

The generals shouted in unison, roaring like a funny joke they had ever heard in their lives.

Gu Taibai also found it funny, and then thought, something was wrong. Who is Yang Sixu? He was a ruthless man, a wise and ruthless man. Although he was ruthless, he was ruthless and wise, and would not say such things for no reason. Since he said that, he must have a success.

"But, what should he do?" Gu Taibai couldn't help but think about it, just because he couldn't figure out what Yang Sixu relied on.

The ridicule of the generals is not unreasonable, but very reasonable. You should know that Talas is strong, easy to defend and difficult to attack. If the Tang army wants to capture Talas, it will be time-consuming and labor-intensive and cost a considerable price. Yang Sixu actually said that he would attack in one go, which is like a fantasy.

However, with Yang Sixu's cleverness, if he had not made up his mind, he would not have said that.

This question is a bit inconsistent, and Gu Taibai naturally couldn't understand it. Soon, he knew the answer.

After Yang Sixu finished speaking, he ignored the ridicule of the generals of the Arab Empire. He pulled his horse's head and returned to his original formation and ordered loudly: "Take the stone, prepare."

Tang Jun took action and began to assemble the catapult. A series of catapults like ancient ferocious beasts were assembled and stood in the local area, like ferocious beasts who wanted to choose people to eat.

"Takes? Haha! I'm so laughing. The Chinese want to use the casting to capture Talas? Don't think about it!"

"If it is a strong crossbow, the Chinese have an advantage, so they can talk about catapults. The Chinese have to apprentice us and let us teach them how to make catapults."

"The trencher is to smash the city wall by throwing stones. After we strengthened the city wall, we tried it with our most powerful trencher. There is nothing wrong. How can the Chinese trencher do our trencher?"

The generals of the Arab Empire almost burst into laughter when they looked at the Tang army's catapult.

Speaking of trenchers, the Arab Empire's trenchers are the best in the world. If the Arab Empire recognizes second, no one dares to recognize first. In this regard, the generals have absolute confidence.

The Arab Empire had a lot of experience in using the catapult. They all believed that using the catapult would not be able to smash the walls of Talas, so Talas was as stable as Mount Tai.

"Okay, Yang Sixu, I was shocked." Gu Taibai saw it and let out a long sigh, and his heart was finally relieved.

Based on his understanding of Yang Sixu, he was a smart and cruel man. He would not say anything to conquer Talas for no reason. Gu Taibai always thought that Yang Sixu had some wonderful ideas, but he did not expect that he would use a trench machine. Now, Gu Taibai was completely relieved.

However, not long after, his heart hangs again.

The Tang army invested a lot of catapults, but not less than a thousand. Moreover, the Tang army's catapults were not deployed in one direction, but were deployed from all directions.

"Haha! The Chinese are so laughing so hard! They can't even use a slasher!"

"Chinese, listen to it: I tell you that the catapult is not used in this way, it must be used in a concentrated manner. Will you? You can spread the catapults to all directions, which is useless."

"The Chinese are so stupid. I have never seen anyone so stupid when using a catapult like this!"

The generals of the Arab Empire saw it and mocked them all, with all kinds of unpleasant words.

Although the catapult is not weak, it has its fatal weakness, which is that it is too bulky and difficult to transport. Moreover, its "fire power" is not dense enough. Each time it is shot, it can only shoot a few stones, and sometimes it can only throw one stone.

If used in such a dispersed manner, the "firepower" will be even weaker and the power will be greatly reduced.

"Yang Sixu, smart people sometimes do stupid things." Gu Taibai shook his head and smiled on his face.

He was finally sure that Yang Sixu, a smart man, did something stupid.

Everyone knows that the catapult must be used in a concentrated manner. If Yang Sixu concentrated so many catapults to use, it would really cause trouble for Gu Taibai. Because if enough stones hit, the city wall will definitely be damaged, and it may not be destroyed, and enough damage will inevitably occur.

"Hard turbulent oil, head to the top of the city, boom!" Yang Sixu's eyes shone brightly and his right hand shook heavily.

"Boom!" Amid the earth-shaking roar, the catapult began to show its power.

A jar of hot tincture, that is, oil, was placed on the hopper, and after igniting, it was thrown to the top of the city.

Tang Jun's catapult was made by mechanical knowledge guided by Li Longji. It not only has a longer range, greater power, but also has higher accuracy. The most powerful ignition tank of 100 is smashed on the top of the city and sputtered. Wherever the hot ignition oil flows and burns, there will be a sea of ​​fire on the top of the city.

"Hard turtle oil?" The generals of the Arab Empire looked suspicious: "How could the Chinese use hammer turtle oil?"

Fierce turbulent oil, also known as oil, has been used to attack cities since ancient times. However, the amount used is small and it will not be so much. Not to mention that thousands of catapults are all shot out fierce turbulent oil like the Tang army.

"Can he want fire attack?" Gu Taibai was different. He is worthy of being a good general. He soon thought of something and was a little surprised.

What happened next confirmed his speculation.

The Tang army's catapult continued to show its power, and the fierce turbulent oil was constantly thrown to the top of the city. The entire city was swallowed by flames and could no longer stand. The Arab Emperor team had to retreat.

"Where are Chinese people doing crazy?"

"How could they be so endless and still ejecting harsh oil?"

The generals of the Arab Empire saw it and asked in confusion.

Where can they answer this question? They are all confused.

"No! Prepare the soil quickly." Gu Taibai was sure. His guess was correct, and the Tang army was going to attack with fire.

However, if you attack with fire, it will really hit Talas's vitals. As long as the Tang army had enough tinder oil, it could ignite the buildings in the city and turn Talas into a sea of ​​fire.

By then, Talas will be transformed into ruins. Not only will the 100,000 Arab emperors garrison here die, but the people in the city die. In one sentence, it will be the answer to Yang Sixu's words, "Don't leave a living mouth."

In order not to make the fire successful, you can only extinguish the fire. To extinguish the fire, it is best to use soil.

"Dirt?" The generals looked confused.

"The Chinese are so cruel. They want to attack with fire." Gu Taibai's face changed drastically, and he explained to the generals, saying, "As long as the Chinese have enough hot tincture, they can turn Talas into ruins. I have calculated it so much, but I haven't calculated that the Chinese will attack with fire."

"Ah!" The generals' faces changed drastically, and they exclaimed in unison, and the ridicule just now disappeared.

Just now, they were still mocking the Tang army for not using a catapult, but now they understand. Only then did they know how stupid they were.

"There is already a sea of ​​fire above the city. If our people can't get up, the catapult is useless." Gu Taibai regretted it very much. If he had understood it earlier, he could use the catapult to suppress the Tang army's catapult.

However, he didn't know that the Tang army's trencher had a longer range than the Arab Empire's trencher, and even if he wanted to suppress it, it would be useless.

"Now, we can only take more soil and extinguish the fire." Gu Taibai shouted loudly: "Hurry up, get the soil."

"Sir, where are we going to get soil at this time?" A general complained with a bitter face: "This is in the city, the ground is solid and very hard. It will take time to break through the ground to get soil."

This is in the city, not outside the city, and it is not convenient to obtain soil.

Because the ground in the city has been rammed and very hard, it takes time to open the ground. In this situation, the Tang army will not give them more time.

"Huh!" Gu Taibai wanted to slap this talkative general in the face, but he had to admit that he made sense, so he had to take a long breath, force himself to calm down, and said, "Get the earthblocks that block the city gate, and surround the city first, and be sure not to let the strong turbulent oil flow out."

The harsh turf will burn wherever it flows. If it flows to the building, the consequences will be unimaginable.

"It's still wise! I prepared the landlord first." A general was overjoyed and quickly praised him.

"After all, there are not many landbags. If you want to encircle the city wall, it is not enough." Some generals were very sober.

"It's okay to soak your clothes in water." Gu Taibai immediately thought of a solution.

"Sir, why don't we spread the soil?" A general thought of a self-righteous approach.

As we all know, when encountering oil, water is useless because oil will float on the water surface. Therefore, using soil is a way to bury oil underneath.

"You don't think about it. If the Chinese want to turn Talas into ruins, will there be less hot tincture oil prepared? You can lay a layer of soil and put out the fire, which is only temporary and will eventually flow back and cause a big fire." Gu Taibai wished he could slap this general twice in the face, and he wanted to get such a stupid method.

Indeed, the generals no longer dared to make any suggestions and went to deal with it.

Not long after, the soil was moved in and a "dike" began to be built outside the city wall. If there was not enough soil, I finally built a long "dike" with my clothes.

"Hu." Gu Taibai let out a long sigh and relieved his hungry heart.

As long as he can temporarily block the ignition oil, he will have a way to get the soil and strengthen the "dike" so that the ignition cannot flow out.

However, before he could finish his breath, he saw countless stones smashing open, smashing the "dike" and storing oil flowing out like fire dragons, pounced towards the building.

"Not good! Nothing good!"

"Qianbai Fire Head, what should I do?"
