Chapter 21 Massive Attack

Yousuf's voice was sharp and sharp, almost catching up with the eunuch's voice, and it was still panicked. If it were usual, the generals would be extremely shocked. With Yousuf's courage, it would be panicked. This is too difficult for people to understand. However, at this moment, the generals were staring at him like a dumb geese, stunned.

In fact, the Tang army conquered Talas and came to Persia was so unexpected that the generals seemed to be even more convinced that I would not believe it if I was beaten to death.

"Sir, how could Tang Jun call?"

"Yes, the Tang army is still far away, and it's a good time to fight."

The generals retorted in a verbal manner.

"Far away? The Chinese are about to hit Guer, but still far away?" Yousufu's eyes were full of anger and he said angrily: "The Chinese are very tricky and actually attack with fire. This is the only way to quickly defeat Talas."

Yousuf is Yousuf, and he soon realized that fire attack is indeed the best way to deal with Talas.

"Sir, Talas is very big. Even if the Chinese attack with fire and have a lot of hot tincture, it is impossible to take Talas. Just demolish more houses in Talas city to keep Talas." The generals did not believe Yusuf's judgment for the first time.

"Didn't you hear it clearly? The Chinese trencher can throw seven or eight miles." Yusuf's voice turned high, sharp and sharp, almost roaring, saying, "Seven or eight miles, north and south, echoing east and west, this is fifteen or sixteen miles. Talas is just that big, even if all the houses are demolished, it will not be able to be kept."

Although Talas is very large, with a radius of more than ten or twenty miles. If the Tang Dynasty's catapult can throw seven or eight miles, it will be destroyed.

"Sir, how can you throw a catapult from seven or eight miles? Three or five miles are the most." A general hurriedly reminded him.

"Yes. Even our catapult can't throw so far, let alone the Chinese." An echoed voice.

The Arab Empire's catapult is the best in the world. Even the Arab Empire cannot throw seven or eight miles away. These generals do not believe it if they kill them.

"Shut up." Yousuf's single eyes flashed, and like a sharp sword, passing by the generals, and said in a deep voice: "Sun Tzu said, 'Know yourself and your enemy. You will never be defeated in a hundred battles'. You have not studied China well and did not understand China. If this is the case, you will definitely lose when you fight with the Chinese."

He paused a little and said, "It is indeed difficult to throw a catapult seven or eight miles, but it is not impossible. The Chinese can do this, I believe. Because this is the Chinese! Since the Qin and Han Dynasties, China has been fighting against the nomadic peoples in the north. First, the powerful Huns, then the Xianbei, and now there are Turks. All of these nomadic peoples have grown up on horseback since childhood and can live their lives on horseback. They are skilled in riding and shooting, coming and going like the wind, but they are all destroyed by the Chinese. Do you know why the Chinese always destroy their opponents when riding and shooting is worse than their opponents?"

This question is very profound. Everyone is looking at me, and I look at you, where can I answer it?

Muhammad thought about it, realized something, and said, "Sir, what do you mean is that it is normal for Chinese people to have developed skills to create a catapult that throws seven or eight miles away?"

"That's right." Yousuf looked at the confidant general with appreciation and said: "The reason why China can always destroy the nomadic peoples such as the Huns, Xianbei and Turks when riding and shooting is inferior to their opponents is that the Chinese have developed skills and can always create powerful weapons to suppress the riding and shooting of these nomadic peoples."

Yousuf is worthy of Yousuf, and this is so insightful.

Many Chinese people can't say such insightful words, but Yusuf actually has such insight, and he has put a lot of effort into China.

As Yousuf said, our ancestors were always able to defeat powerful nomadic peoples such as the Huns, Xianbei and Turks because China had the most advanced technology in the world in ancient China and could create weapons to suppress nomadic peoples.

When we mention nomadic peoples, we will think that we have grown up on horseback and are skilled in riding and shooting, and can live our lives on horseback, coming and going like the wind. For such an opponent, it is very terrible. Even if our ancestors train hard, it is not impossible to suppress these alien races who are born rider shooters on horseback and shooting, but it is very difficult.

Li Guang's archery technique can suppress the Huns, but Li Guang is only one in Chinese history. How useful can it be for the overall situation?

The reason why our ancestors could defeat these nomadic peoples was that ancient China had the most advanced technology in the world and was able to make extremely sharp weapons, such as powerful crossbows, whose range was farther than bows and arrows, and because of its equipment "Wangshan", it had very high accuracy.

Moreover, each powerful crossbow can fire multiple crossbow arrows at a time, which enhances firepower.

More importantly, this is launched through machinery, easy to learn and master, and is easy to promote vigorously.

It is precisely because of this that the riding and shooting of nomadic peoples encountered strong crossbows, which was a joke. Meng Tian invested a large number of powerful crossbows in the Battle of Hetao, suppressing the cavalry of the Huns; the Han Dynasty invested a large number of powerful crossbows, suppressing the cavalry of the Huns and defeating the Huns.

Speaking of this, some people will definitely refute that the Mongols were nomadic peoples, so how did they destroy the Song Dynasty?

The Song Dynasty had the most developed economy in ancient China, the most advanced technology in the world at that time, and the most exquisite equipment in the world at that time, but in the end it was destroyed by foreign races because the Song Dynasty was too corrupt. Looking at the Song Dynasty, there was no decent martial arts, which was really sighing.

When these developed technologies and excellent equipment fell into the hands of the Mongols, the result was very different, and the Mongols conquered the Eurasian continent.

When people talk about the conquest of the Mongols, people will be shocked that a nomadic nation has conquered half of the world. In fact, this is based on the developed technology of the Han people. Otherwise, the Mongols who can only curl horses and bend their bows can conquer half of the world?

Not to mention anything else, just talking about siege equipment is enough to stump the Mongols. The Mongols' cavalry are powerful, but they can only be used to fight field battles. How much place can cavalry use in siege battles?

After Yousof's analysis, the generals believed it and had not yet believed it.

If you don’t believe it, Yousuf is so proud that he can’t make a judgment?

It's too unbelievable to say that you believe it.

"After the wise and great governor, the Chinese conquered Talas. The Chinese attacked with fire..."

"After the wise and great governor, the Chinese have conquered Samarkand and are resting in Samarkand..."

"After the wise and great governor, a large number of small Chinese troops entered Persia, colluded with pagans, and destroyed them everywhere. Granaries, bridges, roads, barracks, and those that could be destroyed were destroyed..."

At this moment, a group of scouts came in to report, and the terrifying military information came up. The generals' faces were extremely ugly and they had to believe it.

One person can lie about military affairs, but a group of people report the same military affairs, it must be true.

"Sir, what should I do?" The generals were shocked. The Tang army was coming too fast. It was only a matter of time before they arrived at the Persian border.

"Mohammed, what do you think?" Yusuf returned to his calmness after a brief panic.

"Sir, I will borrow a Chinese saying, "Soldiers come to block the generals, and water comes to the local trunk." This is no big deal." Muhammad pondered slightly and said, "The war has reached the present moment. It is useless to give in, and there is only one battle."

The land of Persia is particularly important to the Arab Empire and cannot be lost. Once the land of Persia is lost, the strength of the Arab Empire will plummet. If you don’t fight in this battle, you have to fight, and you have to fight.

"Hmm. How to fight?" Yousuf nodded in admiration.

"Sir, I finally think that the Chinese rest in Samarkand is just for adjustment, and will launch a large-scale attack on Persia at most three or five days." Mohammed, a man who is proficient in military affairs, said in a word: "There is not much time left for us to respond, and a large number of Chinese small armies enter Persia. With the cooperation of pagans, it will inevitably obstruct us from dispatching troops. It is unlikely that we will concentrate our troops. Therefore, we will mobilize the troops near Gur and fight with the Chinese."

A small group of Tang army troops entered Persia and cooperated with the rebellious people to carry out major destruction. It would definitely prevent Yousuf from dispatching troops. It would be impossible for Yousuf to concentrate a large number of troops.

It would be a plan to mobilize the troops near Gur.

"Very good." Yousuf emphasized the key points and praised them, saying, "Just do it like this. We will rely on Gul as a support to fight the Chinese. Gul is much more than Talas, and even if the Chinese want to attack with fire, they are helpless. Well, they have to be prepared for fire prevention. Just dig more ditches in the city to lure the strong turbulent oil away."

Gur is much bigger than Talas. Even if the Tang army wants to attack with fire, it is impossible to destroy Gur. The Arab Empire only needs to protect the fire outside to protect this heroic city.

As soon as the order was passed, the nearby Arab team gathered at Gul.

Samarkand, Zhang said the mansion of the general.

Zhang said that he was gathered with the generals and was discussing military aircraft.

"Since we advanced westward, we have been very smooth all the way, not only conquering Talas, but also successfully captured the rich land of Samarkand." Zhang Shuo glanced at the generals and spoke slowly, saying, "But what I want to war you is that the next battle will not go so smoothly again. We will inevitably be fiercely resisted by the Dashi. There will be one fierce battle after another. You must be prepared."

"Abide by the order." The generals accepted the order in unison.

"If I expected it was right, Yousuf would definitely be tangled with a group of troops and rely on Gul to deal with us." Zhang Shi raised his eyebrows and said loudly: "Gul is the capital of Persia. The city is tall and thick, and it covers an area of ​​dozens of miles, far exceeding Talas. Therefore, it is impossible for us to attack with fire. This battle will be extremely hard."

With Yusuf's shrewdness, he would definitely deal with it like this.
