Chapter Twenty-Three
Millions of Tang troops advanced south quickly, like a tide, vast and unstoppable.
A huge dark cloud connected the sky and blocked the sky, which was caused by the smoke and dust splashed from horse hooves.
The sound of thunderous hooves was earth-shaking, shaking the ground, as if they could not bear such great power.
News of the arrival of the Tang army had already spread in Persia. When the Tang army entered Persia, it caused a sensation, and countless Persian people came to welcome the Tang army.
"The Tang army is here! The Tang army is finally here! Our hard days are over! We have hope."
"Yes. We have been waiting for the Tang army for decades, and finally we have been looking forward to the Tang army. Haha, our good days are coming."
"If the Tang army had arrived sixty years ago, our country would not have been destroyed by the Big Food Dog, and we would not have had the hard days we are now."
"At that time, the journey was too far, and it was difficult for the Tang army to arrive."
"The road is long? No, if the road is long, why can the Tang army arrive now? I heard that the Tang army did not come back then, not because the road was long, but because the road was too long, but because the road was controlled by the Tang army's mortal enemy, the Western Turks. The Western Turks could not allow the Tang army to pass through its territory."
"Yes, this is the real reason. If the road is long and there is no supply, as long as the Tang army arrives, we will supply the Tang army, so that the Tang army will be rich in food and grass."
"This makes sense. The Tang army is much better than the big-food dog. If the Tang army can come and drive out the big-food dog for us, we will of course be willing to provide the Tang army with supplies, and if we need it, we will give it as much as possible."
Countless Persian people gathered together and discussed it. They were happy for the arrival of the Tang army.
The real reason why Emperor Taizong of Tang refused to send troops was not because the road was too far away. It was because the road was blocked, and the road to the west was controlled by the Western Turks. The Western Turks were the mortal enemy of the Tang Dynasty, so it was impossible for the Tang army to pass through its territory. The long journey was just the reason why Emperor Taizong of Tang refused to send troops.
If the Tang Dynasty really dispatched the Middle East, Persia would solve the problem of food and grass, because everyone knows how to choose between the destruction of the country and the release of food and grass.
Just as we were talking, a shocking sound of hooves came. A huge dark cloud floated quickly. This dark cloud was too big to cover the sky and the sun could not be seen.
"That's the Tang army! The Tang army is here!"
"Welcome the Tang army! Hurry up, welcome the Tang army!"
When the Persian people saw this huge dark cloud, they rushed up like flying and went to greet them. Needless to think about it, this must be the Tang army.
You can see a sea of people from afar, rushing towards you quickly. It has a rush of momentum, giving people an unstoppable sense of oppression.
"What a Tang army! What a majestic formation!"
"The Tang army is so good! Although the Big Food Dog is hateful, I have to admit that the Big Food Dog's army is very impressive and its formation is purged, but compared with the Tang army in front of me, it is still a little worse than the Tang army."
"That's right! The Tang army is worthy of being the Tang army. It can be called from thousands of miles away! It's amazing!"
The people of Persia looked at the Tang army's formation and were shocked because the Tang army's formation was too amazing.
"That's... the king's flag?"
"The King's flag? No?"
"It's really the banner of the king! It's really the king who is back!"
"That's right, that's the banner of our royal family. Our king is back!"
"Our king invited the Tang army to rescue us!"
The one who walked in front was not the Tang army, but the Persian exile members led by the Ni Nishima. They took the banner of the Persian royal family, and the Persian people saw it, were so excited that they were trembling all over, and their voices were trembling.
There is no need to say about the influence of the royal family. Although Persia has been destroyed for sixty years and the Persian royal family has been in exile in the Tang Dynasty for decades, its influence is still there, and the Persian people are still looking forward to their return.
Now, can the Persian people not be excited to see the banner of the Persian royal family?
"The king is back! The king is back!" The Persian people rushed forward as they cried and shouted.
"I'm back! I'm back!" Seeing the excitement of the Persian people, Ni Nishima was so excited that he burst into tears, his whole body trembled, and he shouted loudly at the top of his lungs.
The Persian royal family has been in exile for decades and has been wandering outside, like a rootless duckweed. When he returned to his homeland, it was already exciting. The Nirvana Master was worried that the Persian people would not recognize him. Now, seeing the Persian people’s excitement, this worry no longer exists. The Persian people still love him and hope that the royal family will return.
"We're back!"
"We're back!"
The exiled members who followed the Persian royal family were also excited and roared at the top of their lungs.
Many of these followers are descendants of exiles back then. It was their first time to return to their hometown and they were excited to see the people in their hometown.
The Persian people were enthusiastic and shouted loudly to welcome the royal family members.
At this moment, Tang Jun shouted loudly: "Give up the way! Give up the way! Give up the way!"
"Tang Jun, you came from afar. Thank you for your hard work, stop and rest."
"Yes. You have come from thousands of miles away. We are very grateful to us to save us. Please come to my house to sit down. I have a sister who is not married, so she is so beautiful. Tang Jun, just marry her."
"My daughter is so beautiful. She has not married yet, so she can marry Tang Jun. Tang Jun, please come to my house to get married."
The Persian people did not give way, and they shouted at Tang Jun, all of them were full of joy. It was no problem to send food and drinks, and some people even wanted to marry their sister and daughter to Tang Jun.
This enthusiasm is not ordinary.
"Thank you for your kindness, but the commander has ordered us to move forward quickly and fight the big dog." The Persian people were so enthusiastic that they not only shouted, but also someone was going to bring Tang Jun to their house as a guest, so Tang Jun had to explain.
"Tang army, there are many big-food dogs, and you don't have to hurry to beat big-food dogs. Speaking of big-food dogs, I wish they could die, but to entertain the Tang army, it's okay to kill the big-food dogs later." The Persian people were very enthusiastic. They could temporarily suppress hatred.
"My fellow villagers, you don't know anything. We have strict orders and no military orders or entry into your home. We have appreciated your kindness. Please move out of the way, we must pass, and fight the big food dog."
"Military orders are like mountains, so don't violate them. When we finish fighting the big dog, there is still time to visit your house."
Tang Jun was busy explaining.
"King, tell me about the Tang army and let us treat them well." The Persian people were still unwilling to move out of the way and asked the Ni Nishima to be a lobbyist.
"Thank you for your kindness." The Ni Nie Master said to the Persian people: "I have been in the Tang Dynasty for decades and have a very good understanding of the Tang Dynasty. Their orders are very strict. Without military orders, no one dares to go to your house. Marshal Zhang said that at present, we should focus on fighting big dogs, and as for visiting your house, there are opportunities in the future. Don't miss the opportunity to fight because of being a guest. You all get out of the way."
"Tang Jun is so good! The orders are strict!"
"This is the king's teacher. the benevolent and righteous teacher."
The Persian people were still reluctant, but had to make concessions and said, "Since that's the case, then bring some food and drink."
The Persians gave delicious food, drinks, jewelry and other things to the Tang army, but the Tang army did not accept it, which made them very amazed.
"This is jewelry. If the big food dog sees it, it will pounce on it like a hungry dog seeing a bone. Tang Jun refused to accept it, as if he didn't see it. This order is too strict."
"This is the strictest army I have ever seen in my life!"
"If I hadn't seen such a strict order with my own eyes, I wouldn't have believed that it was true. Tang Jun's order was so strict that no wonder it could have swept across the country."
The Persian people sighed and made way, and the Tang army passed by them, advancing quickly.
Looking at the marching Tang army, the Persian people were reluctant to leave, and some even chased after them.
"I want to join the Tang army! I want to join the Tang army." Some of them had the intention to join the Tang army.
"Yes, join the Tang army." These words ignited the enthusiasm of the Persian people and responded in unison.
"Although I am not good at fighting now, I am familiar with the road. Tang army, I will guide you." The Persian people had a good mind, and when they thought of the most urgent thing for the Tang army, they needed a group of guides.
Tang Jun did not refuse this request, but brought a group of people as guides.
Under the guidance of these Persian people who were familiar with the road, the Tang army marched faster and was unstoppable. Along the way, all the cities that were blocked were captured by the Tang army.
A small city stood in front of the Tang army.
"Tang Army, don't even want to break through." The Arab general who guarded the here said disdainfully.
"Boom!" He answered him with the overwhelming stones. This was the Tang army's catapult showing its power. A rock hit the city, killing many Arab emperors.
"Boom!" Immediately afterwards, the crossbow of chariots showed their might, and a huge crossbow arrow shot towards the city gate.
"Bang chang." Not long after, the city gate was bombarded by a crossbow.
Then, a team of Tang troops attacked the city, Mo Daozhe opened the way, and the other Tang troops followed and began to massacre. The number of Arab Emperor's team was not large, just like more than 2,000 people. They were not the opponent of the Tang army and were soon massacred by the Tang army.
"Start!" After capturing the city, the Tang army did not stop and embarked on the journey again.

An Arab Emperor team transporting food and grass met the advancing Tang army.
"That's... Tang Army? Tang Army is here so soon?"
"No, Tang Jun came too fast."
"The loyal servants of Allah, kill all these Chinese." The generals of the Arab Empire shouted loudly and led the Arab team to intercept them.
"Swish! Swish! Swish!" However, what was greeted by Tang Jun's crossbow.
A crossbow and arrow flew over, shooting deadly and injuring many Arab soldiers.
Then, the Tang army rushed over and overwhelmed. After the Tang army passed, the Arab emperor team here had turned into meat paste, which was caused by the trampling of the Tang army's horse hooves.
In this way, the Tang army swept away.
If you look from the air, you will see a wonder. Millions of Tang troops in Persia, from north to south, flooding Persia like a tide.
