Not an illusion

The rumbling sound is getting louder and closer,

Tang army is attacking

Ziad sneered in the darkness. He had encountered such a method of night attack, nor had he used it. He was very familiar with it.

He had long judged that the only way for the Tang army to win was to attack at night. Otherwise, after the war began tomorrow, he would not need to really attack the city. As long as he surrounded the city and cut off its supplies, the Tang army would collapse without fighting in about ten days.

After all, it was still that during the Battle of Talas, he seized too much Tang army supplies. By interrogating prisoners of war, he knew that the Tang army's current supplies would last for ten days at most, and even if there were still supplies in the back, they could not be transported into taxes to build the city.

What he could think of was that young general of the Tang Army. Since that is the case, the only way to break this situation was to attack at night.

The rumbling sound became louder and louder. At this time, even if the entire army had not had a warning, they would be awakened.

Ziad couldn't help but frown: Ye Changba was so loud, could it be... not for night attacks?

Just to cover up the real night attack? Or do you have any other plans?

No matter what Ye Chang had plans, Ziyad had made up his mind. With his advantage in the army, he would definitely make the Tang army break out and repeat the mistakes under the city of Talas.

He thought so in his mind, and the generals of the river in the other side were also whispering.

"Your Excellency General has sent someone to call us up long ago. As expected, he was prepared. This time, Tang Jun is afraid that he will hit the iron plate?"

"No wonder, if Gao Xianzhi led the army, he would definitely not have made such a mistake, but now it is Ye Chang... What's this thing? Has anyone heard of this person?"

"I have heard that the envoy who went to Chang'an City to pay tribute the same year ago told me that the son-in-law of the prime minister of Tang Dynasty, Li Linfu, was named Ye Chang..."

"I also know that he is Li Linfu's son-in-law, isn't this nonsense?"

"I heard from me that he was very profitable and could build roads. It is said that he built a rut between Chang'an and Luoyang, which made the carriage leave from Chang'an in the morning, and it took 800 miles to arrive in two days and one night. This was a carriage that was loaded with a large cart of goods."

"That's a capable person. I don't know what happened to the war. To be honest, the battle during the day was too stupid. How could he use cavalry to attack the Tang army formation? That kind of formation cannot show how capable Ye Chang is."

These whispers also came to Ziad's ears, but Ziad turned a deaf ear. He felt something was wrong at this moment. Ye Chang made such a loud noise, afraid that he would not know it. It looked like it was not like a night attack, but rather like it was about to cover up something...

What exactly is he covering up?

In the city of Jianjian, Gao Xianzhi finally made up his mind. He grabbed the hilt of the knife and whispered: "Li Siye is not reliable either. Now we can only rely on us... He said that Ye Chang has gained the morale of the army, but I don't believe it. I have taken the Anxi army for several years, but I dare not say that I have gained the morale of the army. Ye Chang can gain the morale of the army by just sharing some land and houses, empty words and white teeth and promises?"

All of his confidants nodded. They knew very well that Ye Chang could kill Zheng Dequan, and if Gao Xianzhi could not turn the situation back, they would have no future in Anxi.

"Ye Thief said at this time that he had an action tonight, but it was just a night attack on the camp. If Ziyad could defeat me, how could he not be prepared to attack the camp? He would go this time to bring shame on himself. It would be a trivial matter if he lost. If Ziyad took the opportunity to counterattack the city, then the Tang Dynasty's career west of the Pamir Mountains will be destroyed in the hands of this greedy young man." Gao Xianzhi said again: "Everyone, follow me to fight out. Anyone who dares to stop me will be allowed to kill you without mercy."

"From Li Wan's fight, that guy is just a minor official in the army. Looking at the warehouse is all his skills, but now he is here to control us," said a close confidant.

"Yes, kill Li Wan and sacrifice the sword" another close confidant said.

They were detained in this big mansion by Li Wan these days. Although they were full and warm, they were scolded and scolded by this little official who had never looked down upon in the past. They were all very resentful.

"Take it off" Gao Xianzhi said.

He had heard it a long time ago, and there was no sound outside, so he chose to take action at this time. In his opinion, since Ye Chang had left the city, the city would inevitably relax its defense against him.

The door was carefully pushed open, and a confidant took the knife and came out to the street outside. Everyone came out in a row, but after escaping and walking a few steps towards the military camp, they all settled down.

In the darkness, there were shadows in the alley ahead, and dozens of people holding crossbows were aiming at them.

The torch lit up immediately, Li Wan tilted her palm fan and smiled and said, "There are so many mosquitoes outside, Doctor Gao, are you still interested in coming out to cool off?"

Gao Xianzhi was mentally prepared for this, but it was obviously not Li Wan's ability to set up an interception silently.

"Where is Ye Chang's son? Let him come to see me." Gao Xianzhi said in a deep voice.

"As expected by Ye Zhongcheng, I knew that Doctor Gao would take advantage of his opportunity to leave the city to take risks. Ye Zhongcheng had an order that whenever he stepped out of this courtyard, it would be the word "death"

Gao Xianzhi shouted in a daze: "You dare"

He cried, but he could not stop the people around Li Wan. Dozens of bows and crossbows flew together, arrows whizzed, screaming endlessly. When the arrows waited, when Gao Xianzhi looked back, all his confidants around him had fallen to the ground and died so much that they could not die again.

He is the only one.

"You...you...you...are so brave"

"Doctor Gao, you killed them. You don't know what Ye Zhongcheng gave. Ye Zhongcheng was away and died, but you were thinking about seizing his military power. Who is more courageous and more shameless?" Li Wan cursed angrily: "In Li's intention, you are just like a bird, you are just shooting and killing them together, but Ye Zhongcheng wants to keep your life and say it is useful... What's the use of keeping you? Wasting food."

"I fought bloody battles in Talas. Didn't Ye Chang seize my military power in Anxi and Baishiling? Is he able to do it, I can't do it?" Gao Xianzhi was a general after all, so he was not afraid: "If you have the courage, kill me, otherwise I will avenge this hatred."

"You are fighting bloody? You are clearly sending your brothers to die in Anxi. Ye Zhongcheng reminded you that Grolu is unreliable. In order to remind you in person, he rushed from Chang'an to Kucha, and almost sleeplessly, how did you treat him? What's more, you left a big mess outside Talas. If Ye Zhongcheng had not been properly cleaned up, he would have been nowhere to be like this. You still have the face to come to Ye Zhongcheng to compare with Ye Zhongcheng.

Li Wan tear her face and cursed her, but she had a bit of Li Bai's style. She cursed her so hard that she almost vomited blood. However, Gao Xianzhi understood very well that her situation was over, so she could only ask for some advantage in words.

"Idiot, just be happy, be crazy, do you think Ye Chang will succeed in this night attack? Bah, he must be going to die this time. Maybe his first result will be in Ziad's hands now. By then, I see how you, a villain, ended with success."

"Who is idiot will know when it's dawn. Ambassador Gao, don't think that Ye Zhongcheng is as stupid as you." Li Wan smiled again.

He is one of the few people who know Ye Chang's overall arrangements, so he has strong confidence in this night attack.

"What, what tricks does he have?" Gao Xianzhi couldn't help asking.

Ye Chang ate him so hard that it wouldn't be too stupid. If he really went straight to launch a night attack, there must be other arrangements. So what is this arrangement?

As he asked, he suddenly heard a thunder outside, and then thousands of troops galloped, the earth also vibrated. Gao Xianzhi was so shocked by the sound that he retreated repeatedly, and was tripped by the body of a confidant, hit the wall, and fell down.

"This is..." His face changed drastically.

"This is-" Ziad also changed color during the ambush of the cannibal.

"Is this?" Almost everyone looked around in panic after a hundred thousand Dashi and the coalition forces of various countries.

"This is" Dou Xuena, who was worried, suddenly looked up.

"water"

This is the sound of water, the sound of roaring water. Everyone is familiar with it, but everyone is unfamiliar with it. This is a mountain and ridge. The Talas River is dozens of miles away. Although there are some tributaries here, how can such a loud sound of water be produced?

"Your Highness, go quickly. No matter what it is, let's go quickly and avoid it." Dou Zhongjie's confidant who arranged for Dou Xuena was quite calm and steady, and came up to pull him and said.

"Yes, go quickly." Dou Xuena also understood and didn't care about the things in the tent. He took his guard and flashed towards the high place.

The entire Dashi coalition, the soldiers and civilians, had more than 100,000 soldiers, and of course it was not something that could be placed in one place. Their camp, from outside the city of Tak Jiancheng, stretched for more than ten miles. Ziard had already reacted at this time and shouted to drive the troops to move to the high places. However, in order to deal with Ye Chang's sneak attack, the headquarters of the Dashi Army had already set up military formations and gathered together in good armor. After listening to this order, they were eager to squeeze and squeeze you, and even pushing and even trampling were almost uncontrollable.

Not only the Great Food Army, but also the Tocharian coalition forces in the rivers were all fighting for the way. They didn't know where the water came from, but they knew that it would be not safe to stay where they are now. In such chaos, it was inevitable to use swords and guns to each other. For a moment, screams were everywhere, and they were killing each other.

Ziard was still lucky at this time and tried to restrain the troops. His location was higher, originally to facilitate him to observe the situation on the battlefield, but at this time he saw three turbid currents surging out like dragons from the northeast, southeast and northwest directions, along the valley - this was also their marching road and camping site, washing all the way.

Everything that stood in front of them, whether it was the huge rocks or the trees, was swept away instantly and then completely disappeared.

Because of the night, Ziad certainly couldn't see so real. In his eyes, the three giant beasts rushed towards his army from three directions. He had only had time to shout "Really God", and the giant beast broke the army he was preparing to deal with the Tang army and rushed towards his direction.

"How is this possible? How is this possible? True God, even the demon Ibris does not have the ability to summon such a terrible monster... What's going on? True God, the ubiquitous true God, have you abandoned me? That's what I..."

At this moment, even Ziad fell into a crazy situation.

Because the scene in front of him was completely unexpected. He had indeed experienced many battles, fought many beautiful battles, and had faced many cunning and wise enemies, but this was the first time he had encountered an enemy who used water on such a large scale.

When Talas went to Takan City, except for the small plains on the edge of the city, most of them were snow-covered mountains. Glaciers eroded lakes, large or small, on the mountains. Whenever in summer, these lakes were always filled with water melting from glaciers.

In addition, the night when Gao Xianzhi was defeated in Talas a few days ago, there was heavy rain falling from the sky, and enough water accumulated in these lakes. After Ye Chang confirmed this, he had already thought of the plan of flooding the Great Food Army.

Then the great cannibal must be led to a relatively low terrain, that is, the land of Baishiling Valley Road. So Ye Chang first withdrew from Baishiling and returned to Tax City, and then asked Dou Zhongjie to surrender, and had not demolished the camp he had given up yet. He was sure that Ziyad would not give up the camp he built with a little vision.

There must also be enough water. During these days, the scouts sent by Ye Chang were searching for the mountain lakes that could be used all day and night, while the craftsmen worked hard to create restoration tools. Nearly 10,000 reliable Anxi soldiers and Tianwei Jianer were dispersed and excavated.

The great cannibals cannot be allowed to discover their intentions, so Ye Chang kept Li Siye's department outside the city building. On the surface, it was to use the city defense to test the military strength of the Dashi. In fact, Ziyad's attention was focused on the city building. In this case, even if Ziyad sent a scout, he would not pay attention to those difficult-to-reach mountain lakes.

Until the last moment, no trump card was released. Therefore, Ye Chang organized this disguised sneak attack, and thousands of cavalry rushed towards the Dashi Army to cover up the sound of the surging waves in the mountains. When the Dashi people identified the real sound, they had no time to hide.

Water flooding, fire attack, and water and fire are ruthless. It is really unfamiliar to the cannibals who are used to fighting corps and armies in open plains. Even if they have seen the so-called "Greek fire", it is just a weapon-level fire, which is not even a tactical level, let alone a water attack application that is almost combat-level like now.

At this time, Ziad had not realized that he had been trapped. He had never thought that such a terrible natural power was released by humans. When he realized that this natural catastrophe would bring a catastrophe to his 100,000 troops, he had been wrapped in some subordinates and led to another higher hill.

No one knows whether the place where they were standing was swallowed up by water.

Ziad came over clearly, and when he looked around again, he was almost crying without tears.

He originally had more than 100,000 troops, but now he could see nothing. He could see water everywhere he could see. Because of the night, he could not judge what was happening outside the water. Beside him, there were only a few hundred pitiful personal soldiers, as well as some generals and tribe leaders, who also followed him here in panic.
