Chapter 877 Your Majesty's bastards haven't had fun yet!
It hasn't been long yet.
Li Shimin, Li Chenglu and others on the city wall were refreshed again.
"Your Majesty, those big-eating barbarians are attacking again!"
"Huh? The barbarians are eating so much that they separate the three armies?"
"The strength of these barbarians is at least 50,000 in each army?"
"Send the order, quickly add 10,000 shield troops to the city wall!"
"Here..."
As military orders were passed down the city wall one after another, all the generals and soldiers of the Tang Dynasty on the city wall could not help but feel excited.
150,000 hungry barbarians want to storm the city?
Just in time, they can completely let go of their hands and feet and fight happily.
"The barbarians have rushed three miles away!"
"Artillery ready!"
"put!"
"Rumble..."
"The barbarians have rushed a mile away!"
"Arrow bombs ready!"
"put!"
"Boohoo…boom…boom…"
"The barbarians have rushed to the city wall!"
"Hand throwing bombs ready!"
"put!"
"Rumble..."
Three rounds of bombs came down, causing a large pile of corpses to fill the outside of the city. The barbarians who finally rushed to the city wall had their eyes red and were extremely aggrieved.
The Arab camp watching the battle in the distance also felt as if someone was strangling their necks, and there was a sudden silence. The Arab Caliph Omar and the Arab generals who were watching the battle stared even more and trembled all over.
They stood far away and could see more clearly.
The Tang people were so despicable. They not only had artillery that could shoot far away, but also had artillery at close range. Even standing under the city wall, these Tang people could blow up their Arab soldiers.
This is just on this journey, at least half of the warriors they sent were injured or killed.
For God's sake, couldn't their 200,000-strong army defeat the Tang people who only had 100,000 soldiers?
Inexplicably, the Arab Caliph Umar had already developed a desire to retreat.
With this 200,000-strong army, the Arabs can suppress the main armies of those pagans in Persia and Byzantium!
If all the casualties were here, then the city that the Arabs had sacrificed so many warriors to conquer might have to be taken back again!
Thinking about this, the Arab Caliph Omar frowned!
same.
Li Xiaogong, Niu Jinda and other veterans who had been standing at the top of the city watching the battle also looked anxious.
"Your Majesty, it's time to let the brats like the Thunder Army rest for a while. There are still so many brats on the city wall. Ever since we came to this land, we haven't even taken out the steel knives in our hands."
"Yes, Your Majesty, these men have watched the excitement for nearly a month, it's time for them to participate."
"Your Majesty, more than 50,000 of the 150,000 eating barbarians in the city have been killed by the bombing. If the Thunder Army's 20,000-odd brats continue to fight like this, the remaining 100,000 eating barbarians in the city won't be able to hold on for long!"
"His Majesty……"
The tone was so sincere that Li Chenglu, who was listening on the sidelines, couldn't help but look at him with suspicion.
Li Shimin also looked helpless.
"The dignified princes, princes, and princes of the Tang Dynasty are like those women on the streets, with their eyes wide open and their faces full of grievances. How indecent?"
"Your Majesty, as long as you can make the cubs of the Thunder Army leave a small life for these big-eating barbarians below and let them climb the city wall, you can say anything!"
Li Xiaogong simply acted rogue.
Anyway, these old guys are already at this age and don't have many more years to live.
Besides, no one dares to laugh at them.
"Humph, I will do whatever you want!"
Li Shimin glared at Li Xiaogong, Niu Jinda and others, "Send the order, all the Thunder Army brats should be gentler, and leave some barbarians for the brats who are watching the fun beside them, so they can also chop them!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Li Xiaogong, Niu Jinda and others were overjoyed.
As the order was issued, the density of bombs and arrow bombs dropped on the city wall suddenly became sparse.
Seeing this, the Arab generals such as Amr, Numan, Shim Ut, who were already desperate and prepared to withdraw their troops, also looked overjoyed and shouted to the surrounding Arab soldiers.
"God bless, the Tang people have no more bombs. All Arab warriors rush to the city wall to capture the Emperor of the Tang alive!"
"God bless……"
All the surviving Arab soldiers looked towards the city wall with murderous intent on their faces.
Immediately, they built the ladders that had not been blown up on the city wall and climbed up with all their might.
Seeing this, Caliph Omar and a group of Arabs in the Arab camp in the distance also looked overjoyed.
They believed that as long as their Arab warriors rushed to the city wall, those Tang people would be defeated by their Arab warriors.
Unfortunately, soon their eyes widened again with despair.
Their warriors who climbed onto the wall of Sal were as if they were stuck in quicksand. Although the Arab warriors kept climbing up the wall of Sal, they disappeared without a trace, and there was no trace of the big ones on the wall.
What kind of panic or agitation did the Tang people bring?
In this way, after about 20,000 to 30,000 soldiers climbed up, not only Caliph Omar who was watching the battle from a distance, but also the Arab generals Amul and Numan who were waiting under the city wall, also felt that something was wrong.
Immediately, someone shouted, "The people of the Tang Dynasty above are all devils. We can't do any harm to them if we go up there!"
"The people of the Tang Dynasty are devils..."
Soon, all the surrounding Arab soldiers also showed fear on their faces.
Although they believe in Allah, they are always brave and invincible in battles and are not afraid of death or injury.
However, facing an enemy like Datang, their fear finally manifested itself.
"What are you all afraid of? This land is the land of Allah. Under the light of Allah, we will definitely be able to kill all these Tang people!"
Amr, Numan and others roared at the Arab soldiers beside them, "This time, I will rush to the city wall myself, and I will lead you to defeat those shameful Tang people!"
"God bless!"
All the Arab soldiers also calmed down a little.
Immediately, Amul, Numan and other generals, holding a round shield in one hand and a round knife in the other, quickly climbed up the ladder.
It seems that the Tang Dynasty people on the city wall have no intention of stopping them from climbing the ladder.
Along the way, they climbed up easily.
However, after going up, the expressions of Amul, Numan and other generals changed drastically.
In front of them was a crowd of people from the Tang Dynasty.
The most important thing is that the shields in the hands of these Tang people are absolutely black and made of solid steel. In addition, the armor on these Tang people and the spears and knives in their hands are the same color as those shields, and they are absolutely black.
It is made of sharp and hard stainless steel.
However, they had only seen that kind of strong and sharp fine steel in the Caliph's castle. It was just a small knife, which was extremely precious.
Inshallah!
How could these Tang people have so much fine steel?
However, before Amul, Numan and other generals could finish their astonishment, a group of soldiers from the Tang Dynasty who were already impatient to wait for these barbarians raised their steel shields forward, and directly moved the steel knives and spears in their hands.
Using the gap between the steel shields, he charged towards the giant eating barbarians in front of him.
One in and one out!
The steel knife and spear were stained with blood.
Among the Arab crowd, several people would fall down, and their movements were very skillful.
At the same time, while Amul, Numan and others were dodging, the iron knives and spears in their hands were also slashing and stabbing at the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty who were nearest to them.
Unfortunately, it could only leave a slight scratch on those steel shields, and could not hurt any soldiers of the Tang Dynasty.
And those soldiers of the Tang Dynasty could kill several of their warriors every time they used their swords. Even if they still held strong shields in their hands, it had no effect in front of those soldiers of the Tang Dynasty.
Moreover, because their dozens of warriors were attacked from two sides by the Tang Dynasty soldiers between the very narrow city walls, there was no room for them to dodge, and more than half of them were quickly killed or injured.
The speed of the warriors who climbed up from the ladder was not fast enough for these Tang Dynasty men to kill.
What frightened them even more was that after the area around them was cleared, they saw that the Tang people actually vacated a few people, and then very skillfully pulled out the corpses of the Arab warriors who had fallen on the ground.
, then the two of them lifted one and threw it directly off the city wall.
No wonder……
No, they Arabs can't defeat these Tang people at all! It's even possible that the Tang people put them here on purpose.
Thinking of this, the expressions of Amul, Numan and other generals changed greatly, and they hurriedly ran to the ladder next to the city wall.
"Retreat, retreat!"
"All Arab warriors retreat..."
Hearing the sound, the Arab soldiers who were climbing up quickly went back down.
However, the Arab soldiers below did not hear what was happening above and were still climbing up the ladder angrily.
As a result, there was chaos on the ladder!
Seeing this, all the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty who were originally very calm also reacted.
These big-eating barbarians actually want to escape!
"Kill, these barbarians are trying to escape!"
"You cowards, you just let Yeye kill a few people and are you going to run away?"
"Chase! We must not let them all run away!"
A group of soldiers from the Tang Dynasty did not care about the corpses on the ground and pressed forward directly.
Amul, who had not yet jumped off the ladder, no matter how brave he was, was stabbed continuously by the steel knives and spears of several soldiers of the Tang Dynasty. More than ten bloody holes appeared in his body instantly, and he fell to the ground, lifeless.
This change in the Arab soldiers was naturally noticed by Li Shimin, Li Xiaogong and others who had been watching the battle on the city wall.
"Your Majesty, these barbarians seem to be trying to escape!"
"Send the order, don't pursue the poor bandits!"
"yes!"
Following the military orders, the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty who had climbed up the ladder had no choice but to climb back again.
"Your Majesty, the boys are killing Shuang Shuang, why don't you give chase?"
Seeing Dashi running away with satisfaction, Niu Jinda looked unwilling.
"You guys, a bunch of old men, let's see how many of these Dashi barbarians are left now? If you continue to kill them, I'm afraid Dashi will be destroyed directly by you!" Li Shimin said helplessly.
"Destroy the country?"
Hearing this, Niu Jinda and other veterans couldn't help but smile.
"Hey, Your Majesty, you can't blame us for this. It's because these big-eating barbarians are too inexperienced. Moreover, they are very stubborn and want to rush up even if they are half dead.
Those brats would feel sorry for these barbarians if they don’t take the heads that are delivered to our door!”
With such skill, they estimated that the large-scale barbarians on the opposite side had suffered at least 100,000 casualties.
At this time, as the barbarians retreated.
The scenes on the city wall are also revealed.
Outside the city, under the city wall, there was already a thick layer of corpses, at least ten and a half feet high.
Even the tongue of water on the city wall is still leaving blood as thick as a finger!
"Okay, the food barbarians have done so much damage, I guess they won't be able to attack the city today, so please send people to clean the city wall quickly!"
"Yes, Your Majesty!..."
at the same time.
In the Arab camp six miles away from the city of Sal, the Arab Caliph Omer was sitting on the throne with a gloomy face, his whole body trembling with anger, and at the same time, deep in his eyes, there was some fear.
"We, 200,000 Arab warriors, went to attack a hundred thousand, no, only 80,000 people from the Tang Dynasty. In half a day, 110,000 people died?"
"Moreover, even General Amr, the servant of God, died on the city wall!"
"Is it possible that we, the Arabs, really want to surrender under the feet of these shameful Tang people?"
"The great Prophet Caliph and those shameful Tang people all wore armor made of fine steel and steel shields. The materials of those weapons and shields were the same as the magic weapon in the hands of the Caliph!
Even if the sharp long knife in the hand of my Arab warrior cuts the Tang Dynasty man, it will only leave a mark on the armor and shield, and cannot hurt the Tang Dynasty man at all.
The long knives and spears in the hands of the Tang Dynasty people were also forged from fine steel and were extremely sharp.
Their long knives and spears will easily penetrate the iron and leather armor and enter the body of my Arab warrior!"
The generals such as Numan and Shim Ut who escaped from the wall of Sa'ar also looked desperate when talking about the situation of the Tang people on the wall.
It’s not that the Arabs are not brave in battle, but that the Tang people are too terrifying!
Those people of the Tang Dynasty were covered in steel. Only the Arab generals had a pair of iron armor, and the rest of the soldiers were covered in leather armor.
The steel knives in the hands of those Tang people were like chopping wood. They could easily cut off the swords and spears in their hands. As for the iron armor they wore that could protect them in the past, they had no power when facing the Tang people's steel knives.
effect!
"Great Allah, please guide your loyal messenger on how to defeat those Eastern Tang people!"
"Great Caliph, we now have an army of 200,000, but after one battle we will only have 100,000 left. We need to rest and recuperate!"
"Moreover, the bodies of the soldiers left under the city wall must also be brought back!"
"Which servant of God dares to negotiate with the Tang Dynasty people and take back the bodies of those poor sons and daughters?"
"Great Prophet Caliph, I am willing to negotiate with the Tang Dynasty people..."
