Tiantang Splendid

Chapter 3160
The scout felt Ye Zide's panic and anger. He knew how cruel and tyrannical the successor of the caliphate was. It was common practice to kill soldiers.

However, the reality is there, how dare he lie?
He could only shrink his neck, and said bravely: "...the river surged and destroyed the embankment. The west city wall is on the bank of the Broken Leaf Water, and it is completely submerged by the flood now. Khorasang is leading the 'Sword of Allah' to attack In Xicheng, encountering floods, I'm afraid... already... oops!"

Before he finished speaking, he felt a flash of white light in front of his eyes, and Ye Zide on the horse had already thrown the scimitar over his hand, piercing through his chest in an instant.

Ye Qide's eyes were about to burst, he didn't even look at the scout who fell to the ground and screamed in pain but hadn't died for a while, and shouted: "How dare the Anxi army do this! Attack the city! Attack the city! The Tang people are treacherous and cunning, break the city Afterwards, all living creatures will be massacred!"

"Here!"

The generals didn't dare to say much, so they hurriedly rode their horses and scattered away, returned to their headquarters, and led their soldiers to attack Suiye City.

In any case, as soon as he took the battle, he suffered heavy losses, especially the user "Sword of Allah", which was fatal to the morale of the Arab army.

Only by breaking through the city as soon as possible and slaughtering all the defenders in the city can the morale be boosted, and Ye Qide's anger can be calmed down.

Otherwise, this cruel and tyrannical heir to the empire might be able to do crazy things...

Ye Qide looked at the army in all directions, half madly attacking Yecheng. The small broken Yecheng was like an island reef surrounded by waves, crumbling. Many soldiers had climbed to the top of the city and were fighting fiercely with the Tang army. The city must be broken soon. For a moment, there was no joy in my heart.

His father valued him and appointed him as the commander in charge of conquering the Western Regions and expanding eastward, commanding an army of 20, and even dispatched the extraordinary "Sword of Allah" under his command to assist him in accomplishing feats that shocked the world, making his prestige It has been greatly improved, and it will be a logical successor to the caliphate in the future.

However, just after he came to the Western Regions, he suffered an unacceptable loss in just a small city of Suiye. How should he go back and explain to his father the victory or defeat?
Ye Qide rode his horse forward, mixed with regret, remorse, and anger in his heart, which made him dizzy for a while, staring at his eyes, and almost fell off the horse...

*****
When the fire broke out behind the enemy's camp, Xue Rengui ordered the dam to be dug, and let the raging river flow down the river, rushing and roaring, and rushed straight to the west wall of Suiye City.

At the same time, the defenders in the city began to break out.

The soldiers of the Anxi army retreated suddenly from under the walls of various places, and they really dodged the Arab soldiers who were attacking madly.But they woke up immediately, knowing that Anxi's army was about to run away, and quickly chased them down.It's just that the Anxi military has already set up deer villages, pits and other organs in the city. The soldiers are well-trained, and they retreat without chaos. While retreating towards the north gate, they leave behind a team.

The Arab soldiers encountered tenacious resistance, but because they had seen the fire in their tents earlier, it was inevitable that the morale of the army would fluctuate at this moment. They were unexpectedly blocked by Anxi's army step by step, allowing them to rush out of the north city gate and rush into the Arab army outside the north city. In the army, intends to break out.

Thousands of people are not many, but these soldiers gathered in one place, attacked outwards with a formation of sharp arrows, and there were thunderstorms to open the way, killing the Arab army scattered outside the city crying for their fathers and mothers, and they were defeated. intercept.

As the Anxi army retreated from the east, south, and west at the same time, the Arab soldiers entered the city smoothly and opened the city gate. More Arab soldiers began to pour into the city, killing people and looting houses when they saw them, causing chaos.

This is the tradition of Arab soldiers. Every time a city is captured, it must be looted first, and then pursue the enemy...

Officers will not restrain their soldiers at this time. This is the moment of victory, and it is right to plunder and enjoy indulgence.

Tens of thousands of Arab soldiers crazily poured into Suiye City, and as far as the eye could see, it was densely packed and full of people.

However, no one noticed that from the wells, culverts, and cellars in the city, people in tattered Arab military uniforms kept sneaking out like mice. When the city of Beicheng suddenly saw an orange firework screaming sharply into the sky, Then a ball of gorgeous fireworks exploded in the night sky, and they all blew on the torches, igniting the fuse in front of them, and then quickly turned around and hid in their respective hiding places.

Countless lead wires sparked in the darkness, quickly detonating the pre-buried gunpowder.

"boom boom"

Countless gunpowder buried in hidden places was ignited almost instantly, and the thunderous roar shook the whole field. The bursting gunpowder released unparalleled energy, throwing all the soil, bricks and stones into the air, throwing them in all directions, sweeping Everything in Suiye City.

The chaotic Arab soldiers were indulging in looting, but the Anxi army had already burned all the materials that could be burned, leaving them empty-handed and full of complaints.

The moment the gunpowder exploded, no one knew what happened, and they were involved in a landslide and earth-shattering explosion.

The power of gunpowder may have limited damage, but the huge energy engulfs the bricks, stones, ruins and walls, and sputters crazily on the surface, sweeping everything.

Countless Arab soldiers were blown to pieces and flew into the air, or were hit by splashed objects, and died instantly.

The four walls are bursting.During the bombing, the west city wall collapsed, especially the west city wall. The raging river water of the broken leaf water was blocked by the west city wall. The turbulent river formed a vortex under the city, sweeping all objects inside and washing away. At this moment, the west city wall was blown down by gunpowder. The river rushed into the city, and the violent water rushed unscrupulously, engulfing broken logs, corpses and other objects, increasing its energy, and everything in front of it was ready to be smashed.

But all moving objects are instantly swept away.

Ye Qide was overjoyed when he saw his soldiers entering the city, but when he rode his horse and galloped to the outside of the city, his eardrums almost burst due to a loud bang, and the ground under his feet trembled violently like an earth dragon turned over , the horse under his crotch let out a long hiss in horror, and the man stood up, throwing the unprepared Ye Zide off the horse, and fell heavily to the ground.

The dazed Ye Qide was helped up by the general beside him, and he saw that Suiye City in front of him was completely changed, the original solid city wall collapsed, flames and black smoke shot up into the sky, and his ears were full of words like falling into hell. The terrified screams that followed.

Ye Qide has not recovered yet, what happened?
What kind of power is it that makes a perfectly good city fall apart and the sky collapse?
"Commander! It's gunpowder. The Anxi army planted gunpowder in advance in the city. After retreating, they took the opportunity to detonate it. They blew up Suiye City!"

The generals around him yelled.

An unprecedented tremor surged in Ye Zide's heart, he felt his hands and feet were cold, and it was even difficult to breathe.

Anxi Jun is too ruthless!

Did they destroy more than just a city?There are also tens of thousands of Arab soldiers in the city!
Not to mention the "Sword of Allah"...

Thinking of the "Sword of Allah", he hurriedly broke away from the generals left and right, and asked, "Where is Khorasang? Where is the 'Sword of Allah'?"

The scout shook his head and said, "The west of the city was still washed away by the flood, and there was no sign of Khorasang. Moreover, the west city wall was blown up by the gunpowder of the Anxi Army, and the flood rushed into the city, trying to find the 'Sword of Allah' ' survivors, or remains, are increasingly difficult."

Ye Zide felt dizzy and staggered.

It took him a while to recover, gritted his teeth, stared, and said word by word: "At once gather the troops and move forward fifty miles to camp by the Suiye River..."

Speaking of this, I recalled the Anxi army's tactic of building a dam to cut off the river and then suddenly digging the dam to cause the flood to surge. My heart trembled, and I hurriedly changed my words: "Camp five miles away from the riverside, and be careful not to repeat the old tricks of the Tang Dynasty. Then send out scouts to scout the horses. Investigate the traces of the Anxi army, and at the same time investigate the details of the surrounding tribes in the Western Regions."

The originally insufficient food and fodder was burned by a big fire. Now I know that Suiye City has become a ruin. The most important thing is not to chase after the Anxi army, but to quickly find a way to replenish the army's food and fodder. I can make decisions on various tribes in the Western Regions.

Fortunately, Tang Jun has always paid attention to the policy of Huairou, and overly oppressed these tribes' military departments, so all of them are rich and tight.

They should be able to plunder well and get through the current food and fodder crisis...
