lazy tang

Chapter 858
Yunhao caressed a steel knife with snow patterns in his hand, the Damascus steel knife really lived up to its reputation.This precious sword treasured by the Azimuth Palace is the king of swords.One whole, cut in two.It took a long time before blood came out.

"It's nothing but him. From now on, I'll use him to cut the leg of lamb." Yun Hao nodded in satisfaction.

Cheng Chumo's jaw almost dropped to the ground, and Yuchi Baolin's beard and hair were thick.Li Zhi covered his eyes, he couldn't bear to see him!Only Master Sheng Yan drank the grape wine indifferently. It was just a knife, but it was sharper, so it was no big deal.

What a waste!Such a good knife is actually used to cut leg of lamb?

No one dared to question Yun Hao's words, not even Li Zhi.Yunhao had warned Li Zhi that if he was disrespected, Yunhao would beat him up.

"This city is very rich, richer than any cities we have encountered before. There is a lot of money and food in the treasury, enough for us to feed for the first half of the year." Master Sheng Yan reported to Yunhao loudly.

It was originally the place where the Umayyad king discussed government affairs, but now it has become Yunhao's singing and dancing venue.The concubines of King Umayyad are performing dances to the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty.Just like this, these girls still think it's an insult and don't want to dance.

Until Yunhao said, if you don’t like dancing with clothes on, then dance naked.After these women heard this, they immediately went off to dance.The buttocks are twisted so coquettishly that the eyeballs of the winking eyes are almost thrown out.I'm afraid the people here let them go to bed immediately, there is no problem at all.It's hard to imagine that these are the chaste women just now.

"The grain in the treasury is enough for us to feed for half a year. If we search the whole city, the grain should be enough for us to feed for a year. Send an order to collect all the grain in the city. The old rule is to select strong labor and send it to dig canals. Pick out beautiful girls and transport them back to the Tang Dynasty. The rest of the people will rush north, and the caliph should welcome his new people very much." Yun Hao took a sip of the grape wine and twisted on the chest of the Umayyad king and princess. With one touch, this beautiful princess acted like a baby.

The caliph really fell in love with Yunhao to death, after every siege.Yunhao would snatch everything there, and then pack everything he didn't need and send it to the Caliph.Especially in terms of population, Tang people have very strict standards for strong labor. Those over the age of 30 and those in poor health are not allowed.

The helpless caliph can only take over in an all-round way, there is no way!He is the ruler of the Christian world, and now the religious people are being poisoned by aliens. If he can't solve it, it will have an incalculable impact on his rule.In order to stabilize the foundation of the rule, the Caliph had to take over these people even if he gritted his teeth.

Fortunately, the fighting in Constantinople was in full swing, no matter how many people there were, they could fill that flesh and blood mill.

"No!" The people below laughed like night owls, and it was a joy to follow Chu Guogong to send troops.This time, everyone made a fortune.From high-ranking generals to ordinary soldiers and even grooms.

The Western Expeditionary Army went up and down, and this time it was a windfall.

"It's a pity! This palace can't be moved away. It's a pity that such a beautiful place is smashed. It's a good thing for us to move everything away and leave the building." The great Duke of Chu said compassionately.

The subordinates are all silent, they are not yet able to speak nonsense with their eyes open.

"Do you think this place is already rich?" Yun Hao smiled and looked at the generals below.

The big guys looked at each other, not knowing what Duke Chu meant.

"Tell you guys, go south from here and climb over that high mountain. You will see a more prosperous city. Although the population there is not as large as Chang'an, it should have a scale of hundreds of thousands!

More importantly, it is the Holy Land of the Three Religions.The wealth of various religions is immeasurable. I wonder if you are interested in taking a look. "As soon as Yun Hao's words fell, the people below went crazy!"
Damascus is already so rich that people are jealous, but there are even richer places.

Cheng Chumo and Yuchi Baolin tightly grasped the horizontal saber in their hands, wishing they could rush out and mount their horses right now to take that city back.Li Zhi's eyes were a little red, he was very poor, the more he robbed this time, the better.

His business in Chang'an was suppressed by two powerful elder brothers and became difficult.Talents like Li Yi's mansion can't make the business of Prince Jin's mansion improve at all.

If you want to develop in Chang'an, you can't do without money.The majestic Prince Jin's Mansion couldn't even take out the money to reward his servants, and that person would lose a lot.

"The meal needs to be eaten bite by bite. Let's eat the meal in Damascus first. Then go to Jerusalem. Don't worry, it is big enough to be a city. No one can move it away in half a month, and it is a religious holy place. Those religious people will not remove those very symbolic things." Yun Hao's resolute words made the people below very depressed.

All of them seem to have grass in their hearts, but the speed of their subordinates' robbery is increasing rapidly.The whole army knows that there is a richer city to the south from here.I heard that the roofs of the temples there are all gold, unlike the temples in Damascus.To fool people with gold paint is just for fun.

Yunhao said one month, but there are too many things.Even though the maximum transportation capacity was developed, even half of the transportation was not completed in a month. Li Zhi even planned to pack and transport the contents of the Azim Palace to Chang'an for his father.Use it to show your military exploits and filial piety!
For a time, there were not so many ships.These things can only be transported to the seaside, and then wait to be loaded on the ship from Datang and sent back to the country.Everything else is easy to handle, but those beauties are a little troublesome.In just two months, many people have become pregnant.It is common sense that pregnant people are not suitable for floating at sea.As a result, there was a tribe full of pregnant women on the seashore, and the Tang people provided very sufficient nutrition for this place.

This makes those laborers who do coolies all day very jealous!
After three full months, Damascus was finally emptied.A very large boat came to the pier with many iron boxes on board.After the iron boxes are filled with goods, a crane will hoist the iron boxes and stack them together.In this way, the capacity of a ship is greatly increased.More than the previous two ships have delivered!
Li Zhi was very happy, because there was Li Yifu among the people who came with the boat.There is a shortage of useful people around!

However, Li Zhi's happiness only lasted for half a day, and Yunhao transferred Li Yifu to dig a canal.

Cheng Chumo and Yuchi Baolin, Niu Jianhu and the others didn't say they fought.But letting them do the construction is completely blind. Many people died, and the canal was only dug for a few miles.Seeing that the crocodiles on the beach are too fat to walk, Yunhao is very worried that the sharks in the sea will one day refuse to eat human corpses.

This guy Li Yifu is much better, this guy has enough IQ in his head.Unlike those three rammed goods, their heads are full of paste.

It was Li Yifu who came up with the idea of ​​putting iron boxes on the boat.This doubled the transportation capacity of Datang to the Middle East, which is very conducive to Datang's plunder here.With this kind of thing, Li Zhi could finally pack the things from the Azimuth Palace and deliver them to his father.

I just don't know how the eldest grandson will feel when the concubines of King Umayyad appear in Li Er's huge harem group.Is he proud of his capable son, or does he want to strangle this little bastard to death with his own hands.

There is no way to guess what the eldest grandson is thinking, Yunhao must take these killers to Jerusalem now.Seeing that the meat could not be eaten, the killers jumped up and down anxiously.Cheng Chumo is like a male dog in heat, wandering around Yunhao all day long.Inside and outside the words, I always want to ask when to attack Jerusalem.His subordinates are ready, just blast open the city gate.He is sure to rob Jerusalem from the bottom up!
What a shame!The dignified generals of the Tang Dynasty are more like bandits than generals.What has become of this!

However, thinking of the family history of the old Cheng's family, Yun Hao felt that Cheng Chumo was absolutely right.He has completely inherited Cheng Yaojin's excellent genes, he goes out to grab what he doesn't have, and he wants to go out to grab what he has.Anyway, what is robbed is better than what is produced.This is the old Cheng family, with a firm life creed and code of conduct.

There is no other way, if you don't let the offspring of the thieves rob him, Yunhao still can't do this kind of thing that violates natural beliefs.

After evacuating Damascus, Yunhao did not burn it down.Instead, in response to the unanimous request of the assassins, they crossed the steep Judah Mountains to the south.This place is really very steep, many places are even more steep than Bashu.

Moreover, this place is already regarded as a plateau, and the soldiers of Datang had severe altitude sickness when they arrived here.Many people suffered from headaches and nausea, and many people had inexplicable fevers, and then the high fever persisted, and finally died.

Babies born on the loess land are still not suitable for living on the plateau.Fortunately, this section is not long, and the situation has improved a lot after reading the Mount of Olives and Mount Lookout.The number of people with headaches and nausea was significantly reduced, and the symptoms of people who already had altitude sickness began to alleviate.As for those with a fever, the airship has already sent them to the seaside.I believe they will recover soon after being blown by the sea breeze.

The altitude of Jerusalem is not high, and the whole Jerusalem is surrounded by valleys and dry riverbeds, only the north side is not very obvious.

There are three distinct valleys in Jerusalem: the Kidron Valley, the Hinnom Valley, and the Tairop Valley, which intersect south of Jerusalem.The Kidron Valley passes east of the Old City, separating the Mount of Olives from the city.The Valley of Hinnom, west of Jerusalem, is a symbol of hell in biblical eschatology.The Tairop Valley was located in the northwest, near where the Damascus Gate is today, and flowed south and southeast into the Pool of Siloam.Much of the Tairop Valley has been hidden by debris that has accumulated within the valley over the past few thousand years.

In other words, they want to attack Jerusalem.It is necessary to attack from the north, and only the north is the place suitable for the army to station.The general who stationed the army in the ditch should have his head cut off immediately.

The guards of Jerusalem were obviously not Arabs, they were a group of guys with yellow hair and eyes of different colors.Inside the binoculars, these canned soldiers are covered in plate armor.With a shield and long sword in hand, Cheng Chumo led his men to fight them.These people are very difficult to deal with, and the cavalry hand crossbow can hardly penetrate their armor.

The strong crossbows used by infantry can only penetrate their armor at about two hundred paces.However, these people have shields in their hands, and the effect of the crossbow salvo is not good.

Yunhao began to regret that the cavalry he brought only focused on mobility.It is very difficult for heavy armored cavalry without enough impact to kill these canned men.

The sword held by the canned man is also very special. Generally speaking, a long sword can be easily broken by a knife.After all, the knife is sharpened on one side, and the thick back of the knife gives the knife great strength.

The sword is a weapon with a ridge in the middle and sharp edges on both sides.In the past when Datang fought against other enemies, the long sword was often cut in two by the enemy's horizontal knife.Therefore, long swords are basically not used by cavalry.Everyone is using a horizontal knife that is sharper and more conducive to chopping.

But the long sword in the can man's hand is very special. First of all, the steel material is quite good.Secondly, these long swords have not one ridge, but two ridges.Moreover, the sword body is thick, which greatly increases the strength of the sword.Even in the reckless fight with Hengdao, he did not lose the wind in the slightest.

Strong armor, sharp weapons.It made Cheng Chumo suffer a lot, and he even made bold words yesterday.Cheng Dashao, who could easily win without gunpowder weapons, decided to use kerosene bombs today.Because across from him, groups of heavy armored cavalry appeared.

These guys are significantly more difficult to deal with, and these guys are an absolute infantry nightmare.Datang Qingqi can quickly disengage from them, and it is difficult for them in heavy armor to catch up with Datang Qingqi.Behind the light cavalry, there are still a large number of infantry.If these people were allowed to rush in, the infantry would die terribly.

Nothing else in the Middle East is very good, but there is enough fuel oil.The airship can deliver a lot every day, and the army can drink kerosene as water without any problem.

Catapults of various types fired kerosene jars regardless.The entire mountain pass in front of the army was burning, and the billowing fire was like a churning dragon.Swallow those armored cavalry who wear heavy armor on both men and horses!

A full mile away, Yun Hao felt that his face was scorched and painful.The trebuchet has been withdrawn for several miles, and it will be a lot of fun if the kerosene jar is blasted.

Cheng Chumo's hair was baked and curled, looking very much like an Arab.Seeing Yunhao looking over, he felt embarrassed.It's all old Cheng's fault, always thinking that Lao Tzu is the best in the world.But they don't know that there are green hills outside the mountains, and brothels outside the buildings.There are people behind capable people!

Maybe the killers are too nervous, or maybe the kerosene here is really worthless.The kerosene bombs thrown by the killers burned for a full day before they were extinguished.In the afterglow of the setting sun, the earth appeared scorched black.The fiery red sunset soon coated the earth with a layer of gold.It is estimated that God does not want to see this miserable scene in front of him.
