.The next day, Li Wei summoned the generals again.

Two systems were put into place.

The first system modified the previous Tang Dynasty's establishment in the Western Regions. With the Rehai Tianshan Mountains as the boundary, the Jinshan Protectorate in the north, the palace was the Suiye City. The south was still the Anxi Protectorate in the south, and the capital was Kucha. The original Tang Dynasty system was simplified.

This is easier to manage than the original chaotic prophets. Just by taking Tianshan as the boundary, everything Turks were divided into two into left and right wings. It is also convenient for immigration management, and it is also possible to cooperate with some of the following military plans. In the countries of Tochar, including Fanyan and other countries, the Protectorate of Tochar was established, the Protectorate of Hezhong was established, and the Protectorate of Hezhong was established, and the Protectorate of Persian was established, Khorasan and Sestan. The governorate of Hezhong was retained, and the prefectures were retained in the original organization. Two governorate of Sestan, seven prefectures and eighteen counties were established. Khorasan established six governorate of fifteen prefectures and thirty-nine counties.

The three places continued to maintain the original system of bans. The governors and the governors were all leaders of various countries. All countries still retained the right to be highly autonomous as before. However, the majority of the archons of each Protectorate must be held by officials of the Tang Dynasty to assist in governing local governments, mediating conflicts, and governing part of the military power. The rights are equivalent to those of the previous major Protectorate in the Western Regions. In addition, each Protectorate established a small number of Tang garrison troops, and the military expenditure was held by each Protectorate. However, the seven households and one horse tax in the Western Regions was not implemented in the River and in Persia.

There must be a gradual process and strengthen management step by step. At present, the three Protectorates have great food and cannot be too rushed. If taxes are collected, they must fulfill their obligations, otherwise the people will not accept this obligation, but Li Wei does not want to fulfill this obligation.

Established a system, so the commission was appointed as an official.

It started with Jinshan, and let Ashina Huserluo serve as the Khan of the Turkic Khan of the Left-Change, and Tang Xiujing serve as the Captain of Jinshan. Some generals were surprised. Only Wang Fangyi was confident. As early as when His Majesty asked Tang Xiujing to cooperate with Huserluo to handle Turkic affairs, Wang Fangyi thought of this mission.

The Khan of the Right Enclosure never came up with a good candidate, so he asked Wei Yuanzhong, who had already arrived in the Western Regions, to serve as the Great Protector of Anxi, and Guo Yuanzhen was the chief of the Anxi Protectorate. Wei Yuanzhong was a good minister and had been proved long ago. Guo Yuanzhen was a good general and had also been proved. The two people's missions were not very controversial.

Next, Li Jinxing was appointed as the Great Protector of the Kawazhong, Qie Ming served as the Great Protector of the Tochar, and Wang Fangyi served as the Great Protector of the Persian. It was also an undisputed mission. Li Jinxing and Qie Ming trained their troops in the two places for a long time and had some prestige. Persian affairs were the most complex. They were not only at the forefront of the Dashi counterattack, but also had to assist the Persians in governing. Both Li Jinxing and Qie Ming felt that they were incompetent.

After several ways of giving the order, Li Wei surpassed the power, and he did not have the power to grant the title of the third-rank official position.

But so what? Does the court still disagree? Who has the final say in the Western Regions?

However, after doing it, I still wrote a memorial and sent it to Luoyang to ask for approval from my father.

After this order was arranged, the generals were asked to train all the soldiers. When they attacked the city, there was no case of burning, killing, looting. I had repeatedly ordered them before, mainly targeting some Persian new recruits. Some of them were "deep blood revenge" and once they entered the city, they might lose control. They sent people to tie the city and take the Ni Nirvana Master to their husbands.

The city was officially siege in the afternoon.

I originally wanted to use the original group of prisoners as cannon fodder, but it had many negative effects and had some impact on credit. Li Jinxing's siege tower tactics found an effective means to attack his husband. Li Wei gave up this idea and asked them to go home, but he had to wait until after the war to let them go back and let the Persians deal with it themselves.

The first batch of soldiers who siege the city only sent some low-level generals to lead them, and all the soldiers were Persian recruits. They used actual combat to forcibly improve their combat effectiveness and cooperation ability.

More than a hundred large siege towers were pushed out, like moving castles, they were pushed under the wall of the Moufu city by soldiers and stopped. The soldiers climbed from the stairs to the top level, and the soldiers inside lay down on the baffle and shot at the top of the city through the hole. A row of soldiers behind them operated catapults and placed gunpowder bags.

Under the cover of gunpowder and bows, soldiers and those suspicious prisoners of war who were not released back were allowed to carry sandbags and fill the moat.

The cannibals in the city also fought back.

Many catapults were launched, which were very small in size. They were improved products made by Salem after seeing the trenchers of the Tang Dynasty. However, there were many shortcomings, such as insufficient range and troublesome operation.

Li Wei came to many big cannibals at the tower and brought small pottery jars. There were many buckets of water on the top of the city, filled with clear water. Once he saw the gunpowder pack falling on the top of the city, he used water to slap it.

I can only sigh in a slight sense that human wisdom is infinite. So quickly, the cannibals came up with some countermeasures. However, this method was backward. After resistance from the Tubo people, the gunpowder bag was improved and "waterproofing performance was good." After watering, most gunpowder bags continued to explode, and soldiers were blown up one by one. The cannibals were mobilized again and ordered some Persians to force them to throw them out of the city when they saw the gunpowder bag fall. The effect was not ideal, which reduced some losses.

Another part of the big food soldiers lay behind the stomping wall, lit the small jars, placed them on the trencher, and projected them towards the Tang army.

Li Wei didn't know what it was, so he watched with all his attention. The jar fell, some happened to fall to the siege tower, and some fell below the siege tower, and piles of flames immediately rose. Li Wei was shocked and thought that the cannibal had obtained the Greek fire technology.

After staring for a moment, it was not very similar. Greek fire was sprayed, and it was definitely not a throwing use. People went to check it out and found that the jar contained a mixture of tincture oil and sulfur. The big cannibal installed a fuse and ignited the jar. The jar was projected out and fell to the ground and broke. The two flammable substances quickly burned when they saw the air.

This method is good, Li Wei couldn't help but smile bitterly.

At this time, it was the season of plum rain in the south of the Central Plains, but the sky outside the Moufu City was clear and blue, and there was no cloudless. From time to time, a hot wind blew on the face. Some siege towers were built earlier, allowing the wind and sunlight to evaporate the water and become very dry. Coincidentally, there were many incendiary bombs in the middle, and the entire siege tower was burning quickly. In order to be taller than the city walls and to create a condescending momentum, each siege tower reached more than ten meters in height. This was the outer city walls, and some of the inner city walls were as high as forty meters, which was stricter on the siege towers.

When the soldiers saw the fire burning wildly, they jumped down regardless of how high the ground was. Some ignored the attack on the enemy and were only concerned about extinguishing the fire. Seeing this, Li Wei had to order the army to retreat first.

Standing in the tower and thinking for a while, the big cannibal could use it, but he couldn't. The thick soil and stone bricks on the top of the city burned only a small pile, so I just avoided it. However, the siege tower was made of wood and burned as soon as it burned.

It was also easy to crack. The next day, the siege continued to attack the city, and there were a lot of sand on the surface of the siege tower. There were also soldiers carrying sandbags below. When they saw it burning, they covered it with sand. The fire was put out and continued to attack.

But the great cannibal thought of a way to resolve gunpowder. A soldier accidentally saw that the gunpowder bag was about to explode. In a hurry, he panickedly used the gunpowder bag to be his head and cut it open with a big knife. The black gunpowder is not yellow gunpowder, its power is the pressure generated during the explosion. This pressure plus some hidden weapons inside to kill the enemy.

Therefore, the gunpowder pack needs to be sealed, but when the air is seen, it does not explode, but is just burning. The reason is the same as the firecrackers set off by the people.

He was unintentionally chopped, and after seeing this change, he tried again and quickly reported the situation to Salem. Salem ordered the Persians to be cannon fodder, and selected some powerful people to hold big axes to chop the falling gunpowder bags. He then splashed water from the soldiers. Some worked, some did not, but some sacrifices were reduced.

No matter how Salem resolved it, the Tang army had an absolute advantage. There were many soldiers, several times that of the city, and every day, thousands of people defected to the army from afar. There were many women. When Li Wei saw these women, he was stunned and asked for some information, and then he realized that Persia had used female soldiers' deeds and works related to the deeds of female soldiers. He passed on a picture of an ancient Persian female soldiers.

Li Weixie gave their kindness and asked them to go home. Perhaps it could be used in Persia, but it could be spread to China and would cause a lot of controversy.

The people also had the advantage of their desires. After the Tang army crossed the Wuhu River, they were disciplined. When Li Jinxing and Qi Biming trained soldiers, the first thing they trained was discipline. An army without military discipline could not become a powerful army. They never harassed the people, and they released the prisoners of war and reunited the families, which also won the support of the people. Some prisoners of war came home in the front and took the initiative to join the army. In order to express their gratitude and support, they came to take out their own food every day, and chickens, ducks and geese rewarded the people of the Tang Dynasty.

Morale was also different. The Tang Dynasty won many great victory and was highly morale. Although there were many fierce soldiers in the city, their morale was also declining after several defeats. Not to mention the Persians who were forcibly conquered. Weapons also had an absolute advantage, and the Grand Cannibals, like the Persians, were the Byzantines, followed by the Persians, and the weakest was the Grand Cannibals. Salem made some arrangements, but did not fully utilize the advantages of the tall wall of the Moufu.

The biggest advantage is that the outer city of Moufu is very long.

The larger the city, the more troops it can be used and the more materials it can store, but it does not mean that it is easier to defend. Some big cities can be conquered in one day, while some small levels can be maintained for a year and a half. It is precisely because the larger the city, the longer the city wall, which in turn requires more soldiers to defend.

If there are hundreds of thousands of people in the city, then more soldiers can be recruited to defend the city. It is possible that even ordinary people can carry bows and arrows and go to the top of the city to help. However, these people wish that the Tang Dynasty army would return to the army and conquer the city immediately. How to use it?

On the third day, more than 20 siege towers were damaged, but more than 100 more siege towers were slowly pushed under the wall of Moufu. After one day and a half filling, many sections of the moat were filled with sandbags. In order to allow soldiers to grow rapidly, they were not local troops of the Tang Dynasty, Li Wei was not stingy with the lives of the soldiers. Seeing that there was a slow opportunity, he pushed the siege tower directly under the wall and launched a charge towards the city.

Seeing that the situation was critical, Salem took out a lot of money to encourage the morale of the soldiers. The morale was slightly boosted and repelled the Tang army's repeated attacks.

I held on the third day again.

On the fourth day, more than a hundred huge siege towers were added outside the city, and they slowly approached.

Under the intensive attacks of the Tang Dynasty, the soldiers on the city were reduced by thousands of figures every day. Seeing that the situation was not good, Salem had to give up the outer city. After the third update, the soldiers were asked to transfer all their valuable supplies to the inner city with the nobles.

When Li Wei heard the scout's report, he seized the fighter's plane in time and ordered all the soldiers to get up from the bed and the entire army to attack the city. Not only did he push out all the siege towers, but the original ladders were also pushed out together and leaned against the city wall.

Salem cursed several times and ordered to speed up the entry into the inner city. But at this time, more than 100,000 Tang troops were at the city, and there were still some defenders guarding the city walls. Seeing the governor doing this, he clearly discarded them as cannon fodder. Seeing the Tang army climbing the city one after another, many soldiers put down their weapons and surrendered. The generals sent people to guard the prisoners, and ordered their subordinates to go down the city, come to the city gate, break into the city gate, open the city gate, and let the main forces of the Tang army enter the city.

Seeing a group of Tang troops swarming in, some soldiers riding straight towards the inner city gate on horseback. Salem, despite the fact that there were many noble tribes behind him, immediately closed the inner city gate.

Li Wei also entered the city.

First, he ordered a fortification to be constructed along the inner city wall to prevent the cannibals from breaking through. Then he ordered the soldiers entering the city not to have any bad behavior. Then he sent thousands of soldiers to guard the city gate, allowing them to enter and not leave.

This is the wealth in the moat.

The city of Gabrou and the city of Bari were destroyed, and the Tang army received a wealth of about one million yuan. The Tang army left a hand and let the local nobles go without plundering their property. However, the great cannibals were also governed in these two cities in a nearly vassal manner, and the local nobles could not be called the best friends of the great cannibals.

But the city of Moufu is different. It is impossible to get a wealth of 9 billion dinars like Taixifeng. Even if there is one, the Tang Dynasty could not use the city of Moufu as the cannibal, and at most it could only get half of it. But as the largest city in Central Asia, Moufu City is also quite wealthy.

Not only were there wealth plundered by the nobles of the Great Food, but also the wealth of many Persians. These Persians all defected to the Great Food and became the new powerful people in the city of Moufu. They did business, loan sharks, exploited, land and real estate, and relied on the Great Food and fox to pretend to be the power of the tiger, and they also accumulated a large amount of property. For example, the Persian merchant killed by Kang Dawei. The property plundered by the official Dashi. These three sources of wealth also constituted an important wealth composition of the city of Moufu.

They are all the targets of Li Wei's investigation this time.

These people and these property are mainly in the inner city, and there are also some of the outer city. But now they cannot move, for fear of arousing the aspirations of some people in the inner city, so they blocked them first, and then cleaned up after conquering the inner city.

Then many soldiers were sent to maintain order. By dawn, the order in the outer city became orderly. Salem was not worried, and concentrated in the inner city, with a reduced defense range. He prepared a large amount of supplies and food in advance, and a wall that was more than three times taller than the outer city wall, which was enough for him to hold on for several months.

Looking at the Tang army patrolling outside the city wall, Salem arranged a new defense.

In the afternoon, Li Wei ordered the soldiers to launch the first tentative attack. However, this attack suffered heavy sacrifices. Salem saw the shortcomings of Mufu City a long time ago and decided to make the inner city a place to stand.

All the main cities guarding equipment were moved to the inner city, including some large trenchers. Not only were there earth-burning bombs on the top of the city, but also many huge stones. Some of them weighed more than 100 kilograms, and they knocked down the siege tower in a few seconds.

This fall, at a height of thirty or forty meters, the soldiers fell down, and one out of ten were left.

Seeing that Li Wei was suffering heavy casualties, he had to withdraw his troops and wanted to plan another way.

The common people in the city did not know that they thought that the outer city had been broken, and wouldn’t it be a matter of time? Hearing that the Ni Nirvana Master came to the city of Moufu soon, it was even possible that the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty held a holy fire ceremony for him. The Persian emperor ascended the throne. One was to burn the holy fire, the second was to enthrone the emperor, and the third was to crown it, so that he could become a real emperor, and the hundred peoples in the city sang and danced.

When Salem saw Persia happy, he became evil. Originally, it was separated from the inner city to the houses, but not far away, there were all the houses. Salem ordered to use the can burn bomb to project towards the houses. After a while, the fire started to burn, and the fire spread rapidly to the periphery with the momentum of the summer wind.

This incident was unexpected by all the Tang generals. Li Wei issued an order, not to siege the city, and put out the fire first. First, remove part of the houses at the lower wind and make a vacuum zone to prevent the fire from spreading downward. He also dredge well water to extinguish the fire one by one.

It was not until the fourth hour that the fire was extinguished.

The next day, Salem got up and looked at the broken walls outside the city wall, laughing. The people of the Tang Dynasty wanted to win people's hearts, but this time some were busy. Originally, the people in the city were dense, and more than 100,000 troops rushed in to return. In addition, so many houses were burned, let's see how you can deal with the aftermath?

Over time, the contradictions will inevitably intensify. Once the reinforcements of Dashi arrived, they will cooperate inside and outside, and you will wait for destruction. Unfortunately, they have too few troops in their hands and their morale is low. Otherwise, taking advantage of the sudden attack of the Tang Dynasty army when they put out fires last night, they might be able to turn defeat into victory.
