Chapter 37: Massacre the City

Abdullah didn't sleep well all night and felt very upset.

The meeting with Abu Muslim last night did not solve the problem well, but instead made him feel more uneasy.

With Abu Muslim's wisdom, he still failed to see through Tang Jun's intentions. The seemingly comforting words made him feel even more unsure.

"Damn!" Abdullah spat out a swear word and said, "It made the anger of the old man, and he pushed the broken city directly..."

Of course, he was just showing off his verbal advantage. If he could attack strongly, Tuozhecheng would have been defeated long ago.

Tuozhe City has no strategic value at all. What is valuable are the kings of the Western Regions in the city.

Arabs were also wary of Feng Changqing in the city, Yan Gaoqing and others who were willing to take a gamble. When the city fell, they removed the kings of the Western Regions and then framed them.

The war was in chaos, and even if you knew it was framed, it would be unreasonable.

They simply did not fight or attack, forcing Tuozhecheng to surrender himself.

At that point, whether Feng Changqing or Yan Gaoqing killed the kings of the Western Regions or not, it had nothing to do with them, and they were the ones who benefited the ultimately.

If Feng Changqing and Yan Gaoqing were killed cruelly, hatred would naturally be on the Tang army. It would undoubtedly be a fool to want the Tang Dynasty to control the Western Regions comfortably. If it was not killed, the kings of all countries would also become their captives. With the kings of all countries in the Western Regions, why worry about the unscrupulous countries of all countries not obeying the orders?

There is no need to ruin this victory.

"General, General!"

Abdullah was beating haha ​​and suddenly received a report from the deputy general.

"Submitted, a white flag was hung on the top of Tuozhe City. The city gate was opened, and they surrendered!"

The deputy general's words made Abdullah feel a little unbelievable, and immediately ran out of the camp. If he didn't see it with his own eyes, he really didn't believe that victory came so suddenly and happiness came so quickly.

Looking at the city head of Tuozhe City in the distance, the two banners that originally fluttered in the wind, belonging to the Shi Kingdom and the Tang Dynasty had disappeared, replaced by a white flag.

"Hurry, go and notify the Lion King, and I will say that Tuozhe City can't hold on anymore!"

He was ecstatic and was about to accept it, but suddenly calmed down again. It was reasonable that Tuozhe City could not hold on, but he couldn't hold on so quickly, but was not in the plan. He said solemnly: "Be careful of fraud, let's do it with caution!"

When Mosremasa arrived at Tuozhe City, she saw a gray face.

"How could it happen?"

Mosremasa looked at his beloved general.

Abdullah wanted to be angry but couldn't come out; she wanted to be angry but didn't know where to get angry. It took a long time to put in a sentence: "It's gone!"

"What's missing? People? Who's missing? Is it Feng Changqing, or Yan Gaoqing? Or who is the leader of the Western Regions?" Mosremasa reacted instantly.

"All of them are gone!" Abdullah felt depressed.

Mosremasa instantly whipped it down and shouted angrily: "How come the living person disappeared? How did you guard it?"

With a heavy whip, a red bloodline was printed on Abdullah's face.

Abdullah couldn't say a word.

Abu Muslim hurriedly stood up and said, "I must be hiding somewhere. General Abu has always been rigorous and will not let the other party get away with it. Even if General Abu missed it, it is not only him who surrounded Tuozhe City, but also us. How could the other party quietly pass through my 200,000 military camp?"

Mosremasa said, "Search and dig three feet into the ground, and you must find the group of turtles for me. If you interrogate one by one, I don't believe that they can still grow wings and fly?"

All the soldiers who surrendered from the city were tortured and forced confessions one by one. Thirty thousand soldiers rushed into Tuozhe City, demolished the houses and uncovered the tiles. Ren Shi failed to find the shadows of Feng Changqing, Yan Gaoqing and the kings of the Western Regions.

Although he didn't know how the other party retreated, Mosremasa knew that he had failed again.

The feeling of humiliation surged in my heart. Mosremasa looked at Takuzhe City and a word popped out of her mouth.

"kill!"

At his order, no one in Tuozhe City was spared...

*******

Tang Army Beidaying.

Pei Min was waiting outside the camp gate anxiously, looking at the northwest direction, feeling a little uneasy.

Hot air balloons are products beyond this era, and Pei Min has enough confidence to believe that Arabs will never be wary of them falling from the sky.

But the only shortcoming is that hot air balloons are not self-controlled high-tech like aircraft. The power of hot air balloons comes from wind and heat sources. The heat source is the main key to lifting the hot air balloons, and wind is the only power for the movement of hot air balloons.

This is the same whether it is ancient or modern. Hot air balloons have no rudders, and their movement direction must be with the wind. Different heights, different times, different places, and wind directions are different. If you want to adjust the direction, you need to find different wind layers.

But the ancient environment cannot be compared with later generations.

The fuels in later generations were propane, liquefied gas, the materials were heat-resistant nylon cloth, and pressure chambers and other safety measures.

In ancient times, this condition was not met at all. The balls of hot air balloons were made of heat-resistant lizard skin, and the fuel was Greek fire, so there was no pressure tank at all.

Therefore, the hot air balloons they developed could not be lifted out of space for more than 1,000 meters like those in later generations.

Three or four hundred meters are already the limit, and you will be affected by various influences when you go up.

Moreover, the time is too tight, and the operator does not understand the performance characteristics of the hot air balloons well.

If something happens in the air, then it will be a shame.

Moreover, even if Feng Changqing and his friends flew out of Tuozhe City, they would not be able to return to the Tang army camp.

At that time, the west wind blew, flying to the west far away from the Tang army camp.

Therefore, Feng Changqing and his team also needed to bypass the Arab military camp and return to the Tang military camp to be truly safe.

In short, the rescue tactics of hot air balloons are certainly a masterpiece, but the danger is self-evident.

Pei Min was also worried. He could not feel at ease if he had not seen Feng Changqing with his own eyes and Yan Gaoqing's return.

The sound of horse hooves in the distance sounded, and the mighty cavalry team rushed towards them like lightning.

Pei Min was shocked and stood in the stirrups, stretching her neck to look west.

These days he arranged for You Yi's army to raid the Arab herds. On the one hand, he forced the Arab herds to retreat to Tochar, and on the other hand, he created opportunities for Feng Changqing, Yan Gaoqing and others to welcome them to cross the defense line of the Arab army.

The heroic Xia Shan came first, turned over and dismounted cleanly, and bowed, "Have you seen Pei Shuai?"

Pei Min couldn't wait to step forward and said, "How is it, have you saved me?"

He found his voice trembling a little.

Xia Shan also said with some excitement: "Fortunately, I have not been humiliated!"
