Chapter 1033: Attack the Court! (1)

Chapter 1033

Hyderabad's ore is scarce and its output is extremely low. Because of its characteristics, it has become the target of attacks and looting by the remnants of the various dynasties conquered by the Dashi. The big cannibal has not reached the level of Datang in terms of the application of Hyderabad ore, but after long-term experiments, he has gradually figured out a set of methods to quench Hyderabad ore, blend it with other metals, and greatly improve their sharpness. method.

Although the weapons forged in this way have not yet reached the point where the Uzi steel sword of the Tang Dynasty can be cut off, even the dark green "God Armor" of the Cathay Legion can be cut, but it has already surpassed almost all the big food swords, The sharpness of the sword has reached a higher level.

Using the raw materials extracted from Hyderabad ore, combined with extraterrestrial star iron to forge weapons belonging to the Mamluk Legion, even if it is not as good as the Uzi steel sword, it will definitely not be much worse!

——At least Aybek and Feisal are convinced.

"Hoof da da!"

After everything was arranged properly, just as Aybek was about to leave, suddenly, there was a rush of hoofbeats. I saw an iron horse suddenly broke in from the outside.

"stop!"

There was a burst of shouting around, screaming in the void, and a Mamluk cavalry swarmed from all directions, and the intruder was instantly locked on by a series of fierce aura. At the outermost edge of the courtyard, more than a dozen Mamluk warriors came across, blocking his way. Cooperating on all sides, in just a split second, the intruder immediately fell into a deadlock.

Seeing the flash of the knife and the sound of clanging and clanging, it only takes a moment for the intruder to die on the spot. Suddenly, Aybek stood on the steps and glanced at the golden robe on the man's body. In an instant, the whole person's face changed suddenly:

"stop!"

In an instant, as if time was frozen, all the drawn scimitars were suspended in the air, and a dozen Mamluk cavalrymen all stopped. And Eybeck had already descended from the steps and greeted the intruder.

Messenger of the Caliph!

These knights dressed in golden robes and decorated with complicated patterns are the messengers of the Caliph of the Great Food Empire. Each of them is a carefully selected, extremely loyal strongman who will only appear when performing extremely important tasks that the Emperor Caliph of the Empire attaches great importance to.

"Eybeck!"

howling the wind,

The knight in the golden robe, Lie Lie, sat on the horse and called out Aybek's name. His face was covered with a silvery-white mask full of tiny bee holes, condescending, and his voice was extremely cold:

"The caliph has an order that the Tang people in Hengluo must be destroyed. After success, the Mamluk army will cooperate with the three governors of Qudibo, Abu Muslim/Lin, and Ottoman to continue eastward. After conquering the entire eastern world, Mamluk The Leuk Legion will get a piece of the Promised Land as they wish, and it will be a permanent fief!"

The Caliph's messenger stated the purpose of coming here in one sentence.

"Shua!"

In an instant, the atmosphere in the backyard of the entire City Lord's Mansion changed drastically. Aybek hadn't spoken yet, but at the rear, Feisal, the second number in the Mamluks, and all the surrounding Mamluk legions suddenly changed their colors.

Promised Land!

This is the most persistent wish of all Mamluk warriors in the past, but it has never been realized. Although the Mamluk Legion is known as the strongest warrior and the most loyal force in the entire Dashi, and has made great contributions, if it were any other legion or general, the Dashi Emperor might have obtained his own fief long ago. However, the Mamluk Legion was restricted by a long-standing imperial law for some original reasons long ago, and was not included in the award.

So even though the reputation of the Mamluk Legion is now in the sky, and its combat effectiveness is unparalleled, it is like duckweed, running around, wherever there is a war, and will never have its own roots.

If there is a "promised land", it means that the Mamluk army can conscript, stay, train, collect taxes, operate..., and even breed offspring to become a huge Mamluk city . The entire Mamluk Legion will be able to break through the limit of 10,000 people and reach an unprecedented peak.

——This is what all Mamluk warriors dream of!

"grown ups!"

In an instant, the gazes of all the Mamluk soldiers became eager. Even Feisal could hardly keep his composure, and immediately stepped forward from behind, his breathing became even more disordered. No one thought that the Caliph would attach so much importance to the East, let alone that in order to conquer the East, the Caliph was even willing to break that convention and set such a condition.

"Aybek, this is His Majesty's token. If you hold this token, Harry will do what he says. Take it!"

On horseback, the caliph messenger in golden robes took out a black crescent-like metal token with many hollow patterns wrapped around it, and flew out with a wave of his hand:

"However, the caliph also brought an oral order. This Eastern Expedition is the only chance for the Mamluk Legion to obtain the promised land. If Talas cannot be appeased, -->>

To flatten the east, all the Mamluk cavalry, generation after generation, will be slaves forever, and will never be able to obtain any promised land again! "

"Buzz!"

Aybek and Feisal, the two supreme commanders of the Mamluk Legion, were all shaken, and their expressions suddenly became solemn.

"Subordinates lead the order!"

Both of them lowered their heads together.

...

Time passed slowly, and in Khorasan City, all the artisans of the big food raced against the clock to create a set of Mamluk’s latest extraterrestrial iron armor, while Abu Muslim/Lin of the Black Forest on the front line led The army, restrained with all its strength, avoided any engagement with Datang, and waited for the arrival of the two governors and the Mamluk army from the rear.

Every day there is new news, every day countless soldiers rush from Cairo and Tarsus to Khorasan in the rear, meet Mamluk, and then go to the Black Forest to meet Abu Mus/ forest confluence.

At the same time, in the distant city of Talas, there were also blazing flames and billowing smoke. Tens of thousands of Great Tang/army were practicing day and night in the city, constantly training. And no one knows that a group of nearly 10,000 people quickly selected from the Anxi Duhu Army, Qixi Duhu Army, and mercenaries from various tribes formed the first "Modao Samurai Legion" that the world has never seen before. Actively practicing.

Every day, there is a new atmosphere in the city of Talas.

All the soldiers of Datang, under Wang Chong's dispatch, were preparing for the battle with all their might.

And tens of miles away, Du Wusili practiced the formation and celestial phenomena day and night, using the thunder in the formation and celestial phenomena to train himself and strengthen his strength in order to reach a higher level.

In the adjacent place twenty miles away, the Uzbek Tibetan camp was peaceful, and Daqin Ruozan was sitting in the tent drinking tea leisurely. But no one knows that after crossing the Congling Ridge, crossing the Western Regions, and boarding the remote Uzbek Plateau, a new Uzbek army of about 40,000 people is preparing to go. Talas.

Although the four great empires and the three forces are calm on the surface and restraining each other, in private, they are more turbulent and treacherous than ever before!

War could break out at any time.

But when the sky above Talas was filled with battle clouds, on the other side, in the remote Middle Earth Divine Continent, in the imperial capital of the capital, there was a different atmosphere at this time. In the court, the debate on Heng Luosi also reached a fierce point. Gao Xianzhi and Wang Chong's memorial regarding the increase in troops was never passed.

"Your Majesty, I object!"

Above the court hall, the temples were frost-white, Zheng Chengli, the minister of the household department, who had passed the year of destiny, walked out of the train with a wat board in his hand:

"Since ancient times, I have only heard of people who have lost a battle and increased their troops. I have never heard of winning a battle and increasing their troops. Moreover, the imperial court spends a lot of money every year. Tens of millions of heads, 2.4 million feet of cloth, and 137 million taels of military pay. Last year, the Ministry of War spent 94 million shi of grain, 17 million heads of cattle and sheep, and 360 million taels of cloth. Ten thousand feet, 157 million taels of military pay. This year will only cost more, and this has not included the pensions for soldiers who died in battle."

"The Tang Dynasty has 600,000 soldiers and horses, and frequently fights abroad, consuming a lot of state money, which has become a heavy burden for the Tang Dynasty and the people!"

"More than that, frequent wars have caused heavy casualties to the soldiers. In order to supplement the frontier soldiers, they can only recruit soldiers from the common people. I accidentally learned that in some places, because of the excellent quality of the soldiers, the army has been recruited for many years, and even rarely appeared. It has eliminated the phenomenon that the fields are green and yellow!"

"good!"

As soon as Zheng Chengli, the minister of the household department, spoke, in another train, Zhou Taiqin, Taichang Qing, had already stepped out holding a wat board with a serious expression:

"Weichen just came back from his patrol on Hedong Road. He passed by Luzhou. There is a Zhouzhuang village. He saw along the way, except for the old and the weak, women and children, and there was no male in the whole village. Weichen was surprised, so he went up to ask, and found out that Zhouzhuang All the males in the village were conscripted and joined the army. The year before last, Beiting suffered a defeat in the battle against the *Jue Khanate. As a result, more than 90% of the males in the entire village were killed in that battle. The remaining 10% The men on the left and right were recruited to other places, including the Anxi Protectorate."

"Although what happened in Zhouzhuang is just an example, it is the epitome of Tang Dynasty. The Anxi Protectorate has already consumed a lot of state money every year, and the number of soldiers sent to the inland of China every year is unknown, but now, Talas still has to use troops , does it have to be that the situation in Luzhou is all over the Tang Dynasty, and even boys are dragged into the battlefield? I invite the soldiers and horses of Anxi and Qixi to retreat to the interior!"

When it came to the last sentence, Zhou Taiqin's voice was stern. In one sentence, many civil servants in the court echoed:

"That's right, my minister seconded the proposal!"

"The humble minister seconded the proposal!"

"The humble minister seconded the proposal!"

...

In the court hall, a famous civil servant was very excited. And at this moment, a high-pitched, stern voice resounded in the entire hall like pearls.
