Chapter 728: Leavened Cakes
The Turks and Nubians were still very strong in combat, and they beat the Ethiopian nobles to the point that they had to ask for the aid of the Tang army in order to resist these invaders.
With the assistance of these Don troops, the Ethiopian army once again repelled the attack of those Turks.
Under the attack of the Don army, the Turkic tribes and the tribes of the Nubians had to abandon the attack on the Ethiopians, and they retreated to the northern nomadic tribes, hoping to get through among them.
The nomadic tribes of Ethiopia provided the Turks with fermented cakes to eat, and the Nubians ate them sweetly.
However, the Turks, who had always been honest and hard-working, also felt that they could not stand it.
Suleiman, the leader of the Turks, could not hold back his tears, he said: "These Ethiopians, as soon as they have the opportunity, they will take revenge on us, it seems that it is still necessary for us to completely conquer them, these damned leavened cakes, is this what people eat?" Even pigs don't eat these things, okay. ”
In fact, among the Turkic peoples, they have legends that among the nomadic tribes of Ethiopia, they also did not stay long.
Because Tang Zhangwei is likely to lead a large army to attack them, in fact, Tang Zhangwei once conquered these barbarians in Ethiopia and taught them civilization, but even if they completely conquered those barbarian tribes, the diet of these ethnic groups still has no way to make Tang Zhangwei and their Tang army habitual.
As a last resort, the Tang army could only rely on barbecue camel meat and all kinds of old and weak war horses to ensure that they had enough to eat.
The Ethiopians were also pitiful, boasting, "Whoever eats delicious leavened bread will ascend to heaven." "But Tang Zhangwei and they don't want to eat those delicious foods at all, these people want to please Tang Zhangwei when they see Tang Zhangwei and them, but whenever Tang Zhangwei and they see the food provided by those Ethiopians, they feel sick to their stomachs.
Both Tang Zhaozong and Shi Baoqiang, the king of the Kingdom of David, came to this place because here, there is a legendary ark of the covenant.
Legend has it that the Ark of the Covenant was brought back from the Kingdom of David by the sons of Solomon of the Kingdom of David and the Queen of Sheba.
According to legend, Solomon's son Manerick I designed to change from King Solomon to the real Ark of the Covenant, but after Tang Zhangwei saw the Ark of the Covenant, he felt that this thing was not very valuable, and if he had to get this thing away, he would offend those barbarian tribes of Ethiopia, so he gave up.
However, the king of the Kingdom of David, Shi Baoqiang, was very interested in this ark of the covenant.
The king of the Kingdom of David, Shi Baoqiang, rode a large wooden bird from distant Jerusalem to Ethiopia, where no one invited him.
At this time, the church in Ethiopia, as well as the emperors of Ethiopia, were very pitiful, and they relied on the alms of the Tang army to barely maintain their religious beliefs and dignity.
Under pressure from the Turks and Nubians, the Moon cultists aggressively developed their own adherents.
The Ethiopians had to turn to the officials of the Tang Empire, to Tang Zhaozong, to Tang Zhangwei, to the Eastern Roman Emperor Leo VI, who wanted to resist the Turkic people, who were constantly invading and humiliating them.
These Turks, one more rampant than the other, thought of the Ethiopian girls. These people feel that there is nothing more to the unpalatable leavened cakes.
These people hurried to the various nomadic tribes of Ethiopia, and they controlled the nomadic tribes in the north through wars and marriages.
In order to improve the diet of the Turkic king Suleiman, the local nomadic tribes of Ethiopia offered him a lot of honey.
In Ethiopia, there are many beekeepers, these people travel through the semi-desert nomadic tribal areas of the Ethiopian plateau, and they chase the merchants of the Tang Dynasty.
In Ethiopia, those Tang merchants brought many goods.
These merchants came to the Ethiopian highlands with large quantities of grain, delicious sweets, silk clothes, and all kinds of food.
Those merchants of the Tang Dynasty marketed their wares to each nomadic tribe.
When the nomadic tribes had no money to pay, they bought the cattle and sheep of the nomadic tribes, so that the nomadic tribes had the money to buy these goods.
These Tang merchants became the prey of the Turkic king Suleiman, of course, this guy is very cunning, he never used his reputation to attack these merchants, he used the reputation of other local tribes.
Once these hapless merchants were captured by the Turkic king Suleiman, they became meat tickets.
When the Tang merchants fell into the hands of King Suleiman one after another, they began to provide the Turks and Nubians with a large amount of Tang treasure money and supplies.
Because, the merchants of the Tang Dynasty provided many materials. Therefore, these Datang businessmen have become the shameful helpers of the autonomous demons.
After Tang Zhangwei learned about this situation, he felt that he could no longer let this situation happen.
Tang Zhangwei led 80,000 Ethiopian cavalry and attacked the Turks, Nubians, and nomadic tribes who had submitted to Suleiman.
In Tang Zhangwei's mind, these guys deserve to die.
Of course, the Turkic king Suleiman was not willing to be exterminated.
At his call, the nomadic tribes of northern Ethiopia raised 50,000 troops for him, and with the remnants of the Turkic tribes and the Nubians, he barely managed to muster 70,000 men.
The Turkic king Suleiman ate melon seeds and peanuts, and he said to his subordinates: "These peanuts are called longevity fruit among the merchants of the Tang Dynasty, and this peanut is indeed quite delicious." ”
His Nubian subordinate Ezana, said: "As long as we find a way to defeat those stupid Don troops, we will be able to inform the entire Ethiopian plateau again." ”
However, Tang Zhangwei's army of 80,000 Ethiopians, 10,000 troops of the Kingdom of David, 10,000 of Catherine's knights, and 10,000 troops of Bai Cunxiao attacked the Turkic forces.
The Turks let the Nubians, and the armies of the northern nomadic tribes fight back against the Don army in their place, and at the same time these people want to flee from the battlefield. Because, they have suffered the losses of those Tang troops countless times.
So, when these Don troops rushed over, the Turks let the Nubians and the cavalry of the nomadic tribes rush forward, and they retreated.
These Tang troops launched an attack on those nomadic tribes.
These people were surrounded and annihilated by the Tang army, and they cried and tried to escape from the attack of the Tang army's crossbows and Greek fire, but they could not find a chance.
