Chapter 439: Doing a Big Thing

After a handful of Mongols were copied and an elder of the Hashemite family was trampled into flesh with horses' hooves, Yang Feng's attack on Tus ended in victory.

The next stop is Nizapur.

But he was a step late, for on the same day he captured Tus, Abu Abu. The Khorasan army led by Mu Silin finally returned, and defeated part of the Sogdian army sent by Yang Feng to attack there under the city of Nizapur, but fortunately, the Western Route Army led by Yang Xianzhong happened to arrive for reinforcements, and the Khorasan army, which had just returned from a long journey, was exhausted and did not dare to continue the pursuit and withdrew into Nizapur, so the losses of the Sogdian coalition army were not too great.

"Okay, isn't it just that thousands of people have died, go back and conquer Nizapur, you guys go in first!"

Yang Feng said.

The Sogdian generals were immediately refreshed.

Whoever enters the city is who picks a good place first, and before that, it was the most advanced city of the Tang Army, and then the most valuable place was occupied, and it can be said that one-third of the wealth of a city will be in hand.

Now Yang Feng gives them this good thing?

What more could you ask for with such a good leader!

At this moment, these Sogdian generals were full of emotion, as for the 3,000 people they died......

Who cares which one!

Just get the benefits for the living!

The dead will die, and we will take care of their wives and daughters.

"Commander, Abu. Mu Silin's subordinates have not all arrived yet, so it is better to take this opportunity to attack Nizapur, deal with this guy first, and then deal with his follow-up, and just got a report from the Zoroastrians from the south that only the Khorasan army is going north this time, and the Great Food Army has not provided them with any reinforcements! ”

Yang Xianzhong said.

"That's right, Mansour would love him to die!"

Yang Feng sneered.

Indeed, al-Mansur wished for Abu. Mu Silin died in the hands of the Tang army, it is best to even wipe out the Khorasan army, at this time he has the throne, these guys should also be cooked, although Yang Feng is invading his land, but in fact, for Mansur, this invader is the real ally. Even if Yang Feng defeated or even completely annihilated the Khorasan army, it would be impossible to cross the Persian plateau to fight him, Khorasan was not important to Mansur, there were rich plains of two rivers, the Mediterranean coast and the Nile Delta, and he did not value Khorasan isolated on the other side of the plateau. And the Khorasan Legion, a military group that has dominated two changes of thrones and one change of dynasty, is Mansour's henchman, and no monarch can tolerate the existence of such a courtier, even if this courtier is loyal to himself. It would be good for Mu Silin to stab him in the back, how could he provide support to the latter.

But this is the case......

"Wait, wait for his army to arrive!"

Yang Feng sneered.

"Jieshuai, our casualties are not small."

Yang Xianzhong reminded him.

The casualties of the coalition army are indeed not small, because they always like to slaughter the city, and there is no room for killing and killing the big cannibals, so whether it is Herat or Tus, the big cannibals are bloody battles to the end, although they do not need to bear the casualties of the siege, but the street battles in the city are also bloody and tragic, only in Herat, the casualties of the coalition army are nearly 10,000, plus Memane, Tus and Mare and other places, in fact, including those Persian cannon fodder, the casualties of the coalition army have exceeded 20,000......

Of course, this is a coalition casualty.

In fact, the casualties of the Don army were less than two hundred.

But after all, it was a casualty, and they were still in Herat, and they were divided into transporting booty, and there were also those who attacked the city of Jiling, and the current force in Tus was only 50,000.

And after the Khorasan army arrives, plus the Nizapur and nearby food army, their total strength is probably not less than 100,000 people, that is to say, they will have a double advantage, the best choice at present is to take advantage of the fact that the Khorasan army has not yet arrived, and go all out to break Nizapur, as long as Nizapur is captured, this southern expedition will actually be completely victorious, and even if the Khorasan army arrives in the future, it will not be able to recapture Nisapur from the Tang army, let alone Tus and Herat, they will have to accept this reality and turn to defense, Blocking the Don army from moving forward.

Attacking immediately is the best option.

"No, we'll wait!"

Yang Feng said with a strange smile.

He was going to do something big, and he suddenly found that his weakening of the Khorasan legion had reached the point where he needed to pause, and he eliminated the Khorasan legion, which must have been a good thing for Mansur, and even conducive to the unity within the Great Eclipse.

And what he needs is a split within the Big Eat.

And the best way to split the Great Eclipse would be to weaken Mansur instead of the Khorasan Legion.

It must also be made clear that what he was going to cut from the Great Eclipse was in fact Herat, Mare and Tus, plus Nezapur and the city of Gelling, but there was no need for more land, because it was the Persian's own business, and he could not do much for the Persian king. In fact, the Persian king is too strong, and it is not good for him, if he really wants to let the Persian king return to his homeland, then he needs to face a new enemy, Persia was also ambitious at that time, and even expanded its territory to Central Asia, so maintaining a Persia with Khorasan as the core is beneficial to him, but if this Persia includes more places, it will be unfavorable to him.

The king of Persia will not be very obedient.

And the whole of Khorasan is left with Nizapur in his hands.

There is also the base on the southern shore of the Caspian Sea, which should be said to have been obtained, his target is Gorgan, at this time the name is Shirkania, a province in the Sassanid era, where the port of Tolkaman is an important port on the southern shore of the Caspian Sea, and it is crossed from the mountains to the north from Tus, where there is no strategic importance, and in fact there is no garrison of the Great Food Army, as long as the army is driven over, it can be taken, that is to say, what he wants, except for this Nizapur, all other places have been obtained.

But he couldn't stop, and he continued to attack until he ......

Hit all the way to Ctesiphon.

This crazy thought made him feel an irrepressible excitement all of a sudden.

Indeed, he was about to hit Ctesiphon.

Here is more than 3,000 miles away from Ctesiphon, the road is no problem, just along the Silk Road, from here to the west to Tehran, of course, at this time there is no Tehran, there is the important town of northern Persia, from Rai to the southwest, along the Silk Road to Baghdad, or Ctesiphon, Ctesiphon is dozens of miles southeast of Baghdad, and the current capital of Dashi is still in Kufa, not far east of Baghdad, the real capital of Baghdad is Mansurgan, that is to say, he can directly hit the capital of Dashi, Then burn and loot in Kufa, not only to obtain the greatest wealth, but also to discredit the majesty of al-Mansur, and at the same time to make the Great Eater Emperor a joke.

Just like when the Eight-Nation Coalition entered Beijing.

And al-Mansour's imperial power became a joke, and his strength was dealt a heavy blow, and as a result, careerists from all over the world took action.

The Hashemite family has just seized power for a few years, and even a remnant of the Umayyad family is fleeing to Spain, originally in history he will soon be supported by the Berbers, North Africa and Spain part of the Great Food Army, the establishment of the post-Umayyad dynasty with Spain as the territory, that is, the white clothes of the Great Food in ancient Chinese books, and even immediately after the Berbers also established a country with Algeria and Morocco as the core, and the big cannibals in Syria and Egypt are not loyal to the Hashemite family, Once the Hashemite family is too weakened and allows these people to see the opportunity, then they will all understand the separatism.

In other words, if he breaks through Kufa, it is likely that the entire Great Eclipse will be torn apart, and although it will not perish, it is very promising to become a warlord melee.

That's something to look forward to.

But before that, he had to deal with the Khorasan legions, not to destroy, of course, but in another way.

A better way.

"You're going to have to use your brain!"

Yang Feng held a cute little sand cat in his arms, sat on the chair with a deep face, and raised his head to look at the sunny sky.

Behind him, Li Ying'e beat him on the shoulder very sensibly, and then gently rubbed one of his two organs on his neck, just like the sand cat in his arms that rubbed his head, when Yang Xianzhong's back disappeared, Yang Feng suddenly threw the cat backwards and grabbed her clothes, and dragged it over in her screams......

In the next few days, Yang Feng's army did not attack Nizapur, but comfortably rested in the city of Tus, after all, it was very tiring to fight for such a long time, there were materials in Tus City, some were women, and the warriors of all ethnic groups who came for the restoration of Persia enjoyed the food left by the big cannibals, while enjoying the female slaves that were caught, this kind of life was also very comfortable, for example, Yang Dashuai and Her Royal Highness the Princess of Persia are like glue these days, almost inseparable, In the evening, the high-spirited screams of Her Royal Highness the Princess resounded throughout the Shuai Mansion.

In short, it's a complete joy.

But in the city of Nizapur, across the hill from them, Abu . Mu Silin and his Khorasan legions never dared to come and disturb them.

Although his army is also constantly arriving.

The Khorasan legion has been frightened, the last time under the black city of Bari, the figure like a demon god and those Tang cavalry wrapped in iron armor are like nightmares, always imprinted in the brains of the Khorasan legionnaires, they don't have the courage to be in the field against these invincible enemies, only the city wall can give them the courage to face the Tang army, they don't dare to fight, Abu. Mu Silin had never thought of regaining the lost land from Yang Feng, he knew that it was impossible.

All he wanted to do now was to stop Yang Feng from moving forward.

In this way, the two sides faced off strangely for ten days.

Ten days later, the Khorasan legions all entered Nizapur.
