Yousuf's Tang downfall brings two benefits:

The first is to make the money, food, and materials originally planned to be used in the city of Labadi surplus, and the degree of loss of troops is acceptable, and there is an incentive to continue fighting. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

The big cannibal plan to use the fortified city to consume the Tang army's manpower, property and property strategy was actually the opposite, and finally Wei Xi came up with a risky offensive strategy of "not flanking", going straight into it with a single knife and only taking one way.

If he attacked one city after another, he would not be able to finish the city until he went bankrupt.

The second is that Yusuf led the way, which greatly enhanced Wei Xi's confidence, and he was determined to rush forward to see if he could defeat Damascus!

……

The city of Labadi fell, the defender Yusuf surrendered the city, and the news came out, which completely collapsed the defense line of the two rivers in white clothes!

Yusuf sent a letter to the lords and guards of the cities to explain the policy of the Tang army, and received a good response, and the cities of Tikrit, Samara, Kut, Divanya, Kufa, and Haditha in the valley of the two rivers were all summoned!

They originally had some troops, and when they were sent to rescue Labadi City, they were wiped out by the Tang Army, and when they were nervous, they saw that the Tang Army had laid down the painstakingly managed Labadi City, and even the main generals had surrendered and been reused, so they learned from each other, no one was willing to defend it anymore, and they were scrambling to get a good way out for themselves before the fall of the White Food Dynasty!

The loss of the defense line of the two river basins is not trivial, which means that the Don army opened the passage to attack Damascus!

Up to now, even the most determined cannibals have seen that the great eclipse is about to be destroyed, and they know the affairs and quickly jump away from the sinking ship.

For a time, the number of people who came to the city of Labadi to ask for surrender was overcrowded, and the Tang army opened the door of convenience, sealed the officials and made a wish, and they took the cavalry mobile unit as the support, sent personnel to take over the city, reorganized the team, and opened study classes to train officials in rotation, and they were too busy to switch.

Therefore, Wei Xi's expedition to the west is always not enough people and not enough money to spend!

Anyone who comes to help Wei can reap a lot of rewards,

……

The situation was extremely favorable to the Tang Dynasty, and many cities in the two river basins were surrendered, so that the Tang army no longer worried about the flanks.

In particular, the city of Labadi is more than a thousand miles west of Damascus, where the city is scarce and the people are in short supply.

There was a city called Lutba, and Yusuf led thousands of troops to besiege the city.

The army under his command reached 50,000 people, 20,000 cavalry and 30,000 infantry, except for a small number of officers, most of them were great cannibals who returned to Shun, all of whom gave themselves Chinese names, and were working night shifts in the army to learn Chinese.

All believed in the Bodhisattva, completely discarded the original religion, and became the vanguard of the Tang army's westward expedition.

"I am the former governor of the Umayyad River Valley, Hajaji bin Yusuf, the Tang Dynasty marched westward, conformed to the will of heaven, the Bodhisattva defeated the false gods, I realized my previous mistakes, and returned to the Tang Dynasty!

If you don't hurry back, you can welcome the king!

I Datang will love the people, will not kill innocents indiscriminately, if not surrendered, our army will be killed into the city, and the chickens and dogs will not be left! ”

I have to say that Yusuf is a qualified leader of the party, his words are really too lethal, even such a high-ranking official as the governor of the two river basins has been demoted, what are the others!

The defenders of Lutba City still had a backbone, and deliberately lured him: "What you say, we can't hear clearly, please step forward again!" ”

Yusuf was such an old traitor, how could he be fooled, and immediately sent twenty loud soldiers to shout in his place, only to hear the panic of the soldiers and civilians of Lutba City.

Seeing that it was not the road, the defenders of the city shot arrows indiscriminately, and Yusuf smiled and said: "Since you don't know the affairs, send them to see their gods!" ”

The Tang army besieged the city with 300 flying thunder cannons, and it started at the same time!

Tons of explosives flew up in the air, and those linoleum-wrapped millstone-like things leaped into the sky from all directions, carrying flames and smoke, flying, tumbling, whistling, drawing terrifying trajectories in the air, and then falling down in dense clusters, smashing their heads into the stunned cannibals.

A violent explosion took place in front of them!

The people who were close to the bombing point were blown up to the point of flying on all fours, and their heads were crooked!

The ones near the explosion point were blown up until they were covered in blood.

Although the farther cannibals were lucky enough to escape, they were also blown into dementia and had no reaction to the outside world.

What's more, the flying iron nails and steel balls covered almost all the city walls, and when they hit people, they were terrifying little blood holes!

The thunderbolt cannon fired three salvos, and no one could stand on the four walls of the city of Lutba.

Then the Tang army took the city wall lightly, and the soldiers and civilians in the city asked to surrender, and the Tang army allowed it!

He also sent the officers of the city as representatives to the nearby city of Ubaila to persuade them to surrender, told them about the terror of the Tang army, and even carried three wounded men over to show them.

As a result, the city of Ubayra immediately surrendered!

"Rush! Rush! Rush! "The Don cavalry charged forward!

Yusuf, the former general of the Great Food, personally led the way and took the Great Food Damascus directly!

……

Needless to say, the news from the front arrived in Damascus one after another, and all the subjects were shocked!

The enemy from the east has hit you in front of you in the blink of an eye!

"Get out! Get lost! Get lost! "The king's court, caliph Abd al-Malik roared madly, causing the messenger to crawl away.

Harry never imagined that his closest general would dare to turn his back on him, and in vain he would cut back on food and clothing, try his best to raise personnel and materials for him, and have high hopes for him, however, he disappointed him!

When his emotions subsided, he looked at Vizier Hamadi and asked, "Now that the matter has come to this, do you have any good plans?" ”

It turned out that his most effective Viziernetu had died of illness, and Hamadi was his successor, and he was also conscientious and worked hard.

But in any case, it is not as good as Netu, and there is also a vizier Culkin who committed suicide in the war, and now the Great Food King Court is withering.

Hearing the Caliph's inquiry, Hammadi thought to himself, "You ask me, who shall I ask?"

He didn't dare to slack off, and said: "Supreme Caliph, the strategy now is to summon the troops of the Quartet to the capital to serve the king, shrink our forces in the north, and concentrate the army and the people in Damascus for defense!" ”

After a pause, he continued: "Drain their strength, they have come from afar, the east and west are thousands of miles apart, and we will cut off their supply lines again......"

"At the same time, strengthen the defense of the city, immediately control the grain in the city, collect the grain from all over the city into the city, and strictly control the materials. From now on, the city is not allowed to enter or leave, and all residents are organized into an army for training. ”

"Report!" Someone shouted hurriedly, interrupting Hamadi's words, and went straight into the temple.

The chamberlain, who had just been driven away, made a comeback, his face full of horror, and brought even worse news: "The troops of General Zarahan in the north were ambushed by the Tang army at Apoll, and 100,000 troops were routed!" “

"Ahh Harry was so angry that he vomited blood and fainted on the spot!
