didn't know that he had almost ended the war, and seeing the big crater blown up in front of him, Yao Chong and the others were still speechless.

Luckily, Yao Chong found the cause of the Shatt al-Arab tial-Arab till of the river, the rushing water of which was blocked by a boulder that jutted out of the middle of the river, and there were traces of knives and axes, which were actually abandoned by the ancient Persians to build their royal palaces in Mesopotamia.

The river water washed to the side of the boulder, the torrent was widely dispersed, scoured out of a shoal, and also divided a few direct flows, after years and months there is this crossing point, if the boulder is removed, the river is not blocked, and it will return to the original river.

Using the Shatt al-Arab, it is possible to delay the Bedouin army for a day or two.

Gave up Xinhe Fort last night, more than 150 soldiers directly carried shovels, axes, desperately smashed boulders, a night of hard work, but only dug a small opening, finally, the ruthless Song Jing ordered to send the Jingshi as a treasure, but they were hidden in Xinhe Fort like garbage More than 20 barrels of black powder were all stuffed into the dug hole, left more than ten meters, and ignited the gunpowder.

The power generated by the chemical energy not only surpassed Song Jing's expectation of jumping boulders to the river bank a few times, but the crushed stones even knocked down the Confucian soldiers who were watching the excitement around him, looking at the stone chips inserted behind Song Jing's buttocks, it is conceivable that fortunately he was not killed.

In disbelief, watching the river return to its old ways hundreds of years ago, the tributaries dried up instantly, and he was stunned for a long time, Yao Chong suddenly turned around excitedly and hugged Song Jing, who had finally gotten up, and shouted in trembling surprise: "We succeeded!" It worked!!! ”

Although he was also full of joy, he was hugged hard by Yao Chong, and the clothes and armor that were lifted up added a few more to the edge of the wound, and in an instant, Song Chuhe's face turned white, and he trembled in pain for a long time, and then he pushed Yao Chong's shoulder tremblingly.

"Brother, it hurts ......"

"What you didn't say, Brother Song, you are decisive!" Yao Chong, who understood the mistake, was surprised again and slapped Song Jing's buttocks.

His face turned from white to green, and there were big drops of cold sweat on his head, and he trembled and straightened his chest unprecedentedly, stiffened for a few seconds, Song Jing simply chirped on the ground like a rice cake, and in an instant, all the happy soldiers around him were stupid.

"Captain!"

"Brother Song, are you okay?"

"Someone, bring the carriage quickly!"

…………

In a short time, the Confucian soldiers had already walked cleanly, and only a moment later, the earth rumbled and shook, trampling the ground full of smoke, and hundreds of thunderous Bedouin riders galloped wildly, angrily killing the position where the Confucian soldiers had just cut the river.

Seeing the upturned boulder, the leader of the Takuisi clan, Abatai, with his black curly beard, had a rough face full of disbelief, jumped off his horse and rushed to the front in astonishment, and shouted in amazement.

"O Lord Almighty! How can it be? ”

In fact, this flood gave the Bedouin army extremely limited lethality, and many camels were washed away in a hurry, but only about 30 unlucky ghosts were really drowned, compared to the 140,000 army, but it was a major blow to morale, and it was a lot more turbulent, and the waist-deep Shatt al-Arab blocked the way of the army.

"Abatai, this idiot, why didn't you find out if there were any Min people who did it before crossing the river, you should be killed!" Dead in more than thirty years, almost all of them were of the Berke tribe, and his face full of flesh was almost taut like a crab, and the old fellow jumped on the shore and yelled and cursed, wishing that he would cut Abatai with a big knife now.

However, Abatai is not without a backstage, and the chiefs of the main tribes in the Gulf of Oman almost jumped out, pointing at Berk's nose and calling him a pig, he was stupid, and he deserved to die.

The Omanis huddled together, angering the Yemeni chiefs, who also hugged together and slammed foul language at the Omanis.

Arabia does not have the perfect etiquette of China, so many scruples, and even many tribes just declare their allegiance to Saladin, secretly still playing their own small calculations, not caring at all about Saladin, who is standing on the shore and covered with mud and water and his face is wounded, a group of people howl loudly and greet each other's mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother Yunyun.

No one noticed that Saladin's scarred face was as gloomy as it had been on the eve of a storm.

"Enough, shut up the Ben Caliph!"

The fury of the thunder erupted, and the scimitar in his hand slashed at the neck of the fine war horse that had just fallen off him, and the war horse fell to the ground with a wail, looking back at Saladin who was covered in blood in shock, and dozens of tribal chieftains were silent, and finally all closed their mouths.

Looking at the shrunken chieftains, Saladin became even angrier.

"Just like you are a plate of loose sand, how can you beat the Min people, how can you grab the silk and silk like the Fujian people's mountain, and the wealth of grain? You deserve to eat sand in the desert for the rest of your life! ”

Reaching out to pull over the leader of the tribe who was first conquered by himself, Berkel, and reaching out for a big slap, Saladin scolded angrily.

"Bakkel, you immediately find wood to build a bridge, cross the river to find the Fujian people for revenge, and you will immediately send people to this radius of dozens of miles to turn over the bottom to the sky, dig three feet into the ground and dig out these damn Fujian people!"

Saladin roared angrily like the god Zeus, with fear and greed, the chiefs of the various tribes scattered, and the 140,000 Bedouin nomadic cavalry were also mobilized in a mess.

The Shatt al-Arab, which was abruptly diverted, held back the Bedouin army for two days.

Civilization rose too fast, the Arabian Peninsula where the Bedouins lived was notoriously flowless, and there was no Western Mecca to absorb the culture of the Persian Empire, and Saladin's army could be described as primitive for civil engineering, especially bridge building.

Relying on the almost infinite manpower of the 140,000-strong army, the Bedouins forced themselves to fill the river with soil and piled up an earthen dam, but before the army could pass, that night, Song Jing and Yao Chong used a big wood to put it down, and the already soft earthen dam was hit by the big wood and collapsed, and the accumulated river water once again washed the camp of the Bedouin cavalry.

The next day, the mad Saladin hacked to death several Persian and Roman slaves who had plundered and served, and then, at the suggestion of the Takuisi, he mobilized an army of more than 3,000 camels, and several thousand people tied them to the bottom of the boulder upstream with leather ropes, and the ant-like crowd roared and dragged for an hour before the boulder was restored, so that the Shatt al-Arab was blocked again, and it was sprayed out in several tributaries.

It was not until the early morning of the third day that the mighty Bedouin army was able to cross the river.

But once again, a headache for the Arabs ensued.

After not marching for a few miles, a large pile of boxes left by the Min people suddenly appeared on the side of the road, and after opening them, the two Arab tribes who had no concept of military discipline in their minds suddenly had red eyes, and they fought and snatched each other.

It's tobacco!

After the Fujian people found this thing from the Pacific Ocean, it not only swept the Great Fujian, but also made the Arabs in the desert happy.

The Islamic prohibition of alcohol, smoking has become a rare pastime for the Arabs, and the Middle East in later generations is the largest tobacco seller in the world, and even a dinner without tobacco is not a complete dinner in the Arab concept, which shows the Arab obsession with this pleasant plant.

There was a golden period, when Hou Jie presided over the political situation, he used large-scale Arab specialty coffee, **, myrrh to smuggle Fujian goods, tobacco is one of them, located in the Gulf of Oman, many tribesmen in the Indian Ocean have become old smokers.

However, Hou Jie's Abbasid dynasty collapsed, the smugglers of the Min people were hunted down and expelled by Hussein, and no one went to sell tobacco across the Persian Gulf.

By the time Saladin arrived, seven or eight soldiers of the two tribes had been killed, and what was even more troublesome was that the two tribes were still divided into Yemen and Oman, one of which was a tribe of Berkel, and in the face of the accusations and abuse of the tribal chiefs, Saladin, who was furious, once again slapped Bakr several times in a row.

In the end, the seven layers of tobacco were confiscated by Saladin's headquarters, and the rest was distributed to the Omani tribes who needed to be wooed, which caused the subjugated Yemeni tribes to be indignant one by one.

Time was delayed for another day.

The next morning, fearing that there would be another tribal fight, and that the Min would be able to leave any more possessions, Saladin simply ordered his relative caliph to explore the way in front of the forbidden army.

But this day is no longer a coveted wealth, but a deadly trap and poison.

Just under the sun, dozens of well-equipped Arab caliphate troops in the vanguard straddled their tall horses and walked proudly on the Shatt al-Arab plain full of soft and coaxing hay, marching on the one hand, and on the other hand, they were still full of greed to inspect the left and right for the wealth abandoned by the Min people again.

No one noticed that in the grass, a pair of eyes were staring at their backs.

As he was walking, Leng Buding's sunlight refracted down, and a cold light reflected in the eyes of the leading Bedouin general, Leng Buding made his heart chill, and shouted to order his subordinates to stop.

It's a pity that it's too late, in the grass, I don't know how many thistles were thrown, and the panicked war horse stepped on it, and suddenly fell a large piece of mourning, and the next second, the Fujian army covered in grass stood up suddenly, and the blackened steel crossbow shot out fiercely and cruelly, and suddenly there was a wail.

Not only this one, but everywhere the Bedouin army, which marched like a long snake, there were screams and angry curses of attack, and even the crisp sound of gunfire like fried beans was faintly heard......
