In Suzaku Square, tens of thousands of protesters still gathered around and did not leave, shouting slogans under the scorching sun, looking forward to the palace and hoping to get an answer from the King of Min.

However, the sun is getting stronger and stronger, and time passes minute by minute, seeing that the sun is swaying towards the Mediterranean Sea and about to fall, the other side of the Damin Palace has never reacted at all, and a discouraged emotion is in the hearts of the people of all ethnic groups who are staring in the sun.

"Everyone hold on, God is watching us, and those who died are also watching us, as long as everyone perseveres, God will definitely make His Majesty King Min change his mind!"

also felt the retreat of these people behind him, and Father Brown hurriedly waved the black cross flag in his hand, shouting loudly: "There is a story in the history of the Min people called Crying Qin Ting, there is a person in China who cried in front of the palace for three days and three nights, and the emperor agreed to his request, and we will also guard in front of the palace for three days and three nights, and we will definitely be able to impress the King of Min!"

After all, he is educated, he has been an overseer for a long time, and he has dealt with a lot of people from the Damin Chamber of Commerce, and Father Brown knows a lot.

It is no wonder that in European churches can cover the sky with one hand, the era of Roman erudition in this era has passed, many nobles are illiterate, only the church has knowledge, but I don't know that the allusion of crying Qin Court is because the Qin State and the Chu State had common interests in the Spring and Autumn Period to ask the King of Qin to give face like this, seeing what Brown said has noses and eyes, the demonstrators who had just been discouraged were encouraged again, and followed by loud clamour.

At dusk, when the last rays of sunlight lingered on the portico of the palace, the windows on the third floor of the Persian-style palace gatehouse, which had been closed, suddenly opened, and immediately twenty-two royal guards blew the trombone according to the rhythm from low to high.

The square that was noisy just now suddenly became dead silent, and the fiery eyes of fifty or sixty thousand people suddenly converged on the majestic figure in the window on the third floor, wearing a black gold cloud pattern trimmed five-grasping dragon robe, and the King of Min finally came out!

In the expectant gaze of everyone, Li Jie finally lived up to expectations, and after coughing lightly to gather attention, with the emperor's benevolent and majestic expression on his face, he announced loudly to several curly copper amplifiers.

"All the people under the rule of the Great Min will be equally protected by the Great Min, and the Arab Empire will pay the price for his brutal massacre! The widow announced that he would march into the Arab Empire on the same day to defeat Hussein, and that he would never be !! without beheading him ”

Li Jie's sonorous and powerful words were immediately translated into seven or eight languages, including Greek, Semitic, and Egyptian, and in an instant, the whole square was boiling, and everyone shouted that the king of Min was wise, kneeling on the ground like cutting wheat, and kowtowed.

Even Father Brown, who has always been particular about not seeing the pope, kowtowed, and tears of excitement filled his eyes with tears of excitement as he muttered about the Christian king.

On the people's side, Damin suddenly made a lot of money.

…………

Li Jie's words really counted, what he promised that night, the next morning, the 40,000 vanguard army composed of about Qianniuwei embarked on the journey, Sheng Lianshan and Li Yexu got the vanguard position as they wished, and the other 20,000 people were under Li Rang's command, and the army was led by Li Rang's number one general, Guo Beifeng, and Yao Chong, as the marching commander, accompanied the army and embarked on the journey.

Most of the troops were stationed outside the city, Li Jie specially dispatched the three armies of 4,000 cavalry into the city in the middle of the night, early in the morning, riding tall Arab war horses, wearing strong and majestic Tang-style cavalry iron armor, even the war horses were dressed in leather vests, the elite cavalry marched through the center of Damascus with high spirits, which caused the residents of Damascus and those who petitioned loudly.

"God will bless you! Lord, brave knights! ”

Regardless of whether the other party believes in Christianity or not, Father Brown and other Orthodox bishops are blessing with holy water whenever they meet people, although they don't understand what these bearded people are muttering or simply believers of other sects, it is very comfortable to spray some cold water on a harsh day, these priests are also well-intentioned blessings, and the soldiers of the Fujian army are also very face-saving when they pass by.

Even more affordable were the girls from Damascus*, looking at the handsome and dashing sergeants, a group of young and beautiful Greek girls suddenly ran from the corner of the street, and attacked the marching cavalry like butterflies.

This round of attacks on the Fujian army is a "heavy loss", some sergeants were robbed of their first kiss by the girls, some were pressed by two heavy balls of meat on their chests, and their hearts beat wildly, and the young cheeks became Guan Gong's color in an instant, and they also seriously "separated" the hearts of the Min army, and the uncle-level veterans who did not get the girl's embrace were jealous and shouted that they were the elite of a hundred battles, and a group of little girls had no vision, and the young sergeants who had just had the fragrance of the girl's lips on their faces straightened their chests, I can't wait to plunge into the fight against the Arab thieves now.

At the gate of the city, what surprised these soldiers even more was that the royal car of the King of Min actually appeared on the city tower, facing Li Jie's black dragon banner, the soldiers couldn't help but excitedly take off the central iron-clad domed military hat that had just been replaced, similar to the Song Ming Fan Yang Li, and desperately expressed their fanatical worship to the King of Min.

"Da Min, long live! Long live, Your Majesty! ”

In the midst of the cries, the morale was raised to the extreme.

It's a pity that what the soldiers don't know is that Li Jie, who made them extremely fanatical, pay no attention to them at this time.

"Meet Your Majesty."

Sheng Lianshan, Li Yexu, Guo Beifeng, and Yao Chong were heavily armoured and knelt on the ground respectfully, but even the most reckless Sheng Lianshan was not as rude as usual at this time, but a little bitter, and Li Yexu looked at Li Jie with a solemn head.

The seemingly beautiful expedition is not easy.

If it was just to satisfy the wishes of the people, Li Jie might have killed and sent thousands of cavalry along the way to intercept the Arab terrorists who had fled after the wanton killing and destruction of Antioch, and killed hundreds of people who had big grievances to relieve everyone's anger and fooled the past.

In later generations, the U.S. military will not touch this reason, and Li Jie is not stupid.

However, there was a new news on the battlefield yesterday, and the Arab terrorists who led the Zuojinwu Cavalry and the Armenian Cavalry, the Sogdian warriors who killed and slaughtered the civilians of Antioch, had just arrived near the Great Wall, and Xue Rengui ran into Hussein's main force of the Arab army, which was attacking the Great Wall.

After a lapse of three or four months, the main force of the Arab Empire once again launched a new attack on Damin, and as soon as it struck, it evaded the dense outposts of Damin and hit the soft underbelly of Damin.

The Arabs have gone crazy, no longer care about the will of the people, let go of the slaughter, if the 100,000 Arab cavalry locusts like locusts hanging over Antioch and West Mesopotamia, it is estimated that there are few complete towns left in Damin, without people, what is the use of occupying more land?

So Damin must fight!

However, for the strategy of fortifying the walls and clearing the wilderness in the first few months, Li Jie scattered the main forces on all lines of the Great Wall for thousands of miles, and it took time to assemble, and to fight a national war in a scorching summer environment, the materials needed were even more astronomical.

It takes time to prepare for these, so the left and right Qianniuwei who had fought with Hussein, as well as the iron army of the Upper Arab Governor's Mansion under Li Rang, who knew the fighting style of the Arabs, were selected by Li Jie to fight with Xue Li to contain Hussein.

On the one hand, the two divisions have experience in fighting against Hussein's army, and on the other hand, these two divisions are the closest troops to the battlefield in the north, and Li Jie can only choose to transfer them.

"If you can beat it, you can fight, if you can't beat it, you can leave! The widow will seize the time to gather troops and go to support you as soon as possible! Remember, survival is the most important thing! ”

Also with a distressed smile, Li Jie said earnestly.

Looking at Li Jie's heart-to-heart appearance, Sheng Lianshan and Li Yexu once again felt in their hearts, and at the same time, Guo Zhifeng and Yao Chong also felt moved and warm, and the four generals bowed down neatly.

"Your Majesty, rest assured, the ministers will not fail in their mission!"

The teams of the four armies had already assembled at the North City Gate, and after rounding with the cavalry with high morale passing through the city, they quickly embarked on the journey, one man and two horses, carrying ten days of grain, grass and bow and crossbow equipment, and quickly disappeared into the hot horizon of West Asia.

Looking at the direction of their departure, Li Jie couldn't help but sigh with emotion again, this time the unusual behavior of the Arab Empire made him sniff it, and it seemed that he would distinguish the winner from the loser, and finally decide, the time had come for him to dominate this hot land, and the air was already filled with a rich bloody atmosphere.

Under the scorching sun, countless troops trudged to Damascus to assemble, boxes and boxes of swords, guns, swords and halberds were taken out of the warehouses and distributed to the army, the horse farms where the guards were put on a clang, and all the horses were checking for new horseshoes for the coming fierce battle.

The huge Fujian army is like a war machine......
