Chai Shao still did not lead the army to leave, but led the army back to the previous camp under the ecstasy of Isam, and after that, he wrote a letter to Guo Xiaoke, the protector of the Anxi Metropolitan Protectorate, and also sent a letter to Li Er's Majesty, requesting an increase in troops to 100,000 to arrive in Persia, that is to say, to request at least 30,000 soldiers and horses to enter Persia again for reinforcements, as well as all kinds of ammunition and supplies, etc., which are very needed.

The power of artillery needs to be enhanced, the flowering shell needs to speed up the research process, the repair of all kinds of weapons and the replenishment of military resources are very important, the guys who did small actions before will die down at this time, and they don't dare to make anything happen at this important moment, so Chai Shao is not worried about the leakage of weapons and other problems, and this time, according to Chai Shao's judgment, the barracks of the Tang army must at least advance to the outside of the city of Qadisiyah, which is the barrier of the capital of the Persians, and the terrain is dangerous, there is no reason not to use it, and cheaper Arabs.

The incompetence of the Persians and the speed of retreat exceeded Chai Shao's imagination, when Chai Shao had just led the army to camp in the city of Cadisia, the first batch of Persian rout troops had already rushed over, and rushed into the city of Cadisia in a hurry, followed by the second group, the third group, these Persian soldiers who had lost the will to fight or not to fight, as far as Kuài left, they would make the Tang army shackled.

The defense of Qadisiyah had been entrusted to Chai Shao by the Persian Emperor, and Chai Shao had the right to mobilize the Qiē of the city of Qadisiyah, including the Persian army, and as an important translator, Issam was also sent to assist Chai Shao in his work, so that those Persian troops would be under Chai Shao's command.

In addition to the 30,000 Persian heavy cavalry and 20,000 Persian infantry who arrived with Chai Shao. Chai Shao had no other reinforcements, the longed-for reinforcements didn't know when they would come, or it was a retreat order instead of 30,000 troops, Chai Shao had no complaints, this was what he had to do, he was the first to turn around and walk back to Persia, it was he who went back with the army, came here, came to this dangerous place, this city that was about to face the attack of 200,000 Arab soldiers.

The city of Cadisiyah cannot be said to be dilapidated. But it can't be compared with some important towns in Datang. Therefore, one of Chai Shao's first tasks was to strengthen the city defense, so that the city would not have no defense force at all, and then push the artillery onto the city wall, and arrange the trebuchet fleet not far behind the city wall to be fired at any time. Batch after batch of crossbowmen were arranged. Datang is at a disadvantage in terms of troops. The only way to fight against three times the size of the Arab soldiers is to rely on long-range strikes to eliminate as much of the Arab soldiers' living force as possible.

As for the 50,000 Persian soldiers, to tell the truth. They are good at bullying the weak after the Arabs are defeated, and if they really face each other, Chai Shao is afraid that he will see the stupid tactics of the cavalry stopping and fighting with the infantry again, so Chai Shao told Sù Issam in these days, let these heavy cavalry take off all the armor on their bodies, just a thin layer of armor is fine, throw away the big axe, just a spear and a sword, don't let the horses stop on the battlefield, keep charging, keep charging until you die in battle!

The way these Persian heavy cavalry fought really made Chai Shao want to vomit blood.

That's the way it is, there are still Persians who are unwilling, but the Persian infantry is very willing to cooperate, because Chai Shao treats them very kindly, mainly because the Persians are too superstitious about heavy cavalry, so they ignore the infantry and even light cavalry, and the status of infantry in the Persian army is extremely low, Chai Shao asked Meng Yu to command the 20,000 Persian infantry troops who are willing to cooperate, so that they can form a military formation and start training tactics according to the tactics of the Tang army, with war knives and long hair and iron shields as the main weapons.

As for the heavy cavalry, they were quite proud, even the Tang army that killed Khalid's terrible opponent they were very unconvinced, they were quite angry at the emperor's practice of trusting and reusing foreigners and not trusting them, and they were very uncooperative with the cavalry tactics teaching of Du He and Cheng Chumo and others, and finally let Du Maniac attack, Du Maniac went crazy, seventy or eighty Persian heavy cavalry officers were knocked to the ground and couldn't get up, the most tragic thing was that a general was beaten to death by Du He, blood flowed all over the ground, no one dared to care.

Since then, as long as they see Duhe, the Persian heavy cavalry will tremble and resigned, especially the seventy or eighty officers, for Duho to look forward to the horse, for fear of being killed, under the coercion and temptation of Duhe, the Persian heavy cavalry finally gave up the heavy armor and changed to light armor, the saddle is not a rare thing in the Persian Empire and even the Arab Empire and the Roman Empire, there is no need to hide, only the horseshoe, the number of Tang Dynasty horses has been high The magic weapon of victory is closely preserved, There are no Persian soldiers who are bored enough to lift the hooves of the Tang Dynasty war horses to see what is going on.

Then, Duhe took the 30,000 Persian cavalry to start training with the tactics of the Tang cavalry, when the Arabs did not arrive, when the 60,000 or 70,000 Tang troops and 100,000 requisitioned Cadisian residents built the city, the 50,000 Persian army was quietly changing, Issam saw it in his eyes, happy in his heart, he always wanted to know how the Tang army was so strong in combat, those high-level weapons he couldn't touch, and he didn't know how to control it, but the army's tactics can be seen.

The seventh and eighth waves of Persian routs fled in a hurry to the outside of Qadisiyah, and at the same time, the Arab army appeared, Chai Shao immediately climbed the tower to check these Arab soldiers, and sure enough, the proportion of armor far exceeded the hundreds of thousands of Arab soldiers last time, Isam expressed a professional opinion on this, saying that this should be the Arab elite who fought with the Romans and defeated them to seize Syria, the Arabs were poor, there was no money and iron mines, and craftsmen produced military supplies on their own, so they were captured.

These armors are obviously the armor of the Roman army, and they used the equipment of the Roman army to engage the Tang army, which made Chai Shao very interested, and he had long heard how powerful this "Great Qin" was, how vast the territory was, and the Eastern Roman Empire, also known as the Byzantine Empire, which was still powerful even if it was divided.

Their armor, their weapons. There is also their equipment to give the soldiers the ability to act after putting them on, Chai Shao observed very carefully, this is just a very bold and arrogant Arab team, actually pursued to the outside of the city of Qadisiyah, and there are many Persian soldiers fleeing behind, so Chai Shao decisively ordered to teach these arrogant Arab soldiers a lesson, the bow team aimed, point shot!

In a rain of arrows, more than 100 Arab soldiers were killed outside the city of Qadisiyah, and the remaining Persian soldiers fled into the city of Qadisiyah. Chai Shao nodded again and again. Then he told Issam: "If your soldiers do not enter the city by the time of the battle, I will order the gates to be closed, whether they live or die, you can remember it for me." Don't blame me. I'm thinking about the big picture! ”

Issam nodded: "These defeated soldiers are inherently guilty. If you are dead, you will die, how can you give up a city for them? ”

Chai Shao was not restrained and continued to order the reinforcement of the city. Set up a variety of defensive weapons to prevent the Arab army from attacking the city, in his opinion, the Arab army may only have some relatively low-end siege weapons, because the last battle did not find siege weapons, only some ladders, in addition to trebuchets and other weapons he has not seen, so Chai Shao judged that the Arab siege weapons are very rudimentary, even if they get siege weapons from the Romans, weapons similar to trebuchets will definitely not be the opponent of the fortified city wall.

In addition to Datang's artillery, there is no siege weapon in this world that can run rampant in front of all cities, only Datang's artillery has such power.

On the seventh day after that, the war broke out, and the battle, known as the Second Battle of Cadisia, was fought with great brutality.

Chai Shao knew that there would be a lot of people in the Arab army, and there would be more sophisticated equipment than last time, but when he really saw the army formation of 200,000 troops, he was also a little shocked, as for Issam, he had already been frightened out of the city, the deterrent power of these 200,000 troops was not ordinary, for Issam, tens of thousands of troops were terrible enough, let alone so many elite troops.

Meng Yu, a high-achieving student of the military academy, estimated that the armor rate of this Arab army reached 30 percent, far exceeding the armor rate of the Arab army before, and the rate of regular iron weapons and equipment exceeded 80 percent, which was also far beyond the previous Arab army, with about 20,000 cavalry, more than 20,000 long-range strike troops such as crossbow teams, and even Chai Shao saw more than a dozen huge heavy weapons similar to trebuchets.

Judging comprehensively, it is not difficult to conclude that the combat effectiveness and elite Cheng dù of this Arab army far exceeded that of the previous one, how to say, is it worthy of the elite army that defeated the Roman army? The Arab army equipped with Roman equipment was superior in the elite Cheng Dù, which made Chai Shao frown slightly, this siege battle was not easy to fight, Chai Shao dared to fight with them face to face before, this time if it was face to face, unless Chai Shao himself went crazy.

Unless the battle situation is extremely urgent, such as the damage to the city wall requires the Mo knife team to step forward to move the city wall, generally speaking, Chai Shao does not plan to use the Mo knife team, the city wall has been greatly strengthened and heightened, twenty artillery pieces and more than fifty eight-bull crossbows have been placed, and the trebuchet team in the rear has also adjusted the accuracy and strength according to the distance given by the lookouts, and is ready to use the super firearms such as incendiary canisters to fight the Arabs.

The Persians are very rich, rich in oil, so the tens of thousands of burning tanks that the Tang army now has are provided by the Persians, and the Persians also think that the Tang people like to eat oil very much, and drink oil as water, so they do not hesitate to give the Tang army enough oil and meat, and the Tang army has a large number of firearms with large consumption of burning tanks in case of emergency, and the result is now used.

Chai Shao looked at the strict appearance of the Arab army, still standing on the city wall, the general's demeanor at a glance, as for the Arab army, there was also a man riding a war horse wearing gorgeous armor, Chai Shao didn't know who it was, and he was afraid that this guy couldn't understand what he said, so he asked Issam to pull it back and let him translate, sure enough, Chai Shao still couldn't understand a word of this guy's words, Issam understood it, so he translated it for Chai Shao.

Chai Shao was furious when he heard this, it turned out that this person was the main general of the Arab army this time, he asked the troops of the Eastern Empire to surrender immediately, and he could spare their lives, otherwise if they continued to commit adultery with the evil infidel wolf bèi, the prophet and Allah would definitely let them die a good death, and they would also suffer the pain of reincarnation and never be able to turn over.

Chai Shao is really angry, I don't care what kind of believers you are, I don't care what you believe, who would dare to speak to Lao Tzu like that? How the fuck do you dare to talk to Lao Tzu like that? Lao Tzu's death is not good, and it is not your turn to care!

Chai Shao was furious and bent his bow and shot an arrow at the general in the gorgeous armor, the general took three steps back, and the arrow was firmly inserted in the place where he was just now, he looked up at the city tower and saw that Chai Shao was still standing proudly, and the two looked at each other for a long time, each until the war was inevitable!
