Chapter 268: Foothold

Fifteen Tang soldiers occupied the big house in an instant, and all the puffers and Hu Shang servants were killed. Oh, the two Tang soldiers carried the ploppy leader and placed it in the corner of the firewood room. Pity this pimply boss, who can be regarded as a good man, but was picked off by the Tang Army soldiers and broke his tendons and tendons, and his life was difficult to protect!

The two soldiers came out of the tunnel to the cottage outside the city and beckoned the other Tang soldiers into the city!

When Agu saw that his two brothers had not returned, he asked Monzō, "What about my two brothers?" ”

Honzo patted him on the shoulder, "The general's big business, you can't take the slightest risk, I know you can't do it, so I did it for you!" ”

Agu's heart sank, grabbed Honzo's collar, and pressed him against the wall, several soldiers were startled, drew their horizontal knives, and were about to step forward! Honzo waved his hand and told them to go down. didn't say a word, looked at this hot-blooded man from the Western Regions, saw some tears in his eyes, and knew that those two pimpies must have a great friendship with him, but what could they do? It's war!

Jackal Agu pulled out a sharp knife from his boot, wiped his cheek hatefully, and plunged it into the wall! Then he pushed open the treasure, wiped his eyes, went out of the firewood room, and went to settle a group of Tang soldiers.

…………

Greenwing rode a war horse to the gates of Talas. Take a closer look at this historic city. I saw two rows of stakes made of sharpened rough wood at the gate of the city, and there was a passage in the middle where two carriages ran side by side.

Behind the rejection is a huge wooden gate, reinforced and edged with tic-tac-toe iron plates, riveted with thick round-headed rivets and re-riveted to the heavy wooden door! The gates were open, and there were wooden wheels under them to open and close them.

There was also a fence gate that could be lowered from the top down, welded with iron rods thick as an arm, and a huge winch could be seen in the inner city of the gate, and a row of large cannibal sergeants stood by it. It is estimated that it was used to lock the city gate after closing the gate and lower the fence gate.

Green Wing took a breath of cold air, and the two city gates required at least ten or more sturdy sergeants to open! And you have to defend the winch, so you can't let people destroy it! Otherwise, once the iron fence is lowered, it will never be able to be put up again!

The city wall is more than ten zhang high, built of earth and stone, and it is estimated that it is reinforced with thick wooden and bamboo strips, which can make the city wall more tough! On the high battlements, the sergeants stood with scimitars at their waists, spears and round shields in their hands, wearing leather armor, and wearing round iron helmets, as if half a melon skin was on their heads, and they were not as beautiful as the bright armor of the Tang Dynasty soldiers.

At this time, Green Wing received a message from the ring reminder that fifteen Tang soldiers had entered the city, and there were still 35 people left to complete the mission. The corners of Green Wing's mouth curled, revealing a hint of a smile, it seems that this slut has really brought people in.

After a while, Honzo also sent a message that things were going well, and that he had occupied the big house and the secret passage, and the subsequent sergeants would be able to come in! Green Wing made up his mind that the task was basically completed. Sure enough, it didn't take long for the number of ring mission reminders to rise sharply, until they were in their sixties, and then stopped.

At this time, the sergeants who sold horses were already at the gate of the city, negotiating with the soldiers of the Great Food Country, but several monks took advantage of the chaotic stall of horses at the gate to sneak in first. After a while, the horse dealer also drove the military horses inside, and several soldiers of the Great Food Country followed, and it seemed that the military horses might have been sold. However, it is inevitable that some exorbitant taxes will be taken away.

Greenwing smiled, pulled the reins, and struck the horse forward. As soon as he arrived at the gate, he was stopped by the soldiers guarding the city and interrogated about the origin. Green Wing didn't speak, and the soldiers around him stepped forward to make a point, saying that the eldest lady was from Broken Leaf Town, going to Shiguo to visit her wealthy cousin, passing by Talas City, buying some gifts, and resting for a day, and leaving in a few days.

The sergeant who interrogated him saw that the green wings were extraordinary, and it was estimated that he was indeed the child of a large family as they said. And when he saw that Green Wing was a woman again, he didn't stop him, so he let him go. It's just kind to take care of it, leave early, I'm afraid this place is unstable.

The green wings entered smoothly and were moving forward. Suddenly, someone was making noise behind him. When I looked back, it was a few of my own brothers, dressed as beggars, who were stopped by the soldiers of the Great Food Country, who were not allowed to enter, and had an argument.

Seeing this, Green Wing glanced at his horse, allowing his own soldiers to deliberately make trouble in order to attract the attention of the soldiers defending the city. The sergeant was a clever man, and when he stepped forward at the intersection, he suddenly stretched out his leg and tripped over a passerby.

The big man was a rough man, and when he got up, he cursed with a clear soul in his mouth. was punched by his own soldiers and knocked to the ground. Therefore, the noisy passers-by stopped, and for a while, the road was blocked. The sergeant at the gate of the city, when he saw that there was chaos here, how could he dare to slack off! Let the chief see it, and he will not be beaten!

Immediately holding his spear, he rushed over, and when the onlookers saw this, they immediately scattered and fled, only knocking down countless roadside vendors and pedestrians. The one with slow legs and feet was beaten by the sergeant of the Great Food Country!

The green wing finger popped out a few stones, and secretly hit the back of the face and head of the big food country sergeant, although there was no harm, but it was a little painful, the big food country soldier was annoyed, and he started to be ruthless, and the pedestrian was bleeding and injured!

Green Wing smiled, and ran away with his own soldiers, leaving only the stout man, who was unlucky, and his head was beaten and bleeding, and he was also arrested, and shouted in a loud voice.

In the chaos at the intersection, the sergeants dressed as beggars immediately took advantage of the chaos to rush into the city, but they were lucky to get through.

Because of the discovery of this collection, it became very easy to mix in this time, and it also occupied a good foothold. Although so many people were a little crowded, the quality of these sergeants was quite good, and they were all very silent to rest or sentry. In this densely populated area, no one noticed that there was an extra army around them!

No one dares to mess with these pranksters, and they are elusive, so no one wants to approach this big house. Going out to deal with each other is all covered by Agu.

After Green Wing arrived, he interrogated the prankster, and it turned out that this guy was also a Turkic soldier, a ten-division commander, and had fought with the Tang Army. Later, the party was broken up, and he wandered around with three of his men, and came here to become a gangster.

oppress the good every day, and eat together. Later, he colluded with nearby bandits, set up a stronghold in the city, and sometimes reported some information about passing merchants, which really benefited him!

These two houses and secret passages were built by him after years of hard work, and he wanted to rely on them to get some smuggling profits. If the officers and soldiers are caught by the bandits, there will be a way out. I don't want to accept a subordinate of Tang Jun's meticulous work, and after several years of hard work, it was ruined. It's really cheap, Green Wing and Honzo.

After hearing this, Green Wing waved his hand, and naturally a sergeant came up and dragged the ploppy leader down, and he also knew that he had no luck, just asking for a good time. This guy has also done a lot of evil things, and now he is full of evil.

Green Wing selected a dozen capable sergeants and asked them to scout the city and find out the defense of the defending army. Another ten forbearant sergeants were arranged to guard the other side of the dark passage, waiting for the approaching Li Siye troops.

Of course, Green Wing himself would not huddle with them, and took a few of his own soldiers to live in a nearby hotel.

Now the two of them have completed the task ahead of schedule, just waiting for Li Siye's army and Zhang Fan to arrive.

…………

Li Siye's troops broke away from the army and marched in the direction of Talas City. The scene gives the vow-bearer ten days, half of which is on the road!

Although Li Siye does not carry most of the baggage, after all, there are 6,000 troops, and the ten-day supply for these people is not a small amount! Two or three hundred miles away, and all of them are mountain roads, and they have to hide from the eyes and ears of the scouts of the Great Food Country, otherwise how to deceive the defenders of Talas City.

After nearly five days of day and night, Li Siye's troops finally arrived at the west of Talas City more than 20 miles ahead of schedule. This direction is exactly where the reinforcements of the Great Food Country must pass!

The scouts in the city also noticed something, but they didn't know where the other party was coming from, and looked at the outfit of the forward sergeant, who was dressed in black and armor, very much like his own troops. Could it be the reinforcements sent by General Ziyad?

It's just that it's almost dusk, and the spies from the Great Food Country don't dare to approach. Although the Tang army was still hundreds of miles away, for the sake of safety, General Said, the defender of the city, ordered the city gates to be closed and the defenders to enter a state of combat readiness.

At nightfall, the army outside the city came to camp under the city unhurriedly. After a short time, several people came to negotiate, claiming that they were reinforcements sent by General Ziyad to help defend the city, and asked the defenders in the city to open the door to greet them. The seal of the Abbasid Empire was also delivered.

When the general defending the city received the report, he was suspicious, as if the reinforcements were coming too quickly? Abu. The Muslim general had allowed himself to hold out for a month, but after only half a month, reinforcements came. It's kind of weird. When did the empire become so efficient?

However, if it was sent by General Ziyad to keep friendly troops outside the city, it was obviously unreasonable.

Said walked up to the tower and looked at the army outside the city by the not-so-bright moonlight. I saw that the size of the army was about 3,000 people, and it seemed that they were very tired, and they should be tired from the hurried march. The armor and clothing style were undoubtedly the armies of the Abbasid Empire. A few messengers called the door, the Abbasid Chinese language is very pure, and the letter is right, everything should be fine.

It's just that why is there a little panic in my heart for no reason, it seems that something big will happen?! I have been fighting for more than ten years, even in the face of the heavy cavalry of the Byzantine Empire, I have never been so panicked!

General Said, who was very unsteady in his heart, hesitated......

…………

After Zhang Fan entered the communication distance between his teammates, he immediately contacted Green Wing and was happy to learn that their task had been completed very well! Even happier was Li Siye, when he heard that he had infiltrated the elite squad of Talas City and obtained a secret passage that could secretly enter the city, Li Siye took the lead in violating the camp rules that night and drank a whole jar of wine! He said it was a celebration in advance.

In the next few days, the 100-person team of Green Wing, the reconnaissance of the city defense, sent back a lot of useful information to Zhang Fan's side, such as the deployment of the two city gates, staffing, the general situation of grain and grass in the city, the mood of the residents, and so on.
