Li Shimin

Chapter 874 Take Saar City

While a group of soldiers were curiously commenting on those big food barbarians, Li Shimin, Li Xiaogong, Li Chenglu and others also stared curiously at the two people in front of them, Lord Zeroth Thrall and Klaus Wooda.

As for the young general Borg Bull of Saar City, and several other nobles of Saar City, they were accidentally hit by the bomb, and they were blown to pieces, and they couldn't even put together a completed body.

Among the nobles in the city of Saar in Nuo Da, only the Lord Zeroth Saar and Klaus Wooda were left.

And City Lord Zeroth Thrall was pale.

He confidently led more than 3 Sal city warriors out of the city, just to let these arrogant Datang people see the bravery of their Arabs.

The great Allah is not something they can insult!
But it never occurred to them that they had just lined up with the warriors in the city of Saar, and they hadn't talked to these shameful people from the Tang Dynasty. These people from the Tang Dynasty would attack them from such a long distance.

Moreover, the iron balls emitting green smoke are so powerful!
Of the 2 warriors in his Saar city, more than [-] were killed in an instant.

Most of the rest are lowly slave soldiers!

His honorable Lord Zeroth Thrall regrets that he shouldn't come out of the city to teach these arrogant and arrogant Datang people.

He had only to wait a few months before the great Prophet Caliph 'Umar would send the strongest warriors among the Arabs to their aid.

And now, everything is ruined!

At this time, Zeroth Thrall suddenly saw that among the group of Tang nobles in front of him, a gorgeously dressed noble said a few words to an older Tang man beside him.

The old man walked towards him very obediently.

"His Majesty Tang asked, who are you?"

Hearing this, Zeroth Thrall's eyes widened and he became excited.What the old man said in front of him turned out to be their Arabic language. Although it was not fluent, he could understand it completely and said hastily.

"I am the honorable Lord of Saar, Zelos Saar, the nobleman of the great Arab Empire, and the messenger of the great Allah in this area! Although you Datang people defeated me, you should follow the instructions of Allah and give me noble treatment !"

On the side, Klaus Wooda also quickly said to the translator: "The distinguished nobleman of the Tang Dynasty, I am Klaus Wooda, a nobleman in the city of Saar, a nobleman of the great Arab Empire, and a great Believers of Allah, I beg you Tang Dynasty people to give us noble treatment!"

After finishing speaking, the two of them looked at Li Shimin in unison.

Although they don't understand Datang dialect, it can be seen from the costumes that among the group of Datang people in front of them, the Datang person is the one with the most gorgeous clothes and the highest status, and the surrounding Datang people also respect the middle one very much. Datang people.

Therefore, that Tang man is definitely the most honorable person among all the Tang people!
At the same time, the translator of Honglu Temple quickly translated to Li Shimin the words of Zeros Thrall and Klaus Wooda.

"The city ahead is called Sal City?"

"The city lord Thrall is still alive!"

Li Shimin, Li Xiaogong and the others couldn't help but look at Zeroth Thrall curiously.

"Ask him carefully, how many people are there in Thrall City, and what is the strength of the troops?"

As for the noble treatment that Zeroth Thrall asked for, Li Shimin automatically ignored it.

The general of the defeated army is still a barbarian hozen, what kind of noble treatment does he want?The lord of a small barbarian city is not even as good as the soldiers in his army!

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

The translator bowed respectfully to Li Shimin, then quickly turned to ask Zeroth Thrall.

However, Zeroth Thrall, who has been the lord of the city for many years, is also an old man. Just based on the expression on Li Shimin's face, he can deduce what Li Shimin meant. He didn't answer the translator's question, but continued to bargain.

"Honorable Tang people, although Zeroth Thrall was defeated by Great Tang, he is still the lord of Thrall City and cannot sell Thrall City. Moreover, Zeroth Thrall is a great Arab nobleman who needs to be treated as a nobleman... ..."

The translator glanced at Zeroth Thrall strangely, and then reported to Li Shimin.

"Hmph, you mere barbarians, how dare you make demands on me!" Li Shimin was furious.

Li Xiaogong let out a hideous laugh, and casually pulled out the steel sword from his waist, and slashed at Zeroth Thrall.

"what……"

Zeros Thrall could only let out a scream, then fell to the ground and died, his eyes were still wide open, and his face was full of disbelief that the people of Datang dared to kill him.

Soon, two personal guards came over and carried Xeros Thrall to the pile of dead people beside him.

Klaus Wooda, who was on the side, was already frightened stupid. Looking at the sword that was shining with cold light and dripping with small drops of blood, his eyes were full of horror, and his whole body trembled.

"This nobleman, please also tell all the noblemen of the Tang Dynasty, I, Klaus Wooda, would like to say it!"

The translator quickly translated to Li Shimin.

"Ask me clearly, how many people are there in the city of Saar, and how many troops are available to fight? Where is the nearest city to the city of Saar, how many people are there, and how many troops are there to fight?" Li Shimin said.

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

After the translator saluted, he quickly asked Claus Wooda again.

This time, with the lessons learned from Zeros Thrall, Klaus Wooda dared not hide anything.

The older a person is, the more afraid of death.

In particular, Klaus Wooda, who still has a lot of property and power in his family, as long as he can survive, he can't wait to introduce Medina, the city where the caliph is located, to these Datang people clearly to show his role.

As for whether these will offend Allah?
He Claus Wooda is only a sincere believer of Allah, not a messenger of Allah, let alone a messenger of the apocalypse!
He only needs to protect his property, which is the greatest respect for Allah!
"Your Majesty, there are only 2000 people in the city of Saar, and they are all old, weak, sick and disabled. As for the guards, there are only [-] people! The old minister requests to be the vanguard and attack the city first to prove the sincerity of the barbarians!"

Li Xiaogong asked Li Shimin for instructions with a solemn face.

After seeing the captured weapons and armor of the Dashi barbarians, Li Xiaogong also suddenly realized that all the Tang people seemed to have underestimated the soldiers of the Dashi kingdom.

It should be said that after possessing bombs and firearms, all the generals in the Tang Dynasty began to float up, and they no longer looked down on the army of any country.

However, Dashi is also a big country with a large population.

After listening to Klaus Wooda's narration, Li Xiaogong, Niu Jinda and other Tang veterans couldn't help but start to pay attention again.

As the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, Li Shimin can ignore these.However, veteran generals such as Li Xiaogong and Niu Jinda, as Li Shimin's lieutenant generals, had to think of every detail for Li Shimin's safety.

This time, Li Shimin's personal expedition, no matter what, only led an army of one hundred thousand.

And the first big food city I encountered had a population of 10.

Even the three nearby cities have a minimum population of 4.

If united, it is also a force that cannot be underestimated.

"Don't be careful!"

Li Shimin still didn't care.

"It's getting late, my sons and daughters of the Tang Dynasty have been wandering on the sea for so long, and today I will spend the night in the city of Saar!"

"The order was given to all the troops to escort the barbarian captives to the city of Saar. Now, we have an army of [-] in the Tang Dynasty, and there are hundreds of thousands of artillery bombs and arrow bombs in the army. Even if the barbarians come with millions of troops , I, Da Tang Erlang, can also defeat it.

It was even said that in the city of Saar, there were only two thousand defenders.

After a while, when we get to the city, let this old barbarian go to persuade him to surrender, and try not to spend a single bomb to take the city of Saar! "

Li Xiaogong and Niu Jinda and other veterans were also arrogant masters on the battlefield when they were young. Now hearing Li Shimin say this, they are also shocked.

"Follow Your Majesty's orders!"

Immediately, five thousand soldiers were left on the shore again to guard the boat.

The remaining 7 troops escorted the [-] Dashi barbarians to the city of Saar not far away.

The city of Saar was originally built on the sea because of its high terrain and its proximity to the sea, allowing it to conduct sea trade with the surrounding land.

At the same time, in order to prevent being attacked by foreign countries or pirates, the city wall of Saar was built very tall and strong.

Originally, a city of Saar, which could withstand tens of thousands of troops with only [-] soldiers stationed there, encountered an unreliable city lord.The unreliable city lord not only took away the defenders in the city, but also took away the nobles, private soldiers, and young slaves.

Moreover, those defenders, private soldiers, and young and strong slaves were all buried by the sea, and he himself was buried by the sea.

So, originally a good war fortress, now there are only more than 6 old, weak, sick and disabled, and only [-] defenders.

It's just that the two thousand defenders spread out, and the entire city wall was not tightly guarded.

Therefore, when they saw the [-] Tang troops approaching slowly from a distance, the legs of the two thousand defenders were already frightened, their faces were pale, and they couldn't even hold the spears in their hands steadily. Faith, they are still standing strong!

Fortunately, they had already discussed whether to fight to the death or flee.

A familiar figure emerged from the huge Tang army ahead.

Noble Claus Woodard!
The defenders seem to have found their backbone...

Li Shimin, Li Xiaogong and others still underestimated the status of the nobles in the hearts of the cannibals.

Klaus Wooda just said a few words, and the big food soldiers on the city wall put down their weapons one by one and opened the city gate.

In this way, the Tang army of more than 7 easily entered the city of Saar without wasting a single bomb.

Moreover, the common people in the city of Saar didn't seem to have any sense of hatred for their soldiers of the Tang Dynasty, except for those noble families.

However, after entering the city, the first thing Li Xiaogong, Niu Jinda and the others did was to lead troops and ransack the homes of all the nobles in the city one by one.

In other words, in Saar City, no one hated the Tang army anymore.

at night.

Li Shimin, Li Xiaogong and others all stayed overnight in the City Lord's Mansion.

The City Lord's Mansion is the largest and most extravagant architectural castle in Saar City, which can fully accommodate thirty thousand troops.The remaining [-] troops lived in the homes of those nobles.

After wandering at sea for so long, I once again slept on land.

Including Li Shimin, all the Tang soldiers slept very comfortably that night.

Early the next morning.

Then [-] troops took the unpalatable food in the city of Saar, went out to the sea, and exchanged with the soldiers guarding the ships in the sea.

at the same time.

Li Xiaogong, Niu Jinda and other veterans stood in the city lord's mansion, persuading Li Shimin earnestly.

"Your Majesty, we need to send [-] soldiers just to guard the big ship. As the closest city to the fleet, Saar City is still so strong that it is the retreat route of our Tang army.

Therefore, [-] troops must be left to guard.

In this way, only [-] of my Tang Dynasty's [-] troops remain.

And the land of Dashi is so vast, it is certainly difficult to conquer it all with only [-] troops.It is even possible to face the situation of being surrounded by the food army.

Your Majesty is the commander-in-chief of my one hundred thousand army, with a body of ten thousand gold, no matter what, the ministers dare not let His Majesty take risks! "

"That's right, only when His Majesty guards the city of Saar, can the ministers dare to lead the army to attack with all their strength!"

"The old minister asks His Majesty to guard the city of Saar..."

"Shut up all you old bastards. You think that I and you are generally foolish. I have a [-]-strong army in the Tang Dynasty, and I also carry [-] cannons, hundreds of thousands of catties of bombs and arrow bombs. In this barbaric land, who else can be my opponent in the Tang Dynasty?"

Listening to this, Li Shimin's face darkened. When he was young, he was also a veteran in the battlefield. He had fought hundreds of battles, big and small, and he knew the minds of these veterans best.

Li Xiaogong bowed his hands solemnly, and persuaded again: "Your Majesty, although our army is carrying artillery and arrow bombs, throwing bombs by hand! However, firing artillery requires at least a hundred breaths. And firing arrow bombs, Throwing bombs by hand also requires ten breaths!

I heard that there are a lot of cavalry in the Dashi Kingdom. If our army is surrounded, under the charge of the opponent's cavalry, I, Tang Erlang, have no time to fire artillery and arrow bombs!
As long as those big food thieves are determined, they can completely trap me, Da Tang Erlang, with their lives! "

"Your Majesty, at this moment, you are in a foreign country, a land of barbarians, and it is a battle of conquest. Some words, even if your majesty doesn't like to hear them, the old minister must say them out. Now, your majesty is already forty-nine! The old minister is even fifty-something." Eighth, even if it is Langya County Duke, there are three out of fifty... Although my Tang Dynasty has an army of one hundred thousand, the generals are already old.

Although he can still wield a long spear and steel knife, he can mount a horse and charge into battle.

But, Your Majesty, we are old and our strength is failing.

Compared with those young generals and lieutenants in the army, we have to obey the old.

Otherwise, on the battlefield, our physical strength will be the breakthrough point of the entire army! "

Hearing this, Li Shimin pondered for a moment, then turned to look at Li Xiaogong, Niu Jinda and other veterans.

"In this way, I am the youngest, so I should bring a large army to conquer those barbarians!"
