Cultivation of chastity

Chapter 471
This time period was still in the era of the second-generation caliph Umar, and at this time, pure Arabs had just emerged on the almost impoverished and unimaginable peninsula of the Arabian Peninsula.

Although the Arabs have won consecutive battles, because of their absolute belief in the Koran and Muhammad, they are not like those ordinary alien races who rise up. After defeating their advanced civilizations, they will be absorbed by their advanced civilizations.

On the contrary, although the Arabs could only be regarded as nouveau riche in the seventh century, they relied on their worship of the Koran to resist the assimilation of the surrounding advanced cultures. On the contrary, they are still eroding the surrounding theoretically more advanced cultures .

They have nothing at the moment, and it is precisely because of their absolute belief in the "Quran" that the Arabs have a unified belief in Allah.

It has the ability to draw power from belief, and as long as it does not kill them with any harm, it will purify their belief, make the power they draw from belief purer, and make them stronger.

The general pattern is that every time you escape from death on the battlefield, or every time you win on the battlefield, you will remember the blessings of Allah in your heart, so as long as you live, the stronger your belief in Allah will be, and the firmer your belief, then they will be stronger.

At the same time, all will-type talents have a hidden blessing for morale stability.

It's not that they can be so fanatical that no matter what kind of desperate situation they have, they won't have any impact on their morale.

It is because of the organizational model formed under the religious beliefs of this era, which inherently has a certain willpower blessing effect.

Especially now, when Islam is just emerging, the Arabs are reaping the dividends of Mohammed's thought, and their will in this regard is even firmer.

This allows them to arm their own willpower, at least in melee, stalemate and other situations, they can be much stronger than the willpower of the surrounding countries' armies.

This made the Arabs look like cavalry who were good at fighting guerrillas on the surface, but in fact they really fought, and they were like berserkers who fought back stronger with more blood.

Unless it is really in a completely irreparable situation and there is no hope of a comeback, the resilience of the Arab fighters is often somewhat unexpected, and many opponents who have fought against them for the first time have suffered in this regard.

At this moment, Nuerman commanded his army to suppress Nihawand with light arrows, and immediately commanded the rest of the Arab fighters to organize an attack on the city wall.

It's just that the weakness of the Arabs who rarely have siege experience began to be exposed as Numan commanded the siege.

In the process of being pressed and beaten by the Arabs in front, Filuzan has already experienced the fanatical fighting will of the Arabs.

He clearly knew that if he went out to fight in the field, he was afraid that he would suffer a lot, so he put a lot of thought into the city defense.

What can be arranged like iron nets and ravines can be arranged, which is a headache for the Arabs who are lazy in siege.

However, Feluzan was not polite, and immediately organized the archers, and began to shoot at the target with physical arrows in a parabola.

Compared with the straight light arrows of the Arabs, this normal parabolic arrow looks much more normal on this battlefield, and the suppression of the arrow rain is just as effective.

"The trajectory of this light arrow is straight. Although it is extremely fast, it is strictly speaking not suitable as an arrow for siege."

Looking at the lethality of the Arab army, Wang Xiaojie wondered, "Why not use ordinary arrows instead."

"One is that there is no logistical pressure. As for the second point, that is the distance!" Tian Changgeng explained to Wang Xiaojie,
"If you use normal arrows, the effective distance is about 150 meters, but they are at least 180 meters away.

This kind of light arrow has a great advantage in distance, which makes it much safer for archers to suppress the city!

In the end, it was because the Sassanian army had limited means of killing them, so our Datang would use the winch and crossbow to fight back. "

Wang Xiaojie heard Tian Changgeng's words, looked at the scene on the battlefield, and finally nodded in agreement.

However, Filuzan also quickly discovered that even if his own archers stood at a high place, they still couldn't compete with each other in terms of distance.

After all, this cannot be compensated by command and dispatch in the wild, so Filuzan gave up and continued to fight with the Arab light arrows, but aimed the arrows at the Arab fighters who came to clean up the defense system of Nehavand.

As the rain of arrows fell, a layer of light appeared on the surface of the Arab warrior's body, forming a resistance to the Sasanian archers.

But they were still shot by the fine arrow rain, and they suffered a lot of injuries all over their bodies, but the wounds that were originally fatal were flesh wounds. If they had armor, they would be able to ignore the arrow rain even more.

"Huh, this brilliance will change!?" Looking at the scene in front of him, Tian Changgeng couldn't help but be a little bit surprised.

Belus said to Tian Changgeng: "Glorious equipment is a talent that is relatively easy to appear in Dashi.

Forming tangible weapons with the help of invisible brilliance is the blessing of Allah to true believers, and can be turned into various equipment according to needs.

For example, light arrows, such as weapons, can also be attached to objects at the same time, only then will the real strength of the second talent be displayed. "

When Tian Changgeng heard this, he suddenly realized something.

No wonder I feel that the power of this light arrow is so poor. As a war department with two talents, this kind of performance is really sorry for the term two talents.

However, Tian Changgeng soon became slightly suspicious.

Because although this plastic ability is very creative, in reality, this kind of damage is not high.

At least in Tian Changgeng's view, even if his soldiers in the Tang Dynasty only have one talent, as long as they bring suitable generals, the combat effectiveness they display may not be inferior to this entire army with two talents, let alone A school soldier in full armor.

Tian Changgeng knocked off some light arrows with his armor, feeling that the power was too weak.

Naturally, Tian Changgeng didn't know that the fighters of the Arab system had a very direct relationship with who was leading them in the war.

Among them, if the leader is a recognized hero, then the upper limit of combat brought out by this belief-based warfare system is extremely high.

But if it is a relatively unknown commander, then the upper limit of what can be played is relatively low.

It has to be said that Nuerman is regarded as a young faction in the Arab army. It was Umar who asked Nurman to take over as the commander-in-chief out of political considerations.

Therefore, the combat effectiveness displayed by the entire army headquarters can only be said to barely reach the combat effectiveness of the second talent.

But from another perspective, the fighting power of the Arab Legion in this era has not been fully released.

At least their army is not fully armored yet, and they are still in the period of crazy expansion, and they haven't had time to stop, carry out a certain degree of internal recuperation, and prepare armor and weapons.

The siege and double release staged an offensive and defensive battle around Nihavand, which made Tian Changgeng really unbearable.

Whether it was the Arabs' offense or the Sasanian's defense, they could only be considered mediocre, and did not make Tian Changgeng shine.

But that's okay, at least the Arabs can't attack, so I'm just mixing gold coins here.

The offensive and defensive battle on the first day ended soon after the Arabs withdrew their troops, and it was obvious that Feluzan was facing a somewhat cautious defense.

The Arabs, just as Tian Changgeng predicted, had no possibility of conquering this city at all.

At this time, Wang Xiaojie ran over and said to Tian Changgeng in confusion, "General, I found that there are many Sasanian soldiers on the city wall. After the victory, they immediately became a talented soldier. It is really easy for them to become a talented soldier!"

When Tian Changgeng heard Wang Xiaojie's words, he couldn't help turning his head to look at Bellus, and said: "If this matter is related to your country's secrets, then we will not ask about it!"

"It doesn't matter!" Billus shook his head, "The talent of our Sassanid army is collectively known as body-forging firewood.

To put it simply, it is to constantly draw strength through killing and war, and every victory will make you more suitable for the battlefield. "

"Every victory?!" Tian Changgeng said in doubt, "Does the city defense count?"

"Forget it, it's just that the growth of the city defense battle is not fast. Directly absorbing the power of the battlefield and killing will eventually have negative effects. Only victory can wash away this negative effect." Belus said,
"For our Sasanian army, as long as we win, we can grow very fast.

One talent, two talent, and even three talent paths are unimpeded.

This is the greatest treasure left to us Sasanian by our ancestor Ardashir I.

This is also the reason why the father is obsessed with the decisive battle. For us Sassan, we only need to win once, and once we win, we can come back. "

When Tian Changgeng heard this, he felt that these guys were like gambling dogs who were thrown into the miners by King Wei to gamble every three years.

Those gambling dogs pay off their debts honestly, and they can get out after working for almost nine years, but the problem is that they want to turn around, thinking that they can earn back their principal and interest as long as they gamble once, but they often end up going out within a few days. Continue to come back to dig.

Looking at this talent again, although Tian Changgeng didn't know who Ardashir I was, this talent was obviously not for normal soldiers.

Generally speaking, one needs to be an invincible star general in order to bring out the effects of this talent!
Similarly, for the undefeated famous generals, what army can't let them bring out the three talents, why bother to bring this kind of talent.

At least from Tian Changgeng's point of view, this talent is full of various pitfalls, and it is simply not something a normal person like himself can play!
It is true that the Sasanian Empire can turn around as long as it wins a game, but the question is, since it can't win a game now, can't it take a more stable path?
Tian Changgeng really doesn't understand such a desperate gamble as the king of a country.

On the contrary, because he has always been by Li Tai's side, it is still Li Tai's way of doing things in a down-to-earth manner, with more and more leeway, and the way of getting wider and wider, which is more appreciated by Tian Changgeng.

"Father, there are difficulties!" Seeing that Tian Changgeng stopped talking, Belus also sighed helplessly.

Tian Changgeng didn't understand the situation in Sasanian, but Belus understood that Sassanian's national power could actually compete with Arabia.

But the problem is that Yi Siqi lost the elite of the country, the military spirit of the country, and even the capital of the country. He lost almost everything he could lose. Now only the last one is left to listen to his orders. Legion.

Therefore, Yi Siqi had to win, and he had to win a big one. Only in this way could Yi Siqi have the capital to redistribute the Sasanian domestic forces, otherwise, if he continued, he would just be lingering on his last breath, which Tian Changgeng didn't understand.

It's just that sometimes betting on the fate of the country, that is, the more you lose, the more red-eyed you become, and Yi Siqi can't withdraw at all.

If you want to win, you can only gamble, even if you lose, it may be your own life!
This is also the reason why Yi Siqi often defended the city for a few days, and when he found that the soldiers could not grow, he decisively fought a decisive battle with the Arab army, because Yi Siqi felt that he could win, and he had to win.

"Whatever, don't tell me, I'm just dawdling here!" Tian Changgeng waved his hand and said,

"Even if you really want to go out and fight the Arab army, don't count on my infantry. Anyway, I won't help you with anything other than defending the city!"

"Of course I understand!" Belus nodded after hearing Tian Changgeng's words, but did not insist.

For Sassan, who is mainly cavalry, the speed of the school soldiers is indeed not fast, and it is not used to joining such an army suddenly.

And Tian Changgeng couldn't help thinking in his heart, even if Yi Sitong was mentally disabled, other people in this country looked normal.

This Yi Sicheng has lost so many times, it is impossible for them to let Yi Sicheng mess around.

But within a few days, Tian Changgeng felt that he was blind, and felt that the people in this country were really sick!

Nuerman tried to attack a little bit. Today, he found that the city was difficult to attack, so he immediately changed his siege strategy, retreated his main force to a high ground out of the sight of the Sasanians, and then ordered Kaka to command a cavalry , to try to provoke and seduce the other party.

It's just that the method of anger is nothing more than swearing, but because of the language barrier, Tian Changgeng didn't feel it.

After all, which general in the Central Plains would take this set of scolding, and use this to test the main general?If you want to irritate others, at least you should give a set of women's clothing.

As a result, the Arabs just ran around the city of Nihavand at high speed while deliberately mocking and shooting arrows into the city to provoke, and they were able to successfully provoke the anger of the Sasanians.

More importantly, Yi Siqi, who thought his military spirit was useful, ordered Filuzan to go out of the city to fight.

Tian Changgeng was stunned when he heard Yi Siqi's order, and even more so was Filuzan, who was the commander in chief, agreed.

For a moment, Tian Changgeng really didn't understand, why do you think you can win the opponent in the field!
As a result, except for the academy soldiers led by Tian Changgeng and the [-] troops led by A Luoheng, they were left in the city.

The last army of the Sasanian Dynasty left the safe fortress to pursue the Arabs for a decisive battle.

If there is an analogy, it would be as absurd as Li Longji ordered Tang Jun to open the gate of Tongguan a hundred years later and fight the rebels to the death!
"You Sassan is hopeless!" Tian Changgeng patted Belus on the shoulder helplessly, and said:
"I'd better gather the caravan first, and if something happens, at least keep my own people. If you want to go with me, I'll take you with me!"

Hearing Tian Changgeng's words, Belus was also embarrassed for a while, but looking at the Sassanian army that had been drifting away, he thought to himself, "Sassan...is there really no way?"
