Early Tang Dynasty: forge ahead

Chapter 560 Xue Rengui is not a human

"boom!"

Muawiyah punched the table in front of him hard, looked at his dejected generals with murderous eyes, and shouted angrily: "The opponents are only a few thousand people..."

“Thousands of people!”

He repeated it to emphasize, and at the same time, he hit the table hard with his fist, making a "dong dong" sound.

"We have more than 100,000 people, and we let a few thousand people run around in our house. It's shameful!"

"Shame on you!"

"How can I explain this to God? How can I face God..."

The Caliphate was a country that integrated politics and religion. The real meaning of the caliph was the caliph of the messenger of God. The messenger of God was the Prophet Muhammad. After his death, his successor did not dare to claim to be the messenger of God, so there was the caliph, the agent of the messenger of God. But the obligations and rights of both parties were the same. They were both representatives of the highest and only reality in the universe, Allah, and the only existence that could listen to oracles and communicate with the true God.

As the caliph, Muawiyah even brought up Allah in this situation, which shows that he was extremely angry and helpless.

Muawiyah looked around, and wherever he saw, everyone had their heads lowered, like ostriches.

Muawiyah's anger rose again, but considering the current situation, he had to suppress it.

After the defeat in the Western Regions, the situation deteriorated step by step just as he had imagined: taking advantage of their defeat, the natives in southern Egypt were bewitched and launched a rebellion.

The Byzantines also took advantage of the situation and moved south, intending to revive the glory of the Roman Empire.

What really made Muawiyah feel the pressure was Hussein who returned to Medina. Now those people of the Shiite sect were promoting Hussein's achievements throughout the Caliphate, saying that it was because of Hussein's timely return that the two holy cities of Mecca and Medina were protected. Hussein, Ali's most outstanding son, was a hero of the Caliphate and a hero who guarded the holy places.

As a country dominated by religious beliefs, the prestige that Hussein now possesses has threatened his position.

Internal and external troubles are nothing more than this.

Muawiyah was well prepared for this and had ways to deal with it.

Strength is the only means to stabilize all instability and turmoil. As long as he can recover what he has lost through a series of victories, everything will return to the right track.

The first to be hit was Xue Rengui.

He couldn't defeat the 100,000 soldiers of the Tang Dynasty head-on, and he couldn't deal with the thousands of Tang soldiers in his own army? He couldn't deal with his former defeated general Byzantium and his defeated general's son Hussein?
Muawiyah angrily wanted to capture Xue Rengui, but Xue Rengui was like a poisonous snake in the sea of ​​sand, appearing and disappearing mysteriously. He was clearly in that area and in that place, but they just couldn't catch him.

It would be fine if he couldn't catch it, but the key point is that the poisonous snake is extremely ferocious. If it bites him, he will lose half his life.

Muawiyah had never really met Xue Rengui, but all the officers who had met him had either seen God or had seen ghosts and gods, talking nonsense, saying that they were blessed by God and were like the devil. No matter how fierce the warriors were, it would be difficult for them to survive three rounds in his hands, and no matter how brave and fearless the believers were, they could not resist his cavalry...

In short, the words behind his words are "Xue Rengui is not a human being". As the caliph of the Arab Empire and the only person who can listen to God, Muawiyah's question about whether God exists is self-evident. If even God does not exist, let alone the devil.

After synthesizing all the battle reports, Muawiyah judged that Xue Rengui was a general with extraordinary bravery and good command in battle. For this reason, he did not hesitate to mobilize more than 100,000 troops to surround Xue Rengui and constantly tighten the encirclement, in order to keep talents like Xue Rengui on the land of the Arab Empire.

He believed that even the Tang Dynasty would feel the pain for a long time after losing a great general like Xue Rengui.

Even so, Xue Rengui still came and went without a trace. This was clearly their home ground, their homeland, but it became a battlefield for Xue Rengui to fight on.

Xue Rengui was an outsider, but he seemed to be assisted by God. Even when he was surrounded, he could find opportunities to fight some beautiful battles and kill the enemy soldiers and horses. Every time they were about to close the net, Xue Rengui could miraculously jump out of their encirclement at the critical moment.

After several attempts, they failed to capture Xue Rengui. Not only did he escape the encirclement, but they also lost several thousand soldiers and 71 generals. The loss of commanding officers was so terrifyingly high that no one dared to talk about fighting.

"Ha, Caliph..."

A young general stepped out and said, "Well, that Xue Rengui is a bit evil. No matter how strong our warriors are, if he targets us, few of us can survive. No one can withstand three of his attacks, even if we try to dodge him. His bow and arrows are more terrifying than his halberds. My father was shot and killed by him in the crowd. That arrow pierced through his armor directly..."

When the young general said this, there was a hint of fear in his voice, and his strong body was shaking slightly, obviously he was still terrified.

The young general is Maxi Coss, the current general of Basra City. His father Gary Hoffman Coss is the former general of Basra City who died under Xue Rengui's magic arrow.

Xue Rengui's killing ability is well known to everyone, and his fighting style is simple and clear, that is, he will go directly to the main general, kill the commander, and then kill the troops without command. The fighting style is simple, but it is indeed effective, because no one can stop Xue Rengui. Even if you know his fighting style, no one has the ability to hold him back.

Gary Hoffman thought about hiding at the back and letting the soldiers go up to ensure his own safety.

The result was a divine arrow that flew through the air...

Maxi Coss was right beside him at the time and saw his father being shot to death. He had no chance to resist at all. The armor on his father's body was like paper...

Maxi Cos succeeded his father, but due to psychological trauma, he dared not face Xue Rengui.

Muawiyah was about to get angry when he saw Maxi Coss was trying to boost others' morale and destroy his own prestige. However, when he saw his face, which was 50% similar to his favorite general and remembered his tragic death, he felt reluctant and said angrily, "Get out! You have no right to speak here."

He looked around and said angrily, "Xue Rengui is indeed a man who can be compared to Hannibal, but even Hannibal was defeated at Zama. The same is true for Xue Rengui. He is the meat on our table. No matter how fierce he is, where can he run away? Whoever can kill Xue Rengui will be directly rewarded with a city. Those below the city lord will be directly promoted to city lord, and those above the city lord will be granted the title of governor, and the governor will have an additional city."

As soon as he said this.

The atmosphere has changed a little. In the face of huge profits, fear seems insignificant.

With this huge reward, a piece of news reached Muawiyah.

The Tang Dynasty's navy once again captured the port of Siraf.
