    ¡°Taros is actually a city, which should be on the border of what is now Kyrgyzstan and Kazakhstan. The specific location has not yet been determined.

    The city of Talas was built on the north bank of the Or River. If Talas fell, the Tang army could cross the Or River and attack Samarkand and Bukhara, two important towns in Central Asia.  If these two important towns were lost, the Tang army could cross the Amu Darya River and attack Khorasan itself.

    The Khorasan region is the mainland of the Persian Empire, mainly the territory of present-day Iran.  As early as Wu Zetian's period, a small Tang army had fought near Tehran.  As for the size of this army, who commanded it, and why it was destroyed, there are too few historical materials to verify it, and it has become a historical mystery.

    Talas is the barrier of the Or River, and the Or River is the barrier of Samarkand and Bukhara. It has extremely important strategic value. It is precisely because Talas has a very important strategic position that Gao Xianzhi in history marched here.  , the then governor of Khorasan, Abu, mobilized almost all his troops in Khorasan to fight.

    The Battle of Talas in history lasted for five days. The cannibals launched a total of seven large-scale attacks, but the Tang army was repelled all of them.  However, the troops in Gao Xianzhi's hands were limited and he was unable to achieve final victory, so he was taken advantage of by the Great Eclipse. If Gao Xianzhi had more troops in his hands and only needed 10,000 or 20,000 Han troops, the outcome of the battle might have been very different.

    Now, history has returned, and the armies of Tang and Dashi still meet in Talas. The commander of Tang's army is Ge Shuhan, not Gao Xianzhi; the commander of Dashi is not Abu, but Gu Taibai.  The Tang army had 40,000 Han troops and 50,000 Huer troops. The total strength was close to 150,000, which was no longer the 70,000 recorded in the history books of Dashi. Dashi invested almost 170,000 to 80,000 troops, which was roughly the same. This battle  Will the ending be different?

    Under the Talos City, the Tang military camps were surrounded by fortifications with strict fortifications and strict laws.

    Gu Taibai stood on the city wall and looked at the Tang army's camp. After looking at it for a while, he asked the generals around him: "Tell me, how is the Tang army's camp?"

    "My lord, the Tang people's camp is not bad. It is the best camp among all the Orientals we have seen."

    "No matter how good the camp is, it is useless. Real victory requires fighting and bloodshed."

    The generals started talking in all directions, but Gu Taibai just listened quietly and did not speak.  It wasn't until the generals argued for a while that they finally said: "In my opinion, the Tang Dynasty's camps are very strong. It is not impossible to break through their camps, but it will cost a lot. To be able to list such a rigorous and strong camp, this  It shows that the Tang army is not so easy to mess with. In the past few years, since we set foot on the land of the East, we have heard from time to time Easterners praising how heroic and skillful the Tang army was. I have been thinking about when we can fight the Tang army. In the words of the Tang people  He said, we just want to learn from him. Today, this opportunity has finally come, and we are going to learn from him. Send ten thousand people out of the city to explore the bottom."

    He is worthy of being a famous general who has experienced hundreds of battles, and his views are superior to those of others.  As soon as the order was passed, 10,000 Dashi infantry lined up in an orderly queue and drove out of the city.

    ?? Gu Taibai was originally from Syria, and his grandfather was the brother of Hafsah, the wife of the Prophet Muhammad.  He made great contributions in suppressing the rebellion in Iraq, and was appreciated by Hajja and recommended him as the governor of Khorasan.  At that time, when he took office, the land of Khorasan was not large. He only had 50,000 Arab troops in his hands. It was with these 50,000 Arab troops that ancient Taibai began military operations to conquer Central Asia, and successively conquered Talli.  Its jurisdiction expanded several times in the vast Central Asian regions such as Gan, Shuman, Takhastan, and Bukhara.

    The troops in his hands are all elite divisions that have fought with him in Central Asia. Although there are only 10,000 infantrymen out of the city to challenge, their momentum is extraordinary. The soldiers' eyes shine like wild beasts, and they have an indomitable momentum.

    The soldiers held shields in their hands and Damascus scimitars at their waists. They strode forward in neat formations and in unison. The rumbling sound spread far away.

    In the Tang Army camp, in Ge Shuhan's tent, all the generals were surrounding him. No one spoke, looking at Ge Shuhan.  Ge Shuhan said: "Since we marched, we have gone deep into the territory of Dashi, but we have not encountered Dashi's army. It's not that Dashi is afraid of us, it's that we caught them by surprise and made them unexpected. However, Hacha, the old fox, had calculated  We will march on New Year's Day, and it's a good idea that he has figured it out, saving us the trouble of looking for Dashi's army everywhere.

    "No, Gu Taibai personally led the army to Talas and wanted to fight me. For so many years, Datang and Dashi have been competing for the Western Region, but there has never been a large-scale head-on confrontation. Now, the opportunity has come, and we must not miss it.

    "In the battle for the Western Region, Datang has the advantage. However, everyone should not take this battle lightly and must go all out."They are in the dozens, their combat experience is not bad, and their morale is high.

    In addition to this, the Dashi army has something that the Tang army does not have: religious fanaticism!

    The Arab country was founded by the Prophet Muhammad and is a **** country.  The army of Dashi has devout faith and is the loyal guard of the prophet. People can die, but they cannot lose this faith.

    Although their protective capabilities were not as good as those of the Tang army, they did not retreat and became more courageous as they fought.

    The two armies were at odds with each other, and it was difficult to tell the winner for a while.  Half an hour has passed, and there is still no winner; one hour has passed, and there is still no winner; two hours have passed, and the fight is still going on!

    The bodies on the ground are piled up layer after layer, and blood is flowing!

    Tian Renwan took a breath and said: "Dashi's army is really difficult! If they were Turks or Tubo, they would have been defeated long ago! However, until now, they don't show any fear at all!"

    Ge Shuhan nodded and said: "Their bravery is admirable. They are the most capable elite division I have seen in so many years. However, have you seen that their casualties are much greater than ours. I  It is estimated that our current casualties are no more than a thousand or two thousand, and their casualties are nearly half."

    In terms of fighting skills, the two armies are almost the same, and their morale is also the same. What determines the outcome is the equipment.  The protective capabilities of the Tang army were much better than those of the Dashi army. Cutting down with scimitars was often blocked by iron armor.  As for the Tang army's horizontal sword slashing, the leather armor of the Dashi army could not block it. It was real, and their casualties were naturally high.

    Initially, the casualties of big food were not great.  However, as time went by, the greater their casualties and the greater the damage to their strength, and the Tang Army's advantage became more and more obvious.

    How could Gao Xianzhi miss such a good opportunity? He immediately commanded the Tang army to divide the Dashi army and prepare to encircle and annihilate it.

    Gu Taibai was a good general, so he would not miss the opportunity to retreat and immediately ordered the Dashi army to retreat.  As soon as the order was passed, Dashi's army retreated to the city in an orderly manner.

    Gao Xianzhi commanded the Tang army to pursue them. However, although the Dashi army was defeated, it was not in chaos. It showed good quality and retreated in an orderly manner.  Although the Tang army bit hard, the damage was not great.

    The Dashi army withdrew into the city and the suspension bridge was raised. Gao Xianzhi could only sigh as he looked at the tall city walls of Talas.

    Gu Taibai stood on the top of the city, raised his fist towards Gao Xianzhi and said, "May I ask General Gao's name?"

    He was using Tang Dynasty etiquette, and Gao Xianzhi also cupped his fists and said in return: "I'm Gao Xianzhi!"

    "I have met General Gao!" Gu Taibai still used Tang etiquette to greet him and said: "Although this battle was a tentative attack, your army won. I have long heard that your army is good at fighting. The result is extraordinary. Gu Taibai is very  It¡¯s admiration! Although we will still have many battles to fight in the future, and we will be beaten to death on the battlefield, but I, Gu Taibai, admire the heroic spirit of your army very much!"

    A deep bow!

    As an enemy, Gao Xianzhi was so surprised that Gu Taibai did this.  Then he expressed great appreciation for his broadmindedness and bowed deeply: "Gao Xianzhi also admires the heroic spirit of your army!"

    "Thank you for the compliment! Is that what you people from the Tang Dynasty say?" Gu Taibai laughed.

    Gao Xianzhi nodded and led the army back to the camp.  (To be continued. If you want to know about the funeral, please log on to www.qidian.com. There are more chapters. Support the author and support genuine reading!) (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
