    As an enemy, Gu Taibai should hate Tang talents. He actually saluted Gao Xianzhi and expressed his admiration. It can be said to be a good story.

    Enemies, of course, will fight you to the death on the battlefield, but when you meet them, you may not be unable to express your admiration.  Hannibal, the famous military genius of ancient Carthage, created countless brilliance, but was finally defeated by Scipio in the Battle of Zama.  A few years later, the two met, and they had a great time talking about heroes over wine.

    During the Battle of Zama, Hannibal and Scipio fought in person. The two threw spears at each other, trying to kill each other. It can be said that they were feuding to the death.  It was surprising enough that the two of them were so happy to meet each other.  The most unexpected thing is that Hannibal didn't even have a place to stay in his later years. Scipio, his former rival, helped him. As a dignitary of the Roman Empire, Scipio ordered a tribe to take in Hannibal.  Only Nibal had a place to spend his old age.

    This is a good story in Western history. Now, a similar good story appears under Talas City.

    Not only did Gu Taibai and Gao Xianzhi pay tribute to each other, even the people collecting the corpses on both sides paid a three-point salute, without blushing or getting into a fight.  When both parties were cleaning up the corpses, if they found the other party's body, they were careful to avoid making any mistakes.

    This is surprising enough. The answer to this kind of surprise can be found in the words of Gu Taibai and Ge Shuhan, the main generals of both sides.

    After the corpses were cleaned up, the casualty results came out.  On the Dashi side, more than 1,700 people were killed and more than 22,500 wounded, for a total of 4,200 casualties.  The Tang army suffered less than 700 killed and more than 1,100 wounded, with a total of 1,800 casualties.

    With such a result, both sides are dissatisfied, very dissatisfied!

    Gu Taibai had a serious look on his face. He stood in the room, looked around at the generals, punched the table hard, and sighed: "I have heard that the Tang army is difficult to defeat, but I didn't expect it to be so difficult! It cost 4,200 people.  The Tang army suffered 1,800 casualties, which is disgraceful! Ever since the Prophet raised his troops, the food army has been invincible wherever it comes. There has never been such a situation where the casualties exceeded the enemy's, and it was more than twice as much."

    The Arab Empire began to rise from the first few tribal alliances. Wherever the army went, it was invincible and invincible. It did not encounter any decent opponents.  From the beginning of the army in 634 AD to 712 AD, it was the climax of the expansion of the Arab Empire. During these seventy-eight years, the Arabs conquered the vast Middle East. The vast territory of the empire was similar to that of China in its heyday, close to 14 million square meters.  kilometer.

    Its vast territory makes even the Roman Empire, of which Westerners are proud, far inferior.  The Byzantine Empire, one of the three great empires at that time, was also fearful and uneasy in front of this emerging empire.  If it were not for the "Greek Fire", the Byzantine Empire would have been destroyed by the Arab Empire.

    In nearly eighty years of war, the Arab Empire has never encountered a decent opponent, and no opponent can make them pay twice as much as their opponent. This is a shame!

    During his lifetime of fighting, Gu Taibai expanded the territory of Khorasan several times. He had never encountered such a tough opponent or fought such a costly battle. He couldn't help but be angry!

    Qi returned to Qi, Gu Taibai still had a good mind: "This is a strong opponent! An opponent worthy of respect!"

    Just as he sighed, Ge Shuhan was also sighing.  In Ge Shuhan's tent, all the generals stood at attention. This was a victory, but no one was a little happy. It was almost like a defeat.

    "I really didn't expect that the Dashi army would be so difficult to fight!" Ge Shuhan sighed: "Since the founding of the Tang Dynasty for a hundred years, there have been defeats, but there has never been such a useless victory in the battles. We paid a thousand and eight dollars.  , in exchange for 4,200 casualties, you¡¯re a coward!¡±

    Since the founding of the Tang Dynasty for a hundred years, there have been constant battles and dozens of countries destroyed. The surrounding ethnic minorities all trembled in front of the Tang army.  Even the tyrannical Turks were not destroyed by the Tang Dynasty in the end.  To destroy the Eastern Turks, Li Jing attacked Yinshan Mountain at night. It can be said that it was a plan and a trick.

    Su Dingfang defeated the Western Turks by force. In the battle of Yihe, the Western Turks' 100,000 troops surrounded Su Dingfang's more than 10,000 people. It can be said that the victory was guaranteed.  After the first battle, the Western Turks were defeated. This was not over yet. Tens of thousands of people were beheaded by the Tang army alone.  However, the Tang army did not pay much, and there was no problem with the casualty ratio of one to ten.

    In this battle, the casualties of the Tang army were only one to two. This was the first victory in a battle since the founding of the Tang Dynasty.  In the battle against Tubo, the total casualties of the Tang army were only about 20,000, but they annihilated hundreds of thousands of Tubo troops, with a casualty ratio of one to a dozen.

    With such a small casualty ratio, the generals have long regarded it as a defeat and a shame.

    Tian Renwan sighed with emotion: "If you don't fight, you won't know."Rushing, reaching the shooting range of the horned crossbow, the arrow rain became more dense.  When they reached the shooting range of the single bow and crossbow, the arrow rain became denser.  Finally, the archers of the Tang Army shot upwards. Needless to say, the density of the arrow rain was so intense.

    At this time, the Dashi army suffered many casualties after being struck by arrows from the Tang army. There were countless corpses on the ground.  Their formation has been scattered and their ranks are no longer organized.

    At this moment, the deadly rain of arrows finally stopped, and the surviving Dashi soldiers let out a long breath, "Allah bless us!"

    After all, the Dashi army was one of the most proficient armies in the world at that time. They responded quickly. In just a moment, the team reorganized and was no longer so messy, and the gaps were filled.

    Holding shields and spears, people lined up in a straight line, like a smooth water line, rushing towards the Tang army.

    Suddenly, a brilliance shone in front of them, as if mirrors were reflecting light.  It was the heavy infantry of the Tang Army who moved, and they came forward with Mo Dao in their hands. They raised the Mo Dao high in their hands, and when they got close to the Dashi soldiers, they slashed them down.

    Countless Mo Dao slashed down at the same time, as if a huge mirror was reflecting light, and the dazzling brilliance was eye-catching.  When the light flashed, the orderly formation of Dashi's army and the tight shield formation no longer existed.

    There are only pieces of flesh on the ground, broken shields, and discarded spears!

    Of course, there is blood flowing!

    The Tang Army's Mo Dao was the Tang Army's "weapon". Thousands of tall and powerful Tang troops wore armor and advanced with the Mo Dao, like a moving wall.  When they got close to the enemy, the swords they held high in their hands all fell down. Not to mention the shield formation of the Dashi army, even a copper wall and an iron wall could not withstand it.

    Rushing in front of the enemy, covering it with a shield, stabbing it with a spear, and then hacking it with a scimitar. This is a common strategy used by the Dashi army, and it has been tried and tested.  However, their shields were vulnerable to Mo Dao, like a piece of paper, broken with one blow.

    Before the Dashi soldier could understand it, he was chopped into pieces by Mo Dao!

    ??History, it was with the help of the extremely lethal crossbow arrows and Mo Dao that Gao Xianzhi fought against the Great Eaters in Talas for five days and five nights, repelling seven large-scale attacks by the Great Eaters' army.

    The surviving Dashi soldiers finally understood that although they were brave and experienced many battles, they had never encountered this kind of fighting method.  First he was at a loss, and then he turned around and ran away.

    However, the archers of the Tang Army began to fire arrows, and dense rain of arrows fell from the sky, killing many Dashi soldiers.  At this time, the Dashi soldiers had long lost the momentum they had when charging, and could only be shot.

    For the Dashi soldiers at this time, even the resurrection of the Prophet Muhammad could not make them have the will to resist.  You can't blame them for being timid. Mo Dao is really too powerful. No matter if you are an individual or a group, you will be defeated by Mo Dao!

    Gu Taibai has been fighting for a lifetime and has great confidence in the army he has forged. However, he has never seen such a terrifying scene: his army is actually vulnerable!  (To be continued. If you want to know about the funeral, please log on to www.qidian.com.
