    Besides, since Sars left Constantinople, he led his army on an expedition, and the success was beyond his imagination.  Because of the fall of Damascus, the morale of the food army in the north was low. As soon as his army arrived, these former Eastern Roman Empire lands surrendered to him to regain territory.

    Things were so happy that while Sass was busy reclaiming the land, he sent someone to report the victory to Philip Bix.  The emperor's praises continued to come, which made Sass even more happy.

    After taking over the territory in Asia Minor, Sars led his army southward, preparing to take back Syria and Egypt.  On this day, while the army was marching, a scout came to report: "General, the Tang army has been spotted ahead!"

    "How many people are there?" Sass raised his eyebrows and asked with some expectation.

    "There are not many people, almost ten thousand." The scout answered truthfully.

    Ten thousand Tang troops were really too few, because Saas had a hundred thousand troops in his hands. If he couldn't defeat them ten to one, he thought he should jump into the Mediterranean and drown.

    "Send the order: Set up your battle formation and fight the Tang Army!" Sasse looked into the distance with great anticipation: "Tang Army, hum, I hope you can fight! God is with us!" The devout Christian crossed his chest.  Made a cross.

    As soon as the order was passed, the Eastern Roman army marched in in battle formation, and the black heavy cavalry swarmed towards the Tang army like a tide.  The earliest divergence between the Western Roman Empire and the Eastern Roman Empire was in the military aspect. The Western Roman Empire was dominated by traditional infantry, while the Eastern Roman Empire was dominated by cavalry.  The heavy cavalry was created by the famous general Belisarius, who reconquered the Western Roman Empire with his powerful cavalry troops.

    Saas is riding on a horse, building an awning with his hands and looking into the distance.  I saw the Tang army approaching in front, in neat formation, with a rainbow-like momentum, their iron helmets and armor sparkling in the sun, and they were not timid because of the small number of people.

    Although Saas relied on his large number of troops and did not take the Tang army seriously, he still had to admire the Tang army's momentum. He kept nodding and felt a sense of luck in his heart: "Fortunately, their number is not large, otherwise, we would not necessarily be able to  Can win! God bless, the glory of the Roman Empire will be restored in my hands! I am Belisarius the Second!"

    This Tang army was all infantry, so Sass naturally didn't take it to heart and ordered the heavy cavalry to charge into the formation.  The heavily armored cavalry controlled their horses and galloped, waving their sharp swords and shouting as they rushed towards the Tang army.  The shouts that shook the heaven and the earth eclipsed the wind and clouds. Sass listened to his ears and felt happy in his heart, thinking that this was indeed the army of the Roman Empire!

    Contrary to the thunderous movement of the heavy cavalry, the Tang army was quiet and did not make a sound. They just looked at the rushing heavy cavalry indifferently.  European tactics are somewhat different from Chinese tactics. According to Sars's idea, he used cavalry to attack infantry. That was a sure thing, not to mention that this was the most powerful heavy cavalry. The infantry of the Tang Army encountered  They are unlucky and will definitely fail.

    However, the development of the facts was completely opposite to Sasse¡¯s expectations.  Suddenly, a dense rain of arrows was shot out from the Tang army formation. The arrows were so dense that it was impossible for even a fly to escape from the arrows.

    "This is a heavily armored cavalry, and its whole body is covered in iron armor. Will the arrows be useful?" Sass did not take the Tang army's arrow rain to heart at all.

    You can¡¯t blame him for this. The difference between the Roman Empire and the Dashi Empire is that the Roman Empire paid more attention to crossbows.  During the Roman Empire's most glorious years, the Roman Empire's crossbows frightened their enemies.  As the years passed, the glory of the Roman Empire ceased, and its armaments came to a standstill, and even regressed in some aspects.

    Although the Eastern Roman Empire was proud to inherit the mantle of the Roman Empire, their crossbow technology was far behind that of the Tang Dynasty.

    Just when Sass changed his mind, the heavy cavalry had been covered by the rain of arrows. There was a sound of crying for father and mother. The originally invincible heavy cavalry actually became confused. Many people were hit by arrows and fell off their horses.  The scream before death.  Even those who were not dead were still screaming.

    During the Southern and Northern Dynasties, heavy cavalry was very popular, and even the Sui Dynasty still maintained a considerable number of heavy cavalry. By the Tang Dynasty, heavy cavalry had withdrawn from the stage of history.  With Tang Taizong's outstanding military talent, he could not fail to see the huge power of heavy cavalry charging into the battle. One of the important factors why the heavy cavalry was withdrawn from the war was that the Tang army already had more powerful troops than the heavy cavalry.  Weapons, which are crossbows and swords, no longer require heavy cavalry.

    The crossbow arrows of the Tang Dynasty had no problem penetrating heavy armor. This has been tested in countless battles.

    The heavy cavalry of the Eastern Roman Empire was built by the famous general Belisarius. Although he died more than a hundred years ago, his legacy is still there. The heavy cavalry is brave and good at fighting. Although it pays a heavy price, it is still brave and undaunted.  ?Now, what to do with these ivory?  Do you want to sell it?  This is just too much.  "

    Li Longji waved his hand and said: "No one thinks it's too much. It's not much, it's still less. I tell you, this is just what Gu Taibai put in Samarkand, there are also Kufa, Damascus, Constantine  The treasure of the castle will arrive soon. Put the things away for now and sell them when needed."

    Yao Chong received the order.

    Ruizhong pulled Li Longji and said, "Sanlang, my father has something to say, I don't know whether I should say it or not."

    Li Longji hurriedly said: "Father, if you have anything to say, please tell me."

    Ruizhong waved his hand and said, "You guys, step back." The ministers responded and backed away.  Ruizhong then said: "Sanlang, this is your sister Jinxian's lifelong event. This girl has high vision and is not looked down upon by others. She doesn't know what kind of devil she is, but her heart is tied to Wanrong.  Sanlang, please help her."

    Li Longji was very surprised, touched his forehead, and laughed out loud: "Father, does Jinxian sister like Chen Wanrong? Didn't you see it! This girl has a very tight tongue."

    "Yu Zhen said it, otherwise, my father wouldn't know." Ruizong sighed and said, "My father will be relieved if Jin Xian can find a suitable husband." He loved Princess Jin Xian very much, and she spent her whole life  It was reliable, so he was naturally happy.

    Li Longji frowned and said, "Father, do you agree with this marriage? Chen Wanrong is married."

    Ruizong sighed and shook his head: "Father, I have asked, this girl does not seek status, but only wants to stay with Wanrong for life. Father, I think this marriage can be concluded, and it will be good for both you and Wanrong."  "

    Li Longji smiled and said: "Father, you are worried that your ministers will be disadvantageous to Chen Wanrong, right? Since ancient times, the saying that great achievements shake the master has been said to those incompetent emperors, because they have no way to control these talented people.  The ministers had no choice but to be suspicious and had no choice but to kill him. Father, Emperor Taizong is not afraid of this. Li Jing¡¯s military exploits are so great, does Emperor Taizong have any doubts about him? Because Emperor Taizong can completely control it. Chen Wanrong¡¯s contribution is not  He is small, but I can still control him. However, since Sister Jinxian is interested, I will take care of it!"

    "You are so right. Would such powerful emperors as Qin Shihuang, Emperor Wu of Han, and Emperor Taizong of Tang be afraid of their ministers?  Don¡¯t be afraid at all, because they can handle it completely!

    Ruizhong was a little worried about Chen Wanrong, thinking that if they formed this marriage, the relationship between Li Longji and Chen Wanrong could be brought closer.  After listening to Li Longji's words, I remembered that he was overly worried. Li Longji was rich in talents and was not afraid of his ministers' meritorious service. Even if he made great achievements, he could still control them. He couldn't help but feel relieved.  (To be continued. If you want to know about the funeral, please log on to www.qidian.com. There are more chapters.
