Zhang Shigui ordered people to bury these big cannibals. Ashinafu thought to himself: "Aren't you worried about delaying the military plane by doing this?"

"We are here to protect General Liang Jianfang's flanks. We just need to hold on here. We don't need to stand under their walls."

Compared with Liang Jianfang's aggressiveness and anxiety, Zhang Shigui appeared much calmer. He looked at the surrounding terrain, divided his troops into two groups, and arranged them respectively upstream and downstream of the water source.

He looked at the sky again and saw that it was already afternoon, so he ordered people to camp here.

Zhang Shigui said to Ashinafu: "The Babylonians in the past gave this river a name, called Euphrates."

Ashina Fu thought and replied: "Without this river, this place would be a wasteland."

"Well, as long as we cut off the river, the people in the city will die of thirst and starvation."

"If necessary, we will make arrangements."

"No need." Zhang Shigui put his hands behind his back, "Don't imitate the cannibals and do such horrific things, otherwise who else in the West would be able to obey the Tang people?"

"Good morning, General!"

Ashina Fu Nian bowed and saluted.

Zhang Shigui whispered: "Since Liang Jianfang wants to use artillery to destroy the city, artillery is ruthless, but people are sentimental. At least let them know that the people of the Tang Dynasty also care about human nature."

Liang Jianfang's side has been bombarded with artillery for a whole day.

A scout came to report, "General, this should be the last wall of the cannibal."

At this time, the Tibetan soldiers and horses came back, and they had wiped out the cannibals who were attacking from the flank.

Liang Jianfang ordered: "The whole army will camp on the spot and we will discuss it tomorrow."

"But the city wall is right in front of us. We can take advantage of this to break through the city wall."

"They are very afraid that we can blast through their city walls, so what if we scare them for one night? The Tang Dynasty's art of war is not only about attacking cities and territories, but also using scheming techniques. These big cannibals still have to learn."

Night enveloped the land, and in the city of Babylon, a brazier burned in a royal palace.

Many people died in front of Musab's eyes. They were all trying to persuade the Tang people to surrender.

Now everyone in the palace was silent, and no one dared to surrender.

A soldier ran over in panic and reported the situation outside the city.

Musab knew what the Tang people had done, and now only the thin inner city wall remained outside.

In fact, you can hear the sound of artillery outside in the palace and it hasn't stopped for a whole day.

The people in the city were in a panic. They were afraid that the Tang army would break through the city. This was a foregone conclusion. No matter how thick the city wall was, it would be useless.

Musab wiped the blood from his hands, his blue eyes filled with anger, "As long as you give the Gauls enough gold, they are willing to do anything. Send an envoy to tell them that as long as they come to help me, I can give them a lot of food."

All the women and gold in the city."

Hearing this, the ministers standing below were a little surprised, but they hurriedly went about their business.

Naturally, Musab would not dedicate everything to the Gauls, but just hoped that the Gauls could contain the Tang army.

Some officials understood the deeper meaning. The Gauls were now in the north. If they wanted to be the beneficiaries of this war, they would repeatedly vacillate between Dashi and the Tang Dynasty and ask for a price.

Musab did not expect them to come to save Babylon, and these Gauls were no match for the Tang people.

But as long as enough Gauls died in the hands of the Tang people, there would be a chance to unite the Gauls and attack the Tang people together.

Moreover, there is the holy city of Jerusalem behind Babylon, so there is still a way out for him.

Musab is a prophet who is good at manipulating people's hearts. He is different from the original prophet of Dashi.

Following his instructions, he put all the blame on the Tang people, and soon incited the whole city to hate the Tang people.

Musab manipulated people's hearts and used hatred to control the people in the city. He felt that the people were stupid and would easily die for the sake of the prophet.

These people would rush towards the Tang people one after another.

Early the next morning, the Tang Dynasty's artillery began to roar again.

A gap was finally opened in the city wall, followed by several rounds of shelling, making the gap even bigger.

The sound of artillery today was not as intensive as yesterday.

The heartless cannons are not very useful, and many of them were scrapped yesterday.

Seeing that the city wall was gone, Li Xiaoyi was about to rush forward, but Liang Jianfang stopped him and said, "Wait a minute!"

Li Xiaoyi said loudly: "General, the city wall is broken."

"Of course I know that the city wall is broken." He patted the iron helmet on Li Xiaoyi's head and said, "Do you know what's going on inside the city? Don't you think about the ambush in the city when you rush in?"

Li Xiaoyi lowered his head and realized his mistake.

Liang Jianfang added: "You don't have to worry. If we use artillery for one more day, no matter how many ambushes we have, they will be unable to hide under the bombardment of artillery."

"Here!"

Looking at Belus again, Liang Jianfang asked: "This used to be your Persian territory, have you been here?"

"Never came."

After hearing the other party's reply, Liang Jianfang said again: "Back then, you, the Prince of Persia, never even came to your own territory. I heard that this is a very fertile bay?"

Belus nodded again. Of course he knew this. According to the stories spread in Persia, this place was very rich, and the Persians dreamed of regaining it.

Liang Jianfang smiled and said: "Now listen carefully, from now on this area will be under the jurisdiction of our Tang Dynasty. We Tang people will build a protective palace here and it will be governed by the Tang people. The Persians are not allowed to interfere in the affairs here without authorization."

Belus still nodded, no matter how excessive the Tang Dynasty's request was, he would agree.

Liang Jianfang asked him to write a letter of credence on the spot to prove the future ownership of this place.

Even if the cannibals failed, this fertile bay would not belong to the Persians, it would belong to the Tang people.

When Belius signed the letter of credence, Liang Jianfang's eyes were filled with fire. For him, this was another great achievement.

After putting away the stamped credentials, Liang Jianfang whispered: "You Persians will be very rich."

Belus bowed humbly, "Thank you, General."

"Yes." Liang Jianfang nodded with satisfaction.

Belus was very afraid of Liang Jianfang. He hoped that this Tang general could leave Persia as soon as possible, and that the Tang Dynasty could send a gentle man like Pei Xingjian to govern Persia.

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! The cannon continued to bombard, and in another hour, the entire wall of Babylon collapsed.

Looking around, one can see clusters of low-rise houses, as well as giant cannibals near each house.

Liang Jianfang ordered: "Send someone to spread the word and tell them in Dashi language that the Tang Dynasty will bombard their houses. Unarmed women and children can hide on the other side of the city. We will not kill innocent people."

"Here!"

The artillery advanced a mile, and this time the artillery was aimed at the houses.

It is a very dangerous thing to order someone to deliver a message, but Belus still ordered a follower who knew the language of Dashi to go to the city wall very quickly.

The shouting was so loud that even the Tang army could hear it.

Soon there were figures in the city, and their daughters and children who were trying to escape to the rear were stopped by Dashi's own soldiers, who killed the women and children who were trying to escape.

Seeing this scene, Li Xiaoyi glared angrily. Although he had no feelings for this place, he had also been injured, and a Persian woman healed his wound.

Seeing this scene, his eyes seemed to be on fire.

One by one, the unarmed men tried to flee to the rear, but were killed by their own soldiers, who wanted these women and children to be used as cannon fodder.

If they try to run away, they will be killed.

The army of the Tang Dynasty was very silent as they watched this tragic scene.

Soon, women and children knew that their way back was blocked. They preferred to leave the city and then fled far away. They knelt on the ground facing the Tang army and made a gesture of surrender.

Belius ordered people to see and take care of these women and children.

More and more people are escaping.

But the next scene made everyone furious again. A large food soldier stopped the women and children who were trying to escape, and slashed at these unarmed people with their swords.

Belus whispered: "General, for the big cannibals, women and children are their property. They are very barbaric. To them, killing their own property is no big deal."

Liang Jianfang cursed angrily: "These beasts! Keep firing! Keep hitting!"

"Here!" Some soldiers responded: "Fire!"

The cannons fired in unison, and the remaining three hundred cannons continued to bombard. Burning fireballs continued to fall into the houses. These small houses were vulnerable to the artillery.

A fire broke out in the city, and the houses in the distance were flattened by artillery.

If the Tang army had enough gunpowder and cannonballs, they could level this ancient city.

"Report!" A scout came to report: "There are Gauls going south."

Liang Jianfang spat and said angrily: "Are you coming for a certain family?"

"Mostly yes."

As soon as he finished speaking, another scout came to report, "General! The Gauls have withdrawn again."

"What?" Liang Jianfang said in surprise: "Why are they withdrawing?"
