"Tell the big eater that I have prepared one hundred thousand catties of Greek fire!"
"If they don't surrender in three days, I will pour all the 100,000 kilograms of Greek fire into the city of Hilla and burn the city to the ground!"
Rappasu smiled and said, "What a great idea!"
Everyone stared at Su Chen: Our total kerosene is less than 30,000 jins, and half of it is ordinary oil. Greek fire only has about 10,000 jins.
Marshal, is it really okay for you to scare the cannibal like this?
"Let's harass the cannibal for three days and see how Osman reacts!"
"After you all go back, step up your preparations for a decisive battle with the Ottomans."
Everyone was ordered to go back and prepare, and Su Chen reminded again:
"By the way, the idea is to keep an eye on the 10,000-strong eclipse army on the other side of the river and try to delay their return across the river."
Rapupasu agreed: "Don't worry, Commander, I'll keep an eye on you!"
The pontoon was bombed,
What ran to the other side of the river was the food army from Qiaotou Camp.
Now I am still wandering on the other side of the river, trying to find a place to cross the river and return to the west bank of the Gila River.
Most of the Persian army that crossed the river to the other side had already moved south,
Only a small number of people were left on the other side of the river to monitor the Dashi army on the east bank of the river.
After arranging the plan, everyone went to implement it separately.
Su Chen waited to see Osman's reaction.
Osman is almost going crazy here:
The bombs dropped by the Tang Army's hot air balloons were not many, and they did not cause many casualties to the cannibals.
But the non-stop explosions at twelve hours a day made it impossible for the big eater to rest.
From time to time, a few cans of Greek fire were dropped on the hot air balloon, although each time the fire was quickly extinguished,
But the fuss caused everyone to panic, and who knows, suddenly another fire broke out somewhere!
The Tang people also dropped countless leaflets to scare the cannibals, saying that they would burn the city of Hilla with Greek fire.
This big cannibal really didn’t think Su Chen was trying to scare them. After all, Su Chen had burned Nasiriyah to rubble before!
The morale of the Taishi army in the Greek city is now extremely low, and many soldiers are quietly preparing to flee.
One hundred thousand kilograms of Greek fire, once it burned in the city of Hyla, no one in the city would be able to survive!
It happened that at this time, Osman received another urgent report: the Rahm people who ran out of the desert had occupied Najaf and were attacking the important city of Kufa.
Over at Ctesiphon, although Yisi and the Khazars are not a big threat for the time being,
But Hoslo is heading north. Once he and Yisi and the Khazars join forces, Ctesiphon will be in danger!
The most hateful thing is that the one from the Kingdom of Canni slipped through the net. She didn’t know how to lobby the nobles of Mecca and Medina.
Those greedy nobles broke their previous agreement and began to quietly gather troops. If they continue to cause trouble, they would really dare to elect Zubair as king.
"Your Majesty, we can't go on like this!"
Muvisa said to Osman:
"The morale of the soldiers in the city is shaken. Once the Tang people really set fire to Shila City, I'm worried that I won't be able to control the troops of those tribes."
Osman said angrily: "The noble warrior of the gods has become so cowardly now!"
"Even if we go out to fight the Tang Dynasty again, what are our chances of winning?"
Muwesa whispered: "Your Majesty, why not agree to the Tang people's conditions and send them away first."
"I guess the Tang people have long wanted to return to China. Once they leave, we will have plenty of opportunities to regroup."
Osman sighed: "Haven't you noticed yet?
The Tang people will not leave until they reduce my troops to a certain level!"
Osman could also guess Su Chen's plan: Osman would never give Osman another chance to become the dominant player in the Mesopotamia.
Muwesa persuaded: "We also know that the Tang State is currently experiencing constant internal troubles. Even if our strength is greatly damaged this time, as long as the Tang people leave, it is estimated that they will not send troops here in a few years."
"Your Majesty, the Tang people are just outsiders and will not stay here for a long time. As long as they are given some benefits, they can be sent away."
"Your Majesty, you should be more worried about the situation in Mecca. Zubair and the others have always been at odds with you. I heard that Talha was also dishonest..."
Osman slapped the table angrily: "A group of greedy people who are greedy for life and afraid of death. They had to provoke the Tang Dynasty in the first place!"
Muwesa said helplessly: "Your Majesty, after all, you gave the order!"
"Besides, the purpose of the Tang people's coming is to weaken my Dashi. They will definitely only look for you, Your Majesty!"
Osman covered his head with a headache. He didn't expect that Dashi would be in such a state of decay in just a few months.
"Your Majesty! This time we were not prepared enough. We did not expect the Tang Dynasty's artillery to be so powerful!"
"At present, only by sending away the Tang people first can we have a chance to deal with the greedy people in the country and collect the rebels everywhere."
"We have obtained a lot of valuable technologies from the nobles of the Tang Dynasty, but we just don't have time to implement them. As long as we have time to monetize those technologies, we will not be afraid of them even if the Tang Dynasty sends troops again in a few years!"
"Your Majesty, we cannot act on our temporary arrogance right now!"
Muwesa continued to persuade.
Osman let out a long sigh, was silent for a long time, and finally decided:
"As my special envoy, you will leave for Basra tomorrow!"
"Go and talk to the prince of Tang about the specific conditions for withdrawal!"
Muwesa was stunned: "Your Majesty, the commander-in-chief of the Tang Army is outside the city."
Osman said bitterly: "This person named Su Chen is a very hateful thing."
"The nobles of the Tang Dynasty told me that Su Chen was very hostile to foreigners and had beaten foreign envoys many times."
"This time the Tang State sent troops to have a feast, it was he who planned it."
"Can we talk to someone like this?"
Muwesa nodded: "Brother Chen will leave early tomorrow morning!"
"But it's a thousand miles away. During this period, your Majesty, please be careful!"
Osman sneered: "Huh! With the ten thousand people he has, Su Chen still doesn't dare to attack the city of Shira."
"Set fire to the city, that's just to scare people, he doesn't have that much Greek fire!"
Muwesa was worried: "But he once burned Nasiriyah, even if there weren't that many..."
Osman waved his hand to interrupt Muwesa: "You don't have to worry about this, I will lead him to the upper reaches of the Shira River."
"Su Chen will not lead his troops to retreat without a decisive battle with him!"
Muwesa didn't say anything and went down to prepare for the next day's trip.
Su Chen also received news that the Lachem people had captured Najaf.
Seeing that the three days for the cannibals were up, Osman showed no reaction.
Su Chen is preparing to pour kerosene on the city of Xila.
As a result, Lapu Pasu came to report that the food army on the other side of the river was gathering twenty miles upstream from Shila City and was trying to re-erect a pontoon bridge!
The scouts also came back and reported that a large army of food had left the city of Shila from the north gate and was heading north along the river.
Everyone was stunned for a moment, and Xue Rengui said doubtfully:
"Commander, Osman isn't going to run away, is he?"
