When the first ray of sunshine in the morning shines on earth, the yellow-brown Samoy City is suddenly shrouded in a splendor.

The city of Sammot, the city of Samarkand in later generations, was the largest city in the river at this time, located on the south bank of Namishui (Zeravshang River). When Han Kang lived in the kingdom of the former Han Dynasty, the river of Namishui was introduced into the castle in three wisps, and two wisps passed around the city to serve as moats, and one wisps crossed the castle to serve as water for daily use by the military and civilians in the city.

The castle is about seven miles away from the dense water, roughly trapezoidal, slightly narrow in the northwest, wide in the southeast, and equally long on both sides, about ten miles in radiant. The city wall is completely made of rammed earth and about three meters high. After the Great Cannibal occupied this place, a towering Great Food Temple was built on the basis of the Zoroastrian temple in the city. The Great Site Tower is extremely high and can be seen from outside the city.

Starting from Samogh City, it goes west to Abumi City (Bukhara), about 600 miles. Apart from a very small desert area along the way, most of them are the Nami River Valley Plain area about fifty miles wide. Samogh City is the first plain that Nami Water encountered after the Mid Water flows out from the Sogdian Mountains (the Turkic Mountains in later generations) to the east. It is naturally the widest and the oasis farm is the most vast.

During the heyday of Kangguo (Kangju Kingdom), there were 120,000 household registrations and over 100,000 soldiers. It was one of the major countries in the rivers. However, after the Tang Dynasty, with the Turks and the great cannibals, they rage one after another. In addition, the Namishui River Basin was flat, and it was divided into countless small countries from Abumi City to Samohu City. However, in this basin, the Kangguo State was still the largest. Near Samohu City, hundreds of miles, all the irrigation channels formed by the dense water were irrigation and irrigation millions of acres of farmland in Kangguo.

To the northeast of Samoh City is the garden of the former King of Kang Kingdom, covering an area of ​​more than 1,000 acres. Going eastward, to the shore of Mishui, there is a horse farm covering an area of ​​up to 10,000 acres. Dayuan horses are also thriving here.

However, although Kang State is rich, it is not a place of beauty. Walking east from An State and along the Great Plain, the army can quickly reach the city of Samo-Lucheng, which is far less favorable terrain formed by the crisscrossing hills, grasslands and mountains in Shiguo.

Therefore, in the ninth year of Tianbao, except for the Shi Kingdom and the Bakhanna Kingdom, the other Zhaowu countries were either completely occupied by the cannibals or became their vassals. If they still followed the usual historical trajectory, the entire river would become their territory after the Battle of Talas.

Yesterday, when Sun Xiurong led the army over the dense water and camped, he was not harassed by the cannibals, but allowed them to camp. Although Sun Xiurong was a little surprised, he immediately understood when he saw the place of Ziyad's camp.

There are six gates in Samoe City, among which the gate at the southeast corner has two roads leading to the south. One is in the south, and naturally crosses the mountains and reaches Qishi City at the closest distance, and the other is in the north, and crosses the mountains and goes around Qishi City at a longer distance.

For this reason, although there is only one city gate in the southeast corner of Samoe City, there is actually a small gate to the north, and Ziad's camp is set between the two city gates!

When I looked again, I saw that Ziard's camp was very close to the castle and was set up almost next to the moat. This arrangement was naturally not for the convenience of entering the castle when the battle was not effective, but for other purposes.

What is it for?

One of them is naturally convenient to connect with Hassan reinforcements coming from the north road, but the truth is definitely more than that.

When the camp of the Shattered Ye Army was set up, the sky had dimmed. Sun Xiurong did not look at the castle immediately. However, when the Shattered Ye Army, except for the light barracks, left behind the camp, all the remaining troops were dispatched, Sun Xiurong immediately understood one of the reasons.

"The Sacred Ye Army came from afar. Because of the long-term war, they would definitely not abandon the camp easily, but the great cannibals are different. They are very close to the castle and can easily get supplies from there. In other words, once the war begins, their men and horses do not need to stay behind, and they can all be dispatched!"

"This is the trap Ziad put on himself. Although it is sinister and vicious, he has to jump in."

"In this way, there are at least a few thousand people in the city who cannibalize the people of Kang and transport food and grass."

"However, he abandoned the castle and set up camp outside. Is there no other reason besides attracting our army to fight to the death?"

Except for the light barracks at the four camps, the remaining Snow Ye Army was dispatched. According to the news of the Yu Hou Army, the Dashi Army also dispatched, but they only lined up in front of their own camp and did not walk much forward.

"Why are they so reluctant to leave the camp, why don't they just stationed in the city? Are they trying to keep our army away from the camp so that their surprise troops can capture the camp? But my camp is integrated with four camps and cannons, so how easy is it to break through?"

The distance between the camps of both sides was about five miles. When Sun Xiurong and his army arrived about one mile in front of the Dashi Army, he finally saw the city of Samo!

The regulations of Samoa City are naturally different from those of the Han people. Although its southeast corner is a "corner", it is also a trapezoid. The shortest horizontal line of the trapezoid is on the outermost periphery, and the long side naturally leans against the city, and the walls on both sides are.

No one was seen on the city wall in the southeast corner, but Sun Xiurong was a person who traveled through time for three lifetimes after all, and he immediately saw the clues.

Although people are easy to hide, some things cannot be hidden.

He saw some high wooden equipment arranged on the city wall in the southeast corner. These things were naturally not defense tools to prevent enemy ants from siegeing the city, but were long-range weapon-catstone carts that were very popular in the river area at this time!

Based on the level of the catapult cart at this time, the most lethality within one mile was estimated to be possible, and the Dashi Army was lined up against the city wall, so naturally it was not injured. When he thought of this, Sun Xiurong couldn't help but take a breath of air conditioning.

"What a great Ziad, who is worthy of being the number one general under Bingbo Silin, may still be the number one general in the Great Food Kingdom. Although it looks clumsy everywhere, it actually has a hidden murderous intent. If our army takes the initiative to attack, they may either remain in place or move slightly ahead. When the two sides fight fiercely, the huge rocks on the city fall like raindrops, which will inevitably cause great harm to our army."

"At this time, Hassan's reinforcements came out from the flanks again. Even if the Ye army is brave, they may not be able to catch them."

"The last time I met Nasr, the Turkic general in the late stage of the White-Clothing Food Festival, and now I met a famous general in the early stage of the Black-Clothing Food Festival. The situations are completely different. One is to work hard and the other is to be old. Not only the generals, but I am afraid the soldiers are the same!"

On the high platform pulled by two horses in the middle of the brigade, Ziyad's formation was also clear at a glance. After seeing this, Sun Xiurong's mood became solemn again.

Standing in the middle of the enemy formation was a large area of ​​black heavy armored cavalry. This was the first time he had seen so many heavy cavalry. Not only were the cavalry wrapped in armor, but even the war horses were wrapped in chain mail!

This system is naturally not something that can be owned by the cannibals from the Arabian Peninsula, nor is it owned by the Roman Empire at this time, but unique to the Persians in the past!

On the left side of the heavy cavalry is a dense spear forest, and naturally the Damascus spear soldiers who are proud of by the cannibals. On the right side is a large group of swords and shields holding shields, holding short swords and exposing their calves. At first glance, it looks very similar to the Roman infantry, but the helmets on their heads are pointed, and some even carry flags, which obviously combine a mixture of Roman infantry and Persian infantry.

On the first day of the first day, it seemed that the sword and shield soldiers were easily attacked, but in front of them were some large shield soldiers. The large shields of more than one person were shining yellow, either pure copper or covered with copper. In the middle of the shield, a short spear about one meter long stretched outward. The shield was slightly tilted with an edge of about eighty degrees. Needless to say, there must be an iron rod or a hard wooden stick inside that stood on the ground.

Behind them are two teams of men and one team of cavalry. They don’t seem to be wearing armor, but they are all carrying bows and arrows. Naturally, they are Turkic cavalry or Persian cavalry from the river, and they are probably light cavalry.

Behind the heavy cavalry was a piece of infantry completely wrapped in black armor. The infantry were all tall. Because they were hiding behind the heavy cavalry, Sun Xiurong couldn't see their military equipment. However, in the middle of the infantry, there was a high platform like him. There were a few people standing on the platform, and the costumes of those people were vaguely visible.

Most of the bulging body was covered with multiple layers of armor. The face was hidden in the mask and could not be seen clearly. The whole body was wrapped in the armor, and even the calves were gone. He held a shield in one hand, a short spear in the other, and a short sword in the waist. If it weren't for the helmet standard on his head, Sun Xiurong would definitely think that this was another Roman legion.

On one side of this unit is another light cavalry.

Sun Xiurong took his right thumb deep into his body, and after a few gestures, he roughly realized his mind.

"Our army is only five hundred meters away from them. According to the visual distance and the tightness of the formation, they have about 15,000 people. Except for about five or six thousand light cavalry, the rest have armor, which surrounds the southeast corner of the castle in a fan shape. There is no vacant in the middle of the formation, which means there are no secret weapons hidden."

"The question is, how can we avoid the enemy's catapult and fight with the enemy?"

......

Just as Sun Xiurong focused his attention to the formation of the Great Food Army, Qi Yade on the high platform of the opposite back formation was also carefully watching the formation of the Shattered Ye Army opposite.

"Well, it was divided into four large arrays, and one large array broke forward. According to the news that merchants and our secret agents learned, the camp in front of the camp should be the camp led by Sun Xiurong. Haha, they are different from us, and the coach is actually at the forefront."

"Then there is a square formation on both sides of it, right, as I imagined, all of them are cavalry. The front camp is closely formed and the surrounding three are loose. What does this mean?"

"Although they are all cavalrymen, the cavalry and war horses in front are wrapped in armor. Although the armor is not as neat as ours, it is diverse. However, judging by the height of the war horses, the figure of the cavalry and the weapons in their hands, they are still very elite."

"But that's it. This is the legendary invincible Shattered Ye Army? That's it."
