Red Dragon City

Four days had passed since the battle that day. During these four days, the city lord and his men lived in fear every day. They didn't know what the Tang army meant and thought they were going to attack the city the next day. Who knew that the Tang army had no such intention at all and instead began their own training outside the city.

Of course, the Tang army was very cautious. When they were training outside the city, they were always facing the city with artillery and elite troops. If the Byzantine army launched a surprise attack, there would probably be no good results.

So in this situation, they had no choice but to stand on the city wall and worry. The city wall on the right was already shaky, but it had not collapsed yet, so even if they wanted to reinforce the city wall, there was no way. What's more, the city wall could collapse at any time. Who would you send to repair it?

The common people and soldiers were not fools. Asking us to repair the city wall at this time clearly meant that we were not taking our lives seriously. If the wall collapsed, wouldn't we all be buried? So even if such an order was given, many people were unwilling to go over and work, unless you were willing to kill people in the city.

When thinking of this, the city lord himself shook his head. Now it is necessary to unite all the forces that can be united in the city to fight against the Tang army together. If you start a massacre in the city, before the Tang army rushes in, I am afraid we will be dead. This can be said to be the second volume of the second volume.

General Changsun also wanted to start the attack the next day, but after seeing a lot of summaries within the army, he immediately stopped this idea. Everyone who participated in the battle before had to make a summary. This is also a tradition of the Tang Dynasty army. Only in this way can we find out the shortcomings and fill them, continue to increase our combat effectiveness and reduce our losses.

The main conclusion of this summary comes from the Tuyuhun cavalry. They were also a powerful force on the battlefield before. Although they won this time, according to what they said, heavy armor is indeed useful and it puts a lot of pressure on them. If we don’t take it seriously, once something unfavorable to us happens on the battlefield, our army may not be able to continue to resist, so it is better to wait for the weapons from Chang'an City.

Sima Jun has always paid great attention to the ideas of his subordinates. Since his subordinates have already said it, we don't need to rush in the next two days. The Chang'an City Arsenal has also sent someone to deliver a letter. This batch of weapons will arrive in a month, so we don't need to rush in this month.

If we charge forward in this situation and are surrounded by the enemy's heavy armor, our chain crossbows will not be able to allow us to completely eliminate them. When facing these heavy armors, we are likely to make mistakes. Once a mistake occurs, we must use ten times the effort to make up for it. There may be some twists and turns in this war, which is definitely not what Sima Jun wants to see.

Although our army also has heavy armor, many of my subordinates have studied that Westerners are much taller and stronger than us. If we were to compete with them in heavy armor, we would have no chance of winning. So in this case, if we give up our strengths and compete with others' strengths, we would be stupid.

So Sima Jun made this decision and asked everyone to start training on the spot. If the army in the city came out, it would be an advantage for us. In a place like the wilderness, whether it is a cavalry decisive battle or a musketeer team, we can win.

And he had another idea behind this decision. Even if we take over Red Dragon City, we still have to fight all the way to Constantinople. There are many enemies along the way. If there are heavily armored troops everywhere along the way, we will most likely face various disasters. Once we are surrounded by them, our days will be over.

So in order for our army to win, he also knew what to do next. It would be better for us to rest here for a month. This month is nothing to us. As long as we can wait for the new chain crossbow arrows, victory will belong to me in the future.

For the Tang army, they have more than a month of training time, and many people can even take vacations, but for the people of the Byzantine Empire, their days may not be so good. They live in fear every day because they have no initiative at all.

If they could decide when to start a war, they would probably live a good life, but now they can only watch the Tang army prepare.

"Is there still no news from the Arab Empire? They have already signed an alliance with us. According to the terms of the alliance, they should now launch an attack on the Tang army."

Eladoan thought for a while and said that the Arab Empire army should start the attack. As long as they start the attack, it will be equivalent to two battlefields. No matter how powerful the Tang army is, they will have to split their troops into two places. Although they will not be able to defeat the Tang army at that time, at least it will be slightly easier to fight than now, and they will not be unable to sleep every night.

Take last night, for example. Many people were already asleep, but do you know what the Tang army did? In the dead of night, they began artillery training, blasting the surrounding area with deafening blasts. Many people thought the Tang army was approaching, so they quickly donned their full armor and rushed to the city walls. But in the end, the Tang army never arrived, wasting their entire night.

Although some people have said that the Tang Dynasty army's way of firing artillery combat must have made their soldiers unable to sleep well, in fact, this is a false proposition. They must have told their soldiers about the artillery training at night. Many soldiers even did not sleep at that time. They were well prepared.

On the other hand, these people in the Byzantine Empire probably did not have such benefits. They were awakened from their sleep and had no idea what was going on, so they could only listen obediently. As for their final outcome, it is hard to say.
