Not only Harlan and Thomas, who were commanding the battle on the city wall, were shocked by the black slaves' bravery, but even some of the Western Qin generals on the high platform in the Western Qin army's formation outside the city were shocked by the black slaves' bravery. , This completely subverted their cognition.
In everyone's eyes, the reason why slaves are slaves is because these people are cowardly.
Otherwise, why would they have been willing to be slaves without thinking of ways to escape and resist?
But now these black people who have always been cowardly and cowardly The slaves suddenly became masculine.
This style of painting is wrong.
Fan Yong, the commander of the Second Army of the Prisoner Army, clasped his fists and said to Zhao Ziliang: "Your Majesty, I have been with these black slaves for more than ten days, and I found that each of these black slaves worked very hard, so I centralized management of them these days.
They are all very honest and have never done anything overstepping their bounds.
They will do whatever they are asked to do. , also has a good personality, but he eats too much.
Usually when he sees the officials, he bends down and lowers his head.
If he yells at them loudly, they will be so scared that they will kneel on the ground and tremble.
Even if they stab them with a knife, They didn't resist.
Why did they suddenly change their temper today?
They all became brave and brave."
Gao Chongwen, the commander of the second army of the assassination army, also said: "Yes, I have also observed these black slaves for several days.
Usually these black slaves are honest and kind, but they are too black.
Today they have become so fearless of life and death.
How damn.
Mom is evil" The other generals also looked surprised and curious.
This phenomenon was completely inconsistent with common sense.
Zhao Ziliang guessed the reason.
He smiled and said: "These black people originally lived in the south of the desert.
Starting from thousands of years ago, after the Roman Empire captured North Africa, they began to capture black people from the south of the desert as slaves.
North Africa was cannibalized.
After the occupation, the slave traders among the cannibals instigated struggles among the black tribes. and hatred, causing them to kill and attack each other, and the slave traders bought the slaves from the black tribal wars, and then sold them to Western merchants or Eastern Persian merchants, and even sold the black slaves to the Tang Dynasty.
Those who have been enslaved since their homeland have always been slaves, just like you If you have been locked up in prison for a long time, how much do you long for freedom?
If you know that you can be released from prison, your mood will be the same as the mood of these black slaves when they learn that they can regain their freedom.
There is no hope at all.
In a free environment, these black slaves can only work honestly for their masters , when they learn that there is hope for freedom, no matter how slim the hope is, they will desperately seize it, not to mention that Gu not only promised to give them freedom, but also distributed their fields and property to them.
They joined Gu's army as free men and enjoyed the same treatment as the soldiers of the Western Qin Army."
"If you don't break out in silence, you will perish in silence."
Zhao Ziliang sighed, looking at the brutal fighting up and down the city wall, a picture appeared in his telescope.
It was a tall and strong black slave, holding a machete in his hand.
Every swing of the knife would take away a life.
Even though he had many wounds on his body, he still did not stop fighting.
Zhao Ziliang immediately said: "What is the name of that strong black slave?
After this wave of siege battles is over, if he is not dead, please bring him to see the orphan."
Chen Qing agreed: "Yes" Although black people have shown a side that is not afraid of death, they are not a nation that is good at fighting.
Without any training, they do not know how to cooperate, do not know tactics, and do not even know how to kill the enemy faster or even kill people.
Not very standard.
Zhao Ziliang put down the telescope and ordered: "After Cairo is captured this time, organize those black people who are willing to fight with us, send special personnel to train them, and train an army of black people to fight on our behalf."
"Yes, Your Majesty" The physical fitness of black people is very strong in both explosive power and endurance, even stronger than that of white people.
Most of them are tall.
As long as they are fed and trained, Zhao Ziliang believes that if the trained black people can form an army, The combat effectiveness of this army must be extraordinary.
Under the leadership of the prisoner army soldiers, the black slaves broke out.
They rushed to the city wall with no regard for their own safety and death.

Wave after wave of attacks almost caused the defense of the food army on the city wall to collapse.
Although they suffered casualties, Extremely tragic, but these casualties It did not frighten them, and their performance made the food army guarding the city feel timid.
If Harlan and Thomas hadn't promptly mobilized troops from the reserve forces under the city to take over and went up to the city wall to participate in the defense, the city wall would have been destroyed.
Overrun by black people.
The battle lasted for about four hours.
The Western Qin army's offensives continued one after another without stopping.
The shouts and roars never stopped.
The corpses were piled up and down the city wall, and there were arrows thrust everywhere. , spears and swords, the flag on the flagpole was burning, and holes appeared one by one.
Many of the siege ladders set up on the city wall and the well fences some distance away from the city wall were burning with fire.
The prisoner soldiers and slave soldiers on them were shot or fell to death and injured, but in other sieges, fires were burning.
There were countless prisoner soldiers and slave soldiers on the ladders and manhole rails still bravely climbing towards the city wall, and the arrows shot from the manhole railings never stopped.
Zhao Ziliang observed for a while and then ordered: "After fighting for four hours, the soldiers' physical strength has been exhausted and their morale has dropped.
If we continue to fight, it will only increase casualties.
Send the order to withdraw the troops.
That's it for today."
"Yes, Your Majesty," Chen Qing agreed and gestured to the herald next to him to withdraw his troops.
There was a rapid sound of gongs and golden gongs.
The Western Qin prisoner army and the black slave soldiers retreated slowly and orderly from the Sinai Peninsula to the Cairo city.
The siege battle between the prisoner army and the assassin army was now being fought in a orderly manner.
There was no panic when withdrawing the troops.
Watching the Western Qin retreat, Harlan and Thomas on the city wall couldn't help but raise their hands and wipe the blood from their faces.
This battle has been going on for a full day from the morning until now.
The offensive of the Western Qin army is as follows.
The tide seemed to never stop.
Not only them, but everyone on the city wall had no time to rest or eat.
There was barely an inch of open space under their feet, and their feet were filled with blood.
The faces of Harlan and Thomas both showed fatigue, especially Thomas, who had just recovered from a serious illness.
In such a high-intensity battle, although he did not kill the enemy personally, he was still pale from exhaustion, waiting for the Western Qin prisoner army and the black army to fight.
As soon as the slave army withdrew, they sat on the corpse, propped up their bodies with their swords, and gasped for air regardless of their appearance.
Harun sat next to him and said: "The Western Qin people are really crazy.
They were so desperate on the first day.
I'm afraid it will be more difficult to defend the city in the next few days.
Their offensive will be more fierce.
General Thomas, it seems we are going to Readjust the troop allocation and deployment.
The interval between each reinforcement should be shortened and the troop deployment should be increased.
If they attack again like they did today, I'm afraid we won't be able to stop them for long."
Thomas nodded.
Although he was very tired, his mind had no rest.
"Let's not talk about those black slaves.
Let's just talk about these Western Qin soldiers.
These Western Qin soldiers are much more powerful than the Western Qin soldiers I have seen. gap, but these Western Qin soldiers are obviously more flexible and cunning than the previous Western Qin soldiers.
In the past, the Western Qin soldiers were more like cold-blooded murderers.
Even if they died in battle, they would not take a step back or dodge, but would fight hard.
But these Western Qin soldiers are even more ferocious.
They are very cunning and clever, and they know how to evade.

Killing moves and combat moves are not rigidly formal, which makes them scarier in my opinion.”
Thomas would not be surprised if he knew that this group of Western Qin soldiers were trained from prisoners, serious prisoners, and death row prisoners.
Because most prisoners are bold people, and many prisoners are delicate, cunning, and cunning people, otherwise they would not be caught breaking the law.
The Western Qin Army returned to the camp.
All the surviving soldiers who participated in today's siege were gathered in the open space of the camp.
Not only the prisoner army and the assassin army, but also all the surviving black slave soldiers were arranged together.
Forming a square formation, under the orders of the officers, they all sat cross-legged on the ground and waited for the cooks to distribute food.
On the high platform in front, Zhao Ziliang walked back and forth slowly holding the handle of the sword, the armor leaves on his armor rustling as he rubbed it.
Some generals and officials stood behind him.
Just below, the prisoner army, assassin army and black slave soldiers had finished eating.
Lord Bo Dugu Wensu came over with a stack of battle merit books and cupped his hands: "Your Majesty, the battle merits of the soldiers in today's battle have been calculated.
Since Each team has a dedicated person to record military exploits, so even if there are any discrepancies, they should be minimal.
If the soldiers have any doubts, they should be able to verify them quickly."
Zhao Ziliang nodded and asked directly, "Is there any soldier who can be rated as a warrior?"
Dugu Wensu replied: "There are two.
One is from the Khasar Protectorate of the Western Qin Dynasty.
His name is Zhang Huchen.
He is twenty-three years old, six feet eight inches tall and weighs two hundred and twenty two kilograms.
He is Han nationality.
Because He was caught and sentenced to death for murder.
The reason for the murder was that his unmarried wife was tainted by an official's son and hanged herself.
In anger, he killed the official's son and his subordinates.
Thirteen servants fled into the mountains and forests after killing people.
The local government dispatched police officers and thousands of local garrison soldiers armed with strong bows and crossbows to encircle and suppress them.
More than 60 people were lost before they were captured using traps.
During the siege today, Zhang Huchen was alone.
Killed one hundred and eighty-eight enemies, and cooperated with his colleagues to kill fifty-four enemies.
He was wounded eleven times and refused to retreat even to the death."
"The other is a black slave named Bart.
He is six feet seven inches tall and weighs two hundred and thirteen pounds.
He is a Mandingo tribesman south of the Sahara Desert in Africa.
He is twenty-five years old this year and was hunting in the village seven years ago.
He was kidnapped by the cannibal cavalry and became a slave to this day.
