Sorry, it's driving me nuts, it's pronounced "TONG," as in salad tongs, not "TANGE," like the orange drink!
Wait a Korean General in service of the Tang? I though the koreans were fighting the tang during all this events?

I am waiting for Hannibals Second Punic War chapter 11 and above…hope to see it soon, because Hannibals battles are interesting
You sound so British, but i guess you are Irish, i dont know

This is one of the most influential battles in history. After this battle turkic tribes converted to Islam, which lead to the rise of the Seljuk Turks and Ottomans centuries later. This battle is so underrated!
Well done as usual the only ones who put up great things on youtube are HistoryMarche and Epic History Tv and even you guys collabrated with them in their flagship series of Napoleonic wars.
