Chapter 1160: The Faithful Servant

Rushing towards the Tang Dynasty foot soldiers was the most unwise decision Hasim considered himself to have made, and after a few loud bangs, he found that the people around him had turned on their backs, their limbs and arms broken, and their flesh and blood flying everywhere. It all happened so suddenly that it didn't even take time to figure out what was going on.

The only thing that could be seen or smelled was the layers of white smoke rising from the battlefield, and a burning stench filled the nostrils. Years later, the smell is still what Hashim calls death.

However, this was only the beginning of the nightmare, as the men of the forward cavalry flipped on their backs, and the subsequent cavalry passed over one after another, only to be knocked down by another loud noise, and they repeated the tragedy of their companions and fell off their horses.

Frightened, Hasim finally realized how stupid it was to challenge this * foot soldier, and he shouted desperately:

"Retreat, retreat quickly, don't rush forward......"

It's a pity that his heralds have died in the disaster caused by the first loud noise, and without the transmission of the command flag, the military orders can only be spread in a small area, but the vast majority of people are still carrying out the orders to attack the Tang Dynasty's military array.

The tragedy can be imagined, in less than a quarter of an hour, more than 1,000 people have died in the rebellion, and half of them died under the trampling of their own cavalry.

Jiang Fengxiang calmly issued orders one after another in accordance with the infantry drill code, the firearms of the new army were like human meat harvesters, and only three rounds of artillery salvos crushed the dense cavalry impact of the big cannibals.

Thanks to the Great Eclipse cavalry's vain attempt to overwhelm them in a dense formation, the artillery was able to fire scattered shells in the shortest possible time, inflicting massive damage on them.

However, the artillery could not completely stop the cavalry charge, and after the fourth volley, the artillery battalion began to withdraw from the front of the battle formation, and the pikemen and sword soldiers showed their weapons and quietly waited to harvest the cavalry that survived.

Finally, the two sides collided together, and the Great Eater Cavalry, which had lost its sharpness, was like a flat cloth, shattering into thousands of strips in an instant.

The crushing defeat was already doomed at the first moment when the attack was decided, and Yusuf, who was watching the battle from a distance, looked so pale that even he didn't know how the Tang Dynasty army had defeated the Great Cannibal warriors in what strange way.

However, there is another fact that Yusuf has to admit, he lost today's battle, and there is no suspense about defeat. If we don't make a decision sooner, I am afraid that the losses today will be even greater.

"Order, withdraw the troops!"

The first to withdraw were the Great Eclipse Foot Soldiers located between the mouth of the Zhangye River and the Ruoshui River, and those who were the main forces of this Eastern Crusade must not suffer unbearable losses because of the negligence of this battle.

Next is the elite cavalry led by him, and before figuring out what secret weapon Tang Bing has, he should not rush forward rashly.

Then, all that could be used on the battlefield was the cavalry that Hasim had just rebuilt.

As a descendant of the Persian aristocracy, most of Hasim's subordinates were Persians, so even if they were all sacrificed, Yusuf would not hesitate or even blink an eye.

Unfortunately, the battlefield was quickly covered in thick white smoke, and it was impossible to see what was happening.

"Tell Hasim to rush forward at all costs, how many people will die, and I will make up for him after this battle......"

After the herald found Hasim with Yusuf's military order, Hasim jumped like thunder, which obviously made him a ghost to send him to death, the Tang Dynasty people didn't know what kind of unpredictable weapons they had gotten, and now they rushed up to find death.

At this moment, the thought of surrender once again rose in Hasim's heart, since Yusuf did not treat himself as a person, it was better to find a company that regarded him as a human being.

While scolding Yusuf over and over again in his heart, Hasim seemed to have completely forgotten that just half a day ago, he had sworn that he would be the most faithful servant to others.

"Tell Yusuf to let him die!"

Hasim did not hesitate and killed the herald who conveyed the order with one sword.

Then he swung his bloody scimitar and looked around at the people gathered around him. They had all just escaped from the feet of death, and they were still in shock.

"Yusuf asked you to fight those devils, will you go?"

"No, no!"

"The Abbasid family doesn't treat us Persian warriors as human beings, what should we do?"

Hasim's cronies soon understood his intentions, and by killing Yusuf's heralds, it proved that there was no turning back.

"Vote for the Tang Dynasty, vote for the Tang Dynasty!"

The shouts quickly covered up the hustle and bustle of the battlefield, and at this time, Jiang Fengxiang had quickly moved from the smoke of gunpowder to a nameless highland, he looked at the Great Eclipse Cavalry who had just experienced a crushing defeat, as if they had recovered their morale in an instant, but he couldn't understand what they were roaring hoarsely.

"Go, find an interpreter and listen to what they're shouting......"

"Report, the Great Cannibal sent a messenger and said that he planned to surrender!"

"Surrender?"

Jiang Fengxiang was taken aback, and looked at the Tanma soldiers with some suspicion, but immediately said:

"Bring their messengers!"

At this time, the army arrays displayed on the north bank of the Zhangye River and Ruoshui have gradually retreated in an orderly manner, and before the main army arrives, it is still not appropriate for them to fight a decisive battle with the big cannibals without authorization.

The reason why they were able to scare off the big cannibals with superior forces was all due to the power of the artillery and the suddenness of the attack.

Jiang Fengxiang will never fight this kind of loss-making battle!

And the fact that the Great Cannibal was going to surrender in the first battle seemed to him to be a complete ruse.

However, he didn't want to attack for the time being, so he just wanted to see what the hell this big cannibal who came into contact with him was doing.

Hasim looked at the Tang generals in front of him, they were all the same as the Tang people in his impression, with yellow skin and small eyes that were almost narrowed into a line.

Hasim was very bold, and after deciding to surrender to the Tang Dynasty, he actually acted as a negotiator himself, and since he could not gain Yusuf's trust, then he would rather become Yusuf's nightmarish enemy.

"Venerable General, Hasim is willing to be your most faithful servant!"

If it weren't for Jiang Fengxiang riding on a horse, Hasim would have been eager to prostrate at his feet to kiss the surface of his feet to show his sincerity.

When the interpreter translated Hasim's words to Jiang Fengxiang, Jiang Fengxiang's face instantly showed obvious suspicion.
