Chapter 860: The Siege of the Ancient Castle

After pacifying the Seljuk cavalry in the eastern Persian province, Tang Zhangwei and Bai Cunxiao immediately sent troops to exterminate the Seljuk cavalry in the western Persian province and the province of Asia Minor.

The Seljuk cavalry in the West Persian province was somewhat different from the Seljuk cavalry in the East Persian province.

The Seljuk cavalry in that province of Asia Minor was different.

In these places, there are tribes of the Seljuks, they are usually the common people, and when it comes to war, they are hideous enemies, and if you want to destroy the enemy, you must kill the entire tribe.

As a last resort, Tang Zhangwei didn't want to use such cruel methods.

If you kill too many people, you won't have a good reputation after all.

In order to track down the enemy, Tang Zhangwei often risked his life.

This time, they chased the Seljuk cavalry and entered an ancient castle. In fact, that spy under Yang Ji'er helped Ren Baobao get a lot of weapons.

It's just that these weapons still look new on the surface, or they are old goods that have been eliminated by the regular army.

But these things are still very intimidating when you hold them in your hands.

These weapons, those Seljuks looked at them and said yes.

Because these weapons have really seen blood, these weapons are comfortable for those Seljuks to hold in their hands.

These Seljuks, they learned the tactics of the local officers and soldiers of the Tang Dynasty, and they learned very quickly.

When these people couldn't meet their requirements, they took the initiative to contact Ren Baobao, the chief administrator of Tang Zhaozong.

The Seljuk cavalry generals, they were still very humorous.

Of course, these people also have a nomadic nature, that is, they eat horse meat sausages and drink milk wine together.

Tang Zhangwei's spies were like this, and they obtained a lot of information, but they had no way to wipe out all the Seljuk cavalry in that West Persian province.

However, they didn't necessarily have to use swords and guns to deal with those Seljuk cavalry, they had more ingenious methods.

That was to do business with those Seljuks, when Tang Zhangwei sold some parallel broadswords, and some weapons with poor shooting accuracy to those Seljuk cavalry.

The leader of the Seljuk cavalry, Hai Wei, looked at the weapons sent by Tang Zhangwei and them, and he tried the knife with a donkey carrying goods.

Unexpectedly, when the knife went down, the donkey did not die, and when the knife went down again, the knife actually broke.

As a result, the majestic sea that went south and north changed its face.

Hai Wei waved his hand, and those Seljuk cavalry rushed towards Tang Zhangwei and them.

It's just that to Hai Wei's frustration, although the dealer who smuggles weapons heard their intimidation, these people are not afraid, and they rush to their side.

These people are not afraid of them at all, and Hai Wei's man is very cunning.

They have never been a good person, these Seljuk cavalry can turn danger many times under the encirclement and suppression of the Tang cavalry, mainly because they have a good leader.

This is a leading figure from the Tang Dynasty, and he is very cunning.

Whether it was charging or escaping, those Seljuk cavalry did not take advantage of anything.

Seeing the Seljuk cavalry hiding in the ancient castle, Tang Zhangwei let out a sneer.

Tang Zhangwei persuaded the Seljuk cavalry hiding in the castle to surrender, but the Seljuk cavalry leader Hai Wei pretended not to understand.

Tang Zhangwei's number of men and horses was only half of those Seljuk cavalry, and the reason why they were able to drive these cavalrymen around was to run around.

Mainly because their weapons are better and their soldiers are more elite.

However, the Seljuk cavalry leader, Hai Wei, was not convinced.

The number of cavalry under Hai Wei's command was no more than two thousand, but they were well trained.

However, Tang Zhangwei's 900 cavalry besieged these 2,000 cavalry.

Hai Wei'a knew that there were many elites in his army, but he felt that it was difficult to control people's thinking and obedience. However, he plotted against such a psychological master.

A person like Hai Wei'e is not a helpless character, he is very sinister and vicious.

This group of Seljuk cavalry had thirty similar cavalry teams around them.

Moreover, the most powerful Seljuk cavalry gang was the three thousand Jian'er led by his son Ma Zahei, although these thirty Seljuk tribes were hungry wolves in winter, but they did not disguise themselves and did not take the initiative to attack the powerful Tang army and caravans.

This time, it was the Sultan of Seljuk who went crazy, and they began to fight against the Tang army.

I didn't expect them to suffer losses as soon as they fought, but their thirty tribes have always shared difficulties and blessings.

However, when Hai Wei'er was besieged, his allies immediately drew 30,000 troops to besiege Tang Zhangwei.

In fact, these people don't all want to fight Tang Zhangwei to the death. They just felt that if they watched that sea be wiped out, they would die with a chill on their lips.

Therefore, these 30,000 troops, under the leadership of that Ma Zahei, came together to rescue Hai Wei.

When they saw that there were only more than 900 Tang troops attacking the towering sea, their 30,000 Seljuk army immediately began to besiege Tang Zhangwei.

Tang Zhangwei immediately sent iron cavalry and spies to the Rus cavalry army, and the Tang cavalry of the Tang Dynasty to ask for help.

At the same time, the carrier pigeon was also released.

At this time, that Catherine received a letter, and she understood that Tang Zhangwei was under siege.

Catherine immediately led the army to rescue Tang Zhangwei, although Tang Zhangwei and Tang Zhaozong were wrong, but Empress He has never advocated weakening Tang Zhangwei's military power.

Empress He also had her own intelligence unit, so when she learned the news that Tang Zhangwei was besieged, she immediately sent a cavalry team of fifty people.

This team was sent by Empress He, and the reason why Empress He acted like this. It's all because

Empress He understood that with their strength now, there was no way to move that Tang Zhangwei, if they let Tang Zhangwei be defeated by those Seljuks.

Then after the Seljuks become strong, Tang Zhaozong may not even be able to save his life.

Empress He knew that if they didn't take action, Tang Zhangwei would be in danger.

When Tang Zhangwei and Bai Cunxiao attacked the majestic sea, they were surrounded instead.

However, Tang Zhangwei refused to give in, and his soldiers also put up a desperate resistance to the siege of the Seljuk army.

Of course, this is the backbone of Tang Zhangwei's soldiers and horses.

That Catherine sent six thousand hussars, each armed with three war horses.

With the help of these three horses, Catherine's six thousand light cavalry marched day and night to the castle.
