Chapter 3: The Mighty Man (Part 5)

One of the most warlike warriors in the Great Food Army died today under this hammer. Therefore, the defeated soldiers were extremely impressed by the Tang generals who were chasing after him with a hammer. Considering that he was not an opponent, he shouted, got on the horse and fled, not seeking to outrun the Tang soldiers and generals, but only to escape half a step faster than his own robe.

The number of people chasing after is limited, and they have never thought of swallowing all the routs in one gulp. Just followed behind hastily for a while, intercepted the slowest hundreds of people, and stopped again to digest the results of the battle.

Among the hundreds of defeated soldiers who were intercepted by **, the tribal servant army temporarily recruited by the big cannibals accounted for more than half. Seeing that the retreat was broken, he immediately jumped off his mount and raised his hands in surrender. The jihadist volunteers who had been so proud to spread the Celestial Sect's butcher's knife to the East were affected, and they could no longer muster the courage to prove their loyalty to Allah, so they dismounted and fell to their knees to be slaughtered. Only a handful of jihadist quacks and a few hammamu in the ranks, knowing that people like themselves might not be forgiven even if they surrendered, gathered together to try to resist to the end. How could their remnants of the defeated army be the opponent of Anxi's new force? was rushed by Wang Xun with his descendants, and they fell to the ground like frost-beaten dates.

"Kill the thief!" Seeing this, Xue Jingxian, who had been eager to try beside him, quickly jumped off his war horse and led his entourage to step forward on foot. Hold down the enemy soldier who has been knocked off his mount and slash at the neck with his sword. In the blink of an eye, the bloody heads were cut off.

According to the statistical method of great ** work. If you behead the third level in battle, you will turn around. If you turn three times in a row, you will be promoted to the first level. If the general of the enemy army is killed, the reward will be converted according to the military rank of the deceased during his lifetime. Although this batch of severed heads is supposed to give Wang Xun and his subordinates a large share, Xue Jingxian and his entourage can only get a small part of them. But there are not enough of them, and today's battle for the dead and chasing the north is far from over. Just get a little oil and water from every battle, and accumulate it again and again, it is enough for Xue Jingxian and his entourage to each be promoted to one or two levels.

guessed the other party's thoughts, Wang Xun did not stop him. He only ordered his brothers to dismount and regain their strength, and at the same time carefully guarded the side, in case any of the fallen enemy soldiers were not seriously wounded enough, and pulled the back of Lord Qincha before he died. As for the swordsmen under Xue Jingxian's command, they killed and secretly cut off the heads of several surrenderers, but they completely pretended not to see it.

There is a way, what will bring what soldiers. Xue Jingxian himself likes to take advantage of everywhere, and the entourage he brings with him is also cunning and cunning. Seeing that Wang Xun didn't care much about the life and death of the captives, he immediately greeted each other with his eyes, and quickly pounced on several of the most beautifully armored guys among the captured volunteers.

"Surrender, surrender!" The first target to be targeted screamed, and his hands and feet shrank into the captive pile. The two swordsmen dragged him out of the crowd like a sheep. A slash of the blade into the throat killed him instantly.

The other captive who was targeted was a Tianzhu man with a devout faith. Seeing several swordsmen with meaty faces rushing towards him, he screamed a few times, bowing his head and chanting. The swordsman didn't care what he was saying, dragged out of the crowd, and stabbed the account.

When the Great Food Army conquered the countries of the Western Regions, it also had the habit of slaughtering captives after victory. Since the captives dismounted and surrendered, it was equivalent to accepting their fate. Even if the person who was dragged away was hiding beside him, he closed his eyes and did not dare to make any resistance. However, Wei Feng, the junior colonel beside Wang Xun, was soft-hearted, and seeing the deferential attitude of the captives, he immediately stepped forward and prayed to Xue Jingxian with a smiling face: "Lord Qincha spare their lives." They were all raised by their parents, and if they are all killed, I am afraid it will be against the peace of heaven! ”

For all the brothers under Wang Xun's command, Xue Jingxian did not want to offend. He smiled wryly and explained in a casual manner, "Aren't I afraid that they will be connected in tandem to make some demon moths?!" That's why the brothers were allowed to be ruthless. Killing generals and retaining troops also happens to be in line with the ancient practice of dealing with surrendered troops. ”

Before Wei Feng came to Anxi, he was a big farmer, how could he argue with Xue Jingxian, a scholar who was born in a serious imperial examination. After thinking about it, he felt that what Lord-sama said was reasonable, so he turned his head to the side, out of sight.

In just a few moments, several more generals of the Eastern Crusade Holy War Army in luxurious armor were dragged out and beheaded. The plate armor on his body was also used as a trophy by the swordsmen, and he was stripped off and hung behind the captured horses. Everyone still felt that the head was not enough, and turned their eyes to the servant army that had taken the lead in begging for surrender first, hoping to find some big fish from it.

The armor of all the servants and generals is self-prepared, and who has a high position and who is rich is more distinct than the big cannibals wearing uniform armor. Immediately, several richly dressed fellows had nothing to hide, and were dragged out of the captives one by one by the swordsmen.

"Just kill that. The rest are sent back to wait for Feng Dashuai to deal with it! "Lest Wang Xun be impatient, Xue Jingxian ordered loudly.

"Spare your life, spare your life, Master Tang!" As soon as the words fell, among the captives who were dragged out, a young man suddenly shouted in Tang Yan. The words are round, and they are actually standard Chang'an accents.

"Stop, don't kill him yet!" Xue Jingxian was taken aback, stepped forward quickly, and swung a knife on the neck of the begger. "How can you say Tang Yan? Where did you learn it? ”

"Small, small is not a big cannibal. The small ones are the merchants in Mulu City. When he followed his father to Chang'an to sell goods, he learned some Tang dialects. The little one was forced to join the army by the big cannibals, and he didn't come on his own initiative. The little self-confessed sin deserves death, please read it for our sake, and forgive me! The young captive kowtowed and begged for mercy as he quickly explained.

"Raise your head!" Xue Jingxian shouted the order.

"Little ones don't dare! The little one is ugly, I'm afraid of startling the Tang master! The young captive replied loudly and slowly looked up. With a high nose and deep eyes, it really has a Persian face.

"Are you really being carried?" Xue Jingxian thought about it and asked hesitantly. For the sake of the other party's fluent Tang dialect, he was ready to send a round of compassion.

"Lord Xue, let's kill him quickly. What is there to talk about with a small vendor! Wang Xun, who had been raising horsepower beside him, suddenly strode forward and discussed with Xue Jingxian with a smile.

"Yes!" Xue Jingxian paused, and immediately turned around and prepared to leave. At the moment when his eyes intersected with Wang Xun's gaze, he quickly squeezed his eyes at the other party, indicating that he had understood.

The young captive didn't know that there was fraud, so he was so frightened that he immediately rushed over, hugging Xue Jingxian's thigh with both hands, "Master Tang, Master Tang, my family is rich, my family is rich." You can redeem yourself, but redeem me! ”

Hearing this, all the swordsmen and their entourage couldn't help laughing, and gathered around one after another, seeing what kind of fun this person could have when he didn't choose to speak. Xue Jingxian was also amused, shrugged his shoulders, forced back a smile, and continued to say in a deep voice, "Are you crazy to be poor and poor?" Need your stinky money? It's just three or five hangings, and I still have to keep you for months! ”

"It's not three or five hangings, it's a lot, a lot!" The young captive continued to hug Xue Jingxian's calf tightly with one hand, and gestured back and forth with the other, "A lot, a lot of money." Master Tang, I can send someone to deliver a letter to my father right away. If you spare my life, he will surely repay you for your kindness! ”

"A merchant's reward, I'm not rare!" Xue Jingxian twitched his legs outward, his face full of disdain. "Hand in your head, and I'll be able to give at least a first-class credit. The official is promoted faster, and he has everything, so it's not good to take a few stinky money from your family?! ”

"It's not stinky money, it's stinky money. It's incense money, incense money! The young captive was afraid that Xue Jingxian would go away, hugging his thighs and pleading, "My father is not just a merchant. Still, it's still the tax manager of Mulu City. That is, it's your Tocao-sama of the Central Plains! ”

"Your father is more than just a little Tocao!" Xue Jingxian turned around with a sneer and pressed the tip of the knife against the other party's blood vessels, "To be honest, what the hell does your father do!" If you dare to run your tongue with your mouth full, I will directly release your blood! ”

He wasn't very handsome in the first place, and when he was ruthless, his face was full of viciousness. The young captive was so frightened that his soul was about to fly, his fingers grabbed the blade, and the blood was dripping down, "I said, I said, Master Tang, I don't dare anymore." My father is the governor of Mulu City, Sharp Sulun, the younger one is called Ballber, and the other Tang is named Su Shi! ”

"Su Shi, right?" Xue Jingxian squatted down and gently patted the other party's white and tender face with his hand, "What benefits can you give me besides money?" Speak up, or I won't have the patience to play with you anymore! ”

He wanted to call out to the other party, and ask for the details of the big cannibals in the vicinity, in case he encountered enemy reinforcements during the pursuit. Who would have thought that the little guy named Su Shi would be wrong. grabbed Xue Jingxian's outstretched palm and shouted loudly, "I, my father can help you." Let's take on the big cannibals! Before the Great Cannibals came, Mulu City was our family, and my father had a high prestige among the people! Don't believe it, don't believe it, you ask how many of them! ”

With that, he pointed his hand at the other captives who had been pulled out, and shouted in a strange language.

Those captives with quite luxurious armor already felt that there was no hope of survival, but they didn't expect that their young master and the Tang master could still talk. Immediately crawled over, pressed his hand to his chest, and at the same time, his mouth was screaming. At first glance, you can tell that it is a gambling curse. ，

"I don't count. Ask him for forgiveness. He's the master! Xue Jingxian stepped aside and smiled to draw everyone's attention to Wang Xun.

"The general spares his life, the general spares his life!" Su Shi immediately crawled towards Wang Xun with his entourage, his hands on the ground, his head like pounding garlic.

"How can you guarantee that your father can help us deal with the Great Cannibals!" Suddenly picked up a baby, Wang Xun was also a little moved. He frowned and continued to ask.

"I, I ....." The young captive named Su Shi looked around, convinced that there were no other captives around who understood Tang Yan, and responded in a low voice, "Don't hide it from the Tang people, my family was originally forced to surrender to the big cannibals. When my great-great-grandfather was alive, he was also an official of your Tang Dynasty. What is the history of thorns, yes, the history of Dong'an stabs. At that time, the entire Nami River was loyal to the Tang Dynasty and was called the Kangju Governor's Mansion! There are also people in my family who have done the long history of the Kangju Governor's Mansion and are responsible for promoting the education of the Tang Dynasty. (Note 1)

"No wonder this person can speak fluent Tang dialect!" Xue Jingxian smiled at Wang Xun and said in a low voice. Afraid that Wang Xun didn't know this history, he patiently introduced it to the other party, "At least it was two years before the general chapter, when our Tang territory went directly to the Amu Darya. It's a pity that it was lost then. And in China, because of the power of the Empress Wu, civil strife has continued to ......"

Hearing that he had a way to live, Su Shi immediately hit the snake with the stick, "I, my great-great-grandfather, also had to take refuge in the big cannibal because I didn't get timely support from Datang." Otherwise, the people of my family would not have been learning Tang Yan! ”

This may not be the truth, but the Su Lun family's intention to ride the wall between the two major forces of Dashi and Datang is undoubtedly exposed. Otherwise, his family would not have told the story of more than 90 years ago to his children and grandchildren. and also spent a lot of effort to teach Su Shi to learn the standard Chang'an language.

Thinking of this, Wang Xun looked at Xue Jingxian and quickly made a decision, "I decided to believe your words, but you need to take some practical action." Prove that you are truly surrendering! ”

"Sincerely, sincerely. If there is a little bit of hypocrisy, the sky will thunder! Su Shi knew that he had escaped, so he crawled over again and kissed Wang Xun's boots with his lips.

Wang Xun kicked this person away in disgust, and shouted in a low voice: "Who else are the cronies you brought from Mulu Prefecture?" Singled them all out. Carry these captives back to the camp for me. I will send twenty more brethren to assist you. If you dare to do anything wrong, they will just chop you into meat sauce! ”

This made Su Shi feel even more overjoyed, rolled on the spot, and quickly stood up, "Obey, obey!" The small ones are going to gather their subordinates. You, you, and a few of you, what are you still doing in a daze, Master Tang is going to give everyone a chance to make meritorious service and atone for their crimes! ”

"This guy!" Rao is face has been sharpened thick enough, and Xue Jingxian is also ashamed of himself. Shaking his head, he reminded Wang Xun in a low voice, "Twenty people escort the prisoners, is it enough?" Wouldn't it be ...... if they had bad intentions on the way?"

"There are still our people chasing the routs around, and no one can make a big wave. Besides, this Persian boy surnamed Su is afraid that he would like to have such an opportunity! After so many ups and downs, Wang Xun was no longer as confused as he was when he was in Chang'an City, smiled, and patiently explained to Xue Jingxian, "Here in the Western Regions, many small countries are in the twilight of Qin. A few years ago, General Gao lost the battle, and they surrendered to Da Shi in one go. Today, let's break the 120,000 cannibal coalition army here, after the news comes out, I'm afraid that the lords of many small countries will change their courts again! ”

"This guy is a blessing in disguise!" Xue Jingxian thought about it and instantly understood the mystery. If the Persian boy surnamed Su escapes halfway, once ** continues to advance westward, he will definitely be tied up by his family as a sinner and sent to ** to show his sincerity. If you have a relationship with the ** coach for the family, after you go back, this person's status will probably be looked at differently by his family!

Note 1: Samarkand. He once returned to the Tang Dynasty as a vassal. But it was later eaten away by the forces of the Heavenly Sect.
