Malkir had resisted Timur's invasion just before he had resisted, and he was so weak in the face of the mighty steppe cavalry, but the suicide attacks of his parishioners still made it difficult for the occupiers to sleep.

Later, there was a long exchange between Malkir and Helian Desire, and then all the steppe armies and their immigrants and nobles in Helian Desire Sea abandoned Buddhism and turned to serve God on the condition that the two sides reached a mutual understanding and established a theocratic green state.

Malkir quickly colluded with Helian to carry out a bloody massacre of other sects in the original religion, and used more than ten years to wipe out half of the population of the Pamirs, and the fundamentalist sects cleared this land of more than 5 million square kilometers, so that there is now only one voice in this land.

Seeing that Yan Lie personally greeted him, he jumped off his horse and said with a smile: "General Yan Yan, come to disturb again, may Allah bless you." ”

Wan Yan Lie bowed and saluted: "The big imam came in person, Wan Yan Lie has lost sight, please forgive the sin, the big imam is please." ”

Since three years ago, Malkiel had invited a Xiucai from Daxia to teach him to learn Chinese, and now although he speaks with a strong accent, there is no problem in communicating.

In the reception room, Malkiel said straight to the point: "General Wanyan, the general has now brought a large amount of timber from the east and built a large number of trebuchets, can you give me a batch of trebuchets to some of God's children?" Our troops will be the main force attacking the cities of the country established by the infidels, and your cavalry is not suitable for city warfare, so it is more reasonable to leave the field battles to you. ”

Wan Yanlie couldn't help but smile and asked, "Lord A-Imam should have told the Great Khan, right?" ”

"Yes, I heard from the Great Khan that these trebuchets were brought by the general from the east, and the Great Khan asked me to come to you."

Wan Yanlie said with a smile: "Now that my Dayan is not only going to capture Baghdad, but also Istanbul and Western countries, this trebuchet will only be too little, not too much." My Great Yan army is here now, and the trebuchets can only give you a small part, and when my Great Yan soldiers withdraw, these trebuchets will naturally not all be transported back. ”

Only then did Malkiel come to his senses, and said with a smile: "I see, ...... so."

In Great Bactria, trebuchets are now being replaced by newer types of artillery. Not only can artillery hit farther than trebuchets, but it is also not much less lethal.

But in this place, because there is fire oil everywhere, the power of fire oil bombs is stronger than that of artillery, but the distance is a little closer.

Now that Malkiel is here, Wan Yanlie also asked about the progress of the craftsmen he organized to process the fire oil bomb.

The invention of the trebuchet is more than a thousand years old, but in the East, almost all of it is stone-throwing.

The manufacture of fire oil bombs is not as simple as hollowing out a stone with a stonemason.

The size of the opening of the fire oil bomb is related to how long it can burn and how powerful it is.

The Yan Empire had no experience in this area and relied mainly on Arab craftsmen to make it.

Being able to get a batch of trebuchets for nothing, Malkiel was quite happy. There are steppes and water sources in this part of Persia, but there is a lack of trees.

Regardless of whether the trees from the north or the south are transported here, it will become a sky-high price. Therefore, most of the trebuchets here are built with timber brought from India and Xinjiang.

The time entered the end of November, and after a long march of more than a month, Murong Xuzhong arrived in Broken Leaf City with 30,000 Yan State iron cavalry and 200,000 servant troops of various clans, a total of 230,000 troops.

This small city, located in the northwest of Issyk-Kul Lake and by the Chu River, became the forward position of the Yan army.

Here they will wait for the weather to warm up before marching northwest to Istanbul, the Eurasian bridgehead.

On the southern front, after annexing small states such as Tibet, Baisha, and Nava, the Western Route Army also entered the western border of the Chahar Khanate.

The Iranian plateau of this era is not as barren as it was a few hundred years later. It's like the Mongolian Plateau, with large grasslands and small rivers.

It is precisely because of this unique environment that a strong country can be born.

If there were no such conditions, Helian Xuhai would not have thought of moving the capital to Tehran at all.

However, the semi-nomadic, semi-sedentary Persian tribes did not have fortified cities.

Therefore, half of the tribes on the plateau who believe in the gentle green religion have either been slaughtered or robbed of a large number of horses and sheep by the Yan Iron Cavalry, or they have moved west or north, leaving behind an empty grassland. Even tribes who are reluctant to move north,

Because of the unimpeded journey, they had planned a three-month trip, but it only took two months for them to arrive.

And Colmanshal, on the other hand, is not only the gateway to western Persia, but also a famous transportation hub on the Persian plateau.

It is only 300 miles from Baghdad, the capital of Abbasid.

Before the arrival of Helian Huhai's infantry, the cavalry who had arrived early had already chosen a place for the army to be stationed in a small town called Rizhen outside the city of Colemanshar.

There is a small river in the west of Rizhen, which is also the border between the two countries, and it is also the largest agricultural base in the region, where a large number of crops are grown.

Because there is a river, plus the mountains next to it, it has the necessary conditions for a garrison.

And when Helian Xianghai arrived, and the war was about to break out, in the tent of the commander of the Western Road, the voice of words continued to come out.

“…… A golden prophet, a gold leaf handwritten "Quran" ......"

As he spoke, a large number of treasures were carried into the king's tent, and as the deputy envoy read out the gift entries, Ali secretly observed the surroundings, as well as the Chahar Khan above.

As a new force that suddenly rose to replace Persia, the steppe people were not nobles with profound backgrounds, but nouveau riche who suddenly gained heavy treasures.

However, the marching tent, which is the command center of the battlefield, does not even show the shadow of the nouveau riche, but it still occupies a huge area, and can be used by two hundred people to discuss military discussions here at the same time.

Ali also knew in his heart that it was not the shape of the place that really determined the place, but the people who were there. Whether in a thatched hut or a yurt, the people gathered around the man in front of him are already existences that the whole world does not dare to insult.

On the handsome seat, Helian Yuhai was looking at these same treasures that were brought in with great interest.

As the de facto emperor of Persia, Helian Desire is a little less temperamental than his brother Helian Muye at first glance, and his size is actually larger than Helian Muye.

It is said that he is born with divine power and can fight with his bare hands.

Before Xianbei had an incident, the grassland Da Dan Yu Qifu Storm Khan once convened a gathering of Xianbei chieftains, and asked the chiefs to dance to cheer up their wine banquet, Helian Kuo refused, Da Shan Yu Qifu Storm Khan wanted to kill him, that is, Helian Xuhai came out as an entourage to perform his own tricks, and captured the bear and bound the tiger empty-handed, amused Da Shan Yu, and saved Helian Kuo from death.

But also because of this. Follow Aguta's side. and loyal big guys, this kind of person seems to be a little honest and stupid.

But when his brother Helian Kuo was still in his heyday, he could see the crisis faced by the Yan Kingdom, pursue the advantages and avoid the disadvantages, led his troops to the Western Regions, avoided the brothers' fighting, and created such a vast world, which was much more brainy than his brother Helian chasing mountains, and I don't know if this is a blessing or a curse for Abbas.

As an envoy of King Abbas, Ali himself was a long-sleeved dancer who was also good at looking at faces and people. In the process of dealing with these martial artists and reckless men, he also knew that these people had some advantages, that is, they received money, which basically meant that they could do things.

Coming over today, looking at the satisfied smiling face of the Persian emperor above, he felt that this time the matter should have a good result.

Sending various gifts, and then officially handing over the letters of various treaties praying for peace, Helian Yuhai accepted it, just glanced at it, put it aside, and walked out of his seat.

As soon as he stood up, Ali felt the oppression in front of his huge body, and the Persian Khan, dressed in mink brocade and fur, like a giant bear, came to this side, reached out to touch the tribute of gold, silver and jewelry, and then picked it up and played with it for a while: "Good thing." He whispered, and when he saw some of the bacon used for tribute and the good wine sealed in the porcelain bottle in the gift, he couldn't help but play with it, leaning down to smell it: "It's really a good thing......

"When we entered the palace of the Persian king." He turned back to Ali and said, "The king is dead, but the prince ran ahead of time, taking a lot of things with him, and some good things that he broke along the way, and some good things did not stay. Of course, it was the first group of boys to go in, they didn't understand it at all, and after the fight, they set fire everywhere......"

He is more than fifty years old, but the emperor who is terrible but also has a simple face is like saying "I feel sorry for me", after he said this, he looked around the pile of gifts again, and then waved to a group of generals: "Go out, go out, you go back." ”

The generals began to retreat, and Ali frowned: "Great Khan, what ...... That promise......"

"It's settled." Wu Qimai stood up from the treasure, walked towards Ali, and then directly reached over, put his arm around his shoulder, and said in his thick voice, "Don't think about it. Come, come with me, and I will show you something. ”

Helian wanted to be a head and a half taller than him, stretched out his hand and patted him on the back, he couldn't help but take a step forward, at this time the other party had already begun to walk towards the outside of the tent, Ali followed, a few white clouds drifted in the autumn sky, the sun had risen, bringing a slight warmth. The Great Khan got into his carriage and had him brought with him: "Ali messenger, you sit with me." ”

Ali excused himself, and finally went up, he leaned on the side of the carriage, and only sat on the bench with half of his buttocks, but Helian Xuhai pulled him and asked him to sit firmly: "The road is bumpy, if you don't sit firmly, you will fall." ”

The Great Khan sat on the side of the carriage, his hands on his laps, smiling, like a giant bear sitting there.

I don't know why, Ali's heart is a little panicked. In a moment, as the carriage moved forward, Helian wanted to open his mouth.

"Ali messenger, brother and I. Many years ago, I was fascinated by Sinology. We know that there is the Xia Dynasty in the south, which is prosperous and rich, and everyone is ...... You can learn and be educated, but you are the kingdom of heaven, Ali envoy, do you understand? ”

Ali bowed his hand respectfully: "...... Understood, Great Khan. ”

"It's like the stuff you brought today. It's all good stuff. ”

Helian wanted to wave his hand, interrupting what he was about to say at length.

"You don't understand! Why do we grassland people have to endure hardships, and they have endless glory and wealth, my brother is angry, leading us to fight and rob.

Of course they have problems, and you always like to get some ...... Curves that we don't understand. They can't beat us, but we don't have any food and grass for the army, and it used to be that our older generation could fight hungry, but now it can't, and the little cubs like to have fun.

What's the use of the people of Bactria getting that? Can't figure it out. Useless ......"
