Chapter 69: Masim's Resentment

At night, Loulan City does not allow people to move around freely, after all, this is wartime, and curfew is a very necessary thing. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

At sunrise, Tongzi came to the house of the chief.

The lieutenant used to be a scholar, but because he had some unclear relationship with the widowed niece and daughter-in-law, he was held accountable by the clan, so he had to go away to Hami and change his name to start over.

Such a person is already a good person among the Song people who came to Hami, so he is also willing to associate with the father and son of Tongban, who are also good people.

When the copper came, the chief had just come back from outside, and after eating a piece of scone with tea around the stove and warming up, he said, "Someone came to me yesterday to ask me if this city can be defended.

At that time, I didn't know the bottom of my heart, so I said two official words to perfunctory them.

If someone asks me today, I will definitely tell him with certainty, not to mention defending the city, we can even defeat the enemy outside. ”

Tongzi stood up happily and said, "Uncle Hua, have you gone up to the city wall?" ”

Uncle Hua nodded proudly and said: "Last night, our Hami warrior General Tie San went out of the city to attack the enemy army and destroyed the ice city outside the city.

Those barbarians have no ice city, what else will they use to attack the city? Dogs can freeze to death in the ice and snow outside, uncle, I went out and stood at the head of the city to freeze through a pillar of incense, even if those barbarians are frost-resistant, in the wilderness, they can't withstand such cold.

Don't worry, it's a matter of time before the enemy retreats, tell your father, it's serious to quickly carve out the word mold, the old man came to Hami embarrassed, he didn't bring a book, and if he didn't have a book, he would lose half of his life, and now, just wait for your printing shop to open. ”

Tongzi agreed without a word and left the chief's house.

If you don't want to be a people's husband, don't go, the reason why you want to find the chief to help defend the city is that you are worried that if the city is broken, where will you flee with your family?

Now the situation is very good, and it is naturally happy.

Tongzi was happy, but Musin was very unhappy.

The reason why he launched an attack in the winter was because there was a lot of solid ice to use, and without it, Loulan City would not have any possibility of attacking.

The Great Cannibal had trebuchets, which he learned from the Romans, and this was his only siege weapon.

It's a pity that the road from Yanqi to Loulan is far away, and most of the roads are desert areas, and the spring flooding of the Peacock River has created a lot of quicksand, and the huge catapults are not easy to carry.

In winter, the Peacock River freezes, and although it is a good avenue, it is a pity that the ice cannot bear the weight of catapults, so you can only bring some light medium-sized and small catapults.

Ice cubes are not good stones, they are too brittle and too light to hit the city walls to have a siege effect.

When he came to Loulan, he found that there were not many stones that could be used as throwing stones, and this mistake made Mu Xin very disappointed.

Seeing that the ice city is about to be built, the army can condescendingly attack Loulan City, so that the besieging army can successfully capture this city.

Now it's a bubble.

Although the ice in the sea of calamus was inexhaustible, he did not have the time and manpower to continue doing it.

Looking at the ruined ice city and the corpses everywhere, Mu Xin felt a sense of powerlessness from the bottom of his heart for the first time.

He found that he always underestimated his bad student.

He was no stranger to gunpowder, and the first explosion of Iron Heart Source in the Western Regions happened right under his nose.

At that time, Tie Xinyuan said that it was heavenly punishment! I actually believed it......

Thinking of these things, Mu Xin couldn't help but smile bitterly.

None of his two students was a fuel-efficient lamp.

Adan left Bosten Lake with Aisha and disappeared without a trace, and Musin always felt that it was not an auspicious sign.

Even Adam's mother, after the Seljuks had taken control of Baghdad, wrote from far and wide accusing Musin of not saving him from death.

A young corpse fell on the ice beside Musin, his eyes wide open, and the fear of death was truly frozen.

Musin tried to close the young soldier's eyes, and when his hand touched the soldier's face, he realized that no matter what he did, the soldier's eyes would not close.

The battlefield was so fierce that even the vultures, which liked to peck at corpses the most, did not dare to approach, and flapped their wings and flew into the distance.

"Those who know me say I'm worried, and those who don't know me say what I want!"

Musin let out a long sigh and finally gave up trying to help the young soldier close his eyes.

"Throw all the ice cubes here into Loulan City."

Musin turned to Aladdin and Ahura.

When he reached the tent by the sea of Calamus, he heard the sound of trebuchets firing in the distance, and the sound of ice falling on the walls.

Musin nodded in satisfaction, there will always be some people who can quietly obey God's will.

Mahim had been waiting for Musin for a long time, his two big toes had been frozen years ago, and finally cut off by Tie Xinyuan without mercy.

As a result, he now walks a little bumpy, and some people in the boring army already call him Bumpy Mahim.

This is definitely not a malicious title, but an honorific title, over the years, Mahim has helped countless Great Food Soldiers to send the gold and silver coins they have gotten home.

Because nothing has ever gone wrong, people call him the honest Mahim.

In five years, Mahim has gone from a small merchant like a wandering warrior to the leader of the largest caravan in the Western Regions, with 3,000 fierce warriors serving him under his command.

This has allowed him to live the good life he once dreamed of, and there is no shortage of gold, wine, and beauties of all races in his tent.

This made him very attached to this land that made him rich, and even if he died here of old age, he was willing.

There are only two things that are not very good, but he can't avoid them at all, and they can get around, that is, Tie Xinyuan and Mu Xin, the two big troubles.

If it were possible, Mahim would not have wanted to see Musin or Iron Heart at all.

Both of them have the ability to cut off his head at will, and they don't have to worry about any consequences.

Every time he fell to his knees at the feet of these two people, he always had the feeling of being a slave again.

There was no way to do this, Mu Xin and Tie Xinyuan were the two smartest and wisest people he had ever met, and there was absolutely no third.

He had fantasized about hiding under the wings of these two wise men, becoming a rich man, and living happily and peacefully.

This thought came to naught as the master and apprentice became enemies.

Before entering Musin's tent, Mahim let out a long sigh in his heart, Musin's plan for the ice city had failed, and hoped that Musin would not take his anger out on him.

"Did you find Adan and Aisha?" Musin's voice was full of exhaustion.

"My people found some clues in the city of Bai, where both Adan and Aisha had been, and then disappeared.

My king, he is deliberately avoiding us, and we cannot find a person who is deliberately avoiding us, unless you order to arrest him. ”

Mahim still knelt at Musin's feet, and after considering the words, he said carefully.

With a rough estimate of Adan and Aisha's itinerary in his mind, and with the lack of news from Zasu and Guldan, he roughly understood what was going on.

The only one who can make Adan abandon 20,000 troops is 100,000 troops, and the only one who can provide Adan with 100,000 troops is Boktu, in this case, Boktu Khan should fall into the hands of Adan.

"Mahim, Zasu and Gul'dan are dead, it was Adam who killed them, pass on my orders, from now on, Adam and Aisha are blasphemers!

Anyone has the right to execute them, and anyone can come to me with their heads to receive 100,000 gold coins! ”

After Musin finished speaking, he glanced at Mahim, who was kneeling at his feet, and added: "Including you, Mahim! ”

"Thank my king for giving me a chance to serve the gods, and I will arrange for men to hunt down Adan and Aisha......"

Musin didn't have time to listen to Mahim's babbling words of gratitude, and when the matter was explained, he let Mahim leave.

Having stepped out of the tent, Mahim came to the shore of the frozen calamus and muttered to himself, "Blasphemer? The elders were still so ruthless toward their students. ”

Mahim always felt that if a student betrayed the teacher, it was probably the student's fault, and if two smart students both betrayed the teacher, then the teacher was probably in trouble.

He didn't dare to question Musin's rights and wrongs, but he didn't have the slightest favor for the Eastern Crusade.

If it weren't for this damn war, their caravans would have been in the Taliban's cities and doing business well.

If it weren't for this damn war, I wouldn't have had to take sides between the wise kings and the Taliban.

With his own affection for the Taliban, he will definitely be able to buy the best goods from Hami, and then sell them to Dashi and Persia, even those noble ladies of the Seljuks, as long as their business is big enough, they can also get close to Fangze.

One hundred thousand gold coins, five years ago, could have allowed Mahim to sell his soul and ancestors.

Three years ago, he was able to sell his wife to Mahim, and now, 100,000 gold coins is still a big number for Mahim, but it is no longer enough for him to risk his life and capital to earn it.

Standing on a sand dune, Mahim watched from afar as the trebuchet threw ice cubes onto Loulan's walls, watching as the ice shattered into countless pieces of ice and fell to the ground.

He suddenly felt that this war was very boring, and whether it was won by the Wise Elder or the Taliban, it was not a good thing for him.

"You fight, but it is my ...... who suffers"

Mahim cursed through gritted teeth. (To be continued.) )
