Chapter 128 The Emir of the Eagle

The dead always like to appear in the dark of night, and behind the distant mountains is a messy battlefield, with countless corpses lying on the ground. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

The same is true of Zechar, who had already died once, coming out of the darkness and finally approaching the fire, leaving a dappled mess in his wake.

He sat opposite Tie Xinyuan for a long time, leaving only a sigh without saying a word, and then walked back into the darkness.

Mahim kissed Tie Xinyuan's shoes, and then set out on a long road with a caravan before dawn.

Xu Dongsheng looked tired, there were no less than six wounds on his body, and the blood was still flowing from the skin and flesh on his arms, and he sat silently in the dark and took care of his wounds.

The same is true for Meng Yuanzhi, although he looks dirty, the armor on his body is intact, he just keeps coughing lightly, and it can be seen that they are extremely tired.

They did not go to rest, but accompanied Tie Xinyuan to sit in the darkness before dawn until the East was white.

Tie Xinyuan was not happy, this time, he exhausted the last bit of affection with Zachar, and the next time they met, there would only be a cold deal.

"The lesser of two evils...... I can't help it. Tie Xinyuan bathed in the morning sun without the slightest anger.

"The Great Lei Yin Temple will definitely suffer heavy losses...... And Zechar chose to believe me. ”

"We can't get involved in the assassination of the Seljuk royal family, and Adan doesn't want to do it either, everyone wants to sit back and enjoy it, so there will always be losses.

Today, the Seljuks are so powerful that they have tripled their territory since they conquered Khorasan in just six years since Seljuk grandson Tughluk Berk conquered Khorasan twenty-three years ago, and four years ago he entered Baghdad.

Adam's father, Caliph al-Qaim, thanked Aisha's father for freeing him from the control of the Shiite Bouwihi dynasty, making him sultan and "king of the East and the West"

Now that they have everything, whether it is a strong army or a royal family, the struggle for suzerainty with the Byzantine emperor is imminent, and once they win, they will undoubtedly turn their eyes to the east.

Originally, Hami was just a desert, a desert that was difficult to conquer, and any Western army could only stop there.

It's a pity that our Hami country has risen up, turning a barren Gobi into a densely populated and rich land.

This makes the communication between the West and the East more barrier-free, and at the same time, the footsteps of the army can be stretched farther.

Hami is too young. We don't have the ability to face half a million cavalry head-on, the Qarakhanid people don't, we don't, the Great Song doesn't either, and the same is true of Western Xia.

I was sometimes startled in my dreams, and I measured that no one could be a match for the Seljuks in the Western Regions, a place that was extremely suitable for large-scale cavalry combat.

I have been planning for a long time for this, and without Aisha's help, we would not have been able to get close to the Seljuk royal family.

Without Zechar's arrangements over the years, we would not have been able to accomplish any of the Seljuk plans.

So I sacrificed Zechar, it was the first time I betrayed my friend, and although it was a helpless move, I still felt sad. ”

Meng Yuan sat up straight and said with a smile: "The assassin of Flying Eagle Mountain is very powerful, I was stabbed, although it was the back of the knife, it is estimated that two ribs were broken." ”

Xu Dongsheng smiled hesitantly, his voice hoarse: "Two thousand against six hundred, more than half of us were killed and wounded, and the Eagle Mountain Eagle really deserves its name."

Zhang Yuanshan, the captain of the Loulanbu Military Academy, had just emerged after the gunpowder exploded, and he was shot by more than 100 branches, and the whole person was drowned by feather arrows.

Lao Tzu thought that his martial arts were good, and he wanted to charge into battle once, hehe, if it wasn't for Lao Meng's help, I would have died under the chaotic blade.

Your six Great Thunder Sound Temple warrior monk guards all died on the battlefield, and they died at the beginning of the ambush.

Dressed in heavy armor and armed with scimitars, they were as brave as lions even when the severed limbs and arms of the gunpowder explosion flew all over the air, and this was the first samurai I had seen who had not been destroyed by the gunpowder.

If we don't have gunpowder, no oil, no crossbows that can be designed continuously, and no eight-bull crossbows that can penetrate heavy armor, the king, even if there is a master like Lao Meng, it will only be us who will be wiped out by the whole army.

I've heard that there are more than 10,000 samurai like Flying Eagle Mountain......"

Meng Yuan smiled and said: "This is simply a group of troops who don't know what death is, I checked it afterwards, their ears are sealed with wax, their tongues are the same as Tie Yi and they are gone, the only purpose of their existence is to fight, after an order, they can only die in battle." ”

Tie Xinyuan looked up at the rising sun and said with a wry smile: "People play, their slave market is like a city, there are many Persian slaves, their Byzantine war slaves are like cows, and they have captured many strong savages in the north......"

Xu Dongsheng smiled bitterly: "When I first intercepted the news, I thought that the Seljuks had underestimated the enemy, and wanted to kill all the leaders involved in the alliance with six hundred people, and I was still laughing at their incompetence.

Thinking that intercepting and killing the assassins was an easy battle, only 600 people, and 2,000 cavalry could be crushed to death with a single charge, who would have expected that the process of the battle would be so difficult.

If these six hundred people were to be touched, they would really have the ability to kill most of the messengers here.

If their plan is achieved, the Hami State and the Qarakhanid State will not be able to escape the blame. ”

Tie Xinyuan laughed silently, stood up, shook off the mustard on his body, and walked slowly towards the barracks.

There was also a very tedious meeting today, and out of respect for the Qarakhanids, he needed to go back and bathe and change his clothes.

Rahman's long arrow roared away from the bow, leaving a trail in the air, and then it was nailed to the stack of arrows a hundred paces away, and the powerful anti-shock force shattered the feathers of the arrow's tail, and the black tail feathers instantly turned into a blooming black flower.

The applause rose to the sky.

Rahman didn't have much smile on his face, but he still drew his strong bow and shot all the feathered arrows in the quiver one by one.

He didn't look at the feathered arrows on the stacks, but saluted his chest around, and then left the arena.

The red gold coin that Tie Xinyuan had put a bounty on the field was still hanging empty, and after two days, no one could take it.

Uriel beat his chest angrily, pointed at Meng Yuanzhi, who was patronizing in the distance and drinking and eating meat, and scolded, his arm still couldn't pull a bow and shoot arrows, which made Uriel think that yesterday's beating was purely a ploy of the Hami people, not letting him play, and not being able to fight for more glory for the Qarakhanid.

Six Western Regions men with only a piece of linen tied around their waists were shaking a huge curved iron fork vigorously.

A golden camel that had been roasted turned slowly on an iron fork, and the two big men used a large brush to constantly brush the honey and sauce on the camel meat, and the meat was full of aroma.

Tie Xinyuan gently shook the glass in his hand, and the red wine syrup swirled in the glass, exuding a charming fruity aroma.

Adan lay on the soft brocade couch, squinted his eyes and looked at Tie Xinyuan and said, "You are in a bad mood today?" ”

Tie Xinyuan nodded and took a sip of wine, he didn't pretend to be strong, just last night, more than half of the two thousand troops of the Hami Kingdom were killed and wounded.

"I heard from the scouts that the Hami Kingdom fought for half the night with a nameless army thirty miles west of Lake Bosten last night, can you tell me who they are?"

Tie Xinyuan took out an eagle seal from his wide sleeve and threw it to Adam, who just glanced at the seal and said: "Eagle Emir, you can command five hundred war slaves and a hundred pro-army, how many people did you use to meet this noble eagle emir last night?" ”

"Two thousand!"

"Nonsense, the Eagle Emir leads five hundred war slaves, plus a hundred pro-troops, and there is no way that any of your two thousand men will come back alive, even if you have gunpowder and the kind of crossbow that can be designed quickly.

Although your gunpowder is very powerful, in the face of heavily armored war slaves, the lethality is not as great as you imagined. ”

Tie Xinyuan didn't argue, and said in a low voice: "Half of the two thousand warriors were lost in battle, less than two hundred people came back safely, and the rest were either killed in battle, or seriously injured or lightly injured. ”

Adan sat up straight, looked at the sluggish Meng Yuan and said straightly: "Your general personally leads the army?" ”

Tie Xinyuan nodded and said, "And my two hundred pro-army." ”

Adan slowly lay down, took a sip of wine and said: "In this way, the number of casualties is reasonable, when Tughluk Berk attacked Khorasan, another eagle emir led the same team to intercept 30,000 Khorasan divisions at the Batura Pass, and in sixteen days, the Khorasan divisions suffered heavy casualties and could not move forward, resulting in the Khorasan royal city being breached by Tughluk Berk.

After the battle, the Emir of the Eagle lost only 347 war slaves, and countless Khorasan cavalry were killed in the battle of the Batura Pass. ”

Tie Xinyuan let out a long sigh and said, "I thought I could afford to look down on this group of assassins, but I didn't expect to look down on them. ”

Adan let out a sigh and said: "It's not bad, there are only six Eagle Emirs in this world, and it is not easy for you to kill one, you must know that the status of Eagle Emir in Seljuk is not lower than mine." ”

Tie Xinyuan looked at the wine glass in his hand and smiled, "Don't you ask what this Eagle Emir is here for?" ”

Adan smiled: "Kill, the Eagle Emir is a death knight, as long as there is a place where he appears, there is only death." ”

"Do you think these people will hurt you for the sake of being the Seljuk son-in-law?"

Adan shook his head and said: "War slaves are illiterate, do not speak, do not listen to the enemy's defense, do not have mercy, combat has always been the purpose of killing the last living person in sight, how can I be spared?" ”

"So you don't have much status in your father-in-law's heart."

Adan grinned and said, "In his heart, there is no one who cannot be sacrificed except himself. ”

Tie Xinyuan waited for Adan to finish laughing, and continued to shake the wine glass and said, "So, if your father-in-law dies, you won't be sad?" ”

Adan laughed and said, "If he dies, I will celebrate this great day with the greatest banquet." ”
