The capital city of Samatjian (Samarkand in later generations), it and the stone country called Zhaowu Shuangcheng, not only its grand city, large population, but also it is the convergence of the two Silk Roads, where thousands of merchants gathered, various civilizations converged, but the invasion of the black-clothed locusts made the people who demanded independence and freedom were slaughtered, the young and strong were captured, women and children were sold, and Sammajian was silent, but the sparks that resisted under the silence would ignite a raging fire.

There is a large clearing in the southeast of the city, which was originally a Manichaean monastery that was burned down after the invasion of the White Food. After the rise of the Abbasids. The congregants rebuilt it. Last year, it was razed to the ground again by the Black Clothes Eater. It was set aside by the military as a place for temporary storage of military rations.

Now. Mountains of grain collected from various countries are piled up. Nearly 1,000 tablets. 2,000 grain guards are closely monitoring nearly 10,000 migrant workers loading grain. Due to the crisis in the city of Ross. The Muslims were the only ones who had troops along the road from Kham to Rus'. Two thousand grain guards were the first stop.

The sky was overcast, the wind was blowing, and dark clouds were gathering from time to time. A snowstorm was coming, and the officers who guarded the grain were even more anxious, and if the heavy snow closed the road, he would be beheaded if the time limit was missed, and in a hurry, he immediately ordered his soldiers to go to the city to arrest people, as long as they could take things, whether men, women, or children, they were all arrested, and all the troops were ordered, and they ran separately to catch the people.

At this moment, someone seemed to hear a strange sound in the air, as if someone was whispering, and his feet shook slightly. After a while. Instead of disappearing, the voice became louder, and the whispers turned into a moment, and they rushed to the city, stunned by the scene in front of them, only to see the vast land, the boundless crowd of people marching towards the capital. They were in the middle of the crowd with gray-haired old men, teenage children, angry women, and men with weapons. Hundreds of people carried a huge wooden platform, and a petite figure kept raising her arms on the wooden platform, and every time she shouted a word, tens of thousands of people responded in unison.

"Your parents, your wives and your children have to eat and survive. Go and get your food back! ”

"Survive!" The crowd shouted in unison.

"Our God weeps, trembling in the cold wind, and has nowhere to stay."

"Chase out the infidels!" The voices of the crowd were low and powerful.

"Kill them and insult the enemies of our temple."

The undulating tide of rage infected the land, and the city of Samad became angry, and almost all the army went to Rus' to fight. Only a few hundred soldiers were left to defend the city, they had already lost their weapons, taken off their uniforms and fled into the city, and the whole city became an undefended empty city, and the surging crowds poured into the city gates, rushed to the food, rushed to the palace, and they seemed to rise from Kangguo like a tsunami that swept the land of Zhaowu. In the Khorasan region, the wave of uprisings is surging again, and all this is also rapidly changing the situation of the Rus' campaign.

Rus, the battle between the Tang Empire and the Great Food Empire has entered the fifth day, the battle is getting more and more intense, the casualties are getting worse, the 110,000 Great Food Army has lost nearly 60,000, and the Tang Army has more than 10,000 casualties, the brave Anxi Army and sophisticated weapons and equipment make the Tang Army have the advantage, on the first day the Doulu Army fought 10,000 Anguo Army with 3,000 people, and in just one hour, the 10,000 Anguo Army collapsed.

The city of Ross seems to be asleep, standing quietly aside, watching the battle, the battle on the battlefield has changed the color of the world, the blood flows like a river, the whole land is shrouded in a bloody wind and rain, five days and five nights of fierce battles, the physical strength of the army is seriously overdrawn, the last fight is the will, who can hold on to the end, who will laugh to the end, although the Tang army has fewer casualties than the big food army, but the situation of the Tang army is still grim, especially after the heavy losses of the Bahanna army and the new Dawan army, the Anxi army has been put into battle, and the physical strength is obviously overdrawn, And the cunning Abu. Khorasan was an elite man, and he had fifteen thousand cavalry waiting for the best fighters.

The sky was unusually dark, and there were bursts of sand and rocks, it was not that it was almost twilight, but that a snowstorm was coming, and a strong cold wave from the northwest had swept across the Central Asian continent, and it was approaching Russ at this moment.

"Governor! The Tang army is at the end of its strong crossbow, and we can do it. Seeing that the Tang army was tired, Ziyad excitedly suggested to the Muslims.

"Nope! Now is not the time. The Muslim looked up at the gray sky, and there was a hint of cunning in his small eyes that did not match his honest face.

"They still have a considerable number of long swordsmen to come, and in two more days, Allah will give us victory."

"But Governor, I'm a little worried about the military rations, I'm afraid I won't be able to wait two days."

A sentence reminded the Muslims that their military rations were about to run out, and that if it weren't for the large number of war dead, they would have run out of food three days ago, their brows furrowed slightly, and their eyes flashed with anger, and they said:

Send someone to urge, if the food doesn't come again tomorrow morning, they will all be beheaded! ”

At this moment, several fast horses came galloping from the south, and immediately the faces of the people were full of anxiety, and the Muslim's heart sank, and his first reaction was that the military rations had been robbed.

"Governor! Big things are not good! The messenger almost rolled off his horse and shouted with a crying voice: "There were riots in Kangguo, Mi and Ho countries one after another, the mob burned down the mosque, killed the king, and stole the military rations, and most of our remaining troops died. ”

"What!" The eyes of the Muslim were dark, and he shook his horse, and when he saw that he was about to dismount, Ziyad grabbed him and said hurriedly: "Governor, end the battle as soon as possible, and it will be too late to rush back!" ”

After a while, the Muslims slowly came through their breath, and if the two rivers were lost, even if the Rus won the battle, the Abbasids would still not be able to spare him, and now they could only make a desperate bet.

He pointed back and commanded, "Ten thousand cavalry to fight!" ”

'Boom! Boom! Boom! The earth-shattering war drums sounded again, and the drums became more and more urgent, and the general Qi Yad personally led 10,000 large cavalry to form a huge local formation, and the speed changed from slow to fast. Quickly rushed towards the cavalry of the Tang Army in the fierce battle. The army swept through the Rus' fields. The sound of horses' hooves roared and the momentum was overwhelming.

Facing the most ferocious blow of the Great Cannibal. Li Qing, who has always been like a stone carving, finally showed a smile on his face, this smile seemed to penetrate the first ray of sunshine through the heavy haze, and it was extremely bright, so that Duan Xiushi, who had been beside him, finally breathed a long sigh of relief, although the situation was grim, but Li Qingdi's smile. It was as if he had seen the dawn of victory.

"Bi Sichen's cavalry and archery army was transferred back, and I was held down, and Li Siye was a knife hand. Exhaust! Li Qing's voice was hoarse and low, but his tone did not allow the slightest disobedience.

"General, you can't do it!" Duan Xiushi shouted in shock, the enemy still has thousands of heavy cavalry unfinished. If his own army is exhausted, how can he protect the commander with only a few hundred personal soldiers.

Li Qing's face sank, he didn't look back, only said coldly: "Drag it down." Beat a hundred military sticks! ”

Several executioners rushed forward. Pushing Duan Xiushi's back cut arm down, Duan Xiushi roared: "The general asked me to go into battle to kill the enemy, which is better than beating five hundred military sticks." ”

"Drag it down!".

The black-pressed Great Eclipse cavalry had already been killed, and the crossbow army made Bi Sichen lead three thousand crossbowmen and horsemen out in formation. Cold, arrows are pointed at the enemy. Behind them, the last five thousand Mo Sword Army lined up in an impregnable wall, waiting to collide with the elite of the Great Food Army with the fiercest impact.

"Put!" Powerful arrows were as dense as raindrops, overwhelmingly rushing at the enemy, extremely fast, bows and arrows and Mo knives, these were the two sharpest weapons of the Tang army. The Great Food Coalition suffered heavy casualties a few days ago, and most of them were killed by bows and arrows and Mo knives.

The arrows fired from their heads caused rows of great eaters to roll over on their backs. They fell to the ground one after another, but the cavalry behind them still came quickly. Instead, they sped up their speed, one hundred steps, eighty steps, the bow and crossbow riders brushed the ground to both sides, and the five thousand Mo sword troops stepped step by step, all of them were tall and long-armed, and their bodies were covered with heavy armor. The long Mo sword flickered in their hands, and their indifferent gaze stared at the enemy's cavalry.

"Boom!" There was a loud bang on the ground. The Mo knife army and the cavalry collided violently together, Li Siye stood with his head on his head, he shouted, raised his hand is a knife, only to see a cold light flashed, the oncoming cavalry was actually split into two sections by the people and horses, Yu Feng did not stop, and cut off the front hooves of a horse, the war horse fell down with a sad roar, and the cavalry fell into the Tang army formation, and was immediately divided into corpses by random blades, and the five thousand Mo knife army were divided into ten teams, cutting horizontally and vertically in the cavalry array, they were like a huge reef formation, allowing the big food army to be like a turbulent wave, and let the big food army continue to launch violently, Stormy attack, but Reef Tepe stood still, smashing the crazy waves into pieces again and again, five thousand against ten thousand, no less impressive, and even slaughtered the invincible cannibal cavalry to retreat. The fierce battle was so violent that in the middle of the two sides, the dead men and horses piled up in the middle of the two sides to form a new wall.

What made the Great Cannibal even more troublesome was the cavalry archers on the periphery, who only turned around a hundred paces, constantly shooting dense armor-piercing arrows into the enemy group, killing and injuring a large number of Great Eclipse cavalry.

The battle was in full swing across the Rus' Plain, divided into three major areas to capture and tear apart, and this was the fiercest battle in five days, and the winner and defeat would be decided in this battle.

Muslim eyes are cold, he did not look at the 10,000 cavalry battle, his sharp eyes are firmly fixed on the Tang army commander is in the middle army formation, all the troops around him have been put into battle, this is the Muslim waiting for the fighter, is the reason why the five thousand heavy cavalry around him was not sent to the battlefield, capture the thief first capture the king, this is the iron law of combat that he has always pursued, it is this iron law that makes him invincible and invincible.

Suddenly, the Muslims discovered a situation that made him ecstatic, nearly a thousand Tang troops actually moved in the direction of the city of Rus' with their commander, far away from the battlefield, a godsend, the Muslims shouted excitedly, and personally led 5,000 heavy cavalry to pounce on the central army of the Tang army.

The 5,000 heavy cavalry from Khorasan were the most elite of the Abbasids, and they were covered in iron armor made of Damascus steel, and they were not afraid of bows and arrows, nor were they afraid of ordinary slashes, and they were the heroes of the main cavalry of the Umayyad dynasty, if not even needed

With their steel bodies, they can knock everything over and crush everything.

Now they were approaching the city of Rus', and the defenders of the city were calling to them, and the black flag of the Great Food Army was waving in the wind, as if to welcome their arrival, and the Muslim's heart was so excited that he kept gesturing to the city. Ordered them to strike. Outflanking the back road of the commander of the Tang Army.

In many cases, the course of the war is often reversed dramatically, and the city gates are rumbled open, but the soldiers in the city do not come out, but let the Muslims see the most unbelievable scene for him, the commander of the Tang army actually rode into the city, and with a bang, the city gate was slammed shut, and the Muslims were stunned. He kept looking up at the banner of the Great Food Army flying in the city, and the Great Food Soldiers running back and forth, could it be that Allah was angry and turned everything in this world upside down?

Just as he was stunned for a moment, there was a sudden sound from the top of the city, 'Huh! Ignorant! There was a sound of the ground shooting, and a black round appeared in the sky, numbering hundreds. The size of a water tank, the cyan arcs drawn in the air flew towards the top of their heads, and the round objects were emitting violent green smoke. When they got closer, the Muslims saw clearly that the round tin cans exploded in the air and in the cavalry before they could hit the ground, with a deafening sound. One after another exploded in the cavalry, a stream of red flames rose into the air, a strong wave of air swept a large number of cavalry to the ground, thousands of blue iron pieces scattered in all directions, they penetrated the iron armor, shot into the body of the war horse and people, this is a fatal blow, not long. All the men and horses shot by the pieces of iron fell to the ground in agony and soon died.

The sound of a loud explosion echoed across the vast plains of Rus. The devilish flames rose into the air one after another, and the hearts of the Muslims were deeply shocked, and all the Great Food Eaters were stunned, the damage caused by the primitive black powder was even inferior to the bow and arrow, but it was incomparable to the psychological shock of people, and many years later, when the surviving Great Food Soldiers talked about the Battle of Rus', they would involuntarily talk about the weapon invented by the devil, which made them afraid for the rest of their lives.

The wind seemed to be stunned, at this moment, a snowflake quietly fell, as big as goose down, followed by two, three, the snow fell in a daze, suddenly, the wind suddenly woke up, it mustered up its strength, from the northwest strong blow, the momentum was extremely violent, wrapped in the blizzard, ruthlessly destroying, ravaging everything on the ground, in an instant, everyone was in front of the fog, unable to distinguish between the enemy and me, but the heavy cavalry of the Great Food Army was wiped out at this moment, and their slow movement became their Achilles' heel.

Gunpowder jars were mixed with overwhelming boulders whistling down, and there were also iron feather flying crossbows across the blizzard.

An unexpected ambush and a sudden snowstorm made the disadvantage of the Great Food Army come to light. Chime, under the leadership of Qi Yade, the Great Food Army began to withdraw to the south overnight, but was fiercely pursued by the Tang Army again and again, and when it retreated to Tuozhi City, the retreat of the Great Food Alliance Army was finally cut off by the Tang Army.

At this time, the news of the popular uprising in the Zhaowu countries finally reached the army, and the Kang Guojun took the lead in surrendering the Tang army, followed by He Guo, Shi Guo, Mi Guo, and Dong'an Guo all went out of the city to surrender, and the Great Food Alliance Army fell apart in an instant.

In March of the 10th year of Tianbao, the 6,000 Khorasan religious army with exhausted horses went out of the city to break through to the west, but was attacked by the last fierce attack of the Tang army, and the Great Food Army was completely annihilated.

The first violent collision between the Tang Empire and the Great Food Empire, from the spring of the ninth year of Tianbao to the end of March of the tenth year of Tianbao, lasted a whole year, and finally ended in the fiasco of the Great Food Empire.

Five months later, the Abbasids sent envoys to reach a reconciliation agreement with Li Li, the plenipotentiary of the Tang Dynasty and the king of Guangping, in the newly established Dawan military town of the Tang Army, redefining their respective spheres of influence, with the northern section of the two countries bounded by the Wuhu River, the southern section of the Tocharian region as the Tang sphere of influence, and the Khorasan region as the sphere of influence of the Great Eclipse.

After the reconciliation with the Tang Dynasty was reached, the Abbasids' worries were relieved, and he began to turn around and attack the Byzantine Empire with all his might, while the Tang Dynasty re-established the state of detention in the Western Regions, re-established the status of the suzerain, and accepted the tribute sent by various countries.

In October of the tenth year of Tianbao, Li Longji sealed the Anxi Festival to make Li Qing the Duke of Guangling County, the left servant of Shangshu, and Yin his son as the captain of the cavalry, with a reward of 50 million and a thousand silk horses, all the Anxi armies who participated in the war were rewarded, in the same month, Li Jiao, the king of Guangping, resigned and returned to Beijing, Li Longji ordered the right minister Li Linfu to lead the capital of Anxi, and ordered Li Qing to return to Beijing in January of the following year to report on his work.
