Seeing that Mou Ra Sihan's answer was reasonable, Ma Lan no longer attached the horizontal knife in his hand so closely: "I still have a brother who has fallen into the hands of the Khorasan cavalry, I wonder if Prince Sihan can save him?" ”

"Has he ever been hurt?" Mou Ra Sihan's heart moved, and he hurriedly asked.

"It should be hurt." Ma Lan thought of the sound of the blade entering the bone, and his heart was anxious.

"Captain Ma, you threatened with my life and asked Commander Terk to negotiate with the big cannibal, under the pretext that Father Khan wanted to torture the surviving Beiting soldiers and force the big cannibal to hand over your sergeant." After thinking about it for a while, he came up with a countermeasure.

"Don't leave the skinny monkey alone! But it's trapped, it's easy for me to kill it alone, and if I want to save the thin monkey, I have to use the power of Mou Ra Sihan...... "Ma Ling thought about it, but he really couldn't find a better way, so he had to act according to the plan.

Fortunately, the Qarluq cavalry did fear for the life of Thihan, and Commander Terk rushed into the dense forest with a soldier who could speak the language of food and a team of hundreds.

The rain became heavier and heavier, and Ma Ling controlled Mou Ra Sihan, letting the icy rain wash away the dust and dirt on his armor.

Soon, there was a commotion in the camp. The horizontal knife in Ma Lan's hand unconsciously approached the throat of Mou Ra Sihan again. But Mou Ra Sihan closed his eyes and was not nervous.

In a few moments, Commander Turk led his team back from the camp, and he stared into the eyes of Mou Rasihan, and said simply: "The Great Cannibal has withdrawn." ”

The thin monkey, whose lower leg was wounded and bleeding profusely, was placed across the saddle by the Qarluq cavalry, already somewhat delirious. He smiled at Ma Lan in a daze, and then muttered: "Boss, leave me alone, you must kill it!" ”

Ma Lan didn't expect things to go so smoothly, but he didn't have time to think about whether there was anything wrong at this time, and all his thoughts were focused on the thin monkey.

Under the threat of Ma Lu, the Qarluq cavalry simply and rudely bandaged the thin monkey's wounds.

Seeing that the thin monkey's wound was no longer bleeding, Ma Lu whistled, and the flying frost came.

Ma Lu held a knife in his right hand, continued to hold Mou Ra Sihan, and led the war horse carrying the thin monkey in his left hand, and slowly headed south. Flying Frost was unhurried and followed.

According to the instructions of the plotters, Telke only followed from a distance, bluffed, and shouted threats, but did not exert more pressure on Ma Lu.

When he was dozens of zhang away from the Qarlu cavalry, Mou Rasihan said with a smile: "Captain Ma, your brother I have already helped you come back, can you also put down your horizontal sword?" My martial arts skills are sparse and ordinary, and I am definitely not your opponent, please rest assured! ”

Ma Xuan stiffened his face and snorted coldly, but he did not withdraw the horizontal knife. The rain fell on the blade, and drips of rain converged along the blade and flowed down the neck of Mou Rasihan.

Mou Ra Sihan smiled helplessly and said: "Captain Ma, there are some commonly used hemostatic medicines in the cowhide bag on the right side of my saddle, and when you get to a safe place in a while, you can quickly put it on him." Also, I advise you not to go straight south. Father Khan and the Great Cannibal will definitely block the road south to Tuozhi City. It is difficult for you to break out with your wounded men, so it is better to go east or west first, and make a detour south through the mountains and forests. Anyway, the Anxi army will also leave for the north tomorrow, and in two or three days, you should be able to meet Gao Jieshuai. ”

"The military situation is unpredictable, and a lot of things can happen in two or three days." Thunder rumbled in the night sky, and Ma Lu's blade never left Mou Rasihan's neck.

"Captain Ma, although I don't know when the big cannibals won over Father Khan, I can still guess their purpose." Mou Ra Sihan tried his best to analyze calmly: "Our army is stationed in the north and south, the north is light and the south is heavy, and the horns are facing each other, and if the Great Food Army wants to break the situation, it can only go around the city of Kai Kai Zhi and defeat the Beiting army as soon as possible." Then with the power of a great victory, he went south to fight a decisive battle with Gao Jieshuai. At this time, they co-opted our troops in order to weaken the strength of the Anxi army and delay the decisive battle with Gao Jieshuai, so as to gain time to capture the city of Talas as soon as possible. ”

"Huh?" Ma Lan will be skeptical. Before the Great Food Army attacked Talas, Ma Ling had already led his troops south, so he was not aware of the changes in the situation of the battle, nor could he judge the truth or falsehood of what Mou Sihan said.

"Captain Ma, after I go back, I will try my best to persuade Father Khan to break with the Great Cannibal. Unite with Gao Jieshuai and Wang Duhu to annihilate the Great Food Rebels under the city of Talas! Mou Ra Sihan was worried that Ma Ling was thinking deeply, and he hurriedly promised.

"Prince Sihan, how sure are you?" Ma Lan's face was gloomy.

Mou Lai Sihan pondered for a moment, and then carefully said: "Last year, the king gave me a jade pendant, and I carried it with me day and night, and I repeatedly thought about the deep meaning of Du Hu. Later, I realized that Wang Duhu hoped that I could abide by the ancient precept of 'a gentleman is like jade', be humble and tenacious. And the foundation of a gentleman's life lies in loyalty and filial piety. Father Khan wanted to take refuge in the big cannibal, but he was confused for a while. Whether it is for the sake of loyalty or filial piety, I will not hesitate to persuade my father Khan to restrain himself from the precipice before making a big mistake. Besides, even if I can't go back to the sky, won't there be a captain Ma? You just need to tell Gao Jieshuai about this change as soon as possible, and with the wisdom of the Jieshuai, he will come up with a countermeasure. ”

Ma Lan saw that what Mou Ra Sihan said was sincere, and the muscles in his arms relaxed slightly. Sharp knives that are

Before leaving the throat of Mou Ra Sihan, Ma Lu said fiercely: "Prince Sihan, no matter what happens in the future, the enmity of the one hundred and fifteen brothers will never be forgotten in the future. ”

Without waiting for a reply, Ma Luan's long arm flicked and pushed him off the saddle.

When Turk arrived, he was slapping the muddy water on his body in embarrassment, and Ma Lu was gone.

"Prince, wouldn't it be a hundred to kill him directly, why bother so much? It was too dangerous just now, and it's scary to think about it now! When Terk helped Rathhan to get on the horse, he couldn't help but complain.

"It's easier to kill people than to save people, besides, if you kill Ma Lu, who will testify for me in the future?!" He smiled mysteriously and commanded, "Immediately block all southbound roads, and be sure to prevent him from going south to Tuozhi City." Send another 100-man team to follow and follow, to delay the time of his and Anxi army as much as possible, and at the critical moment, you can disguise the cavalry under the tent of Cheng's father Khan and take control of Ma Lu. He will definitely not move too fast with the wounded, as long as you use snacks, you will not lose them. ”

"Prince, when will the hundred-man team let Ma Lu leave?" Turk asked.

"When the flames of war are burning in unexpected places, Ma Lu should thank our team of 100 for saving him a life-and-death disaster." "At that time, our warriors will also be able to return. ”

When Telke, who seemed to understand whether he understood or not, left to deploy, Mou Ra Sihan put on his robe, looked up at Xiaoxiao and the rain, and said with a cruel smile: "Gao Xianzhi, Feng Changqing, do you think I don't understand your plans?" I connived at the old fellow's mistakes just to convince you of the old fellow's stupidity! The strength of the Anxi army is too strong, so let me borrow a big cannibal long knife and cut it a little. In this way, I will not be driven by others in the future. ”

After laughing, Mou Rasihan lowered his head and pondered for a moment. His hand reached into his robe and touched the quaint jade pendant tied around his waist, and sighed softly, "Abu? Muslim is also a greedy wolf with an insatiable appetite, and my plan will ultimately have to rely on this jade pendant to be fulfilled. It's just that how to get out at that time still needs to be carefully planned......"

The wind never ends, and the rain never ends. The summer rain comes and goes quickly, and it goes quickly. The torrential rain that swept through most of Shiguo and fell for most of the night gradually stopped.

When the rain was light and the wind was light, and the east was about to dawn, the smoke was curling in the city, and more than 10,000 Anxi troops, 10,000 Uighur cavalry, and 20,000 soldiers of the Bakhana Kingdom were cooking in their respective camps.

Although the camp was muddy, the soldiers ate deliciously. On the one hand, it was because I was busy in the middle of the night, and I was already hungry; On the other hand, it was because the smell of blood in the air finally dissipated......

When the summer sun is about to rise, in addition to the 5,000 Bahana ** team who stayed in Tuozhi City, tens of thousands of horses have all been assembled outside the north gate of Tuozhi City, and they can march north lightly at any time.

Gao Xianzhi strictly ordered to go north as fast as possible. The entire Anxi army, up to Gao Xianzhi himself, down to the ordinary infantry, had to ride on horseback, even the poor riding skills of the supervising army Bian Lingcheng, the leg inconvenient Feng Changqing, and the secretary Cen Shen, who had just recovered from a serious illness.

Fortunately, the Anxi army was not short of war horses, and after breaking through Tuozhi City, tens of thousands of horses were gathered. Therefore, the whole army, whether cavalry or infantry, everyone has two or three war horses at their disposal. In addition to the war horses, the Anxi army was also equipped with a large number of pack horses and mules to carry baggage.

As for the Hui Division, they were all elite Mobei light cavalry, and their marching speed was naturally very fast.

Only some of the infantry of the country of Bahana were not good at horsemanship, but these infantry were arranged by Feng Changqing to Dou Zhongjie to stay in Tuozhi City.

In this way, an army of more than 30,000 people can advance lightly at the fastest speed.

Gao Xianzhi stood on top of the city tower in a threatening manner, looked at the tens of thousands of elite soldiers under his command, and shouted: "Soldiers! I know, you've been speculating last night, why are we rushing north from Pioneer Branch? Now, I tell you clearly, we are heading north for greater victory! ”

Cen Shen, who had a haggard face, looked up at Gao Xianzhi, who was impassioned on the city tower, and then looked at the brilliant morning glow in the eastern sky and the majestic army in front of him. The beauty of heaven and earth is moving, and the bears are arrogant, as if there is no difference from the day of the siege.

However, when he took a deep breath of the fresh air filled with the fragrance of grass, the thick smell of blood still lingered in his nostrils.

Cen Shen knew that this was his own delusion, and the violent summer rain had washed away all traces of sin. However, the blood marks engraved in his heart can never be erased.

"Soldiers! We and the Beiting Army are in the south and the north, just to wait for the Great Food rebels to fall into the net. Originally, both Mou and Wang Duhu thought that the Great Food Rebels would be like real warriors, and they would put out a dignified division under Tuozhi City to compete with our army. But you are so brave and mighty! Within two days, he conquered the capital of Shi Country and killed that car nose to the bust! Your strength scares the Great Food Rebels! Gao Xianzhi's voice was like a bell, and he used the way of ridiculing the car nose to boost morale.

The soldiers of the Anxi Army listened to it

(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page) laugh out loud, laugh loudly at the cowardice of the enemy. Although the soldiers of the country of Bakhana did not participate in the siege battle, many soldiers who knew Tang dialect also showed a proud look of honor after listening to Gao Xianzhi's words.

Dou Wumo looked at Tian's shameless subordinates, remembering the shame of being crushed by the Khorasan cavalry, and hated.

After being defeated by the Khorasan cavalry that day, Dou Wumo gathered the remnants and continued to march towards Tuozhi Castle, and at the same time sent someone to inform his father and tell him to be careful of the Khorasan cavalry.

After Dou Zhongjie learned that his son had been attacked, while rejoicing that Dou Wumo was safe and sound, he hurriedly regrouped his troops to the north. He was not in a hurry to help Gao Xianzhi attack the city, but felt that he would feel safe staying with the powerful Tang army......

"Soldiers! After hearing about our prestige, the Great Food Rebels actually sneaked around the city of Frontier Branch. Quietly head north and prepare for a sneak attack on Talas! Gao Xianzhi spoke in a relaxed tone about the shocking changes in the battle situation.

Tens of thousands of soldiers were still somewhat surprised to hear that the coach affirmed the change in the situation. But because Gao Xianzhi's tone was calm and confident, the soldiers did not panic.

Prince Ye Hu listened carefully to Gao Xianzhi's mobilization, carefully pondered the words and sentences, and admired his speech skills very much.

"Soldiers! Wang Duhu sent dozens of tooth soldiers, and he easily killed the encirclement of the Great Food Army. The person who led the team was Captain Ma Xuanma, who had served in the Anxi Army! According to the news brought by Captain Ma, the elite of the Great Food Rebels is only twenty or thirty thousand people, and the rest are vulnerable waste. At this moment, the rebels of the Great Food have been pinned down outside the city of Talas by the royal capital. As long as our army moves north quickly, it will be able to join forces inside and outside and break the enemy's army! ”

Hearing the name of Ma Lan, the officers and men of the Anxi Army exchanged heads and ears. They were even more excited when they thought that Ma Lan had been their robe.

"You're in the limelight again!" Bai Xiaode, the commander of the Anxi Light Cavalry Brigade, secretly pondered: "When Ma Lu arrived in Tingzhou, he really became more and more popular, who made the Beiting Army a little worse than the Anxi Army!" However, no matter what happens to the Beiting Army, it will not be the turn of the big cannibals to bully. Brothers of Beiting, hold on, our Anxi Army will soon fight side by side with you! ”

"Soldiers! The enemy is ahead! Glory ahead! Victory ahead! Let's wave our troops north and capture the enemy chieftain alive! ”

"Wave your way north! Capture the enemy chieftain alive!! The Anxi Army responded to Gao Xianzhi's call and made an earth-shattering loud noise. The Uighur cavalry and the soldiers of the Pakhana kingdom also shouted in unison.

Feng Changqing looked at the army with high morale, nodded and smiled: "The military heart is available!" Sure enough, this is what Jie Shuai likes and is best at doing! As for the conspiracy, he knows it in his heart, but he can't always be ruthless......"

When Gao Xianzhi led his army to the north with light equipment from Tuozhi City, the morning sun had already risen in the air, shining on the fields and mountains between Tuozhi City and Sa Mojian.

After Ziyad had led the seven thousand Khorasan cavalry to pray, he glanced at the father and son of the Chaseshi who were standing not far away, and came forward in a cheerful mood and asked, "Your Majesty, when will you pray with us?" ”

Na Juche was stunned for a moment, and then replied with a smile in a big food language that was not very proficient: "General, the day when Gao Xianzhi and Wang Zheng meet to confer the head is the time when the entire Shi Kingdom is converted. At that time, it will not be just the next person who will accompany the governor and the general in prayer. ”

"So much the best!" After Qiyad understood Abu Muslim's battle strategy, his irritable mood had disappeared without a trace with the summer rain last night: "Your Majesty's wish, the governor will soon be able to fulfill it for you!" ”

"General, are we going to counterattack Tuozhi City?" Na Ju Yuan En interjected eagerly.

"Your Royal Highness the Prince, do you only have Tuozhi City in your eyes? His Majesty saw the whole of Sogdia, but His Excellency the Doge was concerned with a vast empire! Ziyad sneered.

That Ju Yuanen wanted to ask, but was stopped by his father. Na Juche Shi said respectfully: "General, the last remaining soldiers of the Shi Kingdom will follow behind the general's horse and serve the governor." ”

Ziyad laughed and rolled over his horse. Behind him, 7,000 Khorasan cavalry and more than 10,000 Sogdian hussars were ready for action.

Ziyad's troops left the dense mountain forest, no longer concealing their whereabouts, turned into the road connecting Sa Mojian and Tuozhi City, and marched north as fast as they could.

After the army had passed for more than half an hour, a group of more than 300 black-armored cavalry came from the south and stopped on the avenue.

Just after the night rain, the road is still relatively muddy, and all kinds of horseshoe prints are clearly visible. The general who led the team dismounted and carefully examined it for a long time, and then said in a low voice in the big food language: "Khorasan cavalry? It seems that the battlefield is not far away. The speed of the war horse is so fast, there must be an emergency, and there will definitely be a harvest if you follow behind! ”

The rain fell for nine days in the western part of Shiguo, and the fighting was endless, but the area around Julan City in the east was scorching and hot.

Wang Fei and his entourage of more than 1,000 people were in a hurry to rush to Tuozhi City. But they didn't know that Gao Xianzhi had already left the city of Pioneer Zhicheng to the north; They don't know that the entire Western Expedition is undergoing more drastic changes! They would never have thought that the will of heaven was dark and unpredictable, and the key to the final victory or defeat would fall on those immature shoulders......
