Ma Lu, who was holding a curved bow, hesitated slightly, he couldn't tell how true or false what the centurion said. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 info¢, but, true or not, it's already too late.

The faint but continuous shouting of killing in the west made Ma Lan's heart like a knife. He didn't need to look to it to deduce that it must be the Qarluq and the Great Food rebels who were besieging the Anxi army heading north.

"Duhu, we have gone through a lot of difficulties and dangers, and finally succeeded in breaking through to the south, but we didn't know that we would lead the Anxi army into a dangerous path!" Ma Lu felt deep remorse in his heart: "Why didn't I be able to pass on the news of the rebellion of the Qarluq people to the Anxi Army!" Suddenly attacked, the Anxi army will inevitably suffer heavy casualties! ”

Thinking of this, familiar faces flashed in Ma Lan's mind: Xi Yuanqing, Duan Xiushi, Bai Xiaode......

Ma Luan's left arm holding the bow trembled slightly, he was really afraid that these familiar robes had turned into cold corpses under the butcher's knives of the Great Food Rebels.

"Boss, what should I do next?" The thin monkey found that Ma Lan had stopped asking questions for a long time, and the remaining dozens of Qarluq cavalry were about to move, and he couldn't help but be a little anxious.

"The great mistake has been made, what good is remorse!" Ma Lan persuaded himself in his heart: "No matter how small my strength is, I will do my best to make up for it!" ”

After pondering, Ma Lan roared, "Centurion, have you ever led a team to slaughter the Beiting Tooth soldiers!" ”

"Warrior, I am only responsible for guarding the Khan, and I have never killed any Beiting Ya soldiers!" The centurion hurriedly said.

"Okay, I'll believe you once!" Ma Lan strode forward, hid behind the centurion, looked around, and quickly bent his bow and shot arrows.

When the Qarluq cavalry saw Ma Lu swinging his bow again, they were so frightened that they hurriedly hid back.

Feathered arrows galloped in, but the target was not any one of the Qarluq cavalrymen.

The Qarluq cavalry looked at each other, not knowing what Ma Lu's intentions were.

The horse roared and Xiaoxiao, and Feishuang saw that the horse rope was broken by the master with an arrow, and the person stood up excitedly and hissed.

The four hooves of the flying frost soared into the air, like a dragon. The horse jumped slightly, and the cat was on top of the saddle.

"Up!" Ma Ling quickly put away his bow and arrows, and with both arms, he grabbed the centurion's shoulder blades and pulled them up.

The thin monkey hurriedly took advantage of the situation, and the centurion was dragged to Feishuang's back by Ma Lusheng like a cloud.

Ma Lan took out his hand to touch it, and found that the bow and horizontal knife were still on both sides of the saddle, and his heart was relieved. He drew his knife and pressed it against the centurion's throat.

The thin monkey saw that the centurion had been controlled by Ma Lu, so he took a Qarluq war horse by the way, turned over and rode on.

"Centurion, how about walking with our brother for a while?" Ma Lan asked coldly.

"Don't come here! Don't come here! The centurion understood what Ma Lan meant, and hurriedly yelled at his men.

"Centurion, you're very clever, so good!" Ma Lan's legs strained slightly, and Feishuang immediately slowly retreated.

The Qarluq cavalry obeyed the orders of the centurion and did not come forward in pursuit.

After exiting the range of the bow and arrow, Ma Lan kicked the horse's belly lightly, and Feishuang immediately turned around and galloped.

"Chief, where are we going?" The thin monkey followed behind Ma Lu and asked in a loud voice.

Ma Lan slapped the centurion on the face with a horizontal knife, and confessed viciously: "Go back and tell Mou Ra Black Mountain that the blood feud of one hundred and fifteen brothers is deep, and I will definitely seek justice from him!" ”

After saying that, Ma Lan slammed the centurion on the head with a horizontal knife, knocking him unconscious.

When the centurion fell from the saddle, there was only a vague thought in his mind: "Prince Sihan, the mission you have given me is really too dangerous!" ”

"Skinny monkey, are you afraid!" After pushing the centurion off the saddle, Ma Lan asked back.

"Boss, I've been closed from the ghost gate, what else is there to be afraid of?!" The skinny monkey is arrogant.

"Okay, then let's go west and help the brethren of the Anxi Army!"

"Chief, the enemy army should be in the thousands, just the two of us, how useful can it be?" The skinny monkey was a little worried.

"Thin monkey, I once heard Xiao Langjun often say, 'Although there are tens of millions of people, I will go'. Now that tens of thousands of enemies are in front, the only way to fight is to fight bravely! Ma Lan roared.

"Good!" The thin monkey was also enthusiastic: "Boss, I don't understand the truth." But I decided on one thing, I will go wherever the head goes! ”

In the distance, horses neighed and killed loudly, and the two horses and thin monkeys rode out of the woods, and in the glow of the rising sun, like eagles flying against the wind, whipped to the west.

"Maybe I'm going to die here today! Fortunately, the fields here are fertile, the grass is green, the flowers are red, and there are countless robes as companions, but it will not be lonely! After Ma Ling made up his mind, the originally heavy death became less dark and depressing.

After driving the horse out of the forest, Feishuang had just stepped onto the huge bend of the path when Ma Lu heard the faint sound of horses' hooves approaching. He immediately turned his head alarmingly to look back, but saw that there was no one behind him, and the Qarluq cavalry was not pursuing.

"What's going on?" Just as he was puzzled, people neighed at the northern turn of the path, and Ma Lu was shocked to find that in the billowing smoke and dust, a huge cavalry team was driving the horse to turn.

Feishuang felt the pressure in front of her, and without waiting for Ma Lu's order, she stopped on her own and screamed uneasily.

"Hui people? How did they end up here? "Ma Lan had seen the Hui cavalry in Broken Leaf City, and at a glance he recognized the identity of the other party from the eagle embroidered on the banner.

"Boss, could it be that the Anxi army has been defeated? Did the Hui Department run out first? The skinny monkey was in a state of panic.

"Not like that!" Ma Lan shook his head: "The sound of fighting appears and disappears, but it does not stop, which shows that the war is still going on." Although the morale of the Hui troops was a little low, the army was neat and tidy, and there was no defeat. ”

"What's going on? Too weird? "The thin monkey didn't understand what had happened to the Uighur cavalry.

"Don't think about it, let's go up and ask!" Ma Xuan knocked lightly and ran towards the Hui cavalry. At this time, the Hui cavalry also spotted the two horses that suddenly appeared in front of them, and dozens of cavalrymen in the front team immediately grabbed their bows and arrows and aimed their cold arrows at Ma Lu.

"Ahead is Prince Ye Hu? In the lower North Ting Ya Lieutenant Ma Lan! While being on guard, Ma Xuan announced his identity in a loud voice in Turkic.

When the Hui cavalry heard that the other party was the Tang Army, the right hand of the lead slowed down slightly.

"Captain Ma, why are you here?" Prince Ye Hu, who had a gloomy expression, urged the horse out of the battle and asked in surprise.

"Prince Ye Hu, why are you here? The sound of killing in the west shook the sky, when the Anxi army was fighting a fierce battle with the Dashi rebels, dare to ask the prince, why did the Hui Department look like it was out of the matter? Ma Lan asked bluntly.

If he wanted to deceive Ma Lan, Ye Hu could make up seven or eight reasons in the blink of an eye. But he was in a bad mood, and he really didn't know how to face Ma Lan's questioning.

"Dare to ask Captain Ma, why are you here and where are you going?" Seeing that Ye Hu was silent, he drove his horse forward and asked coldly.

"General Leroro, I sent people to hunt down and kill Montenegro a few days ago, and I just got out. Now you are about to go to the battlefield to kill the enemy! Ma Ling heard that Le Luo's tone was not good, and replied neither humbly nor arrogantly.

"Haha, that's ridiculous!" Disbelief and sarcasm were written on Towlero's face: "Captain Ma, do you know how many people are in the coalition of Dashi and Qarlu? Do you know that the enemy sneaks up late at night and has the upper hand? Do you know that Bahan's army is weak and difficult to carry on heavy responsibilities? In such a situation, it is ridiculous that the two of you who were lucky enough to escape should take the initiative to rush to the battlefield to seek death! ”

"General Toro, of course I understand that the enemy is outnumbered and the battle is dangerous. But I'd rather die on the battlefield than be a despised deserter! Ma Xuan already understood that the Hui Department had withdrawn from the battlefield early in order to preserve its strength.

Hearing the word "deserter", Ye Hu looked helpless, turned his face sideways, and did not want to look directly into Ma Xuan's eyes.

"Presumptuous! The way of using soldiers, how can you know that a mere lieutenant of a tooth soldier! He thinks he is brave and invincible, but in fact he is just a brave and unscrupulous horseman! Lero was annoyed and angry: "Come on, arrest this open-mouthed maniac for me!" ”

"Prince Ye Hu, is this the way you go back to the Ministry? Cowardly, fearful, arrogant and unreasonable! Seeing that Lero had bad intentions, Ma Ling immediately grabbed the Sun-Chasing Bow and aimed it at the Hui cavalry who were trying to force up.

Seeing this, the thin monkey also raised his scimitar and prepared for battle.

"Stop!" Prince Ye Hu shouted angrily: "Leluo, do you want to offend all the soldiers and horses of Anxi and Beiting?!" ”

"Gao Xianzhi and Wang Zhengjian are estimated to be buried in the river, so why should I care about a little Beiting captain! And he himself said that he had been hunted down by the Qarluqs for several days and had just escaped. If he had been buried here, most of the account would have been credited to the Black Mountain. The Qarluq people have killed countless Tang troops, and it is estimated that they don't care about taking one more life in the Black Mountain! After tearing his face, he didn't care about Ma Lu's life and death and Ye Hu's reprimand, he turned to the cowering Hui cavalry and shouted: "Now that the whole army is under my command, do you want to disobey the military order!" ”

The Uighur cavalry knew that there was a golden eagle order given by the Khan on his body, so they no longer hesitated, and drove their horses forward, preparing to capture Ma Lu and the thin monkey.

Ma Ling smiled coldly, and the sharp arrow cluster passed through the heavy cavalry, aiming at the invincible Towlero. And Trolo obviously didn't know how far the Sunbow could shoot, and he thought his position was safe enough.

"Bastard! Who dares to do it! Prince Ye Hu was furious, he drove his horse to stop in front of the Hui cavalry, and scolded: "Lu Leluo, don't be wrong again!" Escaping from the battle, or evading the explanation. If you kill Captain Beiting for no reason, then you will be in big trouble. ”

"Your Highness, your status is precious, why do you want to stand up for a school captain?" Tolero sneered: "Besides, anyone who disobeys military orders without reason, no matter who he is, has the right to punish him!" ”

"Hmph, what, don't you want to take the opportunity to kill me too? Then no one can hinder the relocation of the earth, right? Prince Ye Hu laughed angrily: "But, don't forget, since Father Khan will send you to supervise me, he will definitely send someone to spy on you." Your every move will be remembered. ”

In fact, Ye Hu was not sure whether his father Khan had other hidden stakes buried in the army. But at this time, he can only use this to intimidate Lero.

"Your Highness said that you laughed, how could you do something to deceive the king?" Leropi didn't smile: "It's just that I ask Your Highness not to hinder the issuance of orders anymore!" ”

When Prince Ye Hu and Lu Leluo were arguing with each other, the Hui cavalry stopped and didn't know what to do. None of them dared to offend, so they had to wait for the outcome of their dispute before acting on the winner's orders.

Ma Lan was surprised to see that Ye Hu and Lu Leluo were arguing very fiercely. While he was firmly aiming at the figure of Le Luo, he pondered: "The combat power of the 10,000 elite cavalry is considerable, if Prince Ye Hu can regain the military power, he may be able to persuade them to change their minds, turn around and return to the battlefield, and aid Anxi Paoze." It's just that how can I help Prince Ye Hu? Of course, there are disputes within the Hui Ministry, but if I rashly shoot and shoot Lero directly, it will cause a conflict between the Hui Ministry, Anzai, and Beiting, and make the situation even worse......"

Ma Lan gestured to the thin monkey with his eyes and asked him if he had any countermeasures. only to find that he was also sad and clueless.

Ye Hu and Leluo, Hui cavalry and Ma Lu, everyone was facing each other, and suddenly heard the sound of horses' hooves in the east, as if a large group of people and horses were approaching, and there was a small sound of horses' hooves, and the rhythm was extremely fast.

"Who? There should be thousands of cavalry, not the Qarluq hundreds. Why are there thousands of people in ambush here? Frightened, he drove his mount and retreated to the side of the road.

The Hui cavalry also hurriedly and silently formed a battle formation, like a tiger lurking in the grass, waiting for an opportunity to attack.

The sound of horses' hooves was getting closer and closer, and finally, several tall horses appeared at the southern bend of the path.

"Big Eater? Khorasan cavalry? Ma Lu was shocked in his heart, and he didn't know why there would be a big food rebel army coming from the east.

"Die!" Ma Ling did not hesitate to pluck the bowstring, and the eagle feather roared out and shot towards the big eating horse.

When Ma Lu's long arrow was fired, the Hui cavalry reacted and also shot feather arrows.

The woods are lush, and the path is winding.

A few miles west of the encounter between Ma Lu and the Uighur cavalry, Mou Rasihan looked at the battlefield to the west with endless killings, and said to himself: "It seems that Abu?? Muslim was not suspicious, and he did not send anyone to follow me, so that he could lead his troops north to Talas. However, there were still 70,000 food troops outside the city of Talas. Ebu Abu?? Muslim was so cautious that he would not inform the armies of our alliance with him. It is estimated that only Hamid, who sits under the city of Talas, has heard of it slightly. From this point of view, if you want to break through the defense line of the Great Food Army and get close to the Beiting Army, you must also make a fuss about Hamid......"

While he was planning, the commander of the thousand, Terkel, rushed to tell him: "Prince, the ten-man team that is monitoring the Hui army from afar has come to report that something seems to have happened to the Hui army, and it has stopped in the middle of the road. ”

"Huh? What's going on? The unexpected changes made Mou Rasihan particularly concerned. His plan has reached the most critical moment, and there can be no deviation in the slightest.

"The Centurion said they were too far away to see clearly."

Mou Rasihan looked up at Chaoyang, thought for a moment, and ordered: "It's still early, let's go and have a look." Don't make any trouble. ”

The morning light shines in all directions.

Under the light of the summer sun, the Anxi army is still struggling to support itself with its camps and strong bows and crossbows.

Under the continuous blows of the Great Food Army and the Qarluqs, the morale of the Anxi army was somewhat low, and the casualties were increasing. Fortunately, Gao Xianzhi came to the front line in person and fought with the soldiers at the risk of arrows, so that the defense line was maintained and did not collapse.

Feng Changqing thought hard for a long time, but he still did not find a way to break the enemy and get out of trouble. Knowing that Wang Zheng saw that the 30,000 male divisions under his command were in the city of Talas, which was more than 100 miles to the north, he had no way to get in touch.

At the same time, outside the city of Talas, Hamid commanded an army of 70,000 men, and assumed a posture of siege as before.

Hamid knew that with 5,000 Khorasan cavalry, 5,000 Tushi cavalry, and 60,000 servants, it was impossible to shake the city defended by the Beiting army. But his task was not to conquer the city, but to confuse Wang Zhengjian and make him think that the governor's main force was still outside the city.

As he drove his servants to attack the city in disguise, Hamid glanced at Khuduru and was very dissatisfied.

In the days of besieging the city of Talas, the Khorasan cavalry and servant army had already suffered casualties, but the Turian cavalry had always shirked in every possible way, and never attacked the city, so there was never any damage.

Hamid was tempted to send the Turgish to attack the city, but he knew he could not do it. As soon as Kudulu came to his command, all the cavalry was there, and he could not attack the city; Second, the governor once explained, saying that Kudulu has a special status and will be of great use in the future, so he should be treated kindly.

"Hmph, I don't dare to disobey the governor's order, but it's still okay to make the Turgish people suffer a little." Hamid was secretly thinking in his heart, preparing to punish the Turgish people a little.

Under the sun, wars are rife.

The battle of Talas, in which the two empires of the East and the West directly confronted, was like a chess game fought to the end, and all the plans and layouts of both sides of the game had been completely exposed.

It's just that no one would have thought that the final decision would be the seemingly inconspicuous pawn who had already quietly crossed the Chu River Han realm.
