Chapter 0828. grassland
With a thick phlegm on his face, Hussein turned around and walked out of the cell again, and the elderly Persian guards hurriedly found a clean handkerchief from outside and handed it to Hussein.
Rubbing his face with a handkerchief in embarrassment, listening to the terrible devilish roar and scolding of the Assasins, Hussein's face was a little darker, and he tilted his head sharply at the leader of the torturers who were panting beside him.
Holding a basin of seawater, more than a dozen torturers walked into the cell with hideous evil smiles on their faces, listening to the roars inside even higher, and after the sound of splashing water, the angry scolding stopped abruptly.
"Even if the descendants of the Prophet are now fallen, sooner or later Allah will judge you."
In the terrible screams, the last angry scolding stopped abruptly, and the wounds all over his body, large and small, and then used this salt water to cool his heart, the taste was like scraping a knife on his body, and it was no wonder that even the hard-hearted Assasin couldn't stand it and fainted.
However, Hussein, who wiped his face clean, also fell into deep helplessness at this time, pinching his chin and shaking his head sadly.
"Is it Hou Jie, the bastard, who is behind the scenes, and what method did he use to make these young people so obsessed with him, such a heavy punishment, and I, the descendants of the prophet, can't let them speak."
"Lord, for today's plan, I have to endure a little bit of torture, these heretics are flesh and blood after all, with torture a little bit of sharpening, they will eventually have a day when their will collapse, but Damascus needs the master to drag it out."
The Persian guards who were covered with frost and even forgot their names are now in Hussein's position has risen a lot, he saved Hussein once in Assasin's ambush, and then he saved Hussein a second time with reinforcements, listening to the advice of the old Persian man, Hussein also nodded thoughtfully.
"You don't have to worry about Damascus, although Hou Jie is cunning, he can't defeat me, everything here will be left to you. Anyway, pry open the mouths of these damn assassins"
"Obedience"
With a thoughtful reply, old Persia turned around and went into the prison to get ready.
The pain all over his body was like a knife cut, and I don't know how long it took for Sara to open his blue eyes with difficulty in unbearable pain, vaguely. Two fires came into his eyes, a moment later. Only then did he see the old and ugly Persian in front of him.
"Hey, old man, you will go to Hellfire"
Weakly defiant, Sara looked at the old Persian with disdain, but in the face of his curse, the old Persian was as indifferent as a stubborn stone, and with an expressionless face, he pressed the second flame and the red-hot iron to Sarah's chest.
Hiss hiss
Wisps of green smoke bubbled up, and grease dripped on the red-hot horse manure. It was evaporated in an instant.
Asia Minor, that is, Turkey in later generations, is still experiencing the last few days of scorching heat, but the steppes of Central Asia have ushered in winter snowstorms, a thin layer of white snow covers the withered yellow pastures on the ground, squatting in the snow, while squatting in the heat. More than a dozen pairs of eyes stared at the rare roast sheep like a wolf.
In the sky, facing the dripping cold wind, a peregrine falcon with fluttering wings began to slowly grow larger, from far and near, it seemed to smell the fragrance of roast sheep, and the peregrine falcon swooped down quickly. Circled in mid-air.
The shrill chirping caused the nomads on the ground to raise their heads in annoyance like hungry wolves, and some of them even gestured their bows and arrows menacingly to the sky, and shouted in disgust in the obscure language of the steppe peoples.
"Ominous vulture, get out of here"
It seems that it is really psychic, and there are two sharp exchanges, and Hai Dongqing flapped his wings and went far away, but only a moment later. The revenge brought by Hai Dongqing came like a dark cloud.
The rumbling sound of horses' hooves shook the earth, the sheepdogs barked uneasily, and the nomads also dropped their mouths in a panic, and listened to the cold snow in horror for a while, and then climbed on the war horses even more fearfully.
"Flee, the cavalry of the Min people is coming"
In the midst of the chaotic roars, the whole small tribe was in disarray, the women cried and took the children to pack up the pitiful wealth and felt bags on which they depended, and the men frantically untied their horses and drove away the lean cattle and sheep who were grazing on the meadows.
Unfortunately, it was too late, on the undulating horizon in the south, a layer of flowing black had already appeared in sight, and the large banners of Min characters were like the fierce fins of sharks in the huge waves, cutting through the wind and waves, rushing towards this small tribe.
Unable to take care of the women and children anymore, the selfish nomadic tribesmen simply abandoned all their possessions and fled from the other end of the tribe in terror on their horses, panicking like a lost dog.
However, even so, they did not escape the fate of destruction, and before they could flee for long, in the north, the same stout torrent of Min army also came towards them like flowing flames.
"Fight with these Min dogs"
The retreat was completely cut off, and the ferocity of this small tribe man was completely aroused, and he roared, pulled out his scimitar, and rode his mount to rush over in despair against the rolling iron stream.
Looking at the scattered and chaotic cavalry flow in front of him, the strong disdain was in the sharp eyes of Xue Li, the general of the cavalry of the Fujian army, wrapped under the helmet, and on the bumpy horse, Xue Rengui picked up his treasure eagle bow, and the two eyes together burst out with a fierce murderous intent that did not match it.
Whoosh
The three arrows almost chased each other's arrows in a series of shots, and at about the same time, the three fierce nomadic barbarians who rushed to the front of the tribe covered their throats incredibly, spurted blood and fell down, and in the blink of an eye, they were trampled by the galloping horses and their bones were gone.
The death of the most ferocious warriors of the three tribes made the morale of this unknown small tribe take away again and become more sluggish, and the soldiers of the Fujian army applauded loudly, and immediately took off their bows.
What followed was a heart-wrenching meltdown.
The battle ended in less than a quarter of an hour, and in addition to the more than a hundred steppe men who had been shot dead, the other nomadic men who flaunted their ferocity and wolf nature were strung together with large ropes, and followed the horses in embarrassment, almost better behaved than the lean sheep they raised.
Women and children were also driven into a Mongolian-like Lele cart in a panic, and several oxen and horses dragged all their belongings, and were forced to join the torrent of the Fujian army.
However, the commanders of the two armies who met did not seem to have the joy of victory in the war.
"That's it"
Xue Rengui shouted unwillingly, Wanyan Aguda helplessly took out a piece of dried meat from the cloth bag in his waist, and fed it to Hai Dongqing who was parked on his shoulder, while humming depressedly.
"There is no second tribe within a hundred miles of this group of fools."
"Hey"
couldn't help but Xue Li didn't sigh, his left Wuwei and Guanning Iron Cavalry Left Army were ordered to attack, attacking the grassland for twenty-two days, and as a result, they broke through the small tribe in front of them, and brought back more than a thousand captives, even if the slaves, cattle and sheep were all sold, they couldn't catch up with the salaries of the army these days, no wonder Xue Rengui was so unwilling.
"Otherwise, these cattle and sheep will be slaughtered and made into jerky on the spot, and we will search for a few more days."
If it weren't for the search for the artifact Hai Dongqing in the hands of Wanyan Agu, it is estimated that Xue Rengui would not hesitate to go it alone and lead the army to search in the ice and snow for a few more days, but it was precisely because he knew that this bold and reckless famous general who had not experienced more than ten years of training by the Xuanwu Gate goalkeeper was impetuous, Li Jie deliberately patted Wanyan Agu as a dull guy to him as a partner.
Born in Liaodong Sun family slave, although he has been in a high position in Fujian for many years, deep in his heart, Wanyan Aguta still puts obedience to the king's orders in the first place, looking at Xue Li with a haha proposal, this cold-faced general did not hesitate to turn around and leave with Hai Dongqing.
"Hey, don't go, no, you can lend me Hai Dongqing to play, hey, don't go"
In the depressed shouts of a certain aggrieved general, the two armies pressed the captives and became a rolling torrent, all the way to the south.
North of the Hindu Kush Mountains, the state has changed by this time, and since ancient times, the Persian Empire has never expanded into the cities north of Persia, rising from the cold lands of the north.
Typical Tang people build cities, rammed earth and sandwich walls, and then use blue bricks and boulders to build the outer walls, the circumference is several miles, and the city walls are ten meters high, although there are countless such cities in the vast territory of Fujian, but in the open grassland, this city is particularly magnificent and majestic.
This city is the Fujian in order to thank the allies, for the Qarluq people to build, but also as the Fujian strategy Central Asian steppe bridgehead, the whole city military meaning is particularly strong, every few tens of meters, a towering arrow tower stands at the head of the city, one by one the Min people drive the bed crossbow to guard here, the war together, it is simply a fort.
The city is still built in strict accordance with the pattern of chessboard, the north city is lined with shops, which is used as a market for the intermarket with the Central Asian steppe, and inward, there are a series of dwellings, where the Fujian army defenders and the dignitaries of the Qarluq department all live, and the palace of the Son of Heaven and the central government office are also here.
There is also a six-meter long city wall between the two, only a few city gates are opened for pedestrians to walk, once if the Hu people in the mutual market make trouble, close the north and south city gates, and under the dense tower defense, the Hu people who make a mess are definitely the turtles in the urn.
It's a pity that the magnificent military buildings are not useful, and the mutual market is also deserted, before the expedition, Li Jie did expect the weakness of Belus, but forgot another characteristic of the steppe people, and ran away if he couldn't fight
In the past few months from the dispatch of troops to the north of the Hindu Kush, a large-scale conflict between the 200,000 Min army and the steppe wolves broke out only once, and seeing that things were wrong, Belus also pulled the various allied forces under his command to turn around and leave, and in the next few months, except for the success of the city construction, which was a highlight of this military operation, nothing was obtained.
And that's not all that makes Li Jie a headache.
In the new city of Fujian, the palace of the king of Fujian, and the gorgeous triple eaves compound, a delicate but breathless voice came out sharply.
"It's disgusting, these are all brought out, and the palace doesn't eat them all" to be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendation and monthly passes, and your support is my biggest motivation
