As night fell, the shouting on the battlefield gradually stopped.

Towards evening, a group of 4,000 cavalry surnamed Huang suddenly came out of the east gate of Talas, crossed the moat, and turned south. At this time, the south gate was also suddenly opened, and the king of Shi was also a general of the Tang Dynasty (nine years ago, Teller asked for a seal for his son, and the Tang Dynasty worshiped Na Ju Che Shi as a general, and gave a year of money) Na Ju Che Nose Shi led three thousand Shi cavalry to rush out.

Anxi crossbowmen and thousands of auxiliary soldiers immediately abandoned the carts and ladders, fled to the rear in a hurry, and a thousand Mo sword soldiers went out to meet the enemy. Due to the obstruction of the carts, deer, and catapults in front, the momentum of the charge of the seven thousand cavalry fell. After destroying a large number of oars and catapults along the way, they collided with the fierce Modao soldiers and were defeated.

The remaining 4,000 cavalry had to turn around and flee, and 2,000 Qarluq archers and 2,000 Anxi crossbowmen sealed the passage to the south gate. Shi Guo and Tucai Shi had no choice but to flee to the east gate, and Xi Yuanqing led 2,000 cavalry to block the suspension bridge across the river, intercepting and killing, with heavy casualties.

Many cavalrymen panicked, jumped into the moat and drowned, scooped up the captured captured. He Bi, the general surnamed Huang, was stabbed to death by Xi Yuanqing, and the prince of Shi, the prince of Shi, was wounded and captured.

In the big tent of the Anxi Army, Gao Xianzhi looked coldly at the captured prince of Shi, and said lightly: "Then you didn't expect it, right?" ”

"Hmph, since it has fallen into your hands, you can kill if you want to, why talk nonsense?" Na Che Shi glared at Gao Xianzhi angrily, with a look of disdain and resentment.

"That's how you want to die?"

"In the hands of you, a butcher, can you still live?"

More than a year ago, Gao Xianzhi was ordered to attack the Exhaustion Division, and on the way back to the division, at the request of Ning Yuanguo, he attacked Tuozhi City, the capital of the Stone Kingdom. The vice king of Shi Guo (after checking many historical materials, there is no exact record of whether King Shi, who was captured by Gao Xianzhi at that time, was the main king or the vice king, I will set it up casually) Qu Le asked for surrender. Gao Xianzhi promised to reconcile, deceived the nobles and soldiers of Shiguo out of the city, and then sent troops to cover up and kill, and bloody the city, looting the wealth in the city.

"That's because they're damned!" Gao Xianzhi sneered: "Others don't know the reason, don't you know?" Didn't you collude with the Huang surnamed Tuqishi? You gathered the Zhaowu Nine Kingdoms and soldiers who fled here, blocked the trade routes, and plundered the population. Someone has wronged you? Well? ”

Na Ju Che Shi slowly lowered his head, at the beginning, the vice king of Shi Guo was inclined to unite with the Huang surnamed Tuqi Shi to compete with Ning Yuanguo for Talas City, and secretly confront the Tang Dynasty, he and his father did not agree very much.

At the beginning, because twelve years ago, the then vice king Mohe Tutun was canonized by the Tang Dynasty because he sent troops to help the Tang Dynasty attack Broken Leaf City. Their line was also friendly with the Huang surnamed Tuqi Shi, who was in the limelight at that time, and the power of the vice king's line overwhelmed his father Zhengwang Teller. In addition, they just felt a little inappropriate and worried at the time, but they also coveted Talas City.

Taras City is located in the transportation hub of the North Silk Road, the Broken Leaf River is the throat of the North Silk Road, and the Broken Leaf River in the west is the Talas City, from the Taras City to the south, through the Tuozhi City, to the Sama to build and continue forward is the southern route of the Silk Road; If you go northwest from the city of Talas, take the northern route to the famous trade route to Phora (Eastern Roman Byzantium). There was an endless stream of merchants coming and going, and occupying this place was quite a good income just by collecting taxes.

As for what Gao Xianzhi said about the Zhaowu Nine Kingdoms who were attacked by the Great Food and fled here, the soldiers, blocking the trade routes, and capturing the population, Gao Xianzhi was not wrong. In fact, he also looked down on these Zhaowu Jiuguo Hu, and was beaten by the big cannibal so much that he didn't dare to let go of one, and fled here. But when he saw the passing caravan who was weaker than himself, he was fierce and did all kinds of evil. But who told his father and Qu Letutun to also participate in the sharing of the spoils?

Qu Le Tutun's short-sightedness finally brought the disaster of killing himself, and the commercial taxes collected by Talas City and the stolen goods of Hu Xiaojing of the Nine Kingdoms were finally looted by Gao Xianzhi. In the end, it became the armor of the Anxi army, a private horse.

Na Juche Shi reacted suddenly, and suddenly said, "You mean I can live?" ”

Gao Xianzhi smiled: "Otherwise, why would I talk so much nonsense to you?" ”

"Can I trust you?"

"Believe it or not, if you don't take a way to live, you can't complain. There is one meaning, your main king's line is different from the deputy king's line. As long as you cut off contact with the Huang Turks and withdraw from Talas City, I can promise you to save your lives and not blame the past. ”

Na Che Nose Shi fell into deep thought, Gao Xianzhi didn't mean to kill them all, if it was true, this was undoubtedly good news. But at present, they have stood on the opposite side of the Tang Dynasty, and they have gotten on the thief ship surnamed Huang Tuqi Shi and Da Shi, and now they want to withdraw, is it so easy?

In addition, the most important thing is that in the upcoming decisive battle between the Anxi Army and the Great Food Army, it is not yet known who will win and who will lose. Although yesterday's duel between the Anxi Army and the Great Food Army was completely won by the Anxi Army, it was only because Said Ben Humet was too underestimated.

And Posilin and Qi Yad were about to bring their troops over, if they chose to surrender to the Tang Dynasty at this time, but in the end the Great Eclipse won, wouldn't it be self-defeating. But if you don't express your position now, if the Anxi Army wins the battle in the future, whether you will let yourself go is a matter of two words.

It's a hard choice.

Seeing that he seemed to be a little hesitant, Xiao Quzhi, who was lying on the bed, said softly: "Your Royal Highness, I know what you are thinking. I have just come from the southern line of the river, and I have defeated him and Ziyad several times, and our six thousand soldiers and horses have destroyed more than 10,000 Khorasan religious warriors before I came, while our soldiers and horses are increasing, and now there are more than 20,000 of them. If you don't believe me, when the time comes, the army of Great Food will come, and we will fight with them a few more times, and you will know that what I said is true. ”

The car nose Shi showed a look of disbelief, and he noticed that the person lying on the bed and talking had a pair of extremely clear eyes, and the expression on his face was extremely sincere, not as if he was fake, and he already had some belief. Because the combat effectiveness of the Tang Army in the past two days really amazed him, maybe it was really possible.

Xiao Quzhi and Gao Xianzhi exchanged glances, and continued: "Your Royal Highness, I hope to think about it, what will happen if you take refuge in Shi Kingdom?" The other Zhaowu countries were slaughtered and plundered by the Great Eater, didn't you see it? At the beginning, did our Datang collect a tax on a silver coin in this area? If this time we lose and the Great Eclipse wins, will the Great Eclipse continue to allow you to be in this position? Think about it! ”
