On the road leading from Zhongcao to Dongcao, more than 20 horsemen were hurrying eastward.

This was the four thousand Khorasan religious warriors sent out early in the morning, each equipped with two horses, in order to spread out in all directions and to guard the safety of the army. At the same time, he is also responsible for sentry into the front military situation, and reports the information obtained to Asim, who leads the rear team as soon as possible.

The military situation is urgent, and they followed Ziyad to the camp yesterday. I saw a large number of people moving west, and the Anxi army had already come over. These were all Arabs who had been evacuated early in the morning, as well as a small number of Zhaowu Jiuguo people who had evacuated west with them, and they didn't take it seriously.

However, at a later time, some people fled at night, and the news was that the Anxi army had dispatched a large number of light cavalry and had already killed the Zhongcao country, and the Arabs and Khorasan along the way had no time to escape, and all the men were slaughtered by the Anxi army, and the young women were all looted and robbed, and the fate of them was unknown.

The big cannibal has been rampant in the river for more than ten years, when has he ever suffered such a loss, Anxi dog thief An dares to do this! As soon as they thought that their compatriots and brothers were being slaughtered by the Anxi army, and that their sisters might be in the crotch of the Anxi army soldiers at this moment, these big food soldiers were full of hatred in their chests, and they wanted to kill them immediately, kill all these evil Anxi soldiers, and let them all go to hell. But they never thought about how they treated the people surnamed Zhaowu Jiu when they were rampant in the river. Just last year, they followed and Posilin to slaughter cities everywhere in the river, killing rivers of blood and mountains of corpses, and they never felt that there was anything wrong. Zhaowu nine surnames, can that be regarded as a person?

But now that the Anxi dog thieves dared to slaughter their brothers and annihilate their sisters, they could not stand it at once. After a night of patience, I can finally go to those Anthy dog thieves for revenge. Let them know what will happen to you if you do evil things! Let them know that the Arab Empire is not to be offended. The crimes committed by these Anthy dog thieves will be paid back to them a thousand times today. Not only must we kill all these Anxi troops who invaded the river, but we must also fight all the way to the four towns of Anxi, kill all the men there, rob all the women there, and make the entire four towns of Anxi tremble under the hooves of the Arab war horses!

The hearts of the twenty or so cavalry sentries were full of confidence in all this, and in their eyes, he was omnipotent, and under his leadership, the Anxi army could only end up in pieces.

The only thing that felt wrong was that I didn't meet a few people on the way. And none of the 600 elite sentinels sent out last night came back to report the military situation.

Could it be that the Anxi dog thieves were so unbeaten, and thousands of light horsemen were chased and fled all the way by these six hundred sentry horses? This Tang Dynasty has a great reputation, but it turns out to be the same as the Zhaowu Nine Kingdoms, and it is useless.

From the bottom of their hearts, these Khorasan religious warriors looked down on the people with the surname Zhaowu, but on the contrary, they were very close to those Arab Muslims, and when they heard that they had been killed, they were filled with righteous indignation. In fact, in terms of bloodline and origin, these Khorasan warriors and Zhaowu Jiu are one family.

Most of them were not true Arabs, but Persians, converted to Huda, freed Persian slaves. They have a proper noun, imposed on them by the Arabs, called Mawari. And Posilin was a Mawari. As early as more than 100 years ago, their country was called Sassanid Persia, and their language was similar to that of the people of the Nine Kingdoms of Zhaowu, and their beliefs were the same as those of the Nine Kingdoms of Zhaowu, all of whom believed in Zoroastrianism (that is, Zoroastrianism, Persian Mingjiao).

A hundred years ago, Sassanid Persia was wiped out by the Great Eclipse, and all of them became slaves of the Arabs. After that, the Arabs began to preach to them, and over the course of a hundred years, they gradually converted to Huda, turned away from Zoroastrianism, and embraced YSL. Seven or eight years earlier, they had been Persian peasants, and under the leadership of Posirin, they had begun to organize and plot the overthrow of the Umayyad dynasty of the White-clothed Eaters. They had only been formally formed four years earlier, and under the leadership of Posirin, they fought everywhere and eventually helped the Abbasids and al-Mansur overthrow the White Eaters and establish the Black Eaters. Abbasid became caliph and Posilyn was made governor of Khorasan.

After the establishment of the Black Food, it was not stable, and the Abbasids united with the Shia Muslims to overthrow the White Food. After he became caliph, he suppressed Shiites in turn (the reasons are complicated, and will be explained in later works). The new army brought out by He-Posilin became a good thug of the Abbasids, and then the Nine Kingdoms of Zhaowu in the river rebelled everywhere, so they followed He-Posilin in the river and slaughtered the city everywhere. They have been in a lot of battles for a few years, and they have always been invincible. In the hearts of these young Mawari, they naturally felt that they were invincible in the world.

After galloping for a long time, they slowly slowed down and changed horses. A young Khorasan religious warrior drove his horse to his commander, gasped and asked, "Captain, you said that there were still people coming west this morning, why is there not a single pedestrian on the road now?" ”

The captain of the sentry cavalry wiped the sweat from his forehead and said viciously, "How do I know. I'm afraid that all the Arabs along the road have been killed by the damned Anthy dogs, how can anyone be on the road? ”

"These Anthi dogs who deserve to go to Hell!" The little warrior looked indignant: "Then why didn't you run into them along the way, didn't you say that they came all the way to the west?" ”

The captain snorted and said disdainfully, "There are six hundred of our Arab sentries in front of us, and I think these Anxi dog thieves will only slaughter farmers who are not ready." As soon as we encounter the regular army, we must have seen them from a distance and turned and fled, where can we meet them? ”

"No, I heard a Dong Cao Dehe gan say that the Anxi army is still very powerful. He said that among them was a young man on a red horse with a spear, who could cut through the cavalry of a hundred men with one horse. The little warrior said seriously.

"Dong Cao's Dehegan?"

"Yes, I overheard him talking to someone this morning, and he said that yesterday on his way back he met a troop of Anxi troops, only a dozen horsemen, and then they ran into three hundred Khorasan warriors head-on. In the end, they fought, and the more than 10 cavalry Anxi troops killed more than 100 Khorasan cavalry in one fell swoop, but not a single one of them died. ”

The captain laughed for a moment, and he shouted angrily, "How is it possible? A dozen of them beat three hundred, and they killed more than a hundred of us at once, but they didn't kill a single one. That Dehstem is spreading rumors, he's cursing us, why didn't you arrest him at the time? Send him to General Ziyad and see if he dares to talk nonsense? ”

The people around him also laughed when they heard it, and they started talking. Joke; How can it be; What a lie; How can you believe it?

The little soldier was reprimanded, and was ridiculed by his companions, and suddenly stopped making a sound, and regretted in his heart why he hadn't arrested that man at that time. But he remembered the tone and expression of the man's voice, and it didn't feel like he was lying. He shook his head, trying to get rid of the idea, and kept saying in his heart that the captain was right, that Dehgan must be lying. When I go back this time, I must find that man and arrest him before General Ziyad to punish him!"

At this moment, he suddenly heard one of his companions who was running at the front shouting, "Captain, look...... Look ahead! The voice was full of surprise, what had happened. He struggled to his feet in the saddle, craned his neck and looked desperately ahead.

He saw eight Khorasan cavalry, covered in blood and scurrying in their direction. The eight Arabian horses were already foaming at the mouth, drenched in sweat, and looked like they were going to die of exhaustion on the road at any moment. These eight Khorasan cavalrymen are clearly running for their lives!

By this time, they could already be sure that the other party was the six hundred elite sentinels sent out last night. Why are there only eight people left, and what about the others, are they all killed in battle?

Their captain looked at the sight in amazement, and it took him a long time to react, and with one clamp on the horse's belly, he added two more whips, and rushed quickly towards the eight returning cavalrymen. The other party also found them at this time, their eyes widened one by one, their mouths began to shout, and some of them were weak-willed and couldn't help crying quietly.

"What's going on? Why are the eight of you back? What about the others? The squad leader grabbed a fleeing cavalryman and asked loudly.

The knight was shaken by him in severe pain, baring his teeth and almost dying, but the squad leader reacted and stopped shaking him. He calmed down and said with a cry: "We met the Anxi army, defeated, defeated. ”

"How many Anxi troops are there?" The squad leader said eagerly.

The knight said sadly, "Five hundred, they only have five hundred, and then we fought on the road, the first time there was no victory, and the second time we were all defeated." ”

"Have you fallen into their ambush?" The squad leader still refused to believe it. Six hundred to five hundred, how can you lose, you must have been ambushed, definitely!

The defeated knight shook his head desperately, and said sadly: "No, we found their sentry horse, and then chased after them for five or six miles. Their horses couldn't outrun us, so they simply formed on the side of the road. There are two hedges in total, the first time is not a winner, and the second time you can't beat it. Our El Qayed was killed by them, and then we were defeated, and they began to hunt after us, six hundred brothers, and eight of us survived. ”

"Where did you fight?"

The defeated knight turned his horse's head and pointed to the road just now: "About forty miles ahead." ”

The squad leader finally accepted the reality, he calmed down, and ordered in a loud voice: "Separate the three horsemen and go back, and report the situation to General Asim." The eight of you will hurry back slowly, and Asim will lead the army twenty miles behind. For the rest, follow me on, and go to the battlefield forty miles away to find out what is going on. ”

About an hour later, the twenty horsemen finally arrived at the noon battlefield, and they saw a headless corpse in one place, and a Jingguan. The twenty horsemen suddenly froze in place, chilling all over their bodies, and an indescribable fear made them tremble involuntarily.
