Five hundred steps away from the city wall, Xiao Qubing took out the second carved arrow made of golden eagle feathers, and began to slowly adjust his breath to stabilize his mind. Behind him, Gu Xiaojun stepped out of the crowd and rode his horse to stand side by side with him.

Next to the two, Gao Xianzhi held the middle of the horse lance with one hand and held it high. Behind the three of them, more than 10,000 Anxi troops and Tianwei troops also raised their horses, spears, and knives in their hands.

"Gale!" Gao Xianzhi raised his arms and shouted, and then the tail of the horse lance slammed into the ground.

"Gale!" More than 10,000 soldiers sang in unison, and the sound shook the sky, and then more than 10,000 long soldiers slammed into the ground at the same time.

At the same time, Xiao Qubing pulled the sky-shattering bow and began to aim.

On the tower of the city gate, Mansur and Posilin and thousands of black-clad soldiers watched in amazement as more than 10,000 people shouted in unison, and the voices rushed up to the city like a tsunami with a murderous aura, overwhelming everyone out of breath.

It wasn't until Xiao Qu's illness drew the sky-shaking bow and the arrow was aimed at the bottom of the city gate, that Bo Xilin reacted from a stunned state: "It's not good! ”

"What's bad? Could it be that he could collapse the city gate tower with one arrow. ”

"I had a hunch that he could, and when I used Greek fire against him, he drew his bow and aimed at us, and then we were defeated!"

"You told me this, it's because ......"

Before he could finish speaking, under Mulu City, there was a second tsunami-like wind sound from the mountains. This time, tens of thousands of allied troops from various countries also followed the soldiers of Anxi and Tianwei Army, and slammed their long weapons on the ground.

And when Bo Xilin saw Xiao Quai's side, Gu Xiaojun took out a small metal box, and the situation was exactly the same as the previous time. After two or three breaths, Xiao Qu will shoot out the secret weapon given by his master. The last time it was the Greek fire that ignited them, and it exploded into a circle of fire of four or five feet, and the flying sparks spread to a range of more than ten feet. With just one arrow, he killed hundreds of his own soldiers, and at the same time scared his more than 10,000 soldiers and horses to the point of demoralization.

There was no room for much thought, and as soon as Posilin grabbed Mansur and started to run to the side of the city wall, the feeling of being aimed at by Na Xiao with a bow and arrow was too creepy!

Under Mulu City, Gao Xianzhi raised the horse lance in his hand for the third time, and roared with the loudest voice: "Gale! ”

"Gale!" More than 40,000 soldiers roared in unison, but fortunately, these two syllables were not too difficult, and tens of thousands of soldiers from the coalition forces of various countries learned quickly.

On the small platform more than four hundred steps away, Liqisi watched the soldiers of the three armies shouting in unison, Xiao Quzhi and Gu Xiaojun riding horses, in front of all. A huge bow was drawn into a full moon. After three strong winds, Gu Xiaojun stretched out his right hand holding the small metal box. Lizzes couldn't help but squeeze her brother Xerxes' hand, and he said that after three strong winds, the opposite wall would collapse.

After three strong winds, the heavens and the earth seemed to become silent for a moment, and all the people in the city and under the city watched Xiao Quai's illness intently.

Gu Xiaojun used a windproof lighter to ignite the gunpowder fuse tied to the front of the carved arrow, and Xiao Quzhi immediately released the bowstring. "Whew!" With a bang, the carved arrow pierced the air, and the sharp sound of breaking wind came, piercing almost everyone's eardrums.

All the people watched as the eagle flew five hundred paces away at a speed as fast as lightning, and in less than two seconds, it was nailed to the ground at the city gate.

The explosion was followed by an indescribable loud bang that shook the earth, like an earthquake, and the earth trembled. A violent hot wind blew in his face, blowing the robes of tens of thousands of soldiers more than 500 paces away.

All the people stumbled and almost stood unsteadily, tens of thousands of war horses "sneered" and stepped on their hooves restlessly, and the knights were also a little frightened, many of them almost fell off their horses, and many soldiers also had tinnitus.

Looking at the direction of Mulu City again, the entire East Gate Tower had already flown into the air at this time, and the city walls on both sides cracked out many cracks at once, and then collapsed. A large pit with a radius of four or five zhang appeared on the ground at the location of the gate of the castle tower, and the flames that rushed to the sky erupted from below, soaring upward, and finally turned into a black or white smoke rising up.

The city gate tower was swept up by this air current, rolled in mid-air and fell down, and then smashed heavily into the city three or four feet away. More rubble and dust were carried high into the air, and it was a long time before it crackled and fell like a torrential rain.

Xiao Quzhi brandished an ash pole to protect himself and the little red horse in an airtight manner, causing the rubble to crumble. Behind him, tens of thousands of soldiers did not have this ability, and were beaten by the dust and small stones flying all over the sky, and dozens of soldiers were injured by broken stones and small stones.

The entire east city wall of Mulu, within a hundred steps of the city gate tower, there are no people standing. The soldiers on the city gate tower and the collapsed city wall near the city gate tower naturally died on the spot, and none of them survived. Although the one who was a little farther away was still alive, he was hit and fell to the ground, and half of them were shocked or stunned on the spot, and half of them were directly stupid. At this time, their mouths, noses, eyes, and ears were bleeding, and their internal organs were injured by the shock wave.

Further afield, many people fell to their knees with their ears ringing. Everyone was dumbfounded, looking at the direction of the city gate, the city gate tower was lifted up, the flames rose into the sky, black smoke and white smoke rolled up into the sky, and then the bricks and rubble crackled down like a torrential rain.

This is not something that human beings can do at all, only heavenly punishment has such power. Could it be that Na Xiao Quai's illness was really Soshyan of the Persians, who came to persuade us to surrender on behalf of the Great God of Light, but we did not agree, so we suffered heavenly punishment?

At this moment, there was no difference between Hashelin and Mansur and the black-clad soldiers on the other walls, and they knelt on the ground like fools to pray, worship, and beg for forgiveness from Huda or Ahura Mazda. After all, many Persians here have believed in these two religions and two main gods in the past few years.

It was not only the surviving soldiers of the Great Food on the eastern wall of Mulu who prostrated on the ground to worship, but also more than 1,000 followers of Pushang and Liqisi and 2,000 Persian civilians, women, children and elderly people outside the northeast of Mulu City. Although Liqisi had explained before that there would be a lot of movement, a loud noise, and the earth would tremble, they were already mentally prepared.

But when the explosion occurred, these more than 3,000 people immediately knelt down, exhausted their imagination, and they couldn't imagine that the movement would be like this, they were three or four miles away, and they could still feel the shock wave and the tremor of the earth.

Of course, they would not have thought that this was the result of the explosion of more than 1,000 catties of black gunpowder buried under the city gate, they only knew that it was the Suo Shiyan named Xiao Qubing who shot an arrow, and then ignited the flames that soared into the sky, lifting the entire city gate tower into the air...... This is the divine punishment that can only be inflicted by the gods, as the Zoroastrian doctrine says - the comet Gotchhil landed on the earth and ignited a great fire......

This is the punishment of the Great Light God for those who turn their backs on Him! Sosh Yangxiao had already given them a chance to go to illness, and persuaded them to surrender for two consecutive days, if they were persistent again, they would be punished as soon as the time came, but the other party refused to believe it, and now it has finally come true.

For a time, more than 5,000 Persians under the city, as well as all the Zoroastrian and Turkic people who believed in Zoroastrianism, were shocked by the miracle of Ahura Mazda, and knelt on the ground and began to pray. Correspondingly, all these people no longer have any doubts about Xiao Quai's identity, he is the messenger of the mortal world sent by the Great Light God Ahura Mazda, and his savior Soshyan, whose will is the will of the all-knowing and all-powerful God of Light!

The Great Food Soldiers in Mulu City and the other three city walls also heard this earth-shattering loud noise, and saw the city gate tower flying into the air, and a huge pillar of smoke rose high. They had also heard the Anxi army's persuasion to surrender and the prophecy of their divine punishment, was this true? Everyone was stunned and confused.

When the brick and stone debris in the sky fell away, Xiao Quai's spear pointed forward and shouted loudly: "Soldiers of the three armies, follow me to attack!" ”

"Attack!" More than 10,000 Anxi and Tianwei troops responded in unison, although they were also deeply shocked, but one did not believe in Zoroastrianism, and the other was a veteran of a hundred battles, and they did not dare to forget the battlefield discipline at any time, so all of them were ready for battle.

More than 1,000 Mo sword soldiers were in front, and 5,000 crossbowmen were divided into twenty small places under the cover of 1,000 jumping soldiers, and began to march briskly towards the blasted doorway and the collapsed city wall. Behind them, thousands of Anxi Tianwei cavalry lifted a dirt bag that had been prepared a long time ago, roared past the infantry trotting in front, and rushed to the big pit near the original city gate tower, threw the earthen bag into the pit, and then went around to both sides.

Seeing that the pit was about to be filled, Xiao Qu rode his horse in front of the cavalry formations of various countries, and roared loudly: "Now is not the time to pray, listen to my orders, follow me, rush into the city, and kill all the men who dare to resist!" ”

Then no longer waiting, his legs lightly clamped the horse's belly, the little red horse neighed, and crossed the infantry phalanx like a red lightning, overtaking the cavalry in front, and the hind hooves slammed up, and the little red horse rose into the air, jumped high in the air, and directly jumped over the big pit that had not yet been filled, and the horse had already rushed into Mulu City first.

All the Tang troops, at this time, broke out with an earth-shattering cheer, only felt that the blood was boiling, the blood was full of blood, to be able to follow such a hero, invincible fierce generals to conquer everywhere, with the sword in the hand, grab in the hand, kill the enemy to serve the country, make meritorious contributions, invincible, what a luck in this life!

At this moment, Xiao Quai's prestige and status in the Anxi Army and the Western Regions reached its peak at once, and no one could match it. Gao Xianzhi behind the military formation couldn't help but admire, if it wasn't for Xiao Quzhi telling him at the beginning, as soon as this battle was over, he would return to Chang'an, Gao Xianzhi was really a little jealous of him.

Mansur, who was on the edge of the city wall, finally reacted at this time, he quickly got up and kicked dozens of his personal guards with his feet: "Get up for me, the Anxi army is going to attack the city, if you don't want to be killed, hurry up!" ”

"Your Highness, the Anxi army has broken the city, what should we do?"

"Mulu City can't hold it, gather our army and break through from the West Gate."

Mansur and dozens of guards parted the crowd on the ramparts and squeezed towards the stairs. He noticed that he was still staring blankly in the direction of the bombed-out gatehouse, and he knew that he was not a coward, how could he be scared like this. He couldn't help but ask, "Emir, are you stupid?" Why don't you run yet? ”

And Bo Xilin turned his head to look at him, shook his head a little desperately, and said: "It's useless, you can't run out, that Xiao Qu is sick and clever means, all the soldiers think that they have suffered divine punishment, the army is discouraged, and the morale is low...... There must have been an ambush outside the sick city...... We lost, and I lost to him again......"

Mansur was stunned for a moment, he knew in his heart that Posilin was right, he saw with his own eyes that more than half of the soldiers on the city walls and in the city were kneeling on the ground at this time, praying for salvation from the Lord God; A small half of them also watched dumbly, the Anxi cavalry poured into the city like a tide, and everywhere they passed, these stupid standing big food soldiers were either cut down like wooden men, or under the roar of the Anxi cavalry, obediently kneeling and surrendering.

Mansur knew that this breakthrough would be difficult, but he had no choice, he was the younger brother of the Emperor of the Black Eater, and his elder brother, the Black Eater Caliph Abu Abbas, was in very bad health. In a few years, the entire empire will be in his own hands, and he has an incomparably bright future. He still has countless ambitions and countless wishes waiting for him to fulfill. If he is killed or captured alive by the Anxi army, all this will be gone!

Mansur's eyes were red, and he bit his lips, the Anxi cavalry had already rushed over here, and he roared angrily: "Gather the caliphate's guards, let's go, and wait until Kufa gathers the team to kill all these Tang people." ”

Mansour had not fought the Ansey army, so there was a glimmer of hope; However, he judged that the situation was irreparable at the first time, and through the analysis of what the Anxi army had done during this period of time, he vaguely guessed in his heart what the Anxi army wanted to do.

Na Xiao Qu's illness was not to kill all the Great Food soldiers in Mulu City, he seemed to be just to fight the Abbasid Dynasty of the Black Food, so he pushed Pushang and Liqisi to the front, and raised the banner to help Sassanid Persia recover. So in this way, he would not kill all the religious warriors of Khorasan, because they were all Persians. And he has a very high prestige and status among the Persians in Khorasan, maybe there is still a possibility of cooperation between the two sides!

Since there is still the possibility of cooperation between the two sides, there is no need to break the net, and even if he wants to break the net with Xiao Qu now, he can't cause much harm to the Anxi army. It is nothing more than the death of some more people, taking the lives of all the Khorasan religious warriors, and pulling a small number of Ansi soldiers to be buried together, wanting to change the situation of the war, but there is no possibility.

He Posilin knew that the reason why the Khorasan religious warriors were brave and good at fighting was not because they were well trained, nor because they were experienced in combat, nor were they skilled in tactics, but because of their religious zeal, strong will to fight, and courage to fight, and not afraid of death.

But now Na Xiao Qu Sick has destroyed this with a miracle that everyone has seen with their own eyes, although he does not believe that Posilin is killed, this is really divine punishment, but the Khorasan religious warriors below do not see it that way. And Posilin knew that the more pious people were, the easier it was to be deceived, and it was he who was fooled into believing in Hu Da in the first place.

This Xiao Qu's methods are obviously better than his own, because no matter how clever he is, he can't bombard a city tower into the sky, and a section of the city wall collapses. In the past few days, Xiao Qu's illness has almost continuously instilled the Great Light God to the Khorasan religious warriors on the city wall, and he has constantly warned these soldiers that what they are telling is a lie, because of his prestige and convincing power, these soldiers have been temporarily stabilized.

But now the prophecy of the other party has been fulfilled! And in the eyes of all Khorasan religious warriors, this is not something that can be done by man; And he was defeated again and again in the hands of Xiao Quai. And Posilin knew too well what these simple-minded, stupid and simple low-level Persian serfs would think.

This time I'm a big loser!

As he had expected, when the Ansi army entered the city, all the men shouted in Persian: "Oracle of Ahula, those who surrender on their knees are not killed!" "There was hardly any decent resistance. Only al-Mansur with four or five thousand Arab militia and three thousand caliphate guards put up some resistance, also fighting and retreating. The other 10,000 Arab militias were scattered all over Mulu City, and they were all broken and eaten away by the Anxi army little by little. Many of the other Persian-born Khorasan warriors chose to surrender.

"I am the Governor of Khorasan and Posirin, and I am taking me to see Xiao Quai." A team of Anxi Mo swordsmen rushed to the city wall, and Bo Xilin was very honorable, took the initiative to report his identity, and asked to see Xiao to go to illness.

It didn't take long for Xiao Qu's illness to come over on horseback, accompanied by Pushang, the Persian king canonized by the Tang Dynasty, and several earth kings west of the Green Mountains.

"I heard you wanted to see me? I don't know what to advise? Xiao Quai, riding on his horse, saw that Bo Xilin was restrained, did not show much joy, and asked with a faint smile.

The Persian king Pushan translated his words and said, "I do not believe in divine punishment, and I would like to ask you, how did it happen?" ”

After hearing his words, Xiao Quzhi made a small gesture to speak, smiled narrowly, took a small iron box from the saddle of the little red horse and opened it, and Posilin saw that there were four thicker paper tubes and four shorter and thinner ones inside.

Xiao Quzhi said seriously: "Of course this is not divine punishment, this is my punishment for you." This is the treasure that my master gave me, there are twelve in all. Four were used, and eight more. ”

And Posilin's eyes opened to the maximum, and his eyeballs almost bulged out, and he questioned, "But the last two times you were very weak?" ”

Xiao Quzhi blinked, pointed to the large gunpowder tube in the upper right of the box, and then closed the iron box and said disdainfully: "Each power is different, can this one blow up the entire Mulu City to tell you?" ”

Xiao Qu couldn't help laughing, and found that he really had a talent for fooling, talking nonsense seriously, his face was not red and his heart was not beating. How could he possibly tell the truth to He-Posilin and these Western Regions Earth Kings who needed to be intimidated by him.

In fact, the arrow he shot was nothing more than ignition. When he was in the river, he and Gu Xiaojun, Li Ergou and Gao Xianzhi's fifty personal guards rushed to make a batch of black gunpowder. Of course, this time he also used some means like last time, and the formula was not leaked, and the last few processes were completed by himself. After the siege of Mulu, Xiao Qubing took more than 100 people to dig tunnels in his big tent and lead directly to the east gate.

Then more than 1,000 catties of black gunpowder were buried under the gatehouse, and then the passage was firmly blocked. In this way, in addition to the more than 100 people who dug tunnels and buried gunpowder, tens of thousands of others would think that the gatehouse was blown away and the city wall was blown down because of the power of Xiao Quai's arrow.

Hearing Xiao Qubing say that the most powerful arrow could blow up the entire Mulu City, not only did Bo Xilin be stunned, but all the kings of the Nine Kingdoms of Zhaowu and the kings of the small countries near Tocharo were also stunned.
