The city of Hum, where the palace of Sibal Khan was located, was now a gloomy mist, and there was a scene of panic and panic everywhere.

Prince Fu Diyan walked up and down the door of the main hall anxiously, looking out of the hall with anticrative expectations from time to time, and from time to time looking at his father lying on the sickbed in the palace, King Misabao of Siba Khan.

Futiyan was the only nobleman of Siba Khan who had not been injured the night before. That night, Misabao, who learned that the Great Eclipse was going to send troops to help defend the city, had to bring a group of ministers to the city gate to greet him. As a result, when he entered the city gate, he was attacked by two Tang army scouts, his father King Misabao was shot and wounded, and the Great Food Cavalry Gaid was killed on the spot. What's even more terrifying is still to come, but in less than twenty breaths, the ministers and nobles of Siba Khan here have been killed cleanly.

After that, the Great Eclipse cavalry went to intercept the opponent, and was killed by the opponent more than sixty times; Two hundred Great Eclipse Ourds pursued him, but he also came back disgraced, and he counted them, and lost more than forty Great Eclipse cavalry.

Fu Diyan lost his heart at once, he had never seen such a brave and fierce warrior, only two people, and he beat three hundred food knights without a little temper. If the Tang army is like this, then there is no need to fight this battle. It's useless for the big food reinforcements to come, the Tang general on a red horse, and sixty or seventy big food cavalry hedged, and killed more than half of them, and the big food reinforcements can only send them to death!

Now the king of Sibalhana was seriously wounded, and the ministers were dead and wounded, and the burden of a thousand pounds was on his shoulders at once. But he was just at a loss, completely out of idea. He wanted to run away with his family's treasures, but his father was now seriously injured and lying in bed, and he was upset by the crying and crowing of a group of women in the house. This made him unable to make up his mind for a while. I stood here stupidly all day, as if waiting for fate to come.

Just yesterday morning, many Dehegan and wealthy businessmen began to run out of the city with their families to help the old and the young. This caused panic throughout the city, and the Great Eclipse cavalry took the opportunity to take over the army of Humbo City. They ordered the four gates to be closed and the riots suppressed, and no one was allowed to leave the city without their orders, including him, the prince of Sibakhana, Futiyan.

I can't run if I want to!

It wasn't until dawn today that Prince Fu Diyan sobered up a little, and hurriedly found a few leaders of the Great Eclipse Cavalry, who were less than two hundred, to inquire about the situation. But he was only told that he had already asked for help from Samad Jiancheng, and the Great Food Cavalry would soon arrive; At the same time, dozens of scouts were also sent to the direction of Thirsty City to investigate the military situation of the Anxi army, asking him to go back and wait for news.

Seeing a Tuojie (a noble soldier in the river) running from a distance, Fu Diyan hurriedly greeted him: "What's the situation?" ”

This Tuojie was one of the two Tuojie who Fu Diyan stayed with the Great Cannibal to inquire about the news, and he looked flustered and stammered a little when he spoke: "Prince, the situation, the situation is not good. The big cannibals won't send troops! ”

"What?" Fu Diyan's face was full of disbelief, stunned, stunned for more than ten seconds, he grabbed the shoulder of the tuojie with a trembling hand, and said eagerly: "You tell me in detail what you have learned." ”

The Tuojie recalled, presumably organizing the vocabulary, and wiped his sweat: "I pretended not to understand Persian, and they didn't carry me behind my back. I saw that they kept sending out horsemen and scouts, and the scouts sent out to the east never returned. The horsemen sent west came back several times, and the news they brought back was not very good. The Great Cannibal is still gathering an army and doesn't know when it will come. But just now, a group of horsemen brought the latest news, and the Qiyad of Samadjian ordered the assembled army of Dashi and the army of Zhaowu Jiu to go to the state of Zhongcao to rob Butana (about today's Jizzak) and build fortifications there to resist the attack of the Anxi army. The Great Cannibal has given up on us! ”

Fu Diyan's face suddenly turned pale, and there was no blood on his body. His hands and feet were shaking, and he couldn't stand anymore, and he almost collapsed to the ground, thanks to the Tuojie who quickly held him up. Fu Diyan was completely frightened, he couldn't say a word, and after a while, he finally cried aggrievedly: "God's damn cannibal, don't let Lao Tzu run, now you have to run first!" ”

Fu Diyan cried earth-shatteringly, and the ladies who served and took care of Misabao in the main hall were also frightened and cried. The maidservant outside the hall couldn't figure out what was going on, and looked this way blankly. All of a sudden, the entire palace of Siba Khana shook the sky with cries, chickens and dogs jumping.

However, the tragedy did not end there, and just as Misabao was awakened from his coma by the noise, and Fudiyan came to his senses and was hesitating to tell his father the news, worse news followed. Another Tuojie, who inquired about the news, hurriedly ran over: "The prince is not good, the army of the Anxi army has arrived ten miles away from Hushu City!" ”

……

At the same time, the city of Samad was founded, and all the high-ranking generals of the black-clad Dashi River, except for Said bin Humet, who was ordered to rush to the city of Talas, were gathering to discuss the military situation.

"The information I have obtained so far is that Gao Xianzhi dispatched a total of 20,000 Anxi troops, 8,000 Qarlu mercenaries, and 6,000 Dongba Khana mercenaries this time. According to my estimate, if the news that the other side is going to attack Siba Khana is true, it is almost at the city of Humbo at this moment. We just want to save it, but it's too late. Ziyad ibn al-Saari, the first general under the command of Posirin, stood in front of a wooden map depicting the terrain of the river with a handful of **, and first introduced.

And Bo Xilin nodded: "Gao Xianzhi threatened to break through Sama Jian this time, and fight all the way to Capture and Drink City. My response was to build fortifications on the forty-mile-long Grand Canyon behind Butanna, where General Abda and I led 10,000 elite soldiers of the Khorasan headquarters, 20,000 Sogdian servants, and 5,000 Syrian mercenaries; General Ziyad commanded 10,000 Khorasan religious warriors and 30,000 Sogdian servants to camp in Sirdaria, northeast of Zabtana. Just wait for Gao Xianzhi to attack for a long time, cover up from the rear, and he will not be able to return! ”

General Abda touched the short beard on his chin, thought for a while, and said, "The emir (the title of an official in the Arab region, equivalent to the governor of the province, the governor) is very clever, if Gao Xianzhi comes, he will definitely be captured." But if Gao Xianzhi wants to attack Samajian, this is just fake news to confuse us? What if he only came to attack Humbo City, but the main force had already secretly rushed to Talas City? ”

He Posilin said with a smile: "I have ordered Sayyid bin Humed to lead 8,000 Khorasan headquarters soldiers to immediately rush to Talas City to help defend the city. In addition to the 10,000 stone ** team and the 10,000 Jiuguo Hu army that were scattered in the Broken Leaf River, there are 30,000 Tuqi Shi cavalry in Broken Leaf City who can reinforce Talas at any time. As long as Talas can hold out for two to three days without being breached, Qi Yad's 40,000 troops will be able to arrive, and when the time comes, it will still be attacked inside and outside, and Gao Xianzhi will still be defeated! ”

He looked around at the generals and said slowly: "This battle is a crucial battle to determine the ownership of the rich land in the river. The other side has only 34,000 men, while we have 133,000, and we can recruit more religious warriors at any time. Four against one, so we can't lose. At present, there are only two points that need to be paid attention to: first, the information should be timely and accurate; First, we must always be on guard against the servant army of the nine kingdoms of Zhaowu, and their king's family must be taken care of. ”

He paused, his gaze was north-east, and his eyes flashed with a frenzied light: "Capture this king of the mountains alive for me!" ”

And when Po Silin was confident that he would capture the king of the mountains, Gao Xianzhi, we do not know whether his information was timely and accurate; However, the second crucial point he made had already gone wrong.

At about the same time, Xiao Quai's group was taking the family of King Kangguo to hide in Tibet, and cautiously fled to the city of Xibahan.
