Chapter 117: Three Gale

Gao Xianzhi led more than 60,000 allied troops from various countries to cross the Wuhu River and besiege Mulu City, immediately setting off a whirlwind of the god of light, Ahura Mazda, in the whole of Khorasan, especially in the eastern part of Khorasan.

The whole of Khorasan has not been at peace, since more than 10 years ago, the northern Arab Haris rebelled in Barihei, Khorasan East County, until two years ago, there has been constant war. First, Harris fought with the last Governor of Roshan, Nasr, and then by the Arab northerners of Harris and the Arabs of Zhu Dayi, and then there was a three-way scuffle.

At that time, most of the local Khorasan Persians were serfs, and the Arabs fought with immortals, and these Persian serf imps suffered, but they were the ones who died the most. Fortunately, more than four years earlier, he had risen to prominence and united the suffering Persian peasants with great eloquence, resourcefulness, and affinity, and took advantage of the civil strife among the Arabs to seize the city of Mulu in one fell swoop.

Later, the Khorasan group, which consisted of Persian serfs as war soldiers and Persian nobles in exile as administrative officials, made great progress, overthrowing the white-clothed people and propelling the Abbasids to the position of caliph.

After that, the life of the local populace in Khorasan was only two years better, and most of the Persians regarded him as a savior. But who would have thought that not long after the peace, the news came that their savior, their god of war and Posilin, had been wiped out in the river. Immediately afterwards, more than 60,000 allied troops led by the Tang Anxi Army marched to Khorasan.

Because many of the adult men of Khorasan had been killed in the unrest of the previous decade or so, most of those who survived had returned to Heposilin. After that, these Khorasan religious warriors became the backbone of the emperor's affairs and were stationed in various places. At this time, except for the more than 10,000 soldiers and 20,000 people guarding Mulu, there were almost no adult men around Mulu.

Just when these local women, children, elderly, and half-grown children were ready to take up arms and hoes to defend their homes. What they didn't expect was that these people claimed to have come to save the Persians, and they had come to Khorasan to help Sassanid Persia recover; Help all Persians rebuild the faith of Ahura Mazda, the god of light!

Zoroastrianism is the Persians' own religion with a history of more than 2,000 years, and Ahura Mazda, the god of light, is still the sole presiding god of most old people. Even half of the Khorasan religious warriors who had already followed Huda had practiced Zoroastrianism four years earlier.

This coalition of countries led by the Anxi Army did not burn and loot wherever it went, but did good deeds everywhere. In many villages, where men in the prime of life had either been killed by the Arabs in previous wars or had taken refuge with Posilin and become Khorasan religious warriors, many families were home only with women, children, and the elderly. Some of the heavy work was not done, such as the house was broken and no one repaired it, and these soldiers even helped the locals to repair the houses, and even gave food and money to the destitute people.

In addition to this, this army was accompanied by more than 3,000 pure Persians. Everywhere he went, he proclaimed the glory of the Persian Empire for two years, denouncing the brutality of the great cannibalism for more than a hundred years; Ahura Mazda, the god of light, is the only god who knows all, is all-powerful, benevolent, and benevolent. And Posilin was defeated because he turned his back on Ahura Mazda, the god of light......

At this time, the local Persian civilians were stunned, it's not that they didn't understand, the world is changing too fast!

Hassan, a fourteen-year-old Persian boy in eastern Khorasan, was left with his mother, grandmother and younger brother after his grandfather and father were killed by Arabs in white clothes. Because no one went to the army, his family did not enjoy the benefits brought by the black clothes and food, and belonged to the poorest family living in the lowest class, and his life was almost unsustainable.

To add insult to injury, this time he returned to Mulu and requisitioned more than half of their village's food to defend the city, declaring that the Ansi army was a group of demons from hell who would kill them all when they came to Khorasan. The food is gone, the demons are coming, but their own army can't defend them, and when they pick up their hoes and prepare to fight with the Anxi army, they find that it is not the case at all.

Far from killing the local villagers, this group of Anxi soldiers can be said to have committed no crimes, and there was a beautiful sister in white who brought a sheep to their family and brought a dozen naan cakes to their family. Hassan couldn't understand why his grandmother would bow down to her beautiful sister in white and pray with all her might, and tears of excitement flowed down her face. Is it because of this one sheep and a dozen naan cakes? Yes or no, he heard his grandmother call the beautiful sister princess and the holy maiden, and kept saying that the god of light blessed.

The Great God of Light? It seems that grandma secretly prayed when no one was around, and the beautiful sister was the god sent by grandma to save us?

Similar events took place in many different parts of eastern Khorasan at the same time, and after seven or eight days, the number of people behind Liqisi had increased by 2,000. Most of them were women, children, and old people, including a blind poet in his nineties, who, like Hassan, followed Liqisi to witness how the betrayal of Ahura Mazda, the god of light, and Posilin were defeated by Soshyan, who had been sent by the god of light.

The time was more than eight o'clock in the morning, and Xiao Qubing rode a little red horse to look at Mulu City, which was two or three miles away, and also looked at the dense Anxi coalition army outside Mulu City. He had just ridden his horse and galloped around Mulu City to inspect the entire battlefield, and he saw Liqisi leading more than 3,000 people to stand on a higher flat ground in the northeast of Mulu City.

Xiao Qu drove the horse over, and after greeting her grandfather and brother, he came to her side and jumped off the warhorse.

"Lisis, the battle is about to begin, and there will be a lot of movement, a loud noise, and the earth will tremble. Your side is full of women, children, and the elderly, please tell them not to panic and stay calm when the time comes. With the protection of the army, you will be very safe! ”

Liqisi nodded, with a smile on her face: "Got it, I'll tell everyone and take care of them." ”

In the past few days, Litz has been running around, busy preaching, communicating with the local Persians, and then taking care of the 2,000 women and children who have followed. The whole person is obviously a little haggard, but the spirit is very good. After a busy morning, her sideburns were a little messy.

Xiao Quzhi helped her fix her hair casually, and said, "You don't have to work too hard, you can leave more things to that Khalid Balmak to do." He is a very capable person who can be reused, but at the same time he cannot relax his grip. ”

Liqisi's face was slightly red, and she quickly nodded after a while. After explaining the matter, Xiao Quzhi turned around and rode on the little red horse, raised his hand and prepared to leave.

"Wait a minute......"

"What's wrong?" Xiao Quzhi turned his head to look at her, and wanted to laugh.

"Wait a minute, don't rush too hard, don't get hurt!" Lizzie raised her head and said softly.

"Got it, I won't get hurt this time." Xiao Quzhi smiled softly, took off the heaven-shaking bow and raised it: "Wait for me to capture him alive." ”

Xiao went to get sick and left, and Hassan ran over: "Sister Saintess, that majestic general, is the Soshyan you said?" ”

"Yes, he is Soshyan who has come to save all the Persians. In a few moments, he will defeat the god of light and Posilin, who has turned his back on the Great Light. ”

"But in Mulu City, where the walls are so high, how can he defeat him?"

"I don't know, but I'm sure he can." Liqisi remembered Xiao Quai's instructions: "He wants me to tell you that there will be a lot of movement when you wait......"

The news that Mulu City must have been broken today has been released, except for a few people, although the more than 20,000 Anxi Tianwei Army and the Gelulu Army do not know how to break it, they are all the same, they are convinced of this, and they are preparing to break through the city and fight street battles at the moment.

In contrast, the 40,000 allied forces of various countries are very skeptical. The first suspicion is to solve the Su Guo Ye Hu, what are you kidding, after two days of fighting, I haven't seen any progress, Mulu City is well defended, and the soldiers defending the city are all there, how can you say that you will break it!

"How is that possible? Are you kidding! ”

"I'm also surprised, Gao Dashuai and Marquis Xiao said that they would definitely break through Mulu City today, but they didn't even have a cloud ladder, a siege tower, or a siege vehicle? Shall we climb this wall with our hands? The king of the Protectorate chimed in.

"Why bother with this, what Gao Dashuai and Marquis Xiao want us to do, we just do it." This is the voice of the king of Dongcao.

"Do you know how he broke through?" King Kang asked aggressively.

"I don't know, but I know that Marquis Xiao is a person who does what he says, he said that if he can break the city today, he will definitely be able to break the city today. Just wait and see! ”

"You just believe in him like that?"

"Of course, I'm convinced, don't forget, he's our Soshyan!"

"Where the hell do they get their confidence?" The same problem also occurred in Mulu City.

The battle has been fought for two whole days, and the Anxi coalition army has adopted the method of encircling three and missing one, and the regiments have surrounded the eastern, northern, and southern gates of Mulu City. The only progress in the past two days was to fill in the ditch on the east side under the cover of a strong bow and crossbow, and to fill in a passage at the south and north gates facing the city gate.

Mulu City is firmly in the hands of the Great Food Army, the brick and stone wall is more than five zhang high, wide and strong, when the rebel Harris Chen soldiers attacked Mulu with 50,000 or 60,000, Nasr only used more than 10,000 to defend. Now there are more than 60,000 soldiers in Mulu City, and there are 20,000 people, and the grain and grass are enough to last for half a year. Mansur really couldn't figure out how the Anxi army could break through Mulu City in a short period of time, Mulu City was not Talas City!

However, the Anxi coalition army under the city seemed to be full of confidence in this, and from the first day of the battle, every time it was time to rest, it sent hundreds of Persians to shout together, giving them an ultimatum to surrender the city.

Today is the last day.

"Your Highness, I think it may be their secret weapon, which is called the Five Thunder Heavenly Heart Fa-rectification." It's been almost a month since he last vomited blood, but Posilin's illness doesn't seem to be curing yet, and his face is very pale on a hot day.

"Five Thunder Heavenly Heart Rectification? What is this? ”

"It was brought by that Xiao Quai, I heard his entourage say that he was originally an immortal disciple, and he specially went down the mountain to help Gao Xianzhi. The Five Thunder Heavenly Heart Fa was the treasure given to him by his master before going down the mountain, and the man told me that there were three arrows in total, and they would explode when shot, and I had seen them twice, and I should have used this to defeat Ziyad and Abel in Talas. ”

"Doesn't that mean all three arrows were shot?"

"Maybe the retinue lied, but there were four arrows, or more."

"Amazing?"

"The two times I've seen it with my own eyes are not very powerful, the first time ...... You can call Yuanen over and ask. ”

Without waiting for Yuanen to come, the siege of the Anxi army below began. All 10,000 Anxi infantry were dispatched, with crossbowmen in front and Mo sword soldiers and jumping soldiers behind. Powerful crossbows, eight-oxen crossbows, catapults, all long-range weapons slammed into the city. After a quarter of an hour, the attack stopped, and all the infantry retreated more than a hundred paces.

In three directions, more than 40,000 troops began to line up. Gao Xianzhi and Xiao Quzhi rode two sweaty and bloody horses, running back and forth in front of the eastern position, indescribably high-spirited and energetic.

Whether under the city or on the city wall, everyone's eyes followed the two, except for the war horse kept snorting with its front hooves, tens of thousands of soldiers, no one dared to make a sound, the man was majestic, but he could be here.

"Soldiers, what are we doing when we set out from Anxi, climb over the mountains, cross the Hanhai, and fight for more than 6,000 miles? In order to protect the family and defend the country, and be rewarded for meritorious service! I can tell you that we have won today's battle.

Soldiers, the time has come for you to make meritorious contributions, this Mulu City has more gold, silver and jewels than Samat built the city! After today's battle, we will return to Anxi with these gold, silver, jewelry, and the head of General Dashi. The 2,000 people who have made the most meritorious contributions will take you back to Chang'an Taimiao to offer prisoners, and you will go to the royal street to boast about your merits! ”

This is Gao Xianzhi's pre-war speech.

"Destroying the enemy is sharp, turning the tide is down, and there is nothing more happy in life than this! Less than two years after the rise of the Black Clothes Food, the spirit is flourishing. Under the city of Talas, with less than 30,000 troops, we broke through the army of tens of thousands of black-clothed people. Today, we will break through Mulu City again and capture alive the black-clothed governor of Khorasan and the emperor's younger brother.

This will be a feat comparable to Li Weigong's breakthrough of the Turks and Xue Rengui's subjugation of Goguryeo. Today is a day that can go down in history, let us write the legend of heroes with the blood of our enemies. Many years later, when you are old, you can proudly tell your grandson how heroic his grandfather was!

Now, the whole army shouted with the tall commander, after three strong winds, the opposite wall will collapse, everyone rush into the city with me, and kill all the enemies who dare to resist! ”
