Chapter 65: I didn't expect it
In the early morning sun, and Posilin and Ziyad stood silently on the outermost wall.
The two hundred and fifty elite Khorasan cavalry sent out late last night, including one hundred of the guards of Ho Posilin, have not yet returned. Both of them had a bad premonition in their hearts, could it be that they were ambushed by the Anxi army again? It shouldn't be!
A sentry hurried back to the camp, saw the two men from afar, and before he could reach he shouted: "Emir, General Ziyad, are back, they are back!" ”
The two people on the wall couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, there was finally news, whether it was bad news or good news, it was better than hanging it all the time.
"Tell Faris to come to the Chinese army's tent to see me, and the others will go to rest first." Faris was the captain of the personal guard of the Poselin Poselin.
"Emir, Captain Farris...... Already...... Already dead in battle. ”
And Posilin was stunned on the spot, Faris was his countryman, his bare-ass companion since childhood. The two grew up together, went to prison together, were sent together to Khorasan to plot against the Umayyad dynasty, charged together, and crossed the river together. The two were called master servants and were actually brothers, and Faris had saved the lives of He Posilin on the battlefield many times, and was the one he trusted the most.
This trust is not only because of Faris's incomparable loyalty, but also because Faris's courage and thoughtfulness are incomparable, and nothing that is given to him is broken. How many times have Faris and his more than 100 guards fought in Khorasan, in Damascus, in Syria, and among the armies, and have not suffered a single serious wound, and each time he has been able to turn evil into good fortune, and Posilin is convinced that he is favored and blessed by Hu.
But now, Faris, who was favored and blessed by Hu, is dead.
"How did he die? How could he ...... dead?"
“…… He was stabbed in the throat by a Tang general...... The body was two or three miles to the east......"
And Posilin's heart trembled uncontrollably, and he came down from the wall in a somewhat staggered manner, and rode his horse to the east. Behind him, Ziyad led hundreds of relatives to follow without saying a word.
Soon he saw the body of Faris, who was lying quietly on a stretcher made of several spears. The body was clean, there were no signs of a fight, and the only wound was a fatal wound in the throat, which was actually stabbed in the throat with a spear in the face. The wound was a finger long into the flesh, the laryngeal bone was shattered, the cervical vertebrae were injured, and the head was tilted.
And Posilin glanced at the more than 100 gray-faced elite Khorasan soldiers, and the muscles on his face twitched: "What the hell is going on?" They have an ambush? ”
A guard crouched on the ground and replied: "No, there are only four people from Anxi dog thieves." ”
And Posilin was stunned for a moment, he couldn't believe it at all, how could four people beat you like this, even Faris was killed in battle.
"How is that possible? Tell me what happened! ”
"At that time, we had already laid an ambush, Kang Pancheng and the four Anxi dog thieves had been talking secretly for a long time, and the extension of Kang Panchen came to report that the person who came to the joint in Anxi was actually the deputy envoy of the four towns of Anxi, and there were only four people in total, so we decided to do it directly...... It turned out that they had already prepared, and the deputy envoy of Anxi Jiedu, who was riding a bloody horse, opened the way in front and broke through our encirclement at once...... He had a spear, covering the front and back, left and right from wind and rain, but there were those within two feet of his body, all of whom were stabbed in the throat by a shot...... After the Tang general left one person behind, the other three escorted the injured Kang Panqian to escape......
Faris ordered not to pursue the four who fled, but to kill or capture alive the deputy envoy of Jiedu, and we surrounded him and fought for a long time, but we could not kill him. Later, he seemed to be exhausted, and we were overjoyed, but then he broke through again. Captain Farris, believing that he had no strength, ordered a desperate pursuit, but the other party's sweaty BMW ran too fast, and suddenly pulled away, and from a distance, the man fell crookedly on the horse, as if he was about to fall off the horse at any moment. Captain Farris's horse was fast and finally closed the distance, but when the two were less than ten feet apart, the cunning Anthy dog thief suddenly grabbed the horse, turned around, and stabbed Faris to death with a single shot......
It turned out that he didn't have any strength at all, but deliberately used it to lure the enemy, and he was alive and well until the end...... Later, he stopped and led us in pursuit, but whenever he came closer, he turned around and shot again, and we pursued for more than ten miles, and he killed thirteen people, and then he had no choice but to return. The Anxi dog thief is too cunning and too brave. ”
The guard finished the whole story, and the eyes of the audience widened in disbelief. How can it be? The solo rider was besieged by hundreds of Khorasan's most elite warriors for more than half an hour, not only did not hurt a single hair, but became more and more brave the more he fought, and his strength was inexhaustible. Is this still human?
And Posilin slowly turned his gaze to the east, as if he wanted to see with his own eyes through the hundred-mile stratus clouds, the deputy envoy of Anxi Jiedu who had killed Faris. He pondered for a long time, and according to the information he had, he had never heard of such a person.
And, as far as he knew, the deputy envoy of Anxi Jiedu had not been set up for several years. When Fumeng Lingcha was the envoy of the four towns of Anxi, Gao Xianzhi was the deputy envoy of the Jiedu, and later Gao Xianzhi replaced Fumeng Lingcha as the envoy of the Jiedu because of his merits, and the deputy envoy of the Jiedu has not been set up. Every time Gao Xianzhi went on an expedition, he appointed Feng Changqing as the queen of Jiedu and stayed in Anxi. After the festival is stayed, it is equivalent to the deputy envoy of the festival, is this person Feng Changqing? It's not right, Feng Changqing is sixty years old this year, but the other party is a young general who looks less than twenty.
And Po Xilin retracted his gaze and found the Zhaowu Nine Kingdoms in the team, this person should be the Tuo of Kang Pan, who was bribed by Qi Yad: "When they were talking secretly, you were beside you?" ”
The Tuojie replied in a whisper, "Yes." ”
"Tell me about the situation."
At the same time, Xiao Qu was sick and rode alone on the way back to the camp. He didn't know that he had stabbed to death the captain of He's personal guard, Brother Life and Death, all he thought at the moment was that the people of the Nine Kingdoms of Zhaowu were too unreliable.
This time, Xiao went to Kangpan to meet before he was ill, in order to connect with Kang Xuanhao through Kangpani, and tell him that his family had been rescued by the Anxi army, hoping that he and the other kings of the nine kingdoms of Zhaowu would see the situation clearly, abandon the darkness and turn to the light, and be able to fight back at a critical time, and cooperate with the Anxi army to defeat Dashi.
Originally, things were going very smoothly, and it was on behalf of King Kangguo and several other kings that he came to negotiate with the Anxi army about surrender. Both sides are also very cautious, who knew that a Tuojie who had been with Kang Pan for five or six years would betray his master and have long been bought by the big cannibals.
From this, it can be inferred that the other kings of the Nine Kingdoms of Zhaowu, or those Tujie around Dehgan, must have also been bought. For a while, it was difficult to find out the spies of these sellers seeking glory. Equal to all the kings of the Nine Kingdoms of Zhaowu and the important Dehgan are under the surveillance of the Great Cannibals.
Now it seems that it is almost impossible to secretly contact the upper echelons of the Zhaowu Nine Kingdoms and plot against them? If so, the Anxi army will have to face an enemy several times its size. Even though some advantages have been achieved now, in the long run, once the labor teacher is outside, once it is frustrated, it will change for a long time, and it will still end up like another time and space, and end up with a fiasco.
It seems that I still underestimate the means of cannibalism.
When he returned to the Anxi army camp, after listening to the report of the backing master, and Bo Xilin thought about it for a long time, and decided not to wait for the follow-up 40,000 Arab militia to arrive, and now immediately send troops to attack the Anxi army camp a hundred miles away.
