Chapter 57 The noisy night of the Anxi army who fled in a hurry passed, and when the day first dawned, the entire big food camp was busy. When the sun rose, the 8,000 Khorasan religious warriors and more than 10,000 servants of the Nine Kingdoms of Zhaowu had already been fully equipped. Riding on a tall Arabian warhorse, Ziyad glanced at the whole army, then turned to the east with a determined and sharp gaze.

Last night, starting in the middle of the night, we received seven or eight requests for military reinforcements. The situation was similar, either more than a hundred Arab soldiers were trapped in the barn, or a city was besieged, and all of them were besieged by cavalry, but in the middle of the night, they all managed to rush out one or two horsemen to report the news.

Basel Tsema stood behind him, and said with some hesitation: "General Qiyad, the Anxi army is obviously luring us into battle, now their main force is unknown, we only have 20,000 people, easy to attack, in case the enemy has an ambush, is it not to wait until they find their main force and have enough information before making a decision?" ”

"Say no more." Qi Yade turned his head and looked at Basel coldly, and suddenly shouted angrily: "How can I not see that this is the Anxi army luring us to fight, but in this situation, we have to fight, unless we give up the land in the river." ”

Basel looked at Ziad suspiciously, he didn't know why General Ziyad, who had always been smart and wise, would say such a thing. Knowing that it is a plan, you still want to send it to the door? You can wait until you have a clear picture of the situation and you have accurate information before making a decision.

Qi Yade calmed down a little, and his tone softened: "Basel, look at these eight thousand Khorasan religious warriors, and the fifteen thousand Zhaowu Nine Kingdoms servant army. ”

Bassell glanced at the army in front of him, and the eight thousand Khorasan religious warriors were all excited, and their eyes were full of thirst for battle, thirst for revenge; And the fifteen thousand Zhaowu Nine Kingdoms servant army had a complicated expression, his eyes flickered, and there were obviously fluctuations in his thoughts.

The impact of the two total annihilations on the morale of the army has already been revealed, especially on the servant army of the Nine Kingdoms of Zhaowu. They originally had a common hatred and contradiction with the Great Food, just because the Great Food Army was too capable of fighting, and the Zhaowu Nine ** Team was too wasteful. Several times they rebelled, and in the end they were beaten badly by the big cannibals, especially in the last year, and Posilin and Qi Yad were killed in the river with a river of blood, completely killing the people of the Nine Kingdoms of Zhaowu. Judging from this year, all the people surnamed Zhaowu Jiu trembled when they saw the big cannibal, they trembled, they were afraid, and they didn't dare to think about it anymore!

But now it was different, the Anxi army came, and they came to the river under the banner of helping them drive away the big cannibals.

Qi Yade knew that before this, the Nine Kingdoms of Zhaowu had asked the Tang Emperor and the Anxi Army for help no less than twenty times. However, the Tang Dynasty has not taken any actual action because of the Tibetan and post-Turkic reasons, and the people of the Nine Kingdoms of Zhaowu have gradually lost hope in the Tang Dynasty.

Even a few days ago, Dou Zhongjie, the king of Dongba Khan, sent a message to the nine kingdoms of Zhaowu, saying that the Anxi army was coming to the river to help them drive away the big cannibals. These kings of the Nine Kingdoms of Zhaowu, who were beaten by the Great Cannibals, also did not have the slightest confidence. After all, they have personally experienced the power of the Great Food Army; And the Anxi Army, although it is famous, but how effective it is, whether it can beat the Great Food Army, they have no bottom. Although they hated the big cannibals in their hearts, for the sake of their lives and for the sake of safety, they still chose to wait and see for the time being.

If the entire army of the first 600 people was annihilated, it can be explained as an ambush and outnumbered. Then after the four thousand forwards were sent out, they were all annihilated in less than a day, and only chatting about the number of horsemen who fled back had completely explained that the Great Food Army could not defeat the Anxi Army.

The minds of the people of the Zhaowu Nine Kingdoms became active at once, and earlier, the people of the Zhaowu Nine Kingdoms who fled west privately spread everywhere: The Anxi army was all heavenly soldiers and generals, and a team of more than ten people defeated the army of more than 300 people and killed more than half of them; A young general of the Anxi Army, a single horse can chase hundreds of food troops and turn around! At the beginning, these soldiers of the Nine Kingdoms of Zhaowu and Dehegan didn't believe it, but now they are beginning to believe it.

It seems that the Great Food Army is also a little capable of beating our Zhaowu Nine ** team, and now when it encounters the Anxi Army, it will start to eat deflated continuously. The four thousand Great Food Forwards were sent out by them, and they were all in high spirits when they set off, but they didn't expect that only a day later, only a dozen horsemen were left to flee westward in a hurry.

After inquiring about the situation, all the people of the Nine Kingdoms of Zhaowu had collapsed in awe of the Great Food Force.

Of course, Qi Yade was keenly aware of this, and he also knew that at this time, showing weakness to the Anxi army would only make the people of the Zhaowu Nine Kingdoms lose their awe even more. If the people of the Zhaowu Nine Kingdoms rebelled again at this time, the Anxi Army in front would be menacing, and the Zhaowu Nine Kingdoms would set fire to the backyard in the backyard. It is quite possible that the Arab Empire will be driven out of the river at once, run for decades, and be destroyed in one fell swoop!

Basel looked at the fifteen thousand Zhaowu Nine ** team and realized. Qi Yade's cold voice came: "We have lost two battles, these Zhaowu Nine Kingdoms people already know about it, and when they came to ask for help last night, these Nine Kingdoms Hu also saw it." They have lost their fear of us, and if we dare not even save the Arab warriors who are besieged, we are afraid that it will not be long before they turn against us...... Also, these 8,000 Khorasan religious warriors are now angry, if we don't save them, the morale of the army will be lost, and in the future, I am afraid that when the Anxi army comes, who will still have the fighting spirit? ”

Basel nodded: "Ziyad, you are right, then we will defeat these Anxi dogs in person, and let our warriors know that we are still favored by Huda; Let these damn Zhaowu Jiuguo Hu not dare to have any more dissent. I think that the enemy is also the vanguard of the Anxi army, and their Chinese army cannot be so fast! ”

Qi Yade showed a sinister smile, and his eyes were very confident: "I'm not afraid if the Anxi Chinese army comes, this time I brought a secret weapon......"

After the whole army was completed, Qi Yad gave a lecture in front of the formation, indicating that the Arab Khorasan army was blessed and favored by Hu Da, and that Anxi was small and clown-eared, and as soon as the Arab army arrived, it would flee from the wind. Then more than 20,000 troops marched.

After more than half an hour of marching, standing on the saddle, you can already see from a distance the nearest small city surrounded by the Anxi army. The eight thousand Khorasan religious warriors were excited, their eyes showing bloodthirsty desires, and the fifteen thousand Zhaowu Nine Kingdoms servant army had all kinds of calculations in their hearts.

Because of the secret weapon, although Qi Yad was full of confidence in defeating the Anxi army, the total annihilation of the 4,000 strikers in less than a day still made him have to be cautious. He had already sent hundreds of cavalry sentry scouts to open the way seven or eight miles in front, and now he was about to encounter the Anxi army, and he couldn't help but be a little nervous.

He was looking down to figure out what the Anxi army was planning when he heard the sound of horses' hooves coming towards him. When he raised his head, he saw more than ten sentry spies sent out by the cavalry galloping towards him, and shouted loudly from afar: "General, we met the Anxi army sentry in front and fought a battle. Later, when they found out that we were followed by a large army, they immediately got rid of us, turned around and ran. We pursued it all the way to the bottom of the city, and all their four or five hundred besieging cavalry ran away. ”

Qi Yade stepped on the stirrups, stood up and looked to the east and asked, "When they ran, the formation was panicked, and there were other Anxi troops in the surrounding miles?" ”

The captain of the sentry cavalry said: "When they ran, they had no formation at all, and many things were too late to take away. There were no enemy troops to be found for miles, and there was no place to hide and ambush. ”

Qi Yad laughed, waved them to continue to the outpost, he ordered to call Basel, who was pressing in the rear, and after explaining the situation, he ordered: "You lead a thousand Khorasan cavalry and a thousand Kangguo cavalry to pursue ten miles, and if you encounter a large Anxi army to avoid fighting with it as much as possible, immediately send someone to report." ”

Basel said arrogantly: "What's the point of only chasing ten miles, it's better to chase another twenty miles!" ”

Qi Yade waved his horsewhip and said: "Only chase ten miles, if there is no situation, return immediately, chase one more mile, military law is ruthless!" ”

Basel departed, ordered two thousand soldiers and horses to chase in the direction of Anthy's escape. Ziyad and his army soon came to a small town that had been besieged yesterday, a small town with about five or six thousand inhabitants. Because of the original defense against the Turks, a wall more than two feet high was built on all sides.

More than 200 soldiers of the Great Eaters who were surrounded in the city came out, and according to them, it was 500 Anxi cavalry who drove them away and surrounded them. They guarded the west gate with two hundred, the east gate with two hundred, the north and south walls fifty at the north and south, and fifty-four sentry posts. This morning, they had begun to build ladders for the siege, and after they had only finished building two, the Arab army came, and the Anthy thieves immediately ran away in desperation.

Qi Yade frowned slightly, what the hell is the Anxi army, are they really ready to pursue and attack the city under their noses? In any case, the Ansi army did flee as soon as the Arab army arrived, as soon as he said.

The army rested temporarily, and Ziyad rode his tall horse to the front of the battle, pointing to the messy camp of the Anxi army at the western gate of the city. A few half-made siege ladders, all kinds of military items scattered all over the place, a few Anxi troops didn't even have time to take away the captured gold and silver coins, and some even forgot horse material and dry food.

Qi Yade suddenly shouted: "This is the Anxi army, it will only sneak attack the scheming Anxi army, and when they see the shadow of our army from afar, they are so frightened that they run away in a hurry." They still want to fight us for the land in the river, and threaten to drive us away. Great Khorasan warriors, noble Mawaris! These Anxi dog thieves want to rob us of the land in the river, do you promise? ”

Seven thousand people immediately let go of their throats and shouted, "Never agree!" Never say yes! ”

The 14,000 servants of the Zhaowu Nine Kingdoms were startled by this huge roar, looking at these crazy Khorasan religious warriors, many people couldn't help but recall the tragic situation last year, and they were suddenly full of awe for these Great Food Soldiers. It seems that the Anxi army is still not good, why did it panic like this when it met the big food army?

A handful of Zhaowu Nine Kingdoms Dehegan secretly roared in their hearts: "This is our land in the river, not you big food robbers. ”

Ziyad's neck was flushed, his veins bulged, and he roared in the loudest voice: "Then follow me and Emir Posilin to kill them all, so that these 30,000 enemies will not be able to return to Anxi!" Then we will fight to the four towns of Anxi, kill all their men, rob all their women, and make the entire Tang Dynasty tremble when they are afraid when they hear our name! ”

The seven thousand Khorasan religious warriors suddenly became excited, and frantically responded: "Kill them all, kill them all!" ”

This time, the Anxi army fled without a fight, which boosted the morale of the Great Food Army. The servant army of the Nine Kingdoms of Zhaowu began to hesitate and sway again, although they knew that this group of Anxi troops besieging the city was only five hundred, and it was understandable that they were outnumbered and retreated. But the Anxi army is also too embarrassed, the Dashi Chinese army is still seven or eight miles away, and it is completely possible to repel this wave of sentinels and then retreat calmly, but these Anxi troops ...... Scared like this, but it's worse than our Zhaowu Nine Kingdoms!
