Chapter 0637. Assassinated on the street, all over the line...
The tension of the war condensed on the head of the Fujian army, and even Li Jie was ready to sacrifice thousands of dollars in exchange for this fortress, a big city with a population of more than 200,000, but the result was such a dramatic 'sexual' ending, just 'shooting' a row of crossbows, throwing 'shooting' a few barrels of oil, persuading Basra to surrender several times and shouting for desperate resistance .......
The soldiers are not bloody, and the Fujian State took this place, which made the soldiers of the left leading army who were originally ready to throw their heads, sprinkle blood, and fight bloodily to obtain military merits and status.
However, Li Jie was not happy to take the city, Basra surrendered so easily, not because the Fujian army was so scary with blue faces and fangs, but in fact, the main force of Basra's defending army was almost completely requisitioned.
There were many banners of the Arab Empire in the city, but in fact, the defenders were extorting the common people as a top trick, and the 'Bo's infantry' requisitioned from the poor class, the Arab army and the main force of the 'Bo' people, and at least 30,000 defenders of the Islamic Azadan knight class were evacuated.
Li Jie doesn't care at all about the battle for each city and the place, who can resist the fire 'medicine' in the siege of the city, and the competition for one city and one place is not so much scheming and 'flowery', and the fight is strength, but now that Fujian has invaded the Arab hinterland for half a month, it has not even fought a decent big war, and all the main Arab armies have retreated, just like a poisonous snake peeping at the vicinity, which is uncomfortable.
And especially looking at the people of this city, the hatred and hostility of the Basra people who were hiding on both sides of the street through the cracks in the 'doors' could not be concealed at all, as the army stretched out from the outside.
"Why don't you surrender after three days of persuasion?"
The fat man who had just surrendered out of the city was a merchant on the Silk Road, who had run through Fujian and Chang'an, so the defenders of Basra elected him as the envoy of surrender, and after entering the city, the fat man was also allowed to follow Li Jie on foot, which would listen to Li Jie's unhappy hum, and the fat man's beard was wet with greasy sweat, if it wasn't for Li Jie not stopping, he would almost kneel on the ground.
"Your Highness, Your Highness's forgiveness of sins, it's all the great 'Mao' Rahamaiti, no, it's all the trouble caused by the traitor Ahmaiti, before leaving Basra City with the Arab dogs, he ordered the elders of the mosque to come out and take an oath oracle, saying that the Min Heavenly Army is an evil army sent by the devil Ibrahim, and the Muslims under the rule of the Min State will be contaminated with impurity, so the foolish people are afraid to resist His Royal Highness's Heavenly Army."
"Then why did you surrender when you attacked the city alone?"
Speaking of which, the fat merchant of 'Bo's became timid and depressed again, and the already non-fluent Tang became even more stumbling.
"Yes, it was His Highness's divine fire that was too powerful, and the foolish people felt that it was even more powerful than the fire of Hellfire, and they were frightened, so they quickly surrendered."
Li Jie was noncommittal when he heard it, and the Zanpo who was escorting him snorted disdainfully: "It turns out that your gods are not so powerful, and you are also afraid of death?"
Scratching the back of his head in embarrassment, the merchant bowed his head depressedly and didn't make a sound, Li Jie didn't continue to ask anything, and walked forward slowly on a horse in silence, the horse king and the second dog of the grassland were already very old at this time, and they still seemed to be sensitive to the indifference and hostility of the city, and they snorted disdainfully along the way, and the goal of the Min Kingdom and his party was the 'Bo' Palace in the center of the city.
Although unified under the banner of the Sassanid Empire, the 'Bo' people were actually not as unified as those of China, and under the command of the 'Bo' Shah Khanshah, there were still relatively independent kingdoms of large and small, and after Islamization, these royal palaces were also retained as the palaces of Arab governors.
However, just halfway through the dreary, there were suddenly more than a dozen 'Bo' people at the crossroads kneeling on the street to block the way, led by a child, dressed more gorgeously, holding a clay basket on his head, the basket was full of dates, melons and fruits and smoked cakes, and the rest of the people also brought a lot of food specialties, looking at this scene, Li Jie couldn't help but raise his eyebrows in surprise, and the fat 'Bo's merchant hurriedly trotted to the front, and asked in a tangle with a stomach of 'Bo's language.
After a while, the fat merchant trotted back with a sigh of relief, nodded and smiled like a Japanese devil translator: "Your Highness, that's right, that child is the son of the nobles of the city, and those behind him are his family, if the army arrives today, the child brings some food to the labor army, my Basra people are enthusiastic, and I hope Your Highness will not refuse!"
Huaxia pays attention to the fact that the teacher is famous, and the people eat pot pulp, although the scale of this pot pulp is a little smaller, but in the indifference of the city, it is a good 'sex' beginning, Li Jie is also 'exposed' out of the light and nodded easily.
The guard opened a hole in front of the forbidden army, and the child and his family carefully stepped forward with the food basket, the child was also handsome, should have Arab blood, a smooth face under the white turban, a high nose and deep eyes, blue eyes like clear water, it seemed to be nervous, and the child trembled and handed the basket on his head with great effort.
"Don't be nervous, Lone came with civilization, and I hope to share the civilization ...... of China with the people of Arabia and beyond."
With a smile on his face, Li Jie leaned down like a big brother next door, took the food basket while saying in a kind and soft voice, but at this moment, the second dog suddenly stood up, Herod's hooves kicked forward, and the little boy staggered back a few steps, sat on the ground, and finally controlled the horse, but Li Jie was furious and pointed to a line of 'Bo' people who offered food and roared angrily: "Arrest them all!"
No matter how shocked they were, Zanpo and his party rushed forward without thinking to restrain the little boy, and with a soft sound, the surrounding guards saw clearly that a bloodshot, blue dagger fell to the ground, and the blue light was obviously quenched.
At the moment, I was really scared into a cold sweat, and a large group of guards, including Changsun Zhi and Yang Xinyi, all turned Li Jiewei's group around, but fortunately, although there was an extra scratch on the leather armor on the abdomen, it was not scratched, but the wound was on the back of Ma Wang Ergou.
I don't know what kind of poison was used by the 'Bo' people who did the stabbing, just for a short while, more than a meter tall and strong as two dogs knelt on the ground weakly, the huge horse's head rested on Li Jie's arms, who was also kneeling on the ground, but it still seemed to be arrogant and snorted, as if he was laughing at Li Jie, the rookie master, was so careless, and he had to save his life himself, the relationship between people and horses even exceeded that between people and people, quietly watching this scene, even a rough man like Zanpo was holding his breath, the child and other 'Bo'si people' The old man was still scolding Ibrahim, but no one was considerate of them anymore, and he pressed his fists and kicks to the ground, and his mouth was stuffed with dirt but there was no sound.
The incident happened too suddenly, and when the military doctor came over with the 'medicine' box, the second dog was completely out of breath, but Li Jie still quietly held the huge horse's head, and did not let go for a long time.
"King, who did the two dogs chase, you fought all your life, and finally died in the protector, he died as great as a warrior, you should be happy for him, don't be sad anymore!"
As if he had finally woken up, Li Jie finally shook his head and stood up, looked back at the 'Bo's assassin who was pressed to the ground and was still struggling and scolding, and gave a soft order: "Right here, kill his nine clans!"
The forbidden army dragged a dozen or so 'Bo's assassins, including the little boy, to the side to screen up, looked back at the worried guards and family members, and Li Jie waved his hand again: "We won't go to the Basra Palace, take the two dogs, and we'll go out of the city!"
The 'squire' guard gave up a horse, stepped on the horse again, and was about to turn back, but Li Jie stretched out his hand coldly, pointed to the fat merchant who had been frightened and ordered again: "And him, take all his relatives and friends, let's go out of the city!"
Seeing that the Min * team had already dug a pit at the hard crossroads, the fat merchant couldn't help but roll his eyes and fainted......
Outside the city, a large cluster of flames burned fiercely, and the huge Turkic horse king also turned into a handful of ashes in the blink of an eye.
"Lang Jun!"
The gentle arms suddenly wrapped around Li Jie's back, no need to ask, Changsun Zhi, so many wives and concubines, at this time, she was the only one who understood him the most and dared to come over.
"Don't worry, I'm fine, I just have some feelings, I will take him with me in the future, where I die, he will be buried."
"Hmm." The head was on Li Jie's back, Changsun Zhi just agreed lightly, and then stopped making a sound, the two of them were calm and tired for a while, Li Jie patted Changsun Zhi's hand and left her arms, and nodded to Wang Xuance, who was waiting on the side, who was a little anxious.
"Give orders to the armies! The army on the northern route, including General Xi, immediately stopped advancing and moved closer to Basra on the spot, and all the cities and towns occupied in the past were abandoned in non-strategic places, and all departments were careful and vigilant, and they were not allowed to rush in! ”
While walking briskly, Li Jie said hurriedly, listening to Wang Xuance's face change greatly, and followed behind and asked in shock: "Your Highness, Quan, give it all up?" That, that's almost catching up with the 'fertile' fertile land the size of Fujian, it's all arable land! ”
"That's right, give it all!" Li Jie said categorically: "Go and arrange the herald first, and I will explain it at the meeting of the generals later!"
"Whoa."
Wang Xuance was unwilling to issue an order, and before Li Jie walked into the big tent of the Chinese army, there were bursts of crying near Leng Buding, and seeing Li Jie's arrival, the fat 'Bo' man who had just come out to surrender knelt down and cried like a pig, and hugged Li Jie's big 'legs'.
"Your Highness, listen to me! The little one really didn't know that little bastard 'hairy' little bastard was an assassin! You have to believe me, the little ones have their hearts towards the heavens! ”
Seeing that the fat businessman almost didn't dig out his liver and kidneys to prove himself, Li Jie nodded simply.
"I'm sure you're not that daring."
Suddenly, the fat businessman's crying stopped abruptly, and he looked at Li Jie with round eyes, do you believe it, why are you still arresting my family's relatives and friends?
