After all, there is still knowledge.

The leader of the fleet was named Aziz, and his family was also a prominent local family, the famous Persian Dehgan. When Abdullah, the governor of Syria and the Ansi army, joined forces to attack the city of Kufa, they recruited a large number of Persian Dekhgan troops as servants, including Aziz's family. In the First Battle of Kufa, Aziz was on the side of the coalition army, and he had seen the Anxi army with his own eyes and knew the strength of the Anxi army. And communicating with the fighters of the Syrian Legion, he also learned what the Ansi army was doing along the way from Khorasan to Kufa.

Since then, he has been in awe of the flag. And now, a fleet of ships flying such a flag appeared in front of him.

The other side has only a dozen ships, but in Aziz's opinion, the strength of an army under such a banner cannot be judged by quantity. This is true under the city of Kufa, and it is the same here.

"Stand back! Back off! Disperse! Disperse! Aziz looked at the Tang fleet in front of him and shouted in great horror. After the first battle of Kufa, his family was ready to fall to the Tang Expeditionary Force, but he did not expect the Tang Expeditionary Force to leave as soon as the battle, leaving Kufa City and the entire Mesopotamian Plain to the imperial uncle Abdullah, so the family did not get the opportunity to serve the Tang Dynasty. Because he supported Abdullah in the Battle of Kufa, Abdullah's family also received a lot of benefits after he became caliph, and this fleet was the brainchild of the family, and it was preparing to go to Guangzhou to do business, so naturally it could not be ruined here.

"The Tang people's Anxi Army?" The sailors on the deck were also shocked when they heard Aziz's words.

It was not far from the city of Kufa, and although Abdullah tried his best to hide the achievements of the Tang army after the battle of Kufa, the sailors had more or less heard of the name of the Anxi army. Hearing Aziz say that this fleet is the fleet of the Anxi Army, their faces changed one by one.

The shadow of the name tree of the people, the Anxi army fought from you Shabuer all the way to Kufa. In the whole Great Food Homeland, everyone knows that the army is simply not capable of being able to resist by manpower.

Aziz roared loudly, and the people around him hurriedly used flags to contact the ships behind them, and all the ships quickly retreated towards the harbor, and at the same time scattered to both sides.

"Aziz, what's wrong with you?"

"Eggless guys. How can you be scared like this? ”

"With this little guts, you still want to do business in Guangzhou? Ha ha! ”

There were also several fleets in the harbor that were preparing to leave the port, and the sailors laughed loudly on the deck when they saw the Aziz family fleet at the front retreating in a panic. Going to sea to do business is a matter of fighting for your life, and now these guys are actually scared back in the port, which is really not an ordinary shame.

Aziz ignored them, just retreated at high speed with his fleet, he stood on the deck, looking at the Tang ships in the distance. On the bow of the Tang warship at the front, a tall Tang boy was standing, also looking at him.

As the leader of the fleet, his eyesight was already unusual, and from a distance of hundreds of steps, he could also see the mocking smile on the corner of the Tang boy's mouth. Obviously, the other party's eyesight is also excellent, and the two eyes collided in the air, and Aziz's body trembled. Bowed his head respectfully.

Looking up at the young man again, Aziz ordered someone to go to the cabin and get a large piece of white cloth. He took it in his hand and waved it vigorously towards that side.

He was also a decisive man, and he made decisions in an instant. At the beginning, the family was going to fall to the Anxi army, but unfortunately the Anxi army retreated after conquering Kufa. And now the Anxi army has come here, although it is only a small fleet, but it has given him a chance.

As Dehgan of Persian origin, the Aziz family is naturally not a devout Huda believer. Like all cultured Dehgans, he converted to Huda only to maintain his position and wealth. Aziz himself is naturally the same, in his eyes the Tang people's Anxi army is invincible, since the Anxi army has come here, then he should submit to the Anxi army on behalf of his family. In order to take the lead in the future division of interests, get more benefits.

Now his family is still nominally loyal to Caliph Abdullah, but Aziz doesn't care. Abdullah is the one who is most afraid of the Anxi army, he is now busy fighting with Ibrahim for Syria, and has basically given up the territory east of the Zagros Mountains, there are still some territories east of the Zagros Mountains that have not been occupied by the Anxi army, and in the past year, those Dekhgans who are loyal to the Anxi army have continued to expand their territory under the banner of the Anxi army, suppressing those Dehgans who are loyal to caliph Abdullah, Abdullah has never said a word, resulting in the demoralization of the Dehgans loyal to Abdullah, Had to pay tribute to the Dehgans, who were loyal to the Anxi army.

Since Abdullah is such a caliph, and this time it happens to be the Anxi army, so it is natural to surrender the Anxi army. As for the family's roots near the city of Kufa, as long as they hugged the thigh of the Anxi army, then they would not have to worry about retaliation from Caliph Abdullah - forgive him and dare not. Moreover, Abdullah has moved his capital to his hometown of Damascus, and is in the midst of a fierce battle with Ibrahim near Aleppo, and it is impossible to pay attention to these things for the time being.

Aziz waved the white cloth while looking at the Tang boy in the distance. He knew that the surrender signal stipulated by the Anxi Army was to fly the white flag, and if there was no white flag at hand, he could only use this white cloth instead. He only hoped that the other party could understand what he meant and understand his intention to serve the Anxi army.

On the bow of the boat in the distance, the Chinese boy had a slightly strange face, as if he hesitated for a moment, and then nodded to him.

"He agreed!" Aziz was overjoyed and roared.

"What are you doing, sir? Who agreed? ”

"Don! The Don gave us permission to surrender! We're safe! Aziz laughed, his spirits lifted.

"Quick! All the boats come together! Get out of the way and drop the sails! The Don gave us permission to surrender! Let's see how these guys died! Aziz threw down the white cloth and laughed out loud.

The order was handed down, and the scattered ships regrouped and sailed to the corner of the harbor, where they lowered all the sails in full view of everyone.

Niu Xu stood on the bow of the Fufeng, watching this scene from a distance, and the corners of his mouth twitched.

This fleet, he was originally going to use it to establish his authority, but he didn't expect the other party to be so single, and directly expressed his surrender, and now he gathered all the ships together and put on a posture of letting you slaughter. In this way, it is not easy to start.

But that's fine, anyway, this time the troops are not enough, and the control of the city still needs to rely on the willing Dehgans. The leader of this fleet seems to recognize his identity, and since he has chosen to surrender, he can consider cooperation after taking the city.

The Aziz family is still within the range of the new eight-bull crossbow, and with such a dense formation, just a few arrows can be ignited. However, for the sake of the other party having taken the lead in surrendering, Niu Xu decided to let these guys go.

"What are the Aziz family doing here?"

"Scared like that? That's just a dozen boats! ”

On top of the other seagoing ships in the harbor, the sailors did not understand why they were doing this. Some people saw Aziz waving a white cloth, but they didn't know what it meant. Some people laughed loudly, others pointed and pointed, and the loading and unloading of goods in the port basically stopped, and everyone's eyes were on the mysterious ships that were slowly entering the port.

A fleet of dozens of seagoing ships passed by the Aziz family's moored flotilla and headed straight out of the harbor. The leader of the fleet looked at Aziz with disdain, and laughed at him on the deck, then turned his head and stared viciously at the approaching fleet.

The leader of the fleet was tall and bearded, and he was quite fierce in appearance. Dozens of ships rushed out and headed straight for the Tang army fleet in front, looking at this posture, if the Tang army fleet on the channel did not get out of the way, his ship would directly collide.

"It's really looking for death, these guys from the Hussein family......" Aziz looked at the leader of the fleet and sneered.

The Hussein family is also quite powerful in Basra, and has been fighting with the Aziz family for control of Basra City for the past two years, as well as the Pahlavi family. The two sides are usually on the same page, and now that Hussein has the opportunity to mock him, he naturally refuses to let it go.

The Hussein family obviously didn't recognize who the other party was, Aziz looked happy, he didn't know what would happen later, but since the other party was the Anxi army, then the Hussein family would definitely not be able to please him.

"It's really a ...... to die" At the bow of the Fufeng, Niu Xu smiled coldly.

What's the use of being fierce, fighting still depends on strength.

A few hundred paces away, the Persian bearded man could be seen shouting loudly, looking imposing, but it was of no avail.

I don't know what that guy was talking about, but it's not a good thing to say. Niu Xu lifted the giant bow at his feet, and the bow and arrow were blasted out.

He was shot through the chest by the Condor Archers of the Hawariji faction, which caused a great injury to his vitality, and now he is finally healed. The arrows of the Seven Stone Bow were incredibly fast, tearing through the air with a sharp whistling sound, and flew towards the Persian beard.

The next moment the Persian bearded man's shouting came to an abrupt end, and a long arrow shot through his eye socket and flew out of the back of his head, nailing heavily to the mainmast with blood and brains. The bearded man shook his body twice and fell heavily on the deck, his face was a huge hole of blood, red and white flowing out at the same time.

This sudden arrow made the people on the ship stunned instantly. At such a distance, the other party actually shot through the head with an arrow, and there was still enough strength left!

Seeing that the Persian beard was no longer noisy, Niu Xu smiled happily and put the seven-stone bow at his feet again, and waved his hand gently. (To be continued......)
