The smoke cleared, and the city gates were in shambles.

Outside the city, the 10,000 Syrian legion knights shouted in unison, and their mounts all hissed uneasily.

Ma Lan stood in front of the camel, also looking at the ruins. The power caused by the two thousand catties of granulated black powder was much more powerful than he imagined. The picture of the collapsed houses behind the city wall was something he did not expect.

He ignores that these houses are just simple earthen houses, not reinforced concrete houses of later generations. Two thousand catties of black powder exploded at the same time, and if a small earthquake was artificially created, where could these earthen houses withstand the impact of the seismic waves, they would naturally collapse one after another.

"Abdullah, you can go into the city and capture Mansour, I'm here waiting for your good news." Ma Lan pointed to the city outside Li Xu and smiled.

Abdullah came back to his senses, nodded vigorously, and gave the order to the 10,000 Syrian cavalry.

Naturally, cavalry is not suitable for street battles in the city, but the Kufa people in the city have no intention of fighting street battles at all. 10,000 cavalry burst into the city along the gap in the city wall, and immediately destroyed the last will of the defenders to fight.

Defending the city was not something they were willing to do, but they were forced by Caliph al-Mansur. Now that the city is broken, no one will fight to the death for al-Mansur.

The defenders descended the city wall one after another, scurrying around the city, and many people hid directly in the houses, trying to escape with their lives.

Abdullah himself followed 10,000 cavalry into the city of Kufa and went straight to the city's Great Mosque. Ever since the royal palace in the small city of Anbar was set on fire by the rebellious guards, the Grand Mosque in Kufa has served as the temporary royal palace of al-Mansur. As for the new capital city of Baghdad, Mansour has only put forward plans and has not yet officially started construction.

Ma Xuan did not let the Anxi army follow into the city, and while watching Abdullah's troops rush in, he only ordered the Anxi army to hold the camp.

This is the core of the Great Food Empire, and the 10,000 new army is his lifeline, and the cavalry can only play a role on the plains, and there is no need to venture into the city.

Hundreds of scouts were already scattered at the various entrances of the city, and even if Abdullah failed to capture Mansour, Mansur would definitely not be able to escape from Yang Yu's palms. Killing Mansur and thus splitting the Great Food Empire is the first task of this expedition.

……

Abdullah marched into the ancient city of Kufa and went straight to the Great Mosque in the center of the city without any hindrance.

The Syrian cavalry filled the square of the Great Mosque, and the guards loyal to Mansour drove out with great effort, which was quickly cleared by Abdullah's army.

Abdullah was so complacent that he went straight to the Great Mosque with hundreds of guards.

"Abdullah! You rebel! You have brought the Tang people to attack the great caliphate, you disgusting hyena! ”

Mansur sat on a throne encrusted with jewels, without a single guard by his side, and watched Abdullah exclaim.

Abdullah smiled coldly, took a longbow from his guard, and aimed it at Mansur.

"Abdullah, you disgusting fellow! What qualifies you to be a caliph? You will only make a mess of Allah's kingdom! Mansour scolded angrily.

"Djerfar, you incompetent fellow, go die!" Abdullah sneered and loosened the bowstring without hesitation.

The arrow pierced Mansour's heart and slammed into the back of his chair, Mansour's body twitched a few times, his widening eyes turned blank, and he slowly fell.

Abdullah threw away his bow and arrows, strode forward with his sword, and with a swing of his sword, he cut off Mansur's head in one fell swoop.

As soon as he lifted Mansour's head, Abdullah laughed.

He has long been a thorn in the side of the Abbas brothers, who had plans to get rid of him while he was alive, and he has always been extremely cautious. After Mansur ascended to the throne, he directly ordered him to go east to Khorasan to recover Mulu, with the purpose of getting rid of him.

Now that Abbas is dead, and Mansur is dead at his hands, how can he not be happy, how can he not be happy?

"There's a secret passage here!" One of the guards suddenly exclaimed.

Abdullah was stunned, but saw a huge gap under Mansour's throne. Several of the guards pulled hard, and when the throne was removed, a swarthy hole was revealed underneath.

Abdullah's face changed dramatically, and then he looked closely at the head in his hand, and suddenly threw it on the ground with all his might, and roared loudly: "Damn it! It's not Mansour, it's just a joke! ”

This head bears a strong resemblance to Mansur, but on closer inspection, it is definitely not Mansur. Abdullah and Mansour both come from the same family, and they know each other so well, and on closer inspection, they can naturally see that there is a problem.

"Mansour must have escaped from here! Get in! Get on board! Be sure to catch him! Be sure to kill him! Abdullah pointed to the hole under the throne and shouted with a look of rage.

The guards hurriedly jumped in, and disappeared after going down.

Under the entrance of the cave is a secret passage, which zigzags and turns and does not know where it leads. The guards groped their way through the secret passage, and Abdullah looked gloomy on the ground, but he did not follow in.

He easily defeated Mansour, and naturally he was extremely desperate at this time.

Dividing a hundred and ten guards into the secret passage, Abdullah groaned, suddenly let out a sigh of relief, lifted the head of the man on the ground again, and strode out to the square.

All the forces in Kufa are waiting for a result, and now that the head of this drama is in hand, it is already possible to announce Mansur's death.

Al-Mansur, who lost the title of caliph, was an ordinary person, and even if he survived by luck, he would not pose any threat to him.

"My warriors, Mansur is dead!"

On the square, which was crowded with Syrian fighters, Abdullah raised his head high and shouted loudly.

The warriors were in high spirits, raising their swords and cheering loudly.

……

In the city of Kufa, the fire was blazing and the cry shook the sky.

The slaughter between the same race is not much more merciful than the plundering of the alien race.

The cavalry of the governors of the various places who had come to the battle, and the warriors of the nearby tribes who had come to their aid had rushed into the city, and their own victory was naturally going to plunder.

Anxi Jun was still watching from the barracks, and he didn't mean to mix them up. What Ma Lan is waiting for now is Abdullah coming here with Mansur's head.

Only by seeing Mansour's head with his own eyes can Ma Ling be truly reassured.

There was a small date palm forest in the camp, and Ma Lan stood beside the date palm tree and looked at the burning city, when suddenly there was a slight sound not far away.

Ma Lan looked back, but saw a hole suddenly appear under another date palm tree, and then a richly dressed middle-aged man laboriously came out.

“……”

Ma Lan twitched the corner of his mouth, he had been stationed here for several days, but he didn't find that there was a secret passage here! What does Michelle do to eat, she really needs a good spanking.

He was originally a ranger, and his reaction was extremely fast, and the snowy horizontal knife was instantly in his hand, and he quickly forced the guy who crawled out of the hole.

Caliph al-Mansur looked at the approaching Ma Lan with a depressed expression.

He had known the news of Abdullah's rebellion for a long time, and since the governors of several nearby provinces refused to send troops to help, Mansour felt that something was wrong, and hastily left a way out for himself. In a short period of time, it was not easy to dig the tunnel so far from the big mosque in the center of the city, and after the siege, Mansur climbed to the top of the city, but was depressed to find that the exit of the tunnel was actually surrounded by the camp of the Tang army in the middle!

Kufa City was not defended, so he could only flee. Knowing that he would escape into the camp of the Don army, Mansur had no other choice.

Abdullah is bent on his life, but the Tang people are not. As long as you give enough benefits to the Tang people, you may not be able to save your life.

The straight knife was pointed at Mansour's throat, and Mansur stopped in place and did not dare to move, and said repeatedly: "Don't kill me!" I am Caliph Mansour! ”

"Mansour?" Ma Luan's heart jumped suddenly, looking at this dignified guy.

During the siege, al-Mansur had come forward to scold Abdullah, but he only looked at it from a distance, and he didn't see it very really, but it was indeed seven or eight points alike.

"You are Abu. Jarfar. Abbas? "This guy speaks Arabic, so Ma Lan also asked in Arabic.

Mansour didn't expect this man to understand his words, and said in a loud voice, "It's me!" I am Abu. Jarfar. Abbas! Don, take me to your general, I will bring you a lot of good! ”

The corners of Ma Lan's mouth twitched suddenly, and he took the horizontal knife and lifted this guy.

At this time, another hole appeared on the ground not far away, and a beautiful figure jumped out, it was Mi Xue who had just finished blasting.

The hole dug by the Tang army leading to the city gate was dug from the barracks. The entrance was very close to where Mansur had come out, but Michelle did not find this secret passage. If this secret passage through the city wall had been discovered earlier, the Anxi agents would have been able to use this secret passage directly, and they wouldn't have had to work so hard these days.

The explosion under the city gate was ignited by Michelle herself, and she had just returned to the barracks from the secret passage when she saw that Ma Ling had captured Mansour.

"General, it was my negligence. Punish me! Knowing what was going on, Michelle looked at Ma Xuan and said crisply.

"I'll talk about it later, you take someone to seal the tunnel for me, and I'll interrogate this guy first." As he spoke, he walked back to the tent with Mansur in his hand.

……

"Mansour! Mansour! ”

In the handsome tent, Anxi generals gathered together, all looking at Mansur, and Ma Lan also stared at this guy, his eyes shining.

"Uncle Pony, this guy is equivalent to the emperor of the big cannibal!" Niu Xu asked, pointing at Mansour.

"Hmm!" Ma Lan nodded vigorously, "This guy was originally going to become a great cannibal generation of Mingjun, but now it has fallen into the hands of a certain family, haha, God bless Datang!" ”

"Uncle Pony, how did you know that he would become a generation of great cannibals?" Niu Xu asked.

"I'm dreaming about it, can't I?"

Mansur couldn't understand the official language of the Central Plains, his heart was extremely nervous, looking at the fierce gods around him, he finally couldn't help but speak: "General Tangren, I am the caliph of the great cannibal, please don't kill me, I will give you the same wealth as the sea."
