Chapter 20: The King of Sogdia

"The king of the Tang Dynasty Qinhua knelt down to welcome the king!"

"Datang respectfully obeys the king and kneels to welcome the king!"

At the head of the city were two middle-aged Sogdian men who were obsessed. Facing the murderous thousands of Anxi Iron Horsemen, the two of them broke out in a cold sweat and looked extremely nervous.

"King Qinhua? Obey the king? Joining the army, what are the origins of these two? ”

"General, the king of Qinhua is the king of Kang, and the king of Gongshun is the king of Mi, both of them are the sons of Wulejia, the famous king of Kang, and they were enshrined in Tianbao for four years."

Du Huan was born in a famous family, and he is very familiar with these things.

"That's right." Ma Lan nodded, a cruel smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

The king surnamed Zhaowu Jiu came two at once.

The history of the land in the river is like a layer of war fog for him, a latecomer, and the deeds of the nine surnames of Zhaowu in the Chinese classics are extremely rare, but Ulgatha knows that he once joined forces with Sulu to fight against the famous king of Kangguo, but these two guys have not heard of it.

"Which general is leading the army outside the city? The little slave is the king of the Tang Dynasty, and he also invited the leading generals to come out to speak! ”

The one who spoke was aggressive, his Central Plains official language was not jerky, it turned out to be fluent and abnormal, but his voice trembled slightly, obviously this guy was really scared.

Ma Lan rubbed his cheeks, trying to make himself look kinder, and urged the war horse to slowly step forward.

"A certain is the Tang Dynasty Anxi Metropolitan Protector Jin Wuwei General Ma Lan! What do you two have to say? ”

Although these two guys are serious princes, Ma Lu is not ready to give them face. Lord Huren, in the eyes of Anxi Jian'er, they are not fart, and they are not qualified to put up a fight in front of Anxi Jun, haven't they heard him call himself a little slave!

"General Ma Luan: On the day of the battle of the Talas River, the slaves were merged with that. Posilin's persecution was really a last resort. The little slave has already sent a messenger to Chang'an with Fang Wu Beidao to ask the Tang Emperor for his guilt......"

"No more nonsense! Since you are waiting for Datang, what is the reason why you dare to close the door when you see Wang Shi coming? Ma Lumo pointed directly at the head of the city and interrupted his words.

"Yes, yes, yes! It's the little slave who is negligent! Open the gates! Open the gates! "Repeatedly.

The heavy gates slowly opened, and the Sogdian warriors at the head of the city laid down their arms one by one. In the face of thousands of Anxi Iron Cavalry, the descendants of Ulega have no intention of resisting at all.

But if you want to compromise and endure humiliation in front of Ma Luan, how can it be so easy! The mortal enmity of the Talas River can only be washed away with blood!

Ma Ling vaguely remembered that in the second year of the Battle of Talas, that is, in the 11th year of Tianbao, it was recorded in the Chinese classics that the envoy of King Kang went to Chang'an to pay tribute, and asked for troops to be sent to fight against Dashi, but Emperor Xuanzong accepted the tribute but did not send troops.

Thinking about it, this Duai has indeed sent a messenger to Chang'an to ask for his guilt, and it is not easy for the Sogdians to ride the wall between the two behemoths of Dashi and Datang.

Ma Lan came from later generations, and there was no room for sand in his eyes, no matter why these two Sogdian kings appeared in Sa Mojian at the same time, since they had met, where was the reason to let go. If you let it go, how to explain it to the sons and daughters of the Han family who are sleeping in the Talas River.

……

By the time the Sogdians opened the city gates, Ma Lu's military orders had been quietly passed down.

The command has only one word, and that is "kill"!

When the last Sogdian on the city put down his weapon, Ma Lan nodded with satisfaction, and with a wave of his big hand, more than 20 eight-ox crossbows on the camel's back shot out at the same time, knocking down the two fat Sogdians.

Although the two fat men were obese, they both reacted very quickly, screaming and falling to the ground at the same time. At this time, the rest of the Sogdians had not yet reacted, and a black shadow swept through the clear sky, but it was the rain of arrows of the Anxi army that covered the city.

With the muffled sound of rain hitting plantains, the Sogdians at the head of the city fell one after another.

"Kill!"

The moment the Eight Bull Crossbow shot out, Ma Lu suddenly let out a loud shout, and rushed into the city gate with the most elite Mo Sword Knight. The Sogdians inside the city gates reacted and screamed to close the city gates, but where was the time?

A large battalion of Anxi cavalry rushed into the city and killed all the Sogdian warriors at the gates. In front of this group of the most elite warriors, the Sogdian warriors were as helpless as babies, and the city gate was instantly empty.

More than 100 Mosword knights broke into the city and quickly advanced towards the front, opening the way for the infantry. After several waves of arrows, there were not many Sogdian warriors on the city, and the follow-up Anxi infantry rushed into the city along the road opened by the cavalry, rushed up the city wall, and surrounded the Sogdian warriors with a burst of indiscriminate slashing and killing.

Mock and Silent were surrounded by the Sogdian warriors, their faces terrified. They didn't seem to expect Ma Lan to suddenly turn around and suddenly kill after they laid down their weapons.

"General, please ......"

In the midst of the shouts of killing, the voices of Duhao and Mo sobbing for mercy could not be heard clearly at all, but instead disturbed the morale of the guards around them. The guards around the two fought desperately one by one, but the Anxi infantry was too strong, and the Sogdian guards still fell one by one.

Seeing that Anxi Jian'er had already gained the upper hand on the street, Ma Lan laughed, jumped off his mount, carried a Mo sword to kill the head of the city, and besieged the remnants of the Sogdian warriors.

"General, why is that? The little slave really has no intention of resisting the king, and the general should not ......"

Ma Lan didn't bother to pay attention to the words of the two Sogdian fat men, and the Mo knife in his hand danced like the wind, like a tiger entering a flock of sheep, and each knife was to cut down a Sogdian warrior. Several tall and sturdy Sogdians roared and pounced, and were cut in two by Ma Lian and his armed men.

Is it useful to beg for mercy now? When he dared to unite with Dashi to fight against the Anxi Army, he should have been prepared to pay the price.

Ma Lan did not have any plans to trouble the Sogdian royal family with the surname Nine Sogdians, but the two Sogdian kings sent them to the door by themselves, so he naturally would not be polite. The blood of the Han family in Talas Sichuan is full of blood, all because the Sogdians fell to the Great Eclipse, this is a deep hatred in the sea of blood, how can it not be avenged.

Soon there were no Sogdian warriors left around the two fat men, and dozens of bloody steel knives were pointed at the two of them. The two fat Sogdian men trembled and did not know what to do.

In the battle of Talaschuan, they had already seen the horror of the Anxi army's combat power, and now that they encountered it again, they once again felt the horror of the elite soldiers of a hundred battles.

"General, what the slaves are saying is the truth, the little slave was indeed forced by the big cannibal and had to obey it. Both the slave and the silent have sent messengers to confess their sins to the Son of Heaven, and now the messengers should have entered the territory of Anxi. Please let the general see and spare the slaves. The king of Qinhua knelt on the ground and shouted repeatedly.

"General, I heard that you drove away the big cannibals in Sa Mojian, and the slaves are also very excited. Knowing that the general went to hunt and drink, the slaves and others came here on purpose, originally to wait for the general's army to return, and give a big gift to the general, in order to show the heart of the slave and the other direction! The loyalty of slaves can be learned from heaven and earth! King Gongshun sobbed his head on the ground and cried loudly.

"A big gift? What a gift? Ma Luan's face was cold, and he said coldly.

"General, the gift is in the city, and the little slave will take the general over." King Qinhua said sadly.

Ma Lan nodded, thousands of Han family sons are here, these two guys naturally can't play any tricks.

The army escorted the two brothers from the city built by the sassy grass, and the Sogdians in the city saw this scene with extremely complicated faces. Their king behaved so badly in front of the Tang people, which made many people extremely ashamed.

A wealthy merchant's mansion in the city was requisitioned as a residence by the Duai brothers. There were also more than 100 Sogdian warriors guarding here, and when they saw the arrival of the Anxi army, they immediately rushed out.

Ma Ling unceremoniously ordered these people to lay down their arms, and then the Anxi army killed all of them.

"What is the gift, now you can take it out." Standing in the courtyard full of corpses, Ma Lan sneered.

With tears streaming down their faces, Duai and Mo Si went into the room and brought out a dying Persian and placed it in front of Ma Lu.

"General, this is the great gift of the little slave. The slave waited here for the king, just to give this person to the general. The slaves have already been convicted, and this time they came to Samojian to wait for the king, because they wanted to use this great gift to reduce the sins of the slaves and ask for the forgiveness of the Son of Heaven. General, the slave is really wronged this time, and the slave soldier died unjustly! Gongshun Wang said silently with tears in his eyes.

"It's him!" Du Huan exclaimed.

The Persian had unkempt hair, chapped lips, ragged clothes, rotting flesh on his shoulders, eyes closed, and a pained look. If it weren't for the faint sound of breathing, I would have thought this guy was dead.

Seeing this Persian, Ma Luan's face also changed slightly.

This guy escaped with injuries. Posilin!

"General, the little slave brothers are now loyal to the Tang Dynasty, this is proof! General, you have wronged the little slave to death! King Qinhua burst into tears, looking extremely aggrieved.

"Tell me, what's going on?" After taking a closer look, Ma Lu confirmed that this was the one who was shot by Li Zhengde that day. Bo Silin was surprised in his heart.

This is a famous figure in the history of the Land of the River, and now it has fallen to this point.

Combine. Posilin should have died at the hands of Mansour, but was he going to die at his own hands? If so...... I'm afraid that the entire history of the Land in the River, and even the history of the Black Clothes and Great Food, is about to be completely rewritten!

It seems that these two Sogdian kings appeared in Sa Mojian, not because they were too stupid not to know that the army would return, but because they really made a special trip here to wait for the army.

"The generals, slaves, and others were coerced by this Persian slave and became enemies of the king's master, and their hearts were extremely terrified. Half a month ago, I met this Persian slave outside the city, and I really hated him in my heart, and the little slave and Mo Si fought with their lives to intercept this person, and injured more than 1,000 elite soldiers before defeating this Persian slave and capturing this person alive. Hearing that the king was occupying the sassy building, the slaves waited for the starry night to come, and wanted to sacrifice this person to the general, but the general had already gone to catch and drink, and the slaves waited here......"

The official of the Central Plains is very fluent, and he made things clear in a few words. Ma Xuan probably understood what was going on.
