The 20,000 Syrian regiments, led by Abdullah, marched into the valley and took up positions on the opposite bank, facing the Don army at a distance. Soon after, Khalid and 40,000 Kufa cavalry poured into the valley.

The river valley is extremely wide, and it is a natural ground for large-scale cavalry battles. The road in the river valley is the only way to get to Kikka, and choosing this place as a battlefield is extremely suitable for both sides.

Abdullah sat on the banks of the Horse River, watching the Tang people on the other side erect a dozen poplar shelves. On the shelves, there was a living person nailed, and the miserable cry could be heard clearly across the river.

That Tang general was such a vicious character that he actually went to Balhei to arrest all the family members of Vizier Khaled. He had long expected Khalid to be involved in this battle, and it seemed that he knew a lot about the Great Food.

The people on the shelves were nailed to their limbs and struggled in vain on them. Abdullah looked back and saw Khalid galloping over.

"Lord Abdullah, when are you going to cross the river and defeat these Dons?" Khalid asked.

Abdullah smiled faintly, pointed to the opposite shelf, and did not speak.

Khalid looked over, and his face changed suddenly.

"Father!" Across the wide river, Khalid screamed.

"Khalid, help me!" On the highest wooden pole on the opposite bank, an old man with a white beard looked over and suddenly shouted loudly.

Khalid jumped off his horse and rushed into the river. Balhei was located on the eastern border of the province of Khorasan, and he did not expect that the power of the Tang people had expanded there, and those who were nailed to the wooden frame were his father, his brother, and his wife and children. Seeing this scene, Khalid immediately went berserk.

"Khalid! What are you doing! Abdullah sneered in his heart, and rode his horse in front of Khalid, blocking his way.

General Tangren's ploy has been extremely successful, Khalid has succeeded in being provoked, and now is the time to take advantage of this.

"Abdullah! Get out of the way! Those are my family, and I'm going to save my family! Khalid said with red eyes. Even though he is full of wisdom on weekdays, he is also out of order at this time.

Abdullah stood in front of Khalid and sneered: "If you cross the river alone, you can only be sent to death, if you want to save your family, you must rely on the 40,000 army in your hands!" Khaled, you are no longer fit to command these 40,000 warriors, give them to me, and I will lead them across the river, drive out the damned Dons, and save your entire family. ”

Khalid shuddered suddenly, shook his head, and said, "That's Mansour's warrior, not mine." I command these 40,000 warriors on the orders of al-Mansur, and it is your responsibility to defeat the Tang people. Abdullah, I command you to immediately take your warriors across the river and defeat the damned Dons! ”

"Still unwilling to surrender the military power? That being the case, these 40,000 warriors can only give up! ”

Abdullah sneered in his heart, looked at Khalid and shook his head and said, "Khalid, don't forget, I am the commander of this operation, you are just my deputy commander, why give me orders!" The army has come here from afar, and it needs a good rest before it can march, how can it send troops to fight at this time! If I am ordered by Mansur to defeat the Don, I must complete my mission. When the warriors have rested enough, I will naturally let them cross the river to defeat the Dons. ”

"When your subordinates have rested enough, my family's blood will be drained!" Khalid shouted angrily.

Abdullah smiled coldly and said, "That's your business, I took the Syrian legion across the entire empire to distant Khorasan, not to save your family." I won't let my warriors risk at this inopportune time, and as for what you're going to do, I'm not going to stand in my way. ”

Khalid's eyes were red and he glared at Abdullah. Undenied, Abdullah looked at Khalid condescendingly, with only contempt in his eyes.

He is a descendant of the Prophet Muhammad, and how noble his lineage is, how can he look down on this lowly Persian Marwari?

"Abdullah! In the name of Caliph al-Mansur, I command you to cross the river at once! If you don't obey the order, I will see you as a rebel and kill all your warriors!" Khalid roared angrily at the terrible shouts on the other side.

Abdullah sneered, and the whip in his hand was swung out heavily, directly on Khalid's body.

"In order to save your own family, you dare to issue an order to me, do you know what your identity is? If you have what it takes to kill all my warriors, go and give orders to your men, and see if they have the courage to do it against the descendants of the Prophet's family!" ”

A huge blood streak appeared on Khalid's face, and blood immediately flowed out. Khalid roared angrily, glanced back at his family struggling on the pole, gritted his teeth and turned his head to run back, found his mount and turned on his horse, and immediately rushed to the Kufa cavalry behind.

"Get out of the way for them!" Abdullah smiled coldly and ordered loudly.

Let al-Mansur's men go down and fight with the Tang, and when they are almost done, he will lead the Syrian army to outflank the Kufa cavalry. Although the Tang general's strategy is vicious, but he is even better, once the Tang and Kufa cavalry engage, they can't retreat at all, and they can't make a move here, and the Tang general can't help himself.

The best result was that the Kufa cavalry and the Tang cavalry were both defeated, and then they were wiped out by themselves. Then he can take advantage of the situation to regain the province of Khorasan and return to the city of Kufa in the name of a hero. At that time, al-Mansur will no longer be able to sit down in the position of caliph, he will become the new caliph, the master of the Great Food Empire, and he will no longer have to look at anyone's face.

……

On the other side of the river, Ma Lan stood under the high pole, squinting at the chaotic position of the Great Food Army on the opposite side.

The 20,000 cavalrymen who were originally in the front, with Abdullah's original insignia on their bodies, knew at a glance that they were the elite from distant Syria. Now the cavalry of the Syrian legion is scattering to the flanks, and the cavalry that is rushing forward in chaos should be the Kufa cavalry subordinate to Mansur.

The cavalry of the caliph was originally in the early 20,000s, but it expanded to as many as 40,000 in a short time, and nearly half of them were new soldiers, which can be seen from their chaotic formation.

It is no wonder that it has only been seven years since the rise of the Abbasid Party, and it has only been four years since the establishment of the country in black, and even veterans have only limited combat experience, so they naturally cannot be compared with the Anxi Iron Army, which has survived a hundred battles.

There are also nearly half of the recruits in the new army of Anxi, but they are all from the three states of the west of the people, and there is absolutely no lack of courage in the bloody battles on the battlefield, and the veterans are the elites who are drawn from the Han army in the four towns.

He entered the river to divide the Great Eclipse, relying on his knowledge of history. This is his greatest strength, and it is also his greatest capital. It was precisely because he understood history that he asked Tian Mingyuan to fight Balhei, and then arrested all the Khalid family and brought them to Mulu City, and this time they were directly brought to the battlefield.

In history, Khalid was a well-known figure. He turned out to be and. Posilin's general, who was also the founding father of the Black Coat, won the trust of Mansour. He was the first prime minister of the House of Burmac, said to be a descendant of the Sassanid dynasty of Persia, and his father was a Zoroastrian elder of Balhei, but he was a devout Shia Muslim. The Burmacians controlled the empire for decades, and by the time it was confiscated in 806 AD, it had more than 30 million dinars of gold in floating wealth alone, which was definitely a rich country.

Due to the merger. Posilin died early, and the history of the Black Eater changed with it. Posilin, the sharpest sword of the Empire, and the general that Mansur can use is most likely Khalid. Therefore, Ma Lan had long judged that Khalid would lead the army to come, and he had already made preparations, so that Tian Ming's Far Eastern Expedition would be fought all the way to Balhei and all the Khalid family would be taken captive.

And now, that's where it comes in. Khalid was enraged by the success, and Abdullah's Syrian army stood still, while the Kufa cavalry was already preparing to cross the river.

As long as Abdullah kept his word, the 40,000 cavalry would soon be wiped out. Of course, Ma Lan naturally did not absolutely trust Abdullah, and no one who wanted to be a caliph would not easily give up the huge province of Khorasan, and he had anticipated all kinds of situations and made corresponding preparations.

Compared to Mansur, Abdullah is much easier to deal with, so the most crucial thing is to cut off Mansour's hands and feet, and pull Mansur, the future British lord, from the position of caliph. As for Abdullah, as long as he doesn't seek his own death, don't pay attention to him for the time being, and if Abdullah dies by himself, then naturally he will not be able to let him go.

Thousands of Tang troops were assembled two miles away from the river, ready to charge at any time, and there were two Tang armies on standby by the poplar forest in the distance. The gate of the camp in the rear is open, and if necessary, you can return to the camp at any time to hold on, and I have been preparing for this war horse for more than two months, and I have deduced it countless times in my heart. Seeing the smoke and dust rising from the other side, his hand held the Mo knife tightly, and he was also extremely looking forward to it.

The riverbed is quite wide, but the amount of water is not large, and most of the places can be crossed quickly by war horses.

On top of the wooden pole, a dozen Persians struggled in pain, their cries getting lower and lower.

Khalid's eyes were red as he looked at his own family on the other side. When the 10,000 cavalry was finished, Khalid couldn't wait to give the order, driving the 10,000 cavalry into the wide riverbed and rushing towards the opposite bank.

Niu Xu stood beside Ma Lan, his eyes full of eagerness, and took the huge seven-stone bow from his back.

Gaochang County Bo Li Zhengde obtained the title, originally because the general who shot the big cannibal shot and injured the marshal of the big cannibal, and now although he has fallen into a four-rank general, he has not yet been knighted, so he is naturally eager to make meritorious contributions.
