Chapter 17: Fury

After all, it is an important town in the river, and although the city is dilapidated, there are nearly 100,000 people inside, and there are many wealthy merchants of various ethnic groups. The Black Clothes Food did not set up a special prisoner of war camp here, and the Anxi Army prisoners of war rescued by Ma Lan and others all came from the workshops of various wealthy merchants.

Ma Lan personally led the elite to hunt the rich areas of the city, and the army scattered and broke into the door from house to house, and for a time the chickens and dogs in the city jumped and became a mess.

At the end of the long street, there was a rather luxurious mansion, and at this moment the gate was closed, and dozens of purple-haired guards on the wall poked their heads out, holding scimitars with vigilant expressions. Ma Lan led the army to the door of the mansion, and the leader of the Sogdian guard on the wall shouted nervously.

Du Huan and Qi Biye went outside the city, and there were no other translators around Ma Lan, Han Wu and Li An couldn't understand what these guys were saying, and they looked puzzled.

Ma Lan smiled, and with a flick of his big hand, Li Zhengde shot an arrow, shooting the shouting leader of the Sogdian guards down the wall.

When the army arrived, he dared to threaten him, which was simply looking for death. Ma Lan himself understood the Sogdian dialect, so naturally he would not let this guy go.

As for what the Sogdian was scolding, Ma Lu didn't want to tell his men.

A rain of arrows flew from the Anxi army, and the Sogdians on the wall suddenly fell to pieces, and the rest of the people quickly retracted their heads.

"Kill!"

Ma Ling urged the war horse to speed up and rushed straight towards the courtyard wall.

When he arrived at the wall, Ma Ling gently lifted the reins of the horse, and the war horse neighed and stood up, and at the same time, he suddenly supported the horse with one arm, and he was already carrying a Mo knife on the wall.

With the swing of the Mo knife, two huge heads had already flown out. The remaining Sogdian warriors frantically surrounded them, and with a long laugh, the horses strode forward to meet them, their swords dancing like windmills, and the heads of people rolling in their passes.

"General Shenwu!" Han Wu shouted.

Ma Lan laughed: "You wait and stop, watch a certain thief!" ”

The crowd stopped outside the gate of the mansion and watched as Ma Lu fought with the Sogdian warriors on the wall. The Mo knife weighing more than ten catties was as light as nothing in Ma Lan's hands, and the Sogdians couldn't get close at all, and the short spears thrown out were also smashed one by one by the Mo knife.

At this moment, it seems to be back to the time of the ranger Chang'an.

Among the army, there are more than 100 people who are prisoners of war of the Anxi Army who have just been rescued, and they have not seen Ma Lu's martial arts.

"It's so powerful, it's comparable to General Li Siye!"

"General Ma Lan is really powerful!"

In a matter of moments, the remaining Sogdian warriors were slaughtered by Ma Lan, but Ma Lan was unscathed.

More than a dozen powerful soldiers rushed up and broke through the gate, and more than 100 elites rushed directly into the mansion. Ma Ling jumped off the wall with a Mo knife, and then an old Sogdian man with a long beard came out of the backyard.

The old man was full of white hair, looked at the corpses all over the ground and said with a sad face: "Guests from afar, what you want, we give it to you, why do you want to kill my people?" ”

The old man spoke in Chang'an official dialect, with a hint of Anxi accent. Obviously, this is also a person who has walked the Silk Road, and he also recognizes the identity of Ma Lan and others as Tang people.

Ma Lan ignored him, and with a wave of his big hand, Han Wu Li An rushed directly into the backyard with Anxi's strong pawns.

"General, the Huanghuang Tang Dynasty, the state of etiquette, actually treats the people under his rule like this? Where is the royal law? The old man looked at Ma Lan and said.

"I'm here just to take my people with me." Ma Lan smiled.

"The God of Light is above, and there is not a single Tang person in the old family. As a citizen of the Tang Dynasty, I am extremely angry at your brutality! ”

"If there really are no Tang people, we will leave." Ma Lan didn't bother to grind his teeth with him.

"General, we didn't find our robes." Han Wu and the others walked out of the backyard, escorting more than 200 Sogdians, and Han Wu said loudly.

When the old Sogdian man heard this, the look on his face became even more angry.

"Look what you've done! In the future, the old man will definitely go to Anxi in person to find justice for the protection of Dadu! ”

"I'm the Prince of Anxi, you want to find justice for the Dadu Protector, but I'm afraid I'm going to Chang'an. Since there really are no Tang people in your family as slaves, your clansmen can be saved this time. Ma Lan smiled indifferently.

The Sogdians looked at the corpses of the warriors who had fallen under the wall, and one by one they began to cry loudly. Ma Lan ignored them, and walked out directly with the Mo knife.

"General, don't believe this old ghost! He has our robes in his house! Outside the gate of the mansion, a figure rushed in, but it was a prisoner of war of the Anxi Army who had just been rescued.

"Hugh is talking nonsense! Where are the old decayed people in the house! The old Sogdian's face changed slightly, and he shouted angrily.

Ma Lan looked back at Han Wu, and Han Wu said: "General, I have searched all over just now, but I didn't find a single robe. ”

"Is there a workshop in the backyard?" Ma Lan asked with a frown.

"It seems to be a workshop." Han Wudao.

"General, I was brought here with my brother and bought by the Sogdians on the same day. This is the man who bought my brother, and I know him! The Anxi Army prisoner of war was emotional and said in a loud voice.

Looking at the old Sogdian man again, his face was already pale and abnormal, and he was speechless.

Ma Luan's heart suddenly twitched, and he shouted angrily: "Old dog! "Mo Dao flew up like snowflakes, and a head flew up.

When the Sogdians saw this, they wept even louder.

Han Wu Li An's face became extremely ugly, and he rushed into the backyard with people. Ma Ling also followed in with a Mo knife, snorted slightly, and went straight to a wood.

On top of the fallen leaves, there are still dark brown blood stains. Beneath the freshly turned dirt exuded a faint smell of blood.

Han Wu and Li An and his entourage followed, quickly turned over the dirt, and found more than 100 corpses, all of which were tied with their hair tied up.

The body was still warm, and its body was covered in scars.

These are the robes of the Anxi army, and it is obvious that they have been severely abused during their lifetime. They were hastily killed by the Sogdians after the Anxi army broke through the city. From the arrival of the Anxi army in the city to the present, it has only been half an hour.

"Big brother! Eldest brother! ”

The Anxi prisoner of war found his brother among the many corpses, threw himself on the ground and wailed.

Ma Lan stood beside him with a Mo knife, and his eyes became extremely cold.

The big guys came to catch and drink thousands of miles to save them and go home together. Who would have thought that the Sogdians had already invaded and hunted, but the Sogdians had killed them all!

The Sogdians killed them to hide the fact that they had been mistreated.

Catch someone to do this, what about Sa Mojian? Under the soil of the sassy construction, will there also be the soul of Anxi Jian'er who died unjustly?

Ma Lan didn't dare to imagine that his eyes were completely red.

"General, those people in frontβ€”"

Ma Lan was silent, raised his hand coldly, and then fell heavily.

Han Wu nodded and walked to the front yard with Li An and the others. The weeping Anxi Army prisoner of war wiped away his tears, grabbed a Mo knife and followed.

was robbed of a knife by a small soldier, and Ma Lan did not feel the slightest displeasure. At this moment, there is only anger and remorse in his heart.

The desperate cries of the Sogdians rang out in the foreyard, mixed with the muffled sound of sharp knives penetrating flesh. After a few moments, it was quiet again.

Paoze's body was reburied in the earth, a piece of bluestone was marked, Ma Lan withdrew from the mansion with his subordinates, and the fire instantly rose into the sky, completely engulfing the entire mansion.

"The order is that all the rich Sogdian merchants will be killed, regardless of whether they have my Anxi military robes at home or not! Look carefully, and find all the robes that are alive! Ma Lan gritted his teeth and ordered.

After saying that, he strode away with a Mo knife and went straight into another mansion of a wealthy Sogdian merchant.

Several Sogdians greeted them with smiling faces, but the next moment their heads were flying.

At this moment, there was endless anger in his heart, and only killing could calm it.

……

In the streets and alleys, light horses were crisscrossed, and Ma Lu's orders were quickly transmitted everywhere. With Ma Lu's order, the city was instantly plunged into a bloody storm.

Naturally, the army in the slums will not be alarmed, and there can be no captured robes there, and all the rich areas will immediately become hell on earth after the Anxi army.

All the Sogdians who lived in it were killed, all the mansions were destroyed by fire, and where there might have been prisoners of war by the Ansi army, the Ansi army was a means of slaughtering the city.

Not long ago, the city had been burned by Ziyad once, and now, the whole city was once again in flames.

……

More and more news came, which made Ma Lan's heart even more angry.

The bodies of dead Anxi Army prisoners of war were found in the homes of many wealthy merchants. Some had been tortured to death before, while many more had been hastily killed just as the Anxi army had broken through the city.

The purpose of the Sogdians, of course, was to hide the fact that there were Tang slaves in the family.

In a short period of time, more than 300 corpses of Anxi military robes were found.

Ma Lan could now conclude that there must have been a wealthy Sogdian merchant in Samojian who had used the same tactics and escaped punishment by the Anxi army.

In Sa Mojian, when he led the army of prisoners of war to the and. When Posilin's elite cavalry attacked, many wealthy Sogdian merchants were commanding their guards and slashed their butcher's knives at his robes!

And after that, he easily let them go!

Thinking of this, Ma Luan was extremely angry in his heart.

He wanted to be calm, but the soul of the man in the middle of the gate refused to calm down.

When he was built in Samo, he was too friendly to those wealthy Sogdian merchants. This time I had to go back to Samo, and Ma Ling had already decided to make up for this mistake.

For the former Chang'an ranger Ma Lan, this is the only correct approach.

……

In the city, the luxurious mansions were turned into ashes in the fireworks, which was the last tribute to the sons and daughters of the Han family.

Outside the city, Khino commanded the tribal soldiers to easily conquer one fortress after another, and obtained a lot of material wealth. Du Huan carefully wrote down every fortune, in order to prevent these guys from being greedy for ink.

"This time, the general is probably preparing to slaughter the city." Qi Biye looked at the smoke billowing from the fishing city, and said with a smile, "When I was building in Sa Mo, I should have done this." ”

"Slaughtering the city?" Du Huan turned his head and looked at the city not far away, and his face changed suddenly.

"Not good!"

The family didn't have time to say more, so he immediately jumped on a war horse, waved his whip and rushed towards the fishing city.

"You guys, protect the soldiers." Qi Bino hurriedly said.

"Yes!"

A dozen Uighurs turned their horses and galloped away with Du Huan towards the city.
