Tens of thousands of fire seekers fled in panic along the road along the Wuhu River to their royal capital, and the news that the Tang people were about to attack quickly spread to the lower reaches of the Wuhu River.

In the end, both sides of the Wuhu River were densely packed with fleeing fire seekers, and all the destinations were the same, that is, their royal capital, the city of Ximi.

The speed of the Tang army's advance took the initiative to decrease, and followed the fleeing fire seekers without hurrying forward. The army was only dozens of miles away from the fire seekers, and between the Tang army and the fleeing fire seekers, Niu Xu and the scouts came and went, although they rarely killed and injured the fire seekers, but it caused great psychological pressure on these fleeing people.

Since the original scout leader Yang Yu has become the military envoy of Yanchuan, he has become the new scout leader from the Sipin general Niu Xu. After the battle to exterminate the descendants of the Sassanid royal family, Niu Xu, who had the experience of leading an independent army, was obviously much more mature, lost a little bit of the taste of a ranger, and began to look like an iron-blooded Anxi soldier.

The young man, who was as strong as an ox, had an extra scar on his face, which was the mark left by the Tocharian battle. This scar makes Niu Xu more like a real general than a hot-blooded weak-crowned teenager.

The Anxi army was driven from the front, the Turkic soldiers scattered on both sides and plundered the towns and villages, the Kangju merchants bought the booty, and the number of fire seekers who fled to the city of Ximi snowballed, all in the course of Ma Lan's plan.

Later generations of Khorezm were once a large Muslim empire, but now Huoxun is only a small country, with only the southern shore of the Aral Sea and the lower reaches of the Wuhu River. Despite its small size, it was an extremely prosperous region, which often attracted invaders. This region was once owned by historically famous beings such as Darius and Alexander the Great, as well as many lesser-known heroes, and now the distant Eastern Empire of the Tang Dynasty will become the new owner of this land.

When the Tang army arrived at the city of Huliximi, the number of people who were driven to the city of Huoli Ximi had reached tens of thousands.

Thousands of Turkic miscellaneous soldiers had been collected by Ma Lan at this time, and they directly crossed the city of Ximi, blocking the way for the fire seekers to continue to escape. On the other side of the city is the Anxi Army, which is far from the city of Xi Mi.

The fire seekers in the city closed the city gates, and did not let a fleeing fire seeker enter the city, and the army of the fire seeker king at the head of the city was in full array, obviously ready for battle. The fire seekers from afar crowded outside the city, and it was unbearable to make a mess.

The city is a few miles away, and it is not a small city in the river. Ma Lu was stationed outside the city with a large army, not in a hurry to attack the city, but quietly waiting.

This nail was removed, and the whole fire could be determined. A few hundred miles further on, the southern shore of the Aral Sea, with its vast forests and swamps, is a blessed place in the middle of this desert-filled river.

Niu Xu and 500 scouts blocked the roads everywhere, and at this time, the Anxi army finally began to kill. When they arrived at the city of Huli, they were strictly confined to the vicinity of the city, and those who wanted to leave and flee elsewhere were shot mercilessly by the Tang army scouts.

The city simply can't accommodate so many fire seekers, and if all these people enter the city, they will quickly consume the supplies in the city. And if these people are not allowed to enter the city, it will definitely cause resentment.

So just wait, wait for the fire to find the royal family to make a choice, no matter how you choose, the final result will be the same. This rich area will become the direct territory of the Tang Dynasty, and a large number of Han family sons and daughters will live here in the future.

……

"General, the envoy of the Fire Hunt King Zhao Wulie has arrived and wants to ask to see the general."

"Let him in."

A purple-haired Sogdian youth walked in, bowed to Ma Luan, and said respectfully in the stiff Anxi official dialect: "The little slave Asiran greets the general of the Heavenly Khan." ”

"Get up!"

Asilan stood up and said respectfully: "The little slave came on the order of the king, and wanted to ask the general, Huoxun Country is also a subject country of the Tang Dynasty, although he can't pay tribute from time to time because of the long distance, but he is also extremely respectful to the Tian Khan, I don't know why the general brought a large army to attack a subject country of the Tang Dynasty?" ”

"Huoxun is a vassal state of the Tang Dynasty, but if he doesn't pay tribute on time, he has no vassal courtesy, and he should send troops to attack him." Ma Lan smiled faintly.

"If it's because of the tribute, it's the fault of the country. Please calm the anger of the thunder for a while, relieve the army, and go to the Tang Dynasty on time to pay tribute in the future. Asiran said continuously.

"It's late!" Ma Lan smiled lightly, "It's useless to talk too much, you go and tell your king, just say that if you are willing to surrender, you will open the city gate and bind yourself to the camp, and from then on you can rest assured that you will be a citizen under the rule of the Tang Dynasty, but you don't have to think about the throne, at least you can save a life." If you are unwilling to surrender, then wait for my army to enter the city, and then there will be no chickens and dogs left in the city! ”

"General, there is nothing wrong with the king of my family, why does the general refuse to give the bad country a chance, and he must persecute the bad country like this?" Asiran asked.

Ma Lan smiled: "It is a big mistake to have no vassal courtesy. Datang Tie rode to the river for a long time, and Huoxun was already close at hand, and the Huoxun King never went to visit, which was a big mistake. Thousands of athletes from my Datang Dynasty have come here, how can there be a reason to return in vain? Needless to say, go back and tell your king that he will either surrender or die. ”

"Datang Eastern Power, does it want to persecute a small Huoxun like this? Even when Qu Dibo occupied the river, he never wanted to extinguish my fire and seek the royal family! Ah Xilan stood up straight, and there was already grief and indignation in his eyes, "The eagle flies in the sky, the rat is running in the hole, Datang and Huoxun are thousands of miles apart, why do you treat me Huoxun so harshly, so bitterly!" ”

"That's a lot of nonsense!" Ma Ling sneered and said, "Get out!" ”

The two pro-soldiers went to pull Asiran with a calm face, Asilan shouted, suddenly broke free from the two, pulled out a sharp short sword from his sleeve, and rushed towards Ma Lan.

The Sogdian man was tall and extremely fast, and with his short sword in his hand, he immediately seemed to be a different person.

Ma Lan stood up suddenly, kicked out the case table in front of him, Ah Xilan's speed did not decrease at all, and the short sword in his hand swung out at high speed, actually splitting the case in half, and continued to rush towards Ma Lan at high speed.

The distance between the two was not more than a foot, and in a blink of an eye, Ah Silan had already arrived in front of Ma Lan, and the moment Ma Lan kicked out the case, there was already an extra horizontal knife in his hand, and he slashed at Ah Xilan with his backhand.

The horizontal knife and the short sword collided together, Asiran's figure suddenly froze, Ma Lan let out a long laugh, and his long legs were drawn out like whips, smashing into Asilan's waist fiercely. Asiran screamed, several ribs had been broken by Ma Lan's leg, and his body suddenly staggered.

However, the next moment, Ah Xilan pounced on Ma Lan with a fit, and the short sword stabbed at Ma Lan fiercely again. The two of them were close at hand, and his door was wide open, but he didn't care about it at all.

Ma Lan let out a deep sigh, and the horizontal knife in his hand brought out a snowy knife light, which was incredibly fast, and the latter slashed at Asiran's wrist first. Asiran roared, and a hand and a short sword had already flown out.

His internal organs were hit hard, blood was already oozing from the corners of his mouth, but the light in his eyes was even more crazy, and he suddenly opened his mouth and bit Ma Luan's shoulder.

Ma Lan suddenly lowered his head, and his forehead hit Asiran's nose with great accuracy, directly knocking his nose bone down, and then lifted his knee and slammed it into Asilan's lower abdomen.

His strength is extremely great, where can Ah Xilan withstand it, his body suddenly shrunk into a ball, and because his nose bone was broken, tears also flowed out involuntarily.

Ma Lan kicked out again, directly kicking Asiran to the ground. Ah Xilan collapsed to the ground holding her stomach with one hand, trying to look up at Ma Lu, with a look of unwillingness.

"You actually came with me to do this, do you know what a certain family did back then?" Ma Lan looked at Asiran condescendingly and smiled coldly.

When it comes to the means of the ranger, Nanba and Lao Lei also have the power to fight, and this fire seeker actually plays with him, which is simply funny.

"Damn the Don! You will be punished! This land belongs to Allah and you will never be the masters of this land! Asiran gritted her teeth and cursed.

“…… Do you believe in Hu Da? Ma Li looked at Asiran and frowned.

Asiran snorted, a look of pride on her face.

Ma Xuan looked at this guy with an extremely strange look on his face: "As far as I know, Zhao Wulie has cleaned up all the Persians who have sent Xinhu Da to assassinate me. It's stupid that he sent you, a big believer, and he buried his last hope of survival. ”

Asiran shouted: "I, Asiran, am the prince of Huoxun! We purge the Persians because they are not true believers of Allah! My father and I are devout Muslims, and we believe in pure scriptures. Don people, this land has become part of the kingdom of Allah, and no one can take it away, and you will be punished for doing so! ”

"If there is any retribution, then come." Ma Lan looked at Asiran and smiled, "It seems that you belong to a mysterious sect. I suppose that your father and son did not say such things to your subjects when they purged the Persians, but must have said that you were the most devout believers in the God of Light. You say that I am telling your subjects that you believe in Allah, how will your subjects react? Will it kill you with a single blow? ”

Asiram cried out, "Those fools will not believe you!" ”

"Perhaps, but it's nothing." Ma Lan smiled and said, "Since you are stupid to find death by yourself, then it will be good for you." Zhao Wulie, the king of the fire seeker, has already taken refuge in Allah, so there is no need to think about living again. After the city is broken, I will get rid of everyone in the fire royal family, and then see what the retribution is. (To be continued.) )
