Chapter Seventy-Six: Interception

In the new military camp of Anxi, the lights are bright all night.

The veterans pinched the 20 yuan bill jointly issued by Duan Xiushi and Du Huan, and they were already snoring. The recruits sat around the campfire, whispering in the light of the fire, apparently unable to sleep that night.

Not far away, the corpses of Persians were everywhere beyond the wall, and the air was so thick with blood that it could not be dissolved. It will undoubtedly be an extremely memorable night for these battlefield veterans.

They also received the reward of twenty denarii of silver. Although it is only a note, you can get it to Anzai and go to the treasury to exchange it for real copper coins.

The weight of the twenty Yuan Tongbao is quite heavy, and if it is hung on the body, it will not be able to fight.

This method of distributing rewards was discussed in advance between Ma Ling and Feng Changqing. According to the agreement, the money for rewarding the soldiers is naturally from Ma Lu. After the army returned to Anxi, Ma Lan needed to spend 100,000 yuan from the treasury set up in the grange and hand it over to the treasury of Anxi under the control of Feng Changqing.

Feng Changqing emptied the treasury of the Dadu Protectorate in order to arm this new army of Anxi, and now he needs a large number of copper coins. After this wealth is replenished to the treasury of Anxi Mansion, after all, not all soldiers will go to collect it immediately, so it will be easier for Feng Changqing to operate.

In the future, this will be the eternal rule, and the rewards of the soldiers will be given in this way. This not only reduces the trouble of transshipment, but also allows Anxi's treasury to be in a full state at all times. For the athletes, it is better to keep money at home than in the treasury.

In fact, Ma Lan's plan was to turn Anxi's treasury into a large money bank. Everyone's wealth is deposited in the bank, so that the fate of every Anxi Hanmin has a close relationship with this super bank. And relying on everyone's wealth, Anxi Army can also operate better and develop.

Ma Lan is the deputy envoy of the Zhidu Yingtian, and it is also his duty to accumulate wealth. He never thought of relying on the camp to feed the Anxi army, which would not be able to support the army he wanted.

Of course, this is just his idea for the time being, and he has not yet explained it to Feng Changqinghe.

Early the next morning, the camp was lifted. The scouts had already been released, searching in all directions. The foot soldiers marched out of the barracks, some to bury the bodies of the Persians, and some to retrieve the barbed wire and thistles.

Barbed wire is a real treasure, and the production in the Ma family's workshop is not large, and last night's battle has proved the effectiveness of this kind of thing, such a treasure must not be discarded here.

After dismantling the camp and having breakfast, and everything was ready, the army marched again.

More than 3,000 Persian prisoners of war were strung with ropes and staggered ahead hungry. It's good to spare their lives, where are you willing to give them food. Eat three times a day, that is the right of the Han family.

Behind them was the Han family's sons and daughters with five thousand bright armor. Mu Kun was placed on a camel and walked at the very back of the Persian prisoners of war.

When the Persians came to fight, they left more than 10,000 old and weak women and children in the camp. Now that they have surrendered, these people will naturally surrender as well.

"Mu Kun, don't worry too much. As long as you are dedicated to surrendering to Datang, other things can be solved after all. As long as you are loyal to my Datang, it is very likely that you will become the second Shatuo. Bian Lingcheng saw Mu Kun's brows tightened, and comforted with a smile.

"By the promise of the angel, the little slave will do his best." Mu Kun said in a deep voice.

"You only have three years!" Ma Lan was obviously not prepared to give face to the Persian prince, and said with a sneer.

"The little slave knows."

As he spoke, a large cloud of smoke and dust rose from the meadow in the distance, and several Tang army scouts in front of the smoke and dust quickly came on horseback.

"Enemy attack!"

Ma Luan's face changed, and with a wave of his big hand, Tian Mingyuan waved the flag quickly on the back of the camel, and the five thousand soldiers immediately reacted.

Two thousand infantry surrounded the camel with spears and knives, and the two thousand cavalry slowly set up on the two wings, and the sturdy knights on the camel's back looked serious, ready to smash the crossbow at any time.

"Mu Kun, order your subordinates to go up!" Ma Ling grabbed the Mo knife on the side of the saddle and said coldly.

Mu Kun was stunned for a moment, and said with a miserable laugh: "Yes!" ”

has become a prisoner of war, and naturally he will end up at the mercy of others, what else is there to say.

"Hurry up and give orders! Now is the time for you to show your loyalty! Bian Lingcheng said coldly, then looked into the distance and frowned, "Renjie, what's going on?" Why is there another army here? ”

Ma Lan smiled coldly, clenched the Mo knife and said: "It doesn't matter who it comes from, if you dare to stop the army, you can kill it!" It was too easy to win last night against these Persian slaves, and now it's time for the sons to show their means! ”

Bian Lingcheng smiled and nodded, at this time, the scouts had already rushed in front of the army, bypassing the accelerating Persian prisoners of war to a few people, and the knight led by him saluted Ma Lu on his horse, and said loudly: "General! There are a large number of Turgish in front of them, rushing towards this side! ”

"Turgish? How many? Ma Ling said in a deep voice.

"At least three thousand!"

"It's only three thousand, which is not enough for a certain family to stuff their teeth." Ma Ling nodded, "Yang Yu, go back to the team!" ”

Yang responded, and led the scouts around the back and got into Han Wu's cavalry.

"The Turgishes are crazy! Hasn't it hurt enough to be beaten by us in the past few years? Bian Lingcheng looked at the smoke and dust that was getting closer and closer, and said with a smile.

"It's just a matter of not changing. I don't know if it's the surname Huang or the surname Hei, whatever, if you come, you will fight, there is nothing to say. Ma Ling smiled, "Speaking of which, I haven't fought for a long time, and I haven't been idle for so long since I joined the army in Anxi." I must kill it later, angels, please sweep the battle for me! ”

Bian Lingcheng clapped his hands and said, "Strong! General Ansima, it really deserves its name! A certain family is also trying to see the general's methods today! ”

As he spoke, the smoke and dust were getting closer and closer, and the Persians, under Mu Kun's order, had already rushed forward for a distance, and had opened up for half a mile with the Tang army. In the smoke and dust, the loud shouts of the Turgish warriors could already be heard, and the overexcited faces could be faintly seen.

On the side of the Anxi army, the infantry had already given up their war horses and dismounted and entered a state of imminent battle. The cavalry was ready on both sides, neither fast nor slow, ready to attack at any moment. The crossbows were concentrated in the middle, all wound, and the arrows shimmered in the grooves.

Bian Lingcheng rubbed his hands excitedly, he participated in the march, and the credit would have his share. On the ground of Anxi, the Anxi army is a symbol of invincibility, and the more enemies come, the more military exploits he can reap.

The Turgish had already rushed in front of the Persians, who were bound by ropes and staggered forward under the strict orders of Mukun. Mu Kun's camel followed the three thousand Persians alone, giving loud orders from time to time. Looking back, seeing that the Anxi Army had already set up a formation and slowly followed, Mu Kun was relieved.

He knew that this was being used as a human shield by Tang Jun, but where did he have any other choice. I only hope that Tang Jun's crossbow arrows are still as sharp as last night, so that more of his people can survive.

Seeing that the Turgis had already entered the range of the Eight Bull Crossbows, Ma Lu sneered and raised his right hand high.

Tian Mingyuan then raised the flag in his hand, as long as Ma Lan's hand fell, his flag would also fall.

"Renjie! Stop! Stop it! Bian Lingcheng squinted at the figures in the smoke and dust, and suddenly shouted as if he had seen a ghost.

Ma Lan said in a deep voice: "Angel, you can't stop!" It would be dangerous to stop those Persian slaves again! ”

"Stop! Stop! That's not a Turgish! Bian Lingcheng said angrily, "Leave those Persian slaves alone, stop quickly!" ”

"Not a Turkish?" Ma Lan was slightly stunned, "Who else dares to be so arrogant and attack my army?" ”

"Don't shoot! Whoever dares to shoot, a certain family can't spare him! Bian Lingcheng screamed, then pointed to a few flags rising from the smoke and dust, and shouted, "See clearly! That's not the Turgish, that's the people of the Goshu tribe, the people of the Goshuhan tribe! ”

Feng Changqing saw it, and the corners of his mouth twitched suddenly: "It's really a person from Geshubu!" ”

"People of the Goshu tribe! Didn't they take refuge in Shule, how could they be here? Ma Lan looked puzzled, but he still ordered Tian Mingyuan to accept the order flag.

As he spoke, the group of Turkic cavalry had already rushed into the ranks of the Persians, and all kinds of weapons flew in their hands, and fell on the unarmed Persians without mercy. Mu Kun didn't wait for the Tang Army's arrow rain, and when he looked back, the Tang Army suddenly stopped in place.

Mu Kun couldn't help but be horrified, and urged the camel to run back.

The Persians, with their hands tied with ropes and a look of utter despair, fled in vain under the attack of the cavalry, and one by one the Persians were cut down in pools of blood and trampled into flesh by their horses.

Geshu Chongyuan laughed loudly, holding a heavy mace in his hand, and smashed several heads every time he swung it out, and he was majestic.

Three thousand light horsemen rushed into the prisoners of war, and the soldiers of the Goshu tribe immediately turned red-eyed. The black-clad thieves robbed their sheep and horses, killed their people, and now got a chance to take revenge, who could have the slightest mercy?

"How could the people of the Goshu tribe be here! What's going on? ”

Bian Lingcheng's face turned pale, looking at the Persian prisoners of war who were struggling under the attack of the cavalry, and clenched his fists hard.

"Even if it's from the Geshu tribe, you can't be so arrogant! Angels, why don't you give them a little color! Ma Xuan said coldly.

Bian Lingcheng waved his hand again and again: "Renjie, do you want to kill everyone?" General Geshu Jian is in the heart of the emperor, and now the holy family is in the middle of the king, and he will not punish him for disobeying the Son of Heaven in front of Wang Zhonghei. If you shoot hundreds of people from the Goshu tribe, and General Geshu is angry, a certain family can't afford it! ”

"And then just look at them arrogantly? There is no royal law here! Ma Lan said angrily.

"Renjie, don't be rash, forget it! Never mind! Bian Lingcheng smiled bitterly, "For a few Persian slaves, you can't anger General Geshu." ”

Mu Kun rode back on a camel and begged repeatedly: "Angel, general, hurry up and save my people!" ”

Ma Lan didn't speak with a cold face, and Feng Changqing turned his head away from him. Bian Lingcheng coughed, shook his head and said, "This is the clansman of General Ge Shuhan, and a certain family can't help." Mu Kun, a certain family will send someone to send you to Chang'an, of course, if you want to spit back Huoluo, it's up to you, you choose! ”
