Thank you to everyone who voted for me, thank you. I have written down your names in a small book

……

Ma Lu appeared outside the city of Shule, and the Han people who knew the news cheered loudly, and soon the news spread throughout the city of Shule.

Ma Luan's reputation in Anxi is now much better than that of the tall general at the beginning. Seeing his banner, the hearts of the Hanmin people in Shule Town were put back in their stomachs.

How could Posnu, the black-clothed thief, be the opponent of General Marlin? This time, the crisis was naturally resolved.

The 5,000 heavily armed soldiers did not stop at Shule Town, but left the city directly and slowly searched in the northwest direction.

When the army is in a state of imminent battle, it naturally needs to save strength, so it is impossible to march too fast. A large number of light horsemen were sent out to search in front of the army.

A few hours later, the light cavalry came to report and found the enemy's main force.

At this time, it was getting late, and Ma Ling led the army to set up camp, preparing to rest for a night, and then completely eliminate this part of the enemy.

Outside the camp, three wide trenches were dug and sprinkled with sharp thistles. Although the barbed wire produced in the Ma family's workshop was not much, it was enough to put a layer behind each trench. There were three avenues at the camp gate, each about two zhang wide, and there was a camp gate behind it, which allowed the cavalry to enter and exit quickly.

This method of camping is also practiced every day. Duan Xiushi accompanied Ma Lu to inspect the barracks a few times and nodded with satisfaction.

"General, such a camp is like a fortified city. If the Persian slaves want to attack at night, they are afraid that they will not return. ”

Ma Ling smiled: "I hope that the Persian slaves will attack at night, so that we don't have to work hard, and these Erlang under him can also suffer less damage." They are all the bravest Anxi men, Cheng Gong, to say something from the heart, I feel distressed if I lose one. ”

Duan Xiushi said with a smile: "Killing three thousand enemies and losing eight hundred is the common sense of ancient times. How can there be immortals who send troops and release horses, the general has been in Anxi for ten years, can't you see through this? ”

Ma Xuan waved it weakly, but found that there was no horsewhip in his hand, and squinted his eyes and said, "Chenggong, you wait and see." One day, I will reduce the battle damage of the Han family to a very low level. ”

Only one of the three camp gates was opened, and the scouts continued to enter and exit, reporting the movements of the black-clad soldiers. The warriors sat together, munching on mutton, laughter echoing through the camp.

The veterans have long been accustomed to all kinds of scenes, so naturally they don't have any burden. For them, the enemy is a military achievement, and they will wait until tomorrow to kill them. Although more than 1,000 recruits were selected from more than 10,000 supplementary soldiers, they could not be calm at the moment. Although he knew that this was to avenge his father and brother who died in the battle of Tanros Chuan, he was still nervous when the matter came, and it was a little difficult to swallow in the face of the sumptuous food in front of him.

"Descendants, eat them all!" A red-faced man in his thirties grabbed a leg of mutton and ate it with a mouthful of oil, and said with a vague smile, "If you want to avenge your father and brothers, how can you do it without strength!" Damn, Lao Tzu has been in the army for more than ten years, so he has the best food this time! Follow General Ma to send troops and release horses, it's his mother's pleasure! ”

A thin man glanced at the red-faced man with disdain, pouted, and said, "What is this!" When Lao Tzu was in the river with General Ma, it was a sudden meal with wine and meat! Do you know about Sa Mo Construction? The wine there is better than that of Schuller! Not only does there be wine and meat all of a sudden, but the things of the Hu family are taken away directly, and the Hu girl who sees them is good-looking and goes directly into the house, then the fucking is called happy! You don't know, the girls there don't wear anything underneath, which makes Lao Tzu think the crotch cloth is in the way. ”

The red-faced man scolded with a smile: "So many post-nators are born here, and there can't be a gatekeeper on the mouth." You're blowing too much, that's a violation of military discipline. ”

"Tang Lu is twenty percent of the young, and he can make up for the offspring of our Anxi Army, and there are a few families who don't have a daughter-in-law, so what's the matter! Lao Tzu is not blowing, Hu Nu's ** Lao Tzu doesn't know how many I have touched, it's big and soft, that taste, tsk! The thin man tore a bite of mutton and continued.

The red-faced man said enviously: "It's a pity that Lao Tzu doesn't have such an opportunity, and there is a yellow-faced woman at home." Tomorrow, maybe I can catch a few Persian girls, and then Lao Tzu will let them see the skills of the Tang Dynasty boys! ”

The thin man took a sip and sneered: "If you dare to do that, General Ma Lan wants your head, and the gods can't save you!" Lao Tzu followed the general all the way in the river, and when he arrived at Tocharo, he didn't let it, saying that those were all Tang vassals, and they could only be appeased and not evil. There are a few brothers in Ashu City who have been disposed of by the general's military law and lost their heads, and now we are fighting on the ground in Anxi, in our Datang, if you dare to move that crooked eye, you will not have a chance to touch your yellow-faced mother-in-law again. ”

The red-faced man sighed and said, "It's a pity! It seems that tomorrow I will catch the Persian lady, and Lao Tzu can only take a look at it! When will I be able to go to the river with the general again, Lao Tzu will not even wear a crotch cloth at that time! ”

"Wait! The general said that one day he would cross the green mountain again to avenge the athletes who died in the battle of the Talas River. Don't let Posnu cut off your head tomorrow, there's always a chance to live well. ”

The words of the two veterans attracted the attention of the people around them, and the recruits listened to the veterans' words, and they forgot about their nervousness for a while.

The more than 1,000 recruits and veterans were mixed, and most of the ten soldiers in each group were veterans, listening to the veterans vulgarly talking about meat, holding steaming mutton in their hands, the recruits slowly forgot their nervousness and began to eat in large gulps.

Dozens of miles away, on a wide meadow, black flags fluttered everywhere. The Persian camp was extremely disheveled, and at the moment it was all nervously buried in the twilight, and smoke rose from the dilapidated felt tents.

A small number of Persian knights patrolled outside the camp, and there were more than a hundred Tang scouts on the hillside in the distance, watching the Persians from a distance.

Each of them had three war horses by his side.

A middle-aged Persian man with a thick skeleton stood in the center of the camp with a scimitar in his hand, looking at the Tang army scouts on the hillside in the distance, his face was extremely serious.

The scouts of the Tang army have been placed here, and the scouts he sent out have never returned after leaving the barracks.

Tang Jun was too arrogant, but he had no choice.

After a lot of hard work to climb over the green mountains, even the last camel was lost on the shore of Atami. These horses were stolen from the Turks in the foothills, and although there were many of them, few of his men could fight on horseback.

The Persians were not originally a people on horseback, only the barbarians of the steppe were born knights. The scouts he had sent out were already the best riders he could find, and now they were all back in the arms of the God of Light.

Among the people around him, only a few hundred of his cronies are devout followers of the God of Light, and the others have turned their backs on the God of Light and become Hu Da's slaves. Although these apostates are hateful, after all, the God of Light is the only merciful God, and when they die, they still have to return to the arms of the God of Light, and the merciful God of Light will forgive them.

Without good riders, he had no way to take those Tang Army scouts. The rest of the knights, though angry, could not do anything about it. Just under the hillside occupied by the Tang army scouts, there were already dozens of corpses of Persian knights.

These abominable apostates are his people after all, and it is his duty to find a way for them to survive. If it weren't for the responsibility on his body, he would have escaped into Khorezm with his subordinates, how could he join these apostates and climb over the green mountains to set foot on the land of the Tang Dynasty.

The despicable Sogdian king wanted them all to die in the land of the Tang Dynasty, but he could not let the Sogdian king do so, although the Sogdian king was also a believer in the God of Light. It is his innate responsibility to keep these people alive.

His people turned their backs on his empire, but he could not abandon his people.

Dozens of knights couldn't stand the prying eyes of the Tang army scouts, and howled and charged towards the hillside, he watched from a distance and did not stop him.

On the hillside, a Tang Army officer shouted something, and the Tang Army scouts raised their hard crossbows one by one, ruthlessly wrenching them. Dozens of crossbow arrows rained down, easily piercing the knights' thin leather armor.

Most of the knights fell to the ground, and the remaining knights continued to roar and rush forward. It was not the God of Light who made them not afraid of life and death, but the non-existent Hu Da.

The Tang army scout who shot the crossbow arrows retreated and wound up, and the other half of the Tang army scouts stepped forward immediately, and another wave of crossbow arrows was fired. The rest of the knights also rolled off their horses, and the wounded horses scattered in all directions.

The Persian man looked at this scene with an extremely calm expression on his face.

The Tang people have given too many favors to his family, so he doesn't have any hatred for the Tang people. All he has to do now is to take these people to survive.

Only by defeating the Tang people can he win the respect of the Tang people, and the Tang people may be able to give his people a little space to survive.

The knights outside the camp gate were missing a large chunk, and the remaining knights cursed loudly, but no one dared to rush forward again.

One of the guards brought a piece of rough horse meat, and the Persian man took it and ate it slowly, meticulously.

After eating the horse meat and drinking another bag of water, the Persian man looked back to see that the smoke in the camp was dissipating, and the soldiers had regained their strength and were quickly assembled under the shouts of the elders. Women and children stood at the door of the tent, the children were elated, but the women's faces were full of sorrow.

This time out, you will face the elite Anxi Iron Cavalry. After this battle, it is not known how many people will be able to return.

The rudimentary camp gate was opened by the warriors, and the cavalry at the gate gave way to the way. It was already almost dark, and the Tang Army scouts in the distance had already lit torches.

A group of poorly armored foot soldiers rushed out and lined up in a neat phalanx at the gate of the camp. All eyes were on him, waiting for his orders.

Being able to carry so many people over the green mountain alive has won the recognition of these people.

The Persian man took a deep breath and slowly walked to the front of the phalanx, surrounded by hundreds of guards.

The torches were lit, and the army moved slowly, heading south.

"The black-clothed thief wants to rob the camp, go and tell the general." On the hillside, Ma Yong looked at the tide of Persian infantry below and said in a deep voice.
