Zhang Mai came to the Longxiang camp, the generals have gathered, see Zhang Mai, have petitioned, hoping to attack, Zhang Mai said: "Everyone from Zhaoshan to follow me here, and then attack the Ba Ersi, several battles, and from the city of Kulan hundreds of miles back to the valley of Dengxia, seeing that most of the people are now tired and panicked. I think it's better to rest and rest until I have enough strength. ”

But the soldiers of the Longxiang battalion below all shouted: "We don't want to rest, we are willing to go out of the valley with the envoy to kill the enemy!" ”

Zhang Mai listened to the joy, went down to each team, saw that everyone was in high spirits, and everyone saw him loudly asking for battle, Zhang Mai knew that this was indeed the sincerity of the soldiers of the Longxiang battalion, not the presumptuous words of some generals, and he stayed in the Longxiang battalion that night, and lay down with the soldiers.

Early the next morning, Zhang Mai came to see Guo Shidao and told him about the situation last night, thinking that the morale of the Longxiang camp was booming and he could go on another expedition: "Let's rest when we come back." ”

Guo Luo also helped to ask for a battle on the side, and Guo Shidao also allowed it, replacing the Flying Bear Camp with the Longxiang Battalion, and continuing to be the main camp of this expedition.

At this time, Leopard Tao and Zhenwu, Xingwu, Guangwu four battalions have been prepared, Zhang Mai passed the order to change the main battalion, Long Xiang the whole army cheered like thunder, Guo Luo ordered to assemble, only a tea time to assemble, that is, Guo Shiyong, Yang Dingbang, seeing that the Long Xiang battalion has such a swift action force also nodded secretly, Yang Dingbang said in his heart: "The training of my Leopard Tao battalion may be more than that of the Long Xiang battalion, but when it comes to military morale, it is not as good as it." ”

Since this was expected to be only a harassment war, and it would not be a long-term expedition, the Metropolitan Protectorate did not arrange for the military and civilians to send each other, and the fifth battalion took advantage of the fact that noon had not yet arrived, and drove out of the valley, and 1,800 men rode horses or camels, all of which were light horses.

Liu An accompanied him as a guerrilla army Sima and led the way with Ding Hanshan and others.

Dengxia Valley is located in the north of Talas, and it is not far from the straight-line distance, but the real road is not a straight line on the map, and it is not possible to look at Sinan Pan and go straight to the south. His way to Talas was to find the dry part of the Talas River in the southwest, and then to the southeast to reach Talas.

"That's the best way to go." Liu An said.

In the past half a month, the Hui people have sent out detectives, but the desert is so vast that even if tens of thousands of cavalry are dispatched, they may not be able to carry out a carpet search on the Broken Leaf Desert.

Seeing that there has been no news of "Tang Kou" for half a month, the generals who returned to Hui did not dare to get tired, and the two battles between Jaw Ersi and Julan City hurt them.

At this moment, the dragon camp suddenly appeared near Talas. Talas is an important town in the west of Hui, the city has a large population, and the people are fierce, since hearing that the city of Julan was attacked, Sekan immediately issued a conscription order, in just three days more than 3,000 militia were recruited, half of them were better to enlist directly, half of them were used as militia to assist in the defense, and Saikan himself led 4,500 cavalry to Kulan City, leaving his deputy Mansur to defend the city.

At dusk on this day, the soldiers on the sentry post ten miles north of Talas City were yawning, and suddenly a strong wind blew from the north, blowing the sand and dust, and the dust gradually thinned. ”

"Mirage?"

His companion opened his eyes, wiped his, looked at it fixedly, and jumped up violently: "What a mirage!" It's an enemy attack! Enemy attack! ”

"Is it Saman? Or Tang Kou? ”

"From the north, it should be Tang Kou!"

The trumpet of the guard sounded, and the gates of the city were quickly closed, but there were still many shepherds outside the city who had not had time to retreat.

It was the Longxiang battalion that attacked head-on, there were only more than 600 people, Mansourden looked at the city, and saw that there were not many soldiers and horses coming, so he wanted to lead the troops out of the city to intercept, but his deputy Harun said: "General, be careful that Tang Kou has a trick!" I heard that this time Baga was planning to go out of the city, but he lost the battle, not only did he die, but he also lost the city of Kulan. And Masouud, what a powerful character! I heard that he also died a tragic death. ”

What the Tang army did north of the Broken Leaf River, ordinary people either didn't hear about it at all, or didn't know about it, but these high-ranking generals knew.

Mansour, however, was a warrior who refused to flinch lightly, and he said: "I will not go far, you let the lookout soldiers keep an eye on you, and if you find that something is wrong, you will blow a short trumpet, and I will go back to the city." So he took a thousand cavalry out of the city to defend against the enemy.

It was the Longxiang camp that rushed straight over, they were driving cattle and sheep outside the city, blocking the herdsmen from returning to the city, seeing Mansur out of the city, Zhang Mai instead led the troops to retreat slightly, Mansur saw that they were coming and leaving, the shape was different, so he didn't dare to rush too quickly, just slowly approached, to see that the two armies were about to approach, suddenly a short horn sounded in the city, Mansur secretly shouted: "Not good!" Tang Kou really has a trick! "Hurry back, this time the horse's head turned a little hurriedly, and the soldiers were a little panicked when they heard the horn urging them to return to the city, and the team looked a little chaotic.

"Rush me!" Zhang Mai waved his horsewhip and shouted, "Don't go back and let the Flying Bear Battalion say that we occupy the pit and don't!" He said a very vulgar remark, but the whole battalion was provoked to fight bravely, shouting: "Rush! Rush! him! ”

The envoys are all in person, who is not brave?

This opportunity to go out was won by all the soldiers of the Longxiang Battalion, if you don't have a record to go back, wouldn't you be laughed at?

"Rush, rush, rush!"

Under the rapid advance of the horse, the vanguard of the Long Xiang battalion bit the rear of the Hui army.

"Kill, kill, kill!"

The men and horses rushing up behind had surrounded the more than 100 cavalry that were behind, and the more than 100 cavalry who rushed to the front still chased Mansur closely, and chased them to the bottom of the city wall.

Al-Mansur did not dare to return to the city, so he went straight into the city, then closed the gates, went up to the city and asked, "What is the matter?" Why is the trumpet blowing so urgently? ”

Harlan pointed into the distance and said, "Look. ”

Following his fingers, Mansur saw another camel soldier in the distance - it was Guo Shiyong's troops, each of these camel soldiers dragged firewood and grass behind them, lined up, and the smoke and dust were billowing behind, and it was impossible to figure out how many people and horses there were.

Harlan pointed in another direction: "Look, look! ”

It turned out that the Longxiang battalion was attacking head-on, but the other four battalions were divided into detours and became outflanked.

"Whew! I almost fell for their tricks again! This gang of Tang Kou is really cunning! No wonder even Masouud was planted in their hands. ”

However, as soon as he retreated, he could only watch the Tang army wipe out the Hui soldiers who were stranded outside. The soldiers of the Longxiang battalion did not catch the main force of the enemy, so they poured all their anger on these Hui Hui, and the knives were slashed one by one, until finally someone shouted surrender and could not hold back.

Mansur was furious when he saw it at the head of the city: "These Tang Kou are not only cunning, but also terrifyingly fierce!" "While defending tightly, he sent people out of the city from the south, and made a detour to the east to report to the city of Kulan.

"It's really unlucky, aren't these Tang Kou on the side of Julan City? How did you run to Talus? Hmph, when you turn around and come back, you have to show me a look! ”

"Then what's the solution, these Tang Kou, even Bogra Khan can't do anything about them. I don't know where it came from. Harlan said.

Mansour said: "Then you don't know, these Tang Kou have always had them, but they were just petty fights before, and they weren't so rampant, so many people don't know." Besides, they had always been active in the Shule Mountains and on the north bank of the Broken Leaf River, and even if they were more daring, they rushed to the vicinity of Barasagon, but they never ran to the side of Talas. Hearing that Arslan Khan's favorite nephew, Taikesh, was reasoning with a group of disobedient slaves, the group of Tang Kou suddenly rushed out of nowhere and killed Taikesh. When the Great Khan of Arslan heard of this, he was on a safari in the area of Balinkur (Yibohai), and was furious, and immediately ordered Masoud and our Bogra Khan to go with him and wipe out the Donko. As a result, I didn't expect that Tang Kou not only didn't get rid of it, but also became more and more fierce! Masoud lost his life. ”

Talas is already the border between the Hui and the Samanid Dynasty, more than 20 years of frequent wars, swords and soldiers, there are some irrigated farmland in the suburbs, at this time most of them also grow into grass, although the Hui to the Samani is more when to attack, less time to defend, but the Qarakhanid Dynasty started as a nomadic herder, did not pay attention to agriculture, the countryside in the suburbs has been almost completely deserted, Zhang Mai can only plunder livestock.

After nightfall, the Longxiang battalion retreated with the livestock captives, Guo Shiyong and Yang Dingbang stepped forward in turn, the second watch pretended to attack, and the third watch pretended to attack the city, disturbing the soldiers and civilians in the city to sleep well.

This was the case on the first day, and again the next day.

After three days like this, Mansour couldn't bear it anymore and said, "These Tang Kou, it seems that there are not so many troops. ”

How many troops the Tang army has, it can still dazzle people when it is attacked, but it will definitely show its bottom when attacking the city. Siege is a personal sea work, unless there is an overwhelming advantage in weapons, the attacker always has to invest much more troops than the defender, and at this time, the actual strength of the Tang army outside the city is less than the Hui defenders inside the city. The reason why the Hui people were frightened was that they changed from ignorance to suspicion of the Tang Army, and went from one extreme to another.

But when Mansour realized this and was about to go out of the city to fight again, the gang of "Tang Kou" suddenly disappeared without a trace.
