The Anxi Tang Army has undergone a lot of personnel changes in the lower jaws. Along with the personnel changes came organizational adjustments.
Originally, it was only seven battalions of 2,700 people who set off, but now that the Xingwu battalion has returned, two more non-combat battalions have been added: the prisoner battalion and the logistics battalion. The prisoner camp had a total of 700 prisoners, and the logistics camp was made up of small trained slaves.
After the military tent meeting, after the captains of the battalions sorted out their troops, the combat teams of the five battalions set off one after another, and Yang Sanggan led the Guangwu battalion to stay behind to guard the ja ersi, and at the same time monitor the prisoners and the logistics battalions.
Until Zhang Mai had already left Jaws, the residents of the city were kept in the dark and did not know what was happening. Even the low-level soldiers of the Tang Army, such as Xiaoshi, only set off in a hurry under the leadership of the generals, and were not even told what happened and where they were going. Fortunately, Zhang Mai's successive victories during this period of time have given the whole army confidence in his leadership, and some people have even developed blind worship in their hearts.
"Follow Envoy Zhang, it's always right!" Little Stone said.
At the same time, Kulan City still didn't know what was going on on in Ja Ersi. Although a few defeated soldiers escaped from the ambush outside the city, after the defeat and scattering of these stragglers, they naturally ran to Talas, and none of them came to Kulan City. When Talas heard about it, he hurriedly sent someone to Kulan City to inform Baga, but that was already a few days later.
On this day, Baga marched rapidly, and arrived at Kulan City on the morning of the fifth day after his departure, and Lyce (the lord of the city) of Kulan City Fairdry hurriedly went out to meet him, and Baga asked: "I have recently heard that there are giants who are plundering everywhere and are coming to attack Kulan City, and your side may be harassed." β
Fairdry said: "I did hear the news a few days ago, and I also strengthened my precautions, but I haven't seen any movement, let alone giants, not even ordinary robbers." β
"Is it fake?" Baga frowned, but still took over the defense of Kulan City according to Sekan's orders.
There are more than 1,180 resident soldiers in Kulan City, after all, this city is different from Ba'ersi, the number of residents in the suburbs of the city is more than 20,000, and there are many merchants, among which the Abdul Azim family, one of the three major horse merchants in the Western Regions, is the most famous, but the area of Talas still maintains considerable commercial vitality in the hands of Saman, and it will be much weaker when it is transferred to the hands of Hui Hui, including the Abdul Azim family has also lost its former business leadership status, and even the status of the richest man in Kulan City is in jeopardy.
A few days ago, when I heard that there was a "giant robber" coming to commit crimes, the whole city's large and small businesses were nervous, or contributed money or effort or people, almost every family went out, and soon gathered two or three thousand people, but a few days passed, not to mention any giant cowards, not even a wild dog appeared outside, and thousands of people who had temporarily gathered slowly dispersed, and they all said: "I don't know where the rumor came from!" β
At this time, I heard that Talas had also sent soldiers and horses, and they all laughed secretly: "Saikan is known as a general, and he is guarding back to the western frontier, but he has also been deceived by such nonsense rumors. Hui is also the great enemy of Samani in this area, who dares to provoke Bogra Khan except Saman? Dare to harass Kulan City? If the Samanian side wants to come to Talas, this is the mainland, what can happen? β
Someone even said: "This is probably a rumor spread by the Samanites, and when they have lured the troops and horses of Talas here, they will attack Talas - wait and see, and in less than ten days you will hear a warning from Talas!" β
Therefore, after Baga took over the defense of Kulan City, he called on the whole city to go out, and everyone did not react, only a few hundred people came scattered, and they were all lazy and unmotivated. Although the merchants of Kulan City were quite wealthy, the official finances were not very rich, and Baga and Lysfeldde found it difficult to calculate the accounts, so they did not call for any more people.
After a day, nothing happened, and the inhabitants of the city were even more like that giant or something, just a rumor. Baga even brought the two herdsmen who escaped to Kulan City for strict interrogation again, and the two men insisted that they had indeed been captured by the Tang army, and Baga pondered carefully and felt that they did not look like they were lying. However, Leysfeld was also skeptical.
Baga thought, "Let's wait for Ali to come, and then we will discuss what to do." "While reporting safety to the other side of Talas.
After another two days, Ali still hadn't arrived, and Baga scolded: "This Ali, walking is really slow!" "But think that the road of Jaw Ersi is not as straight as the road he walked, and besides, Ali will have to recruit native soldiers when he arrives at Jaw Ersi.
It was almost evening, but two soldiers came running to report the news, claiming to be Ali's men, and asked to see Baga, who hurriedly summoned him and asked, "Is Ali here?" β
The man panted and said, "Ali Dikhkan, you have fought with a group of robbers on the side of Mount Label, twenty miles south of the city!" β
Baga was slightly taken aback: "Robbers? Could it be that some kind of coward? β
"I don't know this, anyway, they are very fierce, they suddenly appeared from the valley and caught us off guard, Ali Di Hecan sent the captain of Marseille and brought a team of cavalry to break through and ask for help, but they were intercepted by a group of robbers on the way, and only the two of us broke through. General, go for reinforcements. As he spoke, he handed over a letter asking for help, which was stained with blood: "The captain of Marseille was shot dead by robbers, and before he died, he gave the letter to the younger one." β
When Baga took the letter, he suddenly felt that the person who had come to report it did not look like a reply, and asked, "What are your names?" Which battalion of Talas is it from? "Which battalion is the organization, which part is the family.
The man said, "The little one is called Ma Xiaochun, this one is called the dry monkey, we are all the shepherd slaves of the chin Ersi, two days ago Ali Dikhkan suddenly came to the chin Ersi, untied the shackles of the little ones, gave the little ones weapons, and requisitioned the little ones to come here, and the little ones belonged to the captain of Marseille. β
This language is also on the road, the weapon in his hand is also the weapon of the chin Ersi soldiers, but Baga is cautious, Marseille he knows, so he asked some things about Marseille, seeing that Ma Xiaochun can also tell Marseille's appearance, and the situation of Chin Ersi, he can also say one, two, three, this is undoubted, take the letter and open it, there is also Ali's horn seal on it, the letter is scribbled, and there are bloodstains, I think it is caused by the crisis, but the handwriting is correct, and there is no doubt, so he called the city lord Fairdade and told him that he knew about it, said: "It seems that the giant is really there, I will go out of the city to reinforce Ali, you guard the city well." If I don't come, don't open the gates. β
So he brought with him 800 troops, as well as 500 private soldiers who had just been summoned in the city, and it was time to start making dinner.
Baga ordered Ma Xiaochun to lead the way, sent people to follow him with swords, and killed them as soon as there was a trick. Eight hundred cavalry followed, followed by five hundred private soldiers, led by Meng You, the steward of the Abdul Azim family in Kulan City.
Walking twenty miles to the south, it was already dark, but there were no Ali's troops in sight, and there were no robbers, Baga became suspicious, and Ma Xiaochun shouted: "It's really here, it's really here!" We're here to fight! β
A detective came to report: "There are indeed traces of a fight nearby, and there are still some blood stains." β
Baga muttered, "Search! β
The scouts rode out in all directions, and after a while, they reported to the southeast: "There is a situation on the side of the Eight Times Mountain!" β
Urging the troops to the southeast, all the way are messy hoof prints, which are hundreds of horses stepping out, can not be faked, and then get closer, I heard the sound of killing, Bajia said in his heart: "Ali does not go to Kulan City, but is forced to come this way, could it be that this gang of robbers is really so rampant, he has fallen behind!" β
Then he heard the report from the detective horseman: "On the eightfold mountain to the south!" Our men were surrounded on top, and there were robbers below. β
There is only one line left in the sunset, Baga catches up with Lixu, passes a valley mouth, overlooks in the dusk, and sees that there is Ali's banner shaking on the eightfold mountain, and the mountain is surrounded by two circles, but the terrain is quite steep, the people below can't attack it, but the people above can't rush down, Baga looked at the surrounding terrain and said: "Ali knows how to fight after all, and if you retreat here, you won't be afraid of being besieged." No matter how strong the enemy is, he can defend it and wait for reinforcements. β
Seeing that the soldiers and horses on the mountain rushed down several times, but they could not break through, and the two sides were deadlocked, Baga pondered the strength of the enemy and us, and thought: "This group of giants is afraid that there are not one or two thousand people, but it seems that the combat power is average, although it surrounds Ali, but it can't break through Ali's defense, if we should cooperate with the outside, we will definitely win!" Ordered: "Blow the horn!" Get ready to flank! β
The horn whined and whined, and there was also a horn on the mountain, and Bagata was overjoyed, knowing that it was Ali who was responding to him, at this time, as long as Ali rushed down from the mountain, he killed himself from the bottom of the mountain, and attacked inside and outside, he could defeat this gang of giants!
"Dihekan! The bandits look like they're on the run! β
Seeing that the soldiers and horses under the mountain were loosening, Baga wanted to see more clearly, but when he saw the situation, he did not hesitate and shouted: "Rush! Don't let them run! Catch it and torture it to see where the robber came out! β
He stopped outside the battlefield to raise a horsepower, and then let the horse rush, and the giant kou besieged under the mountain could not dodge, so he had to face the battle, and at the same time the troops on the mountain also rushed down, and under the two phases, the "giant kou" surrounding the mountain was cut in half when the sunset completely fell!
Victory!
Seeing the soldiers and horses rushing down from the mountain, the Hui cavalry were all excited, and Meng Youwang, who was a reinforcement behind him, knew that as long as the two sides met the division, the "bandit group" surrounding the mountain would immediately disperse, so he ordered to prepare to intercept the deserters.
When the two armies were about to meet up and down, Baghaha laughed and shouted, "Ali! You're not dead yet! β
But I heard a long laugh from the army above: "Ali has already died!" β
The besieged "Hui army" rushed down, and the Hui army at the bottom of the mountain was stunned and let the horses rush in, the sun had set, the torches had not yet been lit, and in the twilight, Baga vaguely saw a young knight rushing straight forward, and the opponent's horse was a downhill impact, which was extremely fierce! Barcah shouted, "What for, what forβ"
The last half of the word was not spit out, and a spear with the horsepower of the downward rush had pierced his throat, and the whole person was propped up, and before the throat could rot, Baga was already dead, and the blood seeped along the spear to the young man's right hand, but Baga's body became a banner for the young knight to show off his might. __________________________________________________ββββββββββββββββββββββββ tickets ^_^
