However, Ziad also understands that it is dangerous to go west, and if it goes on like this, sooner or later it will be caught up by the Tang army.

Thinking of this, he turned north, preparing to cross the mountain trail and make a long detour back to Talas.

He regretted it a little, and drove Yuan En back to Talas yesterday, otherwise it would have been more convenient for him to escape with Yuan En by his side, and he had a guide who was familiar with the nearby roads.

The road in the mountains is rocky, he is not familiar with the road, and he only has more than ten horsemen, and they are all big cannibals, not even a stone countryman. Therefore, he ran for a while, but found that he was only separated from the place where he was just a mountain, and he did not leave the danger zone at all.

Not only that, but on the top of the mountain, Ziad also saw that the two Tang troops who had just been chasing after him roared over again, and it seemed that they had realized that the black horse rider was not him, and they had come back to look for him.

"Damn," Ziad scolded again, and without bothering to discern the road, he rushed in the direction where there was no one.

He ran wildly all the way, from morning to noon, without a drop of water in the middle, so hungry that his heart was close to his back, dizzy and weak. Not only him, but also his horse could not bear it, and his speed slowed down significantly, and from time to time he took two bites on the grass on the side of the road. However, at this time, he was far away from the battlefield and could not hear the shouts of killing, so Ziad finally put his mind at ease.

When he dismounted, one of the guards offered the bread he had brought with him, and Ziad devoured half of it, and when the rest of the guards looked at it, he gave them the remaining half.

The wheezing was settled, he looked at the dozen or so riders who followed him, first cried bitterly, and after crying a few times, he laughed loudly.

These guards looked at each other, wondering if the general had become a madman because of the fiasco. One person cautiously asked: "General, you, you have nothing to do, right?" ”

"Nothing, nothing"

"I've heard the Tang people say that victory and defeat are ordinary things, even if we lose this time, we can come again, general, don't take it to heart." The subordinate looked at Ziad with trepidation.

"Don't worry, don't worry, I've cheered up, such a fiasco, such a humiliation, I've cheered up" Ziyad had a twisted smile on his face: "I must get out alive, I must make a comeback, I must take revenge, rest assured, I am not crazy, I know what to do...... Everyone's rested, let's go."

Everyone was in a hurry to leave this dangerous place, where could they really rest, and immediately got up and fled. After walking another seven or eight miles, they saw that they could get out of Baishiling, and there was no water on the road, so they turned back to the road

"Someone, it's our people" Seeing a slightly higher hillside, there were about 100 people in the horizontal area, Ziad's personal guards were nervous at first, and then cheered.

It's really a big cannibal here, but it's also a disgraced face, and it looks like it's the back team left in the original barracks, and it finds that something is wrong and escapes. They snatched some food from the barracks, and after offering it to Ziad, Ziad and his party were finally full.

But this time they were eating while fleeing, and they fled five or six miles, and when they saw the defeat of hundreds of remnants of the army in front of them, they staggered and shrank on both sides of a stream. All of them were exhausted, and when they saw them coming, they were lazily refusing to get up.

"It's the people of Shiguo, they're good, they didn't suffer any losses," Ziad said indignantly.

These things of the people of Shiguo did not throw anything, and many of them even had gold and silver ornaments on them, and they didn't know which deceased they were picked from. Ziad's eagle eyes circled around them, these guys couldn't even compare to one-tenth of the elite of his lineage, but they escaped, and their own elite only had more than a hundred people left around him.

The people of Shiguo are familiar with the nearby geography, and it is normal for them to escape by taking advantage of the chaos to seize some supplies. But Ziad was unhappy in his heart, so he did not restrain his subordinates, and his cronies went over, drove these Shiguo people away, and took some of their food.

But before they could catch their breath, they heard someone laughing behind them: "Good, good"

Ziad changed color and turned his face, and saw a valley, suddenly rushed out of more than 500 people, the leader was holding a Mo knife, thick beard and tiger eyes, his expression moved: He knew this person, the bravest general under Gao Xianzhi's account

Under the city of Talas, although he won, in those days of fierce battles, Li Siye also left a deep impression on him. Seeing Li Siye appear here at this time, Ziad's heart almost jumped out of his throat

He worked hard, escaped for most of the day, and even lost his honor and self-esteem, seeing that he could escape from Baishiling, escape to Talas City, and flee back to the river to regain his strength, but here, he was caught up by the Tang army

And what caught up was still a few fierce generals in the Tang Army

The hairs on the back of his neck stood up, and Ziad felt that his eyes seemed to sting a little, because Li Siye's gaze was staring straight at him.

"He knows who I am, and he came for me."

Ziad thought well, Li Siye came for him, and under the leadership of the captive, Li Siye chased all the way and persevered, and finally broke through here and caught up with Ziyad.

"Ziade, you can't escape" Li Siye pointed at Qi Yade from afar.

At this time, Ziad did not hesitate anymore, and ordered his subordinates to form a formation, the number of the two sides was not much different, and he could also rely on the big cannibal army formation to fight the enemy, if he could defeat the enemy, he might be able to deter the pursuers, so that they would not dare to chase after them any longer.

The premise is that he can defeat Li Siye in the shortest possible time.

His big food soldiers were arranged according to the order, but those Shi Guo soldiers were exhausted at this time, and they would rather lie on the ground and wait for the Tang people to catch them than get up. Ziad kicked and kicked in the past, pulled up one, and then fell down again, he drew a knife and wanted to kill people, but at this time, Li Siye had already burst in front of him.

"Kill" Li Siye rushed in with a shout, and the Mo knife in his hand slashed out, and a big food knife that the horizontal knife wanted to block was split, and the person became two pieces.

The Tang army rushed with him and cut the big cannibal in an instant, and at this time, Ziad was horrified to find that his troops, even if they were sufficient, could not form a military formation to fight against the Tang army, because in the process of escaping, they were thrown away except for short weapons such as waist knives, whether they were bows and crossbows or spears

He also made a mistake in a hurry, and when he saw that things were not good, he turned around and wanted to escape, but in such a situation, how could Li Siye let him escape?

Li Siye chased after him with an arrow step, swept the horizontal knife, and the two big food soldiers who came to stop him were swept away, in front of him and Ziade, there was no hindrance, he laughed together, flew up, raised the Mo knife, and slapped Ziyad's back with the blade of the knife.

This is a big fish, and only when it is caught alive can it be of maximum value.

Ziad only felt a strong slap behind him, and he stumbled and fell to the ground. Although he is a general, Wu Yong is far inferior to Li Siye, and he has been exhausted for a long time, but he has supported him until now. Now after falling down, the breath is gone, although it still symbolically crawls forward, but when a big foot steps on his back, he can only sigh long.

All of a sudden, his whole body was in pain and paralyzed, and he didn't even have the strength to kill himself with a horizontal knife.

"Finally caught this thief" Li Siye cut down a big food soldier who rushed to the rescue, and the soldiers around him also hugged him and protected him, he turned the Mo knife around, hit the ground hard, looked up and laughed, and his heart was indescribably happy.

The defeat outside Talas had always been a barrier in his heart, and at this time it was finally poured out, making him almost dance.

He was smiling happily here, and the Tang army that came with him encircled the big eaters, the people of the Shi Kingdom had already surrendered if they couldn't fight, and the main general was captured again, and those big cannibals had no will to fight, and they all abandoned their blades and knelt down, and a few who wanted to fight to the death were also shot down by the Tang people directly with bows and crossbows.

"Ziad is mine" Li Siye was happily ordering his subordinates to tie up the captives, but he heard another shout behind him. He raised his eyes and saw that the monk Shanzhi was bareheaded, and he rode like a whirlwind.

But immediately I heard someone shouting again: "The monk is talking nonsense, Ziad is mine"

From the other side, Wang Yang'er is also very eager to urge the horse, not to be left behind.

Seeing that the two of them were leading their own troops here, Li Siye smiled and said: "So that the two of you know that this Ziad is already my old Li's."

"What, you thief, you actually robbed me of my first merit" Wang Yang'er suddenly shouted.

Shanzhi complained in frustration: "If it weren't for your chatter, this Ziyad would have fallen into my hands long ago."

"You also said that if you hadn't come out in the middle to scare him away, there would have been ten of Ziad, and I would have caught him."

Seeing that the two of them were arguing together, looking like they were about to fight, Li Siye was proud, but he also thought that they were all Ye Chang's favorite generals, if the two of them fought directly, Ye Chang would not be able to explain it. Thinking of this, he persuaded: "Capturing this Ziad is not the first merit, capturing Talas is the first merit, Ye Zhongcheng loves soldiers the most, in Talas, and thousands of our brothers have been taken prisoner, if they can be rescued and the city is taken, wouldn't it be better than a Ziad?" ”

He has more eyes than Shanzhi and Wang Yang'er, Shanzhi and Wang Yang'er thought about it, and the two saw that the victory was decided, and then turned back to catch more prisoners, and immediately glanced at each other, and immediately urged the horse to go west again.

Wang Yang'er rushed forward vigorously, after all, he followed Ye Chang for a longer time, and somewhat abided by some rules, and said to Li Siye: "I'm going to Talas, Lao Li, since you thief have robbed me of my credit, Zhongcheng will say something for me."

"The monk is rude," Li Siye snorted: "But I should go down to this matter."

He knows that Ye Chang has always called Shanzhi his brother, and Shanzhi calls him Lao Li, which is indeed rude, but also with affection, which shows that his efforts have been accepted by Ye Chang's descendants, Ye Chang's descendants do not regard him as an outsider, but the value is far higher than being treated by Shanzhi with courtesy.

Ziad was in despair at this point, and it seemed to him that his true god had completely abandoned him. Although he prayed many times along the way, and although he was willing to give everything he had, the battle situation was still on the side of Datang. And all of this is because of the inexplicable water.

"You put the water?" When he was lifted up and tied to the horse, he raised his head and said to Li Siye with difficulty.

Li Siye didn't understand the language of the big food, and he didn't know what he was talking about, and the Hu man in the river who pointed out the escape route of Ziad followed him for a while, and hurriedly translated when he heard the words. After listening, Li Siye laughed, and got on the war horse again with a Mo knife.

These war horses, all of which he collected along the way, originally belonged to the enemy, but now they belong to the Tang Dynasty.

"As you said, this water was put by us, and we Ye Zhongcheng had already prepared a water attack plan, but the funny thing is that you walked into the trap without knowing it, and you were still proud...... It's just a barbarian, it's a bit brave, how can it compare to our Chinese wisdom? ”

He turned his head and said contemptuously to Li Siye, and then waved his hand: "Sons, let's go back, I think Ye Zhongcheng has already prepared wine and meat, and he will get drunk today."

The troops cheered, Ziad tilted his head to look at the Hu man, after listening to his translation, Rao Shi had fled for most of the day, and his eyes still flashed with horror: "This...... This is impossible, is he a devil, otherwise, how could he summon the great waters? ”

"The Tang people are not devils, but you cannibals are no different from the devil," the river man shouted: "As long as you don't believe in your true god, you will forcibly collect taxes, and you will demand that as long as we are humble and courteous to the Tang people, we can live well, but for you, even if you are servile, you still want us to destroy our own traditions, destroy our own writing, and dig up our ancestral graves...... The real devil is your great cannibal."

Ziad glared angrily at the hearing of his denigration of the gods, and would have pounced on him if he had not been tied.

The Hu people in the river are not afraid of him now, and sneered: "We have been bathed in the favor of the Central Plains Emperor since the Han Dynasty, if it weren't for Huaxia, you dogs, thieves, pig slaves, would sooner or later become a scourge to the whole world."

He scolded so happily that Li Siye couldn't understand what they said, but he could guess by looking at his expression, he didn't bother to pay attention to these things, and just wanted to go back and ask for credit. The crowd drove the captives, and when they were halfway there, they saw a group of thousands of men and horses coming towards them. When I looked at it, I saw Ye Chang's banner.

"It's Ye Zhongcheng," someone shouted happily.

Li Siye greeted him and saluted Ye Chang: "Ye Zhongcheng, fortunately, he has not failed in his mission, Qi Yade has been captured alive."

Ziad, who was tied to the horse, heard his name, glanced over here, and saw Li Siye saluting a young man, and immediately understood that this was Ye Chang

It was the first time he saw Ye Chang, and he saw the young Tang Army general say something to Li Siye with a smile, and then drove his horse towards him.

In front of Li Siye, Ziad was disheartened, but his stomach was full of unconvinced. But on the opposite side of Ye Chang, he felt that it was better for him to maintain some dignity, so he raised his head, tried to make himself less embarrassed, and then looked at Ye Chang.

The two looked at each other, but didn't say anything, Ye Chang nodded with a light smile, and then continued to drive forward: "Let's go, go to Talas, this city, we are finally going to take it"

The armies cheered up, and Li Siye and his subordinates stepped aside, watching them go west like a surging river. It was already in the afternoon, and the sun was setting, just in front of this group of Tang troops, dyeing them a golden color
