The latitude of Damascus City is about the same as that of Kaifeng, and the early summer mornings are cool. Hao Kang got up early to prepare for returning to Baghdad, and now that he had finished watching the performance, Hao Kang just wanted to return to Baghdad as soon as possible.

The guards also got up early, and they tied their packed salutes to the backs of their horses, and all they discussed was the performance they had seen yesterday. No one talks about the girls, and all the focus is on the amazing performances of the magicians. The magician showed amazing skills, and even conjured nearly twenty live pigeons.

"Little prince, the master will really float in mid-air. How did he do it? That floating magic trick left a deep impression on everyone, and some guards even plucked up the courage to ask Hao Kang.

"I don't know. He's certainly not really going to fly anyway. Hao Kang replied decisively. After being educated by the Great Song Dynasty for so many years, no matter how shocking the scene was, Hao Kang insisted on not believing in ghosts and gods.

By the time everyone had finished cleaning up, breakfast was just finished. To Hao Kang's surprise, Totokh appeared at this time. Last night, he finally hooked up with a sister paper with great difficulty, and Hao Kang thought that he would not be able to see Totok until noon. But seeing that he was refreshed and calm, he was like the monkey anxious appearance a few days ago.

After eating, Tokhoff said, "Let's go." ”

Hao Kang was stunned. This hesitation looked in Toto's eyes, which made Totoku smile indifferently: "Hehe, brother, I have talked to the head of the courtesan troupe, and next time they will write to me before they go to Damascus." ”

"Really?" Hao Kang was shocked. He knew that Tokhtar's strength in dealing with people was very strong, but he didn't expect it to be so strong. Just as he was about to say something more, he saw Tokhtar sigh and said, "Brother, brother, I thank you so much." You're right, really a good woman. Good woman! ”

Hao Kang looked at Toto, trying to determine what this guy meant. Is it a good woman to be able to? Hao Kang's criteria for judging a good woman do not include the option of going to bed.

Tooff patted Hao Kang on the shoulder, but didn't say anything about it. He turned to the guards and shouted, "Let's go!" ”

The team of more than 50 people left the compound they monopolized and walked for more than ten minutes before they reached the gate of Zhuangzi under the name of Boyan. The steward had already hurried to the gate, and after saluting Hao Kang and Toto, he said, "Two masters, come back next time!" ”

Listening to the rhetoric like soliciting, Hao Kang couldn't help but be happy. It was very polite to take off, and he smiled, "Thank you for your hospitality." If the steward writes a letter to Lord Boyan, he will say that he has thanked him here. ”

"It should be, it should be." The steward hurriedly answered.

The guards, each with two horses, marched out of the gate and set out in the direction of returning to Baghdad. After walking out for more than ten miles, Totok asked Hao Kang, "Brother Hao Kang, do you want to see any more saline-alkali land." ”

"I don't look at it. Heart congestion. Hao Kang sighed. This is the first time Hao Kang has seen such a situation in his life, and he also understands that the situation in the territory of the Mongol Great Khan is no longer a problem that agricultural technology can solve. Things have come to such a point that it is useless to look at them more.

"Hehe, it seems that you understand why you want to build a flag army." Tokhtar sighed.

"The banner army can make these princes obedient?" Hao Kang was very skeptical.

"This kind of thing can only be known when you do it, and if you don't do it, you will definitely not have a chance."

"Brother Toto, what if the princes are not afraid of the flag army?"

"Our Mongolian comparison is who is the sword, the prince is not afraid of the Great Khan, but he will be afraid of the sword." Detok calmly tells the truth of Mongolia.

Hao Kang couldn't help but sigh. He remembered Boyan, it is said that the cowardly General Buhua, who was defeated and killed that year, ordered his subordinates to break through before the defeat, and Boyan was one of the people who was ordered to break through. Since Boyan Dashuai has survived vigorously until now, Hao Kang's younger brother will marry Boyan Dashuai's daughter, which means that Boyan Dashuai successfully broke through back then.

The cowardly general Buhua, a follower of the Nestorian sect, fought to the end, and when he was captured, he said to the Mamluk general: "If I die at your hands, I think it is providence, not you." Don't get drunk on a moment of victory. When the news of my death reaches Hulagu Khan, his anger will be like a boiling sea, and the land from Azhel Byzam (Azerbaijan) to the gates of Egypt will be flattened by the Mongol horses' hooves! ”

This prophecy did not come true, and the Great Khan of the Ilkhanate, Hülegü, failed to avenge the cowardly General Buhua until his death, and set out from Azerbaijan to take revenge on the Marshal Boyan. The karmic fires that had been building up for decades burned through Baghdad, Damascus, Jerusalem, and finally destroyed the Mamluk dynasty in Egypt. Could it be that this time it is the turn of the cowardly Xue army led by Totoku to do it again?

When the group walked out for more than 20 miles, a guard came to report, "Two adults, someone is following us." ”

"Wave the banner of the Great Khan and the banner of the king of the Yuan Kingdom." Get rid of the life.

Not long after, the golden Great Khan was erected, and the crimson banner of the Yuan King was lined side by side with the Great Xuan. If someone is plotting against the enemy, when they see these two flags, they should understand who they are facing. No prince in the Mongol Empire today is more powerful than the power represented by these two banners.

After walking out for five miles, the guards came again to report, "Two adults, the men and horses who followed us have temporarily retreated." ”

"For the time being?" Hao Kang was surprised by this precise wording.

Totoh sneered: "Hehe, Brother Hao Kang, what would you think if you saw our two flags?" ”

"The Great Khan is so strong, of course he is retreating."

"Why are the Great Khan and the Yuan Kingdom strong?"

"Well equipped and well trained."

"If you can rob us, won't you get good equipment right away."

“…… Don't they want to be in the future? Hao Kang couldn't understand this.

"Do you know who robbed us?"

“…… I don't know. ”

"Then who are you going to get revenge on?"

“…… Do you have to tread the land from the Azal Byazam to the gates of Egypt? ”

"Hmm!" Totoku looked at Hao Kang appreciatively, "That's right." ”

Hao Kang didn't answer, and continued to urge the horse forward. He found that even after a year in Mongolia and did not understand Mongolia, the choice of the Mongol princes seemed to be the pursuit of wealth, and the means available to them were completely beyond Hao Kang's understanding of the world. I don't even know how to discuss it.

After walking for more than ten miles, the guards came again, this time looking nervous. Without waiting for the guards to speak, Tokhtar asked, "How many more people are coming?" ”

"There must be hundreds of people."

"Is there a detour for us?"

"Now look, there is an ambush on the road ahead."

Hao Kang had to interject and come in, "Brother Toto, is this going to start?" ”

"Well, Brother Hao Kang is scared?"

"Don't be afraid. When the fight begins, let's rush and kill for a while. ”

"Roar, brother, I'll wait to see how the warriors of the Yuan Kingdom of the Megatron Kipchak Khanate kill the enemy."

After walking for another twenty minutes, more than 300 cavalry gathered by six or seven groups of men and horses stood in front of the two banners. The guards who had escaped immediately stepped forward and shouted, "Do you know these two flags, all those who stand in the way?" ”

Someone from the six or seven groups of people on the opposite side came out to reply, and saw him shouting at the throat: "The sky is high and the sweat is far away, and the people are few and there are many ministers." We just think you're good. Aren't you tired of walking with so many horses, hand over half of them, and we'll let you pass. ”

Hao Kang was a little surprised, he didn't expect to be able to say such a sentence in Mongolian, and was thinking about how to say it in order to match this sentence, so he heard Totoku laugh and said: "Brother Hao Kang, it's my brother's turn to see how you Yuan Kingdom warriors kill the enemy." ”

Hearing that this was about to play, Hao Kang sighed helplessly, and then ordered, "First team, go to battle." ”

Immediately, a team of Yuanguo guards threw away the burdensome things on the horses and urged the half-breed horses to attack. Seeing that the guards were so happy, the prince's coalition army on the opposite side immediately began to hedge. The subordinates of the Mongolian prince all used riding bows, and the guards of the Yuan Kingdom drew out stubby trolls one after another. The horses spread their hooves and galloped down the potholed road, and it took a while to reach a distance of about forty paces together.

The guards lowered their armor and continued to charge, and in a moment they were within the effective range of their cavalry bows of more than twenty paces. A sparse rain of arrows immediately shot from the charging ranks of the Mongol princes. The arrows hit the guards, and they couldn't even penetrate the silk armor outside. The guards remained unmoved, and continued to urge their horses forward. Fifteen steps, ten steps, five steps, the distance between the two sides has reached the distance where you can see the face of the other side.

"Tsk!" Hao Kang couldn't help but be speechless when he heard it.

The Yuan guards did not fire, and they continued to move forward, only slightly adjusting the direction of the horses so that the horses on both sides could stagger by. The cavalry of the Mongol princes fired another round of arrows. For cavalry, this is already considered an arrow on the opponent's chest, and it is impossible to miss it in any case.

The arrows shot from the bow made a sound on the steel armor or face armor of the guards of the Yuan Kingdom, but they could not penetrate the steel armor under the silk armor. The Yuan State guard pulled the trigger with a troll at the same distance from each shot.

Bang bang, some Mongolian cavalry were directly knocked off their horses, and some Mongolian cavalry relied on superb riding skills to resist the first blow, and the horses rushed forward more than a dozen steps before they could not bear the gunshot wounds, or fell off their horses or lay on their horses and screamed.

"Haha, hahaha......" Totoh was surprised and delighted, and laughed out loud.

Hao Kang sighed helplessly. He had imagined many times how the warriors of the Yuan Kingdom would fight against the wolf-like Song army, but he did not realize that every battle in his life up to this day had been fought against the Mongols. When he was in the Yuan Kingdom, he fought the army of the Kipchak Khanate, and when he arrived in the territory of the Great Khan, he couldn't even tell which prince he was fighting against.

The guards of the Yuan Kingdom had already turned their horses and ran back, and when they came back, they killed several royal cavalry who had not run far. Seeing that the guards of the Yuan Kingdom were so sharp, these princes immediately became confused, and they all got out of the way and went down to the fields on both sides. It's just that they still don't give up, and some people start shooting the Yuan State guards with bows and arrows. The Yuan guards inserted the troll back into the holster next to the saddle. Draw their ranged weapons from the holster of the Steel Arm Crossbow hanging from the back.

Bows and arrows could not penetrate the steel armor of the guards, and almost every arrow of the steel arm crossbow wound with a ratchet wheel made the screams of men or horses emanate from the opponent's array. Tokhtar no longer laughed, but watched in surprise as the guards of the Yuan Kingdom unilaterally attacked the enemy. A few arrows hit the horses of the Yuan State guards, and Tokh couldn't help but exclaim. Unexpectedly, those tall half-breed horses did not run around because of this, and still stood firmly in place, at most looking a little anxious.

The shooting lasted less than ten minutes before the princes collapsed, and although they were still scolding and threatening, the princes' coalition forces had completely moved out of the way. Hao Kang gestured, and before he could speak, Tokhtar had already commanded his guards to start rushing forward. When the people who got rid of the ticket rushed out of the circle first, Hao Kang and the guards of the Yuan Kingdom followed and evacuated. Not long after, the procession, without a single casualty, was galloping down the empty road. The princely coalition behind him was still scolding.

When the enemy is completely rid of the enemy, the team stops to heal the horses. As the rotten arrows were drawn, the horses snapped their noses and took a few steps back, their pretty muscles shaking.

"Brother Hao Kang, no wonder you beat the Kipchak Khanate pants are gone. These horses alone can dominate the world. Tokhtok praised.

Hao Kang still didn't want to answer. He had seen horses that were more fierce than the Yuan mixed breed horses at the Jockey Races of the Great Song Dynasty. Yuan Guo learned the breeding and artificial insemination technology from the Great Song Dynasty, and the Great Song Dynasty was the founding ancestor. Compared with horses, Hao Kang really has no confidence. After treating the horses, the group moved on. Everyone was very careful along the way, and repelled two waves of Wang Ye's coalition forces that came to rob one after another. The crowd had to slow down their already slow pace, spending nearly three hours before dark looking for a suitable place to be stationed.

The hard work of this road reminded Hao Kang a little of the experience of moving west with his father and mother, when Hao Kang was still young, and all he could remember was to move forward and move forward. I don't understand why I spend so much time arranging camps every day. Now Hao Kang has understood why the westward expansion team worked so hard back then. There are a lot of dangers, bad weather, and all kinds of fierce beasts in this world. There is something more terrifying than these two, and that is human beings.
