Chapter 272: Inner Shapur City (2)

The sun rose higher and higher, and in the black sea in front of him, a dazzling white light finally appeared, and Zamaspu felt some stinging pain in his eyes, and quickly turned his head sideways. After a while, when Zamaspu thought that he had been able to adapt to the white light, he cast his eyes on the Chinese army, and as the commander-in-chief, he had to pay close attention to the enemy's every move.

The white swarm of light slowly advanced in the black sea, and soon embedded in the middle and stopped. After a while, a man who looked like an officer rode out of battle until he reached the city gate, and shouted a few times in Persian. From the shouting, Zamaspu knew that the deputy governor of the Persian Middle Way march of the Chinese had heard that he wanted to meet him in front of the city.

Zamaspu knew that Zeng Wen was the eldest son of Zeng Hua, the king of Huaxia, but because he was a concubine, he had no inheritance rights. But this person is the first of Zeng Hua's sons to lead the army to fight, and he was also the first to follow Zeng Hua's side, it is said that although he is not the most proficient at fighting among Zeng Hua's sons, he is also a good general who is wise and brave. He and Cao Yan, Lu Zhen, Tang Fu, Mao Qiling and others guarded Zhaozhou Hexi, Zhaowu County, through a little Tocharo, in Persia, Kushan and other countries are also famous.

Zamaspu thought about it and decided to meet Zeng Wen and have a meeting. Although he knew the intention of Zeng Wen's talks, and knew that he would not agree to Zeng Wen's request, the talks would be fruitless. But Zamaspur still wanted to use this opportunity to spy on the reality of the Huaxia Army. Zamaspur would not worry that Zeng Wen would detain him, because he knew that since Zeng Wen planned to talk, he would not make such a decision, and Zamaspur believed that Zeng Wen understood that capturing him alone would not only not help to capture the city of Neshapur, but also to ruin Zeng Wen's reputation.

Regardless of the dissuasion of the generals. Zamaspur left the city of Neshapur with a dozen retinues and came to the open space between the city gate and the army. When Zeng Wen arrived with dozens of officers and his retinue on horseback, Zamasap was already sitting peacefully on a small pony tie. There was a guard holding a parasol next to him, just to cover Zamasp.

Zeng Wen turned over and dismounted, and walked quickly to the opposite side of Zamaspu. An attendant who dismounted first had just put away a horse tie, and Zeng Wen walked up to the horse zar, smiled and bent down to salute, "Hello Governor Zamaspu! ”

Zamaspu stood up and replied with a smile: "Hello, Your Royal Highness, the Grand Prince! ”

Zeng Wen shook his head and continued: "If the Governor doesn't mind, please call me General Zeng Wen or Deputy Chief Zeng Wen, I prefer these two titles." ”

Zamaspu was stunned for a moment, then nodded and said, "Zamaspu will follow the general's wishes." The two of them have not been polite since then. Sit down.

Zamaspu had changed into a white ground robe, and wore a pointed felt hat characteristic of Persia, and with his wrinkled face and sly eyes, he looked very learned and elegant. -Download-Beautiful Girl-Relatively speaking, Zeng Wen looks very "martial artist", he wears a black-gray chain neck helmet, wears a round-necked waist-length fish scale armor, a saber around his waist, and a short hand knife. Zeng Wen's face was full of dust, and his armor was also full of dust and mud, making him look dusty.

"This is the dog Zeng Chen." Zeng Wen pointed to an officer behind him and said casually. Zamaspur followed Zeng Wen's finger and looked over. I saw a tiger-headed officer stand up and bow slightly to him. This officer wore a very ordinary red-topped eight-petal iron helmet on his head, and a more ordinary Mingguang willow leaf armor, and the officers and their entourage stood in a pile of inconspicuous people.

Zeng Wen's wife is Liu Wanru, the daughter of Liu Weichen, the leader of the Tiefu people, and it seems that in order to avoid "late marriage and late childbearing" like Zeng Hua, Zeng Hua's children all got married relatively early, and they got married and had children around the age of eighteen. He was married to Wang Meng's young queen Daojie, Zeng Mu was married to Tuoba Shiyijian's youngest daughter Tuoba Guiyan, and Zeng Hui was married to Zhang Shou's son Zhang Tao. Gan Ruidi's son Gan Tang married Zeng Qiang, Wang Meng's second son Wang Xiu and Zhang Gan's two sons failed in the battle, but Zhai Weng lost his horse and knew that it was not a blessing, and finally married Zeng Quan born to Fan Min. Yu's son, Zeng Na, had no intention of military affairs, and was finally admitted to the Institute of Science and Technology of Chang'an University, majoring in physics. finally married Mao Muzhi's daughter Mao Xiucheng. The rest, such as Tuyuhun Zhenxiu, married Jiang Ping, the son of Jiang Nan, and it can be regarded as a feud between Baimaqiang and Tuyuhun; Zeng Lian, who was born by Tuyuhun Zhenxiu, married Xie Ai's daughter Xie Bingying; Fan Min's second son, Zeng Guo, married a simple daughter, Narrow-Jiao; Xu's daughter Zeng Xiu married Xun Xian's youngest son Xun Xiu; Zeng Qi, born by the eldest princess of Zhuyang, married Huan Xuan, the youngest son of Huan Wen, and Zeng Kai, the youngest son of the eldest princess of Zhuyang, was also the daughter of Xie Xuan, who married Xie Xuan. Zeng Hua has always taken it as his "responsibility" to crack down on the famous families, but sometimes he has to encircle these families, even if Zeng Yan, who has defaulted to the crown prince, is married to Cui Hong's sister. The real Cheongha-Choi clan.

Zamaspur nodded. Returned the salute to Zeng Chen. At this time, Zeng Wen spoke again: "Your Excellency Governor Zamaspu, let's get straight to the point." Behind me are 100,000 heroes. And then there are 100,000 elites led by my father. It was only a matter of time before the city of Neshapur fell, and in the face of the Chinese army, there was no underground city in the world that could not be captured. ”

After listening to Zeng Wen's very confident words, Zamaspu's heart felt like falling into a sea of ice: "Oh, His Majesty King Ming is also here." He pondered for a long time, and finally just muttered the words. It seems that the war between the Chinese and the Persians is endless.

Seeing that Zamaspur didn't answer for a long time, Zeng Wen patted his knee and continued: "Your Excellency Governor Zamaspur, I am for the lives of hundreds of thousands of people in the city of Neshapur. You know, once our Chinese army attacks the city, all the jade will be burned, and I ask Governor Zamaspu to think about the innocent people. ”

Zamaspu sighed and did not speak for a long time, and finally raised his head and replied: "This is the land where the Khorasan people have lived for generations, and I can promise to go, but they will not agree to go." ”

Zeng Wen smiled, his smile seemed to Zamaspur as if he was trying to imitate someone.

"The Khorasans can accept the Persians, and I think they can also accept the Chinese."

"Khorasan has been part of Persia since the time of the Achaemenid dynasty (560 BC – 330 BC), and in Persian it means the place where the sun rises." Zamaspu looked at Zeng Wen and said.

Zeng Wen lowered his head and was silent for a while, then suddenly raised his head. His eyes were fixed on Zamasp's face, and in that face he had seen the same exhaustion and vicissitudes of life as the land of Khorasan. His heart couldn't help but think of his father who was not far behind, and also remembered what his father said: "You are a happy and proud generation, what you have to do is to fight for more interests and greater honor for Huaxia with the pace of the times." ”

Their own generation may be really happy, they don't have to go through the pain of their ancestors ruining their families and losing their country, they don't have to go through the hardships of their fathers starting from scratch, all they have to do is to hold high the banner and continue to move forward and win victory. I don't have to be like him, I should be proud and happy. Zeng Wen looked at Zamaspu. Silently thinking.

In the silence, from the city of Neshapur came a sound of singing, and I don't know who sang a Khorasan folk song: "The crisp shade fills the Khorasan orchards, the grazing camels are at ease in the meadows, and the free people toiled in the fields." The enemy's saber and iron hooves can burn down our homes and take away our loved ones, but it cannot take away our free hearts. ”

Hearing this, Zamaspu couldn't hold back his tears, and sat there just shaking his shoulders, as if he was trying his best to suppress his emotions. Zeng Wen's face became extremely solemn. He swooped to his feet and took off his helmet.

Zeng Wen held his helmet under his right ribs, his legs together, and his whole body was as straight as a javelin, as if he was being reviewed. He bowed deeply to Zamaspur with a solemn expression, then turned and walked away.

On the way to the mount, Zeng Chen asked in a low voice, "Father, is that all it take?" ”

Zeng Wen glanced at his son and couldn't help but pause in his heart. People say that several of their brothers and sisters are dragons and phoenixes among people, that is their father's use of different education methods, and several brothers in the army have stayed by their father's side for many years, and it is their father's words and deeds that have made several brothers today's achievements. It's a pity that he only learned half of his father's skills, but he couldn't learn how he taught his brothers. It seems that his son is worse than his own generation, and at this point, only Zeng Mu and Zeng Wei have obtained their father's "true inheritance", Zeng Mu, if it weren't for the involvement of his mother and maternal uncle Murong family, it is estimated that he would have been the crown prince a long time ago.

Zeng Wen held on to the high bridge on the saddle, and suddenly stopped and said to Zeng Chen behind him: "There are Khorasan people who are afraid that the cattle will go to freedom. There must be people who are afraid of losing their wealth. Chen'er. If you have time, you can take more notes on the ground for your father, and they are all written down for your father when he was with your grandfather. ”

Zeng Chen was surprised. But he quickly bent down and agreed. Zeng Wen held on to the high bridge, stepped on the horse pedal with his left foot, and got on the horse as soon as he jumped up. Immediately, Zeng Chen and the rest of the officers' entourage got on their horses, starting with Zeng Wen, and the group galloped away with their whips, leaving only a cloud of yellow dust, and Zamaspu and others sat alone in the middle of the clearing.

That night, the siege of the Chinese army began. Just as Zamaspur had expected, the Chinese army's offensive was still as imposing, rushing towards the city of Neishapur like a mountain and a sea. First, a rain of rockets and arrows that lit up half of the sky, followed by a meteor shower-like fire and oil bomb, and in less than two hours, the north and east gates of the Huaxia Army's main attack had sunk into a sea of fire.

The Khorasan defenders were a little panicked by the firelight, but their courage was not lost, and they braved the rain of arrows and the fire oil bombs that could turn themselves into burning men at any moment, and they tried to hold on behind the walls. They clutched their swords, guns, and weapons tightly, and their eyes looked out of the city through the stomping wall. Compared to the panicked city, the outside of the city is very quiet. There was only the regular sound of strings, arrows, and the sound of firing one after another, which came from the silence and black night, but it seemed that the Chinese army was silent.

The night passed, the walls of Neshapur were broken, and the Khorasans were exhausted, but the Chinese did not attack, except for rockets and stone cannons, and they seemed to want to crush the Khorasans with fire.

The night passed, dawn finally arrived in a mist, and the attack outside the city suddenly stopped, and the city of Inner Shapur instantly returned to "calm". The people and nobles of Khorasan, who had been terrified all night, began to leave their homes, and many of them were tormented by the night, and many of the sneaky people who entered and left the mansions of the noble families were now beginning to disappear.

When the mist cleared, the defenders of Khorasan, who were busy extinguishing the fire, suddenly found that the outside of the city was densely covered with Chinese people, black armor, white, yellow-blue flags, and solemn figures, as if they had been standing here all night before.

An officer rode out alone, and in a few moments stood in front of the city gates. He shouted in Persian: "One last chance, if you don't go down again!" ”

With that, the officer drew his waist knife and pointed it in the air.

At this moment, dozens of black round-shaped objects flew by from a distance, flew over the officer's head and flew straight into the city of Neshapur. Then dozens of black shadows flew over, one after the other.

When these round things fluttered to the ground and rolled around, the sharp-eyed Khorasan soldiers could already see clearly, these were bloody and hideous heads. In a few moments, thousands of heads flew into the city of Neshapur and appeared in front of Zamaspur and the Khorasansians.

The officer in front of the city gate continued to shout loudly: "The soldiers and people of Mulu City are stubborn, when the city is broken, all 50,000 male soldiers and soldiers are executed, and the rest of the women and children are sold into slavery and maids, and what you see is the heads of more than 1,000 noble generals in the city. ”

Only then did Zamaspu see that these seemingly familiar heads were indeed his acquaintances, and among them were the guards of Mulu, the nobles, the arrogant generals, and the reinforcements he had sent out, all of whom were now scattered in the mud, silently like a group of strangely shaped stones.

Zamaspu sat on the ground, and the shouts of the Chinese officers outside the city were still buzzing in his ears: "Give you another hour to think about it, and when the time comes, you will be the same as those heads." The sound drifted into the city with the increasingly hot wind, giving a frenzied atmosphere to the Khorasan people in the city

Before the time was up, some of the nobles lost their breath and asked Zamaspur to leave the city and surrender, but they were refused. They then began to gather the guards in an attempt to force Zamaspu to agree to their demands, but they were routed by the prepared Zamaspu.

The fleeing nobles saw that the matter had come to this, so they simply did not stop doing anything, and gathered more nobles, retinues and guards, and slaughtered to the east gate, preparing to open the city gate and welcome the Chinese people. However, he was blocked on the road by Zamaspu's troops, and the two sides were inextricably killed.

And at this time of great chaos, dozens of people suddenly rushed out of the houses behind the south gate, and they rushed straight to the city gate with two cars, and when the defenders just reacted and prepared to encircle and suppress this handful of "elements", these people left the cars behind the city gate and ran away. Just when the defenders were surprised, they only heard a loud noise, and the city gate and the tower above it disappeared in the huge dust, and the Huaxia army that was ambushed outside rushed in and quickly controlled the south gate. And when it was dark, the city of Neshapur fell into the hands of the Chinese.
