In the Persian royal capital, news was constantly sent into the city, and Pei Xingjian still did not enter the palace of the Persian royal capital, but sat in front of the palace and sorted out the military reports sent from all over the country.

Belus, the king of Persia, kept walking back and forth in front of Pei Xingjian, and suddenly stopped and asked, "How is it?" Any news? ”

Pei Xingjian picked up a roll of cloth, this is a redrawn map, the Persian map is not good, so he can only come by himself.

Drawing a circle on the map, Pei Xingjian asked, "What kind of place is this?" ”

Belus explained: "This is the Seuss River. ”

"Hmm." Pei Xingjian frowned and drew a circle again, "What about here?" ”

Belus added: "This is Mount Girgan." ”

Glancing over the corners of the map, the Great Cannibal now holds a large area of land, and in the very center of this map is a vast highland plain, and to the north of this plain is the Gilgan Mountains.

Knowing that the war was about to begin, the entire Persian king was silent, and even the pedestrians in the streets did not dare to speak loudly.

Pei Xingjian stopped all entertainment activities in the Persian king's capital, and except for the normal life of the people, even merchants were not allowed to enter the city.

At night, there is a strict curfew.

The Tang army on both sides of the street was as solemn as ever, and the Tang army under Pei Xingjian's rule was very disciplined.

In the eyes of the Persians, these Tang people would never interfere in other matters other than to take a lot of gold coins.

An Yanyan sat on the side with a calm expression, Belus didn't dare to offend this person, he provided the logistics and military rations of the Tang Army, and this person's connections in the Western Regions were ridiculously strong.

On the east bank of the Wusi River, Liang Jianfang stood in the army and looked around carefully, and he said loudly: "Mother, this ghost place only has sand except sand. ”

Not long after, Zhang Shigui came back, he first drank a big sip of water, and then came back to breath and said: "The big cannibal is coming!" Ten miles away, the crowd was at least more than 10,000. ”

Hearing this, Liang Jianfang smiled heartily and said angrily: "Damn! The old man has been idle for the past few months, and these cubs finally called, teach the old man to wait! ”

Zhang Shigui said in a low voice: "The last general arranged two brothers, Ashina Dur and Fu Nian, and they each brought a thousand soldiers and horses to deal with us. ”

"Tell the two Ashina, the old man only told them to finish." Liang Jianfang had a big beard on his face, gritted his teeth and said: "If you dare to compete with a certain family, you will kill him first!" ”

"Whoa!"

The herald hurried away.

The water and soil of the Persian territory are not good, and the Tang army barely adapted to it after three months here.

Liang Jianfang looked at the army behind him, these 5,000 soldiers and horses were all children of Guanzhong.

According to the plan in advance, after giving everyone a credit and talking about it, there is no need for the people of the Western Regions to fight for the time being.

Now Liang Jianfang has a big beard on his face, his beard is messy and a little curly, and he said again: "Damn! Full Arms Battle! ”

"All-arms war!" And the heralds ran from one to the other.

Liang Jianfang patted the artillery next to him, "Good baby, good baby...... It's all up to you. ”

Everyone waited with bated breath for the arrival of the front army of the Great Cannibal, only to see a row of dark shadows rise on the horizon in the distance, rolling up a cloud of dust.

When this row of black shadows approached, Liang Jianfang frowned and said, "What is this!" ”

This row of dark shadows is very short and doesn't look like a human ......

Someone shouted, "Damn! It's a pack of wolves! ”

Hundreds of wolves entered the minefield, followed by an explosion, and the underground mines exploded, and the wolves wailed incessantly.

The wolf is a very agile animal, and some wolves have bypassed the minefield and continued to come towards the Tang army.

You can't use these guns to blow up the wolves.

Liang Jianfang gritted his teeth and said angrily: "The big cannibals are prepared, who are their generals?" ”

Zhang Shigui couldn't care about it so much, the wolves moved quickly, as if they were crazy, with their mouths open and drooling.

Pulling the reins of the horse, Zhang Shigui said loudly: "Release the arrow!" ”

Rows of arrows were fired, and no matter how agile the wolves were, they couldn't dodge such a dense rain of arrows.

When all these wolves fell to the ground, Zhang Shigui calmed down, and his long-term experience in fighting told him that big cannibals are not all stupid.

When the smoke cleared, shouts of killing could be heard in the distance, and a group of mad people rushed towards the Seuss River.

They were unarmoured, mostly barefoot, with scimitars in their hands and chains tied around their feet.

A soldier immediately said: "General, these people are prisoners of war from the West!" ”

These people stepped into the minefield, and the unfinished earth mines of the wolves were trampled by them, and the explosions continued.

At this moment, Zhang Shigui and Liang Jianfang were furious, and the big cannibals treated the prisoners of war as no people.

"Pei Xingjian said that this is a barbaric land, and people are barbaric."

A few Westerners rushed into the river and fell to the ground when they were shot by the arrows of the Tang army.

Finally, all the prisoners of war in front of them fell, all of them were skinny, skinny and bony, and they did not look like people, and they did not know what kind of torture they suffered at the hands of the big cannibals.

"Lord is going to hang all these big cannibals! Hang yourself!" Liang Jianfang said angrily: "They still have no humanity!" ”

Zhang Shigui closed his eyes and didn't dare to look at this scene, as if these prisoners of war were here to beg for death.

Finally, the army formation of the Great Cannibal appeared in front of him.

The scout beside him whispered, "General, the enemy army is at least 10,000 people." ”

Five thousand to ten thousand, Liang Jianfang was in full swing in his heart, and said loudly: "Prepare artillery!" ”

The herald shouted: "Prepare the artillery!" ”

A mouthful of black iron barrels was buried in the prepared pit, leaving only half of the cannon body outside.

The explosives were all put in, and a total of 300 guns were all aimed at the big cannibal.

The Tang army and the big cannibal looked at each other across the river, Zhang Shigui took out a bow, and as soon as the arrow was shot, the arrow fell not far in front of the big cannibal array.

This is he is calculating the range and distance of the artillery, and he has a rough idea in his mind so that he can prepare.

This arrow caused the big cannibals in front of them to scream, and the funny thing was that they had an argument in front of the battle.

Liang Jianfang frowned and pondered, "What are they waiting for?" ”

Zhang Shigui was also puzzled, and hesitated: "Could it be that the news has been revealed?" ”

Liang Jianfang waved his hand and said, "Impossible!" Use this treasure to pick the time when the Persians sleep. ”

Hearing this, Zhang Shigui looked at the arrows that fell in front of the enemy in the distance, and suddenly opened his bow and set up the arrows, shooting in the direction of the big cannibal.

The arrows still fell in front of the Great Cannibal's army.

The scene was quiet for a moment, and finally a loud roar came from the Great Cannibal Army, charging towards the river.

Liang Jianfang shouted: "Fire!" ”

The sergeants shouted in unison: "Open the cannon." ”

Pulling the rope at the bottom of the artillery, three hundred cannons exploded in unison, and the powder bag that caught fire fell on the crowd of charging cannibals.

A big cannibal looked at the gunpowder bag that fell on the ground and was still curious, only to hear an explosion, and several people around him were blown to pieces.

The gunpowder packets exploded from near to far, and the indiscriminate killing began in the Great Cannibal Army, and the smoke of gunpowder filled the air to make it impossible to see what was happening in front of them.

The Tang army had already replaced it with another batch of artillery, and after loading, it pulled the rope hard.

"Bang! Boom! Boom! ”

There was another explosion, and the Great Food Army Array, two hundred paces away, was in chaos.

"Wha!" Liang Jianfa suddenly laughed again, pulled out the horizontal knife on his waist and said loudly: "Damn! Pei Xingjian is really a talent, how did he come up with the method of artillery rotation. ”

He shouted at the big cannibal again, "See grandpa's baby!" Ha ha! Grandpa has been waiting for you for a long time! ”

At a distance of two hundred steps, the other party couldn't rush up, and even if there were sporadic cannibals rushing out of the gunsmoke, they were shot to the ground.

In the distance of the battlefield, Ashinadur was watching this scene, breathing heavily, "The Tang people have this weapon, what should the Turkic cavalry do in the future?" ”

Ashina Fu Nian was nearly forty years old, and his beard had turned white, and he said in a low voice: "We should be loyal to the Heavenly Khan." ”

Ashinadur glared at this cousin, "You have long forgotten the kindness of the Khanting!" ”

The two suffered differently, Ashinadur was arranged by Tian Khan to go to Gaochang less than two years after the defeat of Jieli, and he still had resentment against Datang in his heart.

And Ashina Funian has been in the Turkic steppe for several years, and learned about the various measures of the Tang Dynasty against the Turks, and he has long lost the grudge he had back then, unlike Ashinadur.

There are fewer and fewer people in this world who hate the Tang Dynasty, and the Heavenly Khan has already built the capital to Hanhai, and the Xue Yantuo and Uighurs have also surrendered.

Looking at the battlefield in front of him, the big cannibal was so thick that he coughed, and his ears were filled with terrible screams.

Two hundred steps, two hundred steps!

As soon as the Tang army opened fire, these big cannibals could not move an inch.

When the sound of the cannon stopped, the wind blew away the smoke, and the big cannibals who were not killed were also red-eyed by the smoke.

People fell to the ground one after another, and there were large cannibals standing here and there, surrounded by fallen people.

And when someone exclaimed, only then did they see the surrounding situation clearly, and those Tang troops did not know when they had crossed the Suss River and came up.

There were big cannibals screaming, but the team had already been blown to pieces, unable to organize defenses, and even many people turned back and fled.

The war horses of the Tang army rushed into the military formation, and Zhang Shigui rode his horse into the chaotic cannibal army, and shot an arrow to knock down a big cannibal who was about to escape.

Liang Jianfang stabbed a big cannibal in the neck and said angrily: "Inhuman thing! Death to grandpa! ”

The cannibals, who have become a rout, scattered and fled.

wiped the neck of a big food deserter again, and Liang Jianfang's voice was like a lion's roar, which shook people's ears and buzzed.

When Ashnadur outflanked their back road, those big cannibals could only kneel down and surrender in despair.

Liang Jianfang saw that the battlefield had calmed down, and said: "Human life is like a mustard, these 10,000 people are killed too quickly, and the battle will be finished in half an hour, so it's not fun!" Not enough! ”

Zhang Shigui's expression was grim, if in the past, it would take at least four or five hours to fight 10,000 soldiers and horses.

In this way, human life in front of artillery really does not matter.

It's too easy to kill.

Zhang Shigui was still a little afraid, and said in a low voice: "This thing hurts the heavens and harmony, who is that character in Lishan?" ”

Liang Jianfang wiped the blood off the knife, and said: "I can't take care of it, I won the first battle, and sent someone to send the good news to Chang'an, and I took the credit for waiting for us first." ”

"Whoa!"

Someone had already begun to clean up the battlefield, and the soldiers were mending knives on corpses, which were then piled together and set on fire.

Liang Jianfang was already nervous, and he patted the cannon with satisfaction, "That one from Lishan has seen it once, he looks like a literati, speaks easily, and is a very interesting person." ”

After waiting for another hour, seeing that it was about to fall into the night, Xue Rengui and his wife, who were wearing big cannibal clothes, finally came back.

Xue Rengui turned over and dismounted and said: "General, I have made it clear, there are still 100,000 troops in the rear, and the leader of the army, Omar, fought with him back then." ”

"Good! How often do they arrive. ”

"They are waiting for food and grass to leave as soon as late November."

Liang Jianfang glanced at the battlefield, stroked his beard and said, "Withdraw the army!" Go back and rest. ”

When the soldiers and horses returned to the Persian royal capital and learned of the victory, the Persian royal capital was full of jubilation.

"The invincible Tang people have defeated the Great Cannibal!"

"Invincible Tang people!"

"Persia is saved!"

……

Amidst the shouts of many Persians, Liang Jianfang walked in front of the Persian king Belus.

Unlike the others, the Tang people always come back clean from fighting.

Belus bowed and said, trembling, "General! A banquet has been prepared at the palace. ”

Pei Xingjian was wearing a cloth shirt and said in a low voice: "It's wartime now, and no banquets are allowed in the city, so let's go." ”

Liang Jianfang nodded pertinently, "I listen to Pei Duhu, there are still 100,000 soldiers and horses coming towards Persia, this battle has not been fought yet, and it has not been won." ”

Hearing that the Great Cannibal had an army of 100,000 coming, Belus almost didn't stand still.

Pei Xingjian bowed his head and said in a low voice: "No, there are more than 100,000 troops. ”

Hearing this, Xue Rengui said again: "It will be 'Umar, I heard that the bravest person among the great cannibal generals is Khalid, this person has not yet come, and the real main force of the great cannibal has not come." ”

……

The battle report went out of the Persian territory, and after the Anxi Protectorate, it was already winter in Guanzhong.

A military report arrived at Jiayuguan, and the people who came rode their horses and ran all the way shouting: "Persian war report!" Persian war report! Victory in the first battle! Destroy 10,000 enemies! ”

The report of the battle reached the Hexi Corridor, and the city was cheering.

There are Tang people shouting, and there are people in the Western Regions cheering.

After Jiayuguan was released, this team of soldiers and horses rode straight into the pass.

Zhang Yang didn't go to the workshop in the past two months, nor did he get busy with the affairs of Taifu Temple, concentrating on practicing calligraphy and exercising his mind.

In the direction of Hangu Pass, there is a horse team walking in the cold wind, and the person who comes claims to be the king of Nanzhao, this person is dressed very strangely, his body is full of all kinds of gold utensils, and even his belt is made of gold.

The king of Nanzhao came to Hangu Pass and asked for a bowl of braised pork rice bowl.

looked like a luxurious person who couldn't be more extravagant, sitting on the side of the road at the moment and gobbling up a bowl of braised pork rice.

After that, the king of Nanzhao bought a pot of soy sauce from the vendor, and took a sip on the spot, and he whispered: "Hmm! This taste is the soy sauce of Lishan, I want to be so-and-so! ”

The officers and soldiers of Hangu Pass were also puzzled, why could this King Nanzhao speak an authentic Guanzhong dialect.

The guard general was a wide and fat guy, and at first glance, he was also a person who ate a lot of braised pork, so he came over and asked, "King Nanzhao is going to Chang'an City?" ”

King Nanzhao, who had just drunk soy sauce, smiled: "Hahaha! A certain family is going to go to Tian Khan for a drink. (End of chapter)
