Chapter 1371: Chaos in Samarkand
When they also wanted to leave, it was not so simple, and the Arabs in the whole city realized that it was now in chaos.
The local people are usually the most oppressed, and now they don't want to continue to be oppressed, so these people are not idle, all kinds of miscellaneous looting and burning things have also come, and the night sky is instantly lit up, of course, this kind of light is not what they want to see, all because of the fires everywhere.
"Fight your way out through the West Gate."
Lord Zuo Xiang can be said to be the most assertive, although the road is very chaotic now, but they also have more than 800 guards, under the killing of these people, they can still rush out, of course, the chance is not big, if you don't move now, I'm afraid it will be even more difficult to wait for a while.
According to their original ideas, waiting for His Royal Highness the Prince to win a victory on the front, even if it was just a small victory, they could happily return to the capital, go back with the filial piety of the officials of the Governor's Mansion of Anton, and enjoy it, and even be able to share a little credit.
Don't think about this now, the money has been taken away by that bastard Faisal, and the life and death of His Royal Highness the Prince of the front line are uncertain, so we can only escape this life first, and we can't think so much about what will happen next.
In normal times, the Arab people bully the local people, so the local people can only endure, after all, they have been defeated, even in their hometown, these people are third-class citizens.
But now the Arab army can no longer be found, including the soldiers of the Governor's Palace, they don't know where they went, so the local people have to have revenge, revenge, revenge, and revenge, and they have also found their long-cherished weapons and killed the Arabs on the street.
These Arabs are arrogant and accustomed to it, and never regard the common people in the occupied areas as a thing, and now you are so bold that you dare to swing a knife at us, if you don't suppress you, you really don't know how many eyes Ma Wang Ye has.
It's just that many Arabs have also seen that when this kind of dispute usually occurs, people from the army or the Governor's Palace will immediately come to help, and then hang up these chaotic people so that they can taste the taste of resistance, but where did the people from the Governor's Palace go today? The army went to the front to fight, but the guards of the governor's palace still patrolled regularly, but today not a single person could be seen.
It wasn't until they saw a cavalry team running out that they realized that our army at the front had been defeated.
Many of the heads and young masters of large families have been tied up, just now when Governor Faisal went in to grab the money, he could only tie up these people, and now these people have also run out, they tell Governor Faisal about his crimes, but no one listens anymore, half the city is in chaos, and the Arabs are now like rats crossing the street, as long as they are still in the city, then someone will chase you and kill them.
Originally, there were more than 300,000 local people, but after the Arabs came, their number was drastically reduced to 200,000, and with 50,000 people taken away, their number was reduced by nearly half.
I usually keep revenge in my mind, but I haven't found a chance, so I can only make the Arabs happy first, and now it's finally time for this opportunity, your army can't find it, and you're just ordinary people, if we can't kill you, then we're too cowardly.
After a whole night of turmoil, about 20,000 Arab civilians were killed, and all the rest were arrested.
When they saw the Arabs who had been slain after daybreak, some of them immediately became afraid, because after all, the Arabs had ruled them for a long time, and now they had killed so many Arabs, and they would have killed their entire families according to the law of sitting.
Can't let the Arabs come back, I heard that the Arabs are fighting with the Tang Dynasty, we used to fight with the Tang Dynasty, purely by the people of the Arab Empire, if we send people to surrender now, they will definitely protect us, and we still have more than 10,000 Arab prisoners in our hands, all handed over to the people of the Tang Dynasty, then wouldn't we be a great achievement?
When they thought of this, some local gentry and celebrities immediately organized themselves and prepared to send people to Shiguo City to get in touch with the Tang army as quickly as possible, and then let the Tang army occupy Samarkand City, then they would not be afraid of the Arabs coming back.
But just as they were about to go out from the eastern city, an Arab army suddenly appeared in front of them, and the number of this army was not large, at most two or three thousand people, but they had sharp eyes to see that this was the escort of His Royal Highness the Prince.
This frightened the locals of the city, and His Royal Highness only knew how many people had been killed since he came to the Governor's Palace, and if he had known that we had killed so many Arabs, I am afraid that none of us would have survived.
"Either you die or I die, we can't watch it now, they should be defeated with the Tang army, you see that the weapons on their bodies are not neat enough, let's kill them first and fight with them."
Some people immediately remembered that they had killed so many people last night, and that these people were all bloody, and now they all clenched their weapons and killed this army.
This is indeed the army of Prince Salaman, they have worked hard to return to Samarkand, according to their ideas, they finally arrived home, even if they can't hold the city, it can give them a good rest, the journey is too tiring.
I thought that these people had come to meet them, but when they got closer, they realized that none of the Arabs were all locals, and these people still had weapons in their hands.
There's nothing to say about it, it's clear that these people have rebelled, and even if they don't have the strength anymore, they have to kill all of them, who used to not treat the locals as human beings, but now they have become their fierce enemies.
Both sides are trying to survive, so there is nothing to show mercy in this war, just wield a scimitar and slash at each other's heads......
