The sound of the big drum was heard, and the city gate of Lower Artush opened with a bang. The first ones to come out were groups of light cavalry wearing leather armor. They held long guns and carried six horses and bows and spread out to both sides. This is where to go.
Cut off Zhang Zhao and others' escape.
Immediately afterwards, there were countless cavalry wearing various types of armor, chain armor, chain mail, and embedded iron plate leather armor, among which there were even hundreds of armored cavalry with both men and horses.
They held long spears, and hung axes, hammers, etc. on the sides of their horses. Judging from the long bow body, the bows on their backs were hard bows specially designed for heavy armored cavalry.
After leaving the city, these heavy armored cavalry did not swarm directly towards the Fengtian Army who had already formed a formation. Instead, they began to gather according to the order flags and recognition flags. The armored cavalry also got off their horses and began to lead the horses back and forth slowly, letting the horses
Warm up your child.
Among them, a large number of light cavalry with almost no armor were galloping back and forth on their horses, filling the battlefield with dust and creating a posture of thousands of troops.
They would even form groups of one or two hundred, and tentatively charge forward from a few hundred meters away. They would constantly intimidate the spearmen in front of the stacked formation with their screams, and the tense atmosphere would immediately be transmitted to the Fengtian Army.
middle.
‘Bang!’ Zhang Zhao kicked down a pile of boxes placed in the stack, and various gold and silver coins inside rolled down all over the floor.
There are silver coins from the Samanid Dynasty, gold coins from the palace of Karakhan, and even many Sasanian Persian gold and silver coins from hundreds of years ago, all of which were looted from the palace of Shule City.
At this time, when the morning sun shone, golden light suddenly shone everywhere. The eyes of the surrounding three religious disciples, Shenjidu and even the Khotan palace guards were attracted by these treasures.
"Mountain Zhuer! Tell the people behind you, how much benefit did you get from breaking Shule this time?"
Zhang Zhao rode a white horse back and forth in the formation. With the long pole in his hand, he lightly knocked on a soldier from Shandu and shouted.
Mountain boar does not refer to domestic pigs, but to wild boars. Mountain boars are as the name suggests. They have dark brown skin, short stature, but are extremely strong. With their big belly and thick limbs, they are not easy to mess with at first glance. Unfortunately,
Among the soldiers in Shandu, they are all quite famous for their bravery.
"Back to the Duke! This time the boar kid robbed two Uighur girls, twenty gold coins, not counting the silver coins. Anyway, there are two big boxes, two good horses and five donkeys!"
Shanzhuer yelled with a smile on his face. He was originally a horse archer in the Shazhou Shouchang Army. He was so miserable that he couldn't save much money all year round, let alone my wife.
But after only following Zhang Zhao for more than a year, he started robbing, uh! No! He already had two young wives and saved hundreds of dollars of property.
In the Fengtian Army, he was not even the fire chief, but when he returned home, he was the master. He could eat meat if he wanted, and eat white noodles if he wanted. The two ladies served him like a god, so he took Zhang
Zhao looks closer than his parents.
"Ma Shacai! Tell me, what benefits did you gain, you piece of shit?" Zhang Zhao knocked the long pole against another soldier from Shandu.
Ma Shacai is a tall and strong man. He was originally a fierce bandit in the Qilian Mountains. He is good at shooting with his ape-arm and can shoot the bow left and right. He has superb riding skills and can come and go like the wind. He is the master of riding and archery in the Ge Du horse bandit gang except Bai Congxin. He followed.
After Zhang Zhao, he became the captain of You Yi Army and received numerous rewards for his meritorious service.
"Going back to the Duke, Shacai also robbed two girls this time, but Shacai doesn't want them. He wants to follow the Duke back to the Central Plains. Don't forget, Duke, you said you wanted to marry Shacai for five.
The surname is Qiwangjiajiao Niang.
As for gold and silver, Ma Shacai has never been interested in any common things. Anyway, I have never been short of them since I followed the Duke. If they are gone, I will come to you to get them! If they are gone, I will come to you to get them! Haha!"
"Your fucking demands are not low! I haven't even gotten a wife from the five surnames and Qiwang!" Zhang Zhao laughed, and the soldiers around him also laughed.
"But since I promised you, I will definitely do it. You have conquered Anxi with a lot of tricks, and you have countless military exploits. You are worthy of a little girl with five surnames and seven hopes.
Don’t worry, when you return to the Tang Dynasty, you can marry whomever you want, and whoever dares to say you won’t marry, I will blow up the door of his house with the divine fire thunder!”
The soldiers around him burst into laughter again. Amidst the laughter, Zhang Zhao came to a strong archer from the Khotan palace guard. Zhang Zhao knew this guy. From the first battle under Shule City, he had fought with the soldiers of Hanshandu.
.
"Boma Cuda, how are you? What benefits have you gained from being in Shule City?"
Bomo Chuduo puffed up his chest and said, "Bomo Chuduo didn't go to snatch the girl, but he found my white jade in the palace of Kara Khan.
My white jade is the most beautiful flower Ya'er sees. Three years ago, she was snatched away by the Karakhan people. I thought I would never see her again, but I didn't expect Buddha, no! I didn't expect the prince to let us meet again.
Yes, I grabbed two boxes of silver coins, and after the battle, I can be with Bai Yuer forever!"
As he said this, the eyes of the tall Khotanese palace guard were shining. Over the past ten years, the Karakhanites had been harassing the Khotanese in the Yaerkan area by relying on their comings and goings like the wind.
, this is a poor man whose fiancée was kidnapped.
"Then remember! As long as you kill the enemy bravely, I will personally marry you and buy you a big courtyard in Ya'erkan!"
Zhang Zhao gently tapped Po Moshaduo's armor on the chest, and then threw out a gold coin.
"This is my gift in advance!"
"I really understand A Luo Su, my loving father, did you gain something after the destruction of Shule City?"
Alosu is the common name of Manichaean monks. Zhenwu Aluosu has a standard Uighur appearance. Now as a member of the three religious followers, he serves as an archer in Zhang Zhao's formation. He made a flame shape with his hands and aimed at
Zhang Zhaoyi bent down.
"The men in black turbans killed my parents and bewitched my brothers. In Shule City, X found the thugs and sent them to hell one by one, including X's brother who refused to repent.
Hellfire!
I really don’t want a little girl, I don’t want gold or silver, because it was my great loving father who guided me and asked me to follow the Duke to protect everyone from the cruelty of the black turban!"
This was a fair statement. Zhang Zhao immediately seized the opportunity to rein in his horse and thrust the congchang in his hand into the ground with a thud.
"Zhenwu A Luoxian is right. You have all been tortured by the black-turbaned Karakhanids. They have killed your relatives and robbed your gold and silver treasures.
Even Shazhou Tang'er like me can't bear to stand this miserable situation. I'm not afraid to tell you the truth. There is no deep hatred between me and Saktu. If I really want to leave, I can hide far away and let you get fucked by him.
One hack to death!
But! A certain Zhang Erlang didn’t do this because Saktu was a cruel man, and the black turban was like a bad wolf. He couldn’t watch a good person being bullied, so he came with you to take revenge. Tell me, outsiders like a certain
If I don’t retreat, can you retreat?”
"Can't! Can't!"
"I won't retreat even if I die!"
The believers of the three religions in the formation, Shenji and the Khotan palace guards all roared in unison at the same time.
Indeed, Zhang Zhao can leave, because on the surface, this war has nothing to do with Zhang Zhao. Zhang Zhao is taking the soldiers from Shandu to avenge them. If Zhang Zhao doesn't withdraw, where will they go?
Come and retreat?
"Moreover! I want to tell you that even if you want to withdraw now, you can't!
Because after you defeated the city of Shule, everyone killed the parents and brothers of the Karakhanites across the way, and robbed their wives, concubines, sisters, and children. They must be eager to crush your bones and raise your ashes.
This is Lower Atush, which is at least ninety miles away from Shule. No one can run ninety miles without being caught under the pursuit of cavalry!
If you fight me to the death, you may still survive, if you retreat and run away, you will definitely die!"
"Don't worry, Lord! Even if the Khotan Palace Guards fight to the last man, they will never retreat!" Liu Zaisheng took his bag and shouted.
"The people of Shenjidu will never retreat, because we want revenge!" Master Zhitong shouted loudly with his bald head and red face.
"Erlangjun! We believers of the three religions will not run away! Because we have run away enough, we have lost our parents and our children, and now we just want to fight like a man!" Huitong monk Shang Duan
Holding a horned crossbow, his face was full of seriousness.
"Okay!" Zhang Zhao shouted and rode his horse back to the place where the gold and silver were piled in the middle of the formation. He dismounted and kicked over several boxes again, and more gold and silver coins fell down with a jingle.
come out.
"It seems that you are all talented! You are all men! Then I will fight to the death with the Karakhanites here with you!
Have you seen these gold and silver? Every time you keep it for half an hour, I will give you a box. If you can keep it for more than five hours, it will all be yours.
Don’t be afraid of those who died in the battle. I will give it first and it will be sent to your family. For those who have no family, I will choose a smart orphan to inherit it! Let you eat blood every year!
but!"
As he spoke, Zhang Zhao showed a fierce expression and suddenly drew out the horizontal knife from his waist.
"Whoever dares to go out of battle without permission, I will not only kill you on the spot! After I return to Shule, I will also kill your whole family. One person commits a crime! The whole family will be executed!"
