Seeing that the general fell from his horse, life and death were uncertain. The Stone Castle tribe troops swarmed forward and were all stunned involuntarily. At this moment, Zhou Xiaofeng took out the command arrow from his arms, raised it high, and at the same time shouted loudly in Turkic language: "
By the order of the Anxi Protector General, Sa Yihei, who is colluding with Tibet, is to be killed. The rest of the people should not act rashly! Otherwise, they will be killed without mercy!"
"Sa Yihei colluded with Tibet and has been ordered to be executed by the Anxi Governor. The rest of the people should not act rashly!" More than a thousand Anxi elites were well prepared and repeated in unison in Turkic and Tang dialects at the top of their lungs.
"Sa Yihei colluded with Tibet and was ordered to be killed by the Anxi Governor. The rest of the people should not act rashly! Otherwise, they will be killed without mercy!" "Kill without mercy!" Thunderous shouts rolled across the desert. After hearing these words,
Most of the tribal troops in Stone Castle immediately retreated. The remaining half also hesitated and turned their heads to Sa Yihei's younger brother, Abbas, the deputy commander of the tribal army. Only a dozen of them died against Sa Yihei.
The loyal disciples continued to roar wildly and rushed towards the center of the battlefield, trying to kill Zhou Xiaofeng and others to avenge the death of their family leader.
Abbas was originally very weak, and now that his brother, whom he had always regarded as his backbone, died again, he was even more distraught. For a moment, he could not come up with any accurate ideas. Taking advantage of this opportunity, Mingming was wrapped in
"Manra" from Heibuli shouted loudly, "Warriors, the opportunity to devote yourself to Allah has come, why are you still hesitating? Rush forward and cut down the Tang people. Allah will witness your loyalty in the Kingdom of Heaven!"
These "manras" who are spearheading the expansion of the black food country under the guise of missionary work are actually fanatical believers. The scriptures they speak have completely deviated from traditional Muslim teachings. But equally
The Capricorns, who harbored the dream of recreating the era when China was divided into five centaurs, did not know that they had been deceived. Thinking of the inexhaustible fruits, silks, and flowers in heaven, their courage immediately increased. Immediately, another
Hundreds of religious warriors mobilized their mounts and charged towards Zhou Xiaofeng and others while waving their scimitars.
Seeing that the stone castle defenders were stubborn, the Tang Dynasty border troops brought by Zhou Xiaofeng also moved. With more than 300 armored cavalry as the vanguard, they formed a wedge-shaped array and slowly pressed towards the center of the battlefield.
As soon as the border troops of the Tang Dynasty moved, Fang Ziling, who was plundering the formation for Wang Xun not far away, also waved his command flag. Twenty-five flying dragon guards, more than 400 Loulan warriors, and more than a hundred servants that Wang Xun had just collected last night, lined up in a formation.
The three-fold horn formation roared down the sand dunes.
Seeing that the three armies were about to start a melee, there was suddenly another burst of exciting horn sounds. The four directions of east, south, west and north were filled with smoke and dust at the same time. Countless tribes from the Western Regions under the banner of the Tang Dynasty, from
Rolling in behind the dunes.
"According to the order of the General Protector of Anxi, Sa Yihei, who is colluding with Tibet, is to be killed. No one else is involved, so don't act rashly!"
"According to the order of the General Protector of Anxi, Sa Yihei, who is colluding with Tibet, is to be killed. No one else is involved, so don't act rashly!"
"According to the order of the General Protector of Anxi, Sa Yihei, who is colluding with Tibet, is to be killed. No one else is involved, so don't act rashly!"
"According to the order of the General Protector of Anxi, Sa Yihei, who is colluding with Tibet, is to be killed. No one else is involved, so don't act rashly!"
From all directions, tens of thousands of tribal warriors shouted in unison. The sound was like thunder, splitting the Ma Jie people on the battlefield until their faces turned pale and pale.
As a servant army, the Ma Jie warriors were originally in awe of the Tang Dynasty. Suddenly they found themselves in a tight siege, and the courage they had just inspired by religious fanaticism immediately weakened by half. Most of the warriors who rushed out immediately fell under Abbas's command.
The leader took his mount and waited for the Tang Dynasty to deal with him. Only a dozen of Sa Yihei's confidants, a few bewildered fanatics and visitors from the Dashi Country who knew that their conspiracy had been exposed were divided into groups according to the order of departure.
Three waves, chanting scriptures orally, and continuing to rush forward like crazy.
It was too late to say, but it was too soon. All of this happened in just a few breaths. Before Sa Yihei's confidants could get within thirty steps of him, Yu Wenzhi had already bent his bow and set an arrow. "You don't know whether to live or die."
Thing!" He sneered slightly, pulled the bow string, and shot out the arrows like a volley of arrows.
Yu Wenzhi's archery skills were already at a high level. After being suppressed by Gao Lishi in the Stone Castle last year, he worked hard again. This time, he used it with perfect accuracy. In the blink of an eye, he killed the tribesmen who came towards him.
Five of the soldiers were defeated, and the remaining ones did not dare to gather together as targets, so they had to disperse their formation and continue to advance. The shouts in their throats were still high, but their momentum was exhausted.
Seeing this scene, Li Yuanqin burst into laughter. He straightened his head and rode his horse to meet him. In order to deal with Yu Wenzhi's cold arrows, the Majie tribe's warriors had become very loose in formation. At this moment, Li Yuanqin counterattacked, and in a hurry
They couldn't cooperate with each other, and there was only one famous warrior fighting this man alone. In front of a horse warrior like Li Yuanqin, this kind of behavior was no different from sending death. As soon as the horses of both sides were stirruped, the Ma Jie warriors dismounted from their mounts.
He fell down. There was a bloody gash in his throat, his limbs twitched, and he couldn't live without seeing it.
Once the attack was successful, Li Yuanqin did not look back, and rode straight towards the second wave of black-robed diners who were attacking. The "Manla" of the big food country, who was wrapped in black cloth, was just a mouthpiece that incited others to die.
, when it was his turn, he was so frightened that he lost all courage. When he saw the bright sword stabbing at him, he didn't dare to use his weapon to fight, so he turned his mount around and tried to escape.
In front of the two armies, how could there be enough time to escape? Before he could turn the horse aside, Li Yuanqin's long spear had already arrived. There was only a "plop" sound, and the three-foot spear thrust into two and a half. The big black-clothed evil eater
He was lifted off his mount, screaming at the top of his lungs while struggling with his hands and feet in the air.
"What a shame!" Li Yuanqin shook his arm and threw the evil eater in black, who was still alive, away from the front. Then he pushed the flat end of his left arm to the side with his right arm, and he was looking for a snake. One foot
He made the eight-foot-long horse sway from side to side like his own arms that had grown longer. The other two diners in black, who couldn't avoid it, were so cramped that their muscles and bones were broken, and they screamed and fell off the horse.
These times, the rabbits and falcons were flying, and the dishes were served cleanly. Not only did they frighten the nearby big diners out of their wits, but even the crazy believers of the Ma Jie tribe who were attacking not far away also changed their faces, and they all felt the same in their hearts.
Thinking about it, if I had been against this person just now, how certain would I have been of surviving?
No, the answer is obvious. Under normal circumstances, if they form a formation and charge together, a dozen Ma Jie tribe warriors may be able to block this person's attack if they cooperate with each other. If he fights alone, I'm afraid no one can be his opponent. But now the clan leader has been
General Tang was shot to death, and there were tens of thousands of warriors from other tribes around him who were quickly gathering here. How could there be a chance for everyone to form a formation and fight? In an instant, the crazy believers suddenly woke up as if they had been poured cold water on their heads.
, actually immediately dropped the machete, yelled "spare my life" and ran away.
Li Yuanqin did not bother to pursue such a coward. He turned his horse and attacked the remaining diners in black from behind. Just as he was riding his horse through the formation, the remaining diners in black and Sa Yihei's confidants were already surrounding him.
When they arrived at Zhou Xiaofeng's side, they expected to rely on their large numbers to capture the opponent and force the surrounding Tang army to find a way out. Unexpectedly, Zhou Xiaofeng was even more fierce than Li Yuanqin. He bared his teeth at the crowd and drew a handful from the winning hook.
A machete with nine ears and eight rings can be used to chop the head.
That knife was not among the standard weapons of the Tang Dynasty at all. The head of the knife was more than five feet long and one and a half feet wide. It was covered with an iron sleeve on jujube wood. It looked heavy and stupid. I'm afraid it wasn't scary enough when it was taken out. The back of the knife was also
There were several sawtooths with huge copper rings hanging on them. They collided with each other and made a "clang" sound. The Ma Jie warrior who was closest to Zhou Xiaofeng was stunned by the noise made by the copper rings before they could fight. Waiting to find out
The blade was approaching and it was too late to dodge. He let out a scream and his whole body was split in half diagonally.
A warrior from the Ma Jie tribe and a "Tuman" from the Great Food Nation were on either side. Before they could rush into the attack range of the Nine-Eared Eight-ringed Sword, Wang Xun, who was rushing over on horseback, blocked one of them.
The chain hammer shattered half of his head.
"Don't cause trouble, it's important to take care of your people!" Zhou Xiaofeng didn't appreciate it at all. He scolded angrily and swung the knife directly at the other person. Unexpectedly, he suddenly heard a crisp sound of a bowstring, and the stab came from an angle.
An eagle feather hit the throat of the big food "Manla" who was wrapped in black clothes.
"Yuwen boy, don't show off to me, otherwise I will serve you with a military stick!" Zhou Xiaofeng shouted angrily. His immediate boss, Feng Changqing, has always been known as a "wise general". Since then, this person has succeeded Gao Xianzhi in charge of Anxi Fourth
After the town was fortified, generals above the fourth rank were strictly prohibited from taking personal risks. For other generals, this was a sign of consideration from their superiors. But for a warrior like Zhou Xiaofeng, who was known for his bravery and had fought all the way from small soldiers, it was more difficult than having to deal with military sticks every day.
Even more uncomfortable.
After finally getting a chance to stay out of Marshal Feng's eyes, he originally wanted to enjoy his addiction of killing enemies. Unexpectedly, Wang Xun and Yu Wenzhi didn't give him a chance at all. They attacked the enemies left and right.
Got it all.
"Do you two still have a general like me in your eyes?" Seeing that Wang Xun and Yu Wenzhi were unwilling to obey, Zhou Xiaofeng continued to scold. The horse under his crotch did not stop for a moment, surpassed the two, and rushed towards the fourth one, covered in black.
A big eater of clothing.
Wang Xun and Yu Wenzhi looked at each other and smiled, then turned around to collect their own troops who rushed down from the sand dunes to prevent the tribal warriors from rising up and disrupting Zhou Xiaofeng's deployment. The other person held a horn bow and stared at Zhou Xiaofeng's
On both sides, the general will not be flanked by the enemy.
Without his own people around to grab the credit, Zhou Xiaofeng opened his hands and feet more freely. The nine-eared eight-ringed knife was swung like a windmill, "Hua Leng" and "Hua Leng" one by one, killing the two big black eaters who tried to capture him.
The evil guest of the country chopped off his mount one after another.
It's a pity that he still hasn't had the opportunity to charge into the battle. Seeing his brother being split into two pieces by the nine-eared eight-ringed knife and his weapons, the black-clad evil guest in the sixth position has long lost his courage, "
Devil!" He shouted, turned his horse and ran away. When he met Li Yuanqin who was turning back, he was stabbed under the horse by the opponent.
Seeing helplessly that there were only four people on the other side, but they killed more than a dozen of their companions one after another. The other warriors from the Ma Jie tribe and the evil eaters from the black clothes were frightened to death. "Ghost!" Someone screamed and called.
They turned their mounts and took the lead in escaping to the edge of the battlefield. The remaining people immediately collapsed and did not care about fighting Zhou Xiaofeng anymore. They turned their horses' heads and fled in all directions.
At this moment, there was no chance of escape. The Feilong Imperial Guards and the Tang Dynasty border troops had already surrounded them, snatched them one by one, and knocked them off their horses. Some of them accidentally bumped into each other and rushed towards the stone castle tribe army.
Instead of coming forward to rescue them, the team and their former commanders threw nooses to pull them off their horses, then tied them into a ball and threw them in contempt in front of the army.
By the time Wang Xun gathered his troops, the battle on the battlefield was over. A total of twenty-seven Ma Jie warriors and nine evil eaters in black were killed, and the rest were all captured by the Stone Castle defenders who were preparing to surrender.
.Lest that the Tang general holding the nine-eared and eight-ringed sword would not be able to kill enough, he ordered all his people to be cut off. Sayihei's younger brother Abbas jumped off his mount, raised the scimitar above his head, and walked towards the battlefield with three steps and one bow.
Central. Kneeling in front of Zhou Xiaofeng, he cried and begged: "General of the Tang Dynasty, General of the Tang Dynasty. My brother was tempted by the cannibal in black, and that's why he decided to run a baggage train. Now he has paid for himself with his life.
For the sins you have committed, please be noble and let us, the Ma Jie family, go. From now on, no matter whether we are a cow or a horse, we will not dare to disobey at all!"
"Let you go?!" Zhou Xiaofeng also jumped off his mount, but refused to take the scimitar raised above his head. "If I were a step too late and let these brothers fall into your hands, you would give them a chance later."
A way out?"
The answer is of course no. Before setting off, Sa Yihei had reached a consensus with the senior leaders of the clan to kill all the Tang people who were transporting baggage, swallow this precious ordnance, and then escape to the command of Ge Shuhan, the governor of Hexi Province.
Seek asylum. When the big cannibal in black is ready to march eastward and establish the kingdom of heaven on earth, he will stab Brother Shuhan in the back, and with the support of the big cannibal, he will become the overlord of the Western Region or the entire Central Plains.
This plan is so long-term that Sa Yihei himself is not very confident when talking about it. But in the face of naked interests, they think that at least the first step is worth a try. Unexpectedly, the dream has just begun, and it is...
The man was stabbed awake, and Sa Yihei himself lost his life because of it.
However, at this juncture, Abbas did not have the courage to tell the truth, nor could he think of a lie that would not be easily exposed, so he had to put down his machete and kowtow continuously.
Seeing that he still refused to speak, Zhou Xiaofeng sighed softly, "It's okay, if you ask for mercy, you will get mercy. I won't make it difficult for you. Come on..."
"General, have mercy, General, have mercy!" Abbas hurriedly took a few steps on his knees and hugged Zhou Xiaofeng's boots with both hands, "General, General, General, it was Sa Yihei and Shaman who were bewitched. We can't defeat them.
I have to obey. I have to obey!"
"Just two people?" Zhou Xiaofeng continued to sneer, "How about I kill your tribe and then kill two random people to pay for your lives?"
"My lord, have mercy on me, my lord, have mercy on me!" Abbas's forehead was dripping with cold sweat, which mixed with blood and dyed the sand in front of him pink. "There are also some elders and warriors who were bewitched by the big cannibal in black. But they
I wasn’t deceived enough, and I’m already starting to regret it!”
"If they hadn't seen my army just now, would they have regretted it? I guess they would have killed me too?!" Zhou Xiaofeng shrugged and asked with a smile.
Before a few tribal troops under the banner of the Tang Dynasty appeared around, Abbas had indeed planned to wipe out all the Tang people and avenge his brother. However, the situation was uncontrollable, and then people from various tribes appeared around him.
The total number of the coalition forces is 20,000 to 30,000. If the Ma Jie tribe dares to take action, they will be defeated to the point where not even their bones are left.
He knew that if he didn't cut off his wrist today, he would definitely not be able to explain it. He gritted his teeth and said loudly: "General, you are aware that the people of Capricorn know that they have offended General Huwei, and they dare not beg for your forgiveness. I only ask that you remember that my clan once followed
General Gao Xianzhi has shed his blood for the Tang Dynasty, leaving us a way to survive!"
"You did not offend my general Hu Wei, but you offended the Heavenly Power of the Tang Dynasty. We have a saying in the Central Plains, which is, 'Anyone who offends our Heavenly Power of the Han Dynasty will be punished no matter how far away!' At the moment, the Han Dynasty is the Tang Dynasty. The Tang Dynasty is the Han Dynasty. If I were to
If I let you off so easily, wouldn't it mean that I, the son of the Tang Dynasty, could be killed casually when I travel to the Western Regions?"
"General, have mercy!" "General, have mercy!" Abbas was speechless and could only kowtow and beg for mercy.
"Let's do this!" Zhou Xiaofeng sighed and said in a deep voice: "For the sake of your people's bloodshed for the Tang Dynasty, I will leave you a way to survive. Go, take a few people with you, and bring your people with you."
Kill all the confused shamans and those guys who were ready to attack me after hearing about the cannibals just now. As long as they remain in the tribe, I can't believe your loyalty."
"This -!" Abbas was stunned and instinctively wanted to refuse. It didn't matter if he killed the old fool, the shaman. That guy deserved it. If this man hadn't suddenly converted to Allah, he would not have brought any consequences to his tribe.
Such a huge disaster. But the number of tribesmen who rushed out just now after listening to the cannibal's encouragement was too large. Although most of them stopped midway, there was already a gap between their team and the tribesmen who stayed in place.
There was a large gap, and they were clearly distinguishable from each other. Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Abbas had no chance to kill just a few people and fool them.
Without killing, there was no way to explain to the Tang generals. By ordering the killing of those tribesmen, the Ma Jie tribe was severely weakened and could not recover to its current prosperity in ten or eight years. For a time, Abbas felt very embarrassed.
Seeing that he was still hesitant, Zhou Xiaofeng sighed again and slowly raised his right hand. "Aren't you willing? That's fine, I never force others to do anything difficult!"
"Kill!" "Kill!" "Kill!" The coalition forces of all ethnic groups surrounding him immediately raised their weapons and shouted in demonstration. Looking at the clusters of shining scimitars around him, Abbas could only raise his heart and knock his head.
He raised his head and said loudly: "General, wait a minute, I will carry out the order and eliminate the scum in the clan!"
After that, he stood up and stumbled towards his own team. Before he was halfway there, he fell again, got up, and burst into tears.
The conversation between the two people just now was all in Tang dialect, which many tribal warriors could not understand. But someone who could speak Tang dialect translated the conversation. After hearing the details, the warriors from all tribes following Wang Xun,
Including Tumati, the leader of the Mukun tribe in Tang Yanchu, couldn't help but take a breath of cold air. He was secretly glad in his heart, "Fortunately, we didn't win the battle yesterday, and we met General Xiao Wang. If we had won the battle yesterday,
, Swallow the baggage. I am afraid that if I escape to the horizon, I will be chased by this evil general armed with a machete with nine ears and eight rings, and the entire clan will be killed!"
Before they could finish sighing, the Ma Jie tribe had already begun to clean up the "scum" themselves. Abbas and several elders of the tribe, with their respective cronies, closed their eyes and chopped them one by one. While doing so, they shouted loudly.
Howling. Those guys who were inspired by the evil eaters in black and dreamed of entering heaven after death and enjoying countless sexual pleasures knew that they had no way to escape and did not dare to involve their family members, so they cried loudly and stretched their necks.
Just kill.
This kind of massacre without resistance was even more frightening than the fierce battle just now. Looking at the bloody light rising into the sky in front of them, the tribal warriors who had tried to rob the train yesterday stood on their horses one by one.
My whole body was dripping with cold sweat.
However, no one dared to have any sympathy for the fate of the Ma Jie tribe. At this moment, they finally remembered a sentence. The Han is the Tang Dynasty, and the Tang Dynasty is the Han Dynasty. Anyone who offends the power of the Han Dynasty will be punished no matter how far away they are!
