One of the best warriors in the Dashi Army died under this hammer today. Therefore, the defeated soldiers were deeply impressed by the Tang general who was chasing after him with the hammer. They thought they were no match, shouted, mounted their horses, and fled.
I want to be able to outrun the soldiers and generals of the Tang Dynasty. I just want to escape half a step faster than my own robe.
The number of Tang troops chasing was limited, and they did not intend to swallow up all the defeated troops. They just followed behind and chased them away for a while, intercepted the few hundred who were the slowest to escape, and then stopped again to digest the results of the battle.
.
Among the hundreds of defeated troops intercepted by the Tang army, more than half of the tribal servants temporarily recruited by the cannibals accounted for more than half. Seeing that the retreat was cut off, they immediately jumped off their mounts and raised their hands to surrender. The group had prepared with great pride
The Jihad volunteers who spread the Tianfang religion to the East with a butcher knife were affected. They could no longer muster the courage to prove their loyalty to Allah. They immediately dismounted, knelt on the ground and allowed themselves to be slaughtered by the Tang army. Only those in the team
A few jihadi ga'ai and a few hamamu knew that people like themselves might not be forgiven even if they surrendered, so they gathered together and tried to fight to the end. How could their group of defeated soldiers be the opponents of Anxi's new force? They were led by Wang Xun
He galloped forward with his direct descendants, and they all fell to the ground like dates beaten by frost.
"Kill the thief!" Seeing this, Xue Jingxian, who had been eager to try for a long time, quickly jumped off his horse and led his followers on foot. He held down the enemy soldier and general who was knocked off his mount, and slashed at the neck with his sword. In the blink of an eye, he was killed.
The bloody heads were cut off one by one.
According to the statistical method of military merit in the Tang Dynasty. If someone is beheaded three levels before the battle, the officer will be promoted to one rank. If he is killed three times in a row, the officer will be promoted to one level. If the person killed is an enemy general, the rank of the deceased will be based on the military rank of the deceased. In addition,
Then calculate the reward. Although the majority of these severed heads should be given to Wang Xun and his subordinates, Xue Jingxian and his followers could only get a very small part of them. But the quantity was sufficient, and today's pursuit
The battle in Zhubei is far from over. Just a little bit of oil and water from each battle can be accumulated time and time again, which is enough for Xue Jingxian and his followers to advance to one or two levels.
Guessing the opponent's thoughts, Wang Xun did not stop him. He just ordered his brothers to dismount and recover their strength, while carefully guarding the side to prevent any fallen enemy soldier from being injured seriously enough, and to hold the imperial envoy on his back before he died.
.As for the swordsmen under Xue Jingxian's command, they were so excited that they secretly beheaded several surrenderers and completely pretended not to see it.
A general knows what kind of soldiers he brings. Xue Jingxian himself likes to take advantage of everything, and the followers he brings are also very cunning. Seeing that Wang Xun doesn't care much about the life and death of the prisoners, he immediately greeted each other with his eyes and quickly said to
Among the captured volunteers, several of the most gorgeously armored guys jumped at him.
"Surrender, surrender!" the first targeted target screamed, using his hands and feet to shrink into the crowd of prisoners. The two swordsmen dragged him out of the crowd like a sheep, and wiped his throat with the blade.
, and immediately ended his life.
Another prisoner who was targeted was a Tianzhu man with a very devout faith. When he saw several swordsmen with savage faces rushing towards him, they screamed a few times and lowered their heads while chanting sutras. The swordsmen didn't care what he said.
Du was reciting something, dragged him out of the crowd, and killed him with a knife.
When the Dashi Army conquered the countries in the Western Region, they also had the habit of massacring captives after victory. Since all the captives dismounted and surrendered, it was equivalent to accepting their fate. Even if the person being dragged away was originally hiding beside him, he closed his eyes.
, did not dare to make any resistance. However, Wei Feng, the junior high school student next to Wang Xun, was soft-hearted. Seeing the respectful attitude of the prisoners, he rode his horse forward and prayed to Xue Jingxian with a smiling face: "Your Majesty, please spare their lives. It's all human life."
Killing all the children raised by my parents would be against the harmony of nature!"
Xue Jingxian did not want to offend any of the brothers under Wang Xun's command. He smiled coquettishly and explained casually, "Aren't I afraid that they will get together again to cause some evil? That's why I allowed my brothers to be ruthless.
.Killing generals and retaining troops is exactly in line with the ancient practice of handling surrendered troops."
Before Wei Feng came to Anxi, he was just a farmer. How could he argue with a scholar like Xue Jingxian, who had a serious imperial examination background? After thinking about it, he felt that what the imperial envoy said was reasonable, so he turned his head to the side and turned his eyes away.
To be pure.
In just a blink of an eye, several more luxuriously armored generals of the Eastern Crusade were dragged out and beheaded. The swordsmen also used the plate armor as trophies, peeling it off and hanging it on the back of the captured war horses. Everyone still felt sad.
Not enough levels, so he turned his attention to the servants who took the lead in begging for surrender, hoping to find some big fish among them.
All the servants and generals were equipped with their own armor. Who had a higher position and whose family was richer was more obvious than the cannibal wearing a uniform armor. Immediately, several guys dressed in luxurious clothes were unable to hide and were killed by the swordsman.
They were dragged out of the pile of prisoners one by one.
"Just kill these and that's it. Take the rest back and wait for Marshal Feng to deal with them!" Xue Jingxian ordered loudly for fear that Wang Xun would become impatient with the waiting.
"Spare your life, spare your life, Mr. Tang!" As soon as he finished speaking, a young man among the prisoners who was dragged out suddenly shouted in Tang dialect. The words were spoken in a smooth accent, and it turned out to be a standard Chang'an accent.
"Stop, don't kill him yet!" Xue Jingxian was shocked. He quickly stepped forward and swung a knife on the beggar's neck. "How come you can speak Tang Yan? Where did you learn it?"
"The younger one, the younger one is not a big cannibal. The younger one is a merchant from Mulu City. He followed his father to Chang'an to sell goods, so he learned some Tang dialect. The younger one was forced by the big cannibal to join the army, not on his own initiative.
Come on. I know that my crime is worthy of death, so please forgive us, Master Tang, for the sake of our last resort!" The young prisoner kowtowed and begged for mercy, and explained quickly.
"Raise your head!" Xue Jingxian shouted loudly.
"I don't dare, little one! I'm afraid I'll scare the Tang Dynasty master because I'm ugly!" the young captive responded loudly and slowly raised his head. He had a high nose and deep eyes, and he indeed had a Persian face.
“Were you really brought here?”
"Mr.
"Yes!" Xue Jingxian was stunned, then turned around and prepared to leave. The moment his eyes met Wang Xun's, he quickly winked at him to show that he understood.
The young prisoner didn't know there was a scam, so he was so frightened that he immediately rushed over and hugged Xue Jingxian's thigh with both hands, "Master Tang Ren, Master Tang Ren, my family is rich, my family is rich. You can redeem your body, but redeem your body for me!"
Hearing this, all the swordsmen and followers couldn't help but laugh, and gathered around to see what kind of fun this person could make when he spoke without hesitation. Xue Jingxian was also so amused that he shrugged his shoulders and suppressed his laughter.
He thought, and continued to say in a deep voice, "Do you think I'm crazy because I'm poor? I need your stinky money? It's just a trifle, and I have to support you for several months in vain!"
"It's not trivial, it's a lot, a lot!" The young prisoner continued to hold Xue Jingxian's calf tightly with one hand, and gestured back and forth with the other hand, "A lot, a lot of money. Mr. Tang, I will send someone to deliver a message to my father right away.
.If you spare my life, he will definitely repay your kindness!"
"I don't care about the reward from a trader!"
Isn’t it better to take some bad money from your family?!”
"It's not bad money, bad money. It's fragrant money, fragrant money!" The young captive was afraid that Xue Jingxian would go away, hugging his thigh and begging, "My father is not just a merchant. He is also the tax collector of Mulu City. That's right.
, that is your Lord Hucao from the Central Plains!"
"Your father is more than just a little housekeeper!" Xue Jingxian sneered and turned around, pressing the tip of the knife against the opponent's blood vessel. "To be honest, what does your father do? If you dare to talk too much, I will kill you.
Let me bleed you directly!"
He was not very handsome to begin with, but when he got angry, his face became even more sinister. The young prisoner was so frightened that his soul almost flew away. He grabbed the blade with his fingers, and blood dripped down, "I said, I said
, Mr. Tang, I don’t dare to do it anymore. My father is Sharp Su Lun, the governor of Mulu City, the younger one is called Bao Bo, and there is another Tang named Su Shi!”
"Su Shi, right?"
Playing with you!"
He originally wanted to yell at the other party and ask him for details about the big cannibals nearby, in case he encountered enemy reinforcements during the pursuit. Unexpectedly, the little guy named Su Shi would make the wrong mistake and grabbed him.
He held Xue Jingxian's extended palm and shouted loudly, "I, my father can help you to deal with the big cannibal together! Before the big cannibal came, Mulu City belonged to our family, and my father had a high prestige among the people!"
If you don’t believe it, ask a few of them!”
After that, he pointed his hand at the other prisoners who were pulled out, and shouted a lot in a strange language.
The captives with rather luxurious armors thought they had no hope of survival, but they didn't expect that their young master could still talk to the Tang Dynasty master. They immediately crawled over and pressed their hands on their chests. At the same time, they couldn't stop shouting.
.You can tell at a glance that he is swearing.
"I'm not right. You can beg for mercy from him. He is the commander-in-chief!" Xue Jingxian stepped aside and directed everyone's attention to Wang Xun with a smile.
"General, have mercy on me, general, have mercy on me!" Su Shi immediately crawled towards Wang Xun with his entourage, his hands on the ground, and his head felt like pounded garlic.
"How can you guarantee that your father can help us deal with the giant cannibal!" Suddenly picking up a treasure, Wang Xun was a little moved. He frowned and continued to ask.
"I, I..." The young captive named Su Shi looked around. He was convinced that no other captive around him understood Tang Yan, so he lowered his voice and responded, "To be honest with Mr. Tang, my family was originally forced to surrender.
Cannibal. When my great-great-grandfather was still alive, he was an official of your Tang Dynasty. What is it called the governor? Yes, Dong'an governor. At that time, the entire Nami River bank was loyal to the Tang Dynasty, and it was called Kangju Dudufu! My family
There are also people who served as the long history of Kangju Dudufu and were responsible for promoting the education of the Tang Dynasty." (Note 1)
"No wonder this person can speak Tang dialect fluently!"
It happened before. At that time, our territory of the Tang Dynasty reached directly to the Amu Darya River. Unfortunately, we lost this place later. And because Empress Wu was in power in the country, civil strife continued..."
Hearing that he had a chance to survive, Su Shi immediately killed the snake and followed it with a stick, "I, my great-great-grandfather, had to take refuge with the cannibals because he did not receive timely support from the Tang Dynasty. Otherwise, the people in my family would also
I won’t keep learning Tang Yan!”
This may not necessarily be the truth, but the intention of the Su Lun family to stand on the wall between the two great powers of Dashi and the Tang Dynasty is undoubtedly exposed. Otherwise, the family would not have told the story of more than ninety years ago to them.
He also spent a lot of time teaching Su Shi to learn the standard Chang'an dialect.
Thinking of this, Wang Xun looked at Xue Jingxian and made a quick decision, "I decided to believe your words, but you need to take some practical actions to prove that you sincerely surrender!"
"Sincerely, sincerely. If there is even the slightest bit of falsehood, there will be thunder and lightning!" Su Shi knew that he had escaped, so he crawled over and kissed Wang Xun's boots with his lips.
Wang Xun kicked this man away in disgust and shouted in a low voice: "Who are the other cronies you brought from Mulu Prefecture? Pick them all out. Take these prisoners back to the camp for me. I will send another twenty
Brothers will help you. If you dare to have any evil intentions, they will chop you into pieces!"
This made Su Shi feel even more overjoyed. He rolled on the spot and stood up quickly, "Yes, yes! I'm going to summon my subordinates now. You, you, and the rest of you, what are you doing standing still?"
The master is going to give everyone a chance to make atonement for their crimes!"
"This guy!" Even though his face had been sharpened enough, Xue Jingxian felt ashamed. He shook his head and reminded Wang Xun in a low voice, "Is it enough for twenty people to escort the prisoners? What if they have evil intentions on the way?
,Would not it be……"
"There are still our people around who are chasing the defeated troops, and no one can make a big splash. Besides, this Persian boy named Su is probably eager to have such an opportunity!" After so many hardships, Wang Xun no longer looks like he is here.
Chang'an City was as confused as before, so he smiled and patiently explained to Xue Jingxian, "Here in the Western Regions, many small countries are fighting against Qin, Mu and Chu. A few years ago, General Gao was defeated, and they all surrendered to Dashi. Today we are going to make a big breakthrough here.
After the news of the cannibalism of 120,000 coalition troops spreads, I am afraid that the heads of many small countries will change their families again!"
"This guy is a blessing in disguise!"
.If you establish a relationship with the Tang Army coach on behalf of your family, your family will probably look at your status differently after you return!
