Han Hai Tang Ergui

Chapter 101
The Chi River, also known as the Kashgar River in later generations, is a magical river with a width of forty meters but an average depth of less than three meters.

The riverside is mostly sandy land with lush reeds, but it is only March, and the reeds have not yet grown up, so the whole Chihe River does not look desolate.

'Boom! 'A vibrating sound similar to bowstring but different from bowstring sounded,
'Bah! 'The sound of a sharp knife piercing the flesh came, and a bearded warrior fell to the ground in response.

The short arrow completely sank into his back, leaving only a little bit of tail feathers. This is obviously not something that ordinary step bows can do, it should be a crossbow arrow!
"Boom!" There was another frightening firing sound, and Mahmoud trembled in fear, but his pace was not slow.

Just as he was speeding across a lump of mud, another warlord next to him suddenly screamed and covered his neck, and blood spurted out from between his fingers.

The god warrior didn't fall down for a while, and after running forward for a dozen steps, he fell forward with a bang and fell into the water just below his ankles.

Isn't this a crossbow?It is impossible for a crossbow to have such a fast rate of fire!
As a veteran warrior who has been in Peach Blossom Stone for five years, Mahmoud is very familiar with the crossbow, the favorite long-range weapon used by the Peach Blossom Stone Empire.

It has great power and high accuracy, but the reloading is very slow, and it definitely does not have such good maneuverability. No one can guarantee the running speed while carrying a crossbow weighing more than ten kilograms.

unless!The Gaochang people on the opposite side have many crossbows!

While thinking about it, Mahmud had already run to the beach on the shore. He remembered that there was a post station and a restaurant not far away. It was the best resting place before entering Jiashi City. There were many merchants and herdsmen passing by. There is a small guard guarding them, as long as they run to the vicinity of the station, their lives will be saved.

There was a shrill scream from behind, and Mahmoud didn't even turn his head. He knew that the god warriors he had recruited and the local ruffians in Shule City were being beheaded by those Gaochang people.

But every time a Gaochang man kills a person, his speed will slow down by a point. He doesn't care what happens to others, as long as he can run to the post station.

This defeat is inexplicable!

Mahmoud first bought a very important piece of information from a strong man Ge Luolu in Shule City.

A nobleman from Gaochang Uyghur sent his confidant to bring three thousand pieces of property to Shule to redeem people. He is currently repairing near Jiashi City. There are not many guards, that is, 30 people.

After hearing the news, Mahmud began to recruit warriors from all over the world. They came from all over the world, including Mahdia, Maghreb, and Egypt.

Of course, the most people are from Baghdad and Isfahan, and many of them are experienced warriors.

It’s just that Mahmoud never expected that he summoned 70 people and annexed another group of Tiele people who had the same intention on the way. He already had 30 people near Jiashi, half of them had armor, although Mostly dilapidated, but not defenseless.

But just when Mahmoud felt like he was holding his hand and searching around, he was surprised by a group of heavily armored soldiers he had never seen before this morning.

They took advantage of the night to kill the secret sentry he left outside, and then rushed in. Mahmoud hardly organized any resistance, eh!Maybe he didn't think about organizing resistance at all.

What is there to resist?Wearing polished and shiny heavy armor, he doesn't even make a sound when killing people, he is as silent as a stone man, and can attack at night, is he able to resist?

This is the elite of the guards under the Khalifa Kahir, especially the giant holding a giant ax he saw under the moonlight, which put a lot of mental pressure on Mahmoud. He really couldn't think of anything other than running. There is a better way to deal with it.

Fortunately, his choice was correct. Mahmoud looked at the hut of the post station very close at hand, and was very grateful for his choice.

Only then did he turn around and look behind him. It was not bad, there were more than a dozen people following him, and they were all his trusted brothers. If he returned to Shule City, he could still protect himself.

"Hurry up, everyone. I still have a few Saman silver coins with me. Let's have a good meal and buy a few more horses before we can go back to Shule!"

I have to say that Mahmoud is a qualified leader, and he knows how to cheer up his subordinates at this time.

And it was indeed useful. The panic-stricken team immediately regained some anger after hearing Mahmoud's words.

There are not many silver coins, so I can't eat anything good, so I can only serve a plate of extremely thick multigrain pancakes, and then ask the store to burn a large pot of soup with a little salt and messy small fish and shrimp.

The people who had fled for more than an hour in shock, didn't care what they were eating, and started gobbling it up.

As he was eating, Mahashed suddenly realized that something was wrong. This inn, where people come and go on weekdays, was a bit too deserted today!
Aside from them and the shopkeeper, only a man in a broad cloak and a fur hat was eating.

And Mahmoud noticed that the man in the wide cloak was smiling strangely at him.

That kind of smile made Mahmoud feel cold, it was quite weird, and it made his heart thump.

"The sky is bright today! I don't know if Chief Ashina Chuan has ever seen the majesty of the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty?"

After Zhang Zhao ate the last piece of coarse wheat cake, he smiled and looked at Hu'er, who was wearing a fur hat and looked a little uneasy.

The surname Ashina, even those who don't know much about history, have heard of it. It is the surname of the Turkic ruling family, and it is famous on the grassland.

But some people also learned about it from the TVB TV series "The Princess Married". After all, the name Ashina Shabi is really magical.

The person Zhang Zhao called Ashina Chuu was a Turkic man whose appearance was not much different from that of the Han people, except for the dark spots of his complexion.

But strictly speaking, he is no longer Turkic, he should be called Basmi.

This is a branch of the Turkic people. Historically, they were called Guitang Bashimi.

When the Tang Dynasty sent troops to attack the Eastern Turks, the leader of the Baximi tribe, Zhimi Chuo, led the army to attack with the famous general Wang Huo during Xuanzong's period, so he was awarded the post of Jinshan Road Chief by the Tang Dynasty.

However, the experience of the Bashimi Ministry was a bit miserable. He wanted to fight the Eastern Turks with Datang, but he was defeated in the battle and was annexed by the Turks in the end.

Later, the Turkic state was in chaos, and the Bashimi tribe, the Uyghurs and the Geluolu people broke away from the Turks together. Together, they supported the Uyghur Usumish Khan as their leader, and finally chose to stand on their own.

However, among those who mixed with the Ge Luolu people, there were very few people who were not stabbed in the back by them.

During the Tianbao period, the Ge Luolu people attacked and killed the Khan Ashinashi of Basimi and swallowed the entire Basimi tribe in one gulp.

Fortunately, the Ashina family, the leader of the Baximi people who were not killed, was moved to the vicinity of Jiashi City and surrendered to the Kara Khanate.

Ashina Chu is the direct descendant of Ashina Shi who was killed by the Geluolu people.

Zhang Zhao will not let go of those Geluolu people who betrayed the Tang Dynasty, introduced Tianfang Sect into Anxi and spread it violently, but Bashimibu can win them over.

Not only because they were the first tribe to seek refuge in the Tang Dynasty, but also because the Basimi people later moved eastward to the southwestern part of the Liao Kingdom to recruit envoys to settle down in the area.

In the end, most of them integrated into the Han nationality, and a small part was brought back to their hometown by Yelu Dashi to participate in the establishment of Xiliao.
