Han Hai Tang Ergui

Chapter 129 The Darkness Before Dawn
Laughter resounded like thunder in the camp. Seeing that Zhang Zhao was here, everyone was still a little restrained, but when the calico lady came, everyone immediately ignored everything, and many of them laughed so hard that they beat their chests.

Zhang Zhao looked at the old Zhang Zhong who was cursing with a black face, dumbfounded, and gradually understood.

This little Uighur lady named Huabu is exquisite, with such a thin body, if she marries a strong man like Ma Yaozi, even if she gets married in two years, she won't be able to withstand the torture of such a bear-like man.

And how many good-tempered warriors on the battlefield?I don't know how many beatings I'll get if I follow Ma Yaozi, a rough guy who kills people without batting an eyelid.

But old Zhang Zhong was different, he didn't have to go to the battlefield, and he looked quite gentle, and when he was old, he would definitely know how to cherish a little girl who was dozens of years younger than him.

It would be better if the body is a little weaker, and it is definitely not as strong as a strong man like Ma Yaozi and Dunzhu.

The most important thing is that people in this era generally have a relatively short life expectancy. You can be called an old man in your thirties, and the average person can live to more than fifty. That is to say, in the eyes of people at this time, Zhang Zhong can still live. ten years.

And Huabu is only 13 years old, she has served Zhang Zhong for ten years, and she is only in her twenties after sending Zhang Zhong away. She has won Zhang Zhong's fields, gold and silver, and has enough years to find someone she likes. How wonderful !

"Hahaha! Good! You little girl is really not simple. This matter is decided by someone. After completing the task, someone will promise you to Zhang Zhong!" After trying to understand the reason, Zhang Zhao also laughed and burst into tears.

"Mr. Erlang! Absolutely not allowed! Absolutely not allowed! Why should I be married at this age? I must follow Mr. Erlang."

As soon as Zhang Zhong heard that Zhang Zhao was booing, he immediately ran from behind Zhang Zhao to the front with an anxious expression on his face.

But well!Zhang Zhao heard a strong sense of insincere in Zhang Zhong's words, he smiled and waved his hands.

"The loyal man has protected me for twenty years, and I have always treated the loyal man as my family member. I had planned to find a marriage for you, but now is not the right time!
I saw that although the Huabu girl is a Uyghur, she looks like a middle-earth person. She is hot and smart, and she will be fine if she is a little thinner and raised for two years.

And this was her own choice, it's not that someone insists on doing the thing of the twenty-eight beauty Isuo Lang, it's settled like this! "

"Oh, this! This is not good! I can be his grandfather! Please take it back, Mr. Erlang!"

Zhang Zhong looked at a loss, saying that he refused, but he didn't seem to be so determined. Zhang Zhao simply ignored him and turned to look at the last child.

"Hei Gou'er, can you speak Chinese? But there are still family members?"

Zhang Zhao had been talking to them in Uyghur just now, but seeing that the black dog looked like a Han child, he asked them in Chinese.

Hei Gou'er raised his head and shook his head in confusion. It seemed that he didn't understand Chinese, so Zhang Zhao could only ask the question again in Uighur.

"Going back to Master Burke, Black Dog's father is long gone. His mother died in the trench more than ten days ago. People from the rear camp helped bury her."

Heigou'er's face suddenly became very sad, there seemed to be tears in his eyes, he didn't know whether he was thinking of his father or his mother who had just died, Zhang Zhao touched his nose, in this fucking troubled world, even a family There are few complete people!

"What the hell is your father gone long ago? Where did you get your father? The one who took you out of the city was your mother? If you dare to talk nonsense in front of the master, I will knock out your teeth!"

Zhang Zhao was still feeling sad, Li Qilang slapped Heigou'er on the head with one slap, causing Heigou to tremble.

Um?Zhang Zhao looked at the boy again at this time, there was no trace of sadness on his face, and the tears disappeared, only a flattering smile on his face.

"Mr. Erlang, don't listen to this kid's nonsense. His mother is a half-closed business in the flesh and blood business. It is estimated that his mother does not know who his father is. Can he know? It is not his real mother who took him out of the city. His mother is dead. It's been several years!" After slapping the black dog, Li Qilang quickly explained to Zhang Zhao.

Zhang Zhao's cheeks twitched. This little bastard, a child of eight or nine years old, has already mastered his acting skills. He dares to lie to someone who controls his life and death like him. He is quite brave enough.

With a wave of his hand, the wild bear walked over and directly lifted the black dog into the air, and then the black dog showed a bit of fear.

"Boy, if you dare to lie in front of me, your reward is gone, and a certain told you, you'd better complete the task for me. After completing the task, the master will give you a chance to survive. If you can't complete the task, hum!"

Zhang Zhao sneered a few times while talking, just now Huang Yanger and Huabu only saw his kind side, and were thinking about how to put some pressure on them, when this black dog came to their door.

She is quite courageous at such a young age, she doesn't change her face when she tells a lie, and if she can be taught formally for a few years, she may become a talent in the future.

"Mr. Erlang! Shi Chongmin is here to report! The soil and gravel between the rocks have been cleaned up. A certain person has measured it himself, and the tunnel has indeed been dug to the bottom of the western city wall, waiting to transport the divine fire and thunder in!"

Wu Yuan'er's voice came from outside the tent, Zhang Zhao got up abruptly, the time to decide success or failure came.

. . . .

Outside Shule City, dots of fire are burning, and each fire represents a regiment of the Khotan army besieging Shule City.

There was a crackling sound. It was the Karahan people who burned their own suspension bridge with kerosene. Anyway, they blocked the four gates with boulders. It is not a big problem to keep the suspension bridge. It is better to use it than to burn it.

In the silent night, low, crying and moaning sounds like wild wolves sounded. This was from soldiers who were wounded and not yet dead in the city.

There are Khotanese and Karakhanites, but neither side intends to snatch their own people back. This is a place where both sides can get their arrows, and the risk of snatching people is extremely high.

Compared with the intermittent groans and scattered fires, there are more destroyed siege equipment under the city. Even the nest cart used for observation has been smashed all over the ground. middle.

The Kara Khanate defeated the Persian Samanid Dynasty in Talas the year before last. Saktu Bughla Khan captured a large number of Persian-style trebuchets, and even equipped them all in Shule City.

These trebuchets played a huge role in the onslaught launched by Li Shengtian himself.

They not only destroyed the only nest cart that the Khotan army could use, but also destroyed almost all the remaining wooden curtains of the Khotan army.

When it comes time to attack the city tomorrow, the Khotan army will have to rely purely on their bodies to resist the bows, arrows and stone throwing of the Karahans.

It was already at the beginning of the hour (five o'clock), and Ittihad of Shule Governor's Mansion still felt very refreshed, and he didn't feel sleepy at all.

Today's city defense battle went very smoothly, and almost all the siege equipment of Khotan Jin Kingdom was exhausted.

Although the losses in the battle outside the city a few days ago were not small, Ittihad knew that the Khotanese who had no siege equipment could no longer capture Shule.

"Thank you to those craftsmen who built the Peach Blossom Stone!" Ittihad praised softly.

This Shule city can be so strong, it is thanks to the peach blossom stone people who still occupied this place a hundred years ago, they spent a lot of manpower and material resources to build it so strong, they did not expect to become a fortress against their own people in the end.

But then Ittihad shook his head again, talking to himself.

"No! You should not thank the craftsmen of the peach blossom stone, you should thank my Lord, all of this is the will of Allah!"

. . . .

Zhang Zhao took a deep breath. All the miners in Fenjindu had withdrawn from the tunnel, and more than two hundred catties of black powder sealed in a small coffin-like container had also been buried.

Now, it depends on the power of these giant 'firecrackers', they can only succeed, not fail, because these two hundred catties of black powder are all Zhang Zhao's treasury!
