Chapter 408
Hamir Bart is an out-and-out Tocharian, but he believes in the Dashi Cult. He served in the Dashi Eastern Army in his early years. Because of his bravery in combat, he was promoted to be a centurion and led a hundred soldiers to guard the infantry division. Haiburg in the south of the country.

His good luck seems to end here, admiring the death of his chief general, the successive leaders of the Eastern Legion have attached great importance to bloodlines.

Because of his humble background, Hamill could no longer be reused, and stayed in Hayburg for 15 years.

Three years ago, Abbas was born in Khorasan and raised the banner of overthrowing the Umayyad Dynasty. Hamir, who hated the decadent Umayyad Dynasty, did not hesitate to join the tide of the uprising. middle.

Abbas was victorious, and Hamill also became the third person in the Eastern Army because of his meritorious deeds. He led [-] troops to guard the infantry country.

But the change of human temperament often happens overnight. In just a few months, Hamill became a hundred times more corrupt than he hated bureaucrats before.

As if he was trying to make up for the unfair treatment he suffered in the past 20 years, he began to amass money crazily and occupy women crazily.

In just three years, Bu Shiguo's wealth was sucked up by him, and the wealth accumulated by the Eastern Legion for more than ten years finally fell into his hands. His wives and concubines also amounted to hundreds of people, and they had more than twenty children. indivual.

Of course, he didn't dare to take all the wealth as his own, and he sent half of it to Mulu. Even so, the wealth he collected was still incomparably rich.

At this moment, the Battle of Talas broke out, the Great Food Army was defeated by the Tang Army, and the Great Food Army began to shrink across the board. Abu Muslim ordered Hamir to lead his army back to Khorasan.

Hamill knew that his wealth had long been pegged by Abu Muslim, and as long as he withdrew it, he would surely die.

He was not reconciled, and looked for a way out everywhere, his eyes finally fixed on Juzhanti.

Juzhanti was occupied by the Tang army, and all the residents who believed in the Great Food Cult were expelled. Then the Tang army withdrew, but Cao Guo dared not take it back, and Juzhanti became a land without owner.

Hamill led two thousand loyal troops to occupy Juzhanti without hesitation and became the new city lord of Juzhanti.

At this time, Abu Muslim was executed, and Ziyad became the new governor of Khorasan. He changed his strategy and began to secretly support Hamir's occupation of Juzhanti.

Hamill's occupation of Juzhanti was just a strategic shift by himself, but the tens of thousands of residents of Juzhanti fell into hell.

Hamill not only brutally exploited the residents of Juzhanti, but also forced the residents to send their wives and daughters to the barracks for the enjoyment of his soldiers.

In addition, he also cut off the commercial roads between Tocharia and the countries in the river, which was to execute Ziyad's order to cut off the connection between Tocharia and the river.

He hanged more than 100 Tocharian merchants on a big tree and hanged them to death. No merchant dared to fight, and at the same time cut off the trade between Tocharian and Hezhong.

On the last day of August, 1 Tang troops arrived in the small town of Basha, about [-] miles east of Juzhanti.

The 1 troops consisted of [-] regular troops, [-] Modao troops, and [-] logistical soldiers assisting the Modao army, who were also responsible for taking care of the camels.

Tang Jun was stationed outside the town to rest, and Li Ye listened to the scout's report.

"Reporting to the governor, there was a team of 20 people stationed in the town. When we arrived, we found that the team had already evacuated. We asked the residents, and they already knew about our arrival."

Li Ye made several plans, the best one of which was that the other party didn't know they had brought them, so they attacked Ju Zhanti and captured the city in one fell swoop, but obviously, the other party was not as mentally retarded as he thought.

Pei Xiu said beside him: "Captain, they should have discovered us when we were crossing the river. They must have deployed secret sentries at the ferry."

Li Ye groaned silently, he also thought so, it was a bit wrong for them to take the ancient ferry to cross the river.

Wang Xuanwu said: "Captain, sneak attack is impossible, we can only attack the city directly!"

Li Ye glanced at the generals and said slowly: "I don't need to sneak attack, I can also beat them to pieces!"

At five o'clock the next day, Pei Xiu and An Taixuan's [-] troops set off first. Instead of attacking the city, they ambushed in the south canyon. Once the enemy retreated, they were responsible for ambushing and intercepting them.

Li Ye's order was to annihilate this army, leaving no one alive, and not allowing them to flee back to Dashi.

At dawn, Li Ye ordered the camels to stay in Basha Town temporarily, guarded by [-] logistics soldiers, and he set off with the remaining [-] soldiers.

At this time, the Yiqianmodao army has put on their armor, and they will be the main force to attack the city.

The team also carried three large rafts, which they made overnight in Basha Town. They chose straight pine trunks and tied them with leather belts.

The top of the raft is also equipped with a large iron hook, which is mainly used to hook the city wall so that it will not be overturned by the defenders at the top of the city.

The Modao army has been trained for more than two months and has climbed thousands of times. Everyone is already proficient in their feet. Li Ye selected another [-] heavy shields to serve as cover for the soldiers when they climbed the city.

Near noon, the army went to the city of Juzhanti and formed a formation on the top of the city. The team was neat, the battle flags were flying, and the spears were like forests.

The city was full of enemy soldiers. In addition to the [-] confidant soldiers, Hamill ordered thousands of young and strong men to go to the city to help defend the city.

"The owner of the city is Tang Jun!" The soldiers on the top of the city shouted.

Hamill is tall and burly, about 40 years old, with a big beard, holding a big knife in his hand, wearing a gold helmet and a golden chain mail armor. Huo Luo is very famous, the dozen or so gemstones inlaid on the helmet alone are extremely valuable
Hamill always thought that the army of Bahana was coming to attack the city, and he knew that the man of Bahana had been eyeing Juzhanti all the time.

Unexpectedly, it would be Tang Jun, Hamill suddenly became nervous, and he shouted: "Don't be afraid, the city gate is newly installed, they can't break through it, everyone prepare bows and arrows!"

At this time, a subordinate reminded: "Tang Jun likes to attack west from east, last time they attacked from west city."

One sentence reminded Hamill, and he shouted to the lieutenant: "Amand, you lead a thousand soldiers to defend the east city, and I will defend the west city. They are probably attacking from the west city!"

"Follow the order!"

Hamill knew that the locals were unreliable, and he had to rely on his two thousand confidant soldiers to fight.

He didn't bring any civilians with him, but only led a thousand soldiers to the west city.

The city of Juzhanti was divided into two by the river, and the east and west walls were more than ten feet apart. It was impossible to pass directly from the head of the city. You had to go down to the city first to cross the bridge, and then go up to the west city.

Hamill led a thousand soldiers to the west city. He actually had selfish motives. If the east city could not be defended, he could retreat directly from the west city. Of course, how to take away the wealth he accumulated was also a headache.

Li Ye had the idea of ​​dividing his troops to attack Xicheng before, but now it is unnecessary, he waved his sword and shouted: "Army on the crossbow!"

Every soldier of the Tang army carried a crossbow. Five thousand soldiers rushed up and quickly formed a crossbow formation two hundred steps away from the city wall. This was clearly bullying the opponent's bow and arrow. The range is at most about a hundred steps, or even less than a hundred steps, how can it compete with the powerful crossbow.

Therefore, without the interference of the Great Food Army, Tang Jun existed like a god in the entire Hezhong area and Tocharian area.

The soldiers attacking the city were fully prepared, and Li Ye gave an order, "Fire the arrows!"

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

With the rapid sound of clappers, five thousand crossbow troops shot arrows at the top of the city together. The arrows were like a storm, overwhelming the defenders at the top of the city.

"Attack!"

Li Ye gave another order, and Hei Mao, the leader of Modao Army, shouted: "Follow me!"

A thousand heavy armored infantry lined up to follow the general and walked towards the city head step by step, while in front of them, three hundred soldiers carried three large rafts and moved towards the city wall.
