It was getting farther and farther away from Chang'an, and when Yun Hao received his son's letter, it was already twenty days later. This is still the efficiency of the airship, which is not able to rise into the air every day, even in summer. This thing is very affected by the season!

When the airship arrived, Yun Hao had already captured Shule!

This time, Yun Hao didn't let the beards kill, because the city lord of Shule was a very far-sighted guy. He took great care of the Tang people left behind in the city, and his status was similar to that of the giant pandas in later generations.

So much so that Yun Hao wanted to kill his paperwork and hand it into the city, but it was a hundred and ten Tang people in the city who came out. They knelt at Yun Hao's feet and begged Yun Hao to pardon the city lord who was full of feelings for Datang.

Yun Hao looked at the guy named Xerxes who was kneeling at his feet and kissing his boots. This guy has a brown face, black hair curly and somewhat like an African brother, and it's hard to figure out what kind of race this thing belongs to. Yun Hao judged that this guy should belong to the Arabs.

Because many of the Arabs of later generations, although they are white. But they are not in vain at all, and it is estimated that this has something to do with the hot weather in the Middle East.

"Dear Princess, Xerxes is willing to be your most faithful servant. Follow you in battle and be your knife. Xerxes is willing to decapitate any enemy wherever your arm goes. The strong Xerxes knelt at Yun Hao's feet, and the muscle lines on his back were very clear.

"Can you speak Datang dialect?" Yun Hao was very surprised by this guy's straightforward Chang'an official dialect. You must know that the tribes in this place in the Western Regions are mixed. Almost a hundred and ten miles away, it may be a language. Sometimes, Yun Hao's orders need to be translated in three or four languages. I didn't expect this guy with curly hair in front of me to say so slippery.

"If you return to the country, Xerxes admires the Tang Dynasty very much. After occupying the city, he had great respect for the Tang people. I asked them for Tang dialect, and they taught me. In two years, Xerxes had been able to talk to them. ”

"Get up!" As soon as Yun Hao raised his hand, Xerxes hurriedly got up. He bowed down and was very humble.

"You can honor the Tang people, protect them when they are in trouble, and provide for them. That's great, since they've teamed up to keep your name. Then the prince of your country will not kill you, but since you have promised to fight with your father, you must be stubborn and sharp, and really become a sword in the hands of your father. ”

"Xerxes will be like the most loyal shepherd dog, the most tame foal, to help the Lord."

Yun Hao pursed his lips, could it be that this thing already knows the work of dogs and horses? Although the words were explicit, Yun Hao still liked it very much. Anyone likes to wear a high hat. Besides, Yun Hao really had a task for him to do.

"You can move to Qiuzi, the people of Shule, and Chushili will allocate you land and pasture, and everything else you need. Take your army and follow me to battle. After the victory, you will get the wealth of honor and my support. Would you like to? Yun Hao squinted his eyes and asked Xerxes.

"Lord Guogong, I said to be your most faithful servant. Your command, the villain will do it at once. Please give the villain three days, and I will choose the bravest samurai to follow you into battle. ”

Since Xerxes was as humble as a dog, Yun Hao didn't intend to be polite.

He personally wrote the most severe order to Chushiri to take care of Xerxes' people. These clansmen were actually the hostages Xerxes placed in front of the Tang army. If Xerxes made any changes, these clansmen would become ghosts under the Tang saber.

Since Xerxes was ready to accept this condition, it was enough to prove that he really wanted to go to war with Yun Hao. In the Western Regions, fighting war has always been a shortcut to making a fortune. Countless people want to change their financial situation through war and plunder.

What's more, this time it's to go to war with the powerful Tang people. As for Zhang Liang's failure, Xerxes, who has a strong interest in Tang Wenhua, believes that this is definitely the result of the tiger's nap. Since Datang has sent this young prince again, he must have enough confidence.

Rich and dangerous, Xerxes felt that he could gamble on this.

Yun Hao watched Shule City become an uninhabited city, and Yun Hao's thoughts were similar to those in the South China Sea. Since there is no guarantee of effective notification to the Western Regions, it would be nice to make this place a no-man's land. As long as it relies on the prosperity of Datang's place, wilderness has always been the best isolation zone. No one would have the idea of a barren land, especially the big cannibals and Arabs who liked to do business more than farming.

In fact, there is only the Chinese nation in this world, which can be regarded as a pure agricultural civilization. Planting something in the soil has seeped into the genes of this nation. In the open space of the community that has not seen the future generations, there are old men and old ladies planting some potatoes and eggplants in it. In fact, the family can't eat it at all, but they like to plant it even if it is rotten in the ground.

After conquering Shule, Yun Hao began to change course. Attacking all the way to the south, crossing the Uzberi Pass. crossed the Wuhu River and marched to Shangmi City.

Four hundred miles, and a distance of four hundred miles. Yun Hao's new foothold, this was formerly the Yue Clan's capital of the Tang Dynasty. But now, it has become the world of horse thieves. Along the way, at least a thousand corpses have been found that have not yet completely become white bones! Looking at their hair and clothing, many of them are obviously Tang people.

This made Yun Hao more angry, because of the barrier of the green ridge. The Tang Dynasty knew very little about this place, only that Zhang Liang had stationed a thousand Tang troops in Shangmi City. The tall green ridge even blocked the path of the airship, and when the defense line was contracted, Yun Hao had sent people here to convey the military order to retreat. However, Yun Hao did not see the messenger return, nor did he see the army return.

In the past two years, Yun Hao has tried to contact this army several times without success. Now Yun Hao wants to come and see what is going on here. If someone killed this thousand Tang troops, then who did it.

The army doesn't need to distinguish the direction, the corpse is the direction. Since the corpses have not been eaten by wolves and vultures, it proves that these corpses have not been dead for a long time. No more than a month at most!

The wolves of the wasteland are very greedy and very eaten, and usually they do not spare even their bones. All corpses will eventually turn into gray-white wolf dung. The title of the wasteland scavenger, absolutely competent!

The closer you get to Shang Mi City, the more corpses there are. Many of the bodies were even fairly intact, and the arrow wounds on their bodies were clearly recognizable.

"The scout has checked, and it was the damage caused by the Tang crossbow arrows. The arrow cluster dug up from the corpse is also our Datang's standard arrow cluster. Sheng Yanshi reported to Yun Haoyu.

The weapons and equipment of the Tang Dynasty army have long been produced in a standardized manner. Crossbow arrows are consumables that are products on the assembly line. Yun Hao didn't expect that after two years, the Datang army was still persistent.

"The striker is marching quickly, but I want to see who is attacking Shangmi City." Yun Hao glanced at the cluster of arrows and boarded the carriage.

The cavalry in the vanguard swept out like the wind. There are still more than fifty miles away from Shangmi City, and the cavalry is only half a day's journey at most.

There was smoke and dust in the sky under Shangmi City, and countless horse thieves were holding knives and climbing ladders. Ten miles away from the battlefield, the rumbling drums could be heard. Beneath the walls were countless black-clad fellows with long beards. With deep eyes and a high nose, you can tell that you are Arabs at a glance.

Yun Hao looked at these Arab turtles with some surprise, weren't they being eaten to death by the Persians now? Why did you make an appointment with the Great Food Empire and come to the Western Regions to make trouble?

Surprised to surprised, Tang Jun did not hesitate at all. The airships in the sky were the first to pounce, after a round of bombardment. Everywhere there were frightened horses scurrying around, and horse thieves running around without knowing the purpose.

Datang's bomb is much more powerful than the gunpowder of the big cannibal, and a fifty-pound bomb is thrown down. There were no living people in a place the size of half a basketball court, and there were no shrapnel injuries from the distance. He didn't even have the slightest wound on his body, but he died of bleeding from his mouth and nose.

These people were shocked to death, and the explosion would have created a huge shock wave. These shockwaves are deadly, even with the protection of armor. But the viscera had been shattered by the huge explosion, and it looked like there was no wound, but in fact, the death was extremely miserable.

In the face of a routed enemy, the cavalry of the Don Army, of course, knew what to do. After seeing those who were tied to poles and had their hearts and intestines drained all over the ground, the cavalry of the Tang Army knew even more what to do.

But the bravest was not the Tang people, but the 5,000 men and horses led by Xerxes. These 5,000 cavalrymen have a boxwood bow, and now they are issued with the standard arrows of the Tang Army, which is even more powerful! They have lived in the Western Regions all year round, and they have long practiced their riding and archery skills. Often, as soon as the bowstring sounds, an enemy falls to the ground or falls off his horse.

The arrow is no longer able to tolerate its essence!

There are even some perverted guys who specialize in shooting people's heads. The lethality of the arrows is indeed problematic in these years, if you wear armor. There are more than a dozen arrows, and there are still many people who are slashing and killing.

It's not the same if you hit the head, you get an arrow through the head. Even the strongest soldier will immediately fall to the ground, and there will be no combat strength at all.

Because they use bows and arrows, which is much higher than the crossbow rate of the Don army. So there were too many horse thieves killed by them, and Yun Hao was very glad that they were equipped with the Tang Army's standard crossbow arrows. And each person was served with as many as two pots!

As far as the eye could see, it was the Tang army chasing and killing horse thieves. Looking at the Tang character flag with black characters on a red background at the head of the city, fluttering with the wind hunting. Yun Hao's heart was hanging, and he put it down. It seems that he came in time. Otherwise, looking at this formation, Shangmi City will be breached in a day or two at most.

Seeing that so many reinforcements had come down from the city, the captain who was defending the city also rushed out excitedly and joined the army of pursuit. The gang was in tattered clothes and had big beards on their faces. If it weren't for the fact that they were wearing the standard armor of the Tang people, they would definitely be killed by Xerxes, who was red-eyed.

Yun Hao pursed his lips helplessly, this is all a problem caused by the military merit system. In order to snatch heads, these guys always sacrifice their lives and forget about death, and these heads are not human heads. It's real wealth, land, and proof of promotion. The job of cutting off people's heads in Datang is really the only shortcut to promotion and wealth.

The red-eyed Tang army chased out for more than 20 miles. The zombies lying on the ground are also twenty miles away. It looks like the wolves here won't be short of food for a while.

This time, very few horse thieves survived, and those who did survive were basically either stunned by the bomb or lying on the ground and pretending to be dead. After being discovered by the person who repaired the knife, he was brought back to the Tang army camp.

The guy in front of him named Guo Huai is actually Guo Xiaoke's nephew. This is a bit interesting, Guo Xiaoke didn't mention it to Lao Tzu, and he still has a nephew who is far away in the Western Regions. It is estimated that the Guo family also thought that this guy was dead.

"Duke Chu!" Seeing Yun Hao sitting in the carriage, Guo Huai said two words, tears poured out like spring water.

"Your hard days are over!" Yun Hao patted Guo Huai's dirty armor and said.

"Duke Chu, please allow your subordinates to mobilize a large army to kill people." Guo Huai said with a crying voice.

"Who are you going to kill?" Yun Hao asked suspiciously.

"All Hu people in the Yue's capital can be killed!" Guo Huai gritted his teeth and replied.

It is estimated that I was suffering from the beard pit here, and it was really difficult to survive for two years. Now that his army is back, he naturally wants to express his resentment in his heart!

"You take him with you!" Yun Hao pointed at Xerxes, thinking that it would be so simple to complete the petition, how could this be possible.

"No!" Xerxes followed the example of the Tang people and clenched his fists at Yun Hao. Then followed Guo Huai away!

A small army was sent into the city, and the large army was stationed outside the city. Guo Huai can hold on here for two years, and it is estimated that the people in the city can still be relied on.

But when he entered the city, Yunhao knew what was reliable. In the huge Shangmi City, there is only the existence of the Tang Army. All the people were driven out by Guo Huai's guy. It seems that the resistance of the people here to the Tang people is quite deep.

Two days later, Guo Huai returned. The smell of blood emanating from all over the body makes people dare not look at it directly.

"Looks like you're resentful!" Yun Hao shook his head helplessly.

"Chu Gong, you don't know, these Hu people are all brutes. Our soldiers went out on patrol, and they were gone. And the last general went out with his men to look for them, and they were all killed. Not only do they kill people, they also insult corpses. Later, when the prisoners were interrogated, they learned that they had cut off the crotch of the brothers and fed them to the dogs.

Several brothers were killed by dogs having their intestines pulled out alive. Have you seen the people under the city, they are all cut out alive and eaten in front of the general.

At the beginning, the last general was overwhelmed, but now that Duke Chu has led reinforcements to arrive. In the end, the general will definitely pay for the blood debt of those Hu people! ”

Yun Hao nodded in understanding, his subordinates were tortured and killed in front of him, which was indeed an insult to the main general. It seems that the person he sent to deliver the letter did not make it here at all.

"The army is stationed in Shangmi, and there are no people and animals left within a radius of three hundred miles!" Yun Hao gave an order, and Xerxes shuddered. I'm glad I made the right choice.
