Chapter 424 The Death of Aziz (3)
With a "click", Aziz broke the wooden pole of the arrow in his waist and threw it at a Tang Zhu who was rushing towards him. The Tang Zhu turned his head and let the arrow shaft pass, then waved his horizontal knife to chop Aziz's arm.
But as soon as he raised his head, he saw Aziz take out a cylindrical grenade from his shirt, and immediately turned around and escape in the opposite direction. The range of grenades was one or two meters long, and he didn't feel that he could kill him while Aziz threw the grenade out. Now Aziz is undoubtedly dead, and there is no need to bury the generals of the Great Food.
Not only him, but several other Tang soldiers who were about to rush over also stopped.
But Aziz did not throw out the grenades in his hand, but took this opportunity to turn around and escape into an irregular quadrilateral made of three piles of wood. Three of them were piles of wood and one side was empty, but this side was very narrow, and the entire entrance could be completely covered by the damage of the grenades.
"Aziz, if you want to surrender, surrender quickly, and you can still live. If you want to die, either say as soon as possible, we will throw a spear and kill you; or commit suicide quickly, don't delay." Li Bai's screams sounded from outside the pile of wood, still in big divine words.
At this time, Aziz was in a desperate situation. The dozen people who fled to the village wall with him had all died at the hands of the Tang army. The Tang army generals had no intention of leaving a few seriously injured people to interrogate, and they were all stabbed to death with one knife or a spear. Aziz himself also suffered a lot of injuries. The armor on his left arm and waist was smashed to pieces, and his legs were injured and he couldn't walk fast, so it was impossible to escape.
"Can you give me an hour to think about it?" Aziz thought for a while and shouted to the outside world.
"No! It's already dark, everyone has to kill the captive cattle and sheep and have a good meal! It's impossible to wait for you for so long." Li Bai said impatiently: "Don't think about delaying time."
"One hour is not enough, is it possible to ten minutes?"
"Ten minutes," Li Bai repeated softly, then changed Chinese and discussed with others.
"But just as everyone was discussing, Aziz's body had already relaxed, fell to the ground, put the grenade aside, leaned back against the pile of wood, and said softly: "You can discuss it slowly, I can take advantage of this opportunity to rest for a while. Maybe the time you discussed it will last more than ten minutes. I still fulfilled my request if you don't agree." As he said that, he even laughed in a low voice. But he quickly covered his mouth again, preventing the sound from being heard by people outside.
"Use this little time to look back on his life." He whispered to himself and then fell into deep thought.
The first thing he remembered was that a few days ago when a defeated soldier fled from the valley entrance. It was early in the morning and he was still sleeping. Suddenly someone woke him up. He woke up and saw that it was his own guard. He was about to ask what was wrong when he saw the guard panic saying that many defeated soldiers fled here, and these defeated soldiers said that the Gukou camp had been defeated.
At that time, Aziz, who was sleepy, immediately became very awake. He asked the guard twice to make sure that he was not talking nonsense. He immediately put on his coat to find the defeated soldiers. He found the middle and low-level generals mixed with the defeated soldiers, asked carefully, and confirmed that the Gukou camp had been defeated, the army had been completely defeated, and the whereabouts of the governor were unknown.
Hearing this, Aziz was very anxious at the time. While ordering the generals to place the defeated troops, he would lead the remaining cavalry in the camp to the east to find the governor and Bosilin.
But he was immediately stopped by the guards. The guards held his legs and said, "General, you can't leave the barracks! If the general is not in the barracks, then the Qin army suddenly launched an attack on the barracks, and it was impossible to defend them. Even if the enemy only had one or two thousand people, it would be impossible to defend them with this panic atmosphere.
I don’t know whether the soldiers stationed on the south bank of the Yili River have successfully escaped. If not, the 10,000 people here are the only established army in Central Asia with a population of more than 2,000. They must not be defeated by the Qin army, and the governor will definitely not be willing to see it.
And you don't know which road the governor escaped from, whether it was land or water on the north shore, or the south shore. You may not be able to welcome the governor.
Since it is very likely that we will not be able to welcome it, then staying in the military camp and ensuring that 10,000 people are not defeated by Qin's army is the most important thing to do."
"Yes, General Aziz, I think even the governor would rather the general stay in the military camp and wait for him to retreat here." The commanders who rushed over after hearing the news also advised.
Hearing everyone's persuasion, Aziz finally gave up his plan to lead the troops to greet him, and instead stayed in the barracks to place the defeated troops; in case of precautions, two thousand people were arranged to garrison the river to guard the pier.
In the afternoon, Bersilin fled to this military camp. After he came to the tent, he drank a cup of hot water and praised Aziz for his actions and issued an order to him: "Aziz, after the defeat of Gukou, our army could no longer occupy Anxi, Qin Naguo. You also understand this, you must withdraw from the occupied places.
But I cannot withdraw immediately, I must withdraw gradually; and I also have to lead my troops back to Hezhong area to garrison, and Hezhong area cannot be thrown to the Qin people at will.
So I will transfer five thousand soldiers from your barracks and some of the cavalry that have barely recovered their organization to the river; and you will continue to lead the other five thousand people to stay here to gather the defeated soldiers, and try to block the Qin army that is chasing for a while."
When Bingbo Silin said this, he was very nervous. He knew that the soldiers stationed on the South Bank at that time immediately withdrew after seeing the North Bank incident. The Tang army attacked the South Bank was late the next morning, and the South Bank army also completely withdrew.
But that army had only 5,000 people in total, far less than Aziz's command. Half of the entire army east of Khorasan was in the hands of Aziz. If he had other ideas and refused to fight, his fate would be very miserable; because of the two consecutive defeats, Bercelin's prestige might not be very useful.
But Aziz immediately agreed to all the requests of Bingbosilin, pointed out five thousand-man commanders in person, and handed the five thousand-man teams to the governor.
Bingbo Silin immediately became very happy and praised repeatedly. Hearing the praise, Aziz agreed with joy.
After saying the praises, Bingbo Silin did not waste his time. He hurriedly ate some dry food and took more than 5,000 people away from here and crossed the river toward the direction of Suiye Town. Before leaving, he told him again that he would stay for at least five days, and Aziz also agreed repeatedly.
‘But I failed to fulfill my promise to the Governor. After he left for only two days, he actually lost the military camp after only two hours of the Qin army's attack and ended with a crushing defeat. I am sorry to the Governor.
Before leaving, the governor told me to try my best to survive, even if I was captured by the Qin man, and if the Qin man did not kill the captured generals, I would still have the possibility of returning to the Great Food Kingdom when I switched prisoners after the truce.
But I failed to fulfill my promise to the governor and escape from the military camp. How could I have the face to survive as a prisoner of the Qin man and return to the Great Food Kingdom in the future? No, I must not be a prisoner. Even if I cannot leave alive, I cannot be a prisoner!’ Aziz thought again in his heart, repeating his already firm belief.
"Aziz, after discussion, we will not agree to give you another ten minutes of thinking time." At this time, Li Bai's shouts sounded from outside the pile of wood.
Hearing this, Aziz came to his senses. Although he had thought of countless situations in his mind, in fact, only one minute passed, his arms and legs were still very tired, and the blood from the injured area was still flowing downwards drop by drop.
'It seems that the man Qin saw through the idea that I just wanted to delay time and had no intention of surrendering.' He thought in his heart again. While thinking, he had no intention of talking again. He picked up the grenade with his left hand, looked at the entrance from time to time, and looked at the top of the wooden pile. If the Tang army threw a spear and killed him, he would throw the grenade in the direction where the spear flew; if he attacked from the entrance, he would throw the grenade out of the entrance.
But he waited for a while, but did not hear Li Bai talking again, nor was he attacked. He even could not hear any sound except his own breathing.
Aziz knew that this was a way for Tang army to relax his attention. When his attention was distracted, the Tang Zhu would launch an attack. But although he knew, because his body was already very tired, his left arm was trembling after holding the grenade for a long time, and his brain began to distract himself.
At this moment, a dozen people suddenly appeared from outside the entrance, all aiming at him with arrows. Aziz hurriedly came to his senses and wanted to throw out the grenade, but just as soon as his left arm moved, two arrows had already shot through his forearm, and the grenade couldn't help but fall and fell on his chest.
More than a dozen Tang soldiers immediately lay down to avoid the iron sheets of grenades flying, but they waited for a while but did not hear any explosions.
"Hahaha!" Aziz suddenly laughed and said while laughing: "It turned out to be a mute. And this mute scared you so much that you didn't dare to attack for a long time, and you still had to use tricks." In order to make the Tang army soldiers understand, he used Chinese dialect.
"I'm also out of caution. After all, you are the only one left to live. It's not worth it to kill you and have soldiers killed or injured, right?" At this time, an old man in 50s and wearing fine armor also appeared at the entrance.
"You are Li Bai?"
"That's right." Li Bai nodded.
"It's the first time today that I've seen your appearance after confronting you for so long." Aziz smiled. He happened to carry the moon on his back, and Li Bai was facing the moonlight, so he could see Li Bai's appearance clearly.
"Do you want to see my appearance?" he said again.
"No need, after you become a corpse in a while, I want to know that your appearance is not easy, so why take the risk at this time?"
"That's right." Aziz nodded and asked again, "Then why haven't you ordered the soldiers to kill my spear?"
"I suddenly have another question to ask you: What are you thinking before you die? Did you let down Bingbo Silin's entrustment, or do you miss your family, or are you happy to be able to go to heaven?" Li Bai said.
After all, Li Bai was a great poet, and a passionate and sensitive poet. He might have no time to starve to death at any time before, of course he had no time to think about these "useless"; but the most difficult time had passed, and he no longer had to worry about whether he would starve to death, and the enemy on the opposite side had no ability to hurt him anymore, the literary youth of the Qinglian layman broke out again, and he wanted to know what a great general was thinking about before he died.
‘I was thinking about how to fuck your mother.’ When he heard Li Bai’s question, Aziz wanted to say this sentence at the first time. According to the tradition of Tianfang region and Islan, he did not regard the relationship between his mother and a man other than his father as a serious matter, but he knew that this sentence was very lethal to the Han people among the Tang people, so he wanted to use this sentence to scold Li Bai.
But he was about to say it, but suddenly he felt that it would be meaningless to scold his opponent before he died. Moreover, if Li Bai was so angry that he decided to torture him for a while before he died, it would be bad for him, so he changed his mind and planned to say whatever he wanted to get rid of the problem.
He was thinking about what to say, but suddenly he thought of something and laughed again.
"Why are you laughing?" Li Bai asked immediately.
"I was thinking, don't swear, don't send any vows." Aziz said with a smile: "Just after I learned that you killed the messengers I sent to the city to persuade the surrender, and ate their flesh, I once vowed to avenge them, and if I couldn't take revenge, I would die under the city.
As expected, I did not take revenge and died at the city. The oath was really accurate. If I could live again in some form on earth, I would never swear again."
"Are you thinking about this before you die?" Li Bai asked in confusion.
"No? Can't I think about this before I die?" Aziz still smiled and asked back.
"It seems that there is a little reason." Li Bai nodded and asked again: "Do you have any last words? If so, we can convey it back by telling a prisoner and then placing the prisoner on the other side of the river."
Hearing this sentence, Aziz lowered his head and was silent for a while, raised his head and said, "No, I have no last words."
"real?"
"real."
"Since that's the case," Li Bai took a few steps back and pointed at Aziz. The two soldiers immediately walked towards Aziz with spears in their hands, trying to stab him to death.
Before his death, Aziz seemed to want to struggle. He picked up a scimitar with his right hand and supported himself with his left hand to stand up. His lips squirmed a few times and seemed to want to speak again. But he had just stood up straight and two spears had stabbed into his chest from left and right at the same time.
"Governor, I've let it go..." Aziz said a few words with a slightest voice, but before he finished speaking, he fell to the ground and died.
