Chapter 460 Today, I will die for my country! To atone for my sins!
Hu Dake tilted his head slightly, his eyes meeting Liu Tong's. Just one look conveyed a tacit understanding that only they could understand.
Decades of fighting side by side, sharing life and death, have long since bound their souls closely together.
As the group of uninvited guests got closer, Hu Dake could see their attire clearly - they were the famous black-clad Arab cavalry.
Despite facing hundreds of well-equipped and aggressive enemies, there was not a trace of fear in Hu Dake's eyes, but rather great anticipation.
Anurchi rode on a tall warhorse, looking majestically at the two veteran Tang Dynasty soldiers in front of him.
In his eyes, Hu Dake and Liu Tong exuded a unique tenacity, which aroused a strong desire to conquer deep in his heart.
Anurchi has always been interested in such tough opponents, because in his opinion, only by conquering these tenacious opponents can he truly demonstrate his own strength.
Just as Anurchi was about to open his mouth to provoke, Hu Dake took the lead. His voice echoed in the desert: "The Tang Dynasty has forbidden passage ahead. Violators will be killed!"
In fact, Hu Dake knew very well that these people from faraway Arabia would most likely not understand his warning.
But when his eyes fell on the other party's sophisticated equipment, his expression instantly became solemn.
Years of experience in campaigning across the country taught him that this equipment alone could reveal the country's immense strength. As far as he could remember, aside from the Tang Dynasty, few rivals possessed such sophisticated armaments.
To Hu Dake's surprise, Anurchi actually responded in fluent Tang Dynasty Mandarin: "Tang, is it so great? Can it be greater than us Arabs?"
"I heard that you Tang people are all very arrogant. I'm going to lead my troops there now. What can you two old men do to me?"
Anurchi's words were full of contempt, and he looked down at Hu Dake and Liu Tong from a high position.
Hearing Anurchi's fluent Tang Dynasty dialect, Hu Dake immediately put on a humble and submissive expression and said, "So it's Arabia? I've long heard that Arabia is vast and famous, and your cavalry is invincible, roaming the battlefield without an enemy. In that case, we are willing to surrender!"
Looking at the humble expression on Hu Dake's face, Anurchi couldn't help but burst out laughing.
I heard from the envoys that the Tang people have always been known for their toughness, but now these two people were frightened so much by just a few harsh words. It seems that the so-called strength of the Tang Dynasty is really just as I guessed, and it is just a facade.
He was secretly proud in his heart, thinking that the vast territory of the Tang Dynasty would soon surrender under the trampling of his iron cavalry.
Anurchi suppressed his inner excitement, looked at Hu Dake and Liu Tong, and asked arrogantly: "Are you soldiers of the Tang Dynasty? How many people do you have stationed in this land?"
Liu Tong hurriedly stepped forward, clasped his hands respectfully, and replied with a flattering smile, "Your Excellency, General, we don't have many men here, so we can easily deal with them."
"The combined population of the previous cities is only a few hundred, and they are all brothers I know well."
"Then I will go and persuade them to surrender directly. General, you can easily capture those cities without losing a single soldier!"
After hearing this, Anurchi laughed heartily with satisfaction. He pointed at Liu Tong and said, "You're not bad! You know what's going on!"
When Liu Tong heard Anurchi's praise, the flattery on his face became even stronger. He then asked, "General, you are so brave and powerful. You must be a high-ranking official in Arabia, right?"
Anurchi nodded slightly and said impatiently: "Just mind your own business. Don't ask questions that you shouldn't ask. Lead me well and make amends for your sins. Maybe I can even spare your lives!"
In fact, Anurchi's status in Arabia is extremely respected, just like the Tang Dynasty's god of war Li Jing. He is a military commander respected by everyone, with heavy troops under his command and a great reputation.
At this moment, Hu Dake and Liu Tong, who had been keeping their heads down, suddenly raised their heads, with a gleam of determination to die in their eyes.
Found it. This is the big fish in front of me. It is definitely a leader. It is worth taking it away.
Almost at the same moment, the two men quickly drew out the muskets they had prepared long ago from their waists, aimed at Anurchi without hesitation, and pulled the trigger.
With two sounds, Anurchi fell heavily to the ground.
The Arab cavalry behind him were stunned by this sudden change. Before they could react to what had happened, everything was over.
Looking at Anurchi, who was shot in the face and could not be deader, Hu Dake and Liu Tong burst into hearty laughter.
The laughter was filled with pride, piercing the desert sky.
The two men threw away their muskets, raised their spears high, and roared in unison: "You bastards! How dare you invade the Tang Dynasty? Kill! Kill! Kill!"
Then, they charged towards the hundred black-clad Arab cavalry without hesitation.
Although the black-clad Arab cavalry, wearing armor and riding tall warhorses, had an absolute advantage, Hu Dake and Liu Tong were not afraid and did not retreat.
Relying on the rich experience accumulated from years of fighting and their tacit cooperation, they burst out with amazing fighting power at this critical moment of life and death.
The two men worked together and tried their best to knock a cavalryman off his horse unexpectedly.
The surrounding Arab cavalry quickly recovered from their shock.
At this critical moment, Hu Dake and Liu Tong seized the opportunity, and their two long spears stabbed at the cavalry on the ground with the force of breaking through the wind.
At the same time, dozens of spears pierced their bodies mercilessly.
But even so, they still had smiles on their faces and satisfaction in their eyes.
Because their spears had successfully pierced the enemy's throat, dealing a fatal blow.
Two against a hundred.
Infantry and cavalry.
The casualties were two to two.
It’s not a loss. I can exchange one for one before dying, especially since there is a main general.
I just don’t know if the status is good or not, it would be a shame if it’s not high!
The two of them slowly raised their heads and looked at each other.
There was no fear in their eyes, only relief and liberation.
Mr. Cui, we didn’t embarrass you, did we?
At the last moment of their lives, they used up all their remaining strength and shouted: "Long live the Tang Dynasty!"
They deeply love the land where they were born and raised.
"There is no sin that cannot be washed away by martyrdom for one's country."
From this moment on, they can finally say with confidence that they are not guilty.
They defended the glory of the Tang Dynasty with their lives.
After all, I had to give up my old bones.
They thought that in the future, their family would no longer have to worry about being criticized by neighbors.
I can now hold my head up high and live a dignified life.
Both of them closed their eyes with smiles on their faces.
Today! I will sacrifice my life for my country!
In order to wash away the crime of treason!
