Water Margin people

Chapter 1596 Gold and Silver

"Kill!"

A group of foreign troops rushed into the city impatiently.

The Qi army entered the city in batches, and half of the army stayed outside the city to guard the gate, trying their best to ensure that no one could escape.

The shouts and cries of killing were deafening in the city. The foreign troops and the black-clad Arabs were fighting each other. Although the black-clad Arabs were brave, they were a little dizzy from the black smoke and a little dazed by the explosion. The city was also broken. Under the combined influence of multiple factors, they had lost all will to fight and only wanted to escape.

The foreign troops didn't care about that. Anyone wearing a black robe and a black cloth was identified as a Black Arab and would be killed.

The remaining city gates were attacked and the black-clad Arabs tried to break through.

But the Qi army had already been stationed outside the city, and anyone who left was strangled.

The massacre continued until dark, and the scattered Arabs in black ran into civilian houses to hide and resist.

The Qi army had no intention of letting these people go, and ordered the foreign troops to search the city and kill anyone who refused.

"I want to see some generals!"

Sanjar slapped the cage and roared.

"What? Going into the city? Want to die?"

Ou Peng rode over and looked at Sanjar and said contemptuously.

"General, I want to make a deal with you!"

Sanjar looked at Ou Peng and said.

"Don't worry, you won't survive!"

Ou Peng looked at Sanjar and said, now that Isfahan has been conquered, Sanjar has no right to negotiate.

"No, I'm not asking for forgiveness, but I want to use my Seljuk Turk treasure in exchange for the chance to kill Saji myself!"

Sanjar looked at Ou Peng and spoke.

"Treasure?"

Ou Peng narrowed his eyes and looked at Sanjar.

"General, the treasury in the city is not all the treasures of our Seljuk Turks. We have hidden the real treasures in the secret vault."

Sanjar spoke up.

"Okay, I can promise you!"

Ou Peng agreed immediately. Saji was going to die for sure, and using his life in exchange for a treasure was not a loss in any way.

Lin Chong had already led his army to the imperial palace in the city, and all the officials and nobles had already knelt on the ground in surrender.

"Is there a population list in the city?"

Lin Chong asked as he looked at the kneeling officials.

"No...no!"

An official stammered and said that although Isfahan was the capital, its management had always been loose and there was a lot of population mobility, so the population had never been counted.

Lin Chong snorted coldly. The capital of a country didn’t even have a population list, which showed how stupid these foreigners were.

"Take them all away and lock them up!"

Lin Chong waved his hand and gave an order, saying that the war was not over yet and now was not the best time to interrogate these people.

"General Lin, the bandit chief is resisting near the treasure house!"

A soldier came to report.

"go!"

Lin Chong led his men over there.

At this time, Saji and his personal guards were guarding outside the treasury, holding a torch in his hand. "If you dare to come over, I will set the treasury on fire and you will get nothing!"

Sage yelled.

The Qi army had no intention of negotiating and continued to advance.

"Why do you foreigners always do such stupid things? You think you are stupid, so we are as stupid as you? Can you light those gold, silver and jewelry? Will they be burned by the flames?"

Du Fu looked at Saji coldly and spoke. He really doubted whether the aliens' brains were not fully developed. Holding a torch and saying that they wanted to burn the gold and silver, what kind of stupid person could say such a thing.

Saji's face changed drastically. Looking at the gold and silver under his feet, and then at the torch in his hand, he also realized the problem.

"kill!"

At Du Fu's command, the army rushed forward, giving the black-clad Arabs no time to react.

In a short while, those Arabs in black were all killed. These people had no decent armor, their weapons were just scimitars, and they knew nothing about the art of fighting. They had no chance of winning against the elite Qi army.

Saji was brought up. This guy was still afraid of death. Seeing that the situation was hopeless, he could only surrender with weapons.

When the sky brightened again, the battle in Isfahan was over.

When the smoke cleared, the civilians who had been hiding at home and dared not go out were in a dilemma. They were a little afraid and worried about being killed, but they did not dare to resist.

But what awaited them was just registration, and they were told that only the Imperial Religion of Qi was allowed in this land. Many people strongly opposed this, expressing their loyalty to their beliefs and their determination not to change.

The army's approach was simple: believers lived, non-believers died. The efficient massacre began, and it happened in front of everyone.

"Who else!"

After slaughtering thousands of people, Mahmud shouted at the terrified civilians that this was how the Arabs preached and he was just imitating them.

There were a few older people who still insisted on their beliefs, but Mahmud immediately ordered them to be beheaded without mercy.

"These foreigners are very enthusiastic about preaching!"

Tang Bin looked at everything in front of him and said, because they had no faith, the only person they believed in was Emperor Sun Lei, and they were not very interested in missionary work, but these foreign troops were very active, and missionary work was always their top priority along the way.

"They have already believed in the Imperial Religion of Qi. They have no way out. If they don't preach, they will be killed by the Arabs sooner or later. Rather than being killed themselves, why not kill everyone else?"

Wang Jin said that most of these foreign troops used to believe in the Arab religion, but now they have changed their faith, which is unforgivable in religion.

After massacring tens of thousands of people, the civilians finally surrendered, kneeling down and begging for mercy, willing to join the Imperial Cult. Faced with life and death, they finally made a choice.

Sanjar’s prison van was brought over and Sajid was also brought over.

The two were on the square.

Looking at the dead bodies on the ground, Saji's face turned pale. Only then did he realize how terrifying the Qi State was. Unlike the Tang army that had once invaded this land, the Qi army did not shy away from killing.

Sanjar didn't care about the dead bodies on the ground. In his eyes, these people were traitors. It was because of these people that the Black Arabs were able to enter the city smoothly and his entire family was killed.

"Sanjar!"

Saji looked at Sanjar in the prison car in front of him, and his face changed several times. Sanjar's eyes were red and flashing with ferocity, as if he was going to tear him to pieces.

"Saji, I'm going to kill you!"

Sanjar roared.

The cage was opened and Sanjar jumped out directly. Ou Peng threw a scimitar to him and Sanjar immediately reached out to take it.

Sanjar, who got the machete, rushed towards Saji. The unarmed Saji was frightened and turned around to run.

But Sanjar had already rushed forward and swung his scimitar to chop Saji on the back.

Saji screamed, but then the scimitar stabbed into Saji's chest, the scimitar went through his body, and Saji vomited blood.

Sanjar was not satisfied. He drew back his scimitar and chopped wildly until Saji was chopped into a bloody mess.

All of this was seen by the civilians present. Seeing how cruel the former Sultan was, they all lowered their heads, not daring to watch.
