Zhang Manzi (張蠻子) was a Tang soldier who served in the 15th Squad of the Anxi Protectorate 7th Army, an elite crossbowmen unit. His squad was led by Zhang Huaigu,[1] and they fought at the Battle of Talas in 751[2] with the rest of the Tang forces under General Gao Xianzhi's command.[1] There, they suffered a crushing defeat at the hands of the Abbasids led by Ziyad ibn Salih.[2]
