Chapter 1370: Heart to the Tang Dynasty

The night passed in a panic, and until noon the next day, reinforcements had not arrived. This is an extremely abnormal phenomenon, Khazar has not reported any luck, knowing that at this time it is a critical moment of life and death, he summoned all his subordinates to discuss the final countermeasures.

Everyone unanimously decided that if they could hold out until sunset, they would break through after dark, and one more would be counted as one more.

If the reinforcements are ambushed and sniped halfway, then the fall of Elam City will be sooner or later, and the loss of the last place of foundation is equivalent to the loss of the last chance.

Khazar nodded tearfully, the turn came so quickly that he still had the illusion of being in a dream.

"Break through as soon as possible, the reason why the Praetorian Guard is only besieging and not attacking now should be to send the main force to deal with reinforcements, once they free up, even if we become eagles and falcons in the sky, I'm afraid we won't be able to escape!"

At this moment, the last bit of fighting spirit of Qajar has been smoothed, and the fate he will face has become a luxury even praying for an ordinary life.

Before it got dark, signs of soldiers fleeing were already beginning to appear, and some simply threw down their weapons and surrendered to the Praetorian Guards in the oasis.

Soldiers can surrender, but Khazar cannot. He knew that once he fell into the hands of Mansur, he would be tortured and punished in the most cruel and bloody way.

Therefore, he would rather die in battle or commit suicide.

Seeing that he could not hold out until dark, Khazar issued a dismissal order to his generals, allowing them to break out on their own.

A commander named Ali pounded his chest with his fist and said:

"Who has ever seen a hound leave his master and run for his life alone? If you want to go together, if you want to die, you will die together, there is nothing to be afraid of!"

His words were echoed by the rest, and Khazar was thrilled, and only when he was in a desperate situation, he could only have this experience.

"Since none of you want to escape alone, let's gamble again and follow everyone to break through!"

In the meantime, it was suggested that Khazar take off his noble black robe and put on the same cloth robe as an ordinary soldier.

Kazar thinks about it, this robe is too conspicuous, as long as he goes out, he will definitely be targeted.

Not only that, but another commander also took the initiative to put the robe that Khazar had changed into on his body.

Everyone understood his intentions, and they didn't say anything in their mouths, but they knew in their hearts that this farewell should be a permanent secret.

Khazar mixed in with the deserters and fled from the barracks under the protection of a dozen cronies.

In fact, the Praetorian Guards outside were the same as before, and the reason why they only besieged but did not attack was because of the lack of troops, and they were really attracted by the fake Khazar and pursued them all the way. This gave Khazar a chance to escape.

After escaping the oasis, there were less than fifty people left with Khazar.

Unwilling, he rushed to Elam overnight, and saw many defeated soldiers along the way, only to learn that the reinforcements led by his eldest son had collapsed before they could leave the division, and the general Muhammad launched a rebellion and killed it together with the Janissaries, and hundreds of men, women, and children of his family were killed without exception.

At this time, the city of Elam was already under the direct control of the court of Ctesiphon.

Hearing the bad news, Khazar could no longer hold on, a mouthful of old blood spurted out, and he fainted instantly.

The fall of Elam was already expected, but he did not dare to imagine that the children of the family would be killed together, and now that Ctesiphon's wives and sons were dead, and the wives and sons of Elam, it was tantamount to cutting off all hope of his life.

After waking up, Khazar's eyes were glazed, like a walking corpse, and he didn't say a word.

The generals were anxious and reminded Qajar that before he was called to Ctesiphon, he had sent his two unliked sons to the mosque in Fars.

It's called learning, but it's actually just the same as exile.

Although he was not liked back then, it was the blood of Khazar after all, and if he could take it back and cultivate it carefully, he would still have a chance to revive and cheer up.

In this way, Khazar was like a man who had caught a life-saving straw, and miraculously cheered up his spirits, gathered the rout along the way, and in a day or two, he actually gathered one or two thousand routs.

These people are loyal to the Qajar family, and they will face the fate of being liquidated when they go back, so they naturally stay by Qajar's side.

Although he had gathered some men, Khazar knew that he no longer had the strength to retake the city of Elam, so it was better to move closer to the province of Fars in the east in order to avoid being pursued by the Praetorian Guard.

Fortunately, after the fall of Elam, the Praetorian Guards seemed to have lost interest in continuing to pursue Khazar, as long as a small number of soldiers and horses appeared behind them from time to time, but this did not pose a mortal threat.

A few days later, the remnants of Qajar arrived at the border of Fars province, but at the same time received news that shocked everyone.

The Tang occupation of Boselis led directly or indirectly to the secession of the entire province of Fars from the Empire.

The Persians, who made up the majority, were even more vocal in their support for the Tang people, and mosques in many places were destroyed by the rantic Persians.

At this time, Khazar was dumbfounded, and the possibility of finding a foothold in Fars seemed impossible now.

The Persians have always regarded the Great Cannibal as an enemy, and if they stayed, they would not end much better than if they fell into the hands of Mansour.

A subordinate general suggested to Khazar that there was really no way to take refuge in the Tang people, who would be happy to accept him.

"Take refuge in the Tang people?"

Khazar's eyes widened in surprise, he had never thought of such a possibility, and the Tang people had always been a distant and vague symbol to him.

But if you think about it carefully, you are now desperate, and if the Tang people can accept themselves, it may not be a good way to survive.

Moreover, when the Tang people first arrived, they must have been eager to get the support of the local big family, and Khazar had the aura of the Abbasid family, so I really couldn't think of a reason for the Tang people to refuse.

"I heard that Abbas's nephew became a general in the Tang and a governor in India, with His Highness's origin and prestige, he will definitely not be worse than Abbas!"

"Didn't Abbas's nephew become a prisoner of the Tang with Abbas, and when, when did he become the governor of India?"

Another commander said:

"It's true that Abbas's nephew was reused by the Tang people to lead troops to attack India, but it seems that he was not appointed as a governor by the Tang people......

The generals were talking about each word, and Khazar was thrilled to hear it.

"Okay, let's go and vote for the Tang people, and we have to take back Eland City for us!"
