The three of them divided up to prepare, and when it was more than three days in the night, Haqibharatsa, together with his cronies, led 10,000 men and horses from his headquarters to rush out of the gate of Sophihana and gallop towards the city of Kuyu.

However, the Mongol cavalry soon caught up and surrounded them, and under the threat of the broadsword, Hajbharatsa had to surrender, and the nearly 10,000 soldiers were taken prisoner.

As soon as he saw these two princes, he hurriedly knelt down and begged for mercy: "As long as I don't die, I will surrender and be willing to serve Genghis Khan for the rest of my life." ”

Chagatai said to him, "If you want to live, you must take the initiative to tell the truth, and you should tell us the truth about the situation in the city." ”

So Haqibharatsa told the war-weariness of the defenders of the city one by one, and said bad things about Yinalshu: "He was very isolated among the defenders of the city, and few generals listened to his command, and even hated him, and the common people hated him even more, and they all said that he had provoked all this war." ”

Ogedai interjected, "According to your meaning, can we attack the city? There won't be much resistance, will it?"

Haqib Haratcha volunteered: "If the army is attacking the city, I am willing to be the vanguard." ”

Wo Kotai immediately sneered: "No need, we will not use you for a person like you who is ungrateful and untrustworthy." ”

When Haqibharata heard this, he hurriedly knelt down and prostrated again, begging to be taken in, and repeatedly confessing his willingness to serve the Mongols. Ogedai said to him, "You are not faithful to your master, and although he demands your allegiance from him because of past favors, we cannot count on your allegiance." ”

In order to maintain the relationship between sovereignty and the relationship between monarchs and ministers, Chagatai and Ogedai ordered that all these people who wavered and betrayed and were ungrateful should be killed.

The next day, Chagatai and Ogedei issued an order to attack the city, and the Mongol soldiers and horses immediately launched a full-scale siege of the city, because the main general of the city's defense, Haqibu Haratsa, had already been killed, and the defenders of the city were leaderless, how could they withstand the Mongols' strong attack?

Chagatai gave an order to the whole army: "Act quickly and gather all the goods in the city." ”

In fact, it was to instigate the Mongol army to enter the city and loot on a large scale, killing all those who did not leave the city, regardless of the old, weak, women and children. At this time, knowing that he had no hope of being forgiven, he led nearly 10,000 remnants of his army to retreat to the inner fort of the city and resist to the death.

He led the remnants of the enemy to use street fighting and barricade fighting, which lasted for more than ten days, and nearly 10,000 defenders were almost killed and wounded, and the Mongols suffered heavy losses. In the end, when he was besieged on all sides, only two soldiers remained, and he still insisted on resisting, and he went into a roof and a tower to defend it.

The Mongol soldiers, in order to capture him alive, could not cut him with arrows and swords, so they risked their lives to burrow into the tower, and killed the two soldiers, and then climbed to the tower beam, and although he had no weapons left, he removed the bricks from the wall and threw them downwards until the bricks were exhausted, and he was still unwilling to bow down.

At this time, the Mongol soldiers swarmed him, captured him alive, tied him strongly, tied him with heavy iron chains, and escorted him to Genghis Khan's camp, where he was personally disposed of. Genghis Khan ordered melted gold and silver to be poured into his mouth, eyes, and ears as a punishment for the greedy man, and finally avenged the 450 Mongol envoys and merchants who had died under the greedy butcher's knife of the Chinal art.

The three corps of Genghis Khan's First Route Army each completed the task of conquest, reached the predetermined battle goal, and achieved a great victory. The supreme commander of the Mongolian army, while rejoicing, immediately sent people to commend and encourage the generals of the three corps, asking them to rest and recuperate in their garrisons, and to prepare for more arduous combat tasks.

In order to achieve the strategic intent, achieve the goal of occupying Samarkand, and finally complete the war plan to destroy the country of Khorezm, Genghis Khan gently raised the baton in the hand of his magician, and used a strategy to attack the east and west, and ordered his second army, the army of the general Jebe, to quickly advance to the upper reaches of the Amu Darya River in the south of Khorezm, and launch a powerful feint to bluff the momentum of the Mongol army.

This was a surprise military operation, and Mohammad immediately fell for it, and he immediately concluded that Jebe's army was the main force of Genghis Khan. At the same time, Mohammad received constant reports of urgent battles from the south, which made him even more convinced, and said to his men: "The danger does not come from the border towns in the north, but from the south, and this army must be the main force of the Mongol army, and if it is not intercepted in time, it will be infinitely harmful." ”

In Mohammad's view, Jebe's army, which was the main force of the Mongol army, was likely to cut off its connection with Afghanistan and Khorasan, the bases for the construction of the new army and the bases for strategic resources, because of its offensive. So he hurriedly sent out the strategic reserve to deal with Jebe's feint troops, to relieve what he subjectively thought was the key point.

Under these circumstances, Genghis Khan was very satisfied with the cooperation of Mohammad, and when he saw that he had driven the strategic reserve to the south, and that he had won a brilliant victory in the Syr Darya River valley by the first armies of Jochi, Chagatai and Ogedei, and Arahe, he was pleased to see that his strategic intention would soon be fully realized.

Genghis Khan has always been good at seizing opportunities, how could he not see the excellent situation in front of him? He immediately led his third army with his young son Tulei, that is, the main force of the central army of the Mongol army, from the north in a roundabout way, acting covertly, with lightning speed, crossing the Syr Darya River, going through hardships and dangers, passing through the red desert of nearly a thousand miles, and unexpectedly appearing behind Mohammad, advancing towards Buhuara.

In this way, the communication channel between the old and new capitals of Khwarazm was cut off, and Mohammad finally found himself deceived, and he complained bitterly in his heart: "My capital Samarkan is surrounded on all sides by the Mongol army, and my kingdom of Khorezm is in danger. ”

So the once invincible king, in order to survive, in order to make another move, he actually gave up his command, left Samarkand, and fled south in a panic......

Genghis Khan and his youngest son Tuo Lei led the main force of the Chinese army of Mongolian soldiers and horses, along the east bank of the Syr Darya River, first to the city of Weernehei. Don't look at the city of Nehei is not big, but it is an ancient castle, especially since it is on the main road from the city of Sadhara to Bukhara, Samarkan.

Its lord was named Sidélümao, who had difficulty moving because he had broken his leg in a hunting trip, and spent his days in and out of a small cart, and his wife Popovva was in charge of most of the city's affairs. Since the Mongol army captured the city of Ratara, the news reached the city of Nehei, causing a panic.

On this day, the husband and wife were discussing this matter in the palace, when suddenly a soldier came in and reported: "The envoy sent by the Mongol army has arrived outside the palace and asks to see each other." ”

Sidai Lumao immediately looked at his wife Popova and said, "Let him come in and talk." ”

After a while, the Mongol envoy came, and he introduced himself: "I am the envoy sent by Genghis Khan of the Mongol Empire, and I would like to discuss with the lord of the city the question of the future of our city. ”

As soon as the envoy finished speaking, there was a commotion outside the palace gate. As soon as the soldiers heard that the Mongol envoys had come to persuade them to surrender, they immediately disagreed, and those who advocated persisting in resistance proposed that the Mongol envoys should be killed, and those who advocated annexing to the Mongols stood up to stop them.

At this time, the Mongol envoy replied, "They have made a fuss because I have come, so let me go and say a few words to them." ”

Siderilu was worried that someone would take advantage of the opportunity to harm the messenger, but his wife Popovva said: "It's okay, let me accompany the messenger to see who dares to do what?"

Facing the soldiers and residents, Popovva said loudly: "I can understand everyone's concern about the future of our city, but we must be practical and rational, not emotional, and now I invite the Mongolian envoy to speak to you." ”

"I was born into a family of Muslims, I am also a Muslim, and for the sake of Allah, I have sent an envoy to you on the orders of Genghis Khan to save you from the abyss of destruction and the river of blood. If you try to resist him, within an hour your cities will be razed to the ground, and your fields will be a sea of blood. If you can follow my advice and counsel and obey the instructions of the Great Khan, your lives and property will be protected. ”

After listening to the words of the barbarian Ha Zhibu, the capitulators were very satisfied, and felt that the words of the envoy were sincere and for their sake. In the face of tens of thousands of troops led by Genghis Khan himself, the resistance of a few people alone will not help. Taking advantage of the situation, Popovova also said: "Blocking the passage of the Mongols does not stop the flood, and the strength of their legs does not reduce or stop the shaking of the mountains. Therefore, it is good for us to choose peace, it is good to accept advice, and it is decisive to resist and there is no good end. ”

So the mood of the opposition was also eased, and then the Tafu Manhazhib advised Sidhir to go and meet Genghis Khan, and Popovova looked at her husband and said: "The lord of the city is unable to move, how can he go?

Seeing that the lady of the city lord was not only slender and beautiful, elegant and generous, but also shrewd and capable, and neat in her work, she volunteered to go, which was really gratifying and respectable. However, he saw that the city lord was a little hesitant, so he said casually: "Please rest assured, the city lord, the lady went to the court to see the Great Khan, it is a good thing, no one will hurt her, everything will be taken care of by me." ”

Xidai Lu Mao had no choice but to agree, and asked with a wry smile: "Everything must be cautious and careful, and don't do anything rude." ”

The husband knew that Popovva was impulsive, and he was worried that she would be emotional and do deviant things, so he repeatedly told her. So Popovva, with a rich gift, went out of the city to the Mongol camp with the Tabaran Hajib, and Genghis Khan immediately received her.
