Chapter 693: Defeat on all fronts

Although it was only a short five miles from Isfahan, the soldiers of the Persian Red Saar Legion, which had been scattered on all lines, were a route to death.

In the whole battle, the Manchurian Eight Banners paid less than 6,000 dead and wounded, while the Persian Red Saar Legion suffered 40,000 casualties, and now the 60,000 Persian soldiers scattered and fled and are being slaughtered by the Manchurian Eight Banners.

The short five-mile journey was covered with blood and corpses.

Finally, after slaughtering more than 30,000 Persian soldiers again, in addition to some of those who surrendered halfway, about 10,000 people fled to the western gates of Isfahan.

The Qing army attacked Isfahan only at the east gate, so the west gate was not besieged.

"Open the door and let us in!" The Red Saar legionnaires, who had fled here, shouted to the Persian soldiers guarding the west gate to open the gates.

Seeing that these were all soldiers belonging to the Red Saar Legion, the Persian general guarding the west gate was shocked, but he could not ignore the nearly 10,000 soldiers and immediately ordered the city gate to be opened.

The embarrassed Red Sal soldiers swarmed in.

At this moment, the sound of rumbling war horses galloping came, and in an instant, a large group of cavalry with eight banners rushed out and began to slaughter the Persian soldiers behind.

Under the rain of arrows, no less than 200 Red Sal legionmen were shot in an instant.

"The enemy is approaching, close the gates!" The Persian generals in the castle roared, and immediately a group of Persian soldiers began to close the gates from inside the city.

The Red Sal legionnaires, who were still outside the city, were suddenly frightened and squeezed into the city gate even more desperately, so that it was impossible for the Persian soldiers in the city to close the city gate under such a powerful impact.

The Eight Banners are getting closer and closer, and maybe they will be able to enter the city in a while.

The Persian soldiers on the castle were anxious and ordered arrows to be fired and a large number of stones to be thrown.

Hundreds of Persian soldiers at the city gate were killed by a rain of arrows and stoned, and in an instant the front of the city gate was emptied, and the Persian soldiers in the city closed the city gate.

Thousands of Red Saar legionnaires who were blocked out of the city cursed in despair, and finally surrendered on their knees under the encirclement of the Eight Banners.

The Eight Banners appeared quickly, and although more than 3,000 Persian soldiers from the Red Saar Legion rushed into the city, Aobai and Zihar did not feel sorry.

"Hmph, if it weren't for our deliberate actions, I don't think anyone would be able to escape into Isfahan!" Ao Bai said with a sneer.

Indeed, as Ao Bai said, if they really let go of all the annihilation of the Red Saar Legion, as long as they sent an eight-banner iron cavalry in front of the city gate in advance, not a Persian soldier of the Red Saar Legion would not want to escape into the city of Isfahan.

Aobai and Zihar deliberately let thousands of Persian soldiers of the Red Saar Legion flee into Isfahan, and it was on Dorgon's orders that the Persians themselves spread the news of the total destruction of the Red Saar Legion.

No rumor is more believable than coming out of one's own mouth.

It is believed that from the mouths of the more than 3,000 Persian soldiers of the Red Saar Legion who fled into the city, the Persians not only learned the news of the annihilation of the 100,000 Red Saar Legion, but also heard the strength of the Manchu Eight Banners, because the 100,000 Red Saar Legion was defeated by the Manba Banner of 50,000 people.

This was done with only one purpose, to spread fear and completely break the will of the Persians in the city to resist.

"Let's go, I'll go and report to the regent!" Zihar said.

Ao Bai nodded, and together with Zihar, he led more than 40,000 Manchu Eight Banners and nearly 30,000 captives to the direction of the east gate to join Dolgon, and together they attacked the city of Isfahan from the east gate.

When Aobai and Zihar appeared in front of Dolgon, the Qing army had just entered the city of Isfahan under the opening of 14,000 dragon breaking troops.

Hearing the news from Aobai and Zihar that the Red Saar Legion had been wiped out, Dorgon nodded and said, "The destruction of the Persian Empire is now!" ”

"The regent is mighty, and the Qing Dynasty is invincible!" Aobai and Zihar shouted at the same time.

"Order, the Eight Banners Iron Cavalry will accompany this king into the city and give the Persians the last blow!" Dorgon coldly ordered.

"Wow!" Ao Bai and Zihar got up at the same time.

Under the personal command of Dolgon, all the Eight Banners were dispatched, and a total of more than 50,000 iron horsemen rushed into the city of Isfahan from the open road, and began to fight the final destruction of the Persian Empire together with the Dragon Breaker Army, Persian Banner and other Qing armies.

"Boom"

"Kill"

War horses gallop on the roads in the city, the full eight banners are powerful, once known as the world's first cavalry, if the slow attack of the dragon army can only make the Persian army continue to retreat, then the full eight banners have the ability to instantly make defeat into rout!

Wherever the Eight Banners passed, neither Persian soldiers nor ordinary Persian civilians could escape their killing.

"No, run! Stay away from these devils! A large number of defeated Persian soldiers shouted in fear and kept fleeing, and a large number of Persian people in the city were also fleeing, and the whole of Isfahan was in chaos.

General Abad followed a remnant of tens of thousands of Persian troops in the direction of the Persian Imperial Palace.

General Abad was even more frightened than ordinary Persian soldiers, at this time, General Abad could no longer pretend, he couldn't first show all the fear in his heart, because of fear and paleness, General Abad's face was difficult, like a girl who had been raped a hundred times.

"The empire, the empire is going to be destroyed, Allah, what should I, General Abad, do!" General Abad muttered as he ran.

Some of the Persian generals and Persian soldiers next to him heard General Abad's shout and looked at General Abad in disbelief, but in the pursuit of the Qing army, none of them had time to question General Abad, so they only cared about the continuous rout in the direction of the palace.

Soon, the remnants of this Persian army of tens of thousands fled into the Persian palace.

Defeat seemed inevitable, and a large number of Persian soldiers were cornered by the Qing army, either surrendering on their knees or fleeing to the Persian palace, the last line of defense.

Except for a part of the Qing army that continued to clear the remnants scattered in the city, most of them surrounded the Persian Palace, the last line of defense of the Persian Empire, under the command of Dolgon.

At the same time, the artillery of the Qing army outside the city had already stopped shelling the city, but was dismantled and transported into the city, and Dolgon seemed to be preparing to bombard the Persian palace with cannons.

The northern siege of the palace, the Persian Empire has reached the brink of survival, and the entire Persian Empire seems to be about to be swallowed by the Manchurians, but if the Persian Empire is destroyed, will it really be able to successfully annex all the territory of the Persian Empire, not necessarily!
