Chapter 320: Kushk Town
"Governor! Egnazien will take revenge, and despise the majesty of the governor, and will be severely punished. Yi Qigan knew the temperament of Puniban Khan, so he knew what to say when to win the favor of Puniban Khan.
Sure enough, when Puniban Khan heard this, he showed a deeply disapproving expression and said loudly: "Allah will never forgive such evil people." ”。
When the others saw this, they also scolded Egnazi again and again. The scene of spitting was very fierce.
But when Egnaqi slaughtered all sides, they all disappeared. Only dare to hide in the corner, and no one dares to fight with Egnaqi.
In the end, the scene of Egnaqi killing people in court has left an indelible impression on everyone's hearts. Especially Puniban Khan! When he thought of the arrogance of Egnaqi when he borrowed troops from him, the timidity and fear in his heart came like a tide.
So after calming down, I want to get rid of it at all costs.
But how to kill it is a tricky problem.
"What is the best way to get rid of such a villain!" , Puniban Khan saw that everyone was talking about it, and he couldn't help but speak up.
"This ---", in an instant, everyone seemed to be pinched by the neck, and suddenly lost their voices.
"Yi beggar, you come!" , Puniban Khan's face sank again, and he was very displeased.
Although there is no good way in my heart, I can only bite the bullet. Just pretend to be thoughtful! After looking around, he immediately had a flash of inspiration and said, "Governor, the murderer's subordinates are all our soldiers." Sending credible people will surely bring them back to the Governor. ”。
Sensing the expressions of the generals, he obviously became nervous. Yi Qigan quickly changed his tone again, and continued: "It's just that although this law is practiced, it is harmful to the reputation of the governor. Therefore, in the eyes of the ministers, it is better to let him lead the troops north. ”。
"You mean, just let him go?" , Puniban Khan's expression was even colder.
Yi Qigan immediately shook his head and explained, "The heretics are already in the north of the mountain!" If it is allowed to go north, it will just solve the difficulty of Yeli. With the bravery of the murderer, there is nothing impossible. ”。
Puniban Khan's expression froze, obviously weighing the pros and cons.
"Don't forget, Governor! Although the murderers had soldiers and horses, they had no rations. If you leave Yeli, you will never be able to go to Bancheng County. Yi Qigan then suggested.
"This matter ---", Puniban Khan hesitated for a few moments before finally making a decision. Let Yi beg to do it, and take full responsibility for this matter.
Thinking of the scene of Egnaqi's murder, Yi Qigan's heart chilled. I hurt my head, and I can't help but feel a dull pain.
And at the same time, the town of Kushk, north of the city. This is an important military town leading to Yali, and it is an important gateway to Yali by the Palu Pamisus Mountains in the south and the Kushik River in the north.
In the spring and autumn periods, you can see business trips from the south to the north here. But at this time, there was no one else in the town except for a neat array of apologetic soldiers.
But a day ago, it was taken by the sudden arrival of the cathars.
Originally, Puniban Khan also laid heavy troops here, but after the first confrontation, he fled, died, and surrendered. The entire military town also fell into the hands of the Protectors.
It's also the speed of the cathars, it's too fast. And the city defense of Kushk town is neither tall nor in disrepair. In the face of the pressure of the apologetic army, the soldiers who defended the city also had no fighting spirit.
Therefore, after the first battle, they were defeated on all fronts.
At present, in a military fort in Kushke, Li Chengji, Li Qiqi and other soldiers and strategists listened to the military report from the front line.
"Governor Qiqi, there are more than 10,000 defenders stationed in the mountain pass, and it is extremely crowded." , the messenger of the probe, spoke out.
Due to the topography, the pass of the mountain pass can only accommodate nearly 1,000 people. However, Kushk was suddenly captured, causing many defeated troops to flee to the mountain passes. As a result, the pass of the mountain pass was overcrowded for a short time.
"The enemy's army is in turmoil, and it is time to seize the pass in one fell swoop." When Musayab, the commander of the Persian Left Battalion of the Protector Army, heard this, he immediately said with joy on his face.
This is a camp specially set up to accommodate the generals who come to vote. With 20,000 people as the upper limit, it is divided into left, middle, and right battalions. Among them, there were 10,000 people in the left battalion, which were controlled by the Red Yan Legion. The combat missions undertaken in the future are also comparable to those of the Red Flame Legion.
The middle battalion consisted of 6,000 men, under the control of the Eagle Legion, and the battalion commander was Kakhtaba.
The right battalion consisted of only 4,000 men, under the control of the Firmament Legion, and the battalion commander was Malik. All of them were awarded the post of commander of a thousand troops, and their status in the apologetics army was not low.
Timur was originally a governor of one side, so his military rank was higher than that of the three of them. He became the head of a thousand households in the Apologetic Army, and led the Persian battalion.
But that's on the surface!
Since the Persian camp was actually divided into three, in reality, Timur could not completely dominate the entire camp.
However, in wartime, you can get the permission of Li Chengji or Li Qiqi, and lead the three battalions on the left, center and right. Like now, Timur Zhanli has the full trust of Li Chengji and personally commands the Persian battalion of 20,000 people.
This is also Lee Seungji's move!
If it was from the beginning, Timur would have been allowed to destroy the high position, and he would not have been allowed to really take office. Then Timur must have a gap in his heart.
Over time, it will become a hidden danger of discord within the Governor's Palace of Khorasan. Therefore, it is better to let him take charge of the army at this time! Even under your own nose, guard against one or two. It can also show that the heart is broad-minded and trusting.
The so-called 'don't use suspicious people, don't suspect people', this is the truth.
But after he finished speaking, someone shook his head again and again and said, "No! Cannot! ”。
When I looked at it, it was Ali Bura.
"When the pass is overcrowded, there will be a gap. If you brake quietly, you can surrender without a fight. Ali Bura's words were brief. Many generals didn't understand.
But Li Chengji understood.
Knowing that Ali Bura wanted to say that since the pass was overcrowded, it would cause a disaster sooner or later as time passed. After all, there was only a small place in the pass, and so many deserters were suddenly squeezed in. Not to mention lying down, it is difficult to stand and find a place to stay.
In addition, in the passes, there must not be enough military rations for the army of 10,000 people to eat and drink. This is hungry, and sooner or later the soldiers will be noisy.
Once it is not handled well, it will be the consequence of chaos.
Thinking of the mountain pass guarded by the defenders of Yeli, it is indeed difficult to overcome. There are too many people to show it. There are fewer people, and they can't cope with the defenders inside.
So if you think about it carefully, Ali Bura's proposal is indeed relatively safe.
However, before he could speak, Timur had already retorted: "When the war starts, the most important thing is to be fast!" If you arrive at Yeli Castle one step earlier, you will be able to conquer it one step earlier. And the pass guarded by the enemy army is not difficult to overcome. ”。
