The next day, Ber-uddin took advantage of the demoralization of the tribal coalition and immediately launched a counteroffensive. The first to take the lead was Shah and other troops who had just taken refuge.

As a result, the tribal coalition lost thousands of soldiers and horses before it was able to repel the attack of Ber-Uddin. That night, however, two more tribes broke away from the coalition and joined Ber-Uddin's camp.

Just as they were at a standoff, Fislogu. A moving artillery was slowly approaching the Datils Gate, escorted by the artillery battalion. Due to the difficulty of the mountain road, there was a lot of delay when it was delivered.

Some of the people who were buying and selling grain, melons and fruits on the street immediately stared at the slowly moving iron lump with frightened eyes.

That's the fear of the unknown!

When they came to the military fort, Abrajiang and the others, who had been waiting for a long time, immediately stepped forward excitedly.

Barrier and the others, who were discussing in the fort, also immediately got the news.

"You said they got an iron beast?" , the patriarch of the Eltuo tribe dragged on for a long time, obviously suspicious of the retribution of the commander.

"The thing was more than a man tall and had a long nose. The whole body is wrapped in iron skin, which is no different from an iron beast! ", the commander said with some trepidation.

Baril also didn't believe it, and said in a reprimanding tone: "It can't be an elephant with iron skin, don't talk nonsense." ”。 Since Tianzhu was captured by Gul before, the existence of the elephant army was also known to Baril and others.

The commander was a little anxious, and quickly explained, "It's not an elephant. It has no feet and no eyes. Underneath are two wheels, not four legs. ”。

As he said that, Barrier frowned.

"Why don't we go check it out! Whether it is an elephant or a beast, you can see it at a glance. ", suggested a tribal chief.

Barriel stood up and walked straight out. And the patriarchs, the elders, and the princes of the house, went with him.

When I came to the wall facing the camp of the cathars, I saw a tall iron bump, which really appeared outside the military fort. The appearance is exactly the same as that of the Commander.

"Iron Beast! These heretics first brought the evil fire, and now they have invited the iron beast! ", said the patriarch of the Mor tribe in a trembling voice.

"How's that good? This iron beast is covered in iron skin, which can be called invulnerable. If we start Weilai, how should we deal with it! The elder had already made up the power of the cannon, and said with a frightened face.

Barrier's face was also dark, shocked by the appearance of the artillery.

At this time, the Abrajiang outside the military fort also noticed Baril's party. He smiled and said loudly: "Captain Wan, hurry up and order the brothers of the artillery battalion to open fire." Those fat sheep are all on the wall, and they will run away too late. ”。

Calwan also saw Baril and the others, so he led the men back some distance and let the gunners open fire.

So the gunner skillfully filled a pitch-black ball into the cannon, and then took the torch that had been lit by others. When the angle is almost adjusted, there is a thud and the lead is ignited.

Barriel and the others, who were still looking at the wall inexplicably, had no idea that danger was coming. So that after the fuse was ignited, none of them dodged.

The result is a bang bang! Barrier's wall behind them was blasted through a large hole by the exploding cannonball. The nails and pieces of broken glass hidden in the shells also scattered in all directions in an instant. Screams rang out, apparently killing and wounding a lot of people.

"Hey! Crooked! Abrajiang watched from below, and said with some regret.

Hearing this, the gunner quickly loaded his ammunition, adjusted the angle and ignited the second gun.

But the angle was still a little crooked and did not hit the fort.

However, Baril, who was lucky to survive, did not dare to stay on the wall anymore. With the support of the guards, he endured the pain in his back and quickly left the wall.

And outside, the artillery continued to fire. The walls that were once full of defenders have become Jedi.

Kalwan immediately ordered his soldiers to build a ladder and rush up the wall.

So in less than a stick of incense, the wall of the military fort was occupied by the cathars. Then the gates were opened and the cathars were allowed to enter the city.

After killing a few recalcitrant tribal troops, most of the soldiers in the city chose to surrender. Including Barir, who was in charge of staying behind in Fislogu, also ordered his men to lay down their arms after the cathars stormed the fort.

In this way, the entire city of Fislogu also fell into the hands of the cathars.

To catch the fighters! Calwan left a battalion to defend Fislogu and prevent the remnants of the tribal army from counterattacking. Then he took the rest of the battalions and the captives of the surrendered tribesmen, and hurried to the valley of Lale at great speed.

At this time, the Persian legion, led by Timur Zhanli, was passing through the Salang Pass north of the Hindu Kush Mountains. This is the only way to get to the Eight Meters! The Kunduz River flows through here, cutting a flat ground between the mountains.

There is a small town here called Hengjan. But the scale is not large, with a population of only about 100 households. The houses are also all stone houses, without any fine decorations, and are very rough.

On weekdays, in order to prevent the attacks of barbaric tribesmen in the mountains, certain fortifications were built around the town of Hengjan. And a certain amount of land was opened up to supply the food of the town. He also raised hundreds of cattle and sheep, which is considered self-sufficient.

Due to the overnight journey, the soldiers of the Persian army were also tired. Timur ordered the legions to rest here for the night, so that they could recuperate and collect their taxes.

As for the original eight-meter garrison, after learning that Timur was sending troops to help Bel Udin, they did not dare to disobey Timur's will and prevented them from entering Hengjan.

It is also they who know in their hearts that their own people are completely inadequate in front of the cathars. Even if it is blocked, it is just a mantis arm as a car. Therefore, regardless of whether what Timur said was true or not, it was all regarded as true.

In order to prevent the cathars from harming the people of the town, the elders of the town specially sent some food from the town. But when Timur paid for it, he was immediately taken aback. It's just that no matter how much he refuses, Timur will pay him the money.

This was the first time he had seen such a situation.

So when he returned to town with the cathar's money, his head was dazed, and he thought he was in a dream. Until they learned from the people that this was not a dream. I dare to believe that it is true that the apologetics do not take the military discipline of the people with a stitch!

This was reported as early as after the cathars occupied the lower Kunduz River. But because it's so unbelievable, most people think it's fake.

Therefore, the people of Hengzhan Town, who knew that the matter was true, all subconsciously felt it. The arrival of the cathars seems to be nothing bad.

So he got some more food and slaughtered a lot of cattle and sheep. Together, the whole town was sent to the camp of the cathars. Compared with the last time I was scared, this time it seems sincere.
