At the same time, twenty miles northwest of Mashhad. The large array of cavalry was scattered, galloping through the fields that were growing well. The military guide, Armani, looked at it with a sad face. Unconsciously in my heart, I have a good impression of the cathars.

Because when he was a guide for the cathars, he had seen the military discipline of the cathars with his own eyes. Although he did not commit any crimes until the autumn, he paid great attention to protecting the crops of the farmers along the way. Compared with the two, his impression of the cathar army is invisibly much higher.

Thinking like this, the foot journey is unconsciously slow. With a snap, a long whip suddenly landed on his back.

"Hurry up! Grinding, grinding, grinding! Hearing this evil voice and evil words, Elmani had to endure the pain in his back and grit his teeth to speed up his steps.

Speaking of which, he now regrets it.

Because when the cathars entered the city, he took advantage of the chaos to escape. Originally, he wanted to go to Silvan, who was north of Guchang, and hid in the tribe for a while. But who knows, I ran into the Guchang reinforcements who came to help. Because he was wearing plain clothes at the time, he did not identify himself. So the reinforcements wanted to kill him.

In wartime, in order to boost the morale of the soldiers, the generals allowed their soldiers to kill and take money. The better ones only use force against the powerless and lonely people and businessmen. If the military discipline is particularly corrupt, they plunder the villages and towns.

Therefore, the common people often deal with the passing officers and soldiers with 'passing soldiers like bandits'. Even if they don't have money, the soldiers will kill for fun.

In order to save his life, Elmani had to confess his identity. and tell the apologists about the truth and the truth. This made it possible to escape back to his life.

But it's temporary!

When General Timur Thani, who had just arrived in Shirvan, learned that he was a deserter from Tus, he ordered him to lead the way. And along the way, they were still treated as prisoners. Not only did he tie his hands, but he also hung him behind the horse with a long rope.

Fortunately, the army was not moving fast, otherwise, he would have died of exhaustion by now. But even then, he was not far from death. The legs were sore, sore and soft, as if they had been filled with lead. The back is also hot, full of scars left by the long whip.

If you continue like this, you will die of exhaustion.

Maybe it's fate!

As he prayed for a moment of respite, the army ahead suddenly stopped. Just as he was in doubt, someone brought him to the camp in uniform armor.

After being in the army for so many years, he still has the eyesight. The one who knew that he was going to see him must have met his general Timur Shuli not long ago.

I didn't dare to think about it, endured the pain in my feet, and quickly followed.

When he came to General Timur, who was protected by elite soldiers, he immediately bowed down and surrendered.

"The so-called cathars ahead?" , Timur's voice was calm. But the breath that is revealed has a momentum of long-term battle. So much so that it sounds like people dare not have a disobedient heart.

Elmani immediately raised his head and secretly looked at Timur's expression. Seeing that he was staring ahead, he didn't look at himself, and he breathed a sigh of relief inexplicably.

Just look away, stand on tiptoe and look ahead.

But because he was surrounded by tall horses, no matter how hard he tried, it was difficult for him to see the situation ahead.

The guards on the side immediately jumped off their horses and let him step forward.

It may be due to a back injury or a sore leg. He tried twice in a row, but he couldn't get on the horse. made the surrounding guards laugh. His face was also hot, and he couldn't raise his head in shame.

He gritted his teeth and endured the pain. With a lot of energy, he finally got on the horse.

Only then did he see the situation ahead.

But it was the cathars in soft armor and scale armor who were on the other side of the river, arrayed against each other.

It's autumn and the flow of water in the Kashav River valley is slowing. But it would be impossible to cross the river with water. Because the water of the Kashav River is more than two feet high, crossing the river on horseback is a dangerous situation.

But the danger does not come from the river, but from the cathars on the other side of the Kashav River.

When crossing the river, the current will drown the horse's neck. The soldier must grasp the reins, control the direction, and calm the frightened mount. In this way, we can cross the Kashav River unharmed. Therefore, during this period, in the face of attacks from the shore, there is no power to parry.

Crossing the river at such a time is extremely passive.

So when the army came to this point, it stopped for a while.

After looking at it for a long time, Emani turned around and said, "It's the --- of the cathars." In fact, he can also explain that the eagle cavalry in soft armor is the best at archery. Dressed in fish scale armor, it is a Chiyan light horse. Arrows can be used in distance combat, and spears can be used in close combat.

But when the words came out, he suddenly had the idea that if the reinforcements could be defeated. Therefore he swallowed it back into his stomach.

It's just that his hesitation did not escape Timur's eyes. With a bad face, he said coldly: "What else do you know?" Say! If there is half a lie, die! ”。

A few simple words have put his life on the line.

The guards on the side also whipped him. Immediately a pain in the back and rolled off the horse. He quickly cried and begged for mercy: "The villain doesn't dare to cheat!" Don't dare to hide half a sentence! ”。

Then he looked at the direction where the Guardian Army was located in fear, and said loudly: "These thousands of Liao troops are extremely powerful in archery. A hundred steps away, nine out of ten. Therefore, the villain is terrified, and our army is terrifying...

The further down he goes, the quieter his voice becomes. The guards present also turned darker. Since following Timur to conquer the south and the north, these guards have been under the successive victories, and have been arrogant.

Therefore, when it is said that his army is not good, he is extremely angry in his heart. Timur's face also darkened, obviously extremely impatient.

"Humph! You must be a spy sent by the infidels! ", a guard scolded.

Armani had no choice but to ask for mercy, shouting that he had been wronged. Although Temur was conceited, he was not completely unconvinced of Elmani's words. Let them take them down and look coldly at the cathars on the other side of the river.

At this moment of tension, inside the city of Tus. Sabah Muhammad House.

"Ladies and gentlemen! I invite you here today because I have something important to tell you! Adezi glanced around at the guests present and said loudly.

Hearing this, the guests who were still whispering. All of them stopped talking and looked at it.

Seeing this, Adez continued: "According to the report from Gu Chang's spies, Prince Rajad has ordered General Timur to personally lead reinforcements to relieve the siege of Tus!" ”。

"This..." is like a drop of water dripping into a pan of oil. The guests, who had been relatively quiet, immediately made a noise.
