Chapter 389: The Four-Way Army

More than forty miles east of the city of Yeli, in the upper reaches of the Hari River, in the valley of the Obe River. Commander Kalwang was leading the 1st and 4th Battalions of the Eagle, the 3rd and 4th Battalions of Chiyan, and the 2nd Battalion of the Firmament, a total of 35,000 troops, to march up the river towards Fislog.

The forces of the Ingurs were mostly pinned down by Ber-uddin Shamu. And before Khorasan, there was also an intention to ease relations with the coalition forces of the Gur tribe. As a result, the Gur moved most of their forces to the east. Thus, when the cathars marched eastward, the Gurs set up a defensive line on the western side. It's like papier-mΓ’chΓ©, and it breaks when you poke it.

In fact, there are quite a few passes, all of which have taken the initiative to make way for Kalwan. Because of the rise of Khorasan, people with discerning eyes are in their eyes. In addition, before, the Department of Affairs did not buy people's hearts in the land of Gur.

So Kalwan did not meet with any effective resistance.

It was not until the troops approached Usburg, west of FislogΓΌ, that the local defenders blocked the fort from the fort with a dangerous terrain.

"Captain! This land of Usburg is a master, and it is impossible to open it. If you want to attack, you can only take it by surprise. Sitting in the tent, Abrajan suggested in a loud voice.

This time, in order to capture the land of Gur as quickly as possible, Li Chengji deliberately mixed the eagle, Chiyan, and the sky into a three-way army. Together with the Persian legion, it is the Fourth Route Army. Among them, Kalwan led the First Route Army, which mainly captured Fislogu.

The second army, led by the Great Diwan Li of the Household Department, marched south to capture Sistan and attacked the rear of Gitzini.

The Persian army led by Timur was the Third Route Army. Departing from Bancheng County, capture the eight meters.

The remaining Fourth Route Army stayed in Khorasan to prevent mutations. The border armies of the two counties of Yeli and Bancheng were responsible for transporting grain and grass and did not participate in the battle.

Abrajan was fortunate enough to be transferred to the first army of Kalwan and became the main force to capture the land of Gur. This is a good opportunity to fight for military merit, and Abrajan is overjoyed. But along the way, there were no hard battles. can make him feel a sense of grievance with all his strength and nowhere to go.

Now that he finally met the hard bones who dared to argue with the cathars, he was more happy than worried.

Gregory led the Death Battalion and was also transferred to the First Route Army. Hearing Abrajan's words, he also agreed: "Usburg can't fight hard!" Surprise is the best plan. ”。

Tataraf, the commander of the 1st Eagle Battalion, immediately nodded and said, "When I served for Gul Sultan, I was stationed in Usburg for half a year. I don't know if the main general guarding the fort is an old acquaintance. ”。 As a prisoner of the Gur people, he was once rewarded with Lee Seung-ji along with Kalwang.

Later, although he did not have as great military achievements as Kalwan, he also became the commander of a battalion and was awarded the military rank of commander of a thousand commanders.

"Now the fort is guarded by the chief of the Gurshah tribe, Hetosabel. He was alert and was appreciated by Sheikh Salar Arafain. Calwan has a message from the Division, so he knows the defensive situation of Usburg well.

"Hetoshabel! When I was stationed in Usburg, I had a drink with him. is bold, maybe you can say a thing or two. Tatarav's face turned happy and he said loudly.

Because the defenders of Usburg ignored the arrival of the cathars, Tatarav and others did not know who the defenders of Usburg were. Now that it's clear, there's room for manoeuvre.

"Hmmm! If not, be sure to leave with your whole body. Calwan thought about it, and there was nothing good to do, so he responded.

So while it was still early, Tatarav changed into a simple suit and led a few followers. Driving a dozen horses and carrying goods, they marched towards Usburg.

Walk along the Hari River through the dense mountain forest. Both sides of the river are lofty mountains and mountains, and the altitude is very high. Some of them go straight into the sky, and you can't see the top of the mountain. There are also mountains covered in snow, which is daunting.

Usburg is right on a cliff. The Harry River flows past it, turning into a waterfall and rushing down. As a result, the river valley below has been transformed into a lake with a large area.

At this time, there is a small path on the shore of the lake, which is not very wide, leading to the cliff. Tataraf had led the men halfway up the hill when they were stopped.

"Who?" , a Gur soldier in a narrow coat and narrow sleeves asked in an unkind tone.

"Our lord is a friend of Hetosabe, and he is here to visit!" , an attendant dressed as a Tatarav guard, smiling flatteringly. He then took out a few gold coins from his sleeve and quickly stuffed them into the soldier's hands.

The soldier secretly weighed the weight of the gold coin, and the coldness on his face subsided a lot. He said in a slower tone: "The infidels are camping in front, how did you come here?" ”。

When the cathars came, they made a feint here. Because of the narrow terrain, it was impossible to perform, so it had no choice but to retreat.

But it didn't go far! They camped in a clearing on the shore of Lake Uss. It was originally a forest, but it was soon flattened by the cathars. He also hunted a lot of rabbits, goats and other wild animals to meet the meat needs of the cathars.

"They don't feel sorry for the businessmen who pass by. Just let us be careful, and let us over. ", the attendant replied with a smile. At the beginning of its development, Khorasan took advantage of the advantageous geographical conditions of the 'crossroads' to vigorously develop commerce.

Merchants passing by will also be protected. So slowly, Khorasan's good reputation for protecting merchants spread.

The soldier knew about it, too, but it was better to see it than to hear it. Therefore, it is still a little strange to hear it from other people's mouths. Unconsciously said loudly: "Ah! Are the rumors true? ”。

The attendant immediately nodded, and said with a somewhat embarrassed smile: "He didn't bother him when he learned that we were from Yeli." Just say that there is going to be a war here, let's go quickly. ”。

"Yazato?! The place is now in the hands of the infidels. Then you can't be a spies, right? ", the soldier guessed with a hint of speculation.

The entourage was nervous. He stuffed some more dinars and explained, "Look at us people, where are the spies. It's really our lord who wants to see your general, so he came here to have a look. ”。

In the end, take people's money and eliminate disasters for others. Although the soldier was suspicious, he still understood the reason for doing things with money. And I can't say that this group of people really knows their general. So in the end, I still let them wait, turned around and went to the castle to report.

Soon, the soldier walked back. He was joined by Hetosabel and a number of guards.

"Patriarch Hetoshabel, remember me?" Tatarav made a Muslim greeting and said with a smile.

"Tatarav?!" , Hetosha stared at it for a while, and then said in surprise and joy: "My old friend, I haven't seen you for a long time!" ”。
