On the west side of the Hibal Pass, on the Baba Hill Plateau. A large group of tents were stationed on the terrace in the middle of Baba Mountain, and the light of the fire reflected each other, making the camp as bright as day.

This is one of the two most important mountain passes that cross the Hindu Kush mountain range. There are as many as 100 peaks with very high altitude and permanently covered with snow. Among them, Shah Fuladi Peak, which is 5,180 meters high, is the highest peak in the entire Baba Mountain Range.

To the east of it is the Hibal Pass!

From there, further east is the valley of eight meters.

When the garrison that had been left behind crossed the Hibal Pass and cried to Bel-Udin about the misfortune of the change of hands, he was still a little unconvinced. Because before that, he had only received news that the cathars were marching eastward from Yeli.

So he couldn't figure out how the cathars bypassed the Hibal Pass and laid down the eight-meter city that he had painstakingly managed.

But no matter what, I can't lose the eight-meter city. Otherwise, he really has nothing.

With this in mind, he didn't care about cleaning up the mess on the battlefield, so he ordered his troops to move. But on a mountain march, it is difficult to speed up. Moreover, they have just experienced a big war, and the soldiers are relatively tired. Although the sense of urgency of being in danger of being in danger prompted them to cheer up, there is always a limit to the human body.

Therefore, under the influence of the double unfavorable factors of high altitude and high physical exertion, the soldiers who are eight meters tall are finally too tired to walk.

There was no way, Bel-Uddin could only set up camp on the Baba Mountain Plateau.

At this time, there were also disagreements within the army.

Because some generals thought that since the cathars attacked Bami, they were naturally fully prepared. And listening to the words of the soldiers who escaped, there is a great possibility that Bami I will be conquered. Then when they return to help, they will definitely be attacked head-on by the cathars.

And because Kepoli was also taken by Gizzini's guards, they could say that there was no way to retreat.

So to be on the safe side, it's time to never come back.

The main supporters of this statement are the generals of Kebuli. Coupled with the lobbying of the tribes who took refuge in him, these generals who had long since lost their homes did not want to hit the stone with an egg, and sent me to death for nothing.

It is also the power of the Gur Kingdom, and they are all divided according to the tribes. The soldiers and horses of each general are actually composed of tribes. When Ber-Uddin was powerful, they were naturally willing to obey.

But when Ber-Uddin was weak, it was inevitable that he would think about self-preservation.

In the end, Bami's territory has nothing to do with their tribes from Cobuli. When they were lost before, the generals of the eight meters of the tribe didn't help them fight back.

In that case, why did they help the tribe of Eight Rice to die?

It's just that when there is no way to retreat, Bel Uddin naturally can't listen to such words. But the pressure of the cathars made him dare not criticize these generals too harshly.

He allowed the tribal generals from the Eight Rice to argue with them, and made the great tent of deliberations. It's like a food field, and it's very noisy. Later, the two sides quarreled and got angry, and they fought directly. But the tribal generals of Kebuli are a minority after all, and although the generals of the Gur tribe who have taken refuge in them want to help, they are not of high status and do not have the courage to do so.

So in the end, I can't help it.

As the emir, Ber-Uddin saw that the generals of the tribe in Koburi were beaten to a bruised nose and swollen face, and the lesson was almost over. He pretended to be a peacemaker, reprimanded both sides, and ordered everyone to disperse.

But the rift within the army can no longer be repaired. At a time when the enemy is present, it will have even more catastrophic consequences.

It's a pity that Bel-udin didn't pay much attention to this! Later, it was too late to regret it.

The next day, at the Shilbal Pass, a group of men and horses were crossing a mountain road with a huge difference in height and advancing towards the Gur Mountains. At the head was Abu Rais, with a battalion of troops.

Originally, Timur was going to come with a large army, but the news came from the Baluwan Valley that Jicini's army had rushed to the local area to rest and wanted to capture Bami.

Considering that the Eight Meters have just been conquered, the rule of the cathars is not yet stable. Therefore, Timur left a large army to garrison and wait for work. and sent Abu Laiz westward to block the Hibal Pass.

The danger of being caught between two sides has been resolved.

If it had been in the past, Ab Reis might have resigned. Because I stayed at eight meters, there must be a tough battle to be fought by Ji Cini. That's the Guards formed by the Sultan of Ghul! In terms of combat effectiveness and military quality, it is certainly not comparable to a patchwork tribal army.

But because of the affairs of the barbarians, Abu Rais made a big joke in the Persian army.

After all, Kuobasi was in his hands, but he walked away arrogantly. But in the hands of these young men who didn't grow their bodies in Yang Jier, they became prisoners under the steps.

And he was also poured urine on his face, and he fainted alive.

Even if Yang Jier destroyed it, they used a trick to catch the barbarians! But they won, and that's all that matters.

So those Persian generals took him as a joke behind their backs. And he couldn't find any rebuttal to these arguments.

This kind of situation really makes him a little unbearable. After receiving the order of Timur's anthri, he immediately led his troops away. The prejudice against Timur in my heart is also much smaller.

Since the beginning of the valley before dawn, the straight-line distance is not far. However, as the terrain rises, the mountain road is also several times more difficult. So it took nearly two hours to get here.

I saw that the entire Shibal Pass was between two large mountains, and the altitude was relatively high. Even in summer, there is only a small amount of hardy moss on the mountain. And the strange rocks are craggy, and the wind is very strong. Abu Lais's eyelids were blowing so hard that they couldn't open them.

The temperature has also dropped a lot, and you can still see a large amount of snow halfway up the mountain. Fortunately, Abu Rais, they were well prepared, and they were all dressed in the long cotton clothes that the Ministry of War had arranged for them. The hem of the garment can cover the ankles.

So even if the temperature drops, it doesn't affect them much.

Abu Laiz listened to the report of the defenders who had taken refuge, saying that the passage of the Hibal Pass was not short, more than ten miles. At its widest point, it is only about a zhang.

Due to the prominent terrain, a military fort was built here at a very early age. After several generations of evolution, although the fortifications have changed, the location of the fort has not changed much.

It's just that due to the fact that Bami was conquered, most of the defenders here fled before the cathars came. So when Abu Rais arrived, the rest of the defenders simply chose to surrender.

Plugging this place, Abu Reis is half done.

But at this time, a group of rangers suddenly appeared in the passage.
