"There's an order from above, it's not allowed to pass here!" , a soldier said coldly.

"Ahh What can I do? According to the agreement, our shipment must be sent back as soon as possible. The shopkeeper of the caravan said with a bitter face. Then he took out two jars of wine from the goods and begged, "Why don't you let us go?" You see, we're just a few of us, and we're gone. If it is delayed, the old man of Mahmut will not be blamed! ”。

The soldier looked at the wine, then turned and left. The shopkeeper of the caravan didn't know whether he could do it or not, so he waited in place.

It didn't take long for the soldier to return to the shopkeeper's sight. It's just that behind him, there is also a commander in armor.

"It's not that I don't want to let you live! It's almost evening, and it's going to snow again. Even if you are allowed to go down the mountain, there is a good chance that you will freeze to death at night. ”。

The Turgat Pass is located on a ridge and at a high altitude. When you go down the mountain during the day, you have to slow down and be careful. This night down the mountain, it is even more thrilling. And the temperature is low at night, so it's easy to freeze to death halfway.

Therefore, the word of the Commander is also reasonable.

But when you go up to the Turgat Pass, it takes most of the day. If I go back, it's still too late tomorrow. So the treasurer asked the ruler to stay overnight in the pass.

Although during this sensitive period, no one outside the military is allowed to stay in the pass. But the shopkeeper had a token of the Mahmut family, and took out more than a dozen jars of good wine. In addition, there were not many people in the caravan, so the commander agreed to let them stay.

It's just that the military fort has burned down, so the place where I live is a simple wooden house built with wooden planks on the ruined walls. The stone walls blackened by fire on all sides block the cold wind, which is okay.

No fire was allowed inside, and the shopkeeper took out a cotton blanket he bought from Khorasan to keep warm. Then I boiled hot water outside the house and soaked a few boxes of ramen. provoked the soldiers in the fort, and they were all envious. The shopkeeper hurriedly ordered someone to get more warm blankets and distribute them. Send some more canned food and instant ramen noodles to win the favor of everyone right away.

"I've always heard that the cotton blankets in Khorasan are comfortable and warm, and I can enjoy them today." , a soldier of the Eastern Kharat Khanate lamented.

"And this canned fruit! In the past, it was up to the Li family firm in the city to sell. It's a pity we just can't afford it. Someone chimed in.

"Haha... When I was with the commander before, I had the pleasure of eating it once. But it's canned apples, not as sweet as this canned watermelon. ”，

"Tsk... You're wrong! The sweetest canned food is melon. ”

"Hahaha... If you want me to say it! No canned food is as filling as a box of ramen. ”。 As the flagship product of Khorasan, vegetarian ramen has become a must-have for merchants traveling from south to north. Because it is not only convenient to eat, but also very filling.

It's easy to carry, too. Packed in an oiled paper bag, it is only the size of a palm. Caravans can not only eat their own, but also sell them along the way. In the surrounding areas of Khorasan, this thing is in high demand.

Before, it was a special supply for the army, but later Li Chengji saw that its technical content was not high, so he sold it in the form of auction. And it is produced by those merchants, and procured by the army. As a result, the government has saved a lot of money.

After eating and drinking like this, the sky was completely dark. Because of the drinking, many of the soldiers slept deeply. But the group of caravans all opened their eyes.

Then they took out the daggers they had hidden in their bosoms, and wiped the necks of the nearest soldiers. Then spread out and go to the rest of the cabin.

But unfortunately, he ran into a soldier who was convenient to go out. When he saw the caravan with a blood-dripping dagger, he immediately shouted.

Seeing that it was exposed, the people in the caravan didn't care about startling the snake. Quickly ran to the first floor where the drinks were stored, took out the fire fold, and set the house on fire. In an instant, the fire spread, and the entire wooden house began to burst into flames.

Since the fire started from the ground floor, and the wooden house has a total of five floors. Therefore, when the fire broke out, the soldiers on the upper two floors could not escape at all.

Ha Mibuer, who had been guarding the mountain, saw the fire on the mountain and immediately rushed to the mountain with five hundred soldiers and horses. Since the submission of Tayang Valley to Khorasan, Li Chengji has made Tayang Valley the emir of Bakhana County. And Ha Mi Bu'er was loyal to Tayang Valley, so he still stayed by Tayang Valley's side to serve.

This time, the nobles of the Eastern Kara Khanate killed the Khan and defected to the Mongols. Tayang Valley immediately let Ha Mi'er make a move, preparing to seize the Turgat Pass. Once it is done, it is a great achievement.

It was also the caravans of Mahmut that often passed through the land of Pakhana, and Tayang Valley kept an eye on it. So he got their tokens, disguised them as caravans, and took the Turgat Pass.

The next day, Tayang Valley led an army of 20,000 men to successfully cross the mountain pass and advance into the territory of the Eastern Karat Khanate. This military operation was very early on, and Li Chengji gave an explanation.

At that time, the Bakhana had just been recovered, and Tayang Valley was stationed in the same place, just to prevent changes in the Eastern Kharat Khanate. It's just that many people don't understand and feel that letting Tayang Valley stay in place may form a tail-ending trend.

Even Tayang Valley himself asked to be transferred.

But Li Chengji believed that Tayang Valley would not be so stupid and self-defeating, so he still insisted on this appointment.

Now, taking advantage of this opportunity to attack the Eastern Kara Khanate, Tayang Valley finally has a chance to prove its loyalty.

The march of the great army is fast! Especially after descending to the flat ground, there is a flat river in front of you. Tayang Valley asked the soldiers to change horses and quickly rushed to Keshihar. This operation is all about speed, in order to catch Har off guard.

Therefore, when they came, they were all one man and two horses.

But there were many villages along the way, and their movements in Tayang Valley were very large, so their whereabouts were soon exposed. When passing through a village in the Muddy River, there were hundreds of defenders. But when they encountered their army in Tayang Valley, they didn't even have the courage to fight, so they fled to Keshihar.

When it came to Keshihar, the gates were closed. As the vanguard, Ha Mi Bu'er was the first to arrive. Seeing the high walls of the city, I couldn't help but sigh that I was a step too late.

However, Ha Mi Buer still tentatively launched an attack, although the defenders on the wall were a little panicked, but relying on the support of the city wall, they still blocked Ha Mi Buer's offensive. And because of the lack of siege equipment, Ha Mi Buer couldn't attack it for a while.

Only hundreds of corpses were left behind, stationed outside the city.

It's just that at this time, a large force of soldiers and horses suddenly rushed out of the city. But seeing that they don't have many soldiers and horses, the guards in the city have the intention to frustrate their spirit.
