Chapter 484: The River Changed Hands
Such a skill immediately made the faces of the soldiers who followed immediately change.
"Dismount! Kill! Abbashai ordered the soldiers to dismount and fight the dead to the death. Immediately, a large number of soldiers jumped off their horses and rushed towards the dead soldiers.
Even though the other party was outnumbered, the dead soldiers did not show the slightest fear. Not only that, but they also sped up to meet it.
And so a bloody battle began! Although the dead have the courage to defy death! And even if there are many knives in the body, it will not die! But there are so few of them! One to two to three may be fine, but one to eight to ten is a bit more difficult. Not to mention, the enemy army outnumbered them ten times and a hundred times. As a result, the dead soldiers, though heroic at first, were soon defeated by a siege from all sides.
In the end, it directly became a gradually cold corpse.
But the purpose of the dead has been achieved! They succeeded in holding back the enemy's footsteps and allowing the division to open the gates. At the same time, the cathars have basically captured the city walls and have begun to enter the city in a big way.
"Drive!" , a detachment of cathar cavalry rushed in and shouted. Without Abbashayya's command, the soldiers below raised their swords to meet each other. A great battle ensued at the gates of the city.
It has to be said that the armoured soldiers led by Abbas Haiya are really not comparable to those ordinary Kipchak tribes. When fighting, it is not a rush forward with numerical superiority. Instead, they fought with the cathars.
Fortunately, the combat training of the cathars is no worse than theirs! So even if they are in a group, the cathars, who have long developed the habit of fighting together, can deal with it properly.
It's been such a bloody battle for a long time! Eventually, Abbashaiya gave the order to retreat as the cathars entered the city with more and more troops.
After so many days outside the city, it is now difficult to enter the city. The hearts of the soldiers of the Apologetics were also full of anger. Therefore, Abbashaija wanted to retreat, but the cathars did not agree.
Wherever Khorezm's army retreated, the cathars followed. Along the way, corpses were everywhere and rivers of blood flowed. Some of the people, who had a grudge against the Kipchaks, also beat the water dogs at this time.
When they were rushing to a corner of the street, a pot of hot oil suddenly fell from the sky.
"Ahh It's so hot! ”,
"My eyes! My face! A soldier touched his blistered face and shouted. Caught off guard, some soldiers were recruited one after another.
"Scald you brutes!" , some people lay on the roof and yelled.
"That's right! Scald them! With that, heads popped up on the rooftops nearby. They all carried barrels and threw them at Abbashaiya.
"Ahh It stinks! ", a contaminated soldier exclaimed.
"It's dung! Damn it! They have attacked us with dung. ”,
But in order to increase the material, the people with big brains added fecal water to the hot oil. On the battlefield, this is the golden juice. If you are burned, it is easy to get infected and cause various complications.
"Fuel them up! Burn them! Some people lit the torch that had been prepared and threw it down in an instant. Immediately, there was a bang, and some soldiers who had been poured hot oil were ignited.
"Ahh Fire! Fire! Help me! The soldier who had been burned into the human-shaped torch rushed indiscriminately and shouted. Immediately, the place that was not ignited was ignited, so that many soldiers were recruited.
"Let's go!" Seeing that some soldiers were still trying to climb up to the roof and find trouble with the people, Abbas Haiya ordered.
After all, the cathars are right behind! They had been delayed for so long that they could hear the shouts of killing getting closer and closer behind them.
Knowing that it was powerful, the soldiers below couldn't care about fighting back and rushed forward.
Just unexpected! The whole street was ambushed. They walked all the way, and they were poured hot oil and fecal water all the way. From time to time, torches were thrown down and the hapless soldiers were burned alive.
It can be said that this is the most aggrieved since they entered the city.
When they came to the inner gate, the gate was shut. And before they could get near, a rain of arrows was shot from the city. However, the commander of the Khanate who stayed behind rebelled, led his soldiers to kill the Kipchaks in the city, and took control of the inner city.
Abbashai avoided the hot oil and dung of the people, but he did not escape the rain of arrows from the soldiers of the Khanate. One thigh was hit by a rain of arrows, and he immediately sat on the ground.
"Emir!" , and some guards immediately surrounded him. Abbashayya looked at the soldiers around him who were gathering fewer and fewer, and said with a sad face: "Sultan, I have your trust! ”。 This time, in order to stop the cathar's march north, Mahamat let him take half of his troops. Among them, even the Ghulam army brought 2,000 men.
But now, the city of Xunskan was only held for a few days before it was breached. The troops brought by him were also seriously damaged, and there were only more than 1,000 people in front of them.
"Emir!" When the other soldiers saw that Abbashai was so sad, they couldn't bear to say.
"Run away. If possible, inform the Sultan for me. The barbarians are not to be worried, and must be careful of Khorasan. If there are no 100,000 elite soldiers, Daliao will never be able to defend it. Therefore, he retired early from the Kipchak steppe and slowly sought to do so. ”。 With that, Abbashai gritted his teeth and drew the arrow from his foot.
The soldiers looked at it and couldn't help but feel sad.
Abbashai wiped the blood from his face with a resolute face, and bowed three times to the northwest. Suddenly, he stabbed a bloody arrow into his throat and quickly died.
When the cathars came after them, the Khorezm soldiers immediately fled everywhere. Although a lot of them were shot immediately, there were still fish that slipped through the net. At the same time, it was even more important to take the city of Xunskan, so the cathars followed the Khanate's soldiers and horses into the inner city.
The next day, a large army appeared outside the city. The flags are unfurled, and the military flags are thunderous. Soldiers and horses stretch from the city gate to the other side of the water!
This is the army led by Lee Seung-ji!
While passing through the town of Rogas, they met the Maru border army there. So they marched north together, and the number of soldiers and horses reached as many as 80,000.
Coupled with the soldiers and horses of Xunsigan, there are already more than 100,000.
It can be seen from this that Li Chengji has the mentality that he is bound to win the Great Liao in the north this time.
The leaders of the cathars, who were liquidating the remnants of Khorezm in the city, learned of Lee Seungji's arrival. Don't dare to slack off! Under the leadership of Duoduo Atan, they came to the outside of the city to greet each other.
If it weren't for the fact that the city had not yet been cleared, Duoduo Atan would have let the people out of the city to greet him. In this way, it is also a good reflection of Khorasan's national prestige.
At present, outside the West City Gate, the Chinese army has a big tent.
"Chiyan Thousand Household Chiefs Duoduo Atan led the generals of the Fourth Route Army to meet the lord of the country." After that, Duoduo Atan took the lead in giving a military salute. The other generals were half a step behind and followed.
