Text Volume 3 The Road to Empire_Chapter 636 Cornered

As a result of last winter's defeat in the city of Andijan, Abu. Aguis though was not killed by his father Nadir. Muhammad was relieved of the command of the troops, but his troops were almost also assigned by his father to other generals, who only left him in the camp to manage the reception of logistics supplies.

Even the generals of the foreign family can see that the relationship between the two fathers and sons has gone wrong at this time. So naturally no one will come to Abu. Agis was courteous in front of him, and he went to provoke the future Bukhara Khan to be unhappy.

But because of this, Abu. Agith and his descendants were not drawn into this doomed melee. When located in the rear camp of Abu. When Agis heard the unfavorable news from the battlefield ahead, he ran to a hill next to the camp and watched the situation on the battlefield.

Just one glance, Abu. Agis lost interest in rescuing his comrades, for the main force on the battlefield had completely lost command, and most of the soldiers were driven by the enemy to charge his own army, except for a small number of soldiers who rallied around the more prestigious generals on weekdays.

This scene was very important for Abu. Agis was too familiar to him, the last time he was so swept away by his own rout, and then the whole army was defeated. Therefore, without even thinking about it, he turned his horse's head and ran away with his men.

Abu. As soon as Agis fled, the rear camp of the Bukhara army naturally dispersed with the volume. After all, even Nadir. None of Muhammad's own sons wanted to save their father, so why should anyone else fight for Nadir. Muhammad went desperately.

Nadir. Although Muhammad was a tyrannical man, he still had great regard for the knights of the guard around him. Therefore, when the coalition forces drove the rout to storm the center of the Bukhara army, these Nadir . The Knights of the Guards around Mohammed are still fighting desperately, trying to give coach Nadir a chance. Muhammad had some time to regroup.

However, when the Chinese army was still holding out, the troops in the rear camp suddenly dispersed in a hurry, which dealt a big blow to the Bukhara soldiers who were still resisting. Quite a few and Nadir. The Bukhara cavalry, with which Muhammad did not have a deep relationship, also began to turn around and leave the battlefield, as if they wanted to take advantage of the entanglement between the Chinese Guards cavalry and the coalition forces to escape to a safe place first.

Nadir. Muhammad did not know at this time that the farce was the work of his own son, Abu Abu. A masterpiece by Aggies. He was still cursing vigorously in front of his subordinates, this son was too incompetent to even control a rear camp.

However, he scolded and cursed, but his body was very honest on his mount, and he turned his head and left the battlefield under the escort of the Guards cavalry. Nadir. The thousand knights around Muhammad were not enough to turn the tide in this war, but it was not difficult to protect him from the battlefield.

And on behalf of Nadir. After the fall of Muhammad's banner, even the small forces that were still resisting the coalition knew that there was no chance of a turnaround. These small units, which were still able to maintain their formation and move towards the Chinese army, no longer had the will to continue fighting after seeing no hope.

Most of these who were able to maintain their formation under the raids of the coalition forces were lords of all over Bukhara. With the dozen or dozens of guards cavalry around these lords as the core, the soldiers of the Bukhara army who were scattered by the coalition forces around them were able to regroup, and the cavalry of the coalition army was not allowed to wantonly slaughter the soldiers of the Bukhara army.

In the Bukhara Khanate, skilled and well-equipped guards cavalry were the lord's most valuable possession. It doesn't matter if you don't have land and official positions, as long as these guards cavalry are still there, the lord will be able to get everything back.

But if a lord loses his own cavalry, then it is like a woman who has lost his clothes, and a samurai who has lost his armor and weapons, even if they still have land and official positions in their hands, they cannot keep them.

Therefore, after seeing that the defeat was doomed, these lords of the Bukhara Khanate, who still had the strength to fight, chose to surrender to the coalition forces in order to save their "lives" and their most valuable possessions.

Arslan and Gushi Khan were equally unwilling, wasting the lives of their most reliable men on the bodies of these lesser lords who were willing to surrender. Gushi Khan was even more anxious to hunt down the fleeing Nadir. Muhammad did not give the defeated general a chance to regroup, so he quickly lost the battlefield to Arslan and pursued him to the west with the main force of the Hoshute army.

Abu. Aggis's quick decision allowed him to leave the battlefield unscathed with more than 100 descendants, but his luck seemed to end there. The small forces arranged by the coalition forces on the main communication routes became the biggest nightmare for the Bukhara army fleeing from the city of Andijan.

Not knowing how far away the coalition pursuers were, the Bukhara routs were not willing to engage with these blocking troops. They didn't even want to help the defeated soldiers who were intercepted, but instead used these defeated soldiers who were entangled with the small forces of the coalition army as bargaining chips to allow them to escape smoothly.

The weakness of these routs of the Bukhara army greatly encouraged the small forces that came out to intercept the rout. Even some local villagers, who were weak in force, began to search for sporadic routs in the wilderness.

Although these routs did not carry much belongings with them, the armor and weapons on their bodies were the best possessions of the era. Abu. Agis, a centaur with complete armor, was also able to maintain a basic formation when retreating, so after two consecutive teams of centaurs failed to intercept them, someone spread the news of this unit to the ears of Hedar, who commanded the sabotage operation.

By this time, news of another great victory for the coalition forces outside Andijan had spread, and Haidar immediately abandoned the task of disrupting the enemy's communications and regrouped his men. So on the fourth day after the Battle of Andijan, Haidar led nearly 2,000 men and horses to intercept Abu outside the city of Margalang. Aggies.

Abu. In the process of fleeing, Agis also gathered more than 200 loose horses, and at this moment there were nearly 400 horses around him. Although there was a huge difference in the number of people between the two sides, with hundreds of guards cavalry by his side, and the city of Margalang in front of him, Abu . Aggis opted for a head-on confrontation.

However, Haidar unexpectedly moved out of the way, only to command the troops to cut off the tail of the group that was rushing towards the city of Margalang from the side. When Abu. When Aggis broke out of the encirclement, there were only more than 200 horsemen left around him, but he didn't mind, after all, what was intercepted was just a defeated soldier gathered on the road.

But Ling Abu. What Agis didn't expect was that the Kokand generals stationed in the city of Margalang would refuse to open the gates to let him in. Because these Kokand people declared that from now on the city of Kokand would choose neutrality and would no longer intervene in the war between the Bukhara Khanate and the Yarkand Khanate.

Abu. Aggis looked up incredulously at the Kokand general on the city wall and shouted, "Are you crazy? After the Yarkand have driven us from here, will they still allow Kokand to remain neutral? ”

The Kokand general confronted Abu. Aggis smiled bitterly and said, "Why should the little prince pretend to be stupid, if I put you in the city, will the little prince be willing to die in the city with us?"

After this battle, you will definitely have to withdraw from the basin, but how can we Kokand people run? Rather than let our families die on the way, we should gamble on the mercy of the Yarkands. Since they can accommodate the Andijans, there is no reason why they must exterminate our Kokands.

Please don't embarrass me, if I am you, I will go around the city as soon as possible, otherwise you will really not be able to leave. ”

After the Kokand general finished speaking, he simply went down the city wall and avoided the battle scene that was about to take place outside the city. Abu. Although the subordinates around Aggis are the Kokand people who scold the city, everyone knows that except for venting on their lips, it actually doesn't play any role at all.

The Kokand told them to flee as quickly as possible, but after four days of running and fighting, most of them were almost exhausted, and fleeing at this time was basically equivalent to slowly being cut by the enemy, and eventually most of them would be left behind by the enemy.

But if you want to turn around and fight the enemy army behind you, the best time has passed. The enemy army behind him was mainly composed of Andijan and Yarkands, although the combat strength was not in Abu. In the eyes of the cavalry guards around Agis, but after they were exhausted and turned away by the Kokands, the whole team actually had no more fighting spirit.

Abu. Agis also regretted it very much at this time, he knew that he would be rejected by the Kokand people, he might as well have just fought hard with these men and horses who intercepted him, and he might as well defeat this army.

After all, when the whole team saw Margalang City just now, everyone saw the hope of survival, and that time was also the most combative moment for the whole team, even if the number of enemy troops was larger, everyone still had the desire to fight.

But now, those defeated soldiers who have gathered halfway have known that they will be abandoned to the enemy by the team at any time, and naturally they will not fight with Abu. Aggis fought as one.

And the head-on blow of the Kokand people broke the morale of the entire team. Turning hope into despair does not necessarily motivate people, but it is likely to cause most people to give up on themselves.

At least Abu. Aguis had already felt that most of the most loyal guards around him had a "death" intent on their faces at this time, and they had no will to continue fighting. As for the defeated soldiers on the periphery, they are looking left and right, looking for a way to survive out of the battlefield.

In Abu. The enemy forces behind Aggis had already regrouped their troops and pressed up. Even if they had already occupied such an advantage, the opposing general's general was still very cautious in arranging a complete battle formation.

About a third of the men dismounted and lined up in the center, carrying shields and spears on foot. The cavalry lined up on the flanks, protruding slightly. Such a decent battle formation is obviously not Abu. Aggies's forces at this time can break through, but if he turns around and flees and "exposes" his back to this army, then the whole army may collapse faster.

Silently watching the enemy soldier slowly moving forward for a long time, Abu. Aggis let out a long breath, and after unsheathing his sword and handing it to his lieutenant Shaman, he shouted to his subordinates, "I have decided to leave everything to the true god to decide, and if you are still willing to obey me, then unload your weapons and dismount and rest."

If you don't want to... That's fine, just leave on your own. May God bless you to return to your homeland and reunite with your families. For us, the war is over. ”

Abu. After Agis finished speaking, he glanced at his subordinates, then turned his horse and walked slowly towards the enemy array. His men silently made a way, but no one was the first to stand up, but some of the cavalry on the periphery began to flee into the open field without hesitation.

Shaman looked at Abu in his hand. Aggies' sword, and then at Abu. Agis's back gradually faded away, and suddenly turned over and dismounted and sat up on the spot, shouting loudly: "You can do whatever you like, I decided to listen to the decision of the true God, I have been unlucky for so long, the true God should bless us once..."

The Guards looked at each other, and finally someone learned from Shaman to untie his weapon, dismount and sit on the ground. It was like a signal that the Guards dismounted one by one, and some drove the horses aside, and most of them sat or lay on the ground without any scruples.
