Chapter 409 Defeat the Bukhara Khanate

Undeceived by Sultan Muhammad, Yang Dongfang went north to capture Tashkent, an important town in the Kokand Khanate that had been captured by the Russians last year?????.

Instead, he marched west by boat directly along the Syr Darya River and attacked the Bukhara Khanate, shortening the journey by more than 600 miles.

This was something that Muhammad Sultan could not imagine, and his ministers could not help but exclaim:

"With the help of the gods, the Chinese army can actually pass through here."

So he was even more in awe of the Chinese Empire.

It was even more unexpected, and the Bukhara Khanate was attacked in this way, and there was no defense at all.

On the one hand, Yang Dongfang asked Zhang Zongyu and others to attack from all sides, divided into several teams to break through, wreak havoc and plunder, weaken the national strength of the Bukhara Khanate, and converge towards Samarkand.

On the one hand, they continued to publicize to the local people that they were chasing Agubai and other rebels, and said that they were instructed by the Kokand Khanate, and Agubai and others fled to this side before they came after them.

The purpose is to kill the rebels, not to storm the city, so as to reduce hostility and resistance.

It was not until Samarkand that King Muzaffar al-Din Bahadur received the news and hurriedly informed the Russian military officers stationed in the capital:

"Your Excellency Leonid is not good, there is an army in the Samarkand region that has a strong name, they have powerful muskets, and they are attacking Samarkand, and it is estimated that Samarkand has now been broken by them."

Leonid looked like a lion, with fluffy hair, a pot-bellied belly, lantern-like eyes, and a short stature, and spent his days doing repetitive exercises on the belly of the women of the Bukhara Khanate.

At this time, when he heard Muzaffar-din Bahadur, he hurriedly explained the situation and asked impatiently: "It's the Kokand Khanate that has come back, it's impossible!" They didn't pass through the area of Tashkent, how could they attack Samarkand quietly, and they were all cavalry, they didn't want to die. ”

"Lord Leonid, it is true, their weapons are more advanced than those of your country, they are artillery and muskets, they are extremely sharp, and all the armies have been defeated by them." Muzaffar al-Din Bahadur looked pained, and he wanted to be more wronged and more wronged. Leonid had to pay attention, and in the end he could only think about the British:

"Could it be the British troops, when will they break through the Bukhara Khanate that the Barakzai Kingdom has entered, what are their intentions, do they still want to go north to fight for the Kazakh steppe with our country."

The British were the staunch blockers of Tsarist Russia's southward passage to the sea, which had to make Leonny think a lot, so Leonny felt the need to eliminate this incoming secret force and let the Tashkent troops pursue it south????.

At the same time, the troops of the Bukhara Khanate were transferred south from the capital Bukhara to reinforce Karshi and prevent the Chinese army from escaping south.

The smoke of Karshi has not yet dissipated, it has just been taken by Zhang Zongyu, and Yang Dongfang has also rushed here.

After getting off the horse and resting, Yang Dongfang looked left and right and asked, "Why don't you see Zhang Yujue's kid!" ”

Zhang Zongyu said: "It's just his team, and it is estimated that it is a little far." ”

Half a day later, sure enough, Zhang Yujue was late, followed by a large group of cavalry in pursuit.

"Your Majesty, this kid Zhang Yujue looks like he stabbed a hornet's nest and made trouble." Zhang Zongyu put down the binoculars and said with some concern, Yang Dongfang smiled:

"It's okay, you should know him best, since he was a child, he has been following you on both sides of the Huanghuai River, although he was chased, but the flag was not messed up, and the gun was not released, it was impossible to run out of ammunition, it should be deliberate."

After saying that, Yang Dongfang didn't pay attention to it, Zhang Zongyu understood what he meant, and sighed slightly: "Then I can only help him wipe his buttocks." ”

Soon Zhang Zongyu gathered the team and rushed out of the city, rushing towards the enemy army pursuing Zhang Yujue, Yang Dongfang sat in the city, fanned the fan, and drank the iced sour plum soup that Chengdu had just made to cool off the heat and watch the play.

Half an hour later, the cavalry slowly returned to the city, one by one with a bloody aura, singing and rejoicing, there was a detour of Zhang Zongyu's fresh army to ambush them, and most of the enemy losses in pursuit fled away.

"Your Majesty! We defeated 6,000 cavalry of the Bukhara Khanate, and killed more than 3,800, and Yu Jue found out that the enemy country had gathered 16,000 troops from the direction of Bukhara and came to us, in addition to the defeated cavalry, there were 4,000 cavalry, and the rest were infantry troops. ”

Yang Dongfang looked at the soldiers who entered the city from outside the city and said excitedly: "You have worked hard, I have entered the Bukhara Khanate, and I have eliminated more than 10,000 soldiers of the enemy country, and it is a great victory, and the weather is very hot today, so I decided to give each of you a bowl of iced sour plum soup." After arriving in Tianzhu, all the seizures in the first three days belonged to himself. ”

"Hooray! Long live, long live Your Majesty! ”

Chilled sour plum soup!

There is such a thing to drink on such a hot day, it is refreshing to think about it, and it is cool to follow His Majesty to fight.

and seized it three days before entering Tianzhu, haha I heard that there is gold everywhere.

Everyone couldn't help but be excited and howled one by one.

"Of course women don't count, but I have a word first, don't say that I'm cheating!" Yang Dongfang said seriously, causing all the soldiers to laugh.

They know military discipline, this one can't be committed at any time, they can't control the waist of their pants but they want to lose their heads, they can't help but sigh that the emperor reacted too quickly, and he didn't let people touch women for so long, it was really a rhythm to suffocate.

The next day, Muzaffar-uddin Bahadur came to the city of Karshi with his men and was about to attack the city, when he saw the city gate open and someone beckoned, indicating that the Chinese army had left before dawn, as if they were going south and west around the Amu Darya River to attack the fortress of Charju.

"Hit the fortress of Chalju! Could it be that the real purpose of this group of enemy troops is to attack the capital city of Bukhara? Muzaffar-udin Bahadur was puzzled, and while informing Leonid, he sent all his cavalry back to the capital.

Leonid also chased Karshi half a day later, and roared angrily:

"Idiot! How could they go to fight Charzhu, they went south along the river, and they didn't know how easy it was to hit Charzhu, they put smoke bombs, and they must have gone directly to Termez. ”

As expected, Muzaffar al-Din Bahadur's chasing cavalry returned and went southeast.

Leonid had no choice but to continue the pursuit with his cavalry, and Muzaffar al-Din Bahadur sent 2,000 infantry to follow.

That night, suddenly, in the city of Karshi, there were gunfire, the streets were riddled with flying horses, and four thousand soldiers of the Bukhara Khanate were surrounded in the barracks, and not a single one escaped.

The only symbol of the city is a turquoise-coloured dome, a round fortress with graceful arches and a high minaret, and Muzaffar al-Din Bahadur spent the night in it tonight, leaning against the graceful little arch, his eyes red, his face hideous, and his mouth still shouting: "No! No! This can't be true. ”

Hearts and souls were broken, and Muzaffar al-Din Bahadur shouted and roared with all his might, because the whole city was occupied by the sudden appearance of the enemy.

His 4,000 troops were being shot and killed, and the fire was spreading throughout the city, and the barracks were soon on fire, and the troops loyal to them were wiped out.

"It's over! It's all over! "Just when Muzaffar al-Din Bahadur was in despair, the soldiers reported:

"Great King! The enemy outside tells us to disarm and surrender or else set fire to this place, what are we going to do! ”

"What to do! What else can I do, drop! "Muzaffar al-Din Bahadur is not a tough man, he knows that the enemy outside will not be polite to him, and if he says nothing, he will definitely die in the fire.

Yang Dongfang used the technique of returning to the city to kill the army of 4,000 Bukhara Khanates and capture Muzaffar-uddin Bahadur himself alive, and then walked to the southeast the next day.

At noon, Zhang Yujue came over with a few prisoners and threw them on the ground, and when the captives saw that Muzaffar al-Din Bahadur himself was also in the army, they were shocked, bowed down and said: "Great king, why are you here, Lord Leonid also asked me to come back and give an order, asking you to bring 4,000 troops to support him against the Orientals." ”

Muzaffar al-Din Bahadur didn't speak, but looked towards Yang Dongfang, Yang Dongfang smiled and said, "You send a few henchmen back to Leonid, we will rush over as soon as possible, and ask him to wait patiently." ”

It turned out that Leonny had to rush for two days, and finally the shadow of the Chinese army appeared in front of him, but at the same time there was also a cannon arranged in the mountain pass, which suddenly blinded his 3,000-strong troops.

Zhang Zongyu led a regiment to take the opportunity to fight back, and Leonid had to retreat ten miles and pay most of the casualties.

Only then did I understand that it was not the British who fought against them, but the Chinese in the East.

At this time, he wanted to withdraw but was unwilling to fail, so he urged the soldiers behind him to come over quickly, and he led people to entangle the Chinese army.

This is also the reason why Yang Dongfang left Muzaffar al-Din Bahadur and did not kill him, because he wanted to take Muzaffar-din Bahadur to kill Leonid, so that Muzaffar-din Bahadur could only make enemies with Tsarist Russia.

Next, Tsarist Russia will avenge Leonid and carry out a larger-scale invasion of Burundi, and Muzaffar al-Din Bahadur will have to fight to the death with Tsarist Russia in order to save his life.

And Yang Dongfang was not ready to support Muzaffar al-Din Bahadur, because he wanted the Bukhara Khanate to be in turmoil, so as to share the thoughts of Tsarist Russia in the east for him, and also to temporarily protect the Kokand Khanate from invasion and disturbance, so that the Chinese Empire could better carry out infiltration.

A day and a half later, Yang Dongfang and others arrived at the location, and after Leony saw the incoming army clearly, he was shocked and realized that something was wrong, but unfortunately he was not in a hurry.

Yang Dongfang blocked his way back, and also put a knife on the neck of Muzaffar al-Din Bahadur, and ordered the troops of the 2,000 Bukhara Khanate to attack the Russian army against the water.

The 1,500 Tsarist Russian troops were quickly wiped out because of the enemy's belly and back, and after Leonid was wounded and captured, Yang Dongfang asked Muzaffar al-Din Bahadur to kill him with his own hands, so he laughed and left with the troops, not embarrass Muzaffardin Bahadur, with his more than 1,000 soldiers.

"Damn the Chinese army, these damn devils." Muzaffar al-Din Bahadur roared back to the sky and slashed Leonid's body with a sword in his eyes, his eyes resentful, his heart desperate and crazy, he knew that he was about to embark on a road of no return.
