vs 34 Mahmoud's Choice

Mahmoud was indeed hesitating, everything in front of him was happening so fast that it caught him off guard.

When he awoke in the morning, he had just ordered the two chiefs of the two tribes to come to the consultation, when he was knocked to the ground by a violent roar, and then there was a continuous chaos, and everyone was frightened by the thunderous noise, and the soldiers could not find the generals, and the soldiers could not be found, and the horses and camels all came out of the fence.

This was followed by a large number of routs fleeing from the front camp, and then the flames and smoke were everywhere as the day before, and the entire rear camp was full of wailing wounded soldiers. Massoud's son even lost his weapon!

This is simply a disgrace to the Turks!

But Mahmoud deeply understands that it is useless to yell and be full of anger, since he has already said that he is an enemy, then he must continue to use any means used by the other party, and complaining is what a woman should do, and anger is equally useless.

After meeting Lao Luo yesterday and coming back, Yusuf. Qadir Khan had a big quarrel with him, saying that since the three families are temporarily allies, they should advance and retreat together, while he Mahmoud and Li Deming stood aside and watched the excitement, and did not fulfill their obligations as allies, of course, this accusation is funny, at least Mahmoud seems to be so, Yusuf. Qadir Khan made a move on the spot, obviously wanting to drag everyone into the water, if the opponent was a good looker, it was just the situation at that time, then Luo Kaixian clearly planned to eat everyone without saying a word, how could Mahmoud give up his life to accompany Yusuf. Qadir Khan marches and retreats together? Although Li Deming, a party member, did not want to get involved in the entanglement, after all, he was also in it, and the three leaders had different opinions, so it was naturally difficult to reconcile, and it was not so much a strategy to prepare for the enemy as to blame each other.

So, a night of time was wasted.

Stay until the early morning and calm down Yusuf. When Qadir Khan came to the door, and when the three families got together to discuss countermeasures, they found that the opponent Luo Kaixian's attack had already begun, and it was no longer the same tentative move as before, and it was clear that it was a dignified crushing momentum.

"Your Excellency Mahmoud, this situation will not last long, now the situation is urgent, I am afraid that we can't discuss it carefully, we need to make a decision as soon as possible, otherwise it will ......" Li Deming's face was full of worry, his eyes were bloodshot, in fact, he didn't sleep all night, he felt that he had made a big mistake when he met on the battlefield the first day, the quarrel in the evening made his heart cold, and the night tossing and turning made him feel even more frightened.

"How else? Could it be that Tuoba wants to escape? "Yusuf. Kadir Khan's face was even more gloomy than the day before, and the tone in his words was full of resentment.

"Shut up, Yusuf!" Mahmoud stopped Yusuf, who had been in a state of chaos since the day before. Kadir Khan, in fact, his own mind is also very confused, but he knows that there is no benefit in accusing each other like this, "Now is not the time to make noise, Na Luo Kaixian is by no means a reckless man, dare to use his little force to attack, and will never be without a backhand!" And now our soldiers are panicking, and it is important to stabilize people's hearts! ”

"Your Excellency Mahmoud, at least seven of the camps on my side have been broken, and only 20,000 people under my command can still hold their posts, and the rest are ......" A trace of grief flashed in Li Deming's eyes, he couldn't go on, the soldiers brought out this time were almost the largest number of troops that could be mobilized, many of them were the elite of the party department, and now they have lost nearly half, it is a lie to say that they are not heartbroken, you must know that this is the key to whether he can gain a foothold in the northwest.

"The rest are dead?" Mahmoud was also a little surprised, he did not believe that in just two days, half of the largest party members had been lost.

"Not all of them were killed in battle, but there were 2,000 wounded and unable to move, and they were rescued, and some of them were still in the camp in front of them, and some fled to the camp in the east, as if they had lost their souls...... They didn't even dare to look back at the enemy! Frustration and annoyance made Li Deming's face flush, and he didn't understand why he suddenly lost control.

"I don't know where Luo Kaixian got the sharp weapon, the stones in the river can actually shoot into the body...... Trebuchets can also throw gravel, but they won't have such power, and there is a thunderous movement......" Contrary to Li Deming's face, Mahmoud's face was pale, and the face of the decaying Samanid was not as dangerous as it is now, of course, years of experience told him that panic could not solve the problem.

"I've never heard of such a weapon, in the legends of the Han people in the East, only the god of thunder has such a thing." Perhaps under the influence of Mahmoud, Li Deming was able to maintain a basic composure, although his eyes were full of horror as he spoke.

"Allah, perhaps we should report to the Great Imams that someone has made a demonic weapon!" Next to Yusuf. Kadir Khan didn't know what he remembered, and interjected casually.

"Then we have to get out of this damn situation in front of us first!" Mahmoud is no longer as ambitious as he had been a few days ago, and although he does not yet have an exact number of the number of battle casualties under his command, he already has a premonition that everything is falling apart from his original expectations.

"What are we going to do? I'm afraid it won't be possible to hold on to the walled city, our warriors grew up on horseback, and they are not good at defense! Is it possible to bypass from both flanks and attack their rear? Li Deming is also trying to find a way.

"It's useless, the gap in the southwest col is only three thousand steps, Na Luo Kaixian must have set a trap, and as long as five hundred people are arranged, tens of thousands of cavalry can be blocked, and once the cavalry is dragged hand and foot......" Mahmoud shook his head lightly, rejecting Li Deming's proposal, he had already imagined this method, but thinking of the means of the man opposite, it was easy to come to a negative conclusion, that guy only needs to arrange the weapon in his hand that can make a loud noise in the mountain pass, The only thing the cavalry on their side could do was flee for their lives.

"Your Excellency Mahmoud, how many trebuchets and bed crossbows do you have over there? Maybe we can gather the trebuchets...... As long as you get together thirty or forty planes and set them in a high place, you will definitely be able to hit them...... "When he first came over, Li Deming brought dozens of trebuchets, but they were all placed in the front camp, and now that the front camp has fallen, even if those things are not damaged, it is difficult to get them back.

"I only have less than ten trebuchets here, or the kind of ...... that can only project five hundred steps" Mahmoud spread his hands and shook his head helplessly, as early as when he planned to set up a camp to intercept, he had arranged siege weapons in the front camp, and now there is really not much equipment left in the main camp behind.

"Alas, how can this be?! Our warrior's shield can't stop that kind of flying stone at all, if only there was the kind of big shield under Luo Kaixian that I saw yesterday! Li Deming sighed helplessly, his subordinates were similar to the Turks, there were not many shields, and even if they did, they were just the kind of round shields that could only cover their chest and abdomen.

"It's not impossible!" Mahmoud's eyes lit up, "You can make a wooden fence into a wooden raft, as long as there are not such big gaps!" ”

"Good way!" Li Deming cheered, and then added: "The wooden fence can be carried forward by two or three people, with archers behind to cooperate in the advance, and then spearmen to escort it, just like the Song people!" But we are better at attacking than the Song people, and I suggest that we attack against attack! ”

"Let me think about it......" Although he agreed with this statement, Mahmoud always felt that something was wrong in his heart, and he couldn't help but hesitate.

"What else do you want? You can't wait for victory while sitting! As long as your men resist the rotten stones on the other side, my men can go around from the flanks and kill them all, and then capture the women and children in the back, and all the craftsmen can become our slaves, and then we can have weapons to shoot that rotten stone! "Yusuf. After being silent for a while, Kadir Khan suddenly perked up and refuted Mahmoud who was going back and forth and muddy.

It's just that he didn't think about it, is Mahmoud really making peace with the mud?

"Alright, let's attack!" No one knows what Mahmoud was thinking in his heart, and he didn't even think about Yusuf. Annoyed by the disrespectful words of Kadir Khan, he made a decision after a little thought.

No one in a high position is a fool, even Yusuf. Kadir Khan's irritability and gloom are just pretended appearances.

After deciding, the three of them stopped the original dispute, and then you quickly completed the plan with a word, there was no way not to hurry, the opponent's battlefield rhythm was too fast, if they didn't hurry up, I am afraid that the tent they were in would be difficult to keep, although there were guards by their side to support, but God knows what kind of fate it would be after losing the foothold. As for the completion plan, in addition to nailing wooden platoons to resist pine cannons, it is also necessary to select powerful warriors and excellent archers, and at the same time, skilled riders must be used to deal with it...... All of these things had to be resolved as quickly as possible, and the loose tribal army was unusually fast under the double incentive of whips and rewards.

Of course, in addition, they also have to gather their own defeated troops, in order to appease the people's hearts, but also to treat the wounded or deal with the wounded, that's right, that is, to deal with, the Turkic, Qarluq, and Dangxiang three departments do not have the ability to treat the wounded under Lao Luo, and the seriously injured who cannot be treated can only quickly solve their lives, in order to alleviate the pain of the wounded, of course, including the drag on the living, although there are witch doctors in their ranks, but a limited number of one or two witch doctors can not solve the problem.

According to the Eastern saying, how can the leader of the three major clans also be the prince who dominates one side, it is not surprising that he made such a choice. Qadir Khan switched from fighting soy sauce at the beginning to revenge, Mahmoud turned from the initial desire to control to passively having to fight, and Li Deming could only struggle because it was difficult to ride a tiger......

Only, can all this be as they wish?
