To put it bluntly, when a ruler abandons his people, then in the same way, it can be said that his people have abandoned him, and Morrissey is such a person, with his own unwarranted luck, swaggering and justifying to abandon those who firmly believe in his own people and army, and it is clear that the ruler who abandons the people is doomed to failure in the end.

The Song army led by Zhao Xu, after sending the 100,000 Seljuk soldiers who came to stop him back to their hometown with countless cannonballs and sharp scimitars, marched westward and headed for Mulucheng, the old capital of the Seljuk Turkic State.

Mulu City, the original defenders totaled 250,000 people, a few days ago Morrissey sent 100,000 troops to block the advance of Zhao Xu's army, because of the artillery, 100,000 Seljuk soldiers, only five days were defeated, so that most of the Seljuk soldiers were captured, Morrissey took more than 20,000 people when he fled, and now there are less than 120,000 people left in the defenders of Mulu City, in the face of the menacing Song Empire army, anxiously waiting for his Sultan His Majesty to return the Seljuk soldiers and people, They all felt a chill.

Although the determination of the people of the city to resist the Song Empire army was undiminished, and they still climbed the city tower to resist the Song army under the command of the defending general, but for the current government of this country, the soldiers and civilians of Mulu City almost completely lost confidence, so under the continuous shelling and attack of the Song army, the strong Mulu City only held on for twenty days, and then the city was broken and surrendered.

The news of the defeat and surrender of Mulu City was like a strange wind suddenly blowing in the desert, and it quickly blew into the city of Appialverd, where the Sultan of Morrissi was located, and the exclamation spread throughout the sky of the entire city.

"We have to get out of here quickly, the Song people's march is too fast, we can't stay here any longer." After receiving the news, Morrissey gathered all the ministers and conveyed his intentions to them.

Alihan, the old prime minister of the Seljuk kingdom, continued with Morrissy's words: "Your Majesty the Sultan is right, we should indeed continue to retreat, we have a vast territory, a huge strategic depth and an endless number of people, which is our reliance on to defeat all enemies, and when the Song people divide their forces and occupy those cities, we will concentrate our superior forces to kill them back, break them down one by one, and destroy them one by one." ”

"I agree with the Prime Minister, Your Majesty, my victorious army and hundreds of thousands of elite troops are waiting for your command in the western part of our country." A Seljuk vizier said.

And the words of these two did not seem to be recognized by Oriandin, he said to everyone in a very calm voice: "My mood at this moment is not as cheerful as the two elders, since the start of the war for more than three months, in the news we have learned, we have lost nearly 400,000 troops and one-third of the country's territory, you say that our country's strategic depth is vast, but why don't you say whether the Song people will increase their troops, as far as I know, the standing army of the Song State is as high as two million people, Its emperor Zhao Xu has fought countless battles since he ascended the throne, and the training and combat effectiveness of the soldiers are extremely strong. ”

"Oriandin, you know what you're disturbing the morale of the army!" Prime Minister Alihan, who was already extremely unhappy with Oriandin, walked out tremblingly, glared at Oriandin and said.

"Okay, Prime Minister, why do you have to be like an ignorant child, Oriandin, obedient, apologize to the Prime Minister." The Seljuk minister's words, although they sounded like they were persuading the two, but after tasting them carefully, they were telling everyone that Oriandin was still a milky child, which greatly insulted Oriandin as the crown prince, but he stretched out his hand and didn't hit the smiling man, Oriandin really couldn't refute this person, so he had no choice but to snort coldly and retreat to his class.

And the Seljuk minister saw that Oriandin was deflated, and after nodding slightly to Prime Minister Alihan, he turned his head to Morrissey and saluted his chest and said: "Your Majesty the Sultan, we can go to Rey and Isfahan, these two places are far away from the existing sphere of influence of the Song army, we don't have to worry about them killing them in a short time, and these two places have not been affected by the war, and the army is even more complete, so we can regain our strength in these places and be ready to counterattack at any time." ”

"Evacuate to Rey and Isfahan?! Why don't you say let's withdraw to Iraq. Oriondin, who was already holding back his anger, roared at the minister.

"I also have this intention, Crown Prince Oriondin, please listen to me quietly, His Majesty the Sultan, the Governor of Baghdad, the lord of Hussein, sincerely wants to invite His Majesty the Sultan to go, the city of Baghdad is crossed by the Tigris River and the Euphrates River, which is a natural strategic barrier, and the Baghdad region is rich in grain production, which can be used as a foundation to resist the invasion of the Song Empire."

"Well, your suggestion is very good, and very much in line with strategic intent." Morrissey happily commended his minister.

"Father! Why have we been retreating, and are we still on the ground to attack? Oriandin said to his father with red eyes.

And the timid Morrissey naturally wouldn't listen to his son's wild voice, so he said angrily to him: "What do you know, aren't we looking for a fighter that can completely defeat the invaders, don't mess around here if you don't understand." ”

"Father, what we lack is not the ability to defeat the enemy, let alone the lack of fighters to defeat the enemy, what we lack is the courage to defeat the enemy, we have only lost one-third of our territory now, as long as we regain our strength and use our troops properly, we will still have a chance to defeat the enemy, and if we withdraw to Iraq, two-thirds of our country will fall into the pocket of the Song people, father, if you really want to go to Baghdad, then well, then you give me the command of the army, let me go to the Song people to fight a decisive battle."

Morrissey was actually very moved when he heard his son's words, but before he could open his mouth to speak, the stubborn Prime Minister Alihan spoke again first: "Oriandin, it seems that your ambition is not small, at this critical juncture, your fox tail is finally revealed, you want to support the army and self-respect, and establish yourself as a sultan, I want the Queen Mother to abolish you." ”

This passage directly ignited the long-suppressed anger in Oriandin's heart, and he angrily drew the sword at his waist and said to Alihan: "You old foolish old donkey who can only talk nonsense, today I will cut off your tongue that keeps spreading rumors. ”

And the ministers who stood on Alihan's side, Burke, naturally would not let Oriondin kill their boss in front of their eyes, so they drew their swords or swords from their waists and fought with Oriondin.

"Stop, stop, put away your weapons, are you all going to die with me!!" Morrissey yelled at his ministers and son, but Morrissey, who was disturbed by all kinds of chaotic thinking, could no longer make the most correct decision, so he had to follow his innermost thoughts, and led his ministers, army, wife and children towards Isfahan.

But sometimes I have to admit that when people are unlucky, they stuff their teeth when they drink cold water, and they hit their heels when they fart.

When Morrissey led a group of people to advance to Isfahan City, he had just walked halfway and met the ghost cavalry led by Zhang Qing, Zhang Qing, who was originally on a sweeping mission, was sitting on a horse and yawning boredly, but before he finished yawning, he saw a pair of draggers and mouths appeared in front of him, dressed up in gorgeous troops, no need to think about it, this must be the noble lords of the Seljuks, seeing this group of people who were as golden as gold, Zhang Qing's face was sleepy, and he was immediately thrown out of the clouds. Hearing only a scream, Zhang Qing led more than 10,000 ghost cavalry under his command, as if with a gust of demonic wind, blowing towards Morrissey and the others.

Encounters, sometimes it's so messy, when Zhang Qing yawned, Morrissey also saw them, but how could the Seljuks who dragged their families compete with these ghost cavalry who feasted on killing, with bursts of excited screams, the ghost riders began to charge.

"Stop them, hurry, stop them, take the Queen Mother and they go quickly, get out of here."

But how can the carts used by the family and treasures be faster than the four-legged war horses, besides, the war horses of the ghost riders are the fastest and most athletic war horses in the Song Empire, and under the rapid impact of the cavalry, how can the carriage of the brigade escape from the palms of the ghost riders.

"The 2nd and 3rd Brigades, cut off the enemy's cavalry from the convoy, the 4th to 8th Brigades, cut the enemy, the 9th and 10th Brigades, with the outer bows and crossbows, the 1st Brigade, the one wearing the crown in front must be the Sultan of the Seljuk Kingdom, and I will capture the Seljuk Sultan alive." As he spoke, Zhang Qing galloped out with two swords and led the first brigade under his command to take Morrissey.

The ghost cavalry belongs to the special operations force in the Song Empire, although the ghost cavalry has always been to disrupt the stability of the enemy's rear, slaughter the enemy's people, plunder the enemy's wealth, and reconnaissance intelligence, but as a special operations unit, its individual soldiers and its squad coordination ability is also extremely good, although in exchange for speed, each ghost rider only has a chest guard steel thin armor, but the superb knife skills and excellent squad coordination ability, so that every ghost cavalry soldier has become a never-ending killing machine.

I saw that under the leadership of Zhang Qing, the ghost cavalry soldiers of the first brigade were like a long arrow off the string, stabbing straight towards Morrissy, Zhang Qing's double knives flew up and down, slashing left and right, and every Seljuk soldier who fought with him fell off his horse and died on the spot.

And at the critical moment when Zhang Qing was only more than 20 meters away from Morrissy, as the crown prince, Oriandin rushed out at Zhang Qing, and the heavy sword in his hand was a slash at Zhang Qing, Zhang Qing saw Oriandin killing, so he raised his knife to fight, only to hear a huge sound of metal collision, Zhang Qing's right hand saber was shattered in response, although Zhang Qing pushed Oriandin's sword away, but a ghost cavalry soldier behind him was cut off by Oriandin's fierce slash, and the fierce battle did not give Zhang Qing time to scruple about the dead subordinates, The war horse continued to move forward, only to see Zhang Qing turn around immediately, and the three flying locust stones flew towards Oriandin, and then turned around, and there were three flying locust stones, but this time the target was not Oriandin, but the Seljuk Sultan protected by Oriandin, His Majesty Morrissy.
