On December 20, 1857, Chen Decai of the Red 11th Army of the Red Army on the Tianchao South Road under the command of Lai Hanying and the main force of Liu Guanfang's division of the Red 12th Army (his Red 47th Division remained in Khotan to undertake the garrison mission), divided the troops into two routes, left and right, and began a large-scale slaughter of Agubai.

In the space of seven days, Chen Decai's troops on the right not only drove straight for more than 400 miles, sweeping through more than 20 strongholds of the Agubai army along the way, but also conquered the three major military towns of Harkhalik, Qipan and Heshlap in the south of Yarkand, destroying a total of nearly 10,000 enemies.

The three divisions of Wei Yide's Red Thirteenth Army and the first part of the Kucha Rebel Army had already left Aksu on December 16, and after taking Balchuk first, followed by Wei Yide's one division and Kucha's Righteous Army, out of the north bank of the Kashgar River, and successfully attacked the Lushayi Fortress in the northeast of Kashgar.

At the same time, his own two divisions marched along the Yarkand River, breaking through the two lines of defense set up by Aguba at Aksamaral and Arangel, and appeared in the rear of Yarkand.

Yarkand was in a hurry, which made Agubai's heart burn.

He wanted to hurry up to the rescue of his most loyal lackey Niazi, who was about to be surrounded in Yarkand, but unfortunately, he did not dare to do so.

Because his own outpost in Kashgar, Rushai, had also been lost, he believed that the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom army would soon attack the last barrier of his Kashgar, the Pai Rent Abat (present-day Jiashi).

It turned out that Aguba's external claim that he had an army of 100,000 people, and the water in it was still quite large.

Of course, if the number is simply calculated, the head that Agubo can pull should be seventy or eighty thousand. However, among the seventy or eighty thousand heads that can be pulled, there are only more than 20,000 people who are really from his hometown, and can really be regarded as his reassuring and well-equipped people. As for the other "puppet armies" that were co-opted by Kashgar and other regions, they were either indiscriminate rabble, or they temporarily succumbed to his power, and although they pretended to be honest on the surface, they were actually half-hearted people who secretly harbored ghosts.

Not to mention anything else, even his once obedient puppet Pasha Busuluk, who was once like a "godson", has recently begun to make changes. He had ample evidence that the ungrateful Busuluk had been mingling with some of his men all day long, and from time to time venting his displeasure with him.

In this kind of harsh situation where the mountain rain is about to come and the wind is full of buildings, Agubo is really worried that once he leaves Kashgar, whether he can come back in the future is estimated to be a problem.

So, can't you send someone else to lead the army out to rescue Nyaz in Yarkand?

For this question, Aguba has not thought about it.

But it's also a pity that as long as Aguba thinks of this problem, not only is his eyes full of tears, but he also has to regret his intestines.

For Aquba looked upon him to his right and left, and there were not necessarily many who were truly faithful to him. But unfortunately, loyalty does not mean that this person must be capable.

For example, Jin Xiangyin and his ilk are indeed loyal to him, but it is really difficult to ask such people to go out and take charge of themselves. I think that when he first arrived, he didn't think of making good use of people such as metallographic seals, especially for the gold-related seals that had helped remove the likes of Stick who were unwilling to submit to him.

However, it was this Jin Xiangyin, who was trusted by him a hundred times and focused on cultivating, who independently led his troops to crusade against Resitin for the first time, and was defeated, not only losing one of his eyes, but also losing thousands of his men.

Therefore, Aguba finally understood that it would be okay to keep them like dogs around and take care of the home for him, but he didn't even have a door to expect them to become the kind of hungry wolves he needed most to go out and eat people.

Of course, Agubo also had a good assistant who could reassure him, the Yunusjiang who had come to his aid from their Khanate, but had died not long ago.

Now Aguba is really heartbroken, because not only does he not have a good servant who can be used handily in a critical moment, but he has also lost a part of his most trusted elite army in Aksu.

Alas, I knew this was the case, why bother in the first place, if the Yunusjiang River was still there, what was the army of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom.

Right now, Aguba knew that no matter how much he thought about it, it would be useless. The only thing he can do is to hurry up and strictly order Jin Xiangyin, and be sure to take care of the portal of Abarth for him. Subsequently, then put his cronies Mirza? Shadi, sent to Ingishal to take charge.

He himself had to settle accounts with those dissidents in the city of Kashgar.

On December 30, the Red 49th Division of Wei Yide took Tagarqi, and the Red 41st Division of Chen Decai's Red of the 11th Red Army trained Yekun and captured Poskam (now Zepu), so far, the Red Army of the Celestial Empire has completely completed the siege of Yarkand City.

On January 1, 1858, Lai Hanyingzhi wrote to Niazi, who was already like an ant on a hot pot in Yarkand, and while severely reprimanding Niazi's various traitorous acts, he also warned him not to take any chances, and that he must immediately surrender to make up for his mistakes, otherwise he and his lackeys would only be dead.

However, the unrepentant Niazi refused to surrender. Because Niazi believed that his master Agubai would never abandon him, as long as he could rely on the fortified city of Yarkand to entangle with the Han people of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom for ten days and half a month, his invincible master Agubai would come to save him.

At 4 a.m. on 2 January, the general offensive of the Red Army of the Celestial Empire on Yarkand began.

The Red 11th Army and the Red 13th Army first concentrated artillery fire and carried out a fierce bombardment of the heads of the north and south cities of Yarkand for nearly half an hour.

Under the cover of powerful artillery fire, Ji Zhiyuan, who was responsible for the first echelon of the siege of Nancheng, and the soldiers of the special service regiment flew across the moat and sent more than a dozen huge explosive bags to the city gate cave that had been tightly blocked from the inside.

Just as Ji Zhiyuan, who was left at the end, was about to light the fuse of the explosive bag with his two companions, Ji Zhiyuan, who looked up to the city with a hint of ridicule on the corner of his mouth, suddenly appeared, and a white flag was waved on the city.

"Brothers, don't order, climb the city"

Almost at the same time as this shout, Ji Zhiyuan took an arrow step and turned his body to the edge of the moat.

A huge wooden ladder that was originally built on the moat and used as a temporary bridge was erected on the wall of the southern city of Yarkand, and in the blink of an eye, Ji Zhiyuan, who was holding a six-wheeled short spear in his left hand and wielding a sembling saber in his right hand, jumped onto the head of the city of Yarkand.

Due to the mutiny of some of the defenders of the southern city of Yarkand, the Red 11th Army seized the southern city of Yarkand.

In the northern city, the Red 13th Army blew down a section of the city wall of the northern city of Yarkand with a terrifying roar, and the 4,000 soldiers of the Red 49th Division armed with muskets roared into the city with an unstoppable momentum.
