Chapter 22: Announced!

Shah Rukh heard his master's ridicule and bowed his head in shame.

Aboud's fiery gaze fell on the tower with the broken flag, and the earth city looked so helpless like a lonely boat that would collapse at any moment in the storm.

The sparse figures at the head of the city, these animals waiting to be slaughtered, their faces are full of fear, right?

The scar on Aboud's face seemed to light up.

"Ho-ho!" A cavalry from the east came quickly, and the cavalry wearing Turkic round felt hats whistled loudly, passing the warning signal, and the voice was full of horror.

The earth is faintly shaking.

"Enemy attack! Enemy attack! Cavalry of the Chinese! The speeding sentinels shouted hoarsely, and the Uzbek cavalry bandits galloping in front of the earthen city reined in their horses, and these steppe bandits, who were accustomed to acting on horses, could be judged from the faint sound of horses' hooves that the number of enemy troops attacking was quite large.

"The whole team!" Aboud's face was full of fanaticism, was it the regular Chinese army that Shah Rukh was talking about? In the far east, ruling a prosperous city, arrogant and arrogant self-proclaimed Heavenly Empire and the co-lord of the world, well, today let these self-righteous fellows taste the butcher's knife from the steppe!

The sound of thunder and hooves seemed to be much quieter, and then, in the eastern yellow desert, several teams of black dots were rapidly approaching.

From a bird's-eye view of the sky, it can be clearly seen that the sea of black pressure cavalry rushing from the east has long been divided into hundreds of teams, several hundred teams are speeding forward, and the rest are slowing down in a clear layer and scattered in the desert.

The collision between the musketeer cavalry and the cold-edged cavalry, the cavalry division has already practiced actual combat countless times, with battalions and sentries as units, which sentry charges, which sentry strategy, which sentry responds, and which sentry is familiar with the white-knuckle battle with which sentry is intervened.

"My faithful servants! Charge at the humble enemy before you! Aboud drew his sword and roared, leading the way of the victorious Uzbek warriors who swept towards the incoming black dots like a violent whirlwind, and the bandits from Andijan raised their shining sabers, and the cold sea of white blades rose one after another, and the sand and dust flew one after another, and Aboud had no doubt that after a charge, the weak Chinese cavalry would be torn to pieces by him and his men.

In the city tower of Wushi City, Zhang Mitai looked at the yellow sand that suddenly flew up, and the sand and dust were flying everywhere in the distance outside the city, and he couldn't see anything clearly, but Zhang Mitai knew that it was the rescuers who came, could it be the regent?

He took two steps, clutching the cold stone battlements at the head of the city, and his eyes suddenly blew into the gravel, and tears flowed from the corners of his eyes.

"Bang bang" sounded like a firecracker from afar, but Zhang Mitai couldn't see anything clearly.

In the dust, the Uzbek horse bandits divided into several groups, swooped towards the Chinese cavalry, the speed of the two sides became faster and faster, seeing that it was already within a thousand steps, although the Uzbek horse bandits saw the muskets in the hands of the Central Plains soldiers, but they were fearless, only waiting for the impact in the high-speed movement, and cut off the heads of the Central Plains people with the shining sabers in their hands.

Who knew that the Chinese cavalry suddenly turned to rush towards the oblique stab, and the horse pistols in their hands shot in turn, which was the cavalry shooting formation, the difference was that the bow and arrow were replaced by ten fast guns.

The Uzbek bandits who were caught off guard fell one after another, but they were extremely fierce, the accuracy of mounted archery was not high, and the small casualties could not frighten them.

In the yellow sand desert, I saw the Chinese musketeers and Uzbek bandits divided into several teams, chasing and shooting.

In the muffled sound of "bang bang bang", blood splashed, from time to time Uzbeks fell from their horses, Aboud roared, leading his own soldiers to chase a cavalry team, he felt as if he was hitting cotton, he couldn't use any strength, seeing his own soldiers fall off their horses from time to time, Aboud knew that if he continued like this, his morale would plummet, and he would definitely lose.

Aboud whistled again and again, two Uzbek cavalry outflanked left and right, wrapped around a Chinese cavalry team, but did not want to suddenly "bang" gunshots, a Chinese cavalry on the left rushed in, galloped from the flank, the hundred-man team pulled a long line, and immediately the musketeers fired in turn, after a round, the Uzbek horse bandits on the left flank were almost slaughtered.

A group of Uzbeks finally swept the chasing cavalry and archery team into the formation, but they didn't want to bang loudly again, the Uzbeks fell off their horses one after another, and the Chinese cavalry each had an extra black six-thunder cannon in their hands.

Since the First Battle of Qinghai, Ye Zhao has ordered all cavalry to be equipped with two revolvers for close combat.

If you look at it from a bird's-eye view from the sky, you can clearly see that the second wave of the well-layered cavalry detachment is rolling over, and two miles away, the Chinese cavalry in a long row is slowly approaching.

Ye Zhao, but he rode a horse behind the cavalry lineup, looking at the battlefield of chasing and fighting in the yellow sand desert, Ye Zhao's eyes suddenly fell on Aboud who was roaring and chasing, with intuition, Ye Zhao knew that this must be the commander of the Uzbeks. At this time, Abud's personal army gradually caught up with a cavalry shooting, and a Mongolian cavalry team on the side killed, the snowy blades shining, high-speed impact, shouting, screaming, and the first white-knuckle battle finally broke out.

Ye Zhao watched this scene silently, the cavalry team had already dispersed, and the five thousand horsemen with powerful firepower had defeated more than 1,000 Uzbek horse bandits without pressure.

It was learned from the intelligence that the Kokand Khanate, which invaded the east, relied on nothing more than a musket formation and a brave cavalry, and today it is said that its spirit will be frustrated, and these ignorant Uzbek horse bandits seem to be brave, but that is because they do not know the height of the sky, and after a few battles, he must flee from the wind.

In the flying yellow sand, the Uzbeks finally gradually woke up, around, there were more and more Chinese cavalry, and the Uzbeks were divided into several groups, like a lonely boat drowning in the ocean, and the battlefield had long become a scene of musketeers chasing and slaughtering the remnants of the enemy.

Ye Zhao slowly pulled out the long knife from his waist, the narrow knife surface was shining, and a cold air rushed to his face.

Ye Zhao pointed to Abud, who was killing left and right in the yellow sand, and said, "Urden, how about I go and cut him?" ”

Ouerden was stunned for a moment, and before he could speak, he saw that Ye Zhao had already ridden out of the horse, and Ouerden was so frightened that his face turned white, and he shouted: "Master, master, no!" Afafu, who had been following Ye Zhao's side, was stunned, but he reacted faster than anyone else, and chased after him on horseback, and there was a sudden extra Xueliang scimitar in his hand. Immediately, Uerden and thirty Ouchi guards galloped out, closely following the two.

The hussars, with the exception of Afaf, were all in crimson double-breasted short coat officer uniforms, heroic and majestic, and extremely conspicuous on the battlefield, like a red whirlwind.

Ye Zhao's crotch dismounted as fast as lightning, and he was the first to rush into the enemy formation, and with a flash of the knife, blood splashed from the neck of the Uzbek in front of him, and he didn't hum, and fell to the ground.

At this time, Ye Zhao had already arrived in front of Abde's horse, waved the knife and slashed down, Aboud rushed left and right, suddenly saw a horse rushing to the ground, the knife light rolled up like a white practice, hurriedly waved the knife to the grid, "dang" sound, sparks burst out, Aboud only felt a numb wrist, an incomparable force attacked, the knife in his hand flew out, and then a scream, but Ye Zhao's long knife was still coming, a knife slashed on his shoulder blades, Aboud fell off the horse in response, fell a few heels in succession, blood poured out, he covered his shoulders and shouted pain.

Afaf Xueliang's scimitar flew, and a Uzbek knight staggered with two blades, and with a clanging sound, he had already walked out side by side with Ye Zhao, and out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of Ye Zhao slashing Aboud under the horse, and he was extremely surprised. She didn't know that Ye Zhao was just a brute force, and she relied on horses and fast people, who knew that he actually didn't have half a kung fu foundation? Back then, the matchmaker also said that he would teach him martial arts, Ye Zhao was too hard, and he was greedy for darkness when he got up early, so where was he willing to learn?

Following Ye Zhao and Afaf's horse, the cavalry team composed of Ouchi guards rushed out of Aboud's personal army, and with a clanging sound of steel knives, the red-clothed guards galloped over, and more than a dozen Uzbeks were cut off their horses, and then saw the boss fall off their horses, and the rest immediately fled in all directions.

On the battlefield, the one-sided slaughter is also gradually coming to an end.

Ye Tuwa rode to Ye Zhao's side, scratching his head, and didn't dare to say anything. Although I greatly admire the master's martial courage and invincibility, I don't dare to praise it, lest the master become addicted to it, and when he encounters a war, he will go into battle.

Although the guards such as Urden were afraid, the former dynasty established the country by force, and now it has attacked the wind of the founding of the previous dynasty to some extent, and he likes to rush and kill in battle formations, and he can only wake up at all times, and do not let the master be in danger.

The imperial warriors around had no such scruples, and when the languishing Aboud was carried to the emperor's horse, a tide of cheers immediately erupted all around, and the snow blades rose and fell, like a sea of cold blades that could not be seen at a glance.

Seeing such a mighty situation, Aboud's face turned pale, raised his head, and looked at Ye Zhao in disbelief.

"Little barbarian! When I saw the emperor, I didn't kneel and kowtow! "The speaker is a middle-aged man in his forties, his eye sockets are slightly sunken, and he is a Central Asian face at first sight, he is an Uzbek businessman, his name is Muhammad, he has been trading in Tiannan all the year round, but now he thinks of himself as Chinese. Originally, the Great Emperor Yanjing said that anyone who lives in the territory of China is Chinese, that is, the people of the Great Emperor, the Chinese people are distinguished by culture, not faces, and the heart is Chinese to the culture of the Central Plains, Uncle Muhammad deeply thought that he had seen the ceremonial traditions of the Central Plains, and he had long drawn a line with the barbarians of the Western Khanate.

Hearing that the person who cut him down was the emperor of China, Aboud was stunned, hurriedly turned over and knelt down, muttering something, his hands covering his shoulders were already full of blood.

Muhammad hurriedly translated: "He claims to be a close confidant of Lord Aguba, a nobleman of Andijan, who is now captured by the Great Emperor and is your prisoner, and he is willing to pay a thousand Moscow gold coins to redeem his surname." ”

Before Ye Zhao could speak, the guards came to report, and Zhang Mitai, the minister of Wushi, asked to surrender, and then the crowd was divided, Zhang Mitai walked over slowly, knelt down and kowtowed: "The criminal minister Zhang Mitai sees the emperor!" ”

On the city tower, Zhang Mitai could see clearly that the fierce Andijan cavalry had no power to fight back and was killed one by one. Zhang Mitai was surprised and panicked in his heart, but immediately, there was an indescribable emotion, the Central Plains armor soldiers were so advantageous, it made people want to be amazed.

Not long after, the imperial cavalry rushed to the city to call the city, saying that the emperor personally conquered, captured the enemy chieftain alive, and asked him to surrender quickly. Without saying a word, the garrison ran to open the city gate, and Zhang Mitai, led by a cavalry officer, came to see Emperor Shengde.

Ye Zhao glanced at him and nodded slightly: "Zhang Mitai, you have done a good job in the past few years, but you have also been wronged, and you have also suffered from you, I am late, I'm sorry for you!" ”

Zhang Mitai's eyes were blurred immediately, and he choked and kowtowed: "The emperor, the emperor, the minister, what a regret when the minister dies!" "I have doubts and go early, but I feel that there are thousands of hardships and sufferings, it turns out that the emperor knows it.

Mixed up by the guards, Zhang Mitai is still stretching out the sleeves of his robe to wipe his tears, these words, he is like rootless duckweed, struggling to support, every day I don't know if I can still see the rising sun, the kind of despair of being abandoned and helpless, now said, was swept away by the emperor's spring-like words, if it weren't for the demeanor, Zhang Mitai even wanted to cry.

On the other side, Aboud was still muttering something.

Ye Zhao waved his hand and said, "Tell him, I'll cut off his head now, and ask him if he is convinced!" ”

Muhammad was stunned for a moment, then turned to Aboud and said.

As if struck by lightning, Abd argued loudly: "Emperor, I have cattle and sheep and gold, you can't kill me." ”

Ye Zhao didn't bother to look at him, and said: "Killing people pays for life, in my eyes, you are the same as pigs, dogs and livestock in my territory, there is no difference." Even if you kill a chicken in my territory, you should pay for it! Make a gesture and say, "Cut off his head!" ”

Immediately, two guards dragged him up, and Aboud cried and howled, and who paid attention to him.

There were still several captives such as Shah Rukh who were pressed down and kneeling in front of Ye Zhaoma, and their faces turned pale with fright, but they didn't have any money to ransom themselves. But Muhammad also turned the words, killing a chicken has to pay for his life? Shah Rukh almost fainted in fright.

Afaf laughed when he heard Ye Zhao's words, and hurriedly lowered his head, saying in his heart that he was really arrogant and domineering, but he was quite relieved.

Ye Zhao looked at Shah Rukh and the other captives who were trembling in front of the horse, and said, "Leave one to go back and deliver the letter, and the rest will all be hanged." ”

He pointed at Shah Rukh and said, "It's up to you, leave you with a dog's life, and go to Andijan and Kokand to tell your Khan that none of the ugly people who have come to China want to go back!" I, China, officially declare war on you Kokand Khanate! ”

The captives wept bitterly and begged for help, and Shah Rukh kowtowed again and again, muttering, "Yes, yes, the little one must have passed on the words of the Great Emperor." If I said that I didn't know the consequences of "China declaring war on your khanate" before, but now in the war, seeing the benefits of China's armor, Shah Rukh was stunned and angered this oriental beast, and he was afraid of endless disasters.

In fact, even now, Shah Rukh has not really understood the terrible meaning of "China's declaration of war on your khanate", and in today's world, at least in the Far East, few countries can afford to be "declared" by China.

Ye Zhao then ordered Ye Tuwa to lead the cavalry into the city, pacify the people everywhere with Zhang Mitai, and go to the villages and towns to post notices and so on.

He took Ouchi's guards back to Whitewater City (Aksu), because he suddenly thought about something and couldn't hold it back.
