Chapter 380: Order

At noon two days after the Xia envoy fled, Hassan, the guard at the city gate north of Bukhara, yawned boredly, although Prime Minister Utbi was furious because he found out that his favorite concubine had fled with the Orientals, and did not dare to close the city gate at will, now the Turkic Seljuks in the city were making a fierce noise, and the Sogdians and Zoroastrians who were implicated because of the Xia mission were also about to rebound, and if one move was not right, there was a danger of a popular uprising. A caravan wearing Arab robes approached the city gate, Hassan had a smile on his face, and stepped forward, these caravans would always give some benefit, suddenly, his smile froze on his face, and a short knife pierced his lower abdomen deeply, Shi Yuanguang put his arm around Hassan's shoulder, as if two familiar people were still talking, seeing that the robe of the Chengying camp had arrived at the entrance of the city gate, he put down the body that was gradually cooling, and the alarm of "enemy attack!" sounded through the city of Bukhara.

After the Chengying battalion took control of the city gate, more than 4,000 iron horsemen unceremoniously rushed into the city, killing those who resisted along the way, while the sword and shield battalion and the Mo knife battalion of the Flower Hat Army followed behind, and went straight to the royal palace of the Samanid kingdom. The thunderous sound of horses' hooves sounded again in the streets of Bukhara, "The Easterners have returned!" The palace guards, realizing who the enemy was, began to hurriedly gather into small groups of 100 horsemen, and the resistance of 1,000 horsemen was always broken by the Xia army that took the lead in one fell swoop, and the Turks and Seljuks remembered the cruelty of the legendary Xia army to the Black Khanate, and began to flee in panic, and the most powerful one who was clamoring at the gate of the mission that day ran the fastest.

After the thunder, the restless people either fled from the city or stayed at home trembling and awaited the judgment of fate, and the Sogdians and Zoroastrians in the city began to come out to maintain order, and the prime minister Utbi with more than a thousand guards encircled the Samanid king bin Mansur and occupied a strong palace castle to resist stubbornly.

Zhang Zhongyao immediately ordered the Flower Hat Army to make all kinds of siege equipment, bed crossbows, and stone throwing machines. The siege of the palace castle was seen as a demonstration of the strength of the Xia army, which projected all the fire oil they carried and a large amount of flammable materials that the Sogdians in the city helped to collect, and then fired a large number of rockets, and in the panic of the defenders, the Flowerhats easily broke through the castle and killed King Ben Mansur, Prime Minister Utbi, and the entire Samanid princes and nobles who remained in Bukhara in the melee.

Outside the mansion was blazing, and the servants in Utby's mansion had already fled, and Cornise hesitated for a long time with a glass full of mercury, and finally was ruthless and wanted to feed it to the mouth of the child in the cradle. "You'll regret it forever. A voice sounded outside the door, Wu Yingying walked in, Kang Lisi was stunned, raised her head, her eyes were already full of tears, she trembled and said, "He is the son of the enemy." "He's your son too. Wu Yingying said in a deep voice, snatching the wine glass from her hand, "My woman can't live in remorse forever. He had already agreed to Kangqu Dagan's request to make Kang Lisi the princess of the Xia Dynasty, and splashed the mercury with his hand, "Let Kang Ke Khotan take him to the Central Plains and give it to a well-off family without heirs, so that he can live the life of an ordinary Song person." Cornise bit her lip, nodded feebly, and sat down on the floor.

Two days later, Wu Yingying left the Flower Hat Army to assist Zhang Zhongyao in governing Bukhara, and he led the Dragon's Tooth Army along the north bank of the Nami River to Samarkand, the news went faster than the army, and when he was still more than two hundred miles away from Samarkand, the morale of the Samanid army had collapsed.

"The noble Bukhara has fallen," "the king has also been captured," "the great Utby has been killed." "The Xia people have killed all those who resist," "They will kill all the Seljuks," "Whoever sacrifices the head of Iprahim to the great king will be rewarded with a hundred bags full of gold," "The Persians and Sogdians of Samarkand have disobeyed, and they want to take revenge on our Turks, and the Turks of Bukhara have been killed." "The rumors were all sorted, and the attention of the Seljuk Turks and the Turkic Janissaries was completely off the Xia army across the river, and one night the three sons of the Seljuk chief, Mikael, Musa, and Israel, retreated south with their men, and they did not dare to go back to Bukhara to find their relatives, but went all the way south, crossed the Wuhu River, and then migrated westward, where they re-robbed women and property, and formed their own tribes.

After the Seljuks fled, the Turkic Janissaries and Khorasan cavalry also began to unsettle and demanded a retreat. "You cowards, cowards!" said Iprahim, the commander of the Praetorian Guard and governor of Khorasan, as his eyes widened and his face twitched and he could no longer speak, and he looked back with hatred as his once most loyal subordinate pulled out his blood-stained scimitar from his back.

Upon hearing the news of the flight of the Samanid army, Xingu immediately pursued it with hussars, Xie Fu, and high-hoofed troops, and pursued them until the Wuhushui did not stop, capturing a large number of Turkic tribes, cattle, sheep and livestock that fled along the way. The army of the Samanid dynasty in the south surrendered to Adulyadej, the king of the kings of the Baiyi dynasty, and Wu Yingying divided the territory of the Samanid dynasty with him with Wuhushui as the boundary.

After this battle, the vast area south of the Broken Leaf River, north of the Wuhu River, and east of Bukhara were all under the control of the Xia State, and Wu Yingying set up the Anxi Military Division to command the Flower Hat Army, the Relief Army, and the Iron Bone Army, and appointed Zhang Zhongyao as the head of the Anxi marching army, passing through the Luohe River. Canonized Khamqudagan as the king of Kangju who ruled Samarkand, and the Chamber of Commerce effectively ran the municipal government and paid for the maintenance of a city guard.

Because Huaxia has a shallow foundation here, in order to temporarily gather the hearts of the people in the Hezhong area, Wu Yingying specially set up a Tiger Wing Army, and absorbed the warriors and heirs of the nobles of all ethnic groups in the Hezhong area into this new army, because the Tiger Wing Army will leave the river with Wu Yingying to be stationed in Dunhuang, so this army is regarded as the proton army of the nobles in the river. The descendant of the noble Tang family, the beloved son-in-law of the king of kings Adulyade, the only disciple of His Majesty King Xia, Cai Lang, the former military captain of the Jiao Rong Military Academy, served as the commander of the Tiger Wing Army. It was late at night, and Wu Yingying was still weighing the list of officers of the Tiger Wing Army, his forehead was deeply wrinkled, and he rubbed his temples vigorously.
