Chapter 686: A Big Victory
"Great Khan, there are three more days to reach Kashgar. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć In the midst of the chaotic march, a general hurried to Qadir Khan to report that the arrival from distant Bukhara had exhausted the army, and that he was now eager to enter the city of Kashgar to rest.
Qadir Khan looked at the scattered army with dissatisfaction, but there was no way, these troops were not all soldiers of the Qarakhanid, and a considerable part of them were volunteers from various kingdoms of the true gods, and the reason why they came to Kashgar was to spread the faith of the true gods, and they did not completely obey the command of Kadir Khan.
"Send more cavalry to the front to find out the news, I think the heretics should already know that we are coming." Qadir Khan instructed that in his opinion, the enemy he would face this time might not be strong, and if they really had the strength, they should have attacked Barasagon or Bakhana a long time ago, and why did they need to retreat in the city of Kashgar?
Let this victory lay the foundation for me to ascend to the supreme throne of the Qarakhanid, Qadir Khan said silently in his heart, Nasser has defeated the Samanid Dynasty, and now he still firmly occupies the supreme throne of the Great Khan, which makes him a little unwilling, but as long as he breaks through Kashgar, opens the road to the east, and then gathers more jihadist warriors to conquer Khotan, then he will establish a feat that is not lost to Nasser, and can also recruit more soldiers from Khotan, Gaochang Uighurs and other places to strengthen himself.
With such a beautiful thought, Qadir Khan continued to lead the army forward, and Mushardin, who was in charge of guarding not far in front, galloped back, "Great Khan, there are infidel troops in front of you, and it looks like they are going to fight us here. ā
"Oh? How many people are there? Can you see what they're branding? Qadir Khan sat up straight and beckoned the whole army to stop for the time being, and there was a commotion among the soldiers around him, who had become very impatient with the march alone these days, and had long wanted to fight with the Khotanese coalition army.
"There were about 20,000 men, and they were under the banner of Khotan, and the leader of the troops should be Yuchi Sinhala Rama, the king of the pagans." In order to attract their attention, Biler changed his banner under Li You's orders.
"So it should be their main force?" Qadir Khan was really fooled, only 20,000 horses, I have more than 40,000 warriors here, let's use their blood to wash away the shame of Arslan Khan's defeat, Qadir Khan made a decision, "The whole army will start to rest and attack later." ā
As the order spread, tens of thousands of warriors of the Qarakhanid Kingdom cheered in unison, and it seemed to them that these infidels would undoubtedly fall victim to their scimitars. As they had expected, the whole army hastened after resting, and it was not long before they ran into Bilgo's army, and as soon as the two sides came into contact, they were in a rout, and many of the enemy seemed to be frightened, leaving behind hundreds of corpses and fleeing in disarray.
Ha! Arslan just lost to these people? The victory made Kadir Khan forget about the danger, laughed mercilessly at Arslan in his heart, and immediately led a large army in pursuit, of course, he did not forget to be on guard, and hundreds of cavalry rushed to the front, responsible for slowing down Bilgo's escape, and checking whether there were any ambushes on both sides of the road.
But the defeated enemy, in order to make himself faster, kept pulling out the mess from his body and throwing it back, and throwing his armor, weapons, silk, gold and silver to the ground, these things soon attracted the attention of the pursuers, who no longer paid attention to the situation on both sides of the road, but desperately pursued the defeated soldiers, hoping to get more out of them.
The chase lasted for half an hour, and the defeated army in front seemed to have exhausted their strength, and the speed of escape became slower and slower, and Mushardin, who was leading the army in front, thought that it was time to reap the fruits of victory, so he sent men to rule Qadir Khan, and then the whole army increased the speed of the march.
More than 40,000 soldiers rushed forward in a disorderly manner, lest they would grab less of what they had stolen, and no one would notice the anomalies on either side of the road. Captain Chi Sinhala Rama hid behind the hillside, the muzzles of the horses were gagged, the hooves of the horses were wrapped in sackcloth to avoid making a sound, and the soldiers sat silently on the ground, waiting for the signal from the top of the mountain.
The sound of horses' hooves in the distance was getting closer and closer, and the captain Chi Sinhala and the soldiers slowly stood up and pulled the reins of the horses, and soon the signal from the top of the hillside was that the enemy had fallen into the encirclement.
"All the troops are attacking!" Captain Chi Sinhala Rama pulled out the sword at his waist, turned on his horse and rushed to the front, behind him were the Khotanese soldiers who had been angry for a long time.
The pursuing Qarakhanid army suddenly stopped its tracks, turned around and resisted their attack, while loud shouts of slaughter rang out on both sides of the road, and countless soldiers rushed down the hillside with shouts, dividing the unsuspecting Qarakhanid army and then slaughtering them.
The Qarakhanid army was in a panic, and Qadir Khan fell from heaven to hell in an instant, and he did not expect that victory and defeat would change so quickly.
"The enemy has fallen into the encirclement, and now it seems that it is our turn." Li You, who was monitoring the battlefield dynamics nearby with the Guiyi Army, put his mind at ease, the enemy's reaction was not at all unexpected by him, and many spare means were no longer useful, so it was better to take the Guiyi Army to help them.
Twenty thousand soldiers under the leadership of Li You rushed along the avenue towards the enemy, and Bilgo, who received the signal, gave them the way to attack, and before Mushardin, who had just felt a little less pressure, had no time to rejoice, he saw a stronger army rushing towards him, and the leading general was holding a spear and stabbing him in the chest.
Mushardin didn't have time to react, and subconsciously raised his scimitar to block the shot, Li You's hands trembled, and the body of the Liquan gun broke Mushardin's scimitar, and then stabbed into his wide open chest, and his body was picked up with both hands and thrown into the Qarakhanid army.
The death of the leader greatly weakened the morale of the Qarakhanid soldiers, and they lost the courage to resist, turned around and fled to the rear, but unfortunately premeditation and flight and rout are completely different, and the fact that Bilgol was able to escape their pursuit just now does not mean that they can do the same.
"Catch up with me, and make sure everyone stays here." Li Youke didn't want to give them a chance to make a comeback, so the 20,000 men broke through the enemy's formation like a wedge and pointed directly at Qadir Khan's central army.
