"Cavalry! It's the cavalry of the Xia people!" Xun

To the south of Kochikala, the Xia cavalry quickly bypassed the city and ran into the civilians who were fleeing through the city gates.

After a tragic battle, many civilians still escaped from the bloody city gate, but what they saw after escaping was not the imaginary freedom, but the fierce Xia cavalry that suddenly appeared from the other side!

Seeing the Xia cavalry appear, the civilians on the road suddenly screamed and fled in all directions, and they couldn't care about the big bags on their bodies, so they threw their luggage directly on the street, pulling their relatives around them to run desperately in the opposite direction.

There were also people who turned around in a panic and ran in the direction of the city gate, they didn't care that Kochikala was likely to be slaughtered after being occupied by the Xia army, and they only thought that it would be safe to return to the city.

However, they soon noticed that the Xia cavalry did not pay attention to them, and Feng Zhengguang, the commander of the leading cavalry brigade, squinted his eyes at the scattered civilians who fled, and then looked at the long black dot on the distant horizon, thinking thoughtfully.

"You take a few men to capture a few barbarians and ask them about the situation in the city." He suddenly summoned his lieutenant and commanded the other party, "I think even civilians can escape, nine times out of ten in the city they really escaped, if the big fish doesn't run away, we will catch up."

The adjutant clenched his fists in response, and then ordered a few people to rush towards the scattered civilians, those civilians saw this and ran desperately away, but even if the two legs were broken, they couldn't run four legs, they were soon caught up by the Xia cavalry, and the adjutant who knew the Khiva language asked them a few words, and then directly let them go, and then turned back to the military formation. Xun

As soon as he returned to Feng Zhengguang, the adjutant reported directly: "Brigade Marshal, as you said, the Barbarian Chief Ti has fled to the south, but their convoy has dozens of carriages and is very slow, if we catch up at this time, we will be able to catch up before tonight."

"And what about their guards?" Feng Zhengguang did not rush to order the pursuit, and then asked.

"I have asked a few people, and their accounts are different, but what is certain is that the number of troops around the barbarian chieftain will not exceed four thousand at most." The adjutant continued.

The number of troops was no more than 4,000.

Feng Zhengguang's heart moved slightly, although the strength of the cavalry brigade attached to the sixth town could not compare to those independent cavalry brigades, they also had more than 4,000 people, if they were placed in the field, they would not be able to defeat the elite Sultan forbidden army, they could delay them, and it was okay to buy time for their own infantry to arrive.

Thinking of this, Feng Zhengguang immediately made a decision, and then sent someone back to report the matter to Mu Tianbo, asking Mu Tianbo to send troops to catch up with them, and then, as soon as he gave an order, the cavalry brigade chased after the direction of the Khiva royal family's escape.

…… Xun

No matter how the cavalry brigade acted, on the other side, Mu Tianbo divided part of his forces to continue to clean up the battlefield, crossed the Jiezhan River with the main force, and swaggered into Kochikala City under the welcome of Mu Zhongxian's Fourth Brigade.

Kochikala was quickly brought under control after the Fourth Brigade entered the city, and the ruffians who were still wantonly doing evil were shot directly in the streets, and the city gates, main roads, and neighborhoods near the governor's palace were all controlled by the Xia army.

As for the civilian population...... Mu Zhongxian did not deliberately instruct the massacre of civilians, so many civilians who did not escape the city took the opportunity to flee into the streets and alleys in all directions, hiding in places they thought were safe, and waiting for the final verdict like the rest of the city.

After Mu Tianbo entered the city, he also received a report from Feng Zhengguang, and before he could speak, Mu Zhongxian stepped out of the queue first and took the initiative to ask Ying to take over this task.

Mu Tianbo considered that he and the soldiers of the Fourth Brigade had not been rested and were not suitable to continue to participate in the pursuit, so he just wanted to refuse him, but Guan Qixun, the commander of the Fourth Brigade, stood up in time, he knelt on the ground and prayed to Mu Tianbo:

"Dadu Hu, the culprit who made the tragic death of Qihou and the generals of my Fourth Brigade is about to be caught, how can our Fourth Brigade stand idly by, whether it is to avenge the tragic death of the generals, or to appease the anger of the officers and soldiers of my Fourth Brigade, please also ask for the permission of Dadu Protector to continue the pursuit by the officers and men of my Fourth Brigade!"

Seeing that his attitude was sincere and sincere, Mu Tianbo only sighed, but agreed to their request and allowed the Fourth Brigade to continue the pursuit. Xun

After Mu Zhongxian and Guan Qixun left as they wished, the commander of the First Brigade who entered the city with Mu Tianbo came up at this time and asked Dadu Hu: "Dadu Hu, now that Kochi Kala has been pacified by our army, do the barbarians in the city still ......

He deliberately did not say the latter words, but raised his hand in front of his throat and made a motion to wipe his neck.

Mu Tianbo thought for a few seconds, and in these few seconds, the lives of tens of thousands of civilians in the city who did not flee were all at the heart of his thoughts.

After thinking for a few seconds, Mu Tianbo still shook his head and said, "Don't be in a hurry to decide, if they can capture Khiva Sultan and the others, the people of Kochikala can still get a way out, but if not, then continue to slaughter the city."

The brigade commander clenched his fists and agreed.

……

Under the tireless pursuit of the cavalry brigade, at dusk that day, at the foot of the towering Khazarmasjed mountains, the Xia cavalry finally caught up with the Khiva royal convoy that was desperately fleeing south. Xun

The Khiva royal convoy also quickly spotted the pursuers behind him, and after listening to the soldier's report, Ishak, who was walking in the front, quickly turned his head to look back, and by the dim light of the dusk, he could still vaguely see that a cavalry with the battle flag of the Xia army was chasing towards this side.

"Damn, how did the Xia people's cavalry chase after me!"

He cursed in a low voice, and then glanced at the nearby mountains, knowing that he would not be able to cross safely without throwing off the pursuers behind him, so he had to order the convoy to stop advancing, and the army guarding the royal family took up a position in the face of the pursuers.

While the soldiers were in formation, Baturon also rode over, he glanced at the carriage where the Sultan was with some uneasiness, then withdrew his gaze, and said to the prince, "Your Highness Ishaq, our soldiers are tired from hurrying, and it may be a little difficult for them to face the charge of the Xia cavalry."

"Then what choice do we have, do we surrender directly?" Ishak asked rhetorically.

"I mean, you get out of here with the wagon, and I'll keep it here with my soldiers until you're safe." Baturon said in a deep voice.

"Baturun, you ......" Xun

Ishaq looked at the general with some surprise, who had been loyal to the royal family for decades.

"Your Highness, you are the last hope for this country, and it is Baturun's duty to protect you from it." Baturon said in a serious tone, "In any case, as long as we can successfully reach Isfahan, the capital of the Persians, and receive the assistance of the Persians, there is hope that Khiva will be restored."

Seeing Baturun's resolute attitude, coupled with the fact that Ishaq himself did not have the firm determination to fight to the death here, his heart was only entangled for a few seconds before he had an idea.

"Okay." He said, "Baturun, the royal family will remember your sacrifice, and when Khiva is restored, we will definitely reward your family."

After saying that, Ishak rode his horse to the carriage carrying his father, Sultan Anusha, and his mother, and without asking his father's opinion, he only took a dozen knights of the Praetorian Army as escorts, escorting several carriages carrying royal relatives and continued to gallop away.

Although the sky was a little dark at this time, Feng Zhengguang still saw the carriages that were about to run away, and he instantly thought of the possibility behind him, where could he sit still now, slapped his thigh, and shouted: "Brothers, the barbarian chieftain wants to escape, can we let them escape after we have worked so hard to chase them here?"

"Nope!" Xun

The cavalry roared loudly.

"Then follow me, crush those stubborn barbarians, and capture the barbarian chieftain alive!"

Feng Zhengguang shouted loudly, and rushed out on horseback.

Under his leadership, the soldiers of the cavalry brigade attached to the sixth town all roared and charged towards the Khiva army formation, and the formation of four thousand cavalry running at the same time made the ground tremble slightly, and the dust raised under the trampling of the horses' hooves quickly covered their military formation, revealing only the faintly visible Xia army battle flag!

"Array! Prepare to meet the enemy!"

Sending off the royal convoy,

Under his command, the Uzbek infantrymen armed with spears and square shields set their shields on the ground, the soldiers in the front row bent their bodies and raised their spears diagonally through the gap between the shields, while the soldiers in the back raised their spears and rested them on the shields in the front rows, hoping to resist the cavalry charge.

Behind the shields, the archers also nervously took several arrows out of their quivers and inserted them in the soft ground under their feet to make them easier to reach, and they placed their arrows on the bowstring under the orders of the officers, and the bows and arrows were held diagonally in the air, waiting for an order to be fired. Xun

Rumble –

The movement of the four thousand cavalry running at the same time became louder and louder, and as the distance closed, even the heavy wooden boxes loaded on the carriages behind the Khiva army began to tremble, and the soldiers felt the shaking of the ground under their feet, and everyone's faces could not help but become ugly.

"Shoot the arrows—"

Finally, just as the Xia cavalry rushed into the range of the recurve bow, the Khiva officer let out a hissing roar, and nearly a thousand arrows immediately rose from the sky above the military formation, covering the sky and the sun, and the sharp breaking sound of the arrows flying with them smashed into the Xia cavalry like a torrential rain.

In the next second, the people turned on their horses, and some of the Xia cavalry who rushed to the front were shot off their horses by arrows, or the horses were hit by several arrows, and they fell forward with a mournful roar, but the rest of the cavalry were not afraid at all, and they continued to run forward with the arrows falling from the sky over the bodies of the robes and war horses that fell to the ground in front of them.

The distance of 100 meters was quickly shortened under the high-speed gallop of the cavalry, and when the distance between the two sides was only 50 meters, the Xia cavalry in the front row quickly raised their carbines and fired a fierce salvo at the Uzbek infantry who were waiting for them.

The flames burst out, and the deafening gunfire rang out, and the Uzbek infantry, who had been waiting for the battle, was as if they had been hit by an invisible fist in the air, and many soldiers were immediately shot and fell backwards, and the projectiles easily pierced the shields they were protecting in front of them, and tore through their armor and burrowed into the flesh and blood, stirring in their bodies. Xun

After firing a volley, the front cavalry decisively put the carbine into the pouch on the horse's belly and drew the slender saber at the other end, but they still kept their bodies close to the horse, leaving the shooting vision to the robe behind them.

The Cossack cavalry behind them also raised their guns and fired, and this second volley once again brought heavy losses to the Khiva army, and the infantry shield array that had been waiting for it was broken apart in an instant, and before the Khiva soldiers could react, the Cossack cavalry in the front row had already straightened up again, raised their sabers, and roared to launch the most violent charge!

Like a red tide hitting a crumbling, the Xia cavalry crashed head-on into the disintegrating Uzbek shield formation, and the Uzbek soldiers were desperately knocked down and knocked over by their horses, and then they were swept under the horses' hooves and trampled into a puddle of meat sauce glued to the ground.

And those soldiers who were hit by the war horse were also miserable, the impact of the high-speed charging war horse was like being hit head-on by a car, those soldiers were directly knocked out, like a kite with a broken string flew out of the air for a few meters, and fell heavily to the ground, their chests were sunken, bleeding, and only a faint breath was left!

Despair!

There is no other way to describe this catastrophic scene than despair!

Under the charge of the Xia cavalry, the Khiva army, which had wanted to resist for a long time, was directly dispersed, and the whole line was routed, most of the Uzbek infantry fell under the close range salvo of two rounds of carbines, and the broken front was then trampled by the war horses, even the bravest soldiers would not hesitate to turn around and flee when they encountered this scene. Xun

"Kill!"

The Xia cavalry roared angrily, slashing the slender swords in their hands at the Khiva soldiers who were caught up by them, the Khiva soldiers were like weak lambs, slaughtered by the Xia army who turned into hungry wolves, no one thought of resisting, everyone was bent on escaping, until they were caught up and died under the enemy's sword!

Oh no, to be precise, there was one warrior who chose to resist - and that was Baturun.

Baturun was brave in the last moments of his life

Dare to control the war horse, take the initiative to charge towards the Xia cavalry, but his bravery did not bring him a different way to die, a saber cleanly cut off his head, after the two horses staggered, the war horse carried a headless corpse that was still bleeding and rushed out, until the headless corpse lost its balance and fell from the horse.

The Khiva army, which was guarding the royal family, was easily defeated by the Xia cavalry.

After defeating these enemies who stood in their way, the Xia cavalry did not stop for the dozens of carts full of wealth, and they continued to chase in the direction of the Khiva Sultan fleeing under the leadership of Feng Zhengguang.

The battle lasted less than ten minutes, so after they chased out, they quickly caught up with the royal carriage that was desperately fleeing. Xun
