Late at night, in the big tent of the commander of the enemy army stationed in the Korla barracks, Agubo asked the guards to summon Haigula, who had just returned to the Korla barracks.

Because the conspiracy to kidnap Jinhua Hatun to force the Turks to surrender on their knees and take hundreds of kilometers of the march channel "without bloodshed" did not succeed, the drama he worked hard and carefully planned came to an abrupt end! Although Kubli and Kedaquel and Aqimuhan were taught a hard lesson in the front, they still have no aftermath of anger.

In his heart, he is still puzzled! I can't imagine how a weak and helpless woman can be so tough? What kind of force is supporting her?

The current situation is truly self-defeating! felt that this seamless "chain plan" had evolved into a "desperate chess" that was difficult to solve. This caused Aguba's mind to start to get a little confused.

Now, he wants his minions to talk about what to do next? I especially want to hear some of Haigula's ideas, because this first army is his core and main force after all, and this son is his "first general"; Moreover, Khairgula commanded Zabtaiji and the Khan's Guard, who were chasing and killing Turgut, and had officially engaged the Turghut cavalry.

Kuburi was the first to express his opinion: "Now that the Third Army has returned to Kucha after the wheel, those anti-people should stop. We will have no more problems in the rear and supply lines in the future. However, several legions needed to be replenished with soldiers, horses, and military rations...... In order to take Ili and Urumqi, the First and Fourth Army Corps must ensure sufficient troops and sufficient military supplies......"

Aguba interrupted Kubli and asked Bigg: "Where is the second batch of arms provided by the British Empire this year?" ”

Bigg replied excitedly: "A month ago, I arrived at the British Empire munitions transfer station at the port of Mumbai, India. It should be almost Kashgar now, and you will be able to reach Korla next month. Along with them, there was also a second batch of military instructors and 150 mercenaries - these are all newly retired special forces elites, with high military literacy and strong combat effectiveness......

"The other good news is that the Kashgar Arms Factory, built with the aid of the British Empire, is now capable of producing shells for the world's most advanced British-made rifles, the Enfield rifle and the 76 mm Armstrong field gun!

"There is also good news: 200 skilled workers and co-operatives from munitions factories on British soil and bases in India have arrived, and they have brought with them a large amount of vital equipment. The plan to open an arms factory in Korla will be implemented immediately. It won't be long before rifle cartridges and artillery shells will be produced in Korla...... However, it is up to you to replenish the soldiers and the food and grass for the war horses. ”

Kedaquel was scolded by his father because he was scolded by Jinhua Hatun during the "negotiation", and his heart was very angry! Hell-bent on putting the Turghut tribe to death as soon as possible. He also did not hide his point of view, and said bluntly:

"I propose that since the Turghut tribes are unwilling to provide horses and military supplies, they should send their Mongol cavalry to fight with us. In this way, it will not only replenish the troops, but also consume the strength of the Mongols......"

The scheming Kuburi hurriedly waved his hand against it and said, "This won't work. If they can submit, it will certainly be a good move; But so far, Mongolian Hatun has not had the slightest intention of surrendering. At this time, their cavalry is in danger of causing great disaster on the battlefield! The ancient Chinese had a saying: If you are not of my race, your heart will be different! Besides, if our stoppage and assassination are not successful, it is uncertain what their reaction will be to King Buyan Khan once he returns to his tribe from Peking and learns that we have kidnapped his Hatun......"

Cruckel glared and said, "When you get to the battlefield, you can't help them!" We are more than capable of controlling them......"

Haigula couldn't sit still, and said, "I also think that it is not a good move to recruit the cavalry of the Turghut tribe now. Riding an untamed horse is bound to get into trouble...... In that case, we will not only have to deal with the enemy in front of us, but also guard against the Mongols around us, and the gains outweigh the losses! …… Besides, not only have we kidnapped their Hatun, but we have already gone on a killing spree in their tribe! It is absolutely impossible for them to be at our mercy anymore! ”

When Kedaquel heard that this brother of his had something to say, as if he was accusing him of not using force when kidnapping Jinhua Hatun, he felt very uncomfortable! Loud Talk:

"Whoever can get their Hatun here without firing a single shot, what the hell! ……”

Seeing that everyone was arguing, and worried that the endless argument might affect the determination to act as soon as possible, Bigg hurriedly stated his opinion:

"I warn you! Hong Xiuquan's Taiping Heavenly Kingdom and peasant uprisings in various places, including Xinjiang, had exhausted the entire Qing Dynasty. Now is the time when the Qing Empire is at its weakest, and if we push it at this time, it may fall forever...... Now is also the most influential moment for the development of the British Empire on the Qing Dynasty; There is no better time for the British Empire to support you. You should seize this opportunity to attack decisively, because strategic opportunities will not always exist......"

Aguba nodded sinisterly.

Bigg continued: "I want to remind you too! Conquest and crossing the fiefdoms of the Mongols, and then directly attacking the heart of Xinjiang, Ili and Urumqi, is the most direct, effective and ideal course of action to quickly conquer the whole of Xinjiang...... Fearing that the return of the Mongol Khan from Peking to the Horde would be detrimental to our actions, I have sent another telegram to Sir Aliguo, the British Empire's Minister to the Great Qing Dynasty, asking him to take the necessary measures to trap the Mongol Khan in Peking or eliminate it altogether......

However, the minister replied that the murder of a Mongol khanate would inevitably anger the Qing court, cause diplomatic disputes and public criticism, and affect the interests of the British Empire in China. He could only use indirect means to delay the return of the Mongol khanate to Xinjiang. So, we should seize the moment and act quickly! ”

"The conquest of the Turk territory did not require waiting for the British to be munitions, nor was it necessary to replenish the troops," said Khdakor Khakël. Now that their large camp has been breached, the only ones that may be able to stop our attack are a few passes in the Kaidu River valley and the Barentai gorge, so there is nothing to worry about! ”

Kubri said with some apprehension: "You can't underestimate these two valleys. The length of these two valleys is more than 200 kilometers, especially in the Kaidu River valley, which is a little shorter, and there are no smooth roads for artillery trucks and baggage vehicles to pass...... Moreover, there are dozens of passes in the two valleys, all of which are easy to defend and difficult to attack...... In the valley, the cavalry of the brigade could not spread, the artillery could not go up, and we could not give full play to our advantages, and the strong attack would inevitably result in heavy casualties...... Consuming too much military power on the entry channel is a taboo for soldiers! ……”

Haigula had long been aware of the importance of conquering the Turghut tribes and opening up the passage to Ili and Urumqi. However, he always believed in his heart that it was Kubri and Kedakel who were incompetent and failed to hit the vital point to force Jinhua Hatun to submit; And going out on your own is definitely not the current situation. He got up and said:

"Father Khan! Now the war horses and grain and grass are very depleted, and getting war horses and military supplies from the Mongols is a top priority! …… I'm going to meet this Golden Flower Hatun now, and let her understand the full price to be paid against our 'Khunfu Khanate', and the infinite scenery that will come with submitting to us!" If she is made worse off than dead, there may be an unexpected gain...... There was a gunshot just now, and I went to see what was going on in the city? ”

Khdakor was very unconvinced when he heard this, and said stupidly: "Said has already led the patrol into the city, and he will deal with something!" …… Besides, even if there is any major matter, it should be handled by me, the chief officer in Korla, right? ……”

Aguba waved his hand and said, "Don't fight! Let Hygura give it a try...... Remember! Whatever means are taken, as long as she submits, our goal will be achieved. In this way, we can get the horses and military supplies we urgently need; It can also cross the Mongols' garrison without blood, directly attack the command center of the Great Qing State in Xinjiang, and quickly conquer the entire Xinjiang! ”

Bigg nodded his head in appreciation, adding:

"The Korla munitions factory that we are about to build will need a large amount of copper and iron metal as raw materials in the future, and the nearby copper ore and iron ore are in the mountains controlled by the Mongols. Only if they truly submit to the 'Hongfu Khanate' or completely conquer them will we be able to exploit these precious mineral resources." Otherwise, even if an arms factory is built, without these raw materials, it will not be possible to produce and work! ”

Aguba asked Hygura, "Do you understand?" ”

Hygura nodded and replied, "Understood! ”

Aguba continued: "It means a lot to force the Turgots to submit to us! This is the most urgent thing at the moment. Go for it! ”

Hygura responded, turning and walking out of the manager's tent. He led a group of men and horses out of the barracks and went in the direction of the west gate of Korla City.

Jiang Bakun stayed nearby to scout the cavalry, watching every move of the enemy barracks. Seeing that Haigula had led his men and horses out of the barracks and was about to enter the city through the West Gate, he hurriedly turned around and mounted his horse and galloped away in the direction of the Tiemen Pass Pass......

On the high slope of the Tiemenguan Pass, Zhao Tiefeng, Li Jie Kundu, Jiangba Kundu, and Qiqige, looking at the sparkling Korla City from afar, anxiously waiting for the signal sent by Sanji Meiren and Battle, with an extremely heavy heart!

Qiqige's heart became more and more anxious, and she muttered to herself, "Why haven't you seen the signal yet?" Could it be that Hatton was not found? …… What can I do? ”

Zhao Tiefeng's expression was grim, he took out his pocket watch and glanced at it, the time was already half past one in the middle of the night.

Jiang Bakun felt that the time for the rendezvous was coming, and said to Zhao Tiefeng and Li Jiekun:

"It's almost time! Prepare yourself and continue here waiting for the signal from the city. I'll go to the edge of the city first, and then I'll keep an eye on that Kokand military post in the 'Strange Woods' not far from here! ”

"Then bring more people and horses, and take care of the situation if there is a situation!" Li Jiekun said.

"No! Now the situation in the city is not clear, try not to alarm the Kokand people from outside the city at this time. Just now, Sayyid, the chief of Aguba's guard, entered the city through the east gate. He used to patrol the city in the middle of the night and never went into the city. Saeed thinks this guy is very alarmed, and now entering the city is probably related to Sanji Meiren and their whereabouts. However, Sanjimeren and Battle can handle it......"

At this time, the reconnaissance cavalry monitoring the enemy barracks and the West City Gate arrived and reported the news that Haigula was about to enter the city through the West City Gate with some of his men.

Jiang Bakun hurriedly asked, "Are their steps in a hurry, or are they taking off slowly?" ”

The scout cavalry said: "It seems that they are not in a hurry to move......"

Jiang Bakun breathed a sigh of relief and said, "It's okay! It seems that Haigula did not enter the city against Batel and Sanji Meren. It is now almost certain that after Bartel and Sanjimeren rendezvous with Hatton, they will not leave the city at the west and east gates, only the north and south sides can choose, and the north side is the most likely.

"If they go out of the city from the south, they must first bypass the East City Gate, and first kill the enemy sentries outside the East City Gate to the Peacock River...... I will now take a few men to keep an eye on the enemy outpost in the 'Strange Forest' to the north, which is the only way to get out of the city from the north to the Tiemenguan Pass. You are prepared to block the east gate at any time, storm the enemy's multiple guard posts, and go to the south of the city to respond. ”

Zhao Tiefeng and Li Jiekun both nodded at the same time......

In the estate of the Rahman family. More than a dozen enemy soldiers guarding the five people of Jinhua Hatun set up a bonfire in the courtyard and gathered around to eat meat and drink, leaving only two enemy soldiers standing guard outside the door.

In the living room, Jinhua Hatun and Caicike were still sitting on the kang with their hands and feet tied; On one side of the courtyard, Bayin Chaolu and his two guards were still tied to a hitched horse.

The leader of the enemy guards was already drunk. He staggered to his feet and said incoherently:

"Let's go! We...... Go and take a closer look at this Mongol ...... Harton! Arrive...... What does it look like? Otherwise! As soon as the sun comes out tomorrow, we will see ...... Can't see it anymore! ”

The leader of the enemy army, with two guards and soldiers, staggered to the living room where Jinhua Hatun and Tsetsk were being held.

As soon as Bayin Chaolu saw these ill-intentioned enemy soldiers approaching the living room, he became anxious and shouted loudly:

"What are you going to do? Come back! ”

Another enemy soldier by the campfire also stood up, walked crookedly to Bayin Chaolu with a bowl of wine, and said with a cruel smile:

"What? …… I'm ready to see you off! …… This is a send-off wine for you! ”

As he spoke, the enemy soldier raised his hand and poured the wine from his bowl on top of Bayin Chaolu's head...... The enemy soldiers burst into laughter.

Bayin stared at Lu angrily and roared loudly: "Beast! I'm going to kill you! ”

Rahman and his wife, Nisa, appeared at the door of the living room, blocking the way of the enemy leader and two enemy soldiers.

Nisha begged them, "Inside is Hatun of the Mongols!" It is your great Khan who has invited him as an honored guest. You can't hurt them! ……”

When the leader of the enemy army heard this, he suddenly laughed wildly and shouted: "Guest? …… Yesterday was a guest...... Today is the prisoner...... Tomorrow morning it will be a dead man! ……”

Nissa continued to plead with the three enemy soldiers, "Please! For heaven's sake, let them go! ……”

The leader of the enemy army suddenly changed his face and shouted loudly: "Get out! ”

One of the enemy soldiers stepped forward and knocked Nissa down, and another kicked Rehman...... The living room door was slammed open.

The two old men fell to the ground and looked at each other helplessly in pain for a while...... Suddenly, Reheman struggled to his feet, turned and rushed into the kitchen...... When he rushed out of the kitchen, he had a kitchen knife in one hand and an axe in the other.

He handed the kitchen knife to Nisha and shouted at Nisha urgently, "Quick! Cut the rope! ......" he turned and ran towards the stake that bound Bayin Chaolu and the three people.

This group of guarding enemy soldiers was stunned by this scene! Suddenly he was halfway drunk, and shouted loudly: "Stop! …… Hold it! ”

Rahman went down with an axe and cut the rope that bound the three of Bayin Chaolu...... Nissa was holding a kitchen knife and slicing the rope that bound Khatun the Golden Flower.

The enemy leader was taken aback! Shouting at Nisha, "You...... What are you going to do? So saying, he quickly threw away the wine bowl, drew his saber, and stabbed Nisha.

Although Cai Cike was tied hands and feet, his martial arts skills were good. When she saw the leader of the enemy army stabbing with a sword, she leaped swiftly and stood in front of Nissa and Goldenflower Hatton. As a result, he was stabbed in the left shoulder by the saber of the enemy leader...... She turned sideways in pain and slammed the enemy leader out with all her might.

The enemy leader was caught off guard, staggered a few steps back, and fell to the ground on his back.

When the leader of the enemy army got up and raised his sword to stab him again, Bayin yelled at Lu! The axe in his hand flew out...... The axe slashed through the body of the enemy leader, the tip of the axe peeking out from his chest.

In the middle of the courtyard, Bayin Chaolu quickly let go of the saber stabbed by an enemy soldier, locked the wrist of the enemy holding the knife, twisted the enemy soldier to the ground with his backhand, and turned around and cut down another enemy soldier with a knife...... The two guards also fought the enemy at the same time, overturning several enemy soldiers who rushed up......

An enemy soldier turned to retrieve his rifle from the wall, and Rahman picked up Kantuman and immediately knocked him to the ground......

At the gate of the manor, Battle and Meng He rushed up and broke the necks of the two enemy soldiers standing guard...... The assault team stormed the yard.

Battle, Meng and the two of them had four scimitars, rushing left and right, flying up and down, and several enemy soldiers fell to the ground in response......

In less than a bag of cigarettes, the enemy team guarding Jinhua Hatun was completely wiped out!

Guli ran over with open hands, hugged Nisha, who was tired and collapsed on the ground, and cried loudly: "Grandma! ……”
