This small city was used by the Karakhanate to monitor the Khotan and as a food and grass transport place when they attacked Khotan. Therefore, the city walls were not strong and profound, and there were not many defenders in the city. When they saw a large group of people rushing towards them, the guards blew the horn and summoned the soldiers to defend the city, and sent out the best riders and the fastest BMWs under their command, and opened the north gate and asked him to bring the news back to Kashgar City to the great Ali Arslan Khan.

"Shoot the arrow!" On the back of the galloping horse, Bilege took out the bow and arrow and issued a loud order. Then hundreds of feather arrows attacked the low city, and the defenders on the city kept getting caught in arrows and wailing.

Bilege led the cavalry to circle the city wall, using feather arrows to suppress the defenders at the city. Behind him were infantrymen who rushed over with a cloud ladder. They quickly put the ladder on the city, bit the scimitar in their mouths and feet, and crawled towards the city like a flexible monkey. Bilege's arrow rain also began to shift direction to focus on protecting the soldiers on the cloud ladder.

Although the defenders on the city tried their best to resist, their number was too small. They were soon attacked by the warriors of the Gaochang Uighurs and firmly defended the ladder. More people rushed to the city to drive the defenders of the Karakhanate. When their number was enough, they quickly rushed to the city gate under the leadership of a warrior trusted by Bilgro.

Soon the city gate was opened, and Bilege led the cavalry to rush in. This small border town fell into the hands of the Khotan coalition. Bilege laughed and began to rob the soldiers in the city. Li You did not stop them. As Ban Chao said, the Western Regions and the Central Plains were completely different environments, and many rules applied to the Central Plains may not be suitable here. What's more, after decades of tug-of-war, the Karakhanate and other countries had formed a great feud for life and death. Li You did not think that the soldiers and people in the city would surrender to them.

When Li You, Yuchi Sinhalama, Ban Chao and Lu Sheng entered the city, the shadow of the Karakhanate soldiers was gone in the city. Bilege led them into the city to rest. As for the remaining soldiers, they camped outside the city, and they would rest here for one night and start their journey tomorrow.

The next day, the army packed up the camp after dinner and continued to march towards Kashgar. You can see that there were a lot of cars and horses in Bilege's team. I think these were their captures of this battle. It seems that it is a good sign to win the first battle easily, and the soldiers' pace of marching much lighter. In addition, the road from here to Kashgar is many times better than crossing the Palacio Mountains, and the army is moving much faster.

At this time, the knights who had escaped from the city rushed to Kashgar City and spread the news of the arrival of the great enemy to Ali Arslan Khan's ears. Ali Arslan personally summoned the messenger, "How many enemies have come? What flag do they fight? Did Yuchi Sinharama come in person?"

"Dear Khan, the enemy's team has been stretching from the Pamir Mountains to the city, and it can't be seen from afar. I'm afraid there will be less than 100,000 troops." The messenger pressed his head tightly to the ground, not daring to look at Ali Arslan's eyes.

"Hundreds of thousands of people? Even if Yuchi Sinharama emptyed the entire Kingdom of Khotan, he could not find so many soldiers." Ali Arslan was a little angry, thinking that the messenger was deceiving him.

"The great Han Dynasty was not just the army of the Kingdom of Khotan. The army of the Gaochang Uighurs was the army of the Gaochang Uighurs who took the lead in attacking the great Karakhan army." The messenger had participated in the battle with the Gaochang Uighurs and recognized their clothes. "There were three armies with different dresses behind them, some of which were the Khotan army, and the other two were small but could not be recognized."

"Has Gaochang Uighurs and the Kingdom of Khotan joined forces?" Ali Arslan's expression suddenly became serious. So who would the remaining two armies be? Is they the Guiyi army or the Tubo people? He quickly asked carefully about the banners, clothing, and messengers of the two armies answered one by one based on his impression.

"There is indeed a Guiyi Army." The Guiyi Army had supported the war in the Kingdom of Khotan many times before, so when he heard the envoy's description, Ali Arslan immediately understood, but the number of troops sent by the Guiyi Army this time was far beyond his expectations, and he could not guess the identity of the army in the end, and he only felt that the dress of these people seemed to be somewhat similar to that of the Gaochang Uighurs.

The Uighurs in Ganzhou have always been entrenched in the Hexi Corridor and have almost never participated in the battle between the Karakhanate and the Khotan Kingdom, so Ali Arslan did not recognize it. However, the strength exposed by Yuchi Sinharama this time was enough to shock him. In the previous battles between the Karakhanate and the Khotan Kingdom, the Karakhanate often had the advantage of military strength. Even so, the Karakhanate often did not allow the Khotan Kingdom. This time, the number of troops in the Khotan Kingdom even exceeded their defenders in Kashgar. If it were as the messenger said, this battle would be difficult to fight.

"Send the best riders and the best horses to the south to inquire about the news of the Khotan people, send envoys to Balashaguen and Bahanna, and let them quickly send troops to Kashgar." Ali Arslan made a quick decision, "Close the city gates of Kashgar from now on, and no one can enter and exit without my order."

The city of Kashgar suddenly became busy. Countless soldiers were running in the city, transporting various guardians to the city heading. Teams of knights rushed out of the south gate, the north gate, the west gate, and the direction of Balashaguen, Bahanna and the Khotan army came. Behind them, the gate slowly closed. Ali Arslan led his generals and ministers to the city heading, looking at the south from afar, guessing when the Khotan army would come to the city.

The spies sent to the south came back in waves, and they brought back one news after another. In the end, Ali Arslan determined that they would face unprecedented challenges this time, and Yuchi Sinharama summoned an extremely powerful army.

On the morning of the third day, the earth was shaking in the distance, and the sound of horse hooves was thunderous from far to near. The army wearing four different costumes slowly unfolded outside Kashgar City and began to find a suitable place to camp.

They did not start siege directly, but Ali Arslan was not happy at all, because he had already understood that the enemy had been prepared for a long-term siege this time, and it was obvious that they would not give up if they did not take Kashgar City.
