Chapter 686 Great Victory
"Khan, it will take another three days to reach Kashgar." In the messy marching team, a general hurried to Kadir Khan to report that coming here from the distant Bukhara had exhausted the army. He now wished he could enter Kashgar city to rest immediately.
Kadir Khan looked at the scattered army with dissatisfaction, but there was nothing he could do. These troops were not all soldiers from the Karakhanate, but a considerable number of them were volunteer soldiers from various real god kingdoms. The reason they came to Kashgar to spread the faith of the real gods and did not completely obey the command of Kadir Khan.
"Send more cavalry to investigate the news in front. I think those pagans should already know that we are here." Kadir Khan ordered that in his opinion, the enemy he was facing this time might not be strong. If they were really strong, they should have attacked Balashaguen or Bahan long ago. How could they have to hide in Kashgar City?
Let this victory lay the foundation for me to ascend to the supreme throne of the Karakhanate. Kadir Khan said silently in his heart that Nasser had defeated the Saman Dynasty and still firmly occupied the supreme throne of the Khan, which made him a little unwilling to accept it. However, as long as he breaks through Kashgar, opens up the road to the east, and then summons more jihad warriors to conquer Khotan, he will establish a merit that is not lost to Nasser, and he can also recruit more soldiers from Khotan, Gaochang Uighurs and other places to strengthen himself.
With such a beautiful idea, Kadir Khan continued to command the army to advance. Mushardin, who was in charge of the alert in front of him, ran back quickly, "Khan, there is a pagan army blocking the road in front of him, and it seems that they are going to fight us here."
"Oh? How many people? Can you see the flag they are urging?" Kadir Khan sat upright and waved his hand to signal the entire army to stop for the time being. There was a commotion among the soldiers around him. The march these days had made them feel very impatient and had long wanted to fight a war with the Khotan coalition forces.
"There were about 20,000 people, and they were assassinated by the flag of the Kingdom of Khotan. The one who led the troops should be Yuchi Sinharama, the pagan king." In order to attract their attention, Bilege changed the flag under the order of Li You.
"So it should be their main force?" Kadir Khan was indeed fooled. There were only 20,000 troops. I have more than 40,000 warriors here. Let's use their blood to wash away the shame of Arslan Khan's failure. Kadir Khan made a decision, "The whole army began to rest and launch an attack later."
The order spread, and tens of thousands of warriors from the Karakhanate cheered together. In their opinion, these pagans would undoubtedly become victims under their scimitar. The facts seemed to be as they expected. After the rest, the whole army accelerated and soon they collided with Bilego's army. As soon as the two sides contacted, they were defeated. Many enemies seemed to be scared and left hundreds of corpses and began to flee in a panic.
Ha! Did Arslan lose to these people? The victory made Kadir Khan forget the danger, and laughed at Arslan ruthlessly in his heart, and immediately led the army to pursue him. Of course, he still did not forget to be on guard. Hundreds of cavalry rushed to the front, responsible for delaying Bilgro's escape speed, and also checking whether there were ambushes on both sides of the road.
However, in order to make themselves faster, the defeated enemies kept taking out messy things from themselves and threw them back, including armor, weapons, silk, gold and silver. These things quickly attracted the attention of the pursuers. They no longer paid attention to the situation on both sides of the road, but instead chased the defeated soldiers desperately, hoping to get more benefits from them.
The pursuit lasted for half an hour. The defeated soldiers in front seemed to have exhausted their strength and their escape speed became slower and slower. Mushardin, who was leading the army in front, thought it was time to harvest the fruits of victory, so he sent people to rule Kadir Khan, and then the entire army accelerated its speed.
More than 40,000 soldiers rushed forward in a mess, fearing that they would not have enough things to grab, and no one noticed the abnormal situations on both sides of the road. Yuchi Sinharama was hiding behind the hillside, the mouths of the war horses were blocked, and the horse's hooves were wrapped in linen to avoid making noises. The soldiers sat silently on the ground, waiting for the signal on the top of the mountain.
The sound of horse hooves in the distance was getting closer and closer. Yuchi Sinharama and the soldiers slowly stood up and grabbed the reins of the war horses. Soon, the top of the hillside sent a signal that the enemy had fallen into the encirclement.
"The whole army attacked!" Yuchi Sinharama pulled out the sword at his waist, turned over and rushed to the front, and behind him were the soldiers of the Khotan Kingdom who had accumulated anger for a long time.
The Karakhan army, who was pursuing, suddenly stopped when they saw the defeated soldiers, turned around and resisted their attack. At the same time, there were huge shouts of killing sounds on both sides of the road. Countless soldiers shouted and rushed down from the hillside, splitting the unexpected Karakhan army, and then launched a massacre.
The Karakhan army was suddenly in panic, and Kadir Khan instantly fell from heaven to hell. He did not expect that victory and failure would change so quickly.
"The enemy has fallen into the encirclement, and now it seems that it is our turn to take the stage." Li You, who brought the Guiyi Army to monitor the battlefield dynamics nearby, felt relieved. The enemy's reaction was not beyond his expectations at all. Many spare methods were no longer useful, so let's take Guiyi Army to help them.
Under the leadership of Li You, 20,000 soldiers rushed towards the enemy along the avenue. Bilege, who received the signal, made way for them to attack. Mushardin, who had just felt a little less pressure, had not had time to rejoice when he saw a more powerful army rushing towards him. The leading general was stabbing his chest with a spear in his hand.
Mushardin had no time to react, subconsciously raised his scimitar to block the shot. Li You shook his hands, and the body of the Liquan spear collapsed Mushardin's scimitar, and then stabbed his chest with his open door. He used both hands to lift his body and threw it into the Karakhan army.
The death of the leader greatly weakened the morale of these Karakhan soldiers. They all lost the courage to resist and turned around and fled backwards. Unfortunately, premeditation is completely different from escape and defeat. Bellerge was able to escape their pursuit just now, but it doesn't mean they can do the same.
