Hundreds of Guishuang troops were filled with despair, and they knelt on the ground and begged the Chinese army to forgive them.
"Tied."
If they were facing Ju Yi, death might be inevitable, but Jiang Qin was not a violent person. Looking at the Kushan people kneeling on the ground and kowtowing, he couldn't help but shake his head and ordered the soldiers to capture them.
"Clean the battlefield and don't let any enemy go."
After gathering the prisoners, Jiang Qin ordered the soldiers to clean the battlefield. Soon all the corpses were struck with swords, and then the swords, armor and equipment were swept away. Finally, all the corpses were piled together and burned with fire.
"Move back slowly, search like a carpet, don't let any enemy go."
After all this was done, Jiang Qin's 20,000 cavalrymen dispersed with hundreds of prisoners in tow, and conducted a blanket search. While returning to Hamatri, they searched for any fish that had slipped through the net.
"Your Majesty, now that the city of Hamatri has been taken, I suggest that the next step is to divide the troops into two groups. One group will carry food and grass to directly attack Maracanda, and the other group will slowly attack from behind to eliminate all the resisting cities one by one.
conquer."
Hamatri has been captured, and there are only a few small cities in the middle of Malakanda that can be ignored. As long as they capture the capital of Lit Province, they will not be able to organize a strong counterattack.
"Okay, I will do as you say. I will lead the fifth army of Shesheng, the Guards, Polu Army and 20,000 cavalry to accelerate forward and attack Maracanda. Yuan Hao, you will lead the remaining troops and wait for the attack in the rear.
"
Yuan Shu nodded to Tian Feng and directly decided to lead his army forward to attack Maracanda, leaving Tian Feng behind to slowly clear out the enemy.
"Your Majesty, let me attack Maracanda."
After hearing Yuan Shu's words, Tian Feng shook his head slightly. What he suggested was that he would lead his troops first. If Maracanda was difficult to conquer, he would take some extraordinary measures.
"What's wrong?
What do you want to do?"
Sure enough, after hearing Tian Feng's words, Yuan Shu couldn't help but frown.
"It's okay. The front line is dangerous after all. It's better for Your Majesty to sit in the rear. After all, you are the emperor of the Chinese Empire. As the saying goes, a gentleman will not stand behind a dangerous wall.
If you are allowed to charge into the battle and Tian Feng is safe at the back, I will be strangled to death by Ze Zhu when I return home, so for my own safety, I hope your Majesty will allow me to command the front army."
Tian Feng smiled at Yuan Shu and told him the reason he had already thought of.
"really?"
Although Tian Feng said this, Yuan Shu didn't believe it. You might be afraid of Ju Sue and lie to ghosts.
"really."
Tian Feng nodded again.
"Then you must ensure your own safety."
"promise."
Soon Tian Feng led the Polu army, and Shesheng's fifth army was supplemented by 30,000 Western Region infantry, 20,000 Western Region cavalry, and fifty trebuchets. Nightmare also followed Tian Feng to attack Maracanda, while Yuan Shu
With the remaining troops and horses, he slowly planned to attack the city of Kambula.
Yuan Shu made a good start here, and Zhao Yun also started taking action. Zhang Cheng led an army of 10,000 and directly dispatched a surprise attack on Terunsa. The tribes there were unable to resist at all, so they could only organize strong resistance while attacking Sakun in Samarkand.
Ask for help.
"Patriarch, Terensa was attacked by ten thousand cavalry."
Terunsa is only a few dozen miles away from Samarkand, and the news soon reached Sakun's ears.
"What?
An enemy actually appeared in Terence?
Immediately recruit Kamil Khan to lead 10,000 cavalry to attack to rescue Terunsa. Remember to repel the enemy and never pursue them."
When he heard that Terence was attacked, Sakun couldn't help but frowned. He must know that he only had 20,000 cavalry here now. If he didn't send troops now, the enemy would definitely think that his base camp was empty and take the opportunity to attack, so he immediately
He ordered General Kamil Khan to lead 10,000 cavalry to attack to rescue Terence.
Soon Kamil Khan left Samarkand with 10,000 fine cavalry and bolted towards Terence.
"General, a cavalry force of ten thousand people is heading towards General Zhang Cheng."
Zhao Yun's men had been ambushing near Samarkand for a long time. When they saw 10,000 cavalry dispatched, they immediately came to report the news to him.
"Send a telegram to Zhang Cheng, asking him not to fight the enemy and lead them south. He orders He Pu and Zhou Nuo to lead their respective troops to ambush twenty miles south of Terence. If the enemy follows the charter, they will immediately
Send troops to annihilate them, and if you don’t pursue them, don’t expose their traces.”
Sure enough, as Sa Kun thought, Zhao Yun was a little confused by his straightforward dispatch of troops. He originally guessed that the number of soldiers and horses in the city would only be 20,000 or 30,000, but the fact that the other party sent 10,000 troops so straightforwardly really made him a little confused.
I wonder how many troops there are in Samarkand.
Although I don't know how many soldiers and horses you have, Sa Kun doesn't know how many soldiers and horses you have. Both sides are in the dark, and you have the upper hand. Next, it depends on how you respond.
After Zhang Cheng received the battle report, he couldn't help but frown. Seeing that the place was about to be captured by him, who would have thought that the enemy's troops would arrive so quickly.
"General, the enemy cavalry is still five miles away from us."
"General, the enemy cavalry is still two miles away from us."
Hearing that there were still two miles left, Zhang Cheng had already seen the smoke and dust raised by the enemy's cavalry, and directly ordered his cavalry to go south, walking through the dust to the ambush of He Pu and Zhou Nuo.
Kamil Khan fought his way to Terensa. He looked at the enemies fleeing south and then looked at the mess in front of him. There were dead and wounded corpses and burning houses everywhere. He couldn't help but feel angry and blood boiling.
"General, the enemy ran south, you must avenge us."
An old man trembled and knelt in front of Kamil Khan, his eyes full of tears of grief. His two sons and three grandsons all died under the enemy's butcher knife because of resistance. How could he not cry?
"Don't worry, I will avenge you and prepare to pursue you south."
Kamil Khan was also very angry. This was Sakun's tribe, and it was also his tribe. The people of his own tribe were brutally killed, how could he hold back.
"General, the clan leader has given an order to repel the enemy. You must not pursue them."
Upon hearing Kamil Khan's words, the commander beside him grabbed his shoulder directly. When he came, Sakun said that he must not pursue impulsively.
"I know, but now the enemy has just withdrawn. They only have about ten thousand people. I am confident that I can catch up with them and capture them. You have also seen that these are my people. Do we want to just sit back and watch them being slaughtered while we let them go?"
Are the Chinese leaving?"
Although Sakun said so when he came, Kamil Khan still wanted to pursue him. After all, the Chinese were only four or five miles away from him. He believed that as long as he chased quickly, he would definitely be able to defeat the enemy.
"General, have you ever considered that there are only 20,000 elite cavalry in Samarkand now. If you pursue now, but are ambushed by the enemy, or they just deliberately move us away, and then attack Samarkand directly, then
The whole Khwarezm is finished."
The captain felt that his forehead was going to collapse. How could Sakun let a fool like Kamil Khan lead the troops? If he really pursued and was ambushed by the enemy, there would definitely be a big problem in Samarkand.
"Okay, then let them go."
Hearing the captain say that Samarkand might be in danger, Kamil Khan also frowned. Although he was naive, he was not stupid. He could still tell the difference between Terunsa and Samarkand, which was more important.
There may be people and compatriots from other tribes here, but Samarkand has everything of him.
"General, you are wise. Terence has become like this now. If we leave, I am afraid there will be no resistance here. Rather than doing this, it is better to bring them back to Samarkand."
After looking at Kamil Khan, the captain breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, this idiot was not stupid, otherwise he would have been ambushed.
"We are resting in Terence for the time being. The rest of us are going to leave our houses temporarily and prepare to return to Samarkand with us."
Kamil Khan nodded. He did not want to see them moaning under the enemy's hooves, so he directly ordered these people to abandon Terensa and go to Samarkand with him.
"Didn't the enemy pursue you?"
Zhang Cheng led his men to retreat to the south. In order to lure the opponent to pursue him, he did not flee south quickly, but he was very puzzled that the opponent did not pursue him.
"Captain Lieutenant, the enemy did not pursue us. Instead, they gathered the tribesmen in Terence. It seems that they want to take them away together."
Although the army moved south, Zhang Cheng also deployed scouts there, and now the scouts directly reported the situation there to Zhang Cheng.
"The entire army is suspended and will report to General Zilong immediately."
Upon hearing the news, Zhang Cheng directly ordered the cavalry to pause and at the same time sent a telegram to Zhao Yun in the distance.
"General, telegram from Zhang Cheng."
Zhao Yun frowned after reading the telegram.
"Fight and not pursue, there is something fishy about Samarkand."
Zhao Yun looked at Kan Yu in front of him, and then the corners of his mouth turned up involuntarily.
"Let Zhou Nuo immediately attack Shanda Tehe in the south. I want to see whether you are lying or not."
Since you haven't tried it once, let's try it again.
After Zhou Nuo received Zhao Yun's telegram, he left the ambush directly and led an army of 10,000 people towards Sanda Tehe.
The distance between Sanda Tehe and Samarkand was also dozens of miles. When Zhou Nuo led his troops to attack, they immediately asked Sakun for help.
"Clan leader, Shanda Tehe was attacked by more than ten thousand enemies."
The scouts ran wildly and spread the news to Sa Kun.
"Where is Kamil Khan?"
Hearing the news, Sakun couldn't help but frown. He now had a feeling that Samarkand might be targeted by the enemy. This was to test himself, so he attacked the tribal strongholds around Samarkand.
I just want to explore my own reality.
"They haven't heard from them yet."
Faced with the Sakunde question, the scout found it difficult to answer.
"Call Ventert over. I have something important to discuss."
Sa Kun did not send troops rashly this time. You must know that he only has 10,000 elite cavalry under his command now. If he sends them out at this time, there will be no troops to defend here. Once the enemy seizes the opportunity to attack, everything will be over.
"Clan leader, you are looking for me."
Ventert is one of the three generals that Sakun values more highly, and he is also the only general who remains in Samarkand.
"Vante, you also know the situation in Khwarezm now. The main force of our cavalry has gone north to suppress the bandits. Now there will be more than 10,000 enemy cavalry in the direction of Terence. I have sent Kamil Khan with 10,000 cavalry to reinforce
, now there is an enemy situation in the direction of Sanda Tehe, what do you think the enemy is doing?"
Sa Kun directly told everything about the current situation.
"Chief, do you mean that the enemy has targeted us and is trying to test our true identity?"
