Seeing that Salha finally led his troops to retreat, Jesib breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Finally, the Great Khan can retain some of his elite main forces."
"But general, if General Salha had come to rescue you just now, he would have been able to rescue you," his guard said.
"As I said just now, if there is a problem with the line of defense that I am responsible for, I should take responsibility. There is a problem with this line of defense, which caused the failure of the Eastern Expedition to the Ming Dynasty. According to the rules set by the Great Khan, I should have taken responsibility.
I must apologize to you. Even if I am rescued by Salha, I will commit suicide in front of the Great Khan. Why don't I command you to stop the Ming army here and buy time for the army commanded by the Great Khan to leave the battlefield!"
"Moreover, if I can hold on here for a little longer, the army led by the Great Khan may not be defeated! As long as I lead the troops and hold on here, and our army still has artillery, the Ming army will definitely wipe out our army first, and will not send out many troops immediately.
If the soldiers besiege the infantry led by the Khan, more soldiers will be able to escape from the battlefield and flee back to the city of Samarkand. After that, His Majesty's domestic situation will definitely be difficult, and it will be good to have one more soldier." Jesb said.
.
"But, General..." The guard was about to say more when he suddenly heard a sharp whistling sound in the air. Jesb immediately pulled him and lay down behind an earthen barrier.
Immediately there was the sound of heavy objects falling to the ground and the screams of people. After the whistling stopped coming from the air, Jesbu quickly stood up and shouted loudly: "The Ming army is coming to attack, generals and soldiers, hurry up."
Better prepare."
The soldiers immediately began to prepare for battle under the command of the general, but everyone had little morale and low enthusiasm.
It's no wonder that these soldiers are all battle-hardened. They are clearly aware that they have been surrounded at this time, and there will be no army to rescue them. No matter how fierce the resistance is and how many Ming soldiers are killed,
No matter how long you persist, you will eventually die in battle. How can you still have high morale? Some people even secretly discussed surrendering to the Ming army. When they fought over, they also saw the attitude of the Ming Dynasty towards the lustful people in the country.
, although he was discriminated against and forced to do dirty work, he was still alive, married and had children. If he was lucky enough to be promoted to a manager, he was not much worse than when he was in Samarkand.
No matter how slow Jesb is, he can still see their hesitation and low morale, not to mention he is still a very sensitive person. Jesb stood on a high place and looked around, and saw that the Ming army had just completely surrounded them.
He got up and was still preparing unhurriedly. For the time being, the artillery bombardment had not yet officially started the attack. He shouted loudly: "Generals and soldiers." The guards beside him also shouted with him. When everyone heard this,
He immediately turned his head to look at him.
"Everyone also knows that at this time we have been surrounded by the Ming army, and there will be no reinforcements to rescue us. No matter how many Ming soldiers are killed, it is useless, so everyone's morale is low, and some people even think about surrendering to the Ming army.
The army surrendered."
"First of all, I tell everyone who wants to surrender to the Ming Army that if you surrender, even if the Ming Army temporarily accepts your surrender, they will not let you live in the future and will definitely kill them all!"
"You are not ordinary people who believe in the Tianfang Sect. You are soldiers of the elite main army under the Great Khan. You have excellent combat skills and survivability. You can also organize yourself spontaneously. Even if you are sent out in a team of a hundred people,
While you are working, the Ming army guarding you must always be on guard against you rioting or trying to escape. The energy invested will far exceed that of guarding other prisoners, and the gain outweighs the loss."
"Moreover, how many Ming soldiers have you killed in total during these days, how many captive Ming people have you tortured and killed, and how many captured Ming women have you raped? How many Ming people will hate you to the bone? If the emperor of the Ming Dynasty
If he wants to spare your lives, how many people will ask him to kill you?"
So for the Ming Dynasty, the best way to deal with it is to kill all of you, or even torture you. If anyone is willing to die like this, just put down your weapons, raise your hands and walk out of the front, I will never stop you."
Jesb paused here and scanned the whole place.
No one moved. What Jesb said was actually not complicated. It’s just that when people find a way to survive in a desperate situation, they tend to exaggerate the possibility of survival and don’t want to think too much. At this time, Jesb points out that the way to survive is actually a dead end.
, and immediately lost all illusions.
Jesbu then continued: "Furthermore, the Khitans of the Ming Dynasty are all pagans, and fighting the pagans is praised by God. Although God will not personally send down magic power to help us, in the battle with the pagans,
After death in battle, the soul can ascend to heaven. There are seventy-two pure women in heaven. Countless delicacies and unimaginable luxury are waiting for you. All the wishes that you have not been able to realize during your lifetime will also be in heaven.
accomplish."
"At the same time, you are all the most elite soldiers under the Great Khan. You have conquered east and west and killed countless enemies for the Great Khan. People in Central Asia and the West will tremble with fear when they hear your names."
"But if you are easily beaten to death by the Ming army, the Khitan people will despise you very much, write you into a collection of jokes, and laugh at you from generation to generation: Although these people from the west want to be robbers, they are very weak, and they will be chopped off like
It was dried like a melon. Are you willing to leave such a reputation in the East?"
"Everyone, you are all the bravest warriors in the world. Even if death is inevitable, you must let the Ming army remember your bravery. Thinking of today's battle, you will be awakened by nightmares in the middle of the night, and you will never forget it!"
"So, for the sake of Allah, for the sake of going to heaven after death, for the sake of our reputation after death, fight hard against the Khitans! Kill them!"
"Kill the Khitans!" The soldiers' morale was awakened by him, and they also shouted loudly.
"Generals and soldiers, prepare to destroy the Ming army!"
…
…
"What are Xilu shouting?" A soldier from Yongming's left guard muttered as he marched forward.
"It's probably like shouting, 'Mom, I will serve you again in the next life,'" someone joked.
"Stop talking!" Chang An glanced at the two of them dissatisfied, and they immediately shut up. Seeing that they stopped talking, Chang An turned his head and continued to look forward.
He was very impatient at this time. He had just defended the gap after repeated bloody battles and narrowly escaped death several times. He thought he could rest at this point, but unexpectedly Qin Sen blasted them all off the ground again to attack Jesbu's troops.
Of course he was very reluctant, but he didn't dare to go against Qin Sen's words. Moreover, it was said that this was an order issued by His Majesty the Emperor himself. Anyone who violated it would be beheaded and could only drag his body and lead more than a hundred of his men to attack Jesbu.
department.
'Really, we have been fighting for such a long time, and it is already afternoon now. We only had a quick bite to eat, but we did not allow us to rest and continued to attack Xilu.'
'The Xilu are already surrounded now, and it's impossible to grow wings and fly away, so why be so anxious.' He thought dissatisfied in his heart.
While he was thinking, he suddenly heard the sound of something breaking through the air. He immediately straightened the helmet on his head as if by a conditioned reflex, and raised his head to look at the cannonball that was about to fall in a parabola.
He immediately discovered that these cannonballs were far away from him and could not fall next to him. He breathed a sigh of relief, but slowed down.
"Chang An, if you don't lead the soldiers to catch up quickly, you will fall behind by such a long distance." Zhao Xing said.
"I am cooperating with the pace of other guard posts that were disturbed by the shells." Chang An said seriously: "They were disturbed by the shells and slowed down, so I also slowed down a little to keep pace with them."
"Follow me quickly. If you continue to behave like this, I can only report it to the commander." Zhao Xing knew that Chang An was unwilling to fight, and neither was he himself, but military orders were military orders.
When Chang An heard this, he could only lead his soldiers to walk a few steps quickly to catch up with the hundreds of households in front.
After a while they came to the Xilu's position. Chang An took off the water bottle from his waist, raised it and poured a lot of water on his face, and then took out a dark hand towel that had not been washed for an unknown period of time and wiped his face.
, and then as if he was a different person, he said to his soldiers very seriously: "Be ready, follow my orders and rush forward to fight the Xilu."
The soldiers under him are all accustomed to it. No matter how reluctant Chang An is to fight, before the battle, he will prepare for the war very seriously as if he has changed. According to him, this is inherited from his father, who followed Chang Yu.
This was the case during the Spring and Autumn Conquests and the Northern War.
At this time, the sound of Xilu's bows and arrows sounded, and suddenly countless arrows flew into the sky and fell over the top of the Ming army's heads. Chang An shouted: "Raise the shield!" In an instant, all his soldiers raised their small shields.
Get up and protect your head.
Just hearing the sound of "ding ding ding", the arrows landed on their shields and bounced away; a few arrows passed through the gaps between the shields and hit the bodies of the soldiers; the soldiers who were hit immediately broke the arrows.
.
After the arrow rain passed, Chang An heard the command from the commander, put down his shield, stood up, shouted: "Come with me!" and rushed over first. The soldiers behind him also followed them and quickly rushed to the Xilu formation.
In front of the enemy, he first threw a round of grenades, killing several Xilu, and then rushed in to fight with the Xilu.
