Qiming 1158

Chapter 1483 Only in escaping, they will never fall behind
Because the Opposition prepared earlier and Arslan less prepared, the Opposition secured the Grand Prix victory.

It's not something to be proud of, with this matchmaking mechanism, both sides are actually quite entertaining.

For example, because of the too-excellent matching mechanism, the leaders of the opposition only found out that they had only one box of bows and arrows for the mutiny troops due to their negligence when there was only one stick of incense left before the mutiny.

There are about 300 arrows in this box, which is not enough for the crossbowmen who participated in the mutiny to have one.

Then, because of the panic, the armor that was supposed to be distributed to the mutiny soldiers also carried several wrong boxes. When I opened it, it was all gold used to reward soldiers, not armor.

Can gold nuggets be used as armor?

Leaders, you look at me, I look at you, the collective fell into silence, and for a moment did not know who to blame.

But there is no arrow back when the bow is opened, even if there is no arrow on the bow, this operation must be launched.

Under such circumstances, the opposition mutiny force took the lead and rushed into the palace under the leadership of the humiliated senior general Jonathan, killing the unprepared palace ban. Wei, soon took control of the palace.

In fact, Arslan had already issued an order in advance that the Guards should be strictly guarded and be more vigilant, and they should be somewhat guarded against those who might directly attack the palace.

Under normal circumstances, in the face of the guarded palace guards, it will take time for the mutiny troops to fully win, and in the absence of arrows, this time may be longer, and no other forces can intervene. .

But the problem is that the person Arslan sent out to deliver the order was afraid of the mutiny and thought it would be difficult for him to survive, so in order to survive, the guy deserted halfway and ran away, without sending the news to the Guards at all.

So much so that when the guard troops faced the surging mutiny troops, they had no defense at all, and they had no defense in their hasty resistance. In the end, the mutiny troops quickly broke through the palace ban and entered the palace.

But when the mutiny troops rushed into the palace to arrest Arslan, they were surprised to learn that Arslan had already staged another life-and-death speed with his two sons.

They had already moistened, and the moisturizing was quite fast. When he remembered the sound of killing, Arslan realized that something was wrong, and quickly fled with his two sons.

It has to be said that even if they are the competitors of the crouching dragon and phoenix style, they will never fall behind in terms of escape. Everyone is a long-legged flying general, and they can compete for the top three in the Olympic Games.

According to the interrogation of people close to Arslan, Jonadin learned that the direction of his run was the direction of Shihabdin's garrison.

Jonadin felt that it was not good, and immediately led his troops out of the city to hunt down Arslan, and he had to destroy Arslan no matter what.

As a result, they met the Gul Dynasty army who came to launch a mutiny on the way, and the two sides started a confrontation.

After a big battle, although Jonardine tried his best, he was inevitably defeated.

Arslan also managed to escape to Shihab al-Din's barracks with his two sons to seek refuge.

That being said, there is no real winner in this bizarre coup.

Although the opposition took the lead in launching a mutiny to control the capital and captured most of Arslan's supporters and relatives, they failed to capture Arslan and his two sons, and did not achieve the two goals before the operation was launched. The target of road flanking, but was exposed prematurely.

Now they can't beat the Gul Dynasty army, they can only be trapped in the lonely city and wait for the Ming army to come to help. There is no other way.

Although Arslan and Shihabdin barely managed to control the situation and held the initiative, they lost the capital and the entire Khwarizm state system, and the logistics of the Gul Dynasty army were going to go wrong.

Without the skilled bureaucrats in the capital to prepare and transport the grain for them, it is a very serious matter.

What they are about to face is the strong and adept Ming army. It is indeed a bit difficult to win the battle with poor logistics.

Therefore, although Shihab al-Din kept Arslan and his two sons, it could not be regarded as a victory.

There was no winner and no winner in this Mutual Mutiny of the Crooked Dragons and Phoenixes, and now the situation on both sides has fallen into a stalemate.

Arslan tried his best to instigate Shihabdin to launch a counterattack against the capital, rescue his loyal courtiers, and restore stability in the Khwarazm country, but the news of the Ming army's attack that followed made Shihabdin's attack. quite hesitant.

He is not stupid. To start a war with the Ming army in such a situation of logistical instability is tantamount to suicide. Quickly pacifying the civil strife is the best way, but can it really pacify the civil strife quickly?

Shihabdin then made two decisions.

First, get food.

Second, suppress rebellion.

Suppressing the rebellion is easy to understand, mobilizing the army to attack the capital and killing all the rebels.

Requisitioning grain has some meaning in it, which means to levy grain from the people in the surrounding areas, which is commonly known as "robbing".

Shihabdin didn't want to be a scorned escapee, especially since he hadn't yet fought against the Ming army, he really wanted to get military merit, so he decided to grab with both hands, and both hands to be hard, before the Ming army arrived, Complete these two preparations.

Arslan thought for a bit helplessly, and could only nod his head in agreement, allowing this "grain requisition" operation that was no different from robbery behavior—in fact, it was useless for him to not allow it.

At the same time, Shihabdin concentrated the main force of the army in the Koti area, preparing to lengthen the supply line of the Ming army, ready for a decisive battle at any time.

He expected that the Ming army would take half a month to reach the Koti area at the earliest. If the resistance in the Li'an area were stronger, this time would be extended later.

But his prediction was wrong.

The Ming army launched an attack from the Puhua area, and the soldiers pointed directly at Li'an, the important town of Khwarizimo. There were many troops stationed here, but the combat effectiveness was not very good. The Ming army bombarded the city wall with artillery and conquered it in three days. this important town.

Then the Ming army moved up the river, and the soldiers pointed directly at the Koti area, which was a full seven days earlier than Shihabdin had expected.

This caught Shihabuddin a little off guard, and he had to quickly return to the Koti area from the battlefield of the royal capital, and personally command the army to fight the Ming army in a decisive battle.

The battle that took place between the [-]-strong Ming Dynasty and the Western Karahan Kingdom coalition forces and the [-]-year-old Khwarizm Kingdom and the Gur Dynasty coalition forces did not last for too long.

Because when the artillery of the Ming army rumbled, the Khwarizm army on Shihabdin's side collapsed directly.

Many of these soldiers also had their hometowns ravaged by the Gul Dynasty army, and many lost their loved ones.

And now once they have the opportunity, they don't want to continue to work for this rotten country and this abominable wolf, so they don't insist at all.

As soon as the Ming army's artillery sounded, they turned around and ran. Some even turned their guns and started to attack the Gul Dynasty army behind them, which caught the Gul Dynasty army by surprise.

Su Haisheng noticed this and immediately launched a general offensive. The infantry army marched forward step by step, and the cavalry immediately outflanked the back road of the Gul Dynasty army from two roads.

After just two incense sticks, the Gul Dynasty army began to collapse.

Two hours later, the battle of more than [-] people was over.

Su Haisheng won a great victory and almost wiped out the Gul Dynasty army.

The fallen king of Khwarizmi, Arslan, was caught, and his two sons were also caught at the same time. The three fathers and sons in the family were all in order, and none of them escaped.

Under the protection of his personal guards, Shihabudin fled in the direction of the capital, trying to gain a firm foothold and retreat slowly, but the general Chen Qixian was chasing after him.

Chen Qixian led [-] cavalry to pursue Shihabdin closely. The two sides fought four times in two days, and beat the routed soldiers around Shihabdin from three or four thousand to three or four hundred.

Finally, when he was still half a day away from the capital, Chen Qixian finally caught up with him, and then shot his warhorse with an arrow.

The warhorse fell to the ground, he fell on the ground and rolled for a few laps. Fortunately, he didn't die, so he quickly got up and continued to escape. Chen Qixian shot him in the calf with another arrow.

Chen Qixian successfully killed all of Shihabdin's personal guards, then captured Shihabdin alive, then let the army rest for a long time, and set off again to the capital of Khwarizimo.
