Water Margin people

Chapter 1580: A bitch

"Sultan, what shall we do?"

All the generals were terrified. The dead men outside the city were fearless and the Qi army was watching quietly in the distance. This kind of imposing intimidation made them sweat profusely.

"Break out at night!"

Sanjar did not dare to talk about a decisive battle. They had suffered heavy casualties in the previous battle, and the soldiers had long lost the courage to fight. Holding on to the city was just waiting for death.

Seeing that the enemy dared not leave the city, the army outside the city could only disperse and set up camps, and fight separately.

"General Lin, the enemy has been repelled!"

Mahmud and others came to Lin Chong and others, and asked for credit with a smile on their faces.

"The enemy's morale is low, they will definitely break out tonight, so be prepared!"

Lin Chong looked at the foreign generals and said that they would be the first to lead the next battle.

"Yes!"

Everyone said in unison that for them who were defeated in the war, it was fortunate to be able to die fighting for the State of Qi. After all, it was not a loss no matter how you looked at it, to be able to sacrifice some lives to save their own lives and wealth.

The foreign generals left happily to prepare for the battle in the evening.

“They seem to be enjoying it!”

Li Yan said.

"They should have been dead, but now they are in power. What else can they be dissatisfied with?"

Wang Jin said that according to the rules of the battlefield, these people should be chopped to death and their heads used as a sacrifice to commemorate Qi's great victory.

In the city of Samarkand, Sanjar was having his men pack up the looted gold, silver and treasures and load them onto trucks. He wanted to take them all away.

"Sultan, this is too much!"

An official pointed at the hundreds of carts of gold, silver, treasures and goods and said hesitantly that all the things they looted were good things, but they could not run fast with these things, so how could they withdraw from the Central Asian region?

"If it doesn't work, just throw away all the food. There will be food when you go back! If it still doesn't work, just rob along the way!"

Sanjar said firmly.

In the city of Samarkand, the Seljuk army was busy carrying money. Sanjar had hundreds of carts, and ordinary soldiers also hid a lot. Not only were they all carrying a lot of money on their backs, but their horses' backs were also full of it.

At midnight, the Seljuk army began to break out.

"Kill!"

Ibrahim spoke up.

"No, let them leave the city as much as possible. If we start killing them now, they will retreat again! How can we attack the city? Your Majesty hates dragging things out. Your Majesty will arrive tomorrow and we must capture the city tonight!"

An Bahai said that he was one of the first foreign subjects to surrender to Qi State and had never been hostile to Qi State. He had the highest status among all the foreign generals.

Everyone nodded slightly. They needed to fight a good battle to show their loyalty and value. A person who was not loyal enough and had no value had no need to exist.

Seeing that the vanguard troops broke through successfully and the enemy offered only weak resistance, Sanjar was overjoyed and immediately ordered the main force to leave the city.

But not long after the main force left the city, a fire broke out outside the city. Anbahai rushed out with a group of foreign generals, and their target was Sanjar.

"Sanjar, die!"

Everyone roared in ecstasy, Sanjar was the best embodiment of their loyalty and values.

Sanjar was shocked and immediately called on his army to resist.

But Anbahai and his men were all elite troops, and the guards around Sanjar were unable to stop them at all.

"Let's go! Let's go!"

Sanjar didn't care about money at this time and ran away with his men.

"Want to run? Kill!" Anbahai yelled, and the people around him rushed forward and soon surrounded Sanjar.

"Do you really want to be on the same side as Qi? The sword of truth has already shown its edge. The people of the East cannot protect you!"

Sanjar threatened Ajith and others.

"Sanjar, we have pledged our allegiance to the State of Qi and believe in the Imperial Religion! You should dismount and surrender now, and swear allegiance to His Majesty the Emperor! If you convert to the Imperial Religion, you can still save your life!"

Ajisi pointed the scimitar in his hand and shouted at Sanjar.

"Those who believe in the emperor's teachings live, and those who do not die!"

Everyone shouted in unison.

The soldiers around Sanjar were filled with fear. The Imperial Religion made them feel infinite fear. The religion here was that believers would gain eternal life, but now the Imperial Religion was that non-believers would die.

“This is good teaching!”

Sun Li laughed and said, "Believe in religion and you will have eternal life and great freedom. Going to heaven or heaven is all false. Who can prove that those things exist? But life and death are real. If you believe, you can live. If you don't believe, you will be killed with a knife, so that everyone can see what a dead person looks like."

"Don't just sit there, stop those Seljuks and take Samarkand!"

Lin Chong looked at the crowd and said that they needed to settle everything here before dawn in order to welcome the emperor.

"kill!"

The deafening shouts of killing rang out in the night, and the Qi army swept over the natural enemies like a huge wave.

"kill!"

When An Bahai and others saw that the Qi army had taken action, they did not wait for anything and just swung their butcher knives and started killing.

"I surrender! I surrender!"

Sanjar was really scared. He thought Yelu Dashi was cruel enough, but he didn't expect that the Qi State in the east was even more cruel.

“Is this the mysterious power of the East?”

Sanjar recalled the deeds of their Turkic ancestors. They, the Turks, originally lived on the eastern grasslands and often fought with the Central Plains countries in the east. Later, when the Tang Dynasty rose, their ancestors were defeated and fled to the west.

With Sanjar's surrender, the Seljuk army dismounted and surrendered.

The Qi army formed a huge encirclement on the periphery, surrounding the fleeing Seljuk army.

By dawn, the war was over and the shouting and killing had disappeared.

The residents of Samarkand who had been hiding in their homes walked out of the city, but were greeted by the cold eyes of the Qi army. Their hypocrisy had brought disaster upon themselves, and now they had to pay the price for their mistakes.

"General, we sincerely surrender to you!"

A bearded man who looked like an aristocrat came with a group of people to Lin Chong, knelt down and spoke.

"roll!"

Lin Chong simply replied coldly, rode his horse forward, and directly pushed away the people kneeling in front of him.

"You bitch!"

The Qi army looked at this group of people coldly. It was too late to surrender now.

Those Samarkand nobles were in great grief and dared not speak. They also knew that their luck had angered the State of Qi, and the current disaster was all caused by their wrong choice.

According to Western rules, they should now offer treasures and beautiful women to win the conqueror's forgiveness.

But now all their money had been looted by the Seljuks, and all the beautiful women had been plundered, so they really had nothing to offer.

The only thing that made the residents of the city feel fortunate was that the Qi army did not loot the city like the Seljuks did.

"Gather everyone in the city. I need to know the population of the city. This will be an important military stronghold in the future!"

Lin Chong said to the people around him that Samarkand has a very good geographical location. It connects Persia, the West, Central Plains, India and other places, and can also control the entire area.
