Desert Eagle Suletan Khan

Chapter 469 The blood is red in Shalu Hague (Part )

After all, there are only a few people with backbone in this world. Because they are rare, they are precious. The courageous guard general of Kokand City, Ganibek, died, and there was no more courageous general in the entire Fergana region. Because I heard that the old governor, Governor Galangtusi, lived well after surrendering to the guard, and the resistant Andiyan city was massacred, and all the defenders of Kokand City were killed. The two thousand defenders of Aksi City put down their swords and guns, and the three thousand defenders of Tashkent City The army took off their armor. In other small cities such as Sailan and Yangyi, the defenders either surrendered or fled, but there was no one who resisted.

Although Sultan said that he would not kill surrendered generals, it did not mean that he trusted these surrendered generals. On the contrary, he was extremely uneasy about these troops. They can rebel against Yang Gil Khan today and surrender to me, and they can rebel against me and surrender to Yang Gil Khan tomorrow! Because he did not trust them, he simply assigned the more than 5,000 surrendered troops to the command of Galang Tuosi, and ordered Galang Tuosi to lead them to the west bravely, as cannon fodder for his conquest of the Bukhara Khanate, no, vanguard.

In order to consolidate the newly acquired Fergana region, Lotus Khan left 7,000 troops and recruited 3,000 garrison troops from the tribes that submitted to him to garrison Andiyan, Kokand, Akxi, Tashkent and other places.

After receiving more than 5,000 surrendered troops, Galang Tuosi's men increased to more than 11,000, and they were ordered to kill the Bukhara Khanate. The military order given to him by Sultan was to capture the Hague, Shalu, the important town of the Bukhara Khanate.

In ancient and modern times, at home and abroad, surrendered troops are often more courageous and more effective than the direct troops and horses in combat. Because of the surrendered troops, they want to gain a foothold in the new master's camp through their military exploits. Galangtuosi had this mentality. After receiving the mission of the vanguard, he ran very fast on a sleigh. He rushed from Tashkent to Shalu and the Hague in just five days.

The Syr Darya River, also known as the Medicine Killing Water in ancient China, originates from the Tianshan Mountains, flows into the Aral Sea, and flows through Uzbekistan, Tajikistan, and Kazakhstan. It is the longest river in Central Asia because of the conflict between Alexander the Great and the Scythians on the Syr Darya River. The battle made him famous all over the world.

The upper reaches of this river is called "Huozhan River" in China. At the intersection of Huozhan River and its tributary Keas River, there is a small hill, and Shalu Hague is built on the hill. Ancient Chinese books record this: "Shalu Hague is more than 500 miles west to Samarkand. The city is located on a small hill, facing a river to the northwest. The river is named Fire Station, and the water is rushing. A floating beam is built to cross it, and there are also small boats."

"Supervisor, in front of us is Qinasi Fort. It is located between the Huozhan River and its tributary Chirchik River. It is the northern gateway of Shalu Hague. There are three hundred defenders. The river is usually fast, but it is cold at this time. The ground is frozen and the river is frozen, so we can reach the foot of the fort in a short time by sleigh," Galang Tuosi said respectfully to the supervisor, Danjin.

Danzin is the eldest grandson of Jikundulun Ubas of the Heshuote tribe and the son of Mamedale Ubas. He belongs to the authentic Oirat Mongols, so he is deeply trusted by the Great Khan of Lotus and was sent to Galang. The Tuosi Department serves as the supervisory army. The supervisory army was just a temporarily assigned mission in Weiguo, not a formal official position. The official official position was the head of a thousand households. He was twenty-seven years old and full of vigor. He pointed his horsewhip arrogantly, "In that case, why don't the Advocate quickly capture this small fort?"

Galangtusi's current position is very embarrassing. Sultan gave him the official position of "recruiting envoy to Tashkent, Fergana, Bukhara and other places." This is also a temporary official position. If it weren't for the small words "Office is equivalent to the second grade" on the document, there would really be no guarantee. The emperor's intention is very clear. If you do well and make great contributions, it will become official temporarily, otherwise it will always be temporary.

So he wants to make meritorious deeds and make great achievements! Hearing this, he nodded and said, "What the Supervisor said is that our army should attack Qinasi Fort immediately. Uluk, lead your troops to attack the fort immediately." After hearing the order, Uluk, the general of the legion, led 3,000 elite soldiers and rowed his sled directly to the foot of the fort.

"Woo~wu~wu~" The horn was blown from the fort and the alarm smoke was set off. The three hundred defenders led by the centurion hurriedly resisted. But after all, it was just a small military fortress with a height of more than ten feet. Without resistance for a long time, the centurion's head became Uluk's military merit.

Galang Tuosi, who was eager to perform meritorious service, only let his men rest for a moment, and then ordered to rush south to attack Shalu Hague City. What he encountered was a heavily armed city. The smoke from Qinasi Castle alerted the militia of Shalu Hague City. Yes, militia, since the defeat of the second Kazakh-Bukhara war and the signing of the "New Treaty of Bukhara", Bukhara was forced to surrender to Kazakhstan and was not allowed to have an army, so the country's army did not dare They say it's an army, but they just say it's a militia. Azat (meaning rescue, liberation), the leader of the militia, is a famous warrior in Bukhara and is known to be able to tear apart tigers and leopards with his bare hands. Seeing the large number of enemies at this moment, he couldn't help but look solemn, "These Oirat bandits, you have a grudge against Kazakhs, so you just go to fight Kazakhs. What's the point of invading my Bukhara territory? Huh! You chose to come here during the ice period, you must There is a traitor!" It turns out that the Hague City of Shalu is bounded by the Keas River to the north and the Huozhan River to the west. The natural barrier formed by the two rivers made the city easy to defend and difficult to attack. But during the ice period, the thousands-mile river froze and became flat, and the natural dangers no longer existed. He was not a local, but he didn't know when the river would freeze, so he suspected there was a traitor.

There was actually no traitor, but there was a governor who was familiar with the local situation. After paying homage first and then fighting, Galang Tuosi ordered his men to shout to persuade them to surrender, "Listen to those in the city, we are subordinates of Sultan Galang Tuosi. If we are willing to surrender, Rao Er and others will not die."

Hearing this, Azat shouted: "Sultan Garang Tosi and this general are old acquaintances, please come forward and answer."

"Ambassador, the guard on the city is talking to you. Could it be that he wants to surrender? It would be a good idea to win this place without fighting," Danjin said with a smile.

After hearing this, Jialang Tuosi didn't dare not go. He stayed out of the range of the bow and arrow and asked at the top of the city: "Azhat Qianhu wants to submit to David? If so, I would like to ask the Khan Mei Say, not only is your life safe, but you can also stay in your original position. How about it?"

"You misunderstood. I just have a question that I want to ask you."

"Oh, please speak".

Azat smiled mockingly, "I heard that when you were the governor of Tashkent-Bukhara, you often boasted that you were the second best general in your country, and that your military skills were second only to that of Yangir Khan. You looked very arrogant and arrogant. Like a lion, but when the Oirat invaded, he became a sheep. He was taken prisoner in the first battle, begging for mercy for his life, and helped the enemy massacre his own people. Is this the style of a famous general in your country? Or should I say that your country Do famous generals only know how to be in trouble? Hahaha!"

"Ha~ha~ha~" After listening to his words of mocking the enemy, his subordinates also laughed, and their morale improved unknowingly.

Hearing him expose his shortcomings in public, Jialang Tuosi blushed, said nothing, mounted his horse, and turned back.

"I will attack you fiercely, and after I capture Shalu Hague, I will leave no trace behind." As soon as he returned to camp, the Davidian ambassador to Tashkent, Fergana, Bukhara and other places issued a kill order. .
