Desert Eagle Suletan Khan

Chapter 34 Only one person is a man
Creatures like jackals always bully the weak and fear the strong. If you are ruthless, they will stay away from you; if you are timid, they will pounce on you and bite you.

Governor Abu Hadi refused to save his son-in-law and showed goodwill to his Mongolian friends with practical actions; Nomdale did not care so much and vowed to swallow this good friend in one bite.

After leaving two thousand soldiers and horses to guard Chaliweihe Iron Gate Pass, he led more than seven thousand warriors to march westward to Kuqa.

Abu Hadi was not completely stupid. In order to prevent the Mongols from not getting enough of the robbery and running into their own territory to exchange feelings, he sent a general named Boluzhi to lead five thousand troops to guard Luntai City east of Kuqa.

Boluji's ancestors once served as the general manager of Chagatai Khan Tuhelu Timur. Even the city of Kuqa was once a fief of their family, and they were considered to be descendants of a famous family. He comes from a famous family, so he naturally has a sense of arrogance. He refused to defend the city, but went out of the city with five thousand soldiers and horses, intending to fight the Mongols in the field.

The small city of Luntai is quite famous in history. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty issued the "Edict on Luntai Crime" here in his later years. Lu You's sentence "Lying in a lonely village does not mourn for oneself, but still thinks of defending Luntai for the country". spread.

Now, this is a battlefield!

"Dong~dong~dong~"

The war drums of the Mongolian army sounded, and Sabir and Alimu led two thousand surrender troops to attack the Kuqa army. Strangely enough, these two men performed mediocrely in the Turpan army, but as soon as they surrendered to their Mongol masters, they immediately became extremely brave and made many military exploits.

Bolu refused to show weakness and led his army to fight with the enemy.

Nomudale sat on his horse and observed the battlefield. At first glance, I knew for sure that the combat power of the Kuqa Army was not as great as that of the Turpan Army!
He immediately ordered Tuoli and Xirimo each to lead 1,500 cavalry to outflank the enemy, and he himself led 2,000 Chinese troops to press on.

Dabalagan, which means "wave" in Mongolian, is an Albaniaha (head of ten households) of the Huite tribe, commanding ten soldiers. Using him as an arrow, the eleven warriors formed a column and followed the leader of the hundred households to charge.

Arrows continued to rain down from him. He lowered his body, took off his bow and arrows, and after approaching the enemy's formation, he flew up and hit the enemy with an arrow. Then he held the knife in his left hand and cut off the spears in front of the formation, and thrust out the lance in his right hand. The slightly rotating spear point penetrated the chest of a spearman. Gently press down at an angle, use the inertia to pull the spear tip out of the corpse, and then stab another enemy.

The Mongolian army is composed of countless warriors like Dabaragan, who made the Mongolian cavalry famous.

The Kuche army could not resist and collapsed.

Bolu was only surrounded by the roaring Mongolian army, and the arrogance of the famous family was gone. At this moment, he just wanted to survive. Throwing away his helmet and armor, he knelt down on the ground and yelled four words: "The last general is willing to surrender!"

When someone tied him up with five flowers and presented him in front of Dadaiji, Gaomudalai became very angry when he saw this kid, "You are the local guard? How dare you offend our military power? You are really overestimating your own capabilities!" Go down and kill him!"

Bolu suddenly felt a chill on his neck, struggled desperately and shouted: "Don't kill me, I am still useful to Dadaiji!"

"What use is a waste like you to me?" Nomudalei cast a disdainful side glance at him.

"If you don't kill me, I will persuade Abu Hadi to surrender for you," Bolu shouted hoarsely.

"Haha, Abu Hadi is a dignified governor, how can you surrender just by asking for it?" Nomudale didn't believe it.

"What you don't know is that the last general is a member of a well-known local family and has some friendship with Abu Hadi. This person has always been timid and timid in fighting. If you bluff and let him know that you have a strong army, he will definitely surrender."

Nomudalei looked at Bolu and thought for a moment. He was just a prisoner. Even if he was released, it would not be a pity. "Okay, let me go back to Kuqa. If you dare to cheat, I will seize the last five horses and quarter them."

Bolu only returned to Kuqa City and met Abu Hadi with a face full of shame, "Aqim Bek, I will be ashamed in the end, Luntai City is lost."

"What! Five thousand troops actually only defended Luntai City for less than a day before losing Luntai City?" Abu Hadi was stunned. "Aqimubek, it's not that the general is incompetent, but that the enemy is too strong! The Mongols in this southern expedition are not just the Huit tribe, but the entire Oirat coalition, with a strength of 50,000, so they can easily defeat Turpan and capture "To Luntai City", Bolu only started to bluff, and in one fell swoop the number of the Mongolian army reached 50,000.

"fifty thousand!"

Abu Hadi felt dizzy and was so frightened that his back was wet with sweat. He actually forgot to hold Boruzhi responsible for the loss of land. Instead, he asked about the plan, "Now there are only 5,000 defenders left in the city. What do you think should be done?" good?"

Bolu was secretly happy. Even though he was a dignified governor, he was actually just a coward!
He pretended to hesitate and said slowly: "According to the general's plan, it is absolutely impossible to defeat them. If you want to keep your power and wealth, the only way is to surrender to the Mongols."

"Surrender?" Abu Hadi hesitated. "The Mongols are cruel and easy to kill. Surrendering may not end well."

"Aqimubek, the last general thought the same thing when he was captured, thinking that he would definitely die. But the Huite tribe Nomdaleda Taiji was very kind and treated his subordinates Sabir, Alimu and other Turpan generals very well. That's it. Dadaiji will not even kill such a rotten talent as the last general. If you surrender, you will definitely be put to good use."

"That's it." Abu Hadi nodded slowly, "Go and see Dadaiji. If he is willing to let me continue to serve as Kuqa Azimubek, I am willing to lead my troops to surrender."

Bolu only returned to the Mongolian military camp and told Abu Hadi's conditions. Nomudale agreed on the spot. Haha, it was just a false name for a governor. As long as the defenders abandoned their weapons, I could do whatever I wanted. Why, could that guy still dare to rebel?
When the day agreed for surrender arrived, Abu Hadi ordered the defenders to leave the city and abandon their weapons. When he reached the gate of the city, he was blocked by someone, but it was Gazana Qibok Aisha who was in charge of land taxation. This man hung himself at the city gate with a thick rope to prevent the defenders from leaving the city.

"Aisha, what are you doing? Come down quickly," Abu Hadi screamed.

"Aqimubek, Mongolians are like wolves. If you surrender, you will be unlucky. I can't bear to see you humiliated, so I have to take the first step." After saying this, Aisha pulled out the dagger and placed it on the thick rope.

"You idiot, if you don't surrender now, you will be truly humiliated if you wait until the Mongols enter the city and then surrender." Abu Hadi was furious and ordered his men to open the city gate and surrender.

"Plop", Aisha's body fell from the city gate and her soul died in Kuqa.

But Abu Hadi didn't even look at it and walked out of the city regardless.

The five thousand defenders took off their armor, abandoned their swords and guns, and lined up neatly, waiting for the Mongols to deal with them.

Nasutu walked to Nomudale and whispered, "Dataiji, Abu Hadi has a high position and may not really submit to him. It is better to dismantle his subordinates and resettle them, so that he will not be able to make big waves."

Nomudale nodded, called Abu Hadi and said with a smile: "I keep my word. I am still serving Kuqa Aqimubek. I only need to take care of the civil affairs. I, the Mongolian warrior, will take care of the army."

After saying that, he couldn't help but divide the five thousand surrendered troops into subordinate generals such as Sabir, Alimu, and Bolu.

Abu Hadi dared to be angry but dared not speak out, and he servilely welcomed the Mongolian army into the city.

In order to make the most of him, Nomdale also ordered him to surrender Baicheng in the west of Kuqa.

Pay homage to the city guard Aizimaiti, which means "hero" in Uighur language. When the hero saw the letter urging surrender, he surrendered without saying a word.

After capturing Kuqa, Nomdale eliminated the old and weak from the surrendered army, and added another 6,000 troops. The total strength increased to 15,000, and his power increased greatly. Not being greedy enough, he actually wanted to continue going south to attack and destroy the Yarkand Khanate. In order to prevent his troops from becoming exhausted after a long battle, they ordered them to rest in Kuqa for ten days.
