Desert Eagle Suletan Khan

Chapter 475: Samarkand is bloody and cold (Part )

"The Battle of Samarkand"

The famous city in the river is praised as the first.

Step off the dragon colt and let the horse hoof.

Every generation in the country has heroic aspirations;
Raise millions of troops to fight in the West Pole.

In the guard tent outside Samarkand, Great Khan Lotus, who claimed to be the best in the world in literature, martial arts, and martial arts, was composing a poem with a splash of ink. When you win a battle, you will naturally feel happy. When you feel happy, you will want to write poetry. No matter how bad your poetry is, you will not worry about being praised.

"Good! The Khan's poems are so heroic!"

“Write all the prowess of David’s mighty warriors!”

"How can little Samarkand stop the hooves of the Khan?"

The flood of flattery made Suletan feel like a poet. Such a good poem, but it is a pity that there is no fine wine and no beautiful women singing and dancing. In fact, it’s very easy to drink and play with beautiful women. There are all kinds of beauties from Kazakh, Uzbek, Tajik, and Kyrgyz. As long as he reveals a little bit of his thoughts, the loyal ministers who understand the holy will will arrange everything.

But you can't do this. I am the commander of the army. If I indulge in wine and sex, wouldn't it hurt morale? So you have to hold it in! Thinking of the ladies far away in Lhasa, I couldn't help but feel my heart fluttering. However, the desire for imperial hegemony was still overwhelming. "Order the entire army to be on alert to prevent the Bukhara army in the city from jumping over the wall in a hurry," someone calmly ordered.

A mischievous sunrise climbed into the sky, the rich dawn fog began to be driven thin by the breeze, and wisps of cooking smoke gave off the aroma of food. The soldiers buried the pots to make rice, and the soldiers washed themselves and waited for food. It is natural for soldiers to eat food. If they don’t have enough to eat, how will they have the strength to attack the city?
Inside the South Gate of Samarkand, two hundred elephants are ready to go. There is a sword player near each of the four legs. There is a driver and two archers sitting on the elephant. In this era, their impact is unmatched; Behind the elephant soldiers are a thousand heavy cavalry, both men and horses wearing armor, holding axes, hammers, maces and other heavy weapons; behind the heavy cavalry are four thousand wearing turbans, fur helmets, chain mail, and chain plate armor. , four mirror armor, etc., light cavalry holding bows, arrows, spears, and swords. The Uzbek cavalry is famous for its fierceness and good fighting skills. In battle, it often uses a tactic called "Turuq Horse", which concentrates elite warriors on both wings and cooperates with the Chinese army to outflank the enemy in a crescent formation. However, with the development of commerce and the affluence of life, some Uzbeks changed from nomadic to settled and lost the skills of their ancestors on horseback and hunting, but they are still a formidable force. Behind the cavalry were fifteen thousand infantry, equipped with swords and armor made by skilled Persian craftsmen, full of murderous intent.

Looking at the more than 20,000 elite soldiers who had been prepared, Subhan's palms broke into cold sweat. Success or failure depended on this! But his face was as calm as water, and he calmly said to Lieutenant General Curry, "This time the main force of our army will go out to fight in the city, and I will leave it to you to defend the city."

"Don't worry, Emir, I have sent 30,000 people to the city to help in the battle, and we will be able to defend Samarkand impregnably," Curry said loudly.

"it is good!"

Subhan waved his hand, "Attack!"

The heavy south gate opened, and two hundred elephants spread their hooves and galloped with great momentum, followed by a thousand heavy cavalry, fifteen thousand infantry, and four thousand light cavalry spread out to the two wings.

"Uh~uh~uh~" With a low roar, the behemoths swung their proboscis and slowly approached the Guards camp. When the Guards first arrived, the trenches in front of the camp had not been completely dug. In many places, only fences and thin earth walls were built. The driver directed the elephant to reach the camp from where there was no ditch. The elephant's trunk swung, pulling down the fence, and the elephant's hooves kicked wildly, knocking down the earth wall. Quickly approaching the Guards camp.

"Look, what is that?"

"Monsters! There are monsters!"

Most of the Guardsmen had never seen such a huge thing. Both men and horses were completely frightened and chaos began.

"Damn! Those are not monsters! They are elephants! Shoot them with fire blunderbuss! Use torches to dazzle their eyes," shouted the guard general Du Qianhu Gu Mubu. This Durbotei Ji went to India when he was young and knew the habits of these big guys.

"Whoosh~whoosh~whoosh~"

Loading the musket was too troublesome, so the Guard warriors were still accustomed to using bows and arrows. The arrow is like a locust, but it is difficult to penetrate the elephant's skin, which in turn brings out the ferocious nature of the beast. "Moo~moo~" they roared, the infrasound waves they emitted were difficult for humans to hear, and only a low roar could be heard. They rushed in, rolled up the guards with their big trunks and threw them violently. The elephants trampled people into flesh with their hooves, turning the guards camp upside down. Then the heavy cavalry of Bukhara rushed in and slashed everywhere, adding to the chaos. .

Gumubu gritted his teeth, lit a firecracker himself, and shot towards the elephant's left leg. "Bah!" the elephant screamed and fell to the ground.

Sha, the commander of the Bukhara elephant soldiers, saw this scene. He sneered, opened his bow and arrow, and shot an arrow. Gumubu was hit by the arrow in his throat and fell down.

"Commander Sha, the emir has orders to advance in the direction of the Khan's flag of the Guards," the cavalry commander Masang galloped in front of him.

Sha nodded and joined forces with Masang to attack Sultan's dragon and lion banner. Subhan also personally led the infantry to follow.

The victorious guards were in chaos, and the Tegusichaoketu, Enhebatu, Narisong, Alatancang, and Elinqinbatuer tribes were dispersed one after another.

Looking at the dragon and lion banner in front of him, Subhan shouted: "Whoever kills Lotus Khan will be rewarded with ten thousand gold and promoted to the third level!"

"Haorui~Haorui~Haorui~" The morale of the Bukhara army was like a rainbow.

"The matter is urgent! Please take refuge temporarily and let your servants stop the enemy," Luo Bu Zang, the head of ten thousand households in the Chinese army, requested.

"We can't retreat and we don't need to retreat! Our army's strength is five times that of the enemy's, and most of them are elite soldiers. The Bukhara people are just relying on a lucky sneak attack. As long as we persist, our army will definitely regain the advantage! If we retreat, we will be truly defeated. " Sultan refused and calmly ordered: "Luobuzang, you immediately gather the firecrackers of the Chinese army, line up to shoot the enemy, and then order the infantry to light fires and torches; send the order to Mandu Latu , Saihan attacked the enemy's two flanks; he blew the trumpet and ordered all the troops to move closer to my Khan banner."

"Yes!"

When Sha's elephant soldiers rushed to the front of the Guards Khan Banner, they were greeted by five rows of firecrackers with a thousand men in each row and piles of torches.

Although elephants are afraid of fire, most of these war elephants have been specially trained. Except for a few who turned around and ran wildly, most of them continued to rush forward.

As if he had not seen Sultan, he climbed onto the Khan's Platform and pulled out the Yilit sword in a very impressive gesture to direct the battle. At this moment, he must let his subordinates see that he is still fighting and not running away.

"Look, it's the Great Khan~" More and more guards saw the Great Khan on the high platform, and their panicked military morale solidified again.

"Follow me, kill Sultan", the sand monster shouted, and ordered the driver to urge the war elephant to rush towards the high platform. The military merit of killing the Emperor of Wei made him crazy.

"Shoot!" Luo Buzang ordered fiercely.

"Bah~bah~bah~"

The dense rain of bullets continued, and no matter how rough the elephant skin was, it could not stop the blunderbuss. Each war elephant fell to the ground miserably.

"Huu~hu~hu~" Sha's mount waved its proboscis unwillingly and slowly fell to the ground.

The quick-thinking Sha jumped off the elephant's back, and was about to continue fighting when his body suddenly trembled violently, with a bloody hole in his chest. He slowly fell down unwillingly but helplessly.
