Desert Eagle Suletan Khan

Chapter 542 The Fall of Turkestan (Part )
"Send the order, the entire army advances to the front of Albulak Mountain." At this moment, Sultan no longer concealed his strength, and more than 100,000 guardsmen came with overwhelming force.

Looking at the enemy flag covering the sky, the gray-haired Governor Dennis knew that he had been fooled. I thought that the main force of the Guards was conquering the tribes in Zhongyuzi who refused to surrender, but I didn't expect that they would pacify Zhongyuzi so quickly and come to Turkestan City. Looking at the number, the enemy has more than 100,000, and we only have 7,000. The offensive was so fierce that even if he asked the Great Khan for help, it would probably be too late. Besides, the Guards Navy was attacking the city. How many troops and horses could the Great Khan send to reinforce him?

The veteran general, who had spent his whole life in the military, had a premonition of failure. He silently tightened his braids that had become loose due to the fighting, fastened his shirt, and commanded his subordinates to make the final resistance.

Thousands of enemy troops came one after another, and there were fewer and fewer robes around them.

"Huh~huh~" The white-headed veteran held the knife and gasped for air. He was old and had been fighting for too long, so his physical strength was inevitably exhausted.

A centurion of the guard saw the opportunity and stabbed him with a spear. The spear was like a snake's letter. Governor Dennis seemed to have eyes in his back. Without even looking at the enemy, he suddenly drew his sword and tilted it backwards, straight into the centurion's belly.

The setting sun was like blood, the sound of fighting was fading, more and more guards were climbing up the city wall, and the forts on the hills on both sides were replaced with fishing poles and flags.

A wretched corpse was covered with scars, and the ravines were stained with blood. Denis, the central governor of the Kazakh Khanate, was martyred for his country. Except for a few who escaped and a few who were captured, most of his seven thousand men were martyred for their country, but they killed eight thousand enemies.

Looking at the corpse of this brave veteran, Uluk did not dare to insult him lightly. After respectfully performing a military salute, he ordered a generous burial. In this battle, his Tashkent-Bukhara army lost more than 4,000 people and was severely weakened. However, under the temptation of the title, he only ordered his men to rest for a night, and then asked the Lotus Khan again to continue to take charge of attacking Turk. Vanguard of Stan City.

Originally, Sultan was worried that he would be afraid of fighting due to heavy casualties, but he was so obedient. He praised him and ordered him to lead his troops quickly and lead the army to respond.

"Great Khan, the Guards have captured the Orbulak Valley, Governor Denis has been killed, and the Guards are heading towards the city of Turkestan." The trusted general Kang Sajan brought unfavorable news to Touq Khan.

The young man was young after all, and his body trembled when he heard this. The soldiers and civilians of Turkestan City were already having a hard time dealing with the Guards' naval division. Now the enemy's land division was coming again. The loss of the Orbulak Valley meant that the Guardsmen could march straight in and reach the gates of Turkestan City.

"Khan, nothing can be done, please evacuate as soon as possible," Qiaogel said anxiously.

"Yes, please ask the Great Khan to immediately withdraw to the city of Saraishk, join up with Ali Khan, and then unite with the caliphate of Oros, Crimean Khanate, and Ottoman Turkey. There is still a lot to be done to revive Kazakhstan," Kang Sajan said. Also advised.

The words of his subordinates awakened Tou Kehan. Indeed, the city could no longer be defended and must be retreated immediately. He regained his composure and decisively ordered, "Notify the entire city's soldiers, civilians and civilians to retreat westward immediately." At this time, the Kazakh Khanate was still mainly nomadic. Even in the capital city of Turkestan, the vast majority of the people were herdsmen, and migration was the norm. In fact, the city was already prepared to flee if it could not hold on. After hearing the Khan's order, the people quickly packed up their belongings and fled westward with their relatives, cattle and sheep.

Once luck comes to a person, nothing can stop it. Due to the fierce fighting for many days, the Guards Navy was exhausted. That day Song ordered the Navy to rest for a day before attacking the city.

It was on this day that the Kazakh army began to evacuate. Since the navy did not attack the city, the Tashkent-Bukhara Army of Uluk became the first guard to enter the city, making great achievements easily. .

What a good Uluk, not only good at fighting, but also good at ingratiating himself. He ordered people to open the city gates and decorate them with lanterns and lights to welcome the jade feet of the Lotus Khan. The Great Khan comes, and he comes in style!
Looking at the majestic city that haunted him so many times in the distance, Suletan was filled with emotion. He was not in a hurry to enter the city. He rode on horseback, pointed at the city wall with his riding whip, composed a poem and sighed:
"Impressions of Entering the City of Turkestan"

In the past, we encountered obstacles and vicissitudes of life,
Today there are men riding horses and holding whips.

Things are constantly changing,
The rain hits the banana trees and spring comes again.

After reciting the poem, he paused deliberately to enjoy the applause of the crowd of flatterers, and then walked calmly and calmly to the city gate. But when you see lights and colorful decorations everywhere, some people crowd the streets to welcome you. These people were unwilling to leave their place of residence for nomadic life, so they were forced to "warmly welcome" them by troops sent by the Uluks.

Seeing that Uluk was so good at doing things, Sultan was so pleased that he had no words to say and immediately made Uluk the third-class Turkestan Burg.

After the sealing was completed, the morale of the whole army was greatly boosted, and the generals requested to be the vanguard to pursue Tou Kehan. In particular, some Mongolian generals were clamoring not to allow the surrendered generals to complete all their merits. In particular, Alatancang, Mandu Latu and Saihan caused the most serious trouble. These three people were all Sultan's confidants, so they had no choice but to give him face, so they simply ordered the three generals to lead 10,000 troops each as the vanguard. Whoever catches Tou Kehan ​​first will be credited.

In order to prevent any mistakes, the Great Khan personally led an army to follow him. The tiger father has no sons. Although Tou Kehan ​​is young, he has shown excellent leadership and military talents. If he does not take advantage of the opportunity to get rid of the little tiger before it grows into a big tiger, he will be a serious problem in the future. The psychological shadow that Yang Gilhan brought to him was too great, so he made up his mind to eradicate it, worked tirelessly, and vowed to pursue the tiger head to the ends of the earth.

In order to boost his morale, the Great Khan even took off his shirt and declared in public, "I will bestow this robe on anyone who can defeat him by beheading him."

Don't look at it as just an old robe. It is the royal possession of the Great Khan. It is stained with dragon energy inside and outside, and it is rich in gold.

"Instruct the entire army to march day and night to be the first to find Tou Ke Xiao'er," Mandu Ratu shouted, waving his mace.

"People don't take off their armor, and horses don't leave their saddles. They are not allowed to leave the horse except to eat and pay respects," Saihan said anxiously.

"Tell the warriors to throw away all bulky supplies and bring only half a month's worth of dry food and water, a lance, a knife, a bow, and a pot of arrows. We will not give up until we behead them," Alatan said. Cang's voice was both gentle and firm.

Szanak, a small city, is located at the junction of Dayuzi and Zhongyuzi. It is an important transit station to the city of Saleshk.

The long cavalry was heading towards the city, and they were the fleeing Kazakhs. During this migration, Tou Kehan ​​led 30,000 soldiers and 60,000 people who refused to surrender. The team was huge, like a giant snake, with no beginning or end in sight, vast and boundless.

"Gudong~ Gudong~ Gudong~" Tou Kehan ​​took off the water bag and drank a few sips, then ordered: "We will camp at Szanak tonight."
