Chapter 41: Wild Spurting on the Red River (5) Kunduz (Part 2)
However, this time, he really felt the charm of Truqin ammunition storm.
The terrifying charm of a death storm.
Although his three thousand elite soldiers were immediately powerful, he obviously did not expect to encounter another obstacle here this time. Naturally, he did not have the equipment to attack the camp, and he did not even have a shield. So whether he asked the cavalry to ride on horseback and try to rush over the low wall, or dismounted and crawled forward to try to approach the low wall, he returned without success.
After losing hundreds of people, Sadik became frightened. He was no longer ready to continue to lose his elite. He was ready to bypass the camp and go to the battlefield in front. In his mind, as long as he defeated the main force in front and let the Kundu Shiren and the Talukans come to attack the camp without considering their lives and death, they could still win.
But at this time, the situation of the battle was no longer what he imagined.
Yan Dunhuang is back!
In fact, the main force's battle ended in an instant.
Although the wind and sand are rolling, it is still clear when both sides meet. The scimitar of the Afghan tribal cavalry is not threatening in front of the Truqin pistol. Moreover, they have never seen such a tactic, and the war horses are also frightened, making their numerical advantage unable to be used at all.
The reason why the battle lasted for a long time was entirely because the Truchen cavalry was pursuing tribal cavalry everywhere.
When Sadik personally showed up here with his army, the war was almost over. Concerned about Ashina's safety, Yan Dunhuang left a regiment of cavalry to continue to clear away the remaining enemy cavalry, and he quickly returned with two regiments of cavalry.
Soon he knew what was ahead, so he walked around the sides of the camp and suddenly appeared behind Sadiq!
Another melee, but the battle is similar to the previous situation. Compared with the tribal cavalry, Sadik's so-called elite only has one more piece of leather armor.
What's more, when Yan Dunhuang suddenly appeared behind them, Sadik's elite were completely unable to adopt the tactic of setting up a formation and shooting with bows and arrows as before, and then conducting assaults. They could only enter the melee as soon as possible.
In the cavalry battle just now, Yan Dunhuang's troops suffered some losses, mostly because of obstruction of sight and hitting the opponent's horse. Not many were actually damaged due to the battle, so his two regiments remained basically intact.
Two thousand people face more than two thousand people. When one hedge between the two sides ends, the battle comes to an abrupt end!
Sadik hurriedly stepped onto the wooden bridge of the Kanabad River under the desperate escort of dozens of personal guards. Unfortunately, the wooden bridge was too narrow. Before, Sadik had to come over one by one when he came over. Now it is important to escape. He must be riding a horse and all of them stepped onto the wooden bridge!
The wooden bridge shaking violently. When they rushed halfway, with a "click", the wooden bridge suddenly collapsed!
Sadik and his party all fell into the cold Kanabad River mixed with ice!
Although it is already early spring, the weather in Afghanistan is still very cool. Sadik and others are wearing sheepskin robes. As soon as they fall into the Kanabad River, they immediately feel deep fear - both the cold and the bone-stricken feeling and the continuous despair!
At this moment, Sadik suddenly felt a pain. When he looked down, he saw an iron claw with a rope flying from the shore. The iron claw not only hooked his arm, but also hooked his flesh!
At this time, the fear of death defeated the gap in captivity, and he pulled it to the shore by the Truqins - his size and size were also a great Khan from the large Afghan tribe. I believe Ashi would not kill himself casually.
Sure enough, not only did Asina not kill him, she also threw a clean set of clothes for him to change into.
By the bonfire, Sadiq, who was the only one who loved the lonely, felt a little disappointed now and curled up beside the fire without saying a word.
Asina sat opposite him and looked at him with a smile.
After a while, he asked, "How did you do Orgler?"
Sadik then sighed, "I didn't do anything to him, I just bet him here, why? Could it be that he secretly sent a message to you?"
Asina shook her head, "It would be great if this is the case. I wouldn't have crossed the river. However, there were flat places along the way. When approaching Kunduz, a large barren mountain suddenly appeared. Anyone would be alert. Once our Truqin army became alert, it would not leave too many flaws for the enemy."
He said again: "Your troops are over, and you fall into my hands again. I am really a little puzzled. Is our previous proposal not good? Our country helps you to obtain the position of Shah. With our country's ability, we must do what we say. Why do we do this?"
"I guess you are trying to make a profit by sitting there and watching Mahmoud and Timur Khan suffer losses, but you have fallen into my hands now and cannot get this profit. Not only can you not get it, but you may also lose the position of Khan of the Gilzai. Why is that hard?"
Sadik still didn't speak, Ashina continued, "I understand, you are planning to defeat me and then gain prestige beyond Mahmoud, and then create conditions for the unification of Afghanistan. I don't know what you think, even if you defeat Mahmoud, there are Ibn of Kandahar"
"What's more, Mahmoud is the great mullah of the entire Afghanistan, with a high prestige. He has disciples from large temples everywhere. Even if he is defeated, how can you easily conquer the Herat area?"
"You can only rely on us. You have also seen that although I only have one brigade, I can easily defeat several times the enemy under ambush. I have two brigades in Mazarish Sharif"
At this time, Sadik finally raised his head, "Do you want to take down Afghanistan with these three brigades?"
Asina shook her head, "My country has never thought of taking down Afghanistan. This place is too barren. Our country is not interested. It is just to open up the connection with the Indian region. My previous discussions with you were sincere, but I didn't expect you to cause trouble in secret."
"Is it possible to go back to the previous agreement?"
Ashina thought about it, then shook her head.
"It's impossible. Our country's emperor has a word, but he will never tolerate others going back on his word. So far, there is only one ending for all those who go back on their word."
"What is that?"
"What else? Of course, he and his tribe were completely destroyed!"
"What did you... do?"
"I have released your confidant back. If I guess correctly, your son and confidant who stayed in the Oasis of Balang, will definitely gather a large army to rescue you after learning that you were defeated in Kundus and that there is only one brigade of our country here."
"I can arrange it calmly in Kunduz and catch them all in one place"
"Hahaha," Sadik suddenly burst into laughter and said fiercely: "This time I was careless and only brought 10,000 people. However, my tribe can mobilize at least 50,000 troops. If your people can fight, how can they be the opponent of my 50,000 troops?"
Ashina also smiled and said, "My work has always been meticulous and meticulous. How could there be only these people? You know, our country has an army in Hualazimo, and now it has been transferred to Bukhara. There are two armies in Kazakh region. Two divisions may come to Karshi at any time."
....
After the battle, the elites of Sadiq, Kunduz and Talukan were all empty, and the leaders of all parties were either captured or killed, Asina easily took Kunduz!
Kunduz City, Asina met Orgrad.
"If you hadn't hung the black ball knot on the top of the big tent, I would have almost been fooled by Sadiq"
"Your Highness, this is all the protection of the immortal heaven"
"You still believe in immortality?"
"Report to your Highness, although we have converted to the twelve Imams, we have also added a lot of shamanism and some Lamaism things. Of course, this is just the habit of my tribe, and other Hazara people have completely converted to the Imaism."
"Well, how is Ebak there?"
"Your Highness, after Sadiq tricked me into Balang, he let the other Hazara leader take over my position"
"Saydick doesn't really want to attack Mazarri Sharif?"
"I guess yes, he just wanted to use the complex relationships in northern Afghanistan to deceive you. Since Mahmud is the great mullah of the empire, he could not surpass him in prestige. He could only use this matter to increase his prestige to overwhelm Mahmud"
"In our country, although the status of the Great Mullah is extremely high, it is mainly based on military merits, otherwise there would be no such figure as Dulani"
"Then tell me, how should we do the next step, or how do you view the current situation in Afghanistan?"
"You mean can Mahmoud defeat Timur Khan?"
"Yes"
"It's very difficult. Timur Khan has just been on the stage for a few years. Although he is a bit lewd and shameless, there is nothing wrong with it. Most of the Pashtuns are still facing him, not to mention that there is still a large army in Ibn in the south. If Mahmoud wants to attack Kabul, he must have been dispatched in full force. If Ibn attacks Herat at this time, he will be unable to advance or retreat."
"And..."
"What do you want to say, just say it"
"Your Highness, I'm thinking it through. This Mahmood must have been recruited by Sadik. Once he learns that Sadik is defeated in the north, he might retreat halfway."
"Oh?"
This section is something Ashina never thought of.
"If this is the case, then our country's idea of taking advantage of the opportunity that Afghans finally got together to destroy their vital forces will be dashed"
"But if you want to connect to the Indian region, you must take Kabul. If you want to take Kabul, you must let Mahmoud and Timur Khan fight. Oh, you shouldn't have put Sadik's confidant back just now."
"However, if we can support Sadiq, we can naturally support Mahmoud. Why not send people to negotiate with him? To strengthen his intention to attack Kabul?"
Then he said to him: "In this way, you will go on my behalf, and say that Truchen supports him to replace Timur Khan. Now our country has mostly taken over the lower reaches of the Indus River, where Ibn's army can be restrained there, and he can attack Kabul with confidence."
