The mist before the coming morning emitted some chills, which made the defenders who had been staying up all night yawn unconsciously. The Jiuzhou Army had surrounded Yarkand City for three days. Although the Jiuzhou Army had not really started to attack Yarkand City, the siege that lasted for three days made the defenders in the city very uncomfortable, as if there was a stone pressing on their chest.

The Yarkand officer, who was on the wheel, pressed the hilt of the knife nervously and looked at the Jiuzhou Army barracks on the wall, which had not yet moved. The dark night in the sky had gradually faded, and he became even more nervous, his fingers were trembling slightly.

Next to him, there were more than a dozen equally nervous soldiers looking forward to it.

Suddenly, a hand was pressed on his shoulder, and a dry old face appeared behind him: "General Wali, please relax. There are many believers in our city. The pagans and the Central Plains army outside the city cannot capture our Yarkand city."

The general, known as Wali, was startled, his pupils shrank suddenly, and he looked back with difficulty, and found that the person coming was Ishak, the spiritual leader of the Montenegro Sect.

"Wali, what are you afraid of?" Ishak saw that the guard Wali was frightened and couldn't help but feel a little suspicious.

"Oh... I was observing the deployment of the Jiuzhou Army under the city just now, but I was lost for a moment and was frightened by Lord Hezhuo." Wali immediately calmed down and pretended to be calm, "Why did Lord Hezhuo come to patrol the city defense early in the morning?"

"It's hard to fall asleep when I get older. I'm worried about defense and can't sleep, so I'm here to see if I don't bring anyone." Ishak came to the edge of the city wall with a cane and looked down at the camp of the Jiuzhou Army.

The tents of the Jiuzhou Army under the city were densely packed. The main force of the Jiuzhou Army, the logistics and slave troops, had a total of about 40,000 people. There were also a large number of carriages, cattle and sheep, and artillery positions facing the city walls. Many soldiers of the Jiuzhou Army were patrolling with muskets on their backs. Some of them patrolled all night, and some woke up in the morning to change defenses.

"I didn't expect that there were so many enemies that the pagans colluded with. They had embezzled more than half of our territory. It was really damn." Ishak saw the strong army of the Jiuzhou army, and he knew that it was not easy to defend the city this time, and his tone was unconsciously revealed that he was furious.

"The soldiers of our entire city will sacrifice their lives to protect the Holy City!" Wali said in a heavy tone.

When he spoke, he glanced out of the corner of his eyes and swept the people behind Ishak. Because he came to patrol the city defense too early, Ishak, the leader of the Montenegro Sect, only brought a few guards. These guards were also shocked by the powerful Jiuzhou Army lineup below, and they were observing the Jiuzhou Army's camp.

"Allah will bless you," Ishak said carelessly.

Guru Wali couldn't help swallowing. After he hesitating for a few seconds, he nervously winked at a soldier beside him.

The soldiers next to him were hesitant when they saw Wali's eyes, but they still retreated quietly.

"Mr. Hezhuo, at this time of day, the Central Plains army will soon use artillery to bombard the city. Your status is noble and you should not risk going up to the city wall. Why should I send you down?" Wali secretly wiped a cold sweat and said to Ishak.

"No hurry, I'll take a look again. Maybe I can find the enemy's flaws, cough cough." Ishak coughed, as if his throat was blocked by mucus and he couldn't breathe.

Ishak stood on the city wall for about a quarter of an hour, but he was not a soldier after all, and he knew very little about the marching and formation of the Central Plains army. He could not see any flaws even after watching for a long time. The key is that in the face of absolute strength, as long as the Jiuzhou Army is not sluggish and is a little more guarded, it is a wall of iron. Only the Jiuzhou Army attacks, and how many soldiers come out of the city will give people their heads.

"Oh, cough cough..." Ishak, who could not find the flaws of the Jiuzhou Army, shook his head with a headache and said to the several guards who followed, "Let's go down."

"I'll send you Lord He Zhuo down." Wali led a dozen soldiers to escort Ishak and others.

When the group was about to go down from the stone steps of the city wall, a group of soldiers were on the stone steps. The soldiers lowered their heads and did not seem to see Ishak and others in the downtown. They accidentally bumped into Ishak. Ishak's center of gravity became unstable, and the crutches in his hand rolled down the stone steps, making a thud sound.

"Bastard! Don't you have eyes? This is Lord He Zhuo!" Ishak's guards quickly hurriedly supported Ishak, for fear that something would happen to the spiritual leader.

"Take them all down and kill them." Ishak was still scared, his face turned pale, and he pointed at the soldiers who offended him in anger.

"General Wali, is this your subordinate? They offended Lord Hezhuo and should be beheaded and made public. Why don't you execute it quickly?" Ishak's guard shouted at Wali.

Wali heard the words of the Ishak Guards and said to his left and right subordinates: "You haven't heard Lord Hezhuo's words, so why don't you take action?"

"Yes!" The soldiers of Wali pulled out the swords at their waists one after another.

Ishak looked unlucky, and his guards let out hideous smiles. All the soldiers who offended Ishak in front of him were going to be executed.

Woo... A long sword pierced through his heart, and blood flowed down the tip of the sword. Ishak's guard's mouth was covered by the Warri soldiers, and he could not even scream.

At the moment when Wali attacked, several Ishak's guards had been killed by the soldiers surrounding them, silently. Because dozens of soldiers led by Wali surrounded this corner, the soldiers from other places did not know what was going on here.

The only one who was not killed was also covered by his mouth. He was old and weak and unable to struggle, and could only watch Wali lift the veil of hypocrisy.

"Mr. Hezhuo, I didn't think I'd attack you so soon, but I didn't expect you to come to the door on your own initiative. There's no way. Maybe this is the will of Allah." Wali said with a ferocious look on his face, "Are they the people who were killed by you three days ago to take revenge?"

"Woooooooo..." Ishak's eyes widened, as if he was about to say something, but was covered by the strong soldier and could not make a clear sound.

"You don't need to say anything, it's useless to say it, because you're going to die soon. We won't tolerate the long dreams of nights." Wali walked closer to Ishak step by step, and the dagger in his hand pierced into Ishak's chest...

By the time Vari came out of the crowd, Ishak and his guards had no living.

"Open the city gate and welcome the Central Plains army and two Lords He Zhuo into the city!" Wali said to his subordinates while wiping the blood stains of the dagger on his armor.
