Achitai did not die. He followed the first batch of soldiers who broke through the siege and rushed into the Jihun River. The cold river water did not kill him, but instead gave the Achitai, who was born and raised nearby, the possibility of survival.

The sheepskin water bag was filled, and he also plundered other people's water bags and dry food. Even though he was soaked in the water, the food was enough for him to walk in the desert.

When Achitai was young, he once crossed the desert and Gobi, but he was unwilling to leave now. Instead, he looked back at the former Amu City, which was so prosperous.

Merchants who come and go will rest and sell goods here. The Silk Road of the Song Dynasty must pass here before continuing to move westward.

But now, this once prosperous city has turned into ruins, and the harsh sounds in the city have disappeared. The firearms of the Song people are very powerful and can easily kill a group of strong warriors.

Any armor is useless in front of them, without any effort to wind the strings or complicated aiming. You just need to aim at the enemy and move your fingers to take the enemy's life.

The moment this terrifying weapon appeared, Achitai felt his hair stand up, and he hid in the bushes and did not dare to make any moves, and even his breathing was abandoned.

It was not until the Song army left that he slowly emerged from the tunnel, surrounded by corpses. Over the past few days, he had figured out the way of the Song army's attack.

The attacks were like wave after wave, constantly weakening the defense power of Amu's city. This was already a corner of the city, and no more people were driven here.

He dragged a corpse into the tunnel, lit an oil lamp and observed it carefully. This was a soldier wearing iron leaf armor. There was no obvious wound except the knife on his neck.

But Achitai knew that this soldier was not killed by the Song army's horizontal sword, but was defeated by a firearm, and the throat was cut by a long sword behind the human.

After searching carefully on his chest, a small hole in the iron leaf armor caught his attention. When he opened the broken armor leaf, he could see a hideous hole appearing in the soldier's chest.

The hole was very deep. Achitai pulled his fingers into it and barely touched a hard thing. It took a lot of effort to pick the thing out of his body, and a piece of metal appeared in his hand.

He must tell the emperor about this thing later, and he will only tell the emperor everything he saw and heard, otherwise he will not be able to escape death.

The Song army's firearms were too powerful, and the Seljuk warriors had no power to resist in front of them. The armor could not be blocked, and the shield could not be blocked, and the power was too great.

The most important thing is that the operation is simple and the accuracy is extremely high. He has seen the steps of Song Jun using muskets, and the action has been engraved into his mind.

Throw the body out of the tunnel again and blocked it with stones. The land here was very loose. Achitai collapsed the tunnel a little without crawling for a while. Only in this way can he ensure his safety.

After leaving Amu City, he breathed a sigh of relief and ran directly to the edge of a river bank. The high Jingguan had already been built, and there would be no chance if he didn't leave.

The two high Jingguan gave him infinite fear. The nearly 600,000 soldiers and civilians in the city were probably not left. The power of the Song army was not something they could resist. The Song army now proved their strength.

Jingguan is much more shocking than the crosses of the Romans. Even if it is filled with crosses on a road, it is not as shocking as Jingguan to people.

He did not dare to watch this Jingguan. Achitai was worried that the courage he must have would be wiped out by them. During this period, he often had many thoughts, which were related to escaping. He was even unwilling to return to the capital, but left Seljuk and walked northward, the farther he walked, the better.

After crossing Jihun River again, the cold river water made him awake. At this time, only by returning to the capital with important news could the emperor know the power of the Song Dynasty. This was beyond the power of all the troops in the world at present.

What would happen if everyone in the Song army had such a firearm?

This idea was extinguished by Achitai as soon as it arose. The Song army could not have equipped such firearms on a large scale, otherwise Amucheng would have been razed to the ground long ago, and the Indians would not have resisted for such a long time.

Achitai, who was ashore, looked back at Amucheng, who had calmed down, and quickly walked into the desert, where he hid a lot of things.

There were camels, water bags, and dry food. It was very convenient to leave. When Achitai got on the camels and started rushing. He was unwilling to leave his life here. The more he went to the country, the more he felt that he had survived.

As long as you arrive at the largest oasis in the desert, Maru City, you will survive. Achitai knows that the city is the last line of defense of the Seljuk Empire.

With the desert as a natural barrier, it is difficult for the Song army to defeat Malu City, but once Malu City is lost, the defense line of the Seljuk Empire in the east will collapse. As a commander of the side, Achitai understands the role of Amu City strategically.

But the emperor's series of actions made him wonder why this was happening. At least it shouldn't be the case in strategy. Even if the 600,000 military and civilians were not opponents of the Song army, if Mamuliuk cavalry were there, coupled with the tenacious resistance of the soldiers in the city, it would be possible to delay some time, and the attack on the Song army's rations road.

Although it may not necessarily defeat the Song army, it can force the Song army to withdraw. After all, the strategic significance of Amucheng is also very important.

Only by cooperating with Amu City and Malu City can Seljuk’s eastern defense line be foolproof.

But when Achitai arrived at Malu City, he realized that he was wrong. The city had been armed to his teeth and suddenly appeared in Achitai's vision, causing him to tremble all over.

Unexpectedly, during this period, the emperor had turned this place into a strong city in the desert. The once low wall disappeared, but a tall city built of stones.

These stones are hard to find in the desert. Since they can appear here, it also means that a large number of slaves are buried in the desert.

Not only are there cities, but also military camps and garrisons, but this is not the most important thing. The most important thing is that when Achitai saw the guard general here, the guard general was packing his luggage.

Soon the city will no longer exist, or the entire oasis will no longer exist. The guard received the order from Emperor Tugluk, ordering him to destroy the city and the oasis, and make this desert completely turn into a place of death.

This is a cruel order. Without the existence of Malu City, it is difficult to cross this desert, especially with a large army, with more personnel and supplies, which is even more impossible.

On the contrary, a small caravan and camel team can pass through here under the guidance of experienced masters. This does not mean that the trade route is cut off, but on the contrary, it is a brand new beginning.

Destroying Maru City means Seljuk’s compromise. Tugluk destroyed the Song army’s attack and also destroyed the possibility of Seljuk’s future use of troops to the east.
