Chapter 11 Yulongjie goes down
Finally, the two parties reached the following agreement:
Anusa will lead 30,000 elite cavalry across the Kizilkum Desert and unexpectedly arrive at Kizilkorda, because there is only a wall of less than two meters in the place. Under the attack of 30,000 finely armored Shivaji soldiers, the tribal cavalry there will definitely be no opponent.
If these 5,000 tribal cavalry were annihilated in one battle, they would definitely cause a violent shock in Zhongyuzi. The Dayuzi would cause a violent shock, which would allow the three major tribes of Krei, Naiman and Durat there to take the opportunity to rebel. Since the Hanhai Army's focus was on attacking the Junggar people in the east, they would not be able to withdraw from and destroy the rebels.
What's more, according to Mirza, once you learn about the Qinzha prairie, the Russians in the north and the Persians in the south will definitely respond, which will make the people of Daxia overwhelmed.
Mirza himself would inspire the Nogae people, Alan people, and Tatars who believed in the Tianfang Sect near the Caspian Sea to rebel. He had contacted these people long ago. Moreover, the Nogae people on the plains in southern Russia are the enemy of the Daxia people, so he will definitely not miss this opportunity.
Of course, these alone are not enough to make Anusa excited - who knows whether Zhongyuzi and Dayuzi's tribe will "rebelle?", and, Persians? Russians? How did they learn about the Qinzha prairie in a short time? How could they send troops as soon as possible after learning about it? What's more, there are Turkmen, Turkuts, and Kazakhs between the Persians and the Daxia people, Turkmens, and Kazakhs!
However, Anusa finally agreed to him. Mirza was also a cunning person, so he naturally would not believe him easily. He pretended to smile and said, "Big Prince, do you have confidence?"
Anusa also smiled and said, "Firstly, I have received the news that the Daxia people attacked the Junggars with all their might. The Junggars still have at least 100,000 tents, more than 100,000 cavalry, and they occupy a large area. In the face of the danger of destroying the country, they will definitely share the same hatred for the enemy and burst out with amazing combat power. Even if the Daxia people win in the end, they will not appear in a short time. As for the Qincha grassland, although they have moved into some tribes from the East, most of them are the former Kazakh tribes."
"These tribes have been under the jurisdiction of Kazakhstan for more than a hundred years. The talents of Daxia have been in less than ten years. It is obvious which one is more important. Therefore, if there is a real incitement, it will probably work."
"You are right. The tribal cavalry mobilized by the people of Daxia just to deal with the internal forces, but what they didn't expect was that Xiao Yun would cause trouble."
In fact, deep down, Anusa only recognized the first reason. He believed that the Junggars would not submit easily and would definitely hold back the Daxia Kingdom.
Mirza left with satisfaction. In order to prevent leaks, the two sides did not sign any paper agreement. In fact, during the Tang Dynasty, as the Tang army captives were taken to Central Asia, Asia Minor, the Arabian Peninsula, and the Shiva Oasis area, people had long learned the technique of making paper with reeds from the Amu River, and there was no shortage of paper.
Anusa sent a few female slaves to Mirza and Kathkar, and asked them to play in Yuejibenburg for a few days, and then replaced all the things of their camel caravan with agricultural products unique to Shiva Oasis, which allowed them to go back along the ancient desert road northwest of the Little Aral Sea.
When they set off, Anusa personally sent it twenty miles away, which made Mirza feel very comfortable and even more pleasant to him was that they encountered three large sandstorms when they came, but never encountered them when they returned.
"Is it my actions that moved Allah?"
Soon, the camel caravan arrived at Bainu, starting from here, according to the previous default border between the two sides, the pastures of Shiva Khanate to the east and the pastures of Xiaoyuz to the west, because there is a looming river called the Turgai River. This river originates from the Turgai Plateau in the north of the Aral Sea. For most of the time, the river flows through is mostly deserts, and the river is dry, and there is water only when the ice and snow melts briefly at the turn of spring and summer.
When I arrived here, I was about four hundred miles away from Mirza's old nest, Culisari, but after I arrived here, I didn't have to worry about the impact of the sandstorm. Although it was also deserted from here, it was not a desert, but a place where bare mountain buns, dry riverbeds, and sparse shrubs and weeds were mixed.
In front of them was the dry Turgai Riverbed. The riverbed was very wide, at least one mile, with white saline and alkali substances coming out. Crossing this river was Tamilza's territory!
The camel caravan stepped onto the riverbed. As soon as he entered the riverbed, Mirza's heart was pounding, and an ominous premonition surged into his heart. At this time, he was riding on a tall white horse with fifty guards around him. The remaining guards were riding on horseback and pulling camels filled with various crops from the Shiva Oasis.
One midsummer noon, it was still very hot in the desert between the Caspian Sea and the Aral Sea. The dazzling sun in the sky had no sympathy. The scorching light he emitted burned the earth without any scruples. A faint colorful light rose in the air of the riverbed. It was a kind of smoke that only existed in the desert area of Central Asia. The light emitted under the reflection of the sun's light seemed to be like the smoke that had evaporated from the ground at first glance.
With a moment of worry, Mirza led the camel caravan to the center of the riverbed. At this time, his worry became stronger and stronger, as if to prove his concern. A slight tremor came from the earth, and the camel, who was extremely sensitive to the sound, was immediately unwilling to walk around again.
“Rumbling…”
The shaking became stronger and stronger. The entire camel caravan stopped in the hustle and bustle of cavalry rushed out of the faint colorful smoke and dust upstream and downstream of the riverbed!
As a tribe that had long "accompanied" to the Daxia Kingdom, Mirza naturally also carried a civilian version of the Daxia Kingdom, a five-fold telescope.
When he opened the telescope and watched, his heart couldn't help but feel trembling.
The brigade of Hanhai cavalry rushed towards them from upstream and downstream, and saw that there were at least five hundred cavalry! There were two or three hundred cavalry on each side, which were typical Hanhai cavalry's summer outfits. In the telescope, they were holding short guns in one hand and cavalry knives in the other, and long spears in the other, and were rushing towards them quickly!
"When will the regular cavalry of the Hanhai Army arrive here?"
He couldn't help but wonder that after the tribes on the prairie joined the Daxia Kingdom, they would have to take three months to serve in designated places for military service in a year, that is, the "militia" mentioned by the Daxia people. They would also get a set of clothes. However, compared with the regular Hanhai Army, these clothes did not have collars, epaulettes, and armor. The other places were exactly the same. The cavalry in front of them were obviously regular soldiers!
"The place where the Turgai River flows into the Caspian Sea is Aktao, and only there are regular Hanhai Army there. Did they patrol here?"
However, as the former Sultan of Xiaoyuzi, he was still the chief of a powerful tribe. Even if he met Han Haijun, he was not afraid. Even if he met Anusa, he had no worries. Anusa was his cousin, the sultan and general of the Shiva Khanate. It was reasonable for him to visit his cousin who had no title of sultan to pay homage to his powerful cousin, not to mention that he also had a camel caravan full of supplies.
"Dadadada"
The cavalry on both sides had approached the camel caravan on a riverbed made of gravel, animal corpses, and dry shrubs!
At this time, in order not to cause trouble, Mirza asked the guards to put down all their weapons, and he also took Kathcar forward to talk to the Hanhai Army Officer.
"you……"
But to Mirza's surprise, the speed of the Hanhai cavalry in front did not slow down. They still rushed forward with weapons, and Mirza's personal guards had already dismounted!
“Puff…”
A unilateral massacre began, with five hundred cavalry against one hundred cavalry who had already dismounted. The massacre went on very quickly and ended in a flash. After killing all the people including Mirza, Han Hai Army did not take away the war horses and camels, but quickly retreated in the original direction.
At this time, on the banks on both sides of the river, some herders grazing here appeared sporadically.
...
Just when Mirza encountered an accident in the dry riverbed of the Turgai River, at Yulong Jiechi and at the call of Anusa, ten thousand standing troops from the southern part of the Aral Sea came here. At this time, Anusa had already collected 20,000 tribal cavalry on the Oasis Plain to replace the defense line of the 20,000 standing troops. He led 20,000 elite Shiva soldiers along the Amu River. When he arrived in Shiva, he brought another ten thousand standing troops.
Thirty thousand troops advanced along the Amu River, rushing forward like lightning. After many days, his brigade arrived in Chalju (Turkmenabad in Turkmenistan later). This was occupied by a Turkmen nomadic tribe. From here to the northeast, it was the former Bukhara Khanate. It is the Zelavshan Valley where the Kazakh Khanate is located, which is the Bukhara-Samarkand area.
This Turkmen tribe usually deals between Persia, Shiva and Bukhara, and uses the rich agricultural products and horses in the Amu River basin to pay tribute to the three parties. Because it is just a staggered area where the three major forces are intertwined, this tribe survives. Although it is poor, life is still acceptable due to the watering of the Amu River. When it was under the jurisdiction of the Bukhara Khanate, there was a fortress made of rammed earth here, but such fortresses were not worth worrying in the eyes of the three forces.
In the past, Anusa did not provoke the tribe when she led the cavalry to plunder, but only asked them to provide the cavalry's food and water. When he came here again with the army, the tribe thought he would do the same thing as before, so ordinary people ignored it, but the next scene left them stunned.
At Anusa's order, 30,000 elite cavalry surrounded Charju. Three days later, all the men here were slaughtered, and young women, farmers, and craftsmen were moved to Shiva Oasis by the tribal cavalry that followed him!
A new wasteland is about to be formed.
After destroying the tribe of Chalju, Anusa led the cavalry to continue to move south. However, this time he did not provoke Bukhara, but crossed the Karakum Desert and came directly to the Mare-Ashgabat oasis where a large number of Turkmens live!
A month later, the news reached Turkestan.
"His Majesty"
Wang Wenhui was reporting, her face covered with grimness.
"Prince Anusa of the Khanate of Shiva Khanate sent a newspaper. According to the confirmation of the gray-clothed guards arranged in Bukhara in our country, he did take 30,000 cavalry south according to the order of His Majesty, but he only arranged 5,000 people to attack Bukhara, and was still disturbing in the countryside. He did not make any move to surround Bukhara. His main force arrived in the area of Ashbahad-Mare. He did not go south along the Amu River and entered the area closest to this oasis, but directly crossed the desert from Charju to reach the area between Ashbahad and Mare."
"Before, he changed his previous practice of escorting the Chalzhu tribe and destroyed the ministry, but did not leave soldiers to guard it. It was obvious that he wanted to regard this place as a buffer zone for his own forces."
"Due to surprise, the Turkmen in the Mare-Ashbahed area caught him off guard. Their simple earth-walled castles could not withstand the impact of Anusa Spirit Cavalry. In addition, the Uzbeknein there, he occupied six Turkmen castles in half a month from Ashbahed to Mare."
"He did not follow the practice of Chalju after occupying this area, but killed all the Turkmen leaders in the three big castles of Ashbahad, Zhanhe and Mare, and took over these places with their opposition. He himself stationed in the middle to connect Zhanhe, with 10,000 troops, and two subordinates took over Ashbahad, Mare, and 10,000 troops respectively."
"After the stable situation, he suddenly killed all the heads of Turkmen among the three great oasis, leaving only ordinary people behind, and replaced his generals with his former heads. It seems that he is going to formally incorporate this place into the command of the Shiva Khanate."
Nikan didn't agree, "Have you found out about Mirza?"
Wang Wenhui shook her head, "There are saline-alkali land on both sides of the Turgai River, and there are no water plants at all, and there are only a few herdsmen. When the gray-clothed guards arrived there, they interrogated several families. They all said in unison that they were killed by the Hanhai Army. At present, the entire Xiaoyuzzedouer Alliance has become in full swing. I heard that Ajina, who controlled Kizilorda, could no longer suppress the three thousand tribal cavalry from the alliance."
