Things in the world are like chess games. The Qin army was in a patrol in the territory of the Khanate of Xhosa, not because it was unable to attack the only big cities in the territory of the Khanate, but because it was other concerns.

Yes, for Sun Xiurong, it would be no problem to spend a certain amount of time to win the Khanate of Xhosa, but as long as it moves, the Great Food Empire in the south will definitely move. For the Great Qin Kingdom, it would be more difficult to deal with the Romans, Persians and political systems.

When Bai Xiaode led his army south, Ma Lin also occupied New Carthage with five regular battalions, and Naren Xiaofeng and five other regular battalions confronted the enemy south of the Derbint defense line.

Just as Yuwen Yongnu was discussing overnight, Naren Xiaofeng was sneaking in Tabriz with three regular battalions. Of course, they dressed up as Armenians, and there was a real cavalry led by Mamikonian III at the front as the vanguard.

At this time, the Sultanate of Ibrahim had lost the entire Elm Rum Province, Bukan and the area west of Sanandadi also fell into the opponent. The Tabriz region and Zanjan Gazvin Karati region were intact.

At this time, at the request of Ibrahim, the Armenians were completely likely to send reinforcements. You should know that the cannibals were still attacking Yerevan not long ago.

This army was the one that reassured Yuwen Yongnu and others. The three regular battalions and more than 10,000 people were led by Naren Xiaofeng himself, and the only two regular battalions remained in the south of the Derbint defense line. However, after he defeated the Chechin army that came down from the Caucasus and killed the Great Chief Duras, Governor Shadick, Governor of Derbint, kept huddling in the city without any movement.

What's more, there are five battalions of Ma Lin in New Carthage. If you travel from sea, it is very convenient to support Derbint.

The direction of Naren Xiaofeng's army is also very clear.

Buchan City!

But that was only on the surface. In Naren Xiaofeng's mind, Sanandaji City on the east side of Bucan City was his real goal!

That's because the camp of the Governor of Mosul, the Great Food Empire, is located in Sanandaji!

As Yuwen Yongnu expected, when Sun Xiurong led three camps to the south of Layi City (Tehran), Mansour immediately set out from Kashan to approach north, while the Governor of Mosul to the west led 20,000 elite troops to attack from Sanandaji to the east.

At this time, if Naren Xiaofeng breaks into Sanandaji, he will completely seize the way out!

For the cannibals, they naturally thought that there were troops coming from Dobastan to support Ibrahim, but they did not expect that they still had the energy to come from the Derbint defense line!

So, when Mamikonian III's army had already started a fierce battle with the Great Food Army in Bucan City, Suleiman, the governor of Mosul, who had arrived near Gazwin, did not care at all - he left 20,000 elite troops in Bucan and Sanandaji, enough to deal with the Armenian invasion.

Suleiman was the cousin of former governor of Tabriz Hazmo. Mansour had promised that once Tabriz was conquered, he would let him succeed the governor of Tabriz.

The governor of Tabriz is one of the four first-level governors under the Dashi Empire (the other three: Khorasan, Egypt, and Damascus). In addition to governing the province of Tabriz, it also also manages the provinces of El Group and Zanjan. It used to governor of Armenia, Azerbaijan, and Georgia. Its status is incomparable to the governor of Mosul.

In addition, Mansour also promised to seal the great city of Fan City near Lake Fan to him. How could Suleiman not do his best?

But Suleiman's ability is obviously not as good as his cousin Hazmo. When he learned that the only Armenians came to rescue Bucan, he couldn't help but sneer.

This is because, in the Hazmo era, the entire Azerbaijan and half of Armenia were fighting against the Mamikonian family. They did have elite cavalry, but their tactics were too old-fashioned, and they were all light cavalry, which could not resist the power-aberating attack of the Dashi Army, which had precise infantry and cavalry cooperation.

Otherwise, the cannibal would not have defeated the Mamikonian family in a short time and won the entire Armenia and Azerbaijan. Later, it was just because the Christians in the country were too fierce that the Caliph barely allowed the more gentle Bagratuni family to come to power to succeed the Grand Duke.

"Let the Armenians be arrogant for the time being. When the matter in Lai City is over, I will rush my troops westward, completely destroy the Azerbaijan country, and kill the Mamikonian family!"

At this time, Suleiman, who had already driven the army to the outskirts of Ghazwin, was sitting in his tent to rest. After receiving the news, he waved his hand to let the horse who came from Buchan City go down, and then said viciously.

When he thought that Sun Xiurong, the king of the Great Qin Kingdom, who is the most famous in the world, was suddenly excited.

"After really annihilated the three camps, I might as well cross Mount Elbools in one go and recover Dobastan!"

......

Buchan City.

After Mamikonian III approached, he did not face the big cannibals head-on, but instead divided the three thousand cavalry into thirty squads, each with one hundred cavalry, scattered all over the countryside to rob. When he encountered a large group of big cannibals, he left at full speed and did not fight head-on with the big cannibals at all. Instead, the big cannibals near Buchan City was so angry that they were so angry that they were too angry.

Just when Mamikonian III attracted the attention of the cannibals, Naren Xiaofeng personally led 4,500 cavalrymen to quickly arrive at the city of Sanandaji, and then launched a fierce attack on the Daqi army that was attacking the city!

Naren Xiaofeng launched an attack from the south of Sanandaji City. He defeated the enemy in the siege in one battle, leaving the rest of his troops to escape to Buchan, because Suleiman's besiege of Buchan, and the generals of Sanandaji City were still there.

Halfway through, they were ambushed by the six thousand Qin infantrymen dragged behind. After the battle, only a few people escaped and fled back to Bucan City by chance!

After this battle, Suleiman's mobile force was the only one in Buchan. At this time, Ibrahim's men and the Armenians could unite to deal with this army. Naren Xiaofeng then took a short rest in Sanandaji and continued to march eastward.

Departing from Sanandaji, there is a road northward to Zanzhan on the southern foot of the Elbulls Mountain. Naren Xiaofeng followed the rules and led the cavalry to Zanzhan City in just three days. At this time, he was desperately rushing eastward, preparing to report to Suleiman about the war in Sanandaji and was still on the way!

Not only that, when Sun Xiurong told Ibrahim that he had another army that would appear behind Suleiman, Sultan Ibrahim, who was lingering in Karati City, finally cheered up and brought 10,000 elite troops out of the city to intercept Suleiman's army that was about to pass through the city!

At this time, Suleiman didn't know the news of the Sanandaji war. He was originally planning to go directly to Layi City, but he did not take Ibrahim's army seriously. When he passed the city of Zanzhan and Ghazwen in front, Ibrahim's army was huddled in the city to defend. At this time, he was surprised that suddenly came out of Karati City to block his path.

However, along the way, he hoped that Ibrahim would come out and fight him to the death, but unfortunately he never got this opportunity.

Suleiman had 20,000 people under his command, including 15,000 main forces and 5,000 auxiliary soldiers. Seeing that Ibrahim dared to take troops that were not as large as his command, he took the lead in attacking without thinking.

This time, what surprised him was that he seemed to have reached a desperate situation (Karathi is the easternmost city of Ibrahim, the sultan, and he has no choice but to retreat), and it seemed that in order to show his long-lost courage in front of his subordinates, Ibrahim personally brought the army to meet him!

Ibrahim's army was born from the Great Food Army. Its personnel composition, tactics and training were almost exactly the same as Suleiman's army. The only difference was that his army lacked excellent generals and lacked training. Unlike the army that Mansour gathered in Baghdad, they were all well-trained and fought with the Romans and Ethiopians in the border areas.

The same army and different qualities are said to be Suleiman's army can win quickly, but this time, because Ibrahim, a descendant of Ali, personally fought, his army burst out with the high fighting spirit that was rare since Suleiman entered the Sultanate.

Just under the city of Karati, the two armies actually fought to the point of being equal!

The battle lasted for half a day, and when it was dark, both troops retreated and returned to the camp.

So, Suleiman's army was really blocked near Karadi, and Karadi was less than a hundred miles away from Lai City. Seeing that the great achievements of "defeating the army of the King of Qin" were unavailable, Suleiman was very annoyed, but his army had been on the way for several days and had fought fiercely with Ibrahim for half a day. It would not be impossible to detour to Lai City directly, but the closer they were to Lai City, the more careful the Qin army was.

After thinking about it, Suleiman decided to rest for one night. When the next morning, he was about to let the auxiliary soldiers stay and block Ibrahim (the battle that day was ultimately due to Ibrahim's losses, and leaving the auxiliary soldiers can compete with Ibrahim), and he led his main force to arrive at the main battlefield as soon as possible.

At this time, Naren Xiaofeng's cavalry had left Zanzhan City and approached near Gazwin. When he learned that Suleiman's army was near Karati, Naren Xiaofeng was also hesitant.

"Our army has been running fast for four days, and it is the time when both men and horses are exhausted. Even if we arrive at Karadi overnight, we will have almost no combat effectiveness. Not to mention supporting the king, it is still a question whether we can save this army."

"But since Sanandaji set out, he has not received the orders of the king. This is unusual. It seems that Mansour and Gazelvar's army have surrounded the king's camp. Wouldn't it be worse if Suleiman catches up?"

"No, Suleiman can't be allowed to succeed!"

So, despite his subordinates' dissuasion, he insisted on letting the army continue to march. When he arrived about twenty miles west of Karadi overnight, it was about to dawn!

However, for Suleiman, after a day of fierce battle, his troops were also very tired and could not get up early to march, which provided Naren Xiaofeng's cavalry with about two hours of rest.

After yesterday's battle, Ibrahim lost almost 40% of his 10,000 elite troops in Karati. At this time, he was killed and dared not go out of the city to invite a battle again.

However, at this moment, he received Sun Xiurong's order.

"Stop Suleiman for another hour, my man is not far from you!"

Ibrahim didn't want to listen to Sun Xiurong, but then he thought, "If Suleiman is allowed to pass and Sun Xiurong's army is defeated, I will fall into Mansour's hands, then..."

When he thought of Mansour's ruthless methods, he couldn't help but shivered at the gentle spring and summer turn.

Even so, this time, he did not go out in person, but asked his subordinates to lead three thousand infantry and cavalry out of the city to fight.

This made Suleiman furious. This time, he was about to give Ibrahim a look. His troops were all driven out and surrounded Ibrahim's three thousand men!
