Shang Bing gave a few more commands, the sky was about to darken, and the general named Liu Zheng, who was guarding the city, said respectfully: "Your Highness, it's getting late, the minister has prepared a banquet for Your Highness, and I also ask Your Highness to appreciate your face." ”

"Now that preparations for war are imminent, we must not be extravagant and wasteful." Shang Bing said immediately.

"Your Highness, the banquet prepared by the minister is just beef and mutton, which is everywhere here, it is not extravagant, but some vegetables are added." Liu Zheng replied.

Of course, Shang Bing knew that vegetables and vegetables here were more precious than beef and mutton, and it was already a luxury to use them. But he was tired of eating meat every day, so he didn't break it, so he had to go to eat with him.

But at this moment, a dense torch was suddenly lit in the north of the city, and the firelight illuminated half of the sky very brightly; And because it was not yet completely dark, there was a thick smoke again.

Shang Bing was stunned for a moment, and then stood in place with cold hands and feet. This is the signal when a great enemy is coming, and at this time, the great enemy of the Qin domain is only one Samarkand, so there is only one possibility to ignite such a signal at this time, Timur led his troops to fight!

"Escort His Highness out of the city!" One of Shang Bing's guards was stunned for a moment and then immediately shouted loudly. At this time, only the torches were lit in the north of the city, indicating that the enemy army had not yet surrounded the entire city, and at this time, it was almost dark and the enemy army would not move around the city at will, so there was still hope of escaping from the east of the city.

When he had finished shouting, he commanded the other guards: "Go quickly to the post station, call all those who are sleeping, and prepare your horses." ”

He said to Shang Bing again: "Your Highness, please get out of the city quickly!" ”

Shang Bing reacted and said to Liu Zheng: "Lonely, you stick to this city, and send troops to rescue you as soon as you return to Hami." At this time, the troops of Samarkand can come to Turpan, and there is only one possibility, that is, the enemy cavalry did not wait for the infantry behind, and took advantage of the unpreparedness of the Urumqi defenders to break through the city and drive directly to Turpan. If you only face the cavalry, although the city has not been completely repaired, it can still resist; The number of enemy troops will not be large, and it is possible to send reinforcements to repel them.

This Liu Zheng was also pale at this time, and cold sweat couldn't stop dripping. He wanted to run away, but he didn't dare. His whole family was in Yiwu City, and if he disobeyed the orders of the King of Qin, it would be a sin to be beheaded all over the house. He could only bow down and salute: "The minister will definitely defend Turpan!" So he went up to the city wall and set up defenses.

Shang Bing took the guards to the East City Gate, and waited for the guards to arrive before returning to Hami. A guard brought a pancake from nowhere and said to Shang Bing: "Your Highness, you haven't eaten since you left the post station in the morning, and then you have to travel overnight. ”

Shang Bing took the pancakes and ate them in a big gulp, and now he still cares if they are delicious or not. While eating, he thought very pessimistically: "Although most of the enemy army must not have come by this time, the city of Urumqi must have been lost, and Turpan has become the border." Although the geographical location of Turpan City is important, after all, it is not as good as Urumqi sandwiched between two mountains, and the enemy army can leave a small number of troops to guard it, and the army marches eastward to Hami. ’

At this time, there were only 30,000 soldiers in Hami City, and I don't know how many troops Samarkand had sent, but the main force of elite soldiers and auxiliaries together would not be less than 300,000, and there would not be many troops who could come to the rescue before the enemy besieged the city, and Hami City was afraid that it would not be able to hold it. ’

Thinking of this, Shang Bing almost cried. If Hami City is broken, he may escape with his family, but the accumulation here in the past five years will be ruined.

But he immediately stopped the tears that were about to fall. He is the backbone of the entire Qin Domain, and he is just in his own palace, and it is estimated that the whole city will collapse if he cries here. Luckily, it was dark now, and the others couldn't see his expression clearly.

After waiting for a while, Shang Bing finished eating the pancakes in his hand, and all the guards rushed over, although he was very worried in his heart, but his face did not show it at all, and he was about to get on the horse and return to Hami with an order.

But at this moment, Liu Zheng, who was stationed in Turpan City, suddenly rode a horse and galloped, and kept shouting loudly: "Your Highness stays!" Your Highness stays! ”

"What?" Shang Bing stopped the horse's head, turned around and asked.

"Your Highness," Liu Zheng stopped his horse about five feet in front of Shang Bing, gasped loudly, and said, "The person who came from the alarm of Shicai is not a soldier of Samarkand, but a soldier of Yili Commander. ”

"The people in Yili?" Shang Bing breathed a sigh of relief and was a little surprised at the same time: "Why did their men and horses appear here at this time?" It would take at least tens of thousands of horses to make a sentry light a firework as big as that just now. ’

"Your Highness, Yili has also come to Lida Khan Sha Mi Chagan, and has entered the city at this time, and I heard that His Highness will ask to meet His Highness immediately after that." Liu Zheng continued.

"Take Lone to meet him quickly!" Shang Bing immediately decided to see Sha Micha to do it. He was eager to know what Shamicha had come for; Moreover, by the way, I have to coordinate with him the cooperation of the two armies, so that Urumqi City can hold out for a few more days.

After a short time, Shang Bing came to a small room under the north city wall where the patrolling soldiers were resting, and as soon as he entered the door, he saw Sha Mi Chagan and two attendants stomping anxiously in the house, and when he heard the door ring, he turned his head, and when he saw that it was Shang Bing, he immediately pounced on him and said: "Thank God, Brother Shang Bing, you are in Turpan." ”

Shang Bing greeted him, and before he could speak, he heard Sha Micha Gan say again: "Brother Shang Bing, you also know about Timur's early mobilization of troops, and this should be to arrange the garrison of Turpan City." In that case, I am relieved. ”

"I'm here to arrange the garrison of Turpan City, and secondly, to find Brother Sha Micha for something." Shang Bing sat down and said to him: "On the first day of April, the troops of Samarkand broke through the Alashan Pass, and from here to the east of Urumqi there is no place to defend, and the enemy army can drive straight to the city of Urumqi. But the city has not yet been built. ”

"In order to delay the two of us for some more time, brother, you have to lead all the soldiers of your headquarters to fight the troops of Samarkand in the Gurbantunggut Basin, brother, I don't ask you to destroy many enemy troops, just delay time."

When Shang Bing first came to the northwest, he thought that Yili Jiangli was not weak, but after careful investigation, he found that its real strength was not as good as that of Wara, and it was just bluffing people with the empty shelves of the descendants of the Huangjin family. So he wouldn't expect Shamichagan to be able to wipe out as many Samarkand nationals as he could with his troops.

Shang Bing thought that his requirements were low enough, but he didn't want Sha Micha Gan to show embarrassment. He hesitated for a moment and said, "Brother Shang Bing, I'm afraid it will be difficult for me to delay Timur for many days." ”

"Why?" Can't do it?

"Brother Shang Bing," Sha Michagan said with difficulty, "I have ordered that all the troops in the Gurbantunggut Basin should go south through Urumqi, one will come to Turpan, and most of them will pass through Jueluotag to Korla and Bosten Lake south of Tiemen Pass and camp near Bosten Lake. When he saw Shang Bing's face immediately darkened, he hurriedly said: "But I also left 20,000 horses behind the palace to delay Timur's entry into the army." ”

"This, this, this," Shang Bing 'this' for a long time, and didn't know what to say. If Shami Chagan was his subordinate, he would definitely immediately order Shami Chagan to be dragged out and beheaded immediately, and the head was hung at the head of the city and no one was allowed to take it off, and at the same time, Shami Chagan was beheaded all over the door.

The land in the river where Samarkand is located, although it has not recovered after the ravages of the Mongols, there were about 30 million people in Central Asia before Temujin raised his army, and there were only more than 10 million at this time, but there will be no shortage of horses, and there will never be a shortage of cavalry, so what is the use of the 20,000 people left? Not to mention the inevitable gap in combat effectiveness, it is estimated that 10,000 cavalry of the Samarkand State will be enough to drive out the 20,000 horses left behind by Shamichagan, and it will not be delayed for a few days.

Shang Bing wanted to ask him, 'Don't you know that if I lose, you won't get any benefit!' At this time, you still want to preserve your strength and sit on the benefits of a fisherman? I'm afraid that even those people under your command can't even compare to mussels! But at last there was a glimmer of clarity, and there was no exit.

In fact, he wronged Sha Micha Gan a little, and Sha Micha Gan also had something to do. When Baihu, who fled back from Alashankou, passed through Urumqi, it happened that his younger brother Ma Hama was in the city. Sha Michagan knew that Turpan could not be held after this battle and would inevitably be controlled by the Qin Domain, but Urumqi could not be completely occupied by Shang Bing, so he left people to garrison the city.

Ma Hama didn't know what the Baihu was doing when he came back from Alashankou, and he didn't care, but when he was drinking with Zhou Yang, the general who guarded the city, he couldn't help but be suspicious when he saw Zhou Yang's panicked expression, and sent someone to inquire in the backyard to find out what was going on.

Knowing that the stakes were high, Mahama returned to Beshbali early the next morning and told Shami Chagan about it.

When Shami Chagan learned of this, he called the leaders of the tribes to come, and on the one hand, he ordered the old and young to withdraw with most of the cattle and horses, and on the other hand, he wanted to leave 100,000 young and strong soldiers to deal with the soldiers of Samarkand and delay the time.
