On the eighth day of the first month of September, the Western Qin army besieged Shulgaz City for seven days, until now the Western Qin army has not begun to attack the city, in fact, the siege equipment has long been built, but there is a lack of siege infantry, although there are 7,000 infantry in the second army, but these 7,000 people are too few and too few to capture Shulgaz City, but there are more than 30,000 defenders in the city.

In the big tent of the Chinese army, Zhao Ziliang asked Du Fu: "Is there any news from the Fifth Army?" ”

Du Fu said: "There is no news yet, the king's military order should only arrive in the Fifth Army for a few days, and it will also take time for Oghuz and Hua Thornzimo to gather troops and horses, and Weichen estimates that it will take at least ten days or so to get new news!" The 30,000 Great Food Army in Mulu City has not moved, and the Eighth Army of General Chu Ge and General Huo Kan is still in Jiling City."

Zhao Ziliang looked at Wang Can: "Didn't the Great Food Army on Kerman's side still send reinforcements?" Supposedly, their soldiers and horses must have arrived at Kerman, right? ”

Wang Can stood up and hugged his fists and said, "Yes, King! At present, 100,000 large food troops are gathered in Kerman, and the other 100,000 are scattered all over Khorasan Province, and Kerman has not sent reinforcements for the time being! ”

Zhao Ziliang thought for a while and ordered: "Come on, go and call Obot and Wahid!" ”

Obot and Wahid soon arrived, and the two saluted Zhao Ziliang and said, "Meet Your Majesty!" ”

Zhao Ziliang said: "Now we have been besieging the city for eight days, and all the siege equipment has been built, but we don't have enough infantry to attack the city, so this king hopes that the two of you can recruit local Persian warriors, start today, and you must recruit 10,000 people within five days!" ”

When Obot and Wahid heard this, their faces were bitter, and they were embarrassed: "Your Majesty, it is simply unrealistic to recruit 10,000 people in five days, and even if you increase the recruitment fee, you may not be able to recruit much!" ”

Zhao Ziliang waved his hand and said with an unkind face: "No matter what method you use, this king must recruit 10,000 people within five days!" Otherwise, all heads will fall to the ground! ”

The two had no choice but to agree: "Yes!" ”

After stepping out of the tent, Obot and Vahid began to discuss, and Obot said, "Do you think doubling the cost of recruitment will improve the effect?" ”

Vahid said: "The effect is definitely there, the higher the price, the more people will apply, but even then it is impossible to recruit 10,000 people in five days!" ”

"What then? If we can't recruit so many people, we'll be beheaded! ”

Wahid thought for a moment, gritted his teeth and said, "If there is no other way, we can only catch the strong man!" ”

Obot was stunned and sighed: "That's all it can be!" ”

Just when Obot and Wahid were grabbing Zhuangding, Mansur in Kerman finally reacted, and a reinforcement of about 30,000 people set off from Kerman in the direction of Shulgaz City, and when the reinforcements of 30,000 people set off from Kerman, the news was reported to Zhao Ziliang in the Western Qin army camp under Shulgaz City by Dongchang spies as quickly as possible.

"There were 30,000 reinforcements, 8,000 cavalry, 22,000 infantry, and about 10,000 trained. The leading general is Hardeman, one of the Great Food Generals who advocates the initiative to attack, but his advice is not taken by Mansour! It was precisely because he advocated taking the initiative to attack that this time Mansur sent him to lead troops to reinforce the city of Shulgaz! ”

Zhao Ziliang was shocked after listening to Wang Can's report, he got up and came to the map, which was drawn in detail and had been drawn by Dongchang a few years ago.

"Bam Oasis!" Zhao Ziliang knocked on the map, turned around and shouted: "Someone, immediately send a fast horse over to find the outpost who has explored the terrain of the Bam Oasis, this king has something to ask!" ”

"Yes!"

Zhao Ziliang calculated, the 30,000 army has 22,000 infantry, the speed of the march is not fast, the cavalry cannot leave the infantry to come alone, they must march together, so this reinforcement from Kerman will take at least eight days to arrive, and he has enough time to deploy.

Soon, a Huya Army detective sentry who was resting in the barracks was brought to the big tent of the Chinese army, "The villain greets the king!" ”

Zhao Ziliang beckoned to the detective: "Come, don't be nervous, this king has something to ask you!" ”

"Yes!" Scout rode a few steps forward.

Zhao Ziliang asked: "This king saw on the map that in addition to the large wheat fields in the Bam Oasis, there is also a castle called Bam Castle, you tell this king about the topography of this castle and the Bam Oasis!" ”

"Yes!" The scout said yes and stepped forward to explain to Zhao Ziliang.

On the large map, the mapper has drawn the terrain of the entire Great Food Country in great detail, but not specific to each oasis and city, so in order to understand the specific topography of a certain place, it is necessary to send someone to explore and draw a more detailed topographic map again.

The scout crouched on the ground to smooth out a patch of sand, and then used his fingers to draw the terrain of the Bam Oasis in great detail, especially the terrain around the oasis and where the castle was located.

"The Oasis of Bam was inhabited by more than 12,000 people, and the castle of Bam was garrisoned by 2,000 men, and the castle was built two feet high and surrounded by thirty-eight towers, and the buildings were made of mud bricks, clay, straw and palm trunks, and the people of the oasis could take refuge in the castle if necessary??????"

The Bam Oasis was an important oasis on the Silk Road, where merchants travelling between Western Qin and the Great Food Kingdom often stopped to replenish their water, food, and other supplies.
