[Chapter 773] The distance between him and her is just a little bit closer
Mashatini said coldly: "If we destroy the white-clothed army here, Turpan will not need to be defended. Your fiefdom will surely be safe and sound. On the contrary, if we hadn't wiped out the white-clothed army, do you think we could hold Turpan and hold your fiefdom? Do you think the White Army will stop here and not march to Turpan? ”
After a slight pause, Mashatini's eyes wandered, fell on Abdul Rain's face, and said word by word: "With the wisdom of the Governor of Turpan, it should not be difficult to understand this truth, right?" If you still don't understand, I can explain it in more detail. ”
Abdul Rain said with some embarrassment: "No need. I still understand the truth of cold lips and teeth. Thank you, High Priest, for your guidance. ”
Everyone had to admit that, logically speaking, Marthatini's words were indeed correct. If they fail here and the white-clothed army marches all the way west, the small city of Turpan will not be able to stop it at all. The artillery fire of the white-clothed army is so ferocious, what qualifications does Turpan City have to block the artillery fire of the white-clothed army? Abdul Rayin, the governor, will definitely not be able to do it.
However, to block the white-clothed army here, the price is really too great. More than 20,000 fanatics frantically rushed towards the white-clothed army, but in the end, they still returned with a crushing defeat. Moreover, the white-clad army occupies the oasis, there is a spring to replenish on the spot, but they have nothing. The final result of a protracted war is inevitably the defeat of the fanatics.
Ma Heima looked left and right and said, "We don't have to fight to the death with the white-clothed army here. Perhaps, we should make the most of our advantages and engage in sporadic battles with the whites. The Western Regions are our territory, and we know everything here. Most of the people in the Western Regions also stand with us. The white-clothed army, on the other hand, is a newcomer and is completely unfamiliar with this place. Besides, the number of white-clothed troops is small, and we have been attacking them all night long, believing that they will withdraw after a while......"
Rosalind couldn't help frowning and said, "May I ask General Ma Heima, how far is the distance from the Flame Mountain to Huozhou City?" Are you sure to stop the attack of the White Army? Do you really think that sporadic battles can slow down the advance of the white army? ”
Ma Heima was speechless. In fact, he just casually said that he was relieving Abdullain's difficulties. Now that the goal has been achieved, there is no need for him to continue talking nonsense. Everyone knows that from the Flame Mountain to Huozhou City, there is only a short distance of more than two hundred miles, and the cavalry is there in an instant. At such a short distance, it was absolutely impossible for the Turpan cavalry to intercept the white-clothed army. Any enemy who stands in the way of the advance of the white-clothed army will be ruthlessly crushed.
Moreover, judging from the previous repeated battles, the muskets of the white-clothed army are powerful and have a long range, and they do not need to be reloaded repeatedly. These characteristics were very fatal to the Turpan cavalry. Basically, Ma Heima can be sure that no matter what way the Turpan cavalry uses to contact the white-clothed army, the final result will be a fiasco.
As the Great Khan of the Yarkand Khanate, Abdullatif is best at playing round. If there is any dispute among his subordinates, he will be present to solve it. He was originally chubby and figureful, as if he was the Maitreya Buddha in Buddhism, giving people a feeling that it was easy to get close to. In fact, he also tried his best to act harmless to humans and animals.
Of course, he doesn't believe in Buddhism, and has nothing to do with Maitreya Buddha. However, this absolutely does not prevent him from relying on the harmless appearance of humans and animals, and often comes to say good things to people. Moreover, his status as the king of Khan is there again. Generally speaking, as long as he speaks, there is nothing that cannot be solved. Seeing that Abdul Rayin was being questioned by Masadini, he said with a smile: "Don't hurt the harmony, don't hurt the harmony, think long-term, think long-term." ”
The so-called long-term thinking is really taking a long-term view. As for how long it will be, it is estimated that only God knows. Basically, if you really follow these four words, there is no follow-up to the ** out of ten. If you don't get it right, you will simply sink into the sea. Naturally, Marthatini knew this, and rejected Abdullatif's words in one bite, and her tone became very unkind, and she said coldly: "Are you so afraid of death? ”
Everyone couldn't help but curse secretly in their hearts. You Marthatini, do you really think there's something great about you? Even such merciless words were spoken. Who in the world is not afraid of death? Don't be afraid of death, that's all to say to the soldiers below, which high-level is not afraid of death? Everyone present has a beautiful wife and concubine, who can give up the life of a mellow and beautiful woman? Sending others to death can naturally go, big ones can go, but you will never go. He Marthatini said lightly, why didn't she die?
Annoyed by Masadini's rudeness, Abdul simply put aside his awe of the Ottoman Empire and said, "What His Majesty the High Priest said is exactly what we are deeply ashamed of. Perhaps, the soldiers on the front line just need some encouragement from the high priest? They were born and died for the high priest, and if they were not guided by the high priest, they would not be able to enter the kingdom of heaven! High priest, I am a little learned, and my language is clumsy, and if you take any risks, please forgive me. ”
Rosalind's face suddenly changed slightly. Abdul Rayin's implication was that he actually asked Mathatini to personally go to the front to supervise the battle, how could this be done? The artillery fire of the White Army is so fierce, if Mathatini gets to the front line, what will be left? I'm afraid that not even a grain of scum will be left. These people in the Yarkand Kingdom are indeed too much.
However, Rosalind is not easy to say anything. Masatini's words were actually a serious offense to the higher-ups of the Yarkand Kingdom. It's no wonder that Abdul Rain and the others are angry, but it's really Masatini who is a little speechless. In this matter, if the culprit is to be really investigated, it must be traced to the head of Masadini.
Fortunately, Abdul Rain's words were also angry words, just to vent their emotions, and did not really ask Masadini to go to the front. However, unexpectedly, Matha Tini actually said without hesitation: "Okay! I'll go to the front! I'll show you how we fought! Although I am a woman, I am not lost to you! ”
Her surname is indeed a bit impulsive, and she doesn't consider the risks of doing things. Especially in the case of irritation. Perhaps, subconsciously, she felt that she must not fail. If it fails, the consequences are unimaginable. Therefore, even if you have to take a certain risk, it is necessary. Even if he was killed on the battlefield, it was better than falling into the hands of Xu Xingxia or Sawanna. Is this a psychological shadow?
"This ......"
Abdul Rayin's face was stunned, and he was a little helpless to stop talking.
God can testify that he just vented casually, and he had absolutely no intention of forcing Mathatini to the front line. Such a beautiful woman, of course he was reluctant to let her die under the fire of the white-clothed army. However, Masadini was mistaken. He wanted to explain, but he couldn't explain it. How can you explain this?
Persuade Mathatini to come back? Doesn't that mean that she, like them, is a gutsless person? With her overly sensitive, yet self-respecting surname, God knows what the reaction will be? If persuasion fails, it will deepen the contradictions between the two sides. Not persuaded? Let Martha Tini go straight to the front? With her delicate body, the white-clothed army can blow her up with just one shell.
Even Rosalind, at this moment, is not easy to dissuade. Because, once she speaks, Marthatini's emotions may be further stimulated. With a stimulated woman, you simply can't be reasonable. This is definitely a matter of experience. Therefore, everyone present could only watch Mashatini go to the front line without looking back. They looked at each other, wanting to say something, but they didn't know what to say.
However, the remaining fanatics around him, as well as some of the cavalry of the Yarkand Kingdom, saw that Mashatini personally went to the front to command the battle, but they had a little respect. In any case, when it comes to their status and status, and they have the courage to go to the front, they are all worthy of respect. Perhaps, soon, her shadow will disappear.
…… The appearance of Mathatini naturally attracted the attention of the white army. She didn't hide her intentions as she moved forward. The binoculars of Xu Xingxia and the others all noticed Martha Tini's movements. This priestess of the Kingdom of Khorasan, who was not afraid of death, actually ran to the front? Is she really looking for death?
Zhang Nai frowned and said, "My lord, that woman's ...... Looks like Matha Tinee? ”
Xu Xingxia nodded wordlessly. He didn't know why Marthatini was going into battle herself. Is it just to boost the morale of the fanatics? It doesn't seem necessary. The morale of the fanatics has always been strong, to the point where it can be called perverted. Purely from the perspective of morale, the morale of the white-clothed army may not be as high as that of the fanatics.
It is said that the enemy who has been brainwashed by religion is the most difficult to deal with. That's true. These fanatics are definitely the most extreme alternatives that the White Army has ever seen. They are not people at all, but a bunch of perverts. If the ordinary army had been replaced, it would have been violently bombarded by the mortars of the white-clothed army, and it would have broken up without a trace. Even the fierce cavalry of the Dajin Army could not hold out for a long time. However, these fanatics still insist on fighting.
It's as if, in the minds of these fanatics, there is no such thing as retreat at all. The commands they carry out are forward, forward, and forward. Therefore, they have only one thought, which is to keep moving forward. As long as he was not killed, he did not hesitate to move forward. Until he was killed and wounded and lost the ability to move forward.
In the face of such a group of completely perverted opponents, all the soldiers in white were secretly rejoicing. Thankfully, they carry powerful enough weaponry and ammunition to wipe out all of these perverts from a distance. Otherwise, once the two sides start a hand-to-hand fight, with the madness of those fanatics, I am afraid that all the white-clothed troops can be completely crushed. A perverted opponent is definitely not easy to deal with.
"Congratulations! You guessed it! She's Matha Tinee! ”
Suddenly, Sawanna's voice rang out. From her voice, I didn't hear any special feelings, and it seemed to be very calm. She didn't have any special expression on her face when she mentioned Marthatini's name. However, people with sensitive ears can still vaguely feel a special taste when they hear the four words of Mashatini. What does it taste like? It's the smell of the blade constantly grinding back and forth on the whetstone.
Xu Xingxia looked back, and sure enough, he saw Sawanna coming in the dust. Sawanna arranged all the logistics materials transported in the rear of the white-clothed army, and hurried to the front. Rosalind and Mathaltini both appeared on the battlefield, how could she, the original Queen of Khorasan, be absent? She had been waiting for this day for a long, long time.
Zhang Nai didn't mean to pity the fragrance and cherish the jade at all, he said stupidly: "This Mashatini, why don't you get closer?" If she gets closer, Lao Tzu will kill her with one shot! ”
Marthatini arrived at the front and stood in the middle of a crowd of fanatics. Her position is about 1,500 meters away from the white-clothed army. At such a distance, a mortar could not hit, let alone a Han-style rifle. I don't know if this action of Martha Tini was intentional or unintentional. Anyway, she was lucky enough to avoid a catastrophe.
However, Zhang Nai was really unwilling. He carefully estimated the distance between the two sides, and felt that if he advanced a few hundred meters, it should be possible to kill Masadini with a mortar. On Zhou Weihong's side, there are very clever gunners who can quickly lock on to Mashatini's position, and then smash several shells in a row, not afraid that Mashatini will not be finished.
The more Zhang Nai thought about it, the more he felt that his plan was feasible. The distance between the White Army and Mashatini was just a little bit closer. As long as this little distance is eliminated, the white-clothed army will have a chance to take the rank of general among the million-strong army. He rubbed his palms vigorously, and said eagerly beside Xu Xingxia: "My lord, why don't I lead a team to attack?" Shoot the man first and shoot the horse first, capture the thief and capture the king first, let's kill Mathatini first. ”
Xu Xingxia shook his head coldly and said affirmatively: "No, you can't take risks." ”
Of course, he also wanted Martha Tini to capture her, or kill her on the spot. Without Mathatini, the morale of those fanatics would surely fluctuate. However, Xu Xingxia knows better that Mathatini is actually not important. Killing all her fanatics is all that matters. Without those fanatics, Marthatini would be nothing.
