"What?"

Mahmud was stunned. 【Reading.com】

The news of the defeat came too suddenly.

The milk cup in his hand fell quietly and shattered on the ground.

Biden is dead, the cavalry unit is finished, and he is going to continue fighting?

"Impossible, right?"

"Biden actually died in battle?"

An'neid's surprise was still above Mahmud.

After all, he was young and had never experienced such a fiasco.

In his consciousness, the Ottoman [***] team has never failed.

However, in front of the white-clothed army, they were defeated. It's just incredible. If it weren't for repeated confirmations, they couldn't believe it.

The consequences of defeat were very serious. Without the assistance of cavalry, the rest of the Ottoman armies were at risk of being raided by the cavalry of the White Army. No matter how big Mahmud was, he had to frown in the face of tens of thousands of white-clothed cavalry.

Originally, Mahmud's plan was to eliminate the cavalry of the White Army as much as possible and cut off the threat of the White Army's cavalry. But unexpectedly, the final result was that his own cavalry was annihilated and consumed. The contrast is too great. Rao is a Mahmud with unusually rich battlefield experience, and he has no contingency plan for the time being.

"General, what are we going to do?" Annel asked uneasily.

"What do you say?" For the first time, Mahmud looked impatient in front of the young man. The tone of his voice was distinctly annoyed. The blow he received was indeed too great, and there was no way to control his emotions for a while.

"I think it's time for us to retreat." Fortunately, Annaid's ability to read words and colors is good. Realizing that the situation in the future could be very dangerous, Annaid immediately strongly advised the whole army to retreat.

Without the assistance of cavalry, the Ottoman [***] army was easily ambushed by the cavalry of the White Army. There is no doubt about that. In other words, the initiative on the battlefield is basically in the hands of the white-clothed army, and they only have the share of being beaten passively.

The Western Regions is indeed too far away from the Ottoman Empire. Once they were surrounded by the White Army, the other Ottomans [***] had no time to rescue them. Even if the reinforcements set out from the Safi Dynasty as soon as possible after receiving the message asking for help, it would take at least two months to reach the battlefield.

In two months, the daylilies were completely cool.

When the news of Biden's death came out, it is estimated that the situation in the three countries in the Western Regions will not be very stable. The Three Kingdoms of the Western Regions were originally wavering. Intelligence from all sides shows that the white-clothed army has also strengthened its infiltration into the Western Regions, which is estimated to bring great pressure to the three countries of the Western Regions. If the situation is not good, perhaps, the Three Kingdoms of the Western Regions will throw themselves into the white-clothed army.

Once the Three Kingdoms of the Western Regions defected to the White Army, the retreat of the Ottoman Empire [***] was completely cut off. This is absolutely fatal news for Ann Naid. When the time comes, the white-clothed army will chase and kill behind, and the three Western Regions will also create obstacles in their retreat path. They didn't want to be wiped out in this hellish place in the Western Regions.

Suddenly, there was the sound of footsteps hurrying.

Ann Naider looked up and saw that it was an intelligence scout arriving in a hurry.

"What's the matter? If it's not important, I'll report back later. Knowing that Mahmud was in a bad mood and probably didn't want to hear any unpleasant news, Annaid whispered to the intelligence scout.

"It's about Sawanna's ......," the intelligence scout whispered.

Mahmud nodded slowly, and said in a deep voice: "I'm fine, just say it!" ”

The intelligence scout said nervously, "We received news that Fitro was killed. There is ample evidence that Sawanna was behind it. ”

Mahmud suddenly frowned, and said suspiciously: "Sawanna has returned to the Kingdom of Khorasan?" How was Fitro killed? Why was he so careless? ”

The intelligence scout said cautiously: "Whether Sawana has returned to the Kingdom of Khorasan is not clear for the time being. However, it is certain that Fitro's killing must have something to do with Savanna. Because, at the scene of Fitro's killing, an order signed by Sawanna was left behind. Sawanna ordered Fitro to be executed for treason. ”

"On his way home, Fitro was attacked by a small group of enemies and was killed. He originally had 500 elite guards with him, always on guard against enemy attacks. It's a pity that his defense failed in the end. Witnesses at the scene said that a bullet hit him in the center of the eyebrow and he died instantly. ”

...... "Ridiculous! That's ridiculous! ”

"When did Fitero commit treason?"

"This is obviously an assassination! Vile! Shameless! Dirty! ”

Ann Naider couldn't help but slap the case angrily. Fitro was the closest vassal of the Khorasan Kingdom to the Ottoman Empire. In many cases, the Ottoman side was contacted through Fitro and Mashatini. Fitro's conversion to the Green Cult was also the most devout. On the Ottoman side, there was even a tendency to ask him to replace Mashatini.

Unexpectedly, Fitro was executed so soon. This Sawana, she started really fast, and her movements were ruthless enough. Fitro's death, even the desperate Mahmud, did not expect it at all. His bad news also came very suddenly. Biden's death and Fitro's death are estimated to have huge repercussions at the top of the three Western Regions.

In particular, Fitro's death was obviously a dangerous warning to the high-ranking figures of the Three Kingdoms of the Western Regions. Those who once opposed Sawana will probably not be able to sleep well at night from now on. Everyone knows that Fitro's death is only the beginning, definitely not the end. It is very likely that they are dreaming of the tragic scene of their head falling to the ground.

At the beginning, it was Fitro who secretly united with the priestess Mathatini and another powerful minister, Charlotte, to work together to oust Sawana from the queen's throne. At that time, Sawanna swore that she would definitely want Fitro to look good. Now, Sawana has returned, and sure enough, the first one is to ask for Fitro's bad luck. And Fitro, who was killed without suspense.

"Sawanna's subordinates don't have such great skills. The one who did it must be Xu Xingxia's troops. It seems that the white-clothed army has infiltrated the three kingdoms of the Western Regions. ”

Mahmud must be a veteran of the battlefield, his mind is racing and his insight is insightful. After a little contemplation, he deduced the cause and effect of the incident.

In fact, his guess was indeed correct. It was a small detachment of the Chasseurs who assassinated Fetro. While pursuing Mashatini, Sawana deliberately let the tiger return to the mountain, and with this small team, she entered the territory of the Kingdom of Khorasan. Their first move was to take out the core figure of Fitro.

Annaid said uneasily, "So, what are we going to do?" ”

Mahmud glanced at him and said in a deep voice, "What about your suggestion?" ”

Annaider insisted: "I still think we should retreat decisively. If the white-clothed army gains a foothold in the Three Kingdoms of the Western Regions, it will be even more difficult for us to retreat. General, we can't pin our hopes on the Three Kingdoms of the Western Regions. ”

Mahmud nodded, pondered for a moment, and said decisively: "In that case, you should take all the Sultan's personal troops and retreat quickly!" ”

Annaider was slightly startled, and said in a lost voice: "Then the general, you ......"

Mahmud said calmly: "I am different from you. I am the commander in charge of the battle, and I should fight until the last moment, whether I win or lose. ”

Annaid's nose was sour, and he couldn't help but have a deep respect for the old general. Perhaps, in the past, he never had respect for this old general from the bottom of his heart. However, now, he does have a heartfelt respect for this old general.

He couldn't control his emotions, choked up and said, "Old general, you ......"

Mahmud looked at him expressionlessly, with a strange look in his sunken eyes. He said slowly: "Ann Naid, actually, you are not suitable to be a soldier. When you go back to Istanbul, you should apply for retirement. If you continue to stay in the army, one day, something bad will happen. Okay, you guys hurry up, it's too late. The white-clad army moves quickly, and you must not take it lightly at any time. ”

Ann Nend nodded solemnly, wiped away her tears vigorously, and turned away.

Soon, the camp of the Ottoman [***] team began to come alive. A large number of the Sultan's own soldiers have moved up and prepared to retreat. They have learned the news of Biden's death in the war and understand that their situation is very dangerous, so they naturally dare not slack off.

"Hurry up!"

"Hurry up!"

Ann Naider kept urging back and forth.

The entire camp of the Sultan's own soldiers suddenly boiled.

"Da Da Da!"

"Da Da Da!"

Suddenly, there was the sound of horses' hooves.

The sound of horses' hooves was very dense, as if thousands of horses were coming.

Ann Naid's face suddenly turned extremely pale. He hurriedly ascended the high platform, raised the clairvoyant mirror, and looked to the northeast. As a result, after just one glance, Annaid's body felt weak and almost paralyzed on the ground.

It was the white-clothed cavalry who came to kill!

Damn the cavalry of the White Army, they actually killed at this time!

Judging by the banner of the cavalry of the White Army, it should be the Lion Cavalry. These damn guys actually gave up their defense and took the initiative to attack the Sultan's own soldiers!

In an instant, a thick anger rose from Ann Naid's heart. These damn white-clothed soldiers are simply too bullying! Do they really think that the Sultan's own soldiers are so easy to bully?

"The whole army is fighting!"

Mahmud's calm voice came.

Immediately, the old general's straight figure appeared on the high platform.

The white-clothed army came too quickly, and it was impossible for him to retreat the Sultan's own soldiers.

Since it is impossible to retreat, there is only a fight to the death. Let the Sultan's own soldiers, for their honor, fight to the death with the white-clothed army!
