(0814) The Hayabusa cavalry, which arrived in advance, became a nightmare for the Sultan's own soldiers. 【Reading.com】

The skirmishers of the White Clothes Army were originally the most suitable for small detachment activities, or they were dispatched alone. In the mountains of the Kingdom of Khorasan, their figures are like ghosts, and their presence is not felt in the slightest in their eyes. However, in consciousness, you can feel their presence all the time. Honestly, it's a very contradictory feeling.

At the beginning, the most painful thing for the Ottoman [***] team was that no one knew when the White Coats would appear. Later, the most painful thing slowly became that no one knew which target their attack would be. In the end, this most painful thing has become that no one knows whether they will be able to live until tomorrow.

The Sultan's personal soldiers, who were originally considered elite troops, have long lost their elite appearance under the continuous blows of the white-clothed army. Now their only thought is to save their lives. As for everything else, it can be discarded. The surname of a comrade can be given up, the surname of a commander can be given up, and the surname of a subordinate can be given up even more.

Ann Naider is a prime example. The number two person of the Ottoman Emperor [***] team, all his actions are for his own safety. As long as he can keep himself safe, he can do anything. Many Ottoman [***] teams were sent by him to be cannon fodder and bear the bullets of the white-clothed army. When the attention of the white army was attracted by others, his life was naturally saved.

Only the veteran general Mahmud can still maintain a certain demeanor and is willing to work with his subordinates. No matter how dangerous the situation was, Mahmud did not abandon his men, even the sick and wounded with him. The vast majority of the Ottoman [***] team pinned their hopes on Mahmud.

However, Mahmoud is not omnipotent. He could not gather all the Sultan's own soldiers and act together. If that is the case, the target is too big and can easily attract attacks from the white-clothed army and the local tribesmen of Khorasan. Once they fall into the encirclement of the white-clothed army, the end of the entire army is to be wiped out.

Gradually, even Mahmud became less and less able to control the troops. There was no way, the casualties of the troops were getting bigger and bigger, the morale was getting lower and lower, and the atmosphere of frustration and despair completely enveloped the remnants of the entire Ottoman Empire. The huge kingdom of Khorasan is, in their eyes, hell at all. They are just struggling in hell.

The Ottoman [***] team, which was walking through the mountains, had to be vigilant at all times to prevent the surrounding mountains from suddenly shooting deadly bullets. This threat is very deadly. Perhaps, a moment ago, you were still fantasizing about returning to your hometown and reuniting with your wife and children. The next moment, you're beaten straight down the road.

The kingdom of Khorasan is mostly mountainous. Most of the roads are actually sheep's intestine paths, which spread completely through the valley. On such terrain, the Han-style rifle with ultra-long range and high accuracy naturally became a nightmare for the Sultan's own soldiers. With the help of a scope, it is not at all difficult to shoot an enemy with one shot at a distance of three hundred meters.

The fighters of the Falcon Cavalry are basically sharpshooters, and the shooting accuracy at a distance of two or three hundred meters is still quite impressive. Even if you are not a sharpshooter, your marksmanship is not too bad. They only need a small squad of troops to block the entire road. No matter how many of the Sultan's own soldiers are, the final result will be completely consumed by the Falcon Cavalry.

This kind of panic that cannot be eliminated is the most desperate. Because, no one can guarantee whether they will live to see the sun tomorrow. Under the domination of such emotions, hysteria and madness are very normal. From the perspective of the white-clothed army, what they need to face is a group of crazy people who have no intention of fighting. For snipers, this is simply a massacre. A one-sided, non-difficult massacre.

If the warriors of the Hayabusa Cavalry are not considered elite, the warriors of the Chasers are the elite of the elite. The squadron of chasers led by Zhang Nai, scattered in various mountain passes where the Sultan's own troops could pass, specialized in cold shooting. They worked with local tribal forces to find An-Naid and Mahmud.

Whether Ann Naider dies or not, it doesn't matter. Mahmud must die. This veteran, with a lot of battlefield experience, was one of the pillars of the Ottoman Empire's [***] team. If he is allowed to run back to the Ottoman Empire, he may soon make a comeback. He knows how to learn lessons, and if he is given a chance to resurge, the consequences can be big or small. Such potential opponents must be eliminated as much as possible.

"He must be killed!" This is Xu Xingxia's clear directive.

"Whoever gets the head of Mahmud is a meritorious man. No matter what happened in the past, I can be blameless. These are Savanna's exact words.

With the orders of the two of them, the head of Mahmud is naturally in jeopardy.

The ambush of the chasseurs, in addition to consuming the lives of the Sultan's own soldiers step by step, also played a role in liaison and assembly. As long as their guns rang out, the surrounding Sun cavalry soldiers would subconsciously move closer to them, and everyone would work together to kill all the Sultan's own soldiers who appeared. The remnants of the Ottoman [***] team can only be miserable.

And at this time, the leopard cavalry and mastiff cavalry who followed the advance also killed behind the butts of Mahmud and others. Their arrival poses an even greater threat to Mahmud and others. If they converge with the Hayabusa cavalry in front, Mahmud and the others will definitely be finished.

Both of these units are known for their mobile surnames. The mastiff cavalry, in particular, marched very fast. The task given to them by Xu Xingxia was to kill every Ottoman Emperor [***] team as much as possible. In addition to this, they had to enter the territory of the Safavid as fast as possible and get in touch with the Abbasid I of the Safavids.

Xu Xingxia's meaning was to use the army of the Safavid Dynasty as the vanguard to attack the core hinterland of the Ottoman Empire's [***] team. Abbasid I had a deep enmity with the Ottoman Empire, and he would have been glad to do so. For the time being, the White Coats will need more time to adapt to climate change in West Asia. Therefore, it is unlikely that a large-scale battle will be launched in the short term.

As for the lion cavalry, they are better at regular positional warfare, storming fortifications. Therefore, the task of besieging Mulu City fell on the head of the lion cavalry. Due to the rapid arrival of the White Army, all the putschists of the Kingdom of Khorasan, including Mashatini, did not have time to escape. They could only hide in Mulu City and resist stubbornly.

In the face of the 8,000 army of the Lion Cavalry, as well as more than 300 mortars, not to mention the humble Mulu City, which is the capital of the Ottoman Empire and the famous fortified city of Istanbul, I am afraid that it will not last long. After the mortars fired three rounds of shells in a row, the white flag had to be raised on the head of Mulu City.

Mathatini, who was gone, had no way to stop the defenders from opening the city gates and letting the white-clothed troops outside the city enter the city. She could only take a handful of henchmen with her, anxiously waiting for doom to come in the palace. She couldn't stop in panic, and she looked at the poison placed in front of her several times, but she didn't have the courage to drink it.

The gate of Mulu City opened, and the vanguard cavalry unit of the Lion Cavalry quickly entered the city and controlled all the commanding heights. Subsequently, with the support of mortars, they marched towards the royal palace. Along the way, the guards of the palace wisely laid down their weapons. At this time, if they still want to continue to resist, it is really looking for death.

In the end, under the planning of the rebellious minister Charlotte, most of the vassals and lords of Khorasan once again elected Sawana as the queen of the Kingdom of Khorasan. Savana, more than three years after leaving the Kingdom of Khorasan, once again ascended to the throne of the queen.

In the end, Marthatini did not make up her mind to commit suicide and was captured alive on the spot. Subsequently, her whereabouts are unknown. At the same time, the whereabouts are unknown, as well as the queen of the kingdom of Yue, Rosalind, and the queen of the kingdom of Bukhara, Harouer. The three beautiful priestesses of the Three Kingdoms of the Western Regions were also captured by the white-clothed army, and together with a large number of young and beautiful goddess officials, they were sent back by the white-clothed army. As for where they will be sent, few people know for the time being.

In November, the whites and the remnants of the Sultan's own soldiers fought fiercely on a large scale at the Beboka Pass. The Hayabusa cavalry, who arrived early, blocked all the way of the remaining Sultan's own soldiers, and pressed them into the valley. The later arrival of the Leopard Cavalry and the Mastiff Cavalry cut off all retreats of the Sultan's own soldiers.

In desperation, the besieged Sultan's own soldiers, about three or four thousand people, were forced to launch a suicidal assault on the white-clothed army. As a result, it was defeated by the White Army. Ann Naid was taken prisoner. Mahmoud committed suicide. So far, the situation in the three countries of the Western Regions has basically stabilized.

In December of the first year of Taichang, the Dragon Cavalry, the Tiger Cavalry, the Wolf Cavalry, the Qin Cavalry, the Song Cavalry, the Tianxiang Army and other troops entered the Three Kingdoms of the Western Regions one after another. Anyone with a discerning eye can see that the purpose of their arrival is not the Three Kingdoms of the Western Regions, but the farther West.

Perhaps, in Xu Xingxia's eyes, the Three Kingdoms of the Western Regions are just a small post station, and the white-clothed army will continue to move forward after just a little pause and rest here. The battles that took place before were all in preparation for large-scale battles in the future.

From a strategic point of view, the white-clothed army needs to buffer the three countries in the Western Regions, reserve more supplies, and train more troops. The Ottoman Empire [***] needed to mobilize more troops to the territory of the Safavid Dynasty to stop the westward advance of the White Army.

There is no need for Xu Xingxia to participate in these things. The commanders of the various units formed a joint command and jointly discussed and decided how to carry out the early attack and win over the Safavid dynasty and how to create favorable conditions for a large-scale offensive in the future.

In the summer of Taichang's second year, Xu Xingxia slowly returned to Xi'an.
