The only difference from the previous battlefield is that there is no blood left. The sand here is indeed too dry. No matter how much blood comes out, it can penetrate to the bottom of the sand. There were almost no wounded at the scene. For all the fanatics and wounded, as long as they are still conscious, have committed suicide in one way or another.

Liu Chuang came to Xu Xingxia's side, and said angrily: "These rabbit cubs are indeed a little dead in their brains, and they are not enlightened at all, but they are really not afraid of death." I just saw a wounded fanatic, whose legs were blown off, and his intestines were flowing out, and he was dying, and when he saw me walking over, he didn't mean to ask me for help at all, but tore his intestines alive, and then he died. ”

Xu Xingxia said with some consternation: "He broke his intestines just to commit suicide?" ”

Liu Chuang nodded vigorously. It seems that he, a simple-minded guy with five big and three rough, was also shocked by the wounded of that fanatic. In the case of serious injuries, it takes a lot of courage to break your intestines and commit suicide. If it weren't for the extreme brain death, if it wasn't for being brainwashed to the extreme, how could you do such an amazing thing?

Xu Xingxia was silent for a moment, unwilling to continue on this topic. Those fanatics are indeed heroic. Religious and emotional factors aside, it is a miracle in itself that they were able to show such terrible courage. In Xu Xingxia's impression, it seems that only religion can create such miracles. In terms of mere courage, the most elite troops of the White Army could not reach their level. Their courage can be described as perverted.

Their commander, however, was stupid to the extreme. She didn't know basic military knowledge at all, and just blindly wanted fanatics to come up and send them to death. If she had been a little smarter, a full twenty or thirty thousand fanatics would have had every hope of a tie with the three thousand men of the White Army. Even if he loses, he won't lose so badly. Poor fanatic, it was too bad luck to meet such a commander.

"I seem to have done something wrong......"

Xu Xingxia suddenly realized that he shouldn't have sent someone to arrest Mashatini. Like a "competent" commander like her, where will the white-clothed army go to find it? Her appearance is simply God favoring the white-clothed army. If Mathatini is killed, and the fanatic is replaced by a high-level who really knows how to fight, the resistance encountered by the white army will definitely be greater. It's a pity that Sawanna and Zhang Nai have already set off, and even if they want to chase them, they can't catch them back.

After a moment of silence, Xu Xingxia said to Liu Chuang: "How is the situation of the troops?" What about the consumption of ammunition? Can you continue to attack Turpan? ”

Liu Chuang grinned and said, "Of course there is no problem. We had just crossed the Flaming Mountains before we won a battle, and the morale of the soldiers was very high. The ammunition of our chasers is basically nothing to consume. It was the artillery of the Lion Cavalry, and the mortars were consumed a lot. However, even without artillery support, we can continue to attack Turpan. No problem at all. Your Excellency, give the order, and we will continue to attack. ”

Xu Xingxia shook his head lightly and said slowly: "Inform the troops and rest for three days." ”

Liu Chuang said with some surprise: "My lord, don't we continue to attack Turpan?" If we had rested here for three days, we might have been more prepared on the Turpan side. If we kill it now, they won't be able to stop it. ”

Xu Xingxia said slowly: "The soldiers are very tired, they should rest first before fighting." ”

Liu Chuang wanted to speak and stopped. Of course, he would not resist carrying out Xu Xingxia's orders. Since Xu Xingxia wanted the troops to rest, he let the troops rest to the letter. However, he really didn't understand why Xu Xingxia didn't strike while the iron was hot and took Turpan City down in one fell swoop. What an opportunity! What a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, what a pity to miss it!

In fact, with the combat effectiveness of the chasers, with the help of Han-style rifles, grenades and explosives, there was really no difficulty in conquering the city of Turpan. This is not Liu Chuang's boasting. As long as the chasers marched to the outside of Turpan City, as long as he was given two hours, he could easily take Turpan City. He can even make military orders.

Zhang Tianhao explained with a smile: "Liu Chuang, don't misunderstand, think that adults won't give you the opportunity to make meritorious contributions." Actually, you don't understand what adults mean. The adults are not ready to settle Turpan by force. Perhaps, we will sit here for three days, and Turpan will be in hand. ”

Liu Chuang finally heard a little clue, and said with some doubts: "You mean that Turpan may take the initiative to surrender to us?" ”

Zhang Tianhao said with a smile: "Actually, it can't be regarded as an initiative. They were so shocked by us that they didn't have the courage to keep fighting. Since you don't want to fight and want to keep your own territory, you have to surrender to us. They were simply frightened by your chasseurs and surrendered passively. It is estimated that their negotiation secret envoy will appear soon. ”

Before the words fell, the leader of a scout squad of the chasers walked quickly to Xu Xingxia's side, and reported loudly: "Ladies and gentlemen, we have captured a small group of strange Turpan cavalry, not carrying any weapons. They said that they were sent from the Yarkand Khanate, and they wanted to talk about some things with the top brass of our White Army. Please give me instructions on how to dispose of it. ”

Zhang Tianhao said with a smile: "No, say Cao Ying, Cao Ying will arrive, they really can't wait, they didn't even go back to Turpan City, so they sent a secret envoy." ”

Liu Chuang scratched the back of his head and said with a strange expression: "It seems that they are really scared, and they hurriedly came to ask for peace talks." My lord, we chasers don't dare to take credit for this matter. That's all the credit of Zhou Weihong. ”

Zhang Tianhao said with a smile: "For the time being, the credit must be credited to your chasers." The less people know about the mortar brigade, the better. They're our secret weapon. The best results can only be achieved when used suddenly, unexpectedly. If the whole world knew about their existence, we wouldn't be able to sing in the future. ”

Xu Xingxia nodded thoughtfully, and said slowly: "You go and deal with it." The basic principles are: First, the Turpan area must be controlled by us, and we must station a large number of troops here and hoard a large amount of military supplies. Second, a certain number of Han Chinese also need to be migrated. Third, the Turpan cavalry must assist our white-clothed army in battle. In other words, they must make a public statement to disassociate themselves from the Green Church. ”

"In exchange, the title of governor of Turpan of Abdul Rain, we can keep it for a while. We also protect the lawful property of him and his subordinates. We are not guilty of what they have done before. As for the rest, they must be disposed of in accordance with the relevant laws and regulations, and they must not give an inch. ”

"I see!" Zhang Tianhao understood it.

Liu Chuang sighed with some regret. Even if his brain is not very sharp and not very smart, he can basically guess that Turpan will definitely agree to these conditions put forward by Xu Xingxia. Because, if they don't agree, their fate will be very miserable. They're smart people who don't do stupid things.

To be able to keep the title of Governor of Turpan for a period of time is to save his face. Abdul Rain will not be deprived of all his aura at once. And to be able to keep his legal private property, this is the lizi. At least, there are no problems with personal life. The face and the inside are gone, if Abdul Rayin is not satisfied, then he is really looking for death.

What the? Do you still want to keep your army? Brother, don't be so naïve, okay? What is the purpose of war? Isn't it just to destroy your army? If you still have an army stationed in Turpan City, is Turpan City still under the control of the White Army? If you dare to make such a request, it will not take three days, but only two days, and you, Abdul Rain, and all your men, will be hanged at the gates of the city of Turpan.

As for Abdullatif, he will definitely acquiesce in Abdullain's refuge. For him, Abdul Rain's refuge was not a bad thing, but a good thing. Because, no matter what, this is a pathfinder stone, which can effectively test the reaction of the white-clothed army. If he wants to take refuge in him one day, it will be easy to find someone to catch up.

For the white-clothed army, the biggest advantage of absorbing the Turpan cavalry to surrender is, of course, having a group of local snakes to serve themselves. The biggest characteristic of these Turpan cavalry is that they are familiar with the local topography and landform and adapt to the local climate characteristics. They operate in the Western Regions, as if the white-clothed army is operating in the Central Plains, with almost no restrictions.

No matter how advanced the weapons and equipment of the white-clothed army were, it was still very difficult to fight in such a harsh place as the Western Regions. Fight with the sky, fight with the earth, fight with people. At present, the biggest enemy of the white army is the harsh natural conditions. Without the help of the locals, the pace of the white army's advance will become heavier and heavier.

Of course, Turpan wants to take refuge in it, and the resistance is not small. The biggest resistance, of course, is the influence of the vast empire from the West, as well as from within the Green Church. The Green Cult is definitely unwilling to take refuge in it. The death of 30,000 fanatics was an impenetrable barrier between them and the white-clothed army. And under the pressure of the Western behemoths, some of the Turpan generals may not dare to take refuge in it. They fear reprisals in the future.

These need to be measured by Abdul Rain himself. He, the governor of Turpan, if he can't even handle the people inside himself, then he has to be called an idiot. And for an idiot, the white-clothed army naturally has no need to be heavy, just wave the army and kill it.
