825 Khorasan Rebels
Just when Akberinamu was still thinking about how to attack, something he hadn't expected happened when the rebels went out of the city to fight decisively.
Akberinamu has been fighting with the rebels for almost a year. He has tossed for thousands of miles and pursued them everywhere. He knows the strength of these people very well, although he can’t understand why these rebels take the initiative to fight. , But he knew one thing very well, that was Huoxun was besieged, and it was impossible for these rebels to get any Huoxun equipment.
But he was still very careful. After the entire army attacked, he only sent the strongest 10,000 men in his hand to fight, wanting to see what the opponent wanted to do. The results of the contact between the two sides made him very satisfied. The rebels were not opponents at all and suffered heavy casualties. After that, he overwhelmed the army, because the rebels were the whole army and left no room for it. Obviously, they wanted to fight a deadly battle.
The 10,000 people sent by Akberinamu did not find anything wrong, and the rebels were a little bit unstoppable. However, the 10,000 people were still a little less. If he wanted to solve the opponent quickly, he had to take the rest. The army pressed up. In his opinion, there is no suspense in this battle, although he still can't figure out what is going on with the rebels.
When the whole army was overwhelmed, the rebels disintegrated and began to retreat to the city of Ahnqitia behind the battlefield. Seeing this, Akberinamu knew that no matter whether the rebels could return to the city, they were over. In the previous battle, thousands of people died in the battle. Now, under the chase of the whole army, at least nearly 10,000 will be lost. It is absolutely impossible to defend the city of Antioch with the remaining strength.
At this moment, the accident happened. Suddenly, there was a dense cannon sound under the city. Akberinamu's eyes twitched as he watched all this happen. His soldiers continued to charge, but what is the immense power of the artillery? They can resist it, and the artillery has never stopped and has been firing.
The one hundred artillery pieces under the city were placed in a fan shape. As soon as the rebels withdrew to the back of the artillery, they stopped running. They also took out bows and arrows to shoot. Naturally, the chasing food army became more vigorous, and took out a pair of unarmed. These rebels strangled them, and they never gave up. It was true that their morale rose. They all knew that after this battle, the rebels would be completely wiped out. ァ新ヤ~⑧~1~中文网ωωω.χ~⒏~1zщ.còм
But when the food army approached, they realized that they were facing artillery. Most people didn’t know what artillery was. Even after being hit by artillery, they were still rushing forward until they were seriously injured. , And seeing many people running back, they were completely awake.
Although the artillery was equipped with only four cartridges, it was reloaded by someone on the side. After the four cartridges were fired continuously, two more cartridges had been loaded with ammunition, and the shooting distance of the artillery was not short. When the big cannibal retreated, there was still a rumbling of cannons behind them.
After the sound of the artillery, Zhang Da led a thousand musketeers and rode around behind the food army. Their goal was naturally Akberinamu. There were only two to three thousand people in the back of the food army. They were 1,000. Musketeers are enough to strangle these people.
In the city of Amchitia, seeing that the food army was repelled, Ahir led three thousand cavalrymen to attack, and the soldiers outside the city also joined in the pursuit.
Until Akberinamu was shot, he didn't want to understand where these artillery and musketeers came from. After all, after fighting for nearly a year, he knew very well what weapons the rebels had. But no matter if he can figure it out or not, he has also died in battle, and everything in the world has nothing to do with him anymore.

The food army was more than 30,000, and the number of captured was nearly 20,000. As for these prisoners of war, Asher and Kraft had a great controversy. Asher meant to kill all these people, after all, they would soon To lead the army to attack Isfahan, they need to enter the Sistan area and the Fars area. In terms of military strength, there are not many people and materials to hold so many prisoners of war.
This is actually a very real problem. If you say that you are still the same as before, there are nearly 60,000 people, and materials are abundant. That's nothing, but now it is different. Not to mention the drastic reduction in personnel, and the serious loss of materials. It is indeed unwise to drag nearly 20,000 prisoners of war.
Kraft meant to keep these people. His point is that these people will be of great help after the war. Not only is it a pity to kill, it will also make the people resist the insurgents because of these captured people. Here, nearly half are Persians, after all, many of them are from the Fars region.
In the end, Zhang Da gave his opinion. He felt that what Kraft said was quite reasonable. After all, Li You was going to kill the food this time instead of looting. It is more important to keep these people than to kill them. It's useful, anyway, they have heavy weapons in their hands. If they are really fighting, they will have fewer people, so there is no need to be afraid of anything. After all, there are no clearing-up troops in several regions. They can also recruit more people to join the insurgents along the way. .
There is really no problem with this idea. The Makland area is remote and there are few garrisons, so there is no need to worry about them, and there are fewer garrisons in the Sistan area. In the past two years, the rebellion in the Sistan area has been fierce and fought again. For several battles, the army lost a lot, and even Governor Cyrus was killed by the rebels.
Originally, the new governor of Sistan conscripted some soldiers, but after the rebels came, half of them joined the rebels. After that, they didn’t dare to do anything like conquering soldiers. There was only one thing. Apart from defending the city, the army has no ability to do other things, let alone send troops to counter the rebellion.
There were originally soldiers in the Fars area, and there were still a lot of them, but this time, Akberinamu took away 20,000 troops from the Fars area. In other words, there are now only two troops in the Fars area. Ten thousand troops, so when they go to attack Isfahan, the capital of the Fars region, they will not encounter too many troops, even if they add the troops of Hamadan and Nihavin, which are eight hundred miles away. , The most is more than 30,000, relying on the sharpness of muskets and artillery, it can still fight.
Besides, Li You attacked Basra and Kufa, and Hamadan and Nihavin, which are at the same distance, would definitely send troops to reinforce. Therefore, Zhang Da thought that their pressure was not great, but the greatest pressure came from Huoxun. The big food army on the side.
Once the domestic civil strife breaks out, the troops besieging Huoxun will inevitably retreat. In terms of time, it will be as fast as one month and less than two months slower. Therefore, it is not difficult to attack Isfahan. Is the hardest.
After resting for two days in the city of Amchitia, Zhang Da and others set off with 20,000 people, leaving 3,000 people and some wounded soldiers in the city to see the prisoners of war.
There are about five or six thousand insurgents near the city of Herat. In other words, Zhang Da and his team have less than thirty thousand troops to attack Isfahan, but they believe that under the current circumstances, they are Some people can be recruited in Khorasan and Sistan.
