Chapter 829 Fierce Battle at Crescent Castle
In the garden, I was chatting with Miss Denar about me. My Simmons heard the movement inside the room and hurriedly walked in and asked what had happened.
Before Denar could speak, the manor manager told the matter in detail. Simmons sneered: "Isn't it just the scattered soldiers of the hundreds of Sassanians, so Lord Denar doesn't have to worry. I will lead my troops out of the city to wipe them out."
Denar hurriedly shook his hand and said, "No, this matter is too risky." Simmons smiled and said, "Don't worry, Lord Xihou, I can't be defeated. You don't have to send out one army or another."
"Hey, it's not that I don't believe you can destroy these Sasanians. But I'm worried that you will kill them. They still have a large number of troops behind them. How should we deal with it at that time? Although the emperor of Daliang Kingdom is determined to fight the west, hasn't their large troops arrived yet? We can't suffer this loss."
Denar hurriedly explained, then paused and said, "We still need to vain and delay the troops. It is the best way to say that it is useless. Let's go to the city to see what these Sassanians want to do."
Soon, several people surrounded the soldiers and climbed to the top of the city. When Kosak saw Denar coming out, he said without waiting for the other party to speak: "I have never asked what Lord Xihou of this castle should call him before."
"To be honest, I am Lord Xihou of this Crescent Oasis. My name is Denar, and I dare to ask what the general is called. Didn't you agree before that you can get the seals that can prove your identity? Will my Crescent Oasis surrender you? Why did you come back so soon?"
Kossack laughed and said, "I don't hide it from Lord Xihou anymore, I am Kossack."
"What, you are Kossack!" Denar opened his mouth wide in surprise and blurted out. The name Kossack has frequently appeared in letters exchanged by the Kushan nobles in recent times. Even in such a remote place as the Crescent Oasis, Denar had also heard of it.
"Yes, I am Kossak. In fact, we and the army are not lost. Sassanid's five thousand cavalry are stationed twenty miles northwest, and should be heading here now. I used to test whether you are hostile to us Sassanid. If you are enemies of us from the bottom of your heart, you will launch a sneak attack when you see us hungry and thirst. Fortunately, you have withstood the test, otherwise you will face a catastrophe."
When Denar heard his words, he was shocked. Kossack changed his tone and said, "Didn't you want to prove the token of our Sassanian army? I have a royal talisman engraved with my name. You can tell at a glance." After that, Kossack raised a talisman carved by a gem.
Denar waved his hand and someone dropped a hanging basket under the city wall. A personal soldier of Denar rushed forward and put the Kossack's seal in the hanging basket. Denar glanced at the agate seal and was sure that it was true. In fact, he knew that it was true without looking at it, because there were no so-called sand bandits nearby, so they must be Sassanian army. How could ordinary low-level Sassanian generals pretended to be their lord and negotiated privately with an enemy lord?
When Denar was hesitating about how to answer, Kosak shouted again: "Verify and open the city gate quickly. After we complete the handover procedure and ceremony, you and your people will officially become our Sasanian subjects and will not be attacked and killed by my Sasanian cavalry again. Then I will return with my troops and ensure that there is no offense."
Although his words did not mean to intimidate, his tone was full of threat. The feeling that if he was not allowed to enter the city, he would immediately attack the Crescent Fortress. The general manager muttered in Denale's ear: "Master, don't believe his words. Once he enters the city, he might be able to do something."
Simmons, who was standing aside, sneered, "No, Lord Denar, let them enter the city. If they really leave as quickly as he said, we will ignore them for the time being and wait for the army of Daliang to arrive. If he has any plans and rash things, I will kill them immediately."
Denar thought it was true, and what Simmons said was a two-way solution. If his delayed strategy could be successful, then continue. On the contrary, Simmons would kill the other party. Anyway, the other party would have to use a knife. Who cares if there are really five thousand Sasanian cavalry behind him?
Thinking of this, he immediately shouted to Kosack under the city: "General Kosack, wait, I will open the door for you now." At the same time, Simmons had already walked down the city to make arrangements.
Kosack was secretly happy, knowing that he was about to successfully open the city gate. But after a while, when he was impatient, the gate of Crescent Fort opened. Kosack quickly waved his hand and said, "Tell me the order, enter the city." Then he whispered: "After entering the city, listen to my order. When taking action, you must be surprised and kill all the vitals and all those holding weapons!"
Kosak stepped forward and approached Crescent Fort step by step. When he entered the city gate, he found Denar was standing on the main street with a group of soldiers to greet him. He was nearly ten miles away from Denar, and the other party shouted: "Please dismount your horse and go to our government office to discuss it."
Kosak did not respond and continued to ride his horse towards the other side, and the speed was getting faster and faster. Finally, he whipped the horse. The same was true for the iron cavalry behind him. More than a hundred riders galloped on the road paved with stone strips, and their momentum was extremely powerful. Hundreds of cavalry and lances were also raised.
Denar's face suddenly changed color. When the other party rushed over, he and the generals of the Ding family behind him were afraid that the corpses would be mixed into a ball of meat paste on the road. Fortunately, he was prepared enough and shouted: "Run quickly!"
In an instant, Denar and a group of people around him disappeared from Kossack's sight, and the people behind him ran back like a flying horse. It turned out that Denar and his confidants deliberately stood at the intersection of the side alley and the main street. As long as they moved a few steps to the side, they could avoid the impact of the Sassanian Iron Cavalry.
Seeing the target disappear, Kosak saw that the target disappeared, but it was impossible to turn his head and rush into the side alley to chase Denar, so he could only rush forward. The same was true for the Sassanid cavalry following behind. After stabbing seven or eight Denar's soldiers with their spears, they found that there was no figure on the street. In front was the Denar's mansion with its gates closed and high walls.
However, at this time their horse speed had slowed down and turned their heads to pursue the escaped Denar. Unexpectedly, as soon as they turned around, they found that there were dense soldiers behind them.
In fact, the number of people on the other side was not large, only fifty people, but the streets that were only three battles wide were blocked tightly. The spears stood up like a forest. Needless to say, these were the spearmen brought by Simmons.
