As a traditional Tatar aristocrat, imadepa Xiasheng likes attack rather than defense. If it had not been for the over important position of begzisala as the capital of Crimea and the false rumors of the enemy''s extremely large military strength, Imad Pasha would not have chosen to defend from the beginning.


    The massacre of Turkish businessmen in the city was also out of a misjudgment of this situation. Ottoman Turks have been gaining prestige for a long time. Both Crimean nobles and civilians are afraid of them. If they do not use this thunder means, how can they bind everyone with their own will and guard begzisalai wholeheartedly!


    Now, the strength of the enemy has clearly appeared in front of Imad Pasha. Of course, Imad Pasha will not continue to stay in the capital like a coward waiting for the enemy to come.


    In addition, Imad Pasha has carefully considered the choice of night attack. Imad Pasha knows that night combat is the most conducive to winning the crowd, and the shooting accuracy of Sudanese soldiers will be greatly affected at night, and his 50 Crimean heavy armor cavalry will give full play to the great advantage of close combat.


    As for his night raid plan, Imad Pasha did not tell Yishi LAN gley''s wife and the Minister of Khan palace. Because he stubbornly believed that these people had long been frightened by the huge sign of Ottoman Turkey and were afraid of any move against Sudan. Discuss with them, in addition to wrangling and wasting time, there will be no result at all.


    At 3 midnight, when Khan''s wife, young son and ministers fell asleep, Imad Pasha summoned all the cavalry in the Khan palace.


    With the help of his servant, old Pasha put on the long metal plate chain armour. He put down the huge nose guard on the Tatar helmet, and his snow-white beard trembled slightly in the breeze.


    "Rafad, what are the enemies outside the city doing at night?" Imad Pasha asked his servant.


    The servant named Lafayette, while tightening his belt for Imad, smiled and replied, "master, as soon as it was dark, the enemies outside the city lit a huge bonfire in their camp. They sang and danced, and found Gypsies to play and perform."


    "Hum!"


    Imad Pasha snorted heavily. He has always despised the extravagance and indulgence of Mahmoud Pasha. He didn''t expect this guy to go to the battlefield.


    Looking at the scattered lights in the enemy barracks outside the city, Imad Pasha crawled to the ground and prayed to Allah for victory.


    "Allahu Akbar!" Imad Pasha read.


    Imad Pasha is one of the few nobles in Crimean Khanate who do not praise Hu Akbar in the name of Sudan, and people like him are an absolute minority in Khanate. They all have a belief, that is to get rid of the control of the Ottoman Turks, make the Khanate truly independent and rebuild the glory of the golden tent Khanate. Before he ascended the Khan throne, Yishi LAN Gelai was also in the same line with Imad Pasha, which is one of the reasons why Imad Pasha will support Yishi LAN Gelai. To old Pasha''s disappointment, at the beginning, LAN gley has changed since he became a Khan. He said that he should not act too hastily. Instead of breaking away from the Ottoman Turkish Empire, he accepted the canonization of Istanbul.


    After praying for victory, Imad Pasha got on his horse. The gate of Khan palace opened slowly in front of Imad Pasha and his 1000 cavalry.


    Lights were lit in some rooms in the Khan palace. People in their sleep were awakened.


    Imad Pasha would not give time to dissuade himself. He clamped his horse''s belly and rushed out of the door first.


    Behind him, a thousand Crimean Tatar cavalry, led by heavily armored cavalry, followed like a long snake.


    The gate of the outer city of begzisalai was also opened


    In the camp outside the city, Chechen is sitting in the tent. The table in front of him was full of pistols, long guns, knives, swords, daggers and other weapons. Chechen picked up a white towel and carefully wiped his hummingbird.


    After wiping it, Chechen smeared some oil on the slender sword. Just then Fatima opened the tent.


    "Commander, Xie Miao, they are all ready."


    At this time, Fatima also looked like wearing armor.


    "Very good, Fatima." Chechen smiled and praised.


    Then he asked, "oxana, where are they?"


    Fatima first took off her helmet, then stroked her hair, and then replied, "she and the Gypsies went down to have a rest. Just now I met her, she kept complaining and said, Captain, no wonder you didn''t have a good rest after talking about bagzisarai. Her legs were sore after dancing all day."


    In this regard, Chechen said: "no, it doesn''t seem that Mahmoud Pasha is extravagant and indulged in wine and lust, and how can it make Imad Pasha safely and boldly attack us. Besides, oxana and their legs are just a little sour, and Stepan Rahim and Xie Miao have contributed their stomachs."


    With that, Chechen looked up and said, "now, wait for Imad Pasha to attack us."


    Fatima went to Cherchen, picked up a dagger on the table, and gently stroked the sharp blade with her thumb.


    "Be careful, Fatima." Chechen couldn''t help reminding.


    Fatima smiled because of Cherchen''s concern for herself.


    Suddenly, Fatima remembered something. She asked Cherchen, "Captain, are you so sure that Imad Pasha will attack tonight?"


    "I''m not sure." Chechen blurted out.


    "Ah!" Fatima opened her mouth in surprise. Fatima thought that Cherchen had made this arrangement and was 100% sure that there would be an enemy attack tonight.


    "I just say it''s possible. If we don''t come tonight, we''ll play it again tomorrow night. If the cat wants to steal the fish, he will be hooked one day. Moreover, Imad Pasha, a traditional Tatar, sees that our advantage is not so obvious and spends all night drinking and drinking, he will definitely have the idea of fighting." Chechen explained.


    But this logic still makes Fatima''s brain unable to turn around. After all, Imad Pasha assumed the posture of keeping close watch on bagchisale and waiting for Yishi LAN gley before Chechen came. Would it be because he drank and danced in his military camp that he would change the previous arrangement?.


    So, Chechen had to further explain: "Fatima, what are the Tatars best at?"


    "Catching slaves and grazing," Fatima blurted out.


    "No, I mean war."


    "Attack, of course."


    As soon as she spoke, Fatima understood.


    Yes, the Tatars of Crimea are famous all over the world for their light cavalry. What they are best at is attack. From a wide range of encirclement, circuitous return to the battle and throw arrow rain, these are the inherent abilities of Tatars. But when it comes to guarding the city, our compatriots are much worse. They will not build forts, nor will they arrange echelon firepower and troops. Often the so-called city defense is just to gather a bunch of people on the head of the city. After Fatima joined the mercenary regiment and Cherchen, they experienced several attacks and defences. After the war, they had a clearer impression of this.


    Of course, many Crimean Tatar generals are also aware of this problem, but their way to solve the problem is not to learn how to defend the city, which they are not familiar with. Also because they are unwilling to learn, they naturally replace defense with the attack they are good at. It is called attack is the best defense.


    Seeing Fatima''s suddenly enlightened look, Chechen knew she understood.


    Chechen said, "so I believe that even if Imad Pasha doesn''t come today, he will go out of the city to fight me sooner or later tomorrow and the day after tomorrow."


    Fatima looked at Chechen''s confident smile and sighed, "Captain, you''re so smart."


    Suddenly, Fatima remembered something, and she decided to say it. Because even if it doesn''t help Cherchen, it can also be regarded as telling a story.


    Fatima opened her mouth: "Captain, I have another thing to tell you."


    "What''s clear?"


    "It''s about Muhammad gley."


    As soon as Chechen heard about Muhammad gley and saw that Fatima said so formally, he also sat upright and faced Fatima.


    "A few years before I met you, I played for Tuha ibei


    For Tuha ibei, Chechen knows. Because everyone who knows a little about the zaporoze Cossack uprising in 1648 can''t jump away from this person. But through Fatima, Chechen knows something he didn''t know before, such as the relationship between Tuha ibei and hemelinitsky. They have a good personal relationship and are still like-minded wine friends.


    Of course, that''s not the point. The point is Muhammad gley.


    Tukhaibei came to Ukraine at the beginning of zaporoze''s Cossack uprising. His excellent cooperation with khmelinitsky on the battlefield once led to repeated defeats and great panic in the Republic of Poland, so that he falsely said that there were 100000 Tatar troops led by Tuhai Beiyi.


    The Crimean Tatar army brought by Tuha ibei at the beginning was only 4000 cavalry, but at the beginning of the uprising, he took a large number of prisoners of war and ordinary Ukrainian farmers, and in order to further weaken the power of Poland Lithuania.


    In the following war, although due to the advent of winter and the sudden outbreak of the serious black death in the army, the Cossack and Tatar coalition forces had to reach an agreement with the Federation to withdraw their troops near Warsaw, the capital of the Republic of Poland. Warsaw, the capital of the Republic of Poland, was not ransacked as expected, but Tuha ibei has robbed more than 200000 people from Ukraine and Poland in this war.


    Such a great harvest naturally aroused the interest of Crimean Khan Mohamed gley at that time. Therefore, when the short-term armistice between the Republic of Poland and zaporoze Cossacks ended, Mohamed gley decided to personally lead his troops to Ukraine.


    But soon, a fierce conflict broke out between Tuha ibei and Muhammad Glei. The reason is that at the end of the siege of zbalari, the Cossacks and Tatars had enough opportunities to capture the Polish king kazimiz at one fell swoop, but Mohamed gley chose to betray the Cossacks and make peace with kazimiz. And because of the sudden incident, the agreement was made without Tuhai beii''s knowledge. Therefore, at that time, tuhaibeii was very dissatisfied with Muhammad gley''s decision, but there was nothing to do. The withdrawal of Crimean Tatar troops from the battlefield finally led to the failure of the war. After that, the third war broke out between the Republic of Poland and zaporoze Cossacks. In the most important battle of bereszechko, the zaporoze Cossacks could not trust them because of the treachery of the Tatars. Although Tuha ibei and hemelinitsky tried their best to make up, they were still of no help. Finally, the two sides camped separately.


    In the history known to Cherchen, the Polish artillery had an excellent shooting target because the general camp led by Mohamed gley was located in an open and high place. After a heavy shelling, a large number of Tatar soldiers and officers were killed, including Tuha ibei.


    But Fatima told Cherchen a different version. That is, Tuha ibei did not die under the shelling, but by an assassin sent by Muhammad Glei.


    "Before the decisive battle, Tuhai Beiyi once again clashed with Muhammad gley. The reason is that Muhammad gley unexpectedly asked Tuhai Beiwan to kidnap khmelinitsky and make peace with the Republic of Poland. This proposal angered Tuhai Beiyi, who threatened that if Muhammad gley did so again, he would return to Crimea Yahou wanted to depose him with other nobles. The next day, Tuhai beii died under a dagger. At that time, I was with him. Later, I caught the assassin and learned from him that Muhammad gley sent him. "


    After hearing Fatima''s words, Chechen fell into meditation. He didn''t doubt the truth of what Fatima said, because Fatima was a witness. He was just wondering if the Khan would treat himself like Muhammad gley when he paid for him.


    When the cunning rabbit dies, the running dog cooks; When birds are exhausted, good bows hide.


    It seems that I have to prepare some backup. At the same time, Chechen is also glad to know these secrets in advance, so that he has a deeper understanding of Muhammad gley and preparedness in advance.


    "Captain, is what I said helpful to you?" Fatima asked without speaking for a long time.


    "Very helpful, Fatima!" Chechen happily took Fatima''s hand.


    This intimate action made Fatima blush again.


    For a time, the tent was filled with a beautiful atmosphere.


    But this atmosphere did not last long, because suddenly there was a cry and harmony with the fierce sound of Horseshoes outside the camp:


    "Alahu Akbar!"


    It''s an enemy attack!


    Chechen and Fatima suddenly woke up. After Cherchen equipped all the weapons on the table, Fatima escorted Cherchen out.


    "Captain," said shemiao godonov, running to Cherchen''s face, his eyes full of worship.


    "Enemy attack, enemy attack! Those circled legs are finally here!"


    "How many of them?"


    "At least thousands."


    "Great!"


    Chechen was beaming with joy.


    Imad Pasha, who entered the camp, felt like a giant trapped in a quagmire.


    At the beginning, the cavalry led by him easily attacked the enemy''s camp. Although the enemy blocked it, the enemies who resisted the high-speed charging horses with their chests were certainly knocked down by the heavy Armored Cavalry like a mantis. But slowly, with the deepening of the cavalry, the high speed of the horses gradually slowed down, and the team was pulled into a straight line due to the obstacles. Those enemies with blunt weapons, steel shields and long handled axes roaring with "Wula" constantly rushed up from the tent. They blocked the cavalry from all directions with human walls. Short and favorable blunt tools constantly knocked down the horses by knocking on their heads. Once the horses fell to the ground, the long and sharp long handled axes would kill the cavalry on the horses. The Tatar cavalry tried to fight back with their bows and arrows, but the feather arrows hit the steel shield and only made bursts of Ding.


    If so, Imad Pasha is not afraid. But when the fodder and tents in the camp were lit and the whole camp was illuminated like day, Imad Pasha began to fear. He feared that his cavalry exposed to the fire would become a living target for Sudanese soldiers.


    Sure enough, many white headscarves appeared faintly in the light of the fire, and they kept shooting at the Tatar cavalry in groups of ten. In each group of shots, several Tatar cavalry fell and dismounted.


    "Pasha, let''s retreat. It''s a trap. The enemy has already prepared."


    An old soldier covered with blood and as white as Imad Pasha came to Imad and advised him.


    As soon as the old soldier''s voice fell, with the sound of a gun, a small thumb thick blood hole appeared in his chest.


    "Allah!"


    The old soldier vomited blood and fell off his horse in front of Imad Pasha.


    In the distance, Chechen threw the black smoke Mikael musket to Viscount Hessen in disappointment.


    "It''s a pity that I missed!" Chechen sighed.


    His original target was the old man next to him who was wearing fine long metal plate chain armor, but the bullet missed.


    "Captain, should we go too?" the Viscount Hesse on one side was eager to try. The viscount and his Hessian mercenaries were retained by Cherchen as a reserve team.


    Seeing that Imad Pasha''s cavalry was almost weakened, Cherchen finally gave the order to attack.


    Regardless of the arrow rain that may shoot at any time, Chechen rode on his horse. He asked Fatima and Xie Miao to light themselves with torches.


    Chechen asked loudly on the horse, "are your swords sharpened, warriors like lions! Are you full of gunpowder! Are you full of fighting spirit!"


    In the light of the fire, Chechen''s figure is like a giant.


    Stephan Racine in front responded first: "yes, master! My sword is extremely sharp!"


    Kemal on the left also shouted, "our powder bag is bulging!"


    "We are full of fighting spirit," said Viscount Hesse behind us


    "Then, everybody, kill!"


    Che Chen shouted with all his strength.


    After shouting this sentence, Chechen clamped his horse''s belly and led Hessen mercenaries to rush up.


    On the wall of the outer city of begzisalai, at the beginning, LAN Glei''s wife, accompanied by several ministers, watched the fierce battle outside the city. When Imad Pasha''s army was in a bitter battle, the Khan asked Yang mamed Mirza if we should send troops to support Imad Pasha.


    "No, no!" Yang mamed milza said loudly: "after Khan, Imad made the decision to sneak attack without authorization. Now he is caught in a hard struggle and can''t protect himself. He is to blame. Besides, Imad took all the elite in the city and left some old, weak, sick and disabled. We should save him. If we have more heart but less strength."


    At the beginning of hearing this, LAN gley''s wife wiped her tears sadly.


    "But you can''t wait to die!"


    At this time, one person on the left and right stood up. He suggested to empress Khan, "master mother, we might as well move the guns in the inner city to open a few guns, which can be regarded as a little help to old Pasha."


    At the beginning of this suggestion, LAN gley''s wife looked at Jan mamed milza. She wanted to hear his opinion.


    Jan mamed Milwaukee shook his head.


    "After sweating, our artillery is too small. I''m afraid we can''t reach the enemy''s camp. Moreover, it''s easy to hurt ourselves by mistake."


    "This is not good, that is not good, what to do!" at the beginning, LAN gley''s wife was worried. She stamped her feet and wiped her eyes and went back to the begzisalai palace.


    The left and right hurried to keep up, while Jan mamed Millan was still standing at the head of the city.


    He said to himself, "Imad Pasha, it''s no wonder of me. If you win, I''ll go out of town to help you; but you can''t protect yourself now. I can only save myself first."


    With that, Yang mamed Millan shouted to the guard of the city gate, "wait a minute, no matter who comes back, don''t open the door, do you hear me!"


    The day began to dawn, and the battle outside the city was coming to an end.


    The raiding Tatar cavalry suffered heavy losses and were driven out of the camp. In the pursuit of Hessian mercenaries, there were fewer and fewer heavy cavalry around Imad Pasha - these Tatar warriors protected their master from bullets with their bodies and armor.


    When old Pasha finally retreated to the gate of begzisalai, there was no one around him.


    A thousand people go and one comes back. Imad Pasha couldn''t help but feel sad - is it true that God is going to kill me?.


    "Open the door!" Imad Pasha shouted from the city hall.


    But no one answered and the gate was not opened.


    "Open the door! I''m Imad Pasha." he shouted again, but no one answered.


    Thirty paces from Imad Pasha, viscount Hesse led Hesse mercenaries in a straight line. With muskets in their hands, they were slowly leaning towards Imad Pasha.


    Imad Pasha hit the horse and turned around. He seemed to understand that the gate of begzisarai would never be opened for himself. Old Pasha was sad. He looked up and laughed. Then he took off his helmet and threw it on the ground.


    Imad Pasha, with his sparse white hair flying, waved a Damascus machete and rushed towards Viscount Hesse.
