Chapter 384 The Fear of Life and Death

"But, where are the troops?"

Omar asked: "Although the Khitans only have 20,000 or 30,000 troops, most of them are cavalry. If we want to destroy them, we are afraid that we must prepare a 100,000 army, and most of them must be cavalry."

Jasaner laughed and said, "Send people to inform Khorasan, Sistan, Gazna, Mazandram and Gur, and let each family produce five thousand cavalry and five thousand infantry."

As long as they sent enough troops, we would have more than 20,000 cavalry and more than 20,000 infantry. We would have another 30,000 cavalry and 20,000 infantry, which is the 100,000 army. In front of the 100,000 army, what is the Khitan people!"

"But military expenses..."

Omar hesitated and said, "The 100,000 troops are consumed in a small amount every day. Not to mention the small countries of Khorasan, even Seljuk, we are afraid we can't afford it, right?"

Jasaner frowned and said without hesitation: "Add tax! Let the Chancellor of the Finance Department take out the money first and then add the war tax."

"Master Z bless them, and now it's time for them to fight for Master Z."

"What's more, we can do a loot on Western Liao--the Prophet taught us that we should ride war horses and scimitars to rob our enemies."

"And, Omar, I don't want to hear any other questions right now, because the most important question now is how to solve those Khitans."

"If anyone is unwilling to participate in the coalition, then they will be our enemies in the future. Not only will they not be protected by the Seljuk Empire, but they will face our blow."

“…”

Regarding the matter of sending troops to kill Western Liao, Khorasan, Sistan, Gazna, Mazandram and Gur Kingdom responded without hesitation and formed a 100,000 coalition with Seljuk.

Originally, the Western Regions is quite large, and everyone has lived here for generations. Even if there is one more Western Liao Dynasty, the problem is not very big.

But what the Western Regions and the Seljuks couldn't accept was that in addition to their almost completely different living habits, political systems, and military systems, their beliefs were also messy.

Some believe in the Supreme Lord, some believe in the Buddha, and some believe in the Gods who don’t know what kind of gods…

Of course, if it is just like this, even if the Western Regions and the Seljuks pinch their noses and endure them, they will not be able to endure them.

However, the key to the problem is that the Khitans in Western Liao actually held flags written in Chinese characters!

Chinese characters made people in the Western Regions and people from the Seljuk Empire think of Han, Tang, and the fear of being dominated by Han and Tang.

The emperors of the Han and Tang dynasties would often send envoys to the Western Regions. When they were happy, they would kill a king. When they were unhappy, they would kill a king, and they would always massacre cities and destroy the country.

In order to survive, the helpless countries in the Western Regions had to contribute beautiful women, wine and food to the emperors of the Han and Tang dynasties every year...

That is a great horror that cannot help but die!

It’s not that no one thought of resisting, but whenever someone stood up to resist, the Han army and the Tang army would shout loudly the slogans of capturing the king and destroying the country, and excitedly led the army to the Western Regions to slaughter.

Yes, every time someone wants to resist their emperor, the Han and Tang corpses will run to the Western Regions excitedly. They are really happy, as if they have encountered some happy event.

Including the Battle of Henglus, which was boasted by these Western Regions, the senior officials also knew what was going on--

The Arab Empire initially had 200,000 troops, but later it increased to 300,000 troops, while the Tang Dynasty's expeditionary army had only 24,000 people from beginning to end...

Moreover, the reason why the Tang Dynasty's expeditionary army was defeated was because the Gelulu people turned against each other in front of the formation. Otherwise, the outcome would be difficult to say.

Therefore, it was not until the country called Tang Dynasty that civil strife broke out, and the Tubo people took the opportunity to destroy the Anxi Protectorate, whose troops were less than 20,000 due to the transfer of troops back to the country to suppress the rebellion, that these people from the Western Regions dared to stand up and speak.

Even so, these people's hearts are still filled with fear.

Now, the Khitans in the Western Liao Dynasty held flags written in Chinese characters, and many of them were talking Chinese. They came to the Western Regions again and crossed the border at any time...

In short, it took a long time since everyone could have had a good night's sleep. Now they have the opportunity to follow the Seljuk Empire to fight the Western Liao Dynasty to death, and the Seljuk Empire pays for the military expenses, so everyone will certainly not refuse.

In order to stabilize the morale of the coalition forces, highlight the strength of the Seljuk Empire and the wealth of his own Sultan, Jasaner even spread gold coins along the way, and all kinds of rewards and banquets never stopped.

On the other hand, Yelu Dashi inevitably felt a little sad and sad. Even if all the people in Gelulu were included, Yelu Dashi had only more than 20,000 people, or even less than 30,000.

Even with the weapons purchased from the Song Dynasty, Yelu Dashi's heart was still not as calm as he showed on the surface.

After all, it was 20,000 to 30,000,000, and the other party was constantly receiving supplies from the Western Regions and the Seljuk Empire. On the other hand, he almost really lost all his money to fight this battle. Once he lost, he would be completely lost.

In order to solve his worries, or leave a way out for himself, the Western Liao, and the Khitan, Yelu Dashi simply sent an envoy to the Song Dynasty without anyone knowing it.

But what Yelu Dashi and the bigwigs in Xiliao never expected was that although they had underestimated the Seljuk Empire enough, the performance of the Seljuk Empire's army was still so surprising-

During the march, I never forget to worship, and it is morning rituals, morning rituals, night rituals, five weeks a day.

Let me put it this way, the entire Seljuk coalition basically only has half or even less than half of the time every day to really be used for marching, and a lot of time is spent on weekdays...

In addition, news about Jasaner holding banquets during the march, such as Jasaner and those little kings who did not forget to bring their concubines during the march, spreading to Yelu Dashi's side, almost shocking the eyes of the Khitans to the ground.

"Are these guys broken heads? Or do they have no idea of ​​the significance and importance of this war?"
