Chapter 488: The Fall of Baghdad



"The enemy still wants to resist!"

Chagar, riding on horseback, saw the Dailem people arrayed in battle array in the distance and grinned, saying, "Don't they know their death is imminent?"

A deputy general asked, "Deputy Khan, do you want to stop and form the battle line first?"

“A waste of time.”

Chagar said coldly: "Take advantage of the fierce momentum of the army now, send the order, charge forward and break through their formation directly."

Military combat requires morale.

They just came charging with great momentum, charging as fiercely as an arrow.

If we stop to form a battle line, it will be equivalent to losing morale and having to boost morale again. It is better to just charge forward to avoid any accidents.

"yes!"

The deputy general received the order and shouted, "Kill!"

"kill!"

When the Turks received the order, they immediately became excited.

Each of them was wearing leather armor, with disheveled hair, holding a scimitar in their hands, and howling like a wolf.

"Remember, don't forget the death order I gave you. After entering the city, you can plunder other places, but you must not go to the docks. After the charge is over, everyone enter the city to supervise!"

Chagar said to the chief commander of the supervisory team beside him.

The reason why the Turks were invincible was that they did not prohibit killing and looting in cities, according to records of Arab historians of the same period.

If there is no resistance, the Turks will at most kill and rob. If they meet a poor person, they will not kill him, but if they meet a rich person, they will force him to hand over his money, otherwise they will kill him.

If he meets a woman, he will often be insulted.

But once they encounter resistance, it will be bad. The Turks will kill anyone they see. At that time, Shiraz, and later in 1064 AD, the Armenian city of Ani was massacred by the Turks after the local military and civilians rebelled.

At the moment, since the Caliph is in Baghdad, Tughril and Chagall certainly dare not massacre the city, but for the sake of military morale, looting and rape are indispensable. It is impossible to achieve the level of strict enforcement of orders as Yue Fei.

In fact, it was not just the Turks. Most ancient armies were like this, including the chaotic periods of the Central Plains dynasties, such as the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, when massacres, looting, rape, killing, and atrocities existed at all times.

So this situation is inevitable. The only thing Tugliler and Chagar have to avoid is conflict with the Song Dynasty's envoy team.

"yes!"

The commander of the supervisory team agreed.

At this moment on the battlefield, groups of Turks rushed towards the Delami army like a tide.

At first, they were able to stand still with the stern shouts of the Delamu officer.

When the Turks approached within a mile, the Daylam people finally could not bear the pressure and someone shouted, "Run!"

Then, like a landslide and a dam collapsing, the original formation suddenly fell into chaos. Many people rode their horses and fled to both sides, even throwing away their weapons and armor, and dared not resist at all.

"kill!"

The Turks rushed into the formation with a grim smile and killed people indiscriminately.

The once glorious Daylam Corps had almost no courage to resist and was defeated in an instant.

Suddenly, a large number of Turks poured into the city and began to burn, kill and loot.
