Han Du looked at Xu Chengfei's expression and lowered his head to ponder a question. He said that he had to choose to join the army because he was not good at reading, so he understood Mongolian and could recognize Uighur language. At this level, he was not good at reading. So what did he think?

As if he heard what Han Du was thinking, Xu Chengfei raised his eyes and said, "It's not as complicated as you think. If you have more contact with the Mongol Generals in the army, you will naturally know it."

There were also many surrendered Mongol Generals in the Ming army. Not only did Lao Zhu not be harsh on these people at all, but he also trusted them to continue to serve in the army with great confidence.

"What is it said?" Han Du saw that Xu Chengfei had been reading a letter for a long time and had not responded, so he couldn't help but ask curiously.

The Uighur text is difficult to identify. Although Xu Chengfei knows it, it takes a lot of energy to identify it, so he can only take it slowly.

"Oh, this is said, asking where we came from and why we attacked them."

"Ah?" Han Du widened his eyes and pointed at Shuhan in disbelief and asked, "There is only these two sentences written on it?"

Xu Chengfei curled his lips and raised the book, saying, "The main thing is just these two sentences, the others are nonsense. For example, he said that he was the younger brother of the great sultan of the Timur Empire, the supreme city lord of Yilibali, etc. Do you want to listen to it one by one?"

"Then let it go." Han Du shook his head repeatedly. Han Du had no interest in asking about this kind of self-proclaimed rainbow fart.

However, when Han Du suddenly had an idea when he heard that this person was Timur's younger brother.

"Since he is Timur's younger brother, if we take him down, will Timur obey?"

Xu Chengfei sneered, "Don't say that he is just Timur's younger brother, even if you catch Timur's son, it's useless."

Han Du nodded and understood that the people in the Western Regions did not value the descendants of the Ming Dynasty at all. In their eyes, even the brothers were their greatest threat. Because their brothers were also qualified to inherit the throne. Maybe in Timur's heart, his brother would be the best if he died.

"Since he wants to know, let's tell him our origin openly."

Xu Chengfei nodded slightly and asked, "What's the reason?"

Han Du Zhanyan smiled, "Then tell him that they will hand over the Ming Dynasty mission. Those who dare to detain us are simply a brave man."

Xu Chengfei nodded, then wrote a reply letter, sending cavalry forward and shooting arrows into the city wall.

Sha Suchagan opened the letter and looked at it, his face suddenly darkened.

<

br> Of course he is not unfamiliar with Daming. Although he has never been there in person, he has a far more ordinary understanding of Daming, whether from the mouth of his brother or from the merchants of Daming.

Even with the current strength of the Timur Empire, it would not dare to provoke the Ming Dynasty easily.

As for what happened to the Ming Dynasty's mission, Shasuchagan happened to know. The First Ming Dynasty sent a mission six years ago. At that time, the Timur Empire was using troops against the West and constantly winning. By the time the Ming Dynasty mission arrived in Samarkand, the Timur Empire had already defeated Tutuo Lost.

Therefore, Timur himself began to float up.

When the Ming delegation told the "subject" Timur in the name of the emperor, Timur arrogantly believed that the Ming Dynasty was too far away from the Timur Empire and that the Ming emperor was not as good as him.

Next, Timur detained the Ming Dynasty mission, refused to contribute tribute to the Ming Dynasty, and sent people to bring the Ming Dynasty envoys to travel all over the Timur Empire to boast about how big the territory of the Timur Empire was.

As for the second Ming delegation, Sha Suchagan became even more clear. Since he learned about his brother's attitude towards the Ming Dynasty, when Sha Suchagan saw another Ming delegation coming, he directly captured the Ming delegation and sent it to Samarkand.

Sha Suchagan never expected that just for the sake of two missions, the Ming Dynasty would use so many troops to attack.

Just for the sake of two missions, is that?

While Sha Suzhagan was in vain with the Ming army, he stepped up the dispatch of troops to respond, and immediately sent people to Samarkand to inform Timur that the Ming Dynasty had brought troops to attack and demanded news of the Ming delegation.

Yili closed the city gates of many roads in Li, and instantly separated the inside and outside. The people in the city also received news that a large army was attacking, and some people also knew that it was from the Ming Dynasty.

The locals are more familiar with the Ming Dynasty. Originally, the Khanate of the East Chagata was extremely respectful to the Ming Dynasty, and people were extremely interested in the Ming Dynasty's products.

Demand generated trade. At that time, many Ming merchants walked on the Silk Road and came to Yili to trade with people of all ethnic groups. The prosperous trade naturally brought all the news of the Ming Dynasty to Yili.

However, those merchants who came here from Samarkand did not have a clear concept of the Ming Dynasty. In addition, in recent years, the Timur Empire has won victories in the west, and its territory has expanded for a while. In addition, Timur himself promoted himself as a

Yin Silan's only true god in the world, and even the hearts of ordinary people are extremely inflated, and they don't take other countries seriously at all.

People who are less than a certain level do not understand the power of the Ming Dynasty at all.

Faced with the arrival of the city, the people in the city had two reactions. Originally, the people from the East Chagatai Khanate closed their doors and windows, and firmly protected themselves.

The merchants from Samarkand shouted proudly, and some even expressed their anger that they wanted to ask the Sudan to summon a large army to fight.

Han Du looked at the bustling city surrounded by him, put down his telescope and said lightly, "Order the army to rest for a night and attack the city tomorrow."

"Siege? Timur is a great country. Is it a heavy thing?" Xu Chengfei advised.

Han Du said indifferently, "What do you really matter? The two missions of the Ming Dynasty went to Timur, but there was no news. If there was no Timur in it, who would believe it? Either Timur imprisoned the mission or killed the mission. If such a crime was done, the Ming Dynasty should do whatever he wanted to do to Timur now. Even if he immediately captured the city of Samarkand, it was Timur himself."

"But if we attack the city, will Timur take revenge on the mission?" Xu Chengfei was a little worried.

Han Du laughed and pointed to Yilibali City in the distance, saying, "These Western Region barbarians worship the strong and despise the weak. If our army of hundreds of thousands of people came here and did nothing, then Timur thought that the Ming Dynasty was afraid of him, and the mission had no way to survive. On the contrary, if we could capture this city, Timur would not kill the mission, and would even provide them with delicious food and drink."

"It makes sense." After hearing this, Xu Chengfei smiled slightly. He turned around to arrange camping affairs and tomorrow's siege.

Sha Sucha had a worried night, but he didn't see the Ming army attacking at night, and he thought he had successfully held the Ming army.

But unexpectedly, before he could have time to be happy, the shrill sound of the horns resounded throughout the city again.

"Who! What the hell is going on?"

Sha Suzhagan rode a horse and ran up the city wall quickly, and saw the movements of the Ming army at a glance. "What are they trying to do?"

The subordinates next to him were speechless at the city lord's words. The Ming army had already been suppressed by a large army. If you didn't want to attack the city, what else could you do? You can't ask the city lord to treat you to a meal, right?

However, given Sha Suchagan's reputation for being cruel in the past, his subordinates did not dare to say much, so they could only lower their heads to prevent the city lord from venting their anger.

Sha Suchagan suddenly thought of something

So, I quickly wrote a letter and handed it to Mingjun again.

Attention to Xu Chengfei checking the letters that had just ejaculated from the other side, Han Du couldn't help but ask, "What do he want to say?"

Xu Chengfei shook his head, "Ask us why we want to attack the city, and the others are still arrogant and clamoring as always."

"Then you don't have to pay attention." Han Du waved his hand, "The cannon comes forward and attack the city!"

With Han Du's military orders, ten cannons were pushed out by the Shanzi Camp and arranged in front of the formation.

Since gunpowder and shells were consumed a lot on the grassland, the current stock no longer allowed Han Du to pull out all the cannons and fire them volleys.

In addition, Han Du wanted to test the strength of the defenders first, so he only used ten sects.

"Boom~"

A cannonball drew an arc and directly hit the city wall. Gravel splashed and sand suffused down.

"Cannon, the Ming army has cannons!"

Hearing his subordinates shouting, Sha Suchagan's face was as beautiful as the cannon. He was not unfamiliar with cannons. The siege with cannons and the siege without cannons are two completely different concepts.

The Timur Empire also had cannons, but the bulky cannons could only be used to defend the city. Sha Suzhagan had never thought about using cannons to attack the city.

Besides, Sha Suzhagan knew how far the Ming Dynasty was from here. At such a long distance, how did the Ming army bring the cannons here?

"Retaliation! Retaliation!" Sha Suzhagan didn't care much, pulled out the scimitar from his waist and kept shouting.

But after shouting several times, my subordinates looked at him motionlessly.

"Mr. Lord, the Ming army's cannons are too far away, so we can't attack them."

Sha Sucha listened and felt irritated.

What does it mean? That is, the Ming army can leisurely bombard him with cannons, but he cannot fight back? Or, even if it fights back, it will not be of much use?

"Strike back! I order, fight back!"

Sha Suchagan waved the scimitar again, looking at the subordinates in front of him with fierce eyes.

My subordinates seemed to be targeted by Hei Mamba, and they trembled violently. They quickly shouted at the soldiers under their command, "Battack, fight back immediately!"

Swallowing ~

Rows of bows and arrows shot out from a high point, but they only flew less than a hundred and fifty steps away and fell down weakly.
