The large group of cavalry has to go south along the Volga River to the east, because there is no river directly to the east, and there is no place to drink water for livestock. There is enough pasture along the Volga River, and then go north along the Caspian Sea to Astrakhan. The water along the northern coast of the Caspian Sea contains

The salt content is low, close to fresh water, and can be barely drank.

Tamerlane's 50,000-strong army, which was ambushed in the swamps along the Volga River, could complete the ambush against Zhu Di.

After defeating Zhu Di, Timur will obtain a large number of firearms, new armors, and the army of the Golden Horde. Then he will leave and return to attack the Ottomans. At that time, he will have more than twice the strength and a large number of firearms.

and new armor, enough to complete a fatal blow to Bayezid. After defeating Bayezid, he will also obtain the Ottoman army, so that he can conquer the Ming Dynasty, which has been greatly reduced in strength due to the annihilation of Zhu Di's army.

The four capitals are in charge.

After winning these four capitals, we can talk about the others.

In other words, looking at the next progress on Jianwen's side, if Jianwen went north to attack the capital, Timur would just continue eastward to Kengguanjiayu.

but……

Zhu Di just won’t leave!

Now the weather has returned to the east, and Di should have failed to attack continuously. At least it seems that it is no longer possible to continue fighting.

But Zhu Di just wouldn't come out.

And now Zhu Di has not left, but his son and Gui Lichi are here.

"Sultan, we can't wait any longer. People's hearts will be scattered if we wait. There are 20,000 Ming troops in the east. We were defeated by Zhu Di with 5,000 Ming troops before. All the ministries are afraid of their Tuocheng firearms. Now there are 20,000 people. It is said that there are only 10,000 Tuocheng soldiers."

There are only sixteen cities in the city. They don't have the courage to fight. Even Shadibie doesn't want to fight anymore. He wants to lead his men to withdraw to the west of the Volga River and let Zhu Di and others leave. The Russians have already started to flee.

You must immediately send troops to attack Salechuk. Only by openly participating in the war can the various ministries believe that we can win and continue the fight."

Yedigai said.

Indeed, their problem now is no longer how to fight, nor even whether they can win.

It's about how to stabilize people's hearts.

The cavalry led by Shadibe Khan was defeated by Zhu Di with five camel cities. The terror of the Ming army's firearms had already spread during this period. The Golden Horde was nothing more than a tribe gathered together, plus ministers.

It is difficult to say that they are a Russian city-state that has a complete governance system in the true sense. Moreover, the Mongols, Turks, Russians and other chaotic ethnic groups are not the same. They could not defeat even the five camel cities before. Now over there

Sixteen came.

How to win this.

Why keep fighting if you can't win?

It's not that there is no way out. There is still vast grassland to the west of the Volga River. Even if Zhu Di leaves with the harvest, it will not affect everyone's continued nomadic life.

It's not a big deal even if Tuotuomisi wants to become a Khan of the Golden Horde...

He is!

It doesn’t even matter if you profess tribulation to that Ming emperor. He is so far away. Besides, it’s not like the Golden Horde didn’t profess vassalage to the emperor in the east in the past. Although it was the Mongol Khan, now the Ming Dynasty has captured the Mongol Khan to dance in the capital.

Well, if such a powerful monarch becomes a minister, then he should become a minister!

No shame!

In this case, why do these tribes and Russian princes continue to fight against such an invincible enemy for Shadibie and Yedi, and eventually turn their young men into cannon fodder?

People's hearts are scattered.

Now there is only one way to stabilize people's hearts and make these chaotic tribes and Russian princes believe that Yedigai and Shadi will be the winners again, that is, Tamerlane no longer hides, no longer plays his loyal minister of the Ming Dynasty, and directly makes it public
